weleda haul

Sometimes I can´t help... especially in regards to cosmetics if I like a product and feel convinced I want to have everything out of this series to try it. So here is what I bought newly from Weleda.

As I have a cold at the moment I picked the relaxation bath oil with essential oils. To be honest, the smell is described like a walk through a forest and could be more intense. The rosemary shampoo is okay so far, but I miss an additional hair caring product that makes my hair more soft and gentle. The refreshening shower is one of my favourite weleda products. It smells really fresh like citrus fruits and makes you kind of awake and gets you in a good mood, if you are the lazy morning type as I am :) I also went with the citrus deodorant that does not congest your pores. I think it´s really good they offer it in a mini dispenser and I feel its ok so far. Furthermore I wanted a more intensely caring facial creme for the night time that reduces first wrinkles, it is with mosque rose and smells very nicely. It came with a sample of the 2in1 cleanser that I honestly don´t like that much as the application is too complicated, but I may try the normal cleansing milk sometime.

Weleda has such a good internet page where they explain which products suit your skin best, check it out here.

I wish you a wonderfull New Years Eve!!!

apple products

I am totally thrilled by our new apple tv! It is sooo cool!!! :) Today we bought the missing cable and could finally start the apple tv with all it´s functions. I am so excited to try everything out and to look my youtube videos on a big screen now. Yay! I already watched through all my iPhone photos and tried out an Hawaiian radio station - which is one of 5 billion offered!!! I am very happy with it and looking forward to rent the movies for our planned Harry Potter weekend! :) No more driving, just sitting on the couch, cosy and warm and rent the movies. It´s so comfortable! :)

In addition to that I finally could buy the Zip Wallet for my iPhone 5 today. I was waiting for ages! 

Now I got the Black Saffiano Wallet by Michael Kors. I think it looks super chic and sophisticated! :)

By the way at our apple store they offer now to check out yourself via your iPhone (in case you have activated itunes and a credit card number is deposited). When I was asking how the staff can control if someone has paid for it, I learned that they can´t - they just trust you. Isn´t that weird? What do you think?

weleda face care

Since I had my last appointment at the cosmetic studio I am newly discovering natural skin care. By the way I had the treatment at aliqua nature cosmetics that I can totally recommend! Thereafter I was on the search for a new creme series that does contain more caring ingredients and the lady told me in natural cosmetics everything depends a lot on the price. So some days later I went to a drugstore which has a huge department of these products and finally chose the moisturiser for sensitive mixed skin from weleda. It is unperfumed and cares with almond oil. After using it for a few days I had the feeling this is exactly what I wanted for my skin! It feels very soft and kind of pushed up a little bit now, like very good moisturized!

As I read there is a face oil available that should intesify your skin care during day, night, winter or both if needed I was not sure if this would be good for my skin. I feared this would be too much. But as you can use the face oil also for removing eye make up I was convinced to give it a try and use it for one or the other. The oil is also for senstive skin. When I apply it in the morning I can still feel the protecting care until late night. This is such a good feeling, knowing your skin is well cared and protected throughout the whole day! Exactly what I wanted! And on top of this I am using the oil for removing my eye make up as well... :)

no more excuses

I like sports, I really do. Once a week I am going to the swimming pool and swim for 45 minutes. And also once a week I am doing my workout at the gym for at least 1 hour. Knowing it´s not that much and I could do a little more I always try to work out one more day in the week. But sometimes there are these days when I have time but am a little lazy and can´t motivate myself to pack my bag and drive to the gym. Nowadays, this also relates to the fact that it is dark early and I prefer to stay in my cosy home at these times. ;) So I took advantage of a sports dvd!

It´s really comforting as I am ready to start immediately. A huge advantage on this dvd is that the programms offered have different time schedules. So even if I have only a little time I can start one item or I can combine different items in a workout. All I need is my yoga mat, a towel, a chair and a bottle of water depending on the programm chosen. So from now on I have no more excuses! ;)

Which sport dvd´s do you exercise at home?

new handbag

I have a passion for handbags... I could buy every single bag on this planet!! ;) This is my new one, it´s a brown animal print bag from Rena Marx. I like the size very much, it fits all my things that I need to carry to work. It´s neither too big, nor to small... lovely!

By the way in the background you can see the new teddybear cushions that I bought lately at Höffner. They are super cosy and are now part of my winter decoration! :)

healthy food day

I really like cooking, baking, preparing food and try new recipes whenever I have the time for it! On the weekends I have the most motivation to make a tasty and healthy food day :) So here comes, what that looked like on one of the last weekends.

Porridge with blueberries, banana slices and cinnamon and a green juice with spinach, apple, lemon, melon and strawberries. Both recipes are 'stolen' from the internet... ;)

Thai food, basically some chicken, lots of vegetables, fresh chopped pineapple and some cashews in coconut milk.

I serve it with rice. Soo yummy! I love it... In this pic you can also see the desert which is some yoghurt with berries and hazelnut crisps.

Then my lovely hubby made me a vanilla macchiato <3

And I prepared a pot of peppermint tea for the afternoon.

What would look your healthy food day like?

x-mas time

I can´t believe how fast this year ran through! It is now mid of December already and even the christmas time with all it´s special senses, the beautiful lights and christmas markets are only there for 9 more days!
I feel like the time goes by faster every year and therefore it gets more and more important to me how I spend my time. It´s like I want to spend it exclusively with the people that I love and like and doing things that I want to do. It´s almost like I´m only willing to take the benefits of my life (of course I know this is not always possible). You know, life is too short for letting anything negative in that hurts you or stresses you out. So why bother with it? And I think this is a very good attitude and it will also be one of my new years resolutions :)
This year is the first year my family and I decided to make a new rule regarding the gifts. So we will only give presents to the children and this makes it very easy in regards to christmas shopping :) However, the presents for my hubby have all been bought in November already, so I am well prepared and really look forward to christmas eve! :)

My hubby also gets an advent calendar from me every year.

I´ve done it by myself and it will be filled up every year with some little surprises! ;) Isn´t it cute?

I wish you and your families a wonderful x-mas time!
