August Favorites

Montag, 1. September 2014
August has been a quite overload month for me. I haven´t really been traveling at all, maybe a few one-day-visits, but other than that, it mainly consisted of working and trying to spend as much time with my friends as possible.
So here are a few things that I loved / enjoyed.

CHIA SEEDS
Well they are nothing new to me and perhaps neither to you, but this month I particularly loved them. I eat them every other day, sometimes every day and I have to say they´re the best! My siblings are not too fond of them because they look like spawn, but I adore them. They are just full of good things for your body & soul. And since I´m a vegetarian I need the extra omega-3 fatty acids. I just don´t get tired of them and there are so many ways of using them. Maybe I´ll do a longer blog post about them soon (:

AUDIOBOOKS
As children we were known to be the bookworms. Every start of summer we would go to the library and lend books we want to read over the summer. Usually each one of us had a least 15 books and we´d swap among us. But it wasn´t only reading our books. We also had audiobooks for our rides.  Over the last two years I haven´t been reading nearly as much as I used to. There was just so much going on with school and life itself that I hardly found the time to actually sit down and read books properly or even listen to an audiobook. But now that school is finally over I find the time. And it makes me beyond happy. I missed it, to get so deep into a story that you literally can´t stop reading / listening (to) it! I discovered audiobooks again for me and I always will!

FASHION MAGAZINES
Usually I´m not really one for being into fashion. I mean yeah, I am interested in it to some point but I don´t really go crazy for it and I don´t plan my outfit the night before. But I found myself picking one up once in a while and brushing through it. They aren´t actually that bad!

LEWIS WATSON
Oh God. Why did I stop listening to him? He must be a saint. It seems like this summer is all about picking up old things and learning to love again. I just find his voice really calming. You can download his album right here. My favorite tracks are Little Darling and Into the Wild.

speaking of into the wild:

INTO THE WILD
I´m usually a person reading the book before watching the movie. But recently I watched Into The Wild and it amazed me. I have to admit, I´m quite into all this Supertramp and Outdoor kind of stuff. I really enjoyed the movie... especially because it is based on a true story. A person just trying to live. I loved it so much that I ordered the book the same night! Go watch / read it!

BLACKBERRY LIPBALM FROM KIKO
On my trip to Mallorca one of my closest friends introduced me to this piece of happiness. A lip balm from Kiko. Why I praise it in all its glory is, because it makes your lips smooth as a peach and smile like a raspberry. I know it´s called blackberry, but to be honest the color is more of a very ripe raspberry. Nonetheless it´s an amazing color. If this isn´t convincing you, maybe the fact that many of my other female friends got a hold on it as well (even my mom complemented for it) will! Go have a try and share your experience!

RAFFAELO
I´m really trying to eat somewhat healthy and balanced. But once in a while I catch myself craving really bad for this little shit of heaven. I don´t know why I love it so much! I used to dislike coconut quite a bit, but right now I´m hating myself for doing so! Also; Expect a blogpost with some Raffaelo-related topic soon! (:

GLISS KUR
Let´s be honest: I´m really not a hair professional. Like not even close. But I have somewhat tricky hair. It´s just a bit boring and dry and uhhh I don´t really know what to do with it. But over the past couple of weeks I´ve been really loving Gliss Kur by Schwarzkopf. I put it in towel-dry-hair and then I´ll brush it out. It makes my hair a bit shinier and just looking more healthy in general.

HUMMUS
In every possible made way. I love it. It´s really amazing and my go do spread. I do all kind of Hummus´ and to be honest most of the time I don´t go after a recipe, but after what I´m craving or believe would go lovely with it. If you would like me to I can share some of my "tries".

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME ON EARTH
This quote is used in many forms. Simply: YOLO. As stupid as it sounds, there is so much truth in it. Our time on earth is set. This planet is a gift to us. It only seems fair to me to toll it some proper respect. I bought this book about the world in Urban Outfitters on my recent trip to London. I am amazed with it. It holds so much about the world you wouldn´t even dare to think about. Please, give it a go. You won´t be disappointed!
