So, in the past few months I’ve been redecorating my room. I mean, I loved it before but now that I’m finished I just adore it even more. I think it’s 100 percent me and perfectly represents my personality and what I like.
.
While decorating it one thing became really important to me – plants. Especially succulent plants. I feel so deeply in love with them, I just couldn’t stop adding more and more to my room. And now my room looks like a little succulent garden house. I even made my own plant holders to put them on the wall – which I totally love too. And apart from that I bought two air plants, such creepy but cool looking creatures, even more now that I put them in their own little terrarium.
.
And as I’ve been such a big fan of my little plants and since I got them could keep all of them alive and healthy – which I’m extremely proud of – I thought I’d share some pics of this beauties with you. I hope you enjoy them.
.
Do any of you also own succulent plants or any other plants? I’d be really interested to hear your experiences. And until then I wish you all an amazing weekend and, as always, thanks for reading. x
Yesterday was mother`s day – at least in my country. A day to show love to the one person we all would never be here without. So today I’d like to do exactly that. I know I quite often talk about my mum and I know I already did a post like that a year ago but she will for sure read this and as long as this makes her smile, I reached my goal. Because she deserves it. And so much more.
.
Actually, I’ve always called my relationship with my mum a really special one. Even more when I talked to my friends and classmates about that and some told me that they basically don’t tell their mums anything, keep secrets and so on. For me that thought seems so crazy to me like somebody would tell me that pigs can fly. It’s just unimaginable. Just because my mum is literally my best friend. I think there’s nothing I’ve not told her. That may seem weird to some of you but I was never scared of telling her my thoughts and worries and dreams, because she never pushed me away or stopped me from doing that. I always felt like I could talk to her about everything and anything. And that she would always be there for me, no matter what. And that’s the truth, that’s how it always was and always will be – at least I hope so.
.
But apart from that I also think we have such a good bond because we are basically the same person. I always tell her that she could basically call me mini-me, because we are so alike. I influence her and so does she me. For example, we still go to concerts together and festivals and have a mother-daughter-trip every single year. But it’s not just that. Because I literally share everything with her, she slowly started to become interested in the things I told her about it. Today she’s willing to pay 100 euros to see Twenty One Pilots live or has her own pair of black Doc Martens. She knows all the YouTubers I watch, tags me in videos of Ed Sheeran every now and googles festival lineups to see if we could visit one. Isn’t that crazy? I always tell her that she’s literally the coolest mum ever. I mean, what mum does that? God, I’m so lucky.
.
So yeah, so much to why my mum acts and looks so much younger than she is and why that’s the best thing ever. But besides being such an amazing friend and cool mum, she just really is the best mum ever. And I’m not just saying that to sound cute or something. I mean, of course we argue, everyone does that, mostly because we are just so alike. So sometimes we both get really frustrated and angry at each other, but we always get back together. And then we are just as bonded as before. You know, we understand each other.
.
And she just makes me so happy. I know that I’m not an easy kid and that sometimes my dreams are a little bit ridiculous, but somehow she always manages to make them come true or at least come close to it. And that’s crazy. She always tells me that her biggest goal is to make me happy. And now comes the special part, because I want the same for her. A few days ago I was sitting in my flat in Vienna, I think it was about 1 o`clock in the morning. To give you some context, we text everyday so we say goodnight to each other every night. And that night she didn’t do that. And I got so worried that I just had to call her. And she would do the same. So we protect each other and I think that’s one of the most precious things on earth.
.
And she supports me in everything. She always told me that if I keep fighting for something, no matter how big and impossible it may sound, I can do anything. And that she will always believe in me and be proud. And that stuck to my head. I got a lot of confidence from that. I mean, she reads every single post I write on here. And I think she bought my book about four times or so. So yeah, what an amazing mum.
.
Overall I can only say that I’m basically the luckiest person on earth to be blessed with such an amazing mum who loves me unconditionally. I could go on and on like this forever but I think then it would get a little bit out of hand, so yeah. Basically my mum deserves the world and so much more and if I can ever achieve to be the same mum for my children as the one she is for me, I’ve reached the ultimate goal. So, again, happy mother’s day to the most amazing women in the universe and the best mum ever. I love you forever and infinitely. And also happy mother’s day to all the other awesome mothers out there. You’re incredible and we wouldn’t be here without you. So here’s to our mums. And, as always, thanks for reading. x
The future is a quite scary thing, isn’t it? The past few days and weeks I’ve actually been thinking about my future a lot. About my dreams and hopes. The plans I’ve been making for myself. And about what I want and don’t want.
.
I have to say, there are actually quite a lot questions marks floating above my head. Although I do have a plan. I mean, I love thinking about my future. Because I love dreaming and no dream has ever been to big for me, thanks to my mum who always told me that I could achieve anything. So here I am, dreaming of going to London after finishing my bachelor studies in two years to study fashion journalism. God, that’s such a big wish of mine. Live in my favorite city on this planet and get to study the coolest course ever. Holy moly.
.
But in the past few weeks, like I said, I have been thinking about that a lot. Whether I really want to study fashion journalism or just focus more on my love for music or somehow involve my love for photography. So it’s quite hard.
.
And on the other hand I always have to keep in my mind all the things and dreams and goals and wishes I’ve already fulfilled in my life. I wrote my own book, lived in Berlin and am now writing for a local magazine. So I am actually already a journalist. It all really blows my mind, it’s so crazy. And I’m so proud of that and thankful for everything.
.
As I had and still have to think a lot, I somehow managed to (maybe) find a good plan for myself. As I know it will be quite hard to get into the University of Arts and moreover live and study in London – thanks Brexit. And leave my family. But I will fight for it, more than ever before and try to stay strong. Because that’s my dream.
.
And I’ve also been thinking about starting an online course for interior design or photography this summer as I’ve always been in love with that subject and the creativity involved in it. I think courses like that are perfect for people who want to learn new things and study, but at their own pace and at home. It’s comfortable, but still perfect if you want to enhance your interests and learn more about them. Actually my mum is currently doing a course to be a vegan dietitian, which I think is super amazing. So there are two students at home right now.
.
To be honest, I have no idea what the future will bring or where it will take me. I just know what I’d really love to do. Maybe have my own magazine sometime or work for one the big kings in the business – Vogue I’m coming for you. Or maybe I’ll become one of the people who have the honor to write about festivals and interview the biggest stars. Who knows. All I can say is that I’m incredibly excited.
.
I know this post has pretty much been me rambling about stuff that’s floating around in my head but I thought maybe some of you are in the same position as me. I’ve always enjoyed discussing stuff like this with other people and hear their opinions, so please don’t hesitate to leave comments down below. And until then I really hope you enjoyed this post and are doing well. I wish you guys an amazing weekend. And, as always, thanks for reading. x
PS: We just passed 7000 clicks on this blog and are nearly at 1000 visitors and I couldn’t be any more thankful for that. I’m so damn happy. Thank you so much guys, you’re amazing.
First of all happy easter holidays everybody. I hope you’re all having amazing days off and could spent some wonderful time with your loved ones. I did, thankfully.
.
But this post won’t be dedicated to a bunny laying chocolate eggs in our gardens, but to a fantastic band I’ve already talked about pretty often. So I’m quite sure you’ll all know it by now. But to bring an end to all your questions, I’m talking about my beloved band Fall Out Boy.
.
For me, FOB is a band that will always have a place in my heart and some space on my sd-card, just because I love their music so much. The first time I got to know this band was actually in 2013, when I went to the cinema to watch “Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters”. The movie starts of with some sort of turnier scene, while FOBs song “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” is playing in the background. The movie was amazing, but somehow it was the song that kept stuck in my head, I just couldn’t forget about it. And so I googled and googled and googled some more until I finally found it. And that’s where my love for FOB has its beginning. Since then the band and their music has been following me throughout the days. And I don’t mind it at all.
.
If I had to name my favorite song of them, I’d probably start with one song and then just name every single one of them. And that’s the special thing about the band, I just really love everything they do.
.
But in the past few weeks one album of theirs has stuck out of the crowd – Folie à deux. The title literally transaltes to “shared madness”, which is, at least for me, a quite funny aspect of the album. The LP itself is quite old, published in December 2008, but still as awesome as before. Maybe some of you have already given it a listen or love it just as much as me. Or maybe some of you don’t know the album or the band at all. In any cases, I can just highly recommend you listening to it if you’re a fan of indie/punk rock.
.
Personally, I have three total favorites of the album:
Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes
What a Catch, Donnie
20 Dollar Nose Bleed
.
Disloyal Order Of Water Buffaloes actually had me having a little throwback the first time I heard the studio version, because that was the exact song I couldn’t recognize at the FOB gig at Reading festival. And I’ve been totally in love with it since then. I actually found the Reading live version on YouTube, so enjoy…
.
And let’s be honest, What a Catch, Donnie is a pure masterpiece. It’s a song where you can clearly hear the huge talent of the band and Patrick, the lead singer. His vocals are breathtaking, seriously.
.
And last but not least, 20 Dollar Nose Bleed. You all know how big of a fan I am of Panic! at the disco and just to my luck, Brendon is actually featured in this song. That makes it even more perfect than what it already is. And another fun fact, Brendon also has a small appearance in the video for What a Catch (tell me if you could spy him).
.
So yeah, those are my three favorites of the album, please enjoy. And please don’t hesitate to tell me your opinion on the album, I’m really curious. It’s quite sad, because I don’t really often meet someone who’s a fan of FOB too, so I’d be superhappy to be able to talk to some of you guys out there.
.
And as always, I hope you enjoyed this post and are all doing well and had an amazing weekend. And thanks for reading. x
You know I love photography. And I love it the most when I get to travel to different places and experience all of its beauty through the lens of my camera. Somehow it just increases its beauty for me. And like I said in my previous post, today I’d very much like to show you all the nicest pictures I took while enjoying my time in Croatia on a short holiday trip.
.
Overall I loved every single second of my trip. It has seriously been a while since I last saw the sea and enjoying a little time at the beach for a few days really calmed me down again. I was able to forget all of my duties and everything about uni. There was just happiness and fun and I loved it. I’m really thankful I got to be on the trip.
.
But now let’s get to the most important part – the pictures. I really hope you enjoy them as much as I do. I know they are quite a lot, but I just couldn’t decide to take less. And please don’t hesitate to tell me your opinions. I wish you all an amazing weekend and happy easter holidays. And, as always, thanks for reading. x
How are you doing? I just wanted to give you guys a little update on what’s happening right now. I’m actually currently in Croatia on a short holiday trip. You know, enjoying the sun and the sea and the salt in the air. Enjoying life, basically.
.
The most amazing aspect is probably the fact that this is literally one of the most nicest places ever to take pictures. And you know how much I love photopraphy – I’d marry my camera if I could. And due to that I’m currently trying to find the best pics to present them to you in my next post. I hope you like them just as much as I do.
.
Yesterday we went for a little walk after dinner and luckily catched the exact moment just when the sun was setting. And I thought before leaving you guys just with a plain text, I’d post some of the pictures I took then. Please enjoy. Oh and please stay tuned for Friday, can’t wait to show you all the photos. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and that you’re having an amazing week and all doing well. And as always, thanks for reading. x
