Party it, ladies

Some things never get old, like spending the night in watching movies and the getting songs to said movie stuck in your head, so you find yourself dancing to it all day long the next day;) Well, we all know which movie this is from, right? So, then get off the couch and bring it on girls, party it up!

Refound truth

Bracelet: Claire´s 

Well, you know how you have some sort of  "traditions"? You probably have tons af them to yourself, at least I do. One of mine is that I cannot pack for travelling without going through all my jewellery. Therefore I always empty my entire dresser, get out all the little satin bags and wooden boxes that hold my things empty them out on the floor and dig myself through all-time favorites, tropical exots, and forgotten treasures. I do not know why I do it, nor what I need it for, but I know that I do it every time. And when I say every time, I mean every time. Wether I am going on a two-day weekend trip or a year-long travel to study abroad. Of course the amout of time spent in preparations for those travels (somewhat in proportion to the actual travel), but I wouldn´t give up my ritual of jewellery choosing for anything. It somehow calms me down and makes me aware of the upcoming departure. I know this may sound a little silly, but it is just something I do. And at times this little ritual brings up pretty little treasures like this bracelet. I got it a long time ago at Claire´s and I still love the little message on it. It actually turns out to be one of the little things I was talking about earlier this week. It is really nice to have a little reminder of love dangeling from your wrist at times. So, in the end I can say that however dull all those little things we do might seem. However insicnificant we might think they are at times, they help. They help us to be eased up, help us to be more us. And then maybe they help us find something else that seems little, but can be significant at times.

Last preparations

                                                   Swim suit: Hunkemöller

I already mentioned that I will do some travelling soon and actually the date is coming closer. I will leave this Thursday, but where is still to be revealed;) As for now I am packing up things, finishing some college papers, and doing some final shopping. For today that meant: swim suit! I know that most of you will wonder why I decided to go for such a classical piece instead of something fancy, but it is very easy to explain: this swim suit is amazing! The color is very today, the cut is classic and therefore really body-loving;), and you can pair it with tons of jewellery and/or fun colored nails without looking trashy. So, yeah basically I love this swim suit and I am so happy I found it. That was really easy, too. Hunkemöller was the first shop I went to, this was the first suit I saw, one of the first I tried and the one I eventually bought for a steal-price of 20€! So, all I can say is that I am really pleased with today´s shopping trip and completely happy and that I can´t wait to hit the pool in this cute new swim wear!

Oh, she knows me soo well...

As I told you guys yesterday I am not into baking and stuff much, but i am big into decorating and eating! So, basically I just loooove cupcakes! I was really happy when my mum presented me with this very sweet book the other day and honestly now I caanot wait for an occasion to bake some of these! This actually inspired me to make those amazing Oreo Pralinés I showed you yesterday!

Oreo Pralinés

 What you need? A pack of Oreos, 375g Cream cheese, 400g white chocolate

love to unwrap those

Smash the Oreos to pieces: Goodbye:(

                                                        Now add the cream cheese

form the mix to little balls and store them in the fridge for about 30 minutes

then, melt the chocolate

cover the little balls in chocolate

leave them in the fridge over night

And finally: Enjoy!

I am not into cooking or baking a lot, actually I love to quote Carrie at times when I am asked to cook who said: I am more Coco Chanel than Coq au vin! But I simply had share these amazing sweets with you lovelies!

What kiss-day taught me

A couple days back facebook reminded me of a really cool celebration: the kiss-day. I think it is a nice thing to enhance romance in such a way in today´s world. We are often busy, fast-paced, and narrow-eyed. We run around focused on our tasks and forget some essentials over it. Those being: Love, Romance, True Happiness. This is often said easily, but forgotten just as fast. So, what can we do to work against our "running" habits? What ways do we have to make our path cross those of love and happiness. I wonder about this as I am one of those people to run around everyday, have a million dates and things to remember and phone book-thick calendar. I am one of those people to remember everything except to just let go.

So, when I stumbled across the first picture in prepararion of this post I thought of something I have written about before: small things! It probably really is all those small things that make up the whole: LOVE. But, and here comes the problem to this wonderful solution: how can we make sure to give all those things the meaning they deserve? I have not found a perfect way for doing so, but I am trying my best everyday: to be open-eyed and open-minded! If we take the courage and the time to walk around a little different in our lives it might actually change a lot! For me the first steps on the way to doing so are:
first of all: this blog, it makes me a lot more alert to beauty in everyday life,
second: tune it down sometimes, I have noticed that when I sit down for lunch it can be very nice to turn off my iPod and just enjoy the sounds surrounding me
third: even if it sounds weird, I like to walk, yep, especially on days that my brain is clouded from studying it is nice to go outside and enjoy some nothing;) just air, fields, and walking
Well, I bet and I hope there are a lot more ways to enjoy the small things that make up such big things as Love! What are your ways to do so? I would love to hear about them!
