60 Questions | get to know me.

What cities have you not yet visited that you’d love to visit?

Lisboa, New York, Santorin & Stockholm.There are a loooot more places I want to go to, but those are my top 4. 

What’s your idea of the perfect pizza?

The dough has to have a perfect crust, not too thick, and my favourite toppings are: mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, and basil. Pretty simple, but delicious! :)

What was your dream job when you were little?

I honestly don't know what my actual dream job was, but my cousin told me that apparently I wanted to be a secretary or a teacher (what a boring dream job to have haha....). 

What is your favourite time of the year?

SPRING. I love the smell of spring, the flowers, the sunny days, everything! :) I also love Autumn.  

If you could choose one extra language to speak which one would it be?

Besides, speaking English with barely an accent and improving my French again, I'd love to learn Italian. I really like the sound of the language. And I like Italy, so....:) 

If you only had 24 hours left to live, what would you do?

Pretty scary thought, but: I definitely would want to spend it with all of my loved ones, eat all of my favourite food and just have a nice day I guess :) 

What’s your favourite book?

I love reading thrillers, so all books by Sebastian Fitzek and Jiliane Hoffman, but my favourite book until now would be "Me before you" by Jojo Moyes. 

Would you rather win the lottery or work at the perfect job? And why?

I'd rather have the "perfect" job, a job I really enjoy doing and looking forward to doing every day, than win the lottery. A lot of many can make you happy, but it's not enduring. In addition, earning money by yourself feels more satisfying and can make you happy your whole life.

What’s your favourite meal to cook?

Vegetable stir-fries, fresh salads or something with sweet poatoes (!!love it). 

 

Favourite Disney film?

The Lion King! All time favourite. Could watch it again and again. Could cry again and again.

 

What is one thing that you regret the most?

That's dificult to say, because I wouldn't be where and how I am now if I wouldn't have done something or wouldn't have made a decision.I think every 'bad' moment or 'bad' decision is a lesson. But there are probably some fashion and make up "faux pas" from my teenage years I regret....:P

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. :)

4 SMOOTHIE recipes.

I hope everyone had a great start into 2015. Maybe already seeing benefits and goals from your new years resolutions?

In today's blog post I'll show you my 4 personal favorite smoothie recipes. I haven't loved smoothies from the beginning. Juices with berries and banana were the only ones I tried. For a while now , the hype about "Green smoothies" is going around and a lot of people seem to love it. I think everyone gets a little bit scared of by the colour. Since I tried a green smoothie for the first time I'm really loving it.

There are endless recipes of smoothies, because obviously you can mix everything you like. Berries, Apples, Mangos, Bananas - you can't go wrong with those fruits, almost every combination will taste delicious. The thing with a green smoothie is that you're not quite sure what to mix with e.g spinach or sellerie? Particulary if you haven't made one before.There is a "formula" or a "guide"  to which one can hold on.  Base (almond milk, coconut milk, water) - greens - fruits - sweetener.

GREEN SMOOTHIES....

•  offer pure nutrition
•  are quick and easy to make
•  provide you with long lasting source of energy
•  will keep you hydrated

here- I used water as a base.

* Banana

WINTER love. | outfit. |

Today was the loveliest winter day in Vienna. Full of sunshine. I'm a person whose mood depends a loooot on the weather. There are these days - when I wake up I either can already hear the rain on my window or I look outside and see the grey and gloomy weather. In this situation I could instantly go back into my bed and stay there all day long. It's very hard to get motivated when you can feel the world goes down outside your house. Then, there are these days - where you are woken up by the sun. One of the best feelings, I think. My mood and motivation rises immediately!! 

Although, I haven't been the biggest fan of the winter the last months, I thought I'd give it a second chance. ;) So, my friend and I decided it would be a great possibility to go for a walk and take some lovely pictures. I'm lucky, that I don't live directly in the bustle of the city, but in an outlying district where I have very good subway,bus and tram connections and at the same time possibilities to escape my everyday life. I put some of the photos I've taken today down below (and also some pictures of my outfit I wore today) Enjoy :)

bag - H&M

gloves (they're black with white "BRRR..." on it ;)) from MONKI - London

 

coat - Pimkie, scarf - ZARA, nailpolish -  ESSIE(bikini so teeny)
