Berlin – Black and White

Hola everyone.

So I know, this is usually the moment I do my little update about my life in Berlin, but actually there is nothing much to say.

.
Basically I’m just adjusting to the city and the life here, getting used to it, doing stuff, seeing things and enjoying it as much as I can. And a part of that is walking around with my camera. Unfortunately winter is coming which means the sun is already saying goodbye when I’m just getting out of bed on weekends. So yeah, pretty stupid. And yes, I really sleep that long and yes, I love it.

.
But I thought, how could I take nice pics without bothering what time it is. And then I remembered how fascinating black and white pics are and I just made a whole project out of it – my view of Berlin at night in black and white (that rhymed).

.

So, down there you can find all of my fave pics I took – of course there are more – and I really really hope you like them as much as I do. I had a lot of fun taking them.

.
And as usual, if any of you want to talk, I’m here. And until then I hope you enjoyed this post and my pics and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Autumn is here

Hola everyone.

Today was one of this beautiful autumn days – the sun was shining the whole day, but it was still cold as hell. And of course I had to make the most of it and went for a little stroll in my garden together with Peaches and my camera, right when the sun was setting. And the day and our garden actually gifted me with one of the nicest settings ever. But I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. Enjoy. Also check out Peaches. She’s such a model.

Oh and of course, as always, I hope you enjoyed this post and my pictures and thanks for reading. x

Me-time and de-stressing

Hola everyone.

Today I want to talk about something that should be important for everybody and that really means a lot to me, actually. And yes, you guessed it – I’m talking about ways I de-stress and relax and calm myself down. Actually, Zoella again inspired me to do this post. I wanted to write this one for weeks now, but watching her lastest video (link) really pushed me to finally do it. So, here we go.

.

Nowadays, I think it’s honestly really hard to completely switch off and de-stress, mostly because being online and just basically on surrounds and follows us the whole day and, for most of us, night too. I mean, I know, smartphones and tv shows and movies and the social media are all gifts from heaven, but sometimes, especially smartphones, have nothing than a bad impact on us. Personally, I try to not have my phone next to me the whole day, for example I turn it off at night and keep it in another room. I actually can’t sleep if my phone is in the same room when I go to sleep. And sometimes I even have a day off from my phone. I just don’t turn it on at all and I have to say, it really relaxes me a lot. And yes, you seriously have more time for other things if you don’t waste it being online all the time and reading a Facebook feed for the third time.

.

Oh and of course, today, stress is something normal for most of us. There’s always something to do and I think that for some people, it’s really difficult to separate themselves from all the do-do-lists and work and stress, which is also a reason I wanted to write this post. So, let’s get to the most important part, which is my ways of de-stressing and winding down and getting some me-time.

.

  • Taking a bath
    • This is actually one of the most important things for me if I want to relax, because I can literally wash all of the stress of the day off and clean my mind. And also, who doesn’t love soaking a little bit and lying in some nice warm water before going to bed. It really gets you in that chilly and sleepy mood.

.

  • Going for a walk with Molly or going for a short run
    • I think that any physical activity can help you de-stress and clean your mind. I especially love going for a run when I’m angry or when I have the feeling that I’ll explode any time. And getting some fresh air at all just really gets me down.

.

  • Taking some photographs
    • You know how much my camera means to me and since I got it, taking pictures became a really important part of my life and one of my biggest and most important and intense hobbies. And I noticed how walking around with my camera and taking some nice pictures really calms me down, because I fully concentrate one this one thing and everything else just fades away.

.

  • Cuddling with Peaches
    • I think that pets are really important if you want to live a happy life. Especially when it comes to me and Peaches, we really have a special bond and basically stick together all the time. The past week my day started with a huge cuddle session with Peaches and actually there aren’t a lot of things that relax me as much as holding Peaches in ma arms and hearing her purr.

.

  • Cooking or baking something
    • Food. What else gets you relaxed if food doesn’t? I don’t really know how it happened but through time cooking and baking became a really important hobby of mine and I just love it. Taking raw products and turning them into something delicious. I especially love meals that just get you into this cozy and warm mood, like pasta, stew or a nice soup. And eating all that good stuff afterwards is just the most amazing part, let’s be honest.

.

  • Watching a good movie or tv series
    • Movies and tv series just really mean a lot to me, you know that. But I think when I want to forget about my problems or all of the stress, watching a nice movie or a good tv series really gets me down and makes me forget about everything else. Except when I have to really finish college stuff or study for an exam, then watching a movie just makes everything worse. Because I won’t feel any better before I don’t finish it all.

.

  • Reading a book or listening to music
    • I think that especially listening to music and doing nothing while doing that and reading a good book really helps me relax and wind down before going to bed. Both, books and music really do mean a lot to me and help me de-stress is just a really nice bonus.

.

  • Talking to my friends or family
    • To be honest, talking to someone about all the things that stress me out and make me nervous, really helps me a lot. Or even talking to you guys about it really helps me. Because it gets all the stuff off of my mind and that’s just amazing.

.

  • Sleeping
    • Actually, there’s nothing to add to this. Just sleep. That’s pretty much the best way to relax. So please, try to get a good sleep every night, it really helps.

.

So guys, there you go. Those are my ways of relaxing and winding down and getting some me-time. I hope I could help you guys with some of my tips and also, maybe some of you do the same to relax, which is awesome. Oh and if any of you want to talk to me about de-stressing or anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post and, as always, thanks for reading. x

My special friend

Hola everyone.

I’m baaaaack. And as promised, today I’d like to tell you a really special story about a really special friend of mine. You know, today, it’s possible to have friends all around the world. And lucky me, I have my own. Her name is Mati.

.

I met Mati three years ago, she was actually the one who started something that should become a close and special and amazing friendship. Actually, it was the Belieber connection that brought us together. Because she texted me about the JB concert over on Twitter, which we surprisingly both had visited. She asked me if I had taken some pics and would like to exchange some. We started chatting, soon exchanged phone numbers and here we are, three years later, still going strong and texting everyday (thanks to WhatsApp).

.

I often thought how could it would be to have a friend in another country. Because it seemed so extraordinary and special to me. And now I have Mati. The first time we met in person was one year after our first chat and it was seriously one of the best moments in my life. To finally see her live, be able to hug her, talk to her and show her my hometown and introduce her to my friends and my family. And I have to say, it was was just wonderful.

.

Since then she visited me another time and as you guys know, last weekend I visited her in Croatia for the first time. I was sooooo excited and it was so freaking awesome. I felt like I was on a holiday trip, for real. Mostly because everyone was so chilled and nice and they all welcomed me so nicely. And I mean, it’s for sure not normal. I felt like I was one of her family members and I’m so thankful for that.

Honestly, I can’t describe how happy I am that I have Mati in my life and I really hope that we’ll be one of the cool grannies who chat all the time and laugh about stupid things when we’re old and grey. I think that it’s amazing how social networks bring us all closer together. Sometimes people think that it’s weird when I tell them about having a friend in another country, but I don’t care at all, to be honest. And I’m pretty sure that most of you guys have already met a lot of people on the internet, so yey to having friends all over the world.

.

So, there you go. This is my special story about a special friendship. If any of you guys want to talk about friendships or anything else, I’m here. And until then, I hope you enjoyed this post, and, as always, thanks for reading. x

Oh and here are some pics I took on my trip with Mati. Enjoy.
