Hi friends,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
this was the first time I have shopped at Amazon during the Amazon Prime Day (haven´t had Prime for years – happens).

I have to say that there are always lots of articles on my wishlist I am interested in but I end up deleting them after some time. Usually I am not browsing on Amazon I only go there if I am in need of a a prodcut I know they have and is nowhere else available or I just need quick delivery.

But I have found some great deals on beauty products I needed but would have gotten somewhere else or somebrand else and also on other stuff. They have tons of great deals these 36 hours.

So what is the Amazon Prime Day?
Amazon offers lots of great deals (mostly 20 to 30 % off) on all and I mean ALL kinds of articles. If you are in need of anything electronic I am sure you can find it no matter what you need.
The sale took part from the 16th of July – 12 am to the 17th of July 12 pm.There are also some deals which start later or are better than others but are limited in the 36 hours.

What I got:

Senseo Original coffee maker
We where talking about getting a new coffee mashine for quite some time now. I have a Nescafé Dolce Gusto but it keeps getting worse and worse and also after decalcifying the amount of coffee which get out doesn´t get more but let´s be honest, the mashine is now five or six years old and which one does last that long !!! Also the capsules are pretty expensive so this was another reason for switching mashines although I love mine (was a limited Facebook edition).
Usual price 79,99 € // marked down price 44,99 €

Senseo Classic pads for coffee maker – 10 packages
Since we have this coffee mashine at our office I now the different pads and how they taste. So I ordered the pads in bulk. We need them anyways. This sale is also great to stock up on basic items like kitchen goods or baby products.
Usual price 24,99 € // marked down price 14,99 €

Amazon Bascis navy cozy blanket
This wasn´t something I wanted but I loved immediately. Since I have redecorated our living room(view the post here) I am always on the look for navy or dark blue pieces and this was the one. First of all I have never heard that Amazon has its own brand called Amazon Basics. This was totally new to me. I got the blanket in the 2,29 x 2,29 m size in navy. Can´t have to many soft and cozy blankets for Fall and Winter and for this price.
Usual price 21,99 € // marked down price 15,99 €

Rituals – The Rituals of Dao body cream
That is an item I meant when I said stocking up on basics. I am currently using the Happy Buddha body cream but it will come to an end so why not getting a back up while it is on sale since this brand never really goes on sale or reducts products.
Usual price 17,90 € // marked down price 13,49 €

Burt´s Bees beeswax lip balm
I always love to have some of these at hand for my own use or just to throw into a gift back. They are moisturizing my lips perfectly and I really love the smell and the taste.
Usual price 3,99 € // marked down price 2,29 €

Burt´s Bees almond and milk hand cream 
Didn´t know that they also make hand cream and wouldn´t have bought it either but I am so glad I did cause it super moisturizing for your hand and it smells like marzipan. Obsessed!!!
Usual price 10,95 € // marked down price 4,99 €

Burt´s Bees shower gel peppermint and rosemary
Smells awesomely fresh the bottle is huge so this is going to last for a lot of showers. The peppermint scent is awesome for summer cause it smells super super fresh.
Usual price 12,95 € // marked down price 6,50 €

schaebens dead sea face and body scrub
Haven´t tried this one yet but I love the face masks so this will be great too. Their brand has awesome products for blemished skin.
Usual price 6,95 € // marked down price 3,95 €

I hope you liked my little guide. I am always loving to read what other people get on Amazon whether it is from a sale or not.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Food Friday – iced caramel chocolate coffee for hot Summer days….

Keine Kommentare

….

Hi guys,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
hot weather front is back and has me like a brick in my face. I really can´t stand this quickly changing weather anymore. One day it rains and is cool and the other day it is heating up again with about 80% humidity. So what are we craving when the weather gets so unbearale hot?


Iced coffe of course. I mixed mine with cold chocolate milk, cream and a

splash of
caramel but you could also do without all these ingredients. This is probably
the most unmeasured and quickest recipe I have ever shared but too good not to.
Also this
feels like a whole meal so you don´t have to cook anything after. Not healthy
at all (just saying) but so good.
Ingredients:
– espresso
(freshly brewed)
– crushed
ice
– chocolate
milk (I used soy)
– caramel
syrup
– heavy
cream
– funny
straws
– brew one espresso and fill up your glass with the cold chocolate milk (leave a little for heavy cream)
– add crushed ice if you want
– fill up with heavy cream now and drizzle with caramel syrup
– put in a colorful and funny patterned straw
– enjoy

Side note: you can also make the espresso a double or drizzle with chocolate or fruit syrup

Now it is up to you. Create your own 5 minute drink to survive the heat.


As always thanks for stopping by and a happy weekend.

A windy day at the shore in Sirmione…

skirt Mango sold out similar here, here, here and here / camisole old similar here and here / earrings H&M / sunglasses H&M / bag Mango sold out similar here / wedges Tommy Hilfiger sold out similar here and here / nails Essie Blanc

Hi there friends,
(post contains affiliate links / Werbung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links)
I am sharing another vacation look I have worn during our stay at Lake Garda. Another day, another skirt. Guess I just can´t give up my beloved skirts for pants but I also don´t have to.
So let´s have a closer look at the picutres. Standing at the shore of Lake Garda in Sirmione with all the winds and the smell of the water totally reminded me of standing there and watching the ocean. I really love every sea, lake and river cause the water has always been fascinating for me. Whether it is on the outside or on the inside and I can´t even tell you how much I am looking forward for our honeymoon cause we are going to be at the ocean the whole week.
The skirt was a sale find I got a few weeks ago and apparently a pretty fashionable one since there are lots of similar and even cheaper versions out there.
I paired it with a white camisole and a pair of black Tommy Hilfiger wedges. I got these years ago and they still make them but they sell out fast every year.
 A bamboo handle bag is still pretty cool (wanted one since I saw the first one which came out by Gucci) and I probably gonna use mine forever. Hopefully the Mango quality can keep up with my plan. I have found a really similar one from Urban Outfitters for you guys.

And last but not least my other accessories. The earrings are from H&M and still available (got mine during summer sales last year) and so are the sunglasses. I really like the gray and brown turquoise pattern on the frame since it really makes a huge difference for your face.
As always thanks for stopping by. If you are interested in my wedding content be sure to check back tomorrow as I am sharing my top ten pieces for a bride to be.
Take care. See you tomorrow.

Hi guys,
(Werbung/Anzeige/Ad)
I am continuing with my travel diary for Lake Garda today. This will be the last part of our awesome trip to beautiful Italy (view part 1 here and part 2 here).

Day 5
Since the weather was not supposed to be as it really was we headed to Sirmione for this day. This place is right at the bottom of Lake Garda and the castle of Sirmione is totally built into the lake.
We wanted to go up the castle and alos visit the grottoes but it was getting warm pretty quick and the walking from the parking spot (you can´t park inside the city unless you are a resident or have your hotel there) was about twenty minutes away.

Altough the weather got hot and humid really fast we walked around an hour until we sat down for a coffee and a drink. I like to sit at the place where the ferry comes in every hour cause there is no better space for people watching than there. 

If you could resist to get some ice-cream until now you can forget about that when you are in Sirmione. The moment you enter the city there is one ice-cream shop after the other. It is incredible how much ice-cream they make. I believe it it more in kg than they have residents. We had some fragola and went on exploring.

Day 6
This day was a little out of plan. We actually decided to drive up the coast (if you have time you should really spend some hours on this cause the lake is so picuresque, it is unbelievable) to Malcesine which we did but we didn´t get out of the car there cause it mas market at this day (have forgotten to check this) and this small city was full with cars and people and there wasn´t one parking spot left.

So we decided to drive to Garda, leave the car there and go for a walk along the waterfront to our favorite place the Barell Bar (Torre al Casello). We had a nice walk along the lake, a great late lunch. This time we switched. I had pizza and Florian ate a panini and overal enjoyed our afternoon.

After getting back to our car we went to the hotel to spend our last hours we had left for our pool there. 

For dinner we drove to Bardolino to eat at Spiller, again. We decided to go there again cause they had a huge screen outside and it was the best restaurant to watch the German soccer game at night. 
I didn´t mind either cause the food there is oh so delicious and they have a such a wide range on dishes they offer.

Unfortunately the Germans lost and dropped out but the food was marvellous. Can´t have it all am I right?!

Day 7
So this was our last day and after breakfast we checked out and headed to Affi. Our highway exit was in Affi and also our last toolbooth. There is also a huge shopping center in Affi where I wanted to check some stores but in fact we both wanted to head home to Chloe so we just grabbed a cup of coffee and some sweet treats and went on the road.

I hope you enjoyed my travel guide. You can view guides and posts to all of the places we went on my travel tab. 

Stay tuned for our honeymoon in September. We are going to stay at an awesome place at the ocean.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
