JOMA – café | brasserie | bar

Wenn du ein Restaurant in der Wiener Innenstadt suchst, das neben Wiener Klassikern auch außergewöhnliche und gleichzeitig gesunde Gerichte wie eine Superfood Bowl (mit Taboulé, Linsen, Avocado, Feigen, Cranberries und Chiasamen) anbietet, kann ich das JOMA nur empfehlen.

Ich persönlich kannte das Restaurant Joma schon, da ich dort schon vor ein paar Monaten frühstücken war. Es war wirklich sehr gut, also wurde vorgestern dann auch die Mittagskarte inspiziert und ich war sofort begeistert. Zum Glück war an diesem Tag auch noch traumhaftes Wetter sodass wir draußen sitzen konnten. Auf der Speisekarte findet man alles was das Herz begehrt - von Suppen und Pasta bis hin zu verschiedenen Burgern und leckeren Desserts. Da ist für jeden etwas dabei. Der Avocado- Papayasalat, der vegane Süßkartoffelburger und der vegetarische Macchia Flammkuchen haben schon so lecker geklungen. Schlußendlich habe ich mich für den Flammkuchen (mit Rucola, Feigen und Ricotta) und Süßkartoffelpommes (wegen meiner kleinen Süßkartoffelpommessucht konnte ich nicht widerstehen;)).

Es gab mehrere vegetarische Optionen, was ich als Vegetarierin natürlich richtig cool fand. Die Desserts haben alle himmlisch geklungen, jedoch haben wir beschlossen danach Frozen Yoghurt essen zu gehen - deswegen konnten wir noch widerstehen. Wir waren absolut zufrieden - das Essen war lecker, der Service war gut und aufmerksam und die eher gehobenen Preise fand ich okay - da die Qualität und die Location einfach perfekt waren.

If you are looking for a restaurant in the historical district of Vienna that offers viennese classics but also exeptional but at the same time healthy dishes like a Superfood Bowl (with taboulé,avocado, figs, cranberries..) I can highly recommend JOMA.

 I have already known the restaurant JOMA because I had breakfast there a few month ago. I liked it a lot , so I checked the lunch menu and instantly loved what I read. Luckily it was a beautiful day so we could sit outside. On the menu you find everything the heart desires– from soups and pasta to burgers and desserts. There is something for everyone. The Avocado-Papayasalat, and Vegan Sweet Potato Burger and the Veggie Macchia Flammkuchen sounded so delicious. In the end I chose the 'Flammkuchen/tarte (with rocket, figs, ricotta and sweet potao fries to go with it (I have a sweet potato fries addiction so I couldn’t resist).  They also have a great variety of vegetarian dishes, which - as a vegetarian myself - found really cool. All of their desserts sounded heavenly but we decided to grab some frozen yoghurt afterwards so we could somehow resist. All in all, it was a perfect and delicious meal, the service was good and considerate and the quite upscale prices were okay in terms of quality and the location.

schnell- gesund- frisch. Rote Beete Salat | Recipe.

 

 Ein frischer, gesunder und schnell zubereiteter Salat. Auch wenn ich es liebe, neue und aufwändigere Rezepte auszuprobieren, bevorzuge ich es wenn es in der Küche schnell aber gleichzeitig gesund und lecker ist. Ich versuche immer frisches Gemüse und viel Salat in meinem Kühlschrank zu haben - bei Salaten kannst du so kreativ sein wie du willst. Einfach Salatblätter + Gemüse deiner Wahl + Dressing dazu. Da kannst du hinzufügen was du nur möchtest. In diesem Post möchte ich euch einen frischen Rote Beete Salat mit Tomaten, Karrotten und Kichererbsen zeigen. Dazu gibt es ein Zitronendressing.

" Don't let anyone limit your dreams."

As I announced on my Instagram account (http://instagram.com/jules.mariette) I'm going to re-design my blog a bit and write about about a topic I'm really passionate about more often. fitness. workouts. workout clothing. sports. workout routine. I have many ideas and plans I'd like to transalte into action here on my blog. Today I want to show you a workout legging I just love wearing. Its a dark navy blue legging with little leather-like details on the knees. The fabric feels so good so it's very comfortable. I also love the pink writing on the waistband.

I hope I can wake your interest and motivation as well. 

Any ideas for future posts? Just leave a comment in the comment box below. :)

WOMAN CAVE. | Girls just wanna have fun.

" The only thing more beautiful than the woman that knows what she wants, is the woman who isn't waiting on anybody else to get it for her." 

A lot of men have their stylish, cozy ‘man caves’, but why can’t women have their own personal room to get away and relax in? 

 A "man cave"  = a male retreat or sanctuary in a home, such as a specially equipped garage, spare bedroom or basement.The term "man cave" is a metaphor describing a room inside the house where "guys can do as they please" like a caveman without fear of upsetting any female sensibility about house decor or design.

So, of couse women can create their own "cave" free from males and kids, where they can go to get some peace, relax and pursue their interests. In cooperation with Carish, an exclusive curator- approved online marketplace for vintage furniture, I created a styleboard surrounding my ideal woman cave. 

1. Furniture

For relaxing, the most important thing: a comfortable sofa and chairs. I chose a grey retro-style sofa from mömax with wooden details. I really like the shape and the details on it. The size is perfect as well. Secondly, I found a beautiful vintage chair on Chairish.com ( www.chairish.com) with a unique and colorful pattern on it. I think it's cool to have a statement piece in your room that has a bit of a different style than the other ones. The website makes it really fun and easy for design lovers to buy and sell vintage furniture and decor. One can definitely find something unique.

I couldn't leave out a desk in my woman cave, cause work never stops. No matter if you are studying, writing, creating, randomly browsing - it is more fun and productive when you feel comfortable with your work space. There are endless possibilities for decorating and DIY's out there!!   

2. Decoration

When it comes to decoration, there are no limits. Vases, pictures, candles, plants, rugs, pillows. In my room I'd like to have some color accents, like yellow and turquoise. I found the yellow rug with atztec pattern on H&M Home (they have such a cool interior range!!!). Due to my pillow addiction, I chose only two this time, but let's be honest - I'd probably buy more of them ;) Also very important: a cozy blanket on the sofa. 

 The two paintings are also from Chairish.com, and I have to say it wasn't easy to choose only two. The selection of paintings, drawings, posters, prints and sculptures is endless. On my desk, I'd like to have a candle or a home scent, my JBL speaker (because music is essential!!), a lamp and some storage options. 

The possibilities and ideas when creating a "cave" for yourself should be endless and you should definitely take your time and choose wisely so you are 100% comfortable with everything! :)

MOVING journey | sneak- peek | Interior.

 I guess the "moving journey" is coming to an end for me. I officially moved in a few weeks ago - and it feels good. There are some things that still have to be done and bought but all in all - I'm living in my own apartment.

When the "construction zone" in my flat was finally gone - the fun part began. I could plan my rooms and think about the style I'd like to decorate everything. In one of my previous blog posts I wrote about my plans and the style I was going for. [Check it out if you want.] I love to see how everything turned out in the end :) It never was my plan to copy any rooms and pictures I found online - but I put it into action my own personal way. And I love how it turned out. I will show you a little sneek-peak of my favorite room so far. (the living room). Let me know what you think. :)

Editing who we are until we fit in? | Quote by Charles de Lint. | My thoughts and experience.

“We’re so quick to cut away pieces of ourselves to suit a particular relationship, a job, a circle of friends, incessantly editing who we are until we fit in.“
– Charles de Lint

 

 I am thinking A LOT. Okay, may sound weird but what I mean is - I OVERthink a lot. I am that kind of person who would question every little thing that can be questioned. What would happen if I do or say that? What would happen if I don’t do or say that? What would that person think of me? Why would they think like that? Thinking about unrealistic scenes in your head that will probably never happen to you, or practising a conversation with someone you’ll probably never have....

Excessive thinking about a problem, while losing focus on the big picture. The result is an overly complicated analysis, and any solution coming out of this will also be complicated. And probably a fruitless waste of time.  (definition of overthinking)

As I read this quote by Charles de Lint it immediately got my thinking. I got inspired by it. It kind of got me thinking about “cutting away pieces of ourselves” - changing for someone or something “a relationship, a job, a circle of friends”, literally EDITING who we are “until we FIT IN”. There is so much truth behind those words. 

Let’s just think about social media (Instagram and Facebook). People nowadays are caught up in editing their photos for literally hours. For what? Likes? Being famous? Acceptance from strangers? Not only being caught up in editing, but being obsessed watching the likes and comments coming in, being disappointed for only getting 50 likes on one photo. Of course, there is the enthusiasm and love for photography and editing. Being creative. There is nothing wrong with that. But spending hours of your day investing in that kind of progress (editing,worrying, watching your phone non-stop)? As cheesy as it may sound – I don’t think it will make someone happy - longterm. 

I am not writing this post to mock or complain about people on social media (people who work with social media or people who spend a lot of time on social media) but to write about my personal thoughts on it and my experience with it. 

I LOVE taking pictures with my camera, my IPhone or my Polaroid. It has always been like that – beginning at the age of three where I’ve been confronted with filming and photography by my parents. The result: eighteen years of footage seeing myself growing up is absolutely amazing. So of course I kept going taking pictures and filming from time to time while growing up. It was one thing where I could be as creative as I wanted and I loved doing that. 

At the age of fifteen Netlog came up. The predecessor of Facebook. I think it was the first website where I put up photos of myself and my friends and getting likes and comments for it. It was exciting and funny but it never became an obsession for me. After “Netlog time” – I got into Facebook. It was and still is a great way to connect with friends, classmates and family. I remember spending a lot of time on Facebook and MSN to chat with my friends, but not to post pictures regularly and writing what I am doing. I’ve been a shy and quite person at the time – so maybe that’s why.  When I posted a picture I was worried about the reaction to it. Ridiculous. But kind of normal. I am so happy that my childhood and teenage years were not defined by the “world of social media”. Compared to NOW – where almost every thirteen year old girl and boy already has an IPhone or IPad, and is registered on Facebook, Instagram etc.  

Away from my storytelling and back to the quote by Charles de Lint. While being on those social media sites we get inspired without even noticing. Both – in a positive or a negative way. There is nothing wrong with getting inspired for doing more work, being more productive, be active and getting fit. As long as you stay true to your own self and don’t change your personality while being focused on your life online or an online life from another person because you think it all looks so perfect. Perfect body? Perfect style? Perfect boyfriend?  We are unconsciously comparing ourselves to others and we shouldn’t do that. We should really focus on ourselves, OUR personality, OUR friends, OUR live. 

The result of my “overthinking” on this topic would be trying to avoid checking my phone constantly, turning it off or on flight mode from time to time in order to focus on what’s happening in real life and not getting distracted by social media. 

Life is beautiful, so don’t miss it.
