Happy Mother’s Day

Hola everyone.

As you probably all know, yesterday we passed another Mother’s Day. And at least for me, that day is the perfect moment to thank my mum for everything she does and for the mother she is.

.

And I thought, why not tell you guys a little bit more about the most amazing woman I know? I know, we all say that about our mums and I think that’s exactly the way it should be. But I know that I’ll never get to meet a woman who can beat my mum went it comes to awesomeness.

.

So, as you can probably guess by now, my mum and I have a pretty good relationship. That means, that she’s not simply my mum, she’s also my best friend. Mostly because I can tell her everything, I can talk to her about everything, she’s always there for me and she can like turn off the “I’m being a mother”-system and just be a friend. Besides that we do a lot of things together, we travel every year, just me and her, we go to concerts and to festivals and go on adventures. And it’s always a huuuuuuge amount of fun. And I’m just able to collect a lot of good and exciting memories that make me smile every time I think back to those special trips and moments.

.

Apart from that I’m like the younger version of my mum. Seriously. She could call me “Mini-Me” any time. And it would be true. I think that’s because we are this close and I just kind of pulled her into my world and she did the same to me. That’s the reason why the protection of animals and food and nutrition for example are important parts in my life. And vice versa clothing and styles and trends and popular bands are topics that my mum is interested in. We influence each other. And it makes me very very happy.

.

So yeah, that’s my mum. Sometimes we argue, but that never lasts long. And one second later we are best friends again and function like one whole being. I know that I’m getting older and the day will come when I have to move out and go my own way without going home again after a few days. But I know that we will work everything out. Because we just fit each other perfectly and because we always worked everything out.

.

I’m just really really proud that my mother is such a great and amazing person and a role model for me. My goal is to be the mother to my children when I’m older that my mum is to me now. Because she raised me and I think she did a pretty good job.

.

At the end I really just want to thank her. For everything she does. For all the dreams and wishes she fulfills for me. For all the things she supports me in and helps me with. For the best friend she is to me. And for the mum and women she is. I would never change anything. And I will always be thankful and always love her. Until my last day.

I hope you enjoyed this post. I again want to thank my mum and all the mothers on earth who work their asses off everyday. You are amazing. Thank you. And thank you guys for reading. Happy late Mother’s Day. x

 

My favorite songs right now

Hola everyone.

As you all know, music means the world to me – I know, I repeat myself. But I could talk about music every single day, I just love it that much.

.

Anyway, due to my music obsession, the fact that Indie music is getting more and more popular (thank god, finally) and due to my mum and me flying over to England to visit this years Reading festival (hopefully), I found a lot of new bands. And new bands mean new songs and new songs mean new obsessions. So I thought, why not show you my favorite songs right now? Some are from bands I know since like 2 months, others are from bands I’ve worshipped for years already. Oh, and all the links to the songs are right in the text. Enjoy.

.

  • Panic! At The Disco – I Write Sins Not Tragedies

(always loved that song and now that I’ve just bought tickets to their concert, I love it even more – youtube.com)

  • Nothing But Thieves – Ban All The Music

(one of my new faves, the lead singer is freaking amazing; a song that really gets you hyped – youtube.com)

  • Twenty One Pilots – Holding On To You

(I always see Tyler sitting at his piano and the crowd singing the lyrics when I listen to that song, sometimes one or two tears even start building up, but just because it makes me so happy, that I saw them – youtube.com)

  • The Wombats – Techno Fan

(loved the song since I found out about them a few months ago, which I also blogged about (link); the song defines what a typical english indie song should sound like for me – youtube.com)

  • Conor Maynard – One Dance (cover)

(what should I say? It’s Conor, it just can’t be anything but perfect; the coolest aspect is that he produced it all by himself, it’s literally all him, so amazing – youtube.com)

  • DMA’s – So We Know

(I actually heard their music in my favorite café and then googled them; the funny thing is that they will also be at Reading festival, that’s what I call fate; also, their songs are amazing, they sound like an old school English band, but they’re actually from Australia – youtube.com)

  • DNCE – Cake By The Ocean

(they video is completely crazy but the song has something really special that gets me in such a good mood from the first second on – youtube.com)

  • The 1975 – Settle Down

(I’m in love with the song since I noticed that the date of their concert was getting closer and closer, but unfortunately they didn’t play it, but it doesn’t matter; the concert was breathtaking and all of their songs are too – youtube.com)

.

There you go. These are my favorite songs right now, which means that I listen to them 24/7, basically. So, yeah, I really love them. And I think it’s fascinating how favorites can change from week to week or even just day to day. It’s so cool. And I love how everyone on this planet has a different taste in music, it’s so interesting. But if any of you have the same taste in music as me or even the same favorites, I would be really happy to talk to you. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and as always, thanks for reading. x

#TeamIronMan

Hola everyone.

The wait is over. FINALLY. I hope some of you guys already know what I’m talking about looking at the title of this post, but I will tell you all anyway.

.

The new Captain America movie has finally been released and as the HUGE Marvel fan I am, I already went out to see it as soon as I could. And oh my god, let me tell you, that movie is literally so damn amazing, that I have no words.

.

First of all, I think I should explain my love for Marvel. It all started with Iron Man, that’s why I am and always will be Team Iron Man, forever and always. So, he is literally the reason I got into this whole Marvel Cinematic Universe thing and got pretty much obsessed with it. Completely. I have literally seen every single movie since Iron Man came out (except Ant-Man, but I will see that one in two weeks, so don’t judge). And I just fell in love with the movies more and more and more and more. I couldn’t get enough and I can’t either now. I think I never will.

.

Anyway, that’s the reason I was looking forward to seeing Captain America: Civil War since I got out of the cinema after watching The Avengers 2. And I can tell you, that’s a looooong time for a Marvel fangirl like me. So I just waited. And time passed and the release day came. And I went crazy. Completely.

.

I think I have never been THAT excited for a movie before. It was like I was waiting for a concert to start. I just wanted to get into that seat and start the movie. I think I also felt like this because of the story:

Soooo, the movie starts right after the incidents of The Avengers 2, with the whole Sokovia and Ultron thing. You can probably tell that a lot of people were killed or hurt in that battle and the government can’t let that happen another time. They want to monitor and in some way control our beloved heroes. And that’s when the team breaks apart. On the one side we have Captain America with his supporters, who state that they can’t just look away when something bad happens until the government allows them to do something about it. On the other side we have my fave Iron Man with his team, who understand what the government wants and also want to prevent any actions by the Avengers that could hurt any more people. Unfortunately it doesn’t seem like they can find a way to get together, so the epic battle begins and noone really knows who is going to win.

.

Seriously, how cool is that? When I first saw the trailer, I was speechless (oh, here’s the link if you haven’t seen it: youtube.com). Mostly because I was so scared for Tony. I don’t know what I would do if something happens to him. And of course, because of all of the new characters. Black Panther? Ant-Man? SPIDERMAN????? Epiiiiiiic (I know, I’m overly fangirling right now).

.

So, you can see why I was so excited. But let’s get to the most important part – the movie, of course. IT WAS BREATHTAKING. Like, it’s just a huge emotional rollercoaster. At one moment you seriously can’t handle all the epicness, at another one you feel tears streaming down your face, but then something funny happens and you just have to laugh and then it gets serious again and oh my god, it’s just so exciting and thrilling and amazing. Apart from all the amazing and exciting and supercool action sequences, there’s also a really emotional and totally unexpected story hidden that just makes the movie even better, but I won’t spoil anything, of course. But seriously, if any of you get the slightest chance to watch this movie, please do it, for your own sake. You won’t regret it, I swear (unless you don’t like superheroes or epic movies or haven’t seen any of the movies before, because then you will literally have no idea of what is going on).

.

I seriously can’t wait for all the other movies Marvel has planned and now that phase 3 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe has started with this huge epic movie, I’m more than excited for what’s to come. If any of you are as much in love with Marvel as me, I would literally love to talk to you. And please, let me know which team you are – Team Cap or Team Iron Man? I’m really curious. And until then, I can just tell you to please go and watch that movie and hope that you enjoyed this post and getting to know my crazy nerdy fangirl side. And as always, thanks for reading. x    #TeamIronMan

.

Ps: I just bought this little Funko Pop Iron Man figure and I just can’t handle its cuteness. Look how cute. I can’t wait to receive it and put in on my desk.

What uni taught me (so far)

Hola everyone.

As you all probably all know, I’m currently in my second semester of university – I study journalism and communication studies. I know, two semesters aren’t that much, but they’re enough to show me what the university life is like. And university already taught me some things. So I thought why not share this special lesson with you. Let’s go.

.

  • most of the teachers couldn’t care less about your attendance
  • you will have to study A LOT more
  • don’t start revising two days before the exam, bad idea, seriously
  • every exam will probably seem like finals
  • there are many nice people walking around on this beautiful planet
  • someday you just won’t feel like going to a lecture, that’s okay (still go most of the time though, please)
  • you will meet a lot of new, interesting people and become friends with some of them
  • this is the perfect time to LIVE
  • being late is better than not going at all
  • also, there a lot of really strange people walking around on this kinda weird planet
  • water and food are essential (for some, coffee too)
  • sleep is a precious good
  • anthropology students just love asking questions and discussing things
  • exam week means hell week
  • you’ll notice that there are actually man people out there who think the same way as you
  • sometimes the teachers lie about what is important and what isn’t
  • deadlines are serious, selfish, strict and just cold-hearted
  • the more semesters, the harder it gets
  • do your homework guys
  • appreciate the time, party, meet friends, stay as happy as you can and enjoy the ride

.

There it is. My lesson that university taught me so far. I have today, I always dreamed about going to college and imagined it being like in the american movies. But it’s not really like that, at least not here. But that’s okay, because I still love it and loved it from the first second on. At the beginning it was a little bit weird and hard, I was lonely, didn’t have friends, that I saw and talked to every day, but it got better. Today I look forward to the lectures, to seeing my friends, to visit my favorite café or go shopping between lectures, when I have time. You could say that I’ve finally settled and more than happy about that. I think this time is really important, it’s the phase between being a teenager and an adult, so perch for making as many experiences and fulfilling as many dreams as possible.  The time is now, we just have to use it.

.

I hope you enjoyed this post and if any of you go to university too and want to chat, I’m here. And until then, as always, thanks for reading. x

My traveling obsession

Hola everyone.

I’m in love with traveling. Okay, I’m completely obsessed with it. If I could, I would travel to another city every week, seriously. And thanks to my parents I can fulfill that obsession at some degree. And that degree stands for traveling to a different country at least 5 times a year. Really. And yeah, I know. I’m lucky. Really really REALLY lucky that I don’t even know how to thank my parents enough.

.

Sooo, as we travel so much every year, I thought why not do that one thing I totally love. Exactly, make a list. And of course I keep a list for all the countries I’ve been to, so why not just post this list here? Here we go.

.

  • USA (of course; New York is a must)
  • United Kingdom (if I could chose to live in a city, it would be London, seriously)
  • Ireland (I love Dublin, although the rain kind of ruined the school trip)
  • Germany (Berlin is seriously one of the hippest cities ever)
  • Switzerland (my mum and me stayed there for a few hours at the airport on our way to London; still enjoyed it though, the language is just too funny)
  • Thailand (I think the favorite place to travel to for my parents, especially my mum; although I’m not a fan of wellness holidays, I can’t deny that I love it)
  • Turkey (I can’t tell you how many times we’ve already been there… too many)
  • Spain (I love Barcelona, it’s like London, but only the warm, southern version)
  • Italy (you already know everything about Milan and Italian food is the best, so what can I say? I just love it)
  • Slovakia (one of those countries we travel to for a few days when we want to chill)
  • Egypt (it’s like Turkey)
  • Croatia (a really beautiful country and perfect for a chill-out weekend trip)
  • Slovenia (I think we drove there for a wedding, I’m not sure though)
  • Tunisia (it was one of the first holidays of my life, so I can’t really remember how it was; I’m sure it was beautiful)
  • Russia (again another short stay at the airport; still pretty cool)
  • Czech Republic (I’m not sure why we went there, seriously no idea, sorry)
  • Cyprus (a really cool country and the reason I found Conor because I got to watch MTV for the first time, so thanks Cyprus)
  • France (the country has Disneyland, there’s nothing else to say, it just wins)
  • United Arab Emirates (we’ve been to both Abu Dhabi and Dubai and I have to say that Dubai is slightly cooler because it has three big shopping malls and every single one has a Forever 21, so there’s no other end than Dubai winning)

 
So, as you can see, traveling is a huge aspect of my life and I couldn’t be happier about it. Seriously. I just love seeing other places, stepping out of the plane in a completely different country and meeting different people and cultures. It’s just so fascinating. And I’m glad that my parents have the same opinion as me. More than glad, actually.

.

Oh and if you want to know, this year my parents or me or all together are planning on traveling to England, Portugal and Copenhangen. And that’s just the plan until August, so noone really knows what will happen after that (probably another trip… or two…).

.

So yeah, that’s my (and my parents) traveling obsession. And I love it. Completely. If any of you travel as much as me or love it as much as me and want to talk about that or anything else, I’m here. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Welcome Spring

Hola everyone.

Spring is cooooming. FINALLY. And as you can probably guess by now, I thought why not dedicate a post to this beautiful season. So I literally just stepped out into our garden at home and started taking pictures. It was amazing. To see how all the nature around me starts to become alive again and all the bees and other animals come out again and it just makes everything so much nicer when the whole world is so colorful and full of life.

.

Of course, Peaches and Molly assisted me with the whole photography process, especially Peaches, who followed me literally everywhere (I love her so much for that). So yeah, I hope you like the pictures and are as happy as me about the fact that spring is finally here. If any of you want to talk, I’m here, and until then, as always, thanks for reading. x
