1. I don’t use a lot of lip color on a daily basis, but Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer (Watermelon) is 100% natural, keeps my lips hydrated and soft and adds a nice tinted shimmer. Nothing wrong with that! 2. I picked up this lovely set of ‘thank you’-cards by Green Inspired the other day at Target and, as I…
I was very shocked and saddened to hear about the horrible plane crash in the French Alps earlier this week. Emotionally, this one hit close to home, because I consider ‘Düsseldorf’ (and Köln) my home airport(s) in Germany and when I heard that there were students and their teachers on that flight from Barcelona…

I’ve recently watched a few good movies (some of which you might already have heard, others that you might not know about at all) and I thought I’d share these with you, because I thought they were really worthwhile watching.

I do think so!), slept in and then spent 4 hours on Skype and FaceTime with family and friends. It was wonderful! It’s the next-best thing to actually spending your birthday with the people…

A powerful post by my friend Onyi: The mirror & me. If you’re on the Internet, you need to take a look at these 300 awesome free things. 8 Ways to Change Your Habits (And…
Well, it’s my birthday (week) again and I thought it would be fun to reflect on my 38th year by sharing some moments and things that made the past year great. The year itself wasn’t really anything spectacular, meaning that there were no big changes (more a lot of unknowns) or accomplishments, but since I…
We’ve lived in our current apartment for 4 years and it has (mostly) served us well. I fell in love with its vintage charm when we first looked at it (and it’s in a great location, of course, in the heart of the city close to shops and restaurants). I mean, look at this hutch…
I’ve been baking and trying new things in the last few weeks and not everything has turned out great, but I wanted to share this recipe for crusty yogurt rolls/bread, because it’s been a yummy, super-easy recipe that I’ve been coming back to a lot these last few weeks. I love baking my own bread,…
