How do woman fit all their to-do‘s in just 24 hours? How do they always look perfectly styled, have their private life in order, get their laundry done, clean their appartment properly, keep their body in shape and have some free time to meet their friends, go to the movies or enjoy their hobbies? These women seem like super woman to me.
As I recently started working full time - it‘s just an internship so an end is in sight, thank god ;) - I haven‘t had any free time at all. All I do is get up in the morning, go to work and come back in the evening. I am glad if I have enough time to cook myself a decent dinner, read my mail and, if I am really fast doing these things, read a few pages of a novel or watch an episode of my favorite show.
But then, I remember dreaming of being an independent working woman, moving out from my parent‘s house, doing whatever I pleased to do, not having to do homework after I came home. Back then it seemed like the most desireable thing ever. But I hadn‘t experienced being a working woman yet and now I miss those carefree times, when I actually had the time to try out new hair-dos, paint my nails twice a week, play the Sims for hours and lie in front of the TV to watch all those Gossip Girl and Grey‘s Anatomy episodes.
Xoxo, enjoy whatever you are doing at the moment, you will miss it some day!

Imagine
Today on the tube home from work I saw a couple in their sixties and almost immediately saw me and the guy I've been in love with for the last three years. Sitting there, talking, smiling at each other. The woman even let her eyes drift to her husband's lips sometimes as if she was fantasizing about kissing him.
This picture made me happy. Though I don't know if said guy and I will ever get back together... Long story short: we met at work and I was instantly drawn to him but never even imagined we'd eventually actually be together, so I kept admiring from afar. Then he left the company and we didn't have any contact for more than two years until he started texting me on facebook because as he said, he had never forgotten me. So after a few weeks we started dating and I was on cloud nine for quite some time, but unfortunately he had to move to another continent because of his work - only for two years, but still it wasn't the same anymore although I felt like he was my Mr. Big.
So although I don't know what's going to happen I always got my imagination and hope!
Xoxo, use your imagination to feel happy!

Be in Peace with Yourself
I got this book - Desiderata, a poem for a way of life.
Every day before going to bed I open it at a random page and read the rule for this day. Today it told me to "be in peace with myself". I started thinking about it. What does "being in peace with yourself" mean?
Does it mean I should be all well-balanced, don't have mood swings, never get angry and never losing my temper? - This really seems possible to me, and what about all the delicious chocolate I'd miss if I didn't have to face situations like that??
Or does it just mean that I should be ok with everything I ever did and will do? Like taking all the things I did as they are and not being embarrassed or frightened or angry about them anymore?
At first it seemed to me like my first answer sounded right, but then, after thinking longer about it, I realised that I couldn't think of anything more desireable as to be in peace with myself. Not to feel angry and confused about that one time, I broke up with this one boyfriend because it felt right at that time, but then I couldn't forget him for a very long time. Or this other situation, when I was so embarrassed because someone found out I had a crush on that totally uncool singer, which felt so right to me, but obviously everyone else didn't think so...
And then I realised, I wouldn't be the person I am now if I hadn't had all those moments!
Xoxo, I hope you will be in peace with yourself some time soon!

Presents, Presents, Presents
As Christmas is approaching really fast, I thought, this time I’d write about my favorite DIY presents for all of us, who – like me – don’t want to spend too much money on their Christmas presents, but of course want them to be special and personalised.
So, here are my favorites: (for most of them you will find helpful tutorials on Youtube)
- Home-made candles: this is really easy and also cheap as you can use old candles you already have at home
- Customized calendars: these are perfect for grandparents or parents
- Make your own soap
- Home-made marmalade or jelly, you can even invent your own tastes and combinations
- bake your own Christmas cookies
Xoxo, have fun trying out these ideas!

It’s Christmas time
Only a bit more than two weeks to go until it will be the one evening every child looks forward to during the whole year. The day, when it’s going to turn out if the kids have been nice enough throughout the year to receive a lot of magnificent Christmas presents.
For me, the last weeks before Christmas are some of the most wonderful weeks of the year. These weeks, full of enjoyable rush to decorate the home and the Christmas tree, to pick out the right Christmas presents for the beloved, wrapping and hiding them, shopping for a beautiful outfit for the Christmas dinner and New Year’s Eve, baking delicious Christmas biscuits and just enjoying the cozy and festive atmosphere.
Love is all around, especially at Christmas, and it is so rewarding to give and receive love – maybe even the love of your life. So, enjoy this magnificent time with your friends and family and keep your eyes open for the One.
Xoxo and Merry Christmas!

Search for Love
Isn't there a time in every girl's life when she does something only in order to "find love", like Carrie says, when asked, why she moved to NYC? Aren't there times when every girl vows to herself that she is done with love once and for all when she has been heart broken for what feels the hundredth time? Times, when a girl swears that she is never going to cry because of a man again?
However, I am sure that, no matter how often a girl's heart had been broken and had to be mended by lot's of kind words and boxes of chocolate, every girl is about to find her Mister Big. Sometimes it only takes a short while to find him, at times it takes a slightly longer journey to be in for the biggest treat on earth - a girl's personal Prince Charming.
Sometimes this search for love makes a girl wander through dozens of countries, hundreds of "Sorry, but you are not the One-speeches" and thousands of more or less embarrassing situations. This journey leaves us looking for more and makes us love our Mister Big even more when in the end, we finally meet him.
Nevertheless, don't forget to enjoy your search, it might be the only chance you have, before you'll never be able to do all the crazy things you got on your "All-I-wanted-to-do-before-I-find-Him-list".
Xoxo, enjoy your search!
