A Life Update
Life is funny sometimes. One minute you are unhappy with your life and the next something wonderful happens and turns your entire life upside down. That's exactly what happened to me this year. At the beginning of the year I was stuck in a job that made me unhappy with no prospects for the future and only a few short months later my position had changed completely.
Ever since finishing my degree I struggled to find a job that was in line with my qualifications and interests. Eventually I started applying for jobs that I really really really didn't want to do just to finally have a job but despite various interviews I could never get the jobs because of 'lack of experience'. I was depressed and demotivated and if I was honest with myself I didn't really want a job in Germany because all I wanted was to fulfill my childhood dream and move to England and to be with my English boyfriend. This however was a distant dream when my boyfriend came to visit me for christmas 2016. One night when I came home from work he told me about a job vacancie that he had come across which sounded suitable for me. We ended up writing the application together and some assessments and one Skype interview later (I say that but it actually took a few weeks) I had got myself a job in the field that I had always been interested in (despite lack of experience) and in the area where my boyfriend lives.
The only challenge was that they needed me as soon as possible. So I handed in my notice at my job and started packing up my life in Germany. Within six weeks I cancelled my flat, sold some of my things including my beloved car and packed up all of my belongings whilst still working full-time and at the end of February 2017 I embarked on this new chapter of my life.
I have to admit that these six weeks were the most stressful but also most exciting of my life. On the one hand I finally got what I had always wanted but on the other hand it meant that I had to leave my family and friends which was incredibly hard and there were many tears.
Four months on I have settled in well at my new job and in my new home. I am so much happier and finally feel like I am where I belong. Of course I still miss my family and friends an awful lot but I am optimistic that I will be able to see them all at least once a year which is better than nothing I guess.
So there we have it, sometimes dreams do come true.
Now back to watching 101 Dalmatians on telly. Hope to see you back for my next post.

My Very Late Christmas Wishlist
With christmas only a few days away I
thought I'd share my wishlist with you as I like to have a bit of a
nosy into other peoples wishlists myself.
I've been on the lookout for a good
quality handbag that I can wear on my arm as well as across body. I
quite like the look of the Fossil Emma Satchel and think it is the
perfect every day size.
This is definitely a favourite of many
bloggers and since I recently rediscovered how much I like face oils
I can't wait to give this a try.
3. Iphone 7
I would really like a new phone because
my 6 year old Iphone 4 just can't keep up anymore. Whenever I get to
use my sister's Iphone 7 I am amazed about how fast it is and how
nice and bright photos turn out.
I absolutely love candles and
particularly like the look and smell of Heyland & Whittle
candles. For me they have a very luxurious feel to them and their
range of scents is just amazing.
I already own a rather sporty Daniel
Wellington watch which I wear almost every day and now want a more
dainty, ladylike watch to wear with dresses and for formal occasions.
When I first saw the Cluse La Vedette watch I knew that this was
exactly what I have been looking for. It is elegant, not too flashy
and reasonably priced aswell.
This film is such a classic so I would
like to add it to my collection of old films.
I love a good cosy hoodie and I think
that Superdry make some of the best ones. I really like this blue one
with the subtle star print and would love to receive it for
christmas.
I've been wanting a Jo Malone fragrance
for quite a while and hope to get one very soon as my current perfume
is about to run out. I sniffed my way through the Jo Malone store a
while ago and found so many scents I liked. The one that stood out
most to me was Earl Grey and Cucumber so I definitely want to get my
hands on it soon.
My current curling wand is rather hard
to use and I'm never happy with the results I get. I heard and read
many good things about the Remington Pearl Pro Curl Wand and would
like to get it so I can retire my old curling wand.
So there we have it. What's on your wishlist this christmas?

How to beat the winter blues
I don't know about you but
I'm definitely one of those people who suffer from winter blues. I
wouldn't even say that I generally dislike winter, it's just that I
find it hard to deal with the darkness and the weather which makes me
want to stay indoors way too much and robbs me of my motivation to do
anything, particularly on grey and dreary days. I'm also not very
good with the cold temperatures and admire people who live in REALLY
cold countries/climates (I'm looking at you Canada and Russia).
However, since winter keeps coming round every year without fail,
I've found a few little ways of making it more bearable which I want
to share with you today.
Make the most of any sunny
spells
I try and make the most of
the rare sunny spells by getting out and about for a little walk or
some errands or even just sitting on my balcony in the sun. The light
and warmth revives me and is so important to give my body the much
needed Vitamin D.
Try and
embrace the bad weather. Get cosy!
Since we can't change the
weather it is best to make the most of it and try and appreciate that
it isn't just a nuisance but that it can also be quite cosy
actually. So get your blankets out, make some hot chocolate or tea
and cuddle up on the sofa with a book or a good film.
Buy some flowers
With christmas over, I'm
craving spring but since I'll have to wait for that a bit longer I
make sure to buy some fresh flowers as often as I can. I think a
nice vase of tulips instantly brightens up the room and it
definitely lifts my mood, despite the gloomy weather.
Make some plans and changes
that get you excited
I always find that making
plans and sticking to my new years resolutions really helps with
improving my mood and getting me even more excited for spring and
summer. I like making plans for the months ahead so that I have
something to look forward to and to work towards.
Watch summery films
On days when it is
particularly cold and wintery I like watching films that are set in
summer or a sunny location because they give me that summery feeling
and let me forget about winter for a moment.
I hope these tips help you
as much as they help me :-)

Astor Pro Manicure Already Dry! Quick Dry Topcoat
Today
I want to show you my favourite topcoat, which I've been using for
the last six months.
For
years and years I never even bothered with topcoats as I wasn't keen
on adding yet another step to my manicure. One of the things I find
most annoying about painting my nails is waiting for them to dry. In
my mind, adding another coat of something would probably not make my
wait any shorter. I was so wrong however. I ended up picking up the Astor Pro Manicure Already Dry! Quick Dry Topcoat on a complete whim
one day and haven't looked back since.
Now,
I have to add that I used to have a bit of a love/hate relationship
with this at first which was completely down to me using it wrong. It
is important to give the nails some time to dry a bit and not to apply
the topcoat too early, otherwise you will move the nailpolish around
which then creates gaps and makes the natural nail visible again.
Once I found that out (silly me!) I started to love it and like how it
finishes off my manicure and gives my nails a nice shine. I will
definitely repurchase this once I run out.
Which
is your favourite Topcoat?

Instagrammers to follow: Preppy fashion and lifestyle
I'm a huge fan of Instagram and love looking at my feed for inspiration and happiness. There are so many interesting accounts with a whole range of topics and I thought I'd share some of my favourites with you.
Today I'll share some wonderful, preppy accounts with you that I love for their outfits and preppy lifestyle.
@sarahkjp
First of all Sarah Vickers from Classy Girls Wear Pearls. How could I not include her in this list. I love her style and think she is absolutely beautiful. I also live vicariously through her because she and her fiance Kiel just get up to so many cool adventures.
@carly
Carly is the lovely lady behind the blog The College Prepster which I have been reading for a long time now. I love her style and love following along with all the adventures that she, her boyfriend Garrett and her cute dog Teddy get up to.
@summerwind41490
I love Sydneys account for her beautifully preppy and sophisticated outfits and lifestyle. I think she always looks incredibly classy and happy which is what draws me to her blog and Instagram account more often than I care to admit.
So there you have it. This list is by no means a complete list of all my favourite preppy and sophisticated Instagrammers but these are definitely the ones I browse most often.

I absolutely adore Whitleys Instagram feed because it is so colourful and stylish. I love that her outfits are super classic and wearable without being boring. The only problem is that I want all of her outfits for my own wardrobe now.
Robins feed is full of super preppy outfits and I like how she combines various pieces. She also has enviable hair which I always very much admire. (Damn you thin hair...)

Autumn nails
Today I wanted to share some of my favourite autumn nailcolours with you

(as usual) my favourites and I can't wait to add to my collection this
autumn and winter :-)

Essie - Dress to Kilt (Limited edition)
Essie - Bahama Mama
Essie - Bahama Mama
P2 - 017 Elegant

Kiel James Patrick Pieces I Love
I've been a big fan of the KJP products ever since I've come across Sarah Vickers blog
'Classy Girls Wear Pearls' a few years ago.
Over the years Sarah and her financé Kiel added more and more beautiful accessories and now even shirts and shoes to their collection. I really like the whole classy-New England- nautical theme and definitely want to add some of their pieces to my wardrobe soon.

Dr. Scheller Organic Apothecary – Organic Thyme Moisturiser
Today I want to give you a quick review
of the latest addition to my skincare routine, the
Dr. Scheller Organic Thyme Moisturiser.
I picked this up a few weeks ago on a
whim and because it was on offer.
I had already been interested in the
Dr.Scheller skincare range for some time but always ended up buying
cheaper products instead.
First I couldn't decide whether to get
the lavender or thyme day cream, but then chose the thyme one as it
seemed to be more suited for my skin type.
Dr.Scheller products are mostly made
from natural ingredients and some of them are organic which probably
explains the price. ( 8,95€ for 50ml)
After using it for some time now I can
say that I absolutely love the cream. It is not too greasy to break
me out but somehow rich enough to moisturise my dry cheeks and
forehead.
It sinks in relatively quickly and
doesn't feel sticky. At first I wasn't too impressed with the scent
because it is a bit too sweet for my liking but it is bearable and I
got used to it.
I also like the packaging as it looks
slightly old fashioned ( in a good way) and quite fancy too. Of
course this isn't the most important aspect, but I'm a sucker for
pretty looking products.
I'm keen to try more Dr. Scheller
products in the future, that is , if I can find another shop that
sells them as my local drugstore stopped stocking them now. (typical
ha!)
Have you already tried any Dr.Scheller
products?

Life Update
I thought it was time for
a little life update so here goes.
Since I finished Uni I've
been trying to find a job which turned out to be much more difficult
than I first anticipated. I left Uni with a Bachelors Degree in
History and English which isn't the most useful combination of
subjects as I found out. I don't desire becoming a teacher (also I
would have to go back to Uni to get fully qualified for that) which
seems to be the most suitable profession with this kind of
qualification.
Before I started my uni
course I was unsure of the direction I wanted to go in so I tried to
gather information about different subjects and prospects for the
future. In the end I opted for the History and English degree as they
were some of my favourite subjects in school and I was told that I
would be able to find a job in loads of different areas of work like
media and journalism, trade, administration and so on.
Unfortunately this hasn't
been the case as the German job market is very "hot" on additional
qualifications and there is loads of competition as well.
After trying to find some
kind of an entry level job in administration and other fields and
failing miserably I now decided to go back into education and start a
further education course to become a foreign language assistant.
This decision hasn't been
an easy one because part of me still just wants to find a job and
finally start earning money. The prospect of another 6 months of
studying combined with having very little money doesn't fill me with
much joy at the moment. I know however that I have to take action
and improve my chances on the job market in order to find work and
finally start living the life I imagined.
I had big plans for my
blog as well but my situation has been dragging me down in recent
months so I lost a lot of my motivation for writing blog posts. I
really want this to change again and will hopefully get into some
kind of a blogging routine.
Thanks for reading
everyone. See you soon for my next regular post.

Some new skincare bits
Today I want to show you some skincare bits that I picked up last time I went to the shops. I was on the hunt for a new cleanser because my usual one was about to run out and I fancied trying something new.
After I'd done some research online I picked up the Yves Rocher Hydra Vegetal Refreshing Gel Cleanser. I already used it a few times and like it so far.
I also got another bottle of my favourite toner from LUSH
Last but not least I popped into TK MAXX (which is always dangerous for my bank balance) and found this cool book all about skincare and written by Liz Earle the skincare expert and maker of the ever so popular Liz Earle Cleanse and Polish Hot Cloth Cleanser. It is a very interesting read and teaches you all about different skin types, skin conditions, which foods are great for your skin and all sorts of other useful things. It was also only 7,49 € which I think is quite a good bargain.

Boden Wishlist May 2015
In recent months I've come to really love the Boden Clothing website. I don't exactly remember anymore how I came across it in the first place but I fell head over heels in love with the brand and haven't looked back since. I love how classic, yet stylish and fun all of their pieces are and find myself perusing the website way too often. One of the best features on the site is the 'Outfit Maker' which is super handy to create outfits and see how the different items look together.
Unfortunately it also makes me want to buy EVERYTHING and makes me long for an entirely new spring and summer wardrobe. For now though I made this wishlist of some of my favourite pieces, some of which I will definitely add to my wardrobe soon.
Have a nice day

February Favourites 2015
Today I want to share my favourite products from february with you, so here they are:
Garnier Micellar Water
I was over the moon when I
discovered this in the drugstore because until recently it wasn't
available in Germany. It works so well for removing my make up and
refreshing my skin without irritating my sensitive eyes. A little
goes a long way with this too.
The Body Shop Body Butter Satsuma
I love the Body Shop Body
Butters in general but this one is particularly nice and satisfies my
love for fresh and citrusy scents. It makes my rather dry skin feel
baby soft and the smell is just divine. The only downside is that it
takes a bit longer to sink in which I don't mind too much.
Revlon Lipbutter in Pink Lemonade
This is such a nice everyday
colour which makes the lips look nice and glossy while feeling
absolutely non sticky on the lips.
Manhattan Khol Kajal Eyeliner in Nude Couture 51D
I love using this on my
water line to make my eyes look bigger and more awake without the
eyeliner standing out too much. It is quite long lasting and doesn't
irritate my eyes.
Catrice Glamour Doll Mascara
I love everything about this
mascara. The slim plastic brush seperates and elongates my lashes
very nicely and it only costs about 3,50€
Which were your favourites in february?

My Favourite Make Up Brushes
Today I wanted to talk you through my favourite make up brushes which I use on an almost daily basis.
At the moment I only use drugstore brand brushes since they do exactly what I want them to do so I never felt the need to splurge on really expensive ones.
1. Real Techniques - Powder Brush
My favourite powder brush as it is so big and fluffy and soft and therefore perfect for applying powder on top of my foundation. This brush was very kindly gifted to me by my friend Alice as well as the blush brush that's coming up next.
2. Real Techniques - Blush Brush
Again a very nice and soft brush that is the perfect size for my cheeks. I also love how easy to clean these brushes are.
3. Real Techniques - Stippling Brush
This is my very first Real Techniques brush. I've had it for a few years now and still love it. I use it whenever I want to achieve a medium to light coverage.
4. B-e-cosmetics - Foundation Buffer
I first came across this brand on Youtube on the channel of Rebecca Floeter
who is the owner of the online shop www.b-e-cosmetics.de. I love this foundation brush a lot because it blends in my foundation very smoothly without making it look too cakey. It washes very well too and I'm quite impressed with the quality.
5. Ebelin - Concealer Brush
I picked this brush up from the local drugstore (ebelin is their own brand) and I'm really impressed with the quality considering its price of under 5€. I like using it to apply concealer under my eyes and around my nose. I occasionally use it to conceal blemishes and afterwards give it a good wash as to not spread bacteria.
What are your favourite make up brushes?

A sunday walk and some Italian food
Last sunday I went for a nice walk with some of my family and their dogs. The weather was absolutely gorgeous with the sun shining all day and the temperatures being nice and mild.
We encountered many other dogs and their owners, amongst them two super cute puppies who were playing with each other. Our walk took us along fields and through woods and I really enjoyed getting out of the flat and having a good ol' chin wag with my family.
After all that walking we were quite hungry so we decided to have some food at the local Italian. I ordered some rather tasty pasta with cherry tomatoes, garlic and parmesan topped off with some fresh rocket. It was absolutely delicious and the perfect ending to this wonderful sunday.
What did you get up to on the weekend?

Stationery Wants
Amongst my family and friends it's really no secret that I'm a huge stationery lover. I can spend hours browsing the web and my favourite stationery shops for nice notebooks, colourful pens, pastel coloured post-its and any other desk accessory that takes my fancy (despite having way too much already).
Buying new stationery always makes me want to write and be super productive which is a very good feeling.
I thought I'd share some of my most recent finds with you, so here's my latest stationery wishlist.

Favourite Winter Reds
![]() |
| left to right: Essie-dress to kilt, Essie-forever yummy,Essie-bahama mama,Barry M-raspberry |
I don't know what it is
but this winter I've been craving red on my nails more than any other
colour in my collection. Maybe that's because red brings some life
into those dark, grey winter days, maybe it's just the simple
elegance of it. No matter what the reason, here are my four most
reached for winter reds:
Essie – dress to kilt
A deep dark red from a
recent limited edition which is just the right shade. Neither too
bright nor too dark.
Essie – forever yummy
A very classic red from
the main Essie range which is an all year round favourite of mine. I
love it around Christmas time as well as in summer paired with
nautical outfits and navy and white stripes.
Essie – bahama mama
A firm staple in every
bloggers collection and rightly so. I love it because it is such a
beautiful and vibrant colour. Depending on the lighting it sometimes
looks like a dark wine colour or toned down purple.
Barry M – raspberry
A pinky red that is
somewhere in the middle between Essie dress to kilt and Essie bahama
mama.
Which are your favourite reds?

A Parcel from Alice
The other day a lovely parcel arrived on my doorstep from my friend Alice (Pretty Wonderful on Youtube and her blog).
The things she sent me came in this cool Union Jack box (an old glossybox) which I think is such a nice personal touch as she knows how much I love Great Britain. She also wrote the nicest card. :-)
Everything was beautifully wrapped and I just had to snap a picture of it before I unwrapped anything.
First off she got me the Facial Scrub, Cleansing and Toning Lotion, as well as the Face Mask from the
Boots Tea Tree and Witch Hazel range which I had been interested in trying for some time.
She also sent me another Revlon Lipbutter in the colour Pink Lemonade and a Bourjois Rouge Edition Lipstick in Rose Tweed. They both apply like a dream and I really love them.
I also I received a sample of the John Frieda Sheer Blonde Shampoo and Conditioner, a super sparkly
Barry M glitter topcoat, a Barry M blusher (I don't own any Barry M blushes yet so I'm very pleased to be able to try one), some Invisibobbles (you know how much I love them from my last favourites post) and last but not least the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer (so handy as I just ran out of mine and can't buy a new one in Germany).
I'm really happy with everything I got so THANK YOU so much Alice. :-)
I hope my parcel for you will arrive at yours soon and in one piece.
Have you tried any of these products?

Some TK Maxx Goodies
In the last couple of years I've become a real fan of TK Maxx. Although I mostly don't bother with the clothes department as this can be a bit too messy for my liking, I always check out their homewares and beauty products as well as sportswear. I hardly ever leave the shop empty handed as there's always something that takes my fancy.
This time I found these two notebooks which were 5,99€ each as well as this nice, spotty storage tin which was 3,49€. I saw loads of other nice things too but I managed to contain myself at least a bit and didn't make my bank account cry too much.
Do you like TK Maxx as much as I do?

January Favourites 2015
I know I'm
probably not the only one who's thinking 'What? It's the end of
January already?' With the new year being in full swing again I
discovered some new favourite products and reached for some old
favourites that I now want to share with you.
Got2Be Guardian Angel Heat Protection Spray
I've been
using this for several years now and really like it. After using a
different product for a few months now I repurchased the Got2Be
Guardian Angel. It smells nice, makes my hair feel super soft and is
also quite cheap. As far as I can tell it also protects my hair well
from the heat, which is the main purpose of a heat protection spray
really.
Neutrogena Visibly Clear 2 in 1 Wash and Mask
Another oldie
but goodie product that I've been using on and off for the past
years. Whenever I use it as a face wash it leaves my skin feeling
squeaky clean and is very refreshing too. Occasionally I put it on as
a face mask which feels particulary nice in summer when my face is
super oily. The only downside to this product is that it can
sometimes leave my skin feeling a bit “tight” and it mustn't
get into the eyes because that really isn't a very pleasant
experience.
Garnier Pure Anti Shine Moisturiser
This is
definitely one of my favourite drugstore moisturisers as it works a
treat on both my oily areas and my dry patches. I'm very pleased that
it doesn't make my face break out in spots ( like so many other
moisturisers do) and that it keeps my face nice and shine free just as it promises. It also smells very nice and fresh like cucumber
which is always a winner with me and sinks in really quickly too.
Trilogy Certified Organic Rosehip Oil
One of my
favourites in winter to soothe the dry areas on my face. I won't say
too much about it though as I reviewed it here already so feel free
to have a look at this more in depth post.
Ebelin Express Nailpolish Remover
When these
type of nailpolish removers came out I thought them to be a bit
gimmicky and wasn't very interested at all. This month though I
finally caved and picked one up on a whim. Let me just say, I'm a
total convert now. It works really quickly and is super clean without
the need to waste loads and loads of cotton wool pads. Just make sure
you don't tip it too much and therefore spill half of it on the floor
(not that this would ever happen to ME ahem...)
P2 Lipstick in 006- friends forever
I really
liked wearing this nice pinky colour on my lips this month because it
is light enough for everyday wear and to get me used to wearing more
colour on my lips in general.
Although it
doesn't have the most amazing staying power I've ever seen I think it
is quite ok considering that it is on the more budget side.
Invisibobbles
The
Invisibobbles have been around for some time now but somehow never
really interested me all that much. That might be partly because they
were rather hard to come by (only online or in certain hairdressers)
and also because I thought them to be just another marketing thing.
I ended up
buying them at the beginning of the month when I discovered them in
my local drugstore and happened to have a voucher too so I thought
why not give them a try.
They promise
to avoid split ends and be absolutely traceless. (oh how I hate
getting that stubborn kink in my hair after wearing it in a
ponytail...)
A pack of
three costs 4,95 € and they come in loads of nice and bright
colours. I however opted for the see through option as I wanted them
to be as invisible as possible in my hair. The only issue with this
is that they are harder to find whenever I've misplaced them ha!
Since I
bought the Invisibobbles I haven't once reached for any of my other
hairbobbles. They hold my hair firmly in a high bun even on first day
,usually rather slippy, hair which is great in my book and I
definitely recommend them.
So there you
have it. Which products did you love in January?

Currently on my wishlist #3 | Autumn Edition
1. Riding Boots
I've been on the hunt for some nice leather riding boots for ages now but I find it incredibly difficult to find some that I like and that are at least halfway affordable. I very much like these Tory Burch ones but they are more on the pricey side and also hard to get hold of in Germany. But I will definitely keep an eye out for the perfect pair.
2. Longchamp Le Pliage Bag
Although everyone and their mother seem to own one of those these days I still want one because I like that it goes with so many different outfits and that it fits all my stuff.
3. Barbour Jacket
In my book Barbour Jackets are the epitome of autumn and I can see myself wearing one for a nice autumnal walk in the country as well as running errands in town. I like how they look somewhat "put together" and classic while being very functional aswell. (oh how I dislike getting wet)
One of these jackets will definitely end up in my wardrobe one day.
4. Checked Skirts
I don't know what it is but I love checked skirts (well checked everything really ;-)). Maybe that's because schooluniforms are very uncommon in Germany and I feel like I missed out on that.
(although I'm aware that people who were obliged to wear them don't share that feeling)
This season I will definitely invest in a skirt like the one above to wear with some thick black tights and boots. I can't wait!
5. Cable Knit Jumper
I'm a big lover of cable knit jumpers, particularly those with a crew neck. I already own a few but I still miss a nice bright red one in my collection.
6. Jo Malone Earl Grey & Cucumber Cologne
I love Jo Malone products and now have my eye on their Earl Grey & Cucumber Cologne which I heard and read loads of great things about. Next time I get the chance I will definitely give it a good sniff and probably buy it aswell ;-)
7. Joules Wellington Boots
How adorable are these wellies! I haven't owned a pair of wellies since I was a child but when I saw these I wanted them immediately. I love the fun print and I can picture myself wearing them on a nice walk (together with my Barbour jacket hehe). They are quite affordable too which is always a plus in my book.
What's on your wishlist this autumn?
