Baby, it´s cold outside ft. Romwe

When it´s cold outside, there´s nothing I like more than a cosy jumper or a bit of faux fur. Faux Fur is the best to add some glamour to an outfit and to keep you warm at the same time. I love this jacket because it combines my two favourite colours black and pink :D And at this incredible price it is such a great bargain, that also makes an amazing christmas present for your loved ones!

Travels: Why you should go all inclusive! ft. Holiday Gems

As much as I love self-planned Trips, there's nothing more relaxing than an All Inclusive holiday - and trust me, I've been on quite a few. One of the major advantages for bargain hunters is that you can actually safe some money.

At first glance, booking a flight and a hotel sounds quite cheap compared to an all-inclusive package. Well think again! There's quite a few other expenses you'll probably ignore until the day you fly. The money usually adds up quickly, you need to pay for transport to the hotel (which can be challenging if you don't travel to a big city) and you'll probably be quite hungry, thirsty and tired. Maybe you settle for the next best restaurant, which probably charges you high tourist prices. And there goes your budget. In the end you pay more for food, drinks, shopping and transport than you paid for the actual trip. 

When you book an all inclusive holiday, you're trip is sorted. You pay a bigger amount in first place but then there's no more worries and no more saving up. In comparison you actually do pay less. Especially because the travel agents usually get better hotel deals than you do.

Another big plus is thats all inclusive deals are  so much more relaxing. That's why I usually go for them when I am looking for a quite time by the beach. I don't want to worry about anything. When you finally hop of the plane in paradise, you get picked up. You're not struggeling with suitcases and you won't get ripped off by taxi drivers. As soon as you arrive in the hotel, you can get yourself some food and drinks. Most places offer buffets throughout the day and you never have to go hungry. (If you have a boyfriend who eats a whole lot, you'll know how much trouble this safes you  There's nearly nothing else you need to worry about besides maybe which restaurant to choose and if you want to book a massage or a beauty treatment. 

Maybe your only con would be that it sounds quite boring. But in the end you choose how exciting your holiday is. This year for example, we rented a car and gave our trip a more personal touch, with all the all-inclusive benefits.

Matilda and June ft.Christoph Metzelder Charity Collection

Mathilda and June von susan-dollparts auf Polyvore

Vor einiger Zeit hatte ich schon mal einen Post geschrieben über die Charity Aktion von Matilda and June, in Kollaboration mit der Christoph Metzelder Stiftung - Eine wohltätige Organisation gegründet von dem gleichnamigen Fußballspieler, die es sich zum Ziel gemacht hat Jugendliche und Kinder aus sozialen Brennpunkten auf ihrem Lebenweg zu fördern und zu unterstützen. Damals haben die Kids im Team Shirts kreiert mit Eiscreme Waffeln und allem wovon sie sonst noch so träumten → Zum Post

Auch 2017 haben sich das hippe Fashion Label und die Organisation zusammengetan um Gutes zu tun! Dieses Mal haben die Kinder Patches bekommen und konnten sie selbstständig auf einem Pulli ihrer Wahl anordnen. Was dabei raus gekommen ist, könnt ihr jetzt im Online Store von Matilda and June bestaunen. Das Beste an den stylischen Teilen: Der GESAMTE Erlös geht an die Stiftung! Also wenn ihr mich fragt, sind die Pullis das perfekte Weihnachtsgeschenk. Ihr beschert nicht nur eurer Schwester oder eurer besten Freundin eine schöne Überraschung, sondern bringt auch noch Kinderaugen zum strahlen!

Cosy knit and jazzy jumpers @ Romwe

Knit Love by susan-dollparts featuring a v neck sweater

Winter is coming and my wardrobe is not ready yet. To me, it is the most difficult season if it comes to the perfect clothing. But luckily my prayers have been heard by the fashion gods and warm does not mean ugly anymore. This winter brings back new shapes in knitwear and jazzy jumpers, embellished with everything from pearls to frills. On my search for affordable winter clothing and cosy sweaters, I browsed Romwe and came across some super stylish stuff! As you can probably tell, I´m absolutely addicted to pastel colours this year. In case you are also still looking for some it-pieces to improve your winter wardrobe, check out some of my favourites down below! (Good news is that most of them are on sale!)

Mein Saal Digital Fotobuch

 

Back in the days, when we still had analog cameras, we would stick them in pretty books (or throw them in a drawer) We then forgot about them for a couple of years. Think about the excitement when you finally rediscover all These gems straight from your childhood! Well, nowadays most people use digital cameras and upload their photos on Facebook, Instagram or i don´t even know how many possibilities there are. But do you ever wonder if you can actually preserve them online? Do I Need to Show my old facebook account to my children? Then if you print them at your local drugstore, they start fading after about a year. Recently I have tried Saal Digital to create a beautiful book from my holiday photos from my last trip to Greece. You simply download the softwa, choose your design, drag an drop, press order and voila! Your photobook is on the way! I gave mine to my mother as a present and she almost cried because she loved it so so much!

Früher, als wir noch Analogkameras benutzten, klebten wir sie einfach in Fotoalben (oder verstauten sie sicher in irgendeiner Schublade.) Nach ein paar Jahren, konnte man sie wieder rauskramen und sich an seinen Kindheitserinnerungen erfreuen. Heutzutage benutzen wir Digitalkameras und laden die Bilder auf Facebook, Instagram, oder was es sonst noch so gibt hoch. Manchmal frag ich mich allerdings was denn später mal passiert mit meinen Bildern. Zeig ich meinen Kindern dann mal meinen alten Facebook Account? Natürlich kann ich meine Fotos auch einfach im nächsten Drogerie Markt ausdrucken - nur leider verblassen sie oft schon nach zwei Jahren. Neulich habe ich als Alternative Saal Digital ausprobiert und mir mein eigenes Fotobuch drucken gelassen. Dazu muss man die Software downloaden, Preis und Format wählen, die Bilder auf die Albumfläche ziehen, auf bestellen drücken und schon hat mein sein eigenes, qualitativ hochwertiges Fotobuch! Meines  besteht aus Urlaubsfotos von meinem letzten Griechenland Aufenthalt und war ein Geschenk an meine Mama. Ich glaube so sehr hat sie sich noch nie über ein Geschenk gefreut. Jetzt wo Weihnachten in Sicht ist, bleibt es auch sicher nicht das Einzige.

Dream Matcha / Focus Supplements

Matcha is a green Japanese powder consisting of the Tencha tree tea leaves. About four weeks before harvesting, the Matcha trees need to be kept in the shade to get their dark green colour. So as you can imagine, Matcha is quite a posh, delicate type of tea. The ritual of preparing it is very spiritual and almost religious, but lately also a lot of cool kids and health freaks have discovered it:

The Matcha powder boosts your energy, increases your metabolism and contains antioxidants, which are great for your skin! If you are on a diet, Matcha Green Tea can definitely be a great addition to reach your goal. You can drink it as a tee or maybe add a spoon to your smoothie or even foods and desserts. Matcha tea is usually quite expensive, but at focussupplements you get a bag which contains enough powder for 30 servings, for only 11 Pound at the Moment!!! (get it here)

How do you make a Matcha tea?

Basically you add about one and a half teaspoon (or more) to a bit of water and stir it until it resolves. Then add more hot water and stir fast or use a whisk to get rid of little bits of powder. (It does taste great with them as well though ;)

Another good idea is using it for Smoothie Bowls! I make mine with yogurt, almond milk, berries, acai, kiwi and some Matcha!*

How do you like yours?!

A day in: Düsseldorf

Orochata / Licor 43

About a month ago, Licor 43 invited me to a beautiful Spanish evening full of flamenco, tapas and drinks at Zimmer No 1 in Düsseldorf. I don´t think an evening could be any more on point. On top of that we got to try their delicious new  drink “Orochata” - a white milky drink with a slightly nutty taste and the licor sweetness. I usually tend to drink licor with milk but sometimes it can be a bit too much because milk can make me feel ill and I try to use as little dairy as possible. To me it´s important to buy eggs and milk from local farms and sometimes it´s simply not possible. Luckily Orochata, which is a twist on the Spanish drink Horchata, is made of a special nut milk and therefore vegan. It´s a perfect refreshing vegan summer drink that takes you straight to Spain but with the slight cinnamon flavour I can also imagine drinking it in front of the fireplace while wearing a cozy knit jumper!
