Hello you lovely lot! It's boxing day today so you're either engrossed in all your presents or busy with the Christmas sales.. however I wanted to take this (rather late) opportunity to wish you all a merry Christmas! I hope you all had an amazing couple of days with your family and friends eating loads and loads of good food and getting tipsy on all the Christmas cocktails.

Recently I missed my train home from uni by about 2
minutes which meant I had some time to kill at the station. Obviously I went
straight to the book shop but instead of leaving with a new book I bought the
most awesome scented candle ever!! (My mum would disagree with me on that - but
beauty is in the eye of the beholder right?)

When you are feeling a bit low or are battling a nasty cold there is nothing better than a warming soup to lift your spirits. As a little twist on the ever so famous chicken noodle soup I decided to share my favourite Asian inspired chicken soup with you today, just to spice things up a little.

For the first advent last Sunday I decided to finally do some Christmas baking and make my first batch of biscuits. I decided to follow a German recipe for Pfefferkuchen or Lebkuchen so I ventured out to get some biscuit cutters in the form of a gingerbread man and a Christmas tree and all the other ingredients I needed and got my bake on!

In the cold winter months there is nothing I enjoy more than getting up in the morning and starting my day with a nice warm bowl of porridge. It's the most comforting breakfast ever and it gives you all the energy you need to start your day right! Recently I changed my usual 'recipe' up a bit to what I like to call my winter porridge. Here's how I make it:

Okay so Bear's Den is
not exactly breaking news anymore I am aware of that. Actually I think if you
haven't heard of them before now you might just be living under a rock. Last
year I was listening to their song 'Agape' on repeat after it's been featured on
XFM's 'Great X-Pectations' list, where they feature up and coming artists that
they predict people will love in the year to come (and hopefully after that of
course..)

When I recently cleared out my make up collection I came across quite a few lip balms. I definitely own enough to last me for the next two years plus. So I thought I'd pick out my favourite ones and newest additions and share them with you today.

When I recently had a look through my mum's cookbook selection I came across a couple of books on wholefoods for toddlers that my mum bought back in the days when I was little. Intrigued to see what my mum's been cooking up for me back then I had a little flick through and found some cool recipes that I think don't only just work for toddlers and small children. One of these I'd like to share with you today! It's the 2-ingredients-cookie that I jazzed up a little with some extra tastiness!

When I saw Esteé from Essiebutton and Amelia aka Amelia Liana do this tag on Estée's Youtube channel I just new I had to get involved! I mean I LIVE FOR 'ME TIME'! Especially now in the cold winter months, there is nothing I like more than to spend a cosy evening on my couch in my most snuggly pyjamas. So now that we've established that I was predestined to do this tag, let's get into it:

One November night
Naomi Malcolm doesn't return home to her parents after a school theatre
performance in which she played the main role. Her parents start to worry, they
contact friends and finally the police. The search after the 15 year old
missing girl begins and it will tear the family apart.

I could start this post stating how shocked I am that it's November already, that October truly passed in the blink of an eye and that I have no idea where this year went, but what's new about that ey? So instead I'm gonna tell you how excited I am about it being November - like really REALLY excited - as I can now finally start to get all festive, count down the days til Christmas and annoy everyone with my yule soppiness, HOORAY :) So let's get into them goals shall we?

I've seen this tag go round on blogs and youtube channels before I even started blogging myself and I remember thinking that I would really like to do that tag as well, so even though it's nothing new and I haven't been tagged to do it, I still answered all the questions and would like to share them with you today.

Gosh I can't believe that this is actually the first little DIY I post on here! One DIY in eight months of blogging is a bit underwhelming really but I think as it's now autumn, my favourite!, and the festive season is drawing closer there will be a lot more crafty things on here! Today I wanted to show you the little things I made (and picked up) to make my room look cosy and autumnal and maybe a little halloween-y.

It's that
time of the year, where Starbucks brings back the pumpkin spice latte! I always
really enjoyed a cup of steaming hot pumpkin spice latte on my way home to keep
warm and because I have a massive sweet tooth. Recently however I read an
article about Starbuck's hot beverages and the kinds of ingredients they put in
there (without disclosing them!) which - to say the least - put me off their
flavoured coffees a bit. Basically it shouldn't even be news to me that a sweet
coffee from Starbucks isn't the healthiest option out there but only now did I
really think about it. However the craving for pumpkin spice latte was real, so
I had to do something about it! And that's why - with some googling and testing
things out - I found myself a recipe that's super quick and easy and at least
as delicious as the one from Starbucks (with the benefit of knowing all the
ingredients in my drink!)

It's time for yet another haul on this blog! It must seem like I never stop shopping seeing that there have been quite a few hauls and product reviews up recently! I promise however that this is not the case, I just recently been to Italy and when we went to Verona and I set eyes on a Sephora store (we don't have them where I live..) I just had to go in right? The thing with Sephora is that you don't just go in - NO - you go in, spend ages in there looking at absolutely everything, pick up a few things and spend quite a bit of money in the end. But you already knew that didn't you? I've been in town with my brother that day and he thought I'd never ever leave the shop again.. oooops. Anyway, enough of the rambling I just thought I'd show you what I got.

Hello you lovely lot! If you read my last London Diaries post you'll know that I went a bit wild at Twinings the other day. For all of you tea lovers out there I thought it'd be nice to share what I got and how I like it. I also got a pack of the much talked about Teapigs liquorice and peppermint tea, which I was dying to try ever since I heard Estée from Essiebutton talk about it in several of her vlogs. So I'm just gonna add this in here even though it's not from Twinings because I did pick it up on the same trip to London recently!

If you follow me on Instagram or Twitter you might already know that I spent the long October weekend in Italy with my family. We stayed in a cute little town in the Dolomites on the shores of Lake Garda and went exploring Italy from there. Three days and loads of pizza, pasta and gelato! I thought I'd share with you a few holiday snaps today.

I've heard a lot of people talk about Burberry's new fragrance release 'My Burberry' and have been wanting to give it a sniff ever since. So when a couple of days ago I went to Italy for a little weekend trip and stumbled across a Douglas shop in Verona I was right on it. I got a little tester thing and even though I liked it immediately decided that I would see how good it'll linger on my skin during the day and see whether I'd still like it a couple of hours later. I can only recommend doing this if you've got the time! So I left the shop and gave the fragrance a little trial period. A couple of hours later I could still smell 'My Burberry' on my skin and I still quite liked the scent of it so I obviously went back and bought it. I also felt like I made an incredible bargain as it was all of two euros cheaper than it would have been to buy it in Germany. Win win really :)

As you might know from previous posts if you're a loyal reader of this blog, I have been to London recently. The city I like to call my second home and hopefully future home as well! I fell in love with London when I moved there in 2009 and stayed for one and a half years, working as an au-pair for a lovely family in South West London.

Hello you lovely lot! It is autumn and that means harvest festivals and markets will pop up everywhere in Bavaria and I love having a wander around them and seeing all the yummy organic food and looking at all the nice little crafts stalls. It's such a nice way to spend the day with family and friends especially if it's the weekend after a busy week and you just want a relaxed, fun day out in the fresh air!

So it is October and I'm not quite sure how this happened! I remember very clearly the day I've been typing up my September goals post and that was basically only yesterday.. However I cannot even try to conceal the excitement I feel about it being October, finally properly autumn and Halloween not far away at all! So with the new month comes a couple of new goals as well as a review of how I did with last months' aims.

In light of the fact that next Monday will be the UK premiere of 'Love, Rosie', a cute little romcom featuring Lily Collins I thought it high time to declare my love for Lily Collins' style! She always looks so effortlessly fashionable whatever she's wearing and she's definitely got the sophisticated rock chick thing down!

So on Saturday it's finally time for me to go to London again for a little holiday with my best friend and I couldn't be more excited! I've been planning what we're gonna do and where we're gonna go for weeks now so it seems almost surreal that we're finally actually going! However much I love travelling and spending time abroad I really could do without the packing part of it. I'm always planning this far ahead so I won't forget anything but especially round this time of the year it's a bit of nightmare as you just don't really know what the weather is gonna throw at you and a careful warm-cold-clothing-balance must be found. However what I really enjoy doing is packing my hand luggage. As my friend and I will share a big suitcase, my hand luggage really only consists of a nice handbag with all my travel essentials thrown in there. So let's get started, here's what I'll take on the plane with me:

Hello
lovelies! It's time for another review on this little blog. I mentioned getting
the Nivea Clear-Up Strips in a Haul post back in August (you can check that out
here) and my lovely reader Yingster asked for a little review on them. So after
giving them a good testing I can now tell you what I thought about them.

Welcome to the second part of my Seasonal Synopsis series. Today is all about the food! I picked out 3 (actually 4..) easy to make but delicious autumnal recipes that I love to make during that time of the year, featuring a healthy salad, a warming soup and a lovely sweet treat. All of my recipes have one thing in common, they all work with pumpkins because nothing says autumn like a nice pumpkin dish!

Hello lovelies! Today is a tag kinda day, cause when I saw Beth from Alphabeth blog do this Harry Potter tag I knew I wanted to do it as well. I'm a huge Potter fan and read and reread all the books countless times so surely I had to do it. Plus, tag posts are always so much fun to do! So no more blabbing here's the questions:

Lately nothing much interesting has been going on in my life so I spent most of my time at home working on this little blog, doing some studying, some shopping and loads of cooking. But oh well, I think we all have them every once in a while, these underwhelming weeks so I thought why not share a few snippets of the past few days with you guys anyway.

I told you
in my August wish list post that I have been looking everywhere for this
lipstick but couldn't find it. Well, when I went to Munich recently I finally
found a store that had it in stock. Needless to say, MAC Lady Danger went home
with me immediately.

My last week was spent making the most of my holidays and exploring cities and places in my local area that I have never been to or have never seen. I also spent some time relaxing in thermal spas with my mum, going to an indoor pool with my friend and enjoying some Bavarian 'Gemütlichkeit' at my local beer fest. Yes it was a good week! Also I have had two amazing salads last week which I will try and recreate at home, went for a run with my brother and went to Munich yet again for a spot of shopping and a little tour of Nymphenburg castle. Here's a few photos of my trips for those of you who like picture heavy posts:

Hi guys! This last week has been a dreary one. Rainy cloudy days that feel more like October then August and make you wanna stay inside all day. On days like these I kind of always feel like baking and so I decided to make some super easy soda bread for a hearty family lunch. I came across this recipe on CIDER WITH ROSIE, a blog I absolutely adore! If you - like me - enjoy trying out new recipes and love a good lifestyle blog, you should definitely head over to Rosie's blog and subscribe, it's a good one! Anyways I thought I'd share with you how to make this super easy loaf of bread.

Even though it's only August - which I was hoping to spend by the lake sunbathing, sitting in the garden til late at night after a BBQ and wear shorts and dresses paired with sunglasses - summer seems to be a thing of the past already. For the past couple of days it's been chucking it down with rain and when I woke up this morning it was actually so cold I had to put on a jumper! Well then, see you next year summer! Now that my super summery plans for August don't really work out I had to find a couple of 'Rainy Day Pastimes' which I want to share with you today.

So this week I decided to take a little trip down to Munich because I haven't been for ages even though I quite like it there. We did a lot of walking downtown and through the English Garden as well as along the river Isar and I took quite a few snaps on this sunny day.

It's that time of the year, those amazing two months off uni that leave you with all the freedom to spend your time (almost entirely) however you want to. Therefore it's also the time where I actually find time to read without the constant nagging feeling that there are more pressing matters to attend to. I have thus compiled a list of all the books I want to read this summer (some of them have already began to collect a layer of dust on my shelves).

I'm quoting
Janis Joplin for the title of this little outfit post because what with the
semester being over and summer being in full swing I just thought it would fit.
Also I just love listening to her songs (imagine a campfire and somebody
playing a Joplin song on the guitar - bliss...)
Anyway, I
wanted to share with you a little summery outfit I wore to a garden party this
week.

So yesterday I decided to put the massive bucket of freshly picked cherries to good use and make a cherry crumble. Not only because never could we eat that many cherries straight from the bucket but also because I was really craving a sweet treat (and it got me away from studying which is always a good thing). I thought I'd share the recipe with you as it turned out really well if I say so myself. So here's what you'll need:

The weather really is super nice and summery hot at the moment so what better time to talk about my favourite tan enhancing nail polish shades. These make your skin look super healthy and summery and at the same time they're a real eye catcher.

Maybe you're on the look out for new channels to watch? Or maybe there are some Youtubers you particularly like that I haven't yet found out about, if so leave me a comment and tell me about them :) So let's get crackin' shall we?
