Monthly faves

LIFESTYLE🍃

Um...can you believe it's November? I feel like I just put up all my autmnal decor yesterday, and now it's almost time to replace them with christmas decor. At htis time of the month, it's time for my monthly favorites.

In beauty, I bought an eyebrow pencil recently. It has a brush at the end, and I was really exited when I bought it because it is exactly my shade. I feel like when I put it on, I look older. Not in a bad way tho.
I discovered kinda like a new look for me with it. I just leave out the mascara and instead I do my eyebrows. And that's it. I feel like eyebrows just really frame your face, and you don't really need the other stuff.


I like to experiment, and put myself up to a challenge, like going vegan, which I did last year for a month or so. Now I'm on a vegetarian challenge but I might swerve into vegan after a while. I'm trying out different sorts of food that replace the normals, I guess. I really got into the Soya and Coconut milk thing, and that is my favorite. I bought a Coconut/Chocolate Milk and it tastes delicious. Since yesterday I'm trying a new one that is Soya/Vanilla and it's tasty but not my favorite because it's too sweet for my taste.

My favorite interior are picture frames. It may sound weird but I bought them and they're just those glasses as cover and no actual frame. Idrew some pictures last week and I wanted to put them up on my wall, and because they have a kinda specific style to them I thought that a huge frame would just distract.
I bought them in a store called TIGER and they were only 1 euro!!

Music. I love music and I feel like so much new music came out this month, it's really hard to decide. I've already shared my Halloween playlist and that is basically all I've listened to this month. But my favorites from that playlist are Twin Size Matress by The Front Bottoms. I saw the quote "With tears in my eyes I begged you to stay, you said hey man I love you but now fucking way" on tumblr a lot, I loved it and found out it's that song. It's just a bonus that it's now one of my favorites. iTunes
Another facorite is the new album by 5 Seconds of Summer. It's different to the first one and you can actually hear how they've matured and how you can amazing songs when you exprerience and see the world. SGFG

What I Like

weekly FAVORITES

Hey guys!
Today: Tell me your favorite "fall candle scent" in the comments :)
So like every Sunday I'm going to show you my favorites today. It's not the regular favorites post where I show you random stuff I enjoyed this month. I will show you my favorites in five specific categories.

- favorite thing to watch
- favorite person
- favorite thing I did
- favorite piece of clothing
- favorite tumblr post
Then I'm going to rate each thing with hearts from one to five! ♥


1. Favorite thing to watch:
My favorite thing to watch is still Pretty Little Liars. In my last post I was in season 3...now it's season 5.
I have to say that it's not my favorite show, I've ever watched but I kinda like the tension that comes with it even though it stretches into infinity ans you still don't really know anything. No spoilers!!

♥♥

2. Favorite person: (On social media)
Is (again) a tumblr blog. I spoke about Geordie Gray in one of my previous posts before and only found out that she also has a tumblr blog. It's @mtvgeneration and it to me is really inspiring. I love that she answers so many asks and is really really honest.

♥♥♥♥

3. Favorite thing I did: 
This week I climbed up a mountain here in Germany, called Brocken. It's 1141 m high and we started at Torfhaus and walked up the route called "Goetheweg". It weirdly took us 2 hours to get up there but over three to walk back. But it was loads of fun and it's just kinda this "f*ck we did it feeling when you reach the top".

♥♥♥♥

4. Favorite piece of clothing:
I haven't bought any new clothes in quite a long time, but I'm about to head to Cologne this week to go shopping!
Until then I'm going to be wearing my good old fave. It's my Hard Rock Cafe shirt that I got in New York. It's just really classy, and goes with literally everything. (I'm pretty sure everyone knows how it looks like.)

♥♥

5. Favorite tumblr post:

So I'm on a break at the moment which means I have a lot of time for things like tumblr. That makes it really hard to decide on a favorite post in an entire week. I guess that's what you'd call first world problems..or probably just mine.

♥♥♥♥♥

I chose this because I was gone for a year and all my friends I
saw again this year told me how much I've changed.
(not necessarily in a bad way, I hope.) 

♥♥

I'm sorry this Sunday was so short, I was in a hurry but promise next week will be longer!!

Nut Wedges

TUESDAY

So I'm kinda swerving into the baking lane(?) and I found a new recipe book on the book shelf. I looked through it and found "Nussecken", and because it's almost Christmas, I guess, I made them. It got me into a really festive mood and I feel like it was a mistake to make them because it's mid October. But you can never be too early for Christmas baking!

-*250g flour

-*100g sugar

-*100g margarine

-*1 packet vanilla sugar

-*2 eggs

-*1 teaspoon backing powder

_ _ _ _ _ 

-1 jar apricot jam

-100g chopped almonds

-100g chopped hazelnuts

-3 tablespoons water

_ _ _ _ _ 

-200g bittersweet chocolate

First step:

Mix all ingredients (*) in a bowl until you get a stiff dough. You can knead it if it gets too hard.

Second step:

Grease the baking tray with margarine. (Don't forget the corners!)

Third step:

Place the dough onto the tray and smooth it out.

Fourth step:

Spread out the apricot jam onto the dough.

Fifth step:

Take the leftover ingredients and bring them to boil in a pot.

(Don't forget to stir them, they will get burnt quickly!)

Sixth step:

Spread the hot mixture on top of the apricot jam.

Seventh step: 

Put the tray into the oven at 175C (~350F) for about 25-30 minutes.

Eighth step:

Take it out of the oven and let it cool down.

Ninth step:

Cut the dough into many little triangle shapes. But keep it on the tray.

Tenth step:

Melt the chocolate in a bowl on top of hot water.

Eleventh step:

Dip two corners of each nut wedge into the chocolate.

TADAA!

Tell me in the comments what your favorite fall/winter recipe is :)

If you bake the nut wedges, tag them with #k80cake on instagram so I can see them :)

Apple pie

MONDAY

Hi!
Throughout October I'm getting more and more into the autumnal vibe and because it's my favorite season it's not that hard.
Little update side note: I even started doing yoga. Firstly to kinda built up my lost flexibility again and secondly so I could contort my body into ridiculous shapes in order to make up for the lack of full length mirrors I have.

But anyways, today I have a recipe we already made twice this month, because it's so good.

What you need:

-1kg apples
_ _ _ _ _

-*150g Margarine   
-*100g Sugar
-*1 Egg
-*1 tablespoon Milk
-*300g Flour
-*2 teaspoons backing powder
_ _ _ _ _ 

-100g Sugar
-2 teaspoons cinnamon

First step:
take about 16 apples and peel them. Then cut them into thin slices.

Second step:
knead all ingredients with a star * to a shortcut in the same  order they are listed.
If it doesn't form into a smooth dough use your hands!

Third step:
take 2/3 of the dough roll it out and smooth it into a greased springform pan. pull up the edges.
put the other third into the fridge.

fourth step:
take the sliced apples and place them onto the dough in the pan.

fifth step:
mix 100g of sugar with the cinnamon and spread them on top of the apples in the pan.

sixth step:
get the leftover dough from your fridge and roll it out. layer it on top of the apples to cover them.

seventh step: 
put it in the preheated oven for about 60 minutes at 170C (~340F)

eighth step:
enjoy!

tell me in the comments if you liked it and tag the cake on instagram with #k80cake .

weekly FAVORITES

Hey guys!

So like every Sunday I'm going to show you my favorites today. It's not the regular favorites post where I show you random stuff I enjoyed this month. I will show you my favorites in five specific categories.
- favorite thing to watch
- favorite person
- favorite thing I did
- favorite piece of clothing
- favorite tumblr post
Then I'm going to rate each thing with hearts from one to five! ♥

1. Favorite thing to watch:

Staring with favorite thing to watch this week was Pretty little liars. We bought the third season this week (I know we're very far behind) and are watching it since then. Friday night we watched the first of six DVDs. We ordered some pizza, made the room pitch black, sat on the sofa and watched it. I love how it kinda started like the first season and how you still know kinda nothing. And I gotta say, that Hannah is rocking the new hairstyle! 

♥♥♥

2. Favorite person: (I follow on social media)

I watched a YouTube video and I loooved the clothes she was wearing, so I looked up where she got them from and it's this British (I believe) store. Lazy Oaf

I instantly fell in love with the first shirt I saw and I wish I had enough money to buy the entire store. I think now it's time for me to go to London again. Just for the single reason to spent my money in Lazy oaf.

Oh! and I also follow them on instagram now so that's why they're my favorite "person" I follow on social media this week.

Anyone wanna buy me this shirt??

 
♥♥♥♥

3. Favorite thing I did:
My favorite thing I did was getting 14 points (an A) in my first math exam of the year. It's probably a weird fave because I'm not a school fan at all I try to talk about as little as possible especially during break, but I was really happy and wanted to document it^^.

♥♥

4. Favorite piece of clothing:

My favorite piece of clothing is a kinda red/autumn-color sweater. I already have it in brown and it's my favorite sweater so I bought it again. Yes, I'm one of those people. It's from H&M and was 19,99 euro.

Sweater

♥♥♥♥

5. Favorite tumblr post:

I rebloggt this pic yesterday and it's my favorite because of the single reason that I am so exited for my concert, which is in 167 days 5 hours and 14 minutes. (I have a countdown on my phone!!!)

♥♥♥♥♥

Monthly faves

HALLO(ween)!! 🎃

I know I missed the last week because exam time started and I had to study. But I'm gonna catch up with my September monthly favorites now and get back into schedule. It's finally October, which is my favorite month of the year. And those Sundays are gonna be my favorite blog posts to write because of all my favorites. I looked back at my other monthly favorite and I said I can't believe it's almost September. Now I sit here in mid-October and I can't believe there are advent calendars in the store, and it's almost time for my October favorites again.

9/27:

So as usual I'm gonna start with beauty. As you may have noticed I'm not even close to being an expert in that field but I recently got into bronzer. In fall there is not much sun, at least where I live and I really missed my little tein. So I bought one and I actually really like it. I put some under my cheekbones and on my forehead.
I also got a new hand cream given to me, which is by CD. Now that your hands are dry and need extra care it leaves your hands smooth and is really affordable. And the company earns a plus because they are cruelty free, and I try as much as I can to cancel this cruelty in my live.

In fashion I rediscovered my ring collection. I store them in a little bowl I got from Hawaii and I just found the box. I'm pretty sure I have about 30 and most of them are really simple (and from H&M). But I feel like they are a great accessory that just goes with everything and you can dress them kinda up and down.
I also found a black turtleneck t-shirt. It is -again- from savers in the US but I thought it would be perfect for fall. It is not thick enough to be a jumper and the sleeves are too short, but definitely has jumper qualities.

Now, right behind fashion, food is one of the best things in October. Everything is warm and tastes like fall. It just makes the whole atmosphere a lot more cozy when you have a hot chocolate (or pumpkin spiced latte), some cookies and candles in front of you, while you sit on your couch in 200 blankets and watch a crappy movie. I didn't have time to make a autumnal cupcake recipe. But I already found one which is probably going to be another Wednesday post.

Since I'm back in Germany all my shopping trips also led me to NANU NANA, to fill up on my decor and interior. And that is where I bought 3 colorful bowls. They where only 3 Euros and they have different designs on them. One is turquoise with an orange edge. The other is light blue and orange and has an orange edge as well. The third bowl has dark blue diamond shapes and an orange edge. I also bought two little tea cups which are black and white. One with circles the other with little dashed lines. I bought three little plates from the same black and white range which I use as plats for my cacti.

The last part is music. I put up a post next Wednesday where I included my Halloween playlist where you can see what I listen to this month. So today I'm going to talk about my favorite music in September. I also have a playlist for that. I make a spotify playlist for every month and I name it after events that happened. That's how cool I am. I have one that is called back to black because someone ( I don't even remember) dyed their hair black that day, Oh and that was in June '15. In July I started a new playlist and the first song in it is Fourth of July by FOB. The Playlist is called Zummer 2015 and has about 70 songs in it. I stopped editing it on October 9th. And it's probably my favorite playlist I have. I love to compare it to my Summer playlist 2014 and than I'm always very proud to see how I went from charts to punk pop.
