What I love at the moment. | JUNE 2015.

"Overthinking is the biggest cause of our unhappiness. Keep yourself occupied and your mind off things that don't help you.
Be optimistic. "

 A while has passed, but I'm back with monthly favorites. At first, I thought it will be hard to find things that I REALLY loved because of the stress I had (still have) for uni but then I found some cool stuff . During June I bought DECORATION and CLOTHES, tried out new RECIPES, re-discovered FOOD I really love, found a pretty beautiful PLACE and listened to new SONGS.

I went to Thalia with absolutely no desire to buy any decoration. But there was a SALE going on with really likeable prices ;). I saw those copper vases (I've generally fallen in love with copper things, I think they make everything look more luxurious and modern). They were like...1€ EACH!!! I mean........

I was planning on buying new workout clothes from Nike for quite a while now. I drove to Parndorf (Designer Outlet in Austria) but couldn't find ANYTHING in the store, which kind of frustrated me a little bit. (BUT I found a really cool workout mat from Reebok). So, a month later I went into the Nike store in Vienna and found 2 items. A workout bh (black/grey ~ 50€) it sits perfectly and it's so comfortable, which is the most important thing. Then, I also found some pants in a really fancy color (turquoise/blue with little dots on it). The fabric is so soft!!!

I won't show you specific recipes, but I want to present you 2 books I got for my birthday. The "La Veganista" by Nicole Just and "Deliciously Ella" by Ella Woodward. Both have incredibly delicous vegan recipes in it. I love cooking and therefore I love trying out new recipes as often as I can! :)

My next favorite would be : MAKI. I've never been a great fish lover and so I never eat fish. BUT I love cucumber and avocado maki. Sooo delicous!! Plus, I 'm not a person who goes out for meals very often but this month I've had those MAKI to go twice!!! <3

 It's the first time I'm showing a favorite place in my favorites post. It has been extremely hot here in Austria in the beginning of June. My cousin and I decided to drive to a lake. A friend of mine recommended me the "Neufeldersee". It lies in Burgenland and it's not that far from Vienna, which is great. I LOVED it there. Although there was an event going on while we were there (so it was loud and there were sooo many people) it was a lovely day.

What I love at the moment. | FEBRUARY 2015

" The only way to do great work is to love what you do. "

Time for new favorites. 

Although it is already March 10th, I wanted to share some of my new possessions I got in February - from homeware and make- up to lifestyle. In comparison to my last "FAVORITES" , this one includes a very, very special thing, that means a lot to me. :) enjoy.

PHOBIA by Wulf Dorn. Loved this thriller!! Read it in one week and the story was absolutely catching. It doesn't only bring excitement, but is also thought-provoking.

found this planner on www.runningonrealfood.com - perfect if you want to set goals and improve yourself.

 

planner from www.runningonrealfood.com - you can find a lot more planners (weekly,daily,fitness related....etc.) I find it extremely important for stressful and eventful weeks to plan everything in detail. When you write your plans down you can see what's planned for the next day and definitely won't forget any important appointments. :)

AUTUMN love.

  AUTUMN love.

 

Although, it's a very hard decision to make, I can say that autumn is my favorite season. Despite the weather - because it's not too warm and not too cold- there are a lot more things that I really love about that season. Fashion, decoration, food and lifestyle.I have my personal favorites in each category.

D E C O R A T I O N. One of my absolute favorite things to do is decorating. Of course I don't want to spend an awful lot of money to redecorate my whole room, but I love finding some bits-and-bobs to make my room feel a little more autumnal. For example - pillow cases in warm and mellow colours, many candles with vanilla and ginger scents, comfortable and soft blankets etc.

brown pillow with pattern (H&M), orange pillow (mömax)

 
F A S H I O N. First of all, warm and cozy jumpers and pyjamas. Who doesn't love a chilled evening at home or even a whole day just in your favorite pyjamas? I definitely do! A chilled evening wouldn't be perfect without warm socks. I couldn't live without them during autumn and winter. When you can finally convince yourself to go outside in the cold, you can wear fashionable jackets and coats.

L I F E S T Y L E. I love watching series all the time, but in autumn I become a real junkie. I get addicted and I love discovering new series. Recently I started Sex and the city (hilarious!! I love it), Breaking Bad (because it seems to me that everyone in the world is watching it, but me! :P)  and series like Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl never bore me so I can watch them all over again 100 times. ;) When I find the time I love having a pamper evening. Having a bath - quite recently I bought my first LUSH products (amazing!) - while reading a book or a magazine, putting on a face mask...you know just all the girly stuff- but I really love doing that once in a while. It's so relaxing and I really need that sometimes.

Yankee Candle - Honey Glow. <3

F O O D. This category couldn't be left out. I'm a tea lover, and in this case I also have my favorite teas in autumn. While I prefer green teas all year around, I also love fruit and sweeter teas during autumn. Autumn time is hot chocolate time. I love drinking hot chocolate when it's cold outside and you want to warm up a little bit. Autumn and winter is the time where you shouldn't have a bad conscience while eating delicious cookies or cake. Chocolate cookies, gingerbread, cupcakes, apple pie - who can resist to that? I can't! :) 

3 of my favorite teas.

beautiful autumn morning.

I really wanted to share some of my autumnal favorites with you and I hope that you'll also share some of yours in the comments below! :)
