Casual Saturday #1….

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Post contains affiliate Links-not sponsored)
I am starting a „Casual Saturday“ posts series today. I was thinking about how I could give you a little more information on what I am doing or what I like which is not related to fashion but still shows who I am and what I like to do. Not everything about that is breathtaking but maybe you are interested in more information of our habits and go-to places.

Let´s see …

TV:
We finished Big little lies on Sky last weekend and I must admit first I had second thoughts if I would like it but after the second episode I was blown away and I loved it. Florian also liked it and we guessed back and forth which one of them could be the murdered one. Fantastic!!

Now we are on Season 2 of The Good Wife on Netflix which I really like a lot but there are already 7 seasons and no sign of stopping.

Food:
I found a new recipe which I immidiately tried out because I was so curious if I could do this too. The caprese stuffed balsamic chicken by cookingwithmima.This was so easy and so delicious. I made a salad with the rest of the dried tomatoes and baked potatoes as a side dish.

We also went to an Italian restaurant for dinner last weekend because Florians uncle who works in the Arabian Emirates came by for a visit. I had a seafood plattern which was beyond good – didn´t expect that since it was such a small restaurant.

I made chocolate chip cookies for Sunday. I got this recipe from High Road in High Heels and they turned out perfect. This really is the perfect cookie recipe and I just can recommend it to anyone else. Easy and so delicious!

House:
We bought a grill for the patio so this is coming together (very slowly) – I am doing a post about that when we are totally done (we also have a solar light in the shape of a flamingo – love this one, a few plant pots and a planter staircase with colorful little plant pots). We also headed to Ikea to get a table with matching chairs set. Our car hasn´t been this full for quite a while now.

And I am still looking for some things for our office at home. I wanted to shoot an office tour way earlier but in fact we used this room as storage room during the Winter months so I had to clean up first before I could overlook what is still missing but this is coming to an end very soon.

I ordered a new rug from Otto – a white one with colorful splashes – for my dressing room.

Thinking about getting another one for our bedroom.


So there was just furniture this week. I hadn´t even time to look at anything else. No drug store tour 🙁 or anything else.

Music:
I ordered a old Taylor Swift CD from Amazon (as she still isn´t on Spotify), the album is called RED. I loved to listen to it earlier but I couldn´t find it after I moved. Now I am singing to songs like „The lucky one and Red in my car (only with the windows closed). Although I haven´t found anything new which I really liked.

Hobby:
I got my bronze badge in Line Dance last Saturday. So cool. I am so happy cause I was so nervous upfront. We had to dance three dances to different songs and the jury decided whether you made it through or not. Since it was „only“ bronze the expectations and ratings weren´t that high but it was still exciting.

I am hosting a big family Easter brunch today so I am already busy cooking and decorating while you are reading. I am using the table scape I posted here. Tomorrow is gonna be a post free day – we are heading to another Easter brunch – so we´ll see each other back on Monday.

 So cheers to the weekend. 

Thanks for stopping by.
Take care. See you.

Hi dolls,

Spring
is right ahead of us I can feel it, I can smell it – don´t you think
too that you can smell Spring in the wind ?! – the flowers are starting
to bloom and the grass is getting greener everyday. This all gets me
really in the Easter mood. Some weeks ago Florian´s mom had her birthday
and I picked up a nice bouquet of flowers at our local florist.
They had the cutest Easter decoration pieces I have seen in a while.
Beautiful rabbit figures and matte and shiny metallic ceramic eggs.
Little wooden sticks for your flower pots in different pastell colors. I
was so overwhelmed that I first had to think about a color theme for my
Spring and Easter decoration. I went with pink and orange with pops of white. This is such a nice, fresh and poping color combination for Easter.

Der
Frühling ist da meine Lieben. Ich kann es fühlen und ich finde man kann
es riechen – es liegt in der Luft. Die Blumen fangen an zu blühen, dass
Gras wird jeden Tag grüner, Das alles bringt mich so richtin in Oster-
und Frühlingsstimmung. Vor ein paar Wochen hatte Florians Mama
Geburtstag und wir haben in unserem örtlichen Blumenladen einen schönen
Strauß zusammenstellen lassen. Und in der Wartezeit hab ich die süßesten
Osterdekosachen entdeckt die man sich nur vorstellen kann. Kleine
Häschen in weiß und rosa. Verschieden große metallisch glänzende oder
matte silberne Eier. Kleine Holzspieße für Bumentöpfe in verschiedenen
Pastellfarben. Ich war so überwältigt bei den ganzen verschiedenen
Dingen und Farben das ich mir erstmal ein Farbthema für meinen
Ostertisch ausgedacht habe. Ich hab mich für Pink und Orange entschieden
mit weißen Details. Die Farbkombi ist richtig popping und frisch für
den Frühling.

Carrot Cake Recipe – Ingredients:

Dough:
–
– 375 gr. of carrots – grated
– 250 gr. of flour  
– 2 tsp. baking soda
– 200 gr. of sugar
– 1 tsp. cinnamon
– 250 ml. of rapeseed oil
– 4 eggs
– 200 gr. of almonds (grounded)

Put all the ingridients together and stir until you have a smooth mass.
Bake for 40 minutes by 180 degrees. 

Frosting:
– 300 gr. of cream cheese
– 100 gr. of powdered sugar
– 1 pck. of vanilla sugar
-lemonjuice    

Put all the ingridients together and stir until you have a smooth mass. Spread over the cake and take a spatula to produce a sleek finish.

– marzipan carrots for decoration

Et voila. Perfect cake for Easter. Florian loves this one so I am going to bake it a little more often.

(The dress is going to be in a separate post soon)

Thanks for stopping by.

Take care. See you.

Staying at home….

Keine Kommentare



Hi dolls,

 during the years and getting older (I am not old now but I am also getting older too) I beacame such a homebody. If you would have asked me a few years ago I never would have prefered spending a Saturday or Sunday at home than going somewhere day and night but I think that time has mostly passed. I like going out for dinner or at birthday parties and motto parties but I like to be at home at midnight and not until 4 in the morning. 

I like it cozy on Saturdays. Making a big breakfast for us. Enjoying my coffee while reading the newspaper, my beloved Instyle magazine or browsing through different blogs on the internet. Also a few years ago I would go to the mall, to lunch and to coffee on one day which means stress to me now – rushing from one apointment to another.  
I can clearly say I enjoy my time at home more now than some years ago and especially since we moved into the house and we are ready now with the furnishing. 
Here are some of my favorite cozy things I like to use and to wear staying at home.

Blanket – bonprix / Pullover – H&M  / Socks – H&M
 
Thanks for stopping by.
Take care. See you.

Happy birthday to me….

Keine Kommentare

Hi everyone,

today
is really just a quick post cause I am celebrating my birthday today
and Florian has planned some awesome things for me besides having a
great breakfast and opening my presents.

Heute gibt es nur einen kurzen Post, da ich heute Geburtstag habe und Florian ein paar Dinge geplant hat neben Frühstück und meine Geschenke öffnen.

We already went out for my birthday dinner yesterday becaue the restaurant I wanted to go so bad has closed every Sunday since January – really bad timing. Also I figured out my top 5 restaurants for our city now, so I am planing on doing a reccomendation post for you guys in case you are ever to my area.
I got this great birthday balon I already wanted last year unfortunately I did not celebrate my birthday last year because I was ill, so I had to wait another full year. And waiting for something doesn´t count to my strenghts. 

Wir haben bereits gestern mein Geburtstagsessen gemacht, da das Restaurant zu dem ich unbedingt wollte hat am Sonntag Ruhetag – schlechtes Timing. Jetzt habe ich auch meine Top 5 Restaurants für Regensbug zusammen. Ich plane darüber einen Post für euch falls Ihr mal in der Nähe seid.

Diese Jahr habe ich auch einen Geburtstagsballon bekommen. Ich wollte ja unbedingt letztes Jahr schon einen, aber ich habe meinen Geburtstag nicht gefeiert da ich krank war. Das heißt ich hab nochmal ein ganzes Jahr warten müssen und das Warten gehört wirklich nicht zu meinen Stärken. 

 

So I am wishing everybody a happy Sunday and see you tomorrow.
Take Care. See you.
