At the moment I cannot find the time to blog regularly. But I do not want to miss wishing everyone a happy Halloween! :)

I hope there will be many kids today knocking on my door! Muahahaa!! :)

up in the air

Especially in times when it´s getting colder and dark early I get very itchy feet. I have the desperate wish to lay somewhere on the beach in the sun with my lovely hubby!! :) So it came that I searched and found a place were I can dream away... Here are some photos...

 

 

 

 

Although I like dreaming of course, I like it even more when my dreams come true! So I am definitively a person who will do everything for it! In this case... think about and plan the next holidays! Haha :)

a special evening

My husband and I went to our favourite italian restaurant in the city. We especially like the athmosphere and the design on the walls and of course the food! :) It´s delicious. Here is what we ordered...

Our starter were some Bruschetta.

For the main course I had Tagliatelle Romana without tomato sauce and my lovely hubby had Tagliatelle al forno. We also enjoyed a red wine and had a good talk.

Afterwards we walked a little around the city. It´s nice to be there when it´s almost empty and this week some buildings are illuminated in pink which is really nice. :)

 

Hope you had a great evening, too!

shoes, shoes, shoes...

A girl needs shoes! I absolutely went head over heels with these babies here:

They are from bianco footwear and they look sooo gorgeous! Found them here. I ordered them in 2 sizes, but unfortunately none of them fit! :'(
Luckily enough, I also had a look and ordered 2 reduced pairs of sandals. Haha :)

These look very cute and are very comfy as well! I don´t mind that i can´t wear them now as it is obviously too cold, nevertheless they were a really good deal! :)

What are your latets shoe snaps? Do you do anti-seasonal shopping?

brush cleaning in below 5 minutes

Today I cleaned my brushes. As I have different brushes for the colors I am using, I don´t need to do it that often. I am using the cleanser from MAC which you can buy here. And it goes super easy!

These are some of my Barbara Hoffmann brushes (here) that I use for my eye make up and the Mary Kay mineral foundation brush (here).

 

I simply give a little spot of the brush cleanser onto a folded double piece of kitchen paper...

and start to wipe the color out of the brushes...

...until they are tidy again.

This took me less than 5 minutes! :)

Hope you have a nice sunday!

new make up items

My make up order from Mary Kay (here) just arrived. Yay! I am so happy! :) I waited so desperately for the mineral powder as I needed it in one shade lighter than I ordered it the last time. I use the tone 'Ivory 2' and it gives my skin a very natural look. It´s also very easy to apply. Simply need to brush one time over the face with a mineral brush and it gives a light powdered but natural look. I really like this on the weekends when I normally apply a decent make up only. If I apply 2-3 times it covers very well for my working days. And it really takes some time until this little package ends up.

 

The mineral powder cup can be closed and it comes with a little mirror on the top this is very handy for on the way. :)

 

 
And on top I chose a lip gloss in a coral/peachy color. Although I would consider this color more summerish I think I can still wear it with brown and nude tones and it will give a lovely color spot.

 

Hope you can identify the color in this little spot. Isn´t it nice? :)

Wish you a lovely weekend!

cosy home wear

Just learned about an online store that was completely unknown to me until now. I love to wear cosy and comfortable clothes at home especially as autumn is approaching now and oysho offers exactly this! Even most of the presented are in nude colors which I prefer the most. It totally thrilled me! :) They offer homewear, sleepwear, beachwear and a lot of other nice things! If you are interested just check it out here! :)

Skin care products

A few months ago I found the products from alverde which is a natural ingredients based skin care series with very exotic smells. :) I started to try out more products from alverde as I noticed they suit my sensitive skin. I totally like that they don´t have so much ingredients and are vegan as well. Although i have to admit that the application of the body lotion on the skin is partly a little inconvenient as it´s not absorbing into the skin so good. However, these products suit my skin very well, they give a caring feeling all day long and I never got an unbalanced reaction.

Lately I chose the shower gel and the bodylotion that smell like blackberry and quince it is a really intense smell and I liked it so much I couldn´t resist to buy it. Hmmm! :) It is a limited edition...

If you are interested in a natural based skin care i can totally recommend alverde. You can buy it here.

Mojito night

On Saturday night we had invited some friends. The plan was to spend a nice and relaxed evening together, ordering pizza and mixing some Mojitos! Although it may be a little cold already for such a icy cocktail we decided to do it, because we all were quite busy in the last weeks and it was difficult to find a date where everyone had time. So our funny Mojito night finally fell into October... :)

Mojitos are so easy to do at home and they are very refreshing and tasty. I also really like the smell of the fresh menthe that I grow myself.

This is the mixture that I went with yesterday:
 
Put 3 tea spoons (big ones ;) ) of brown cane sugar into a glass and dash with the juice of one lime so that the sugar gets covered. Add 3-4 fresh leafs of menthe and squash the menthe with the muddler a little bit. Now add 3cl rum and fill up the glass with crushed ice until the top. Finally add some soda and enjoy. For drivers simply waive the rum and use soda instead. Cheers! :)

Which cocktails do you make at home? Let me know.

Friday@gym

Today is Friday and it´s finally the end of my working week. Yay! I really always look forward to the friday afternoon and the 2 and a half free days ahead!!! As probably most people do! :) To get rid of all the stress from the week it helps me a lot to go to the gym. As I just picked up again after a while I have done a light training today. Basically I abserved a circuit training, I didn´t want to overexaggerate it... ;) 

So, here is what I exercised:

• warm up 10minutes walking fast on the treadmill
• abductors - 15kilos
• adductors - 15kilos
• chest press - 12,5kilos
• leg lengthening - 15kilos
• leg curl - 15kilos
• stomach - on my own
• stabilizors - on my own
• lat machine - 20kilos
• stomach - 15kilos
• abductors - 20kilos
• adductors - 20kilos
• chest press - 15kilos
• cool down 5 minutes walking on the treadmill

The abductors and adductors are the most important excersises for me, as well as the chest press - this one is sooo good for my back! That´s the reason why I repeat these exercises at the end of one circuit. After the workout I went to the sauna and totally enjoyed the warmth at 80°C - this relaxes me so good!

Do you have a ritual to start into the weekend? I am curious to know :)

 

Wish you a nice weekend!

p.s.: sorry i don´t have pic´s at the moment, but i will remember to take some for my next posts!

My first blogpost!

Hello!

 

My name is Sani and I am 30 years old, living in Hamburg, Germany with my husband.

I recently noticed there are so many blogs and vlogs out there on the internet and I really liked the idea of reporting and posting about things you like, or even create a little diary. So I decided to jump on the bandwagon!

 

I would like to keep this blog in English, although I am not a native. But it´s a good opportunity for me to maintain my English and on top I can share my blog with even more people. So I hope you will forgive me in case my vocabulary or grammar sounds a little weird sometimes! However, there may also be some German posts from time to time...

 

Hope you have fun reading!
