Good morning guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I am wishing you a happy Saturday. The last weeks have gone a little quicker I had wished for but that´s just how it is. So for today I am sharing some things we did.

printed dress (not available anymore in this print) – Zara (wearing size M)

volant dress – Zara (wearing size M)

knit sweater – Zara (wearing size M)

blazer jacket – H&M (wearing size 40 but 36 would have worked easily)

midi dress – H&M (wearing size M)

Sales:

I personally love the after Christmas sales more than Black Friday because in my opinion the deals are way better and the sale prices are much less than the original prices. I used the opportunity to stock up on dresses and hair accessories I can wear most time of the year. My Zara and H&M order arrived in the middle of the week and I couldn´t wait to try on all the pieces. I have linked as many as possible but things sell fast.

Food:

Last Saturday we went to a new breakfast place in Regensburg (not new in general but new to us) cause we got a voucher for Christmas to try it out and what can I say – it was delicious. I personally love breakfast but I can never eat as much as I want in the morning as I am barely hungry, also a reason why we went at 11 a.m. the other reason was that we just slept too long. It is called the Weichmann´s and the café is just the cutest. It has been a former gallery and includes the cutest little wintergardena and also an outside spot for breakfast in the summer. I had the waffles with maple syrup and two eggs sunny side up. They also serve fresh pressed juice but I´d rather take one without the chance of having pulp in it.

TV:

We started to watch Supernatural on amazon Prime last week and are currently in the middle of season 1. There are already 12 existing seasons so this is going to last a while. Also I wasn´t sure if I could watch it but there are mainly monsters so I am fine with it.

Another movie I wanted to watch is Bird Box but I have seen the trailer and was already scared as hell so I think I´d rather skip this one. Although I really wanted to see Sandra Bullock in a movie again.

Has anyone already seen the spin-off of Pretty Little Liars and Gossip Girl called You?? I am not sure if I want to start it. Is it good?

Beauty:

I had a appointment at the hair dresser yesterday as you may have seen on my Instragram channel. I am going to do a post with all the information about my hair very soon, like color and cut and my favorite items to maintain it.

Fitness:

I am not totally back at my routine but I am at the studio at least 2 times a week which makes four days of excercise (included Line Dance on Monday and Latin dance on Tuesday). It feels good to start to get moving again and especially to get back into a routine. The holidays always make me so lazy in the end. I also ordered a pedometer which shows the calorie consumption of a day and also tracks your sleep cycle. I first wanted the original Fitbit one but in my opinion it is way to expensive cause I know myself and I don´t know how long I am going to use it. So I got a slim black one from Medion.

That´s it for this week. We are going out to bowl this evening with a couple of friends and head to the Beach House for dinner afterwards. I know exactly what I am going to eat there – any clues?? Of course, a Ceasar salad with sweet potatoe fries and guacamole.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a nice weekend.

Oh boy, the month of December is almost over and we did so much and are still not done but I think I am rounding up a little of the last month of the year before all the New Years reflections start to roll in.

December always is the busiest month over here. From decoration to Christmas shopping to attending and hosting holiday parties there is a little time left to visit advent markets or go on a Christmas themed dinner cruise.

So let´s see if I can remember the whole month:

Party:

Our annual holiday party has been on the last day of November. Celebrating the Christmas time with our close friends is always something I look forward too cause it is so much joy and fun laughing and talking together. View our tablescape here.

The Line Dance Christmas party has been on a usual training day which means it was on a Monday evening but that was alright with me since we always train on those nights. So it has been lots of dancing plus food.

Florian´s grandmas birthday is on the 5th of December so family is always coming together there for spending the afernoon or evening together.

The next dinner party we celebrated was actual Christmas Eve at Florian´s parents house. We always exchange presents, head to church and have lasagna afterwards followed by chatting way past midnight.

Family Christmas dinner is always at our house at the first holiday. I cook a four course menu and everyone can enjoy themselves while eating and chatting and drinking fine wine. Here is my table decor for this feast, fashionable in pink, black and gold.

Travel:

For some reason we skipped our December travels last year but we are back on track this year visiting the huge and phenomenal advent market in Leipzig and also took a look at their landmarks during the three days we stayed there. We found a shopping centre that´s like a mini version of the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele from Milan called Mädler Passage.

The whole city is decorated with lights and garlands and it is just such a festive atmosphere. Be sure to check out my Leipzig travel guide coming very soon.

Food:

The only real dinner we had this month (besides homecooked food) was a 4-course dinner cruise we participated. The interior is fully made of glass and Swarovski crystals and was overall super sparkly and christmassy. I have to admit I have never been on a dinner cruise before and I was a little nervous. View the post including pictures of our dinner cruise here.

If you are in the German area be sure to check out the advents markets. Every city has one and the food they sell couldn´t be more different. From tartes to roasted almonds to different sausages to gingerbreads and pastries is a thing for two for everyone.

Sales:

The H&M after Christmas sale is my most favortie sale of the whole year. So many pieces which just got into stores are discounted pretty high online on the days between Christmas and NYE. Be sure to check out their page.

Shopping:

To say I didin´t shop for myself would be a lie but about 90% of all my shopping this month has been Christmas related. Whether it was decor or presents. But I got a few things for myself while in Leipzig at Sephora and the Zalando Outlet Store.

Watching:
Besides all the Christmas movies there hasn´t been anything new I have watched on Netflix but we are going to see the new Mary Poppins Returns movie in the cinema tonight.

Thanks for staying with me until the end. This has been a long review but it also has been a long month. Now I am planning on new content and new post ideas and also have to finish painting our bedroom.

Casual Sunday #36 and our day at the Bunte Beauty Days in Munich….

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I has been quite a while since a little update around here (besides my usual posts) so today´s will be a little longer – which means get yourself a hot cup of delicious smelling coffee first – as there is a lot to tell but first of all “Happy Saturday”.

Watching:

Since I am in total Christmas mood, almost done with decorating the house, I am of course watching Christmas movies already. I can only use watch Netflix (wanted to subscribe to the Hallmark Channel but it isn´t available in my area – really sad day) so since there aren´t as many movies available for Christmas I have only seen Christmas with the Kranks and Christmas with a View and I am definitely going to watch The Spirit of Christmas again.

Eating:

I have to admit we do not eat out as much as we used too and I don´t know exactly why because it is not about the money and also not that we don´t like the food that restaurants offer anymore. I guess it is just because we are getting cozy in the colder months and also love to enjoy a homecooked meal.

But on Halloween we went out on a date night (hadn´t been on one since our honeymoon in September) and reserved a place at our favorite Indian restaurant in the city called Taj Mahal. It is super old. My mum has eaten there when she was young so I think they might be in business at least 30 years from now. We always eat the same dish number 65 called Murgh Masala – chicken with fragrant rice and a sauce so delicious and a little spicy. We also order a nan – an Indian flatbread – to make sure there is no drop of sauce wasted.

Last week we also headed out to another restaurant we love with my SIL and her boyfriend – the Beach House. They have Californian kitchen and such a fashionale and modern place. We also love the open cooking space cause the food smells so good. I always have the chicken caesar salad with sweet potatoe fries and guacamole and Florian mostly eats a burger cause they are so juicy and tasty.

Cooking:

I made these spinach-ricotta-feta filled pancakes the other day and we where positively surprised cause they tasted really great. Definietly gonna make them again.

I also tried the most baked recipe on the Internet – the pumpkin chocolate chip cookie. If I liked it and how it went is to find in Friday´s post.

Also still trying to find the perfect turkey gravy for Thanksgiving and time is running out so if you have any suggestions please tell me.

Eventing:
My SIL and I attended the Bunte Beauty Days in Munich two weeks ago and had a total blast. It was a trade show all about beauty, how to prevent aging of your skin, you could get all dolled up with a new makeup look or sit and listen to presentations and also have a look at the newest products which weren´t store at that time. They had the new Dyson hair tools and lots of Arabian cosmetic brands. We made lots of pictures and great memories and overall had a really great day there. It is an annual trade show which takes place in Munich every year.

Shopping:

Since I am planning on repainting and remodelling our bedroom at the beginning of next year I am already looking for some new decor pieces and H&M Home never disappoints. I have found so many beautiful things in their online shops for every room in our house.

Also already started Christmas shopping. Only need a few more things but I am gonna wait on the Black Friday deals for that (post follows).

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Casual Saturday #35…

Hi guys,

it has been a while since I have done a Casual Saturday post. Time is really flying.

So let´s see what I have been up to the last weeks.

I had my bridal bruch three weeks ago and my bachelorette weekend last weekend. There is so much wedding stuff going on at the moment and I am in pure bliss. I really am not stressed out at all. I have a schedule, ordered everything by time. Already adjusted everything for the big day so there are only TWO!!! things left to do. It is incredible. Party planning throughout the years has paid off in my opinion.

So let´s see what I have discovered recently:

Drinks // I recently discovered the San Pellegrino lemonade series. I am not a sucker for soft drinks at all (all I usually like is a Diet Coke) but I love these. They are more on the fruity than on the lemonade side so extra point for that and the other thing is I don´t find them to sugary at all. We have tried orange, lemon and pomelo so far. Can´t wait to get the other two.

Shopping // I already started on styling fall looks cause I am so excited that it finally got cooler. I am really done with summer, the heat, the flood of insects, I am sweating all the time and everything starts to stink in a minute. You can see I am over it right!!! That is why the minute it started raining and to cool down I got my pumpkin spice candle and guess what – I missed the smell so much.
Loved this bag – the orange is the perfect fall color. Also this longsleeve is going to be perfect for transitioning into fall and who wouldn ´t love this black jeans??!!

Reading // Two days ago I started a new book. It is called White Lies. It is about an doctor for mental ill patients who is getting reminded of her dark past and all her lies by a patient very soon. It took me a while to get into it but I am going to go through with it since the reviews where so great.

Blog Posts // I loved home decor posts this week. The big girl´s room Emily has created for her daughter Capri is so pretty. Everything is in white and blush pink. Just adorable. Also the dining room reveal from Mara of MLovesM – so beautiful. Got some real maritime flair over there. Like you are right at the ocean. So so nice.

Watching // I have finished season two of Queen of the South and now I have to wait about one year for season three. Also have watched Set It Up on Netflix and I really liked it a lot. The Neflix made movies are also very nice to watch. So I might browse through their library a little.

Wishing you guys a nice weekend. We are at home and I made some homemade stew and we are watching old seasons of Modern Family for the rest of the evening.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
