DRAW - SKETCH - DOODLE

Some ideas for when you have no ideas:

• draw with your left hand (if you're right handed ovz) - it's a good exercise to connect to the two sides of the brain and will therefore make you automatically more inspired, more creative and more open minded
• draw with both hands at the same time - can give you really cool pictures, and again connects the sides of the brain
• draw a picture never lifting the pen from the paper
• draw maps from memory or technological objects

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY "LITTLE" BROTHER PAUL!

December 13th

LISTEN TO YOUR INSTINCTIVE DESIRES

Example: You wanna buy something, let's say a candy because it's got really pretty wrapping, but you know it won't taste amazing. What do you do?

A) you don't buy it

B) you don't buy it and calm down the angerfit of your inner child

C) you buy it and eat it (blurgh)

D) you buy it, hang it up as decoration in your kitchen, play with it, use it to make cute presents

Ok there is not so much point in this, sorry. What I tried to express was basically the same old boring "be creative" crap. And the "don't conform to using stuff only the way it's supposed to be used" preach. Sorry for the late blog, I've been sewing nonstop for a midterm revision tomorrow... Happy Monday!

Al Green for your Sunday

I for my part am putting the Christmas lights on, making a big pot of Earl Grey and getting the sewing machine ready! Al Green is making me feel so good today!!! Have a great sunday, kisses!

Crystal Renn

AHA. NARS has it.

I seem to have finally found a lipstick that is matte and creamy at the same time. I fancy the idea of a dark red lip, under the condition that it looks superclean and doesn't smudge. I'm so eager to try them out!!!!! Now I know how to pass my time on the airport!

NEVER STOP EXPLORING YOUR CITY

There are so many streets you don't know yet, so many resaurants you haven't tried. Why be boring and keep going the same roads, eating at the same places... you might miss out on something!!!

My next Dream Destination

Looking at this map makes me beyond excited. Hopefully in summer I will already be there!

SPEAK YOUR WISHES OUT LOUD

Someone wrote on my friend's car: "I wish my wife was a dirty as this!"

Firework

As cheesy as it is... I find the message so beautiful. It's so true, and I love that music can be used so obviously to make people feel better about themselves and to give hope and confidence.

It gives me goosebumps.

BE WARM

Be warm to other people. Be warm to yourself!

I WANT CHANGE

DON'T BE STUCK IN THE ICE

Com'on, fur/fake-fur, moonboots, cashmere socks, grandma's camel itchy underpants... THOSE THINGS EXIST FOR A REASON!!!!

THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE COLDEST WINTER OF THE CENTURY:

If you're cold, it's clearly a lack of layers.. trust me, that's what I study. SO don't let the weather get you down, go outside!!! (no icediving for me though; see the dangers above)

Can I have a white house?

interesting, no?

December 8th

OPEN NEW DOORS

You never know what to expect...

Be curious.

See what you can do.

See who you can be.

DON'T BE AFFRAID OF CHANGE!

December 7th

APPRECIATE BOOBS

By that I mean: appreciate the female body! So if you are a woman (or you have an oestrogen problem) you can appreciate you own body! Celebrate! This is my mum's infamous boob pudding. I'm sure you can come up with something else!

December 6th - NIKOLAUS

EAT CHOCOLATE

or optionally a banana. or marzipan potatoes. OR MAKE THE GRANDMA'S FUDGE!

Recipe:

Melt in a hot water bath: dark cooking chocolate (250g), butter (100g), vanilla sugar (one packet) and a pinch of salt. Stir well adding cream (50-200ml) until the chocolate fudge has the consistency you like. Serve best over icecream. or any other way!!!

BE VEGAN

Stop stop stop. What I actually wanted to blast out with this yummy Christmas market picture is: Stop thinking about the reasons why you shouldn't eat this or that..

Too fat? Already ate an hour ago? Smells of garlic? Not sexy? CARBS? Meat? Contains non biological products? Contains GLUTAMAAAAT? DANGER DANGER!!!

From my experience I can tell you that if you already regret eating something before you even do, then better don't eat at all. It's nasty, you will just lose the fun of it. Instead my tip: eat whatever you like in the times when you really want to. Just make sure that your every day diet is healthy and according to your own ideas (in my case almost vegetarian). Then the occasional Bratwurst, Stollen, Kebab, Donut or supersweet Gingerbreadlatte can be enjoyed to the fullest!

SUGAR AND SPICE - ALL THINGS NICE

December 3rd

REMEMBER THE ONES THAT YOU LOVE

For me my family always stands first.

My Mama: people often tell me I am a lot like her. For me that's one of the biggest compliments.

My brother: I am so proud of him. He is calm and cool, and above all he is incredibly kind to everyone.

My sister: She is so pretty (hey, we look like twins! ok, she's much cuter than me) and so mature. I love to spend with her!

I am so lucky to have you!!! Then of course there are so many other cool people around me, my friends, my teachers, my other relatives, my crazy flatmates and last but not least my very nice Dad!

POSE IN EVERY PICTURE

YAY!! this is gonna make your Christmas time funny! And it will make also the pictures funny! Alexa Chung said: "I'd rather be told that I'm funny than being told that I look nice." SOOOO TRUE. High five Alexa!

Picture analysis:

SETTING: Very unusual situation. A firealarm. Who has a camera? me!

OUTFIT: let's doubt the glamour of this one...

POSE: SWAGGER!

See? This is a win! Go fellas, get your cameras out!

LOOK UP IN THE SKY

Do it like the tourists do.. there is so much to discover! It can make you feel so small, make you feel like a child with the eyes wide open for the wonders of this world.
