Monthly faves

HALLO(ween)!! ðŸŽƒ

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.

Back to school


LIFESTYLE

Hello!!

Its the time of the year again where we go shopping for school. And because I've been in school for the last weeks again, I figured now would be a good time to show you what I bought for it.
So if you love everything crafty, stationary and pen and papery, read on!


So these are the main things I have in my back everyday
My bag is from Vans and it has a big pocket and has a smaller one in the front which is separated in pen holders, a zip and another section. (Sold out)


Then I also have my black notebook. I bought it for like 3$ in some street shop. It has graphic paper but I find it easier to write on it. It's really simple and I use it as planner and I just wrote a day on each page. I try to make it look nice and decorate it with what I have. I am really proud of the first page because I like how it turned out. I bought some t-shirts at primark and stickers with each design came with it so I popped them onto the first page. I bought a really flat mirror, and so I don't lose it I glued it on there as well. And then I of course have my little blog calendar, where I write each video I have have to upload and cross off each day.

Then I have a pencil case with just some stuff you need like pencil, marker, scissor and glue.
I bring my glasses but I almost never wear them. I only need them when we have to read entire pages and that is almost never the case. 
I also have my wallet which you've already seen in my what's in my bag post. (*≧ω≦)

What I Like

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:
This week I didn't really watch anything. Besides my school books, I watched some YouTube videos but they weren't the best. But what I did watch was the sunset this week, which was amazing! I took sooo may pictures and they look different everyday. Some day it was really orange and the other dark blue. The first days I took them with my phone until I realized that if I took them with my actual camera the quality would increase a lot. So I started doing that and this was one of the results:




2. Favorite person: (I follow on social media)
This week my favorite person is from twitter. Her name is Geordie (@djgeordiegray) I like her twitter a lot and I agree with a lot of her posts and we have a pretty similar mindset in general. She is really funny but also honest and we have the same taste in music which is just a big bonus.




3. Favorite thing I did:
Nothing really interesting happened this week because of school. But that actually brings me to my favorite thing (kinda). My school got 40 a couple of days ago so the entire school went out one hour and we all had balloons. Then there was a countdown and we let them go. I took some pretty rad photos.






4. Favorite piece of clothing:
My favorite piece of clothing is a grey turtleneck sweater. It is in this weird fabric but so soft. I bought it at savers (my favorite thrift store in the US) for like 3$. Because I have a cold it's really convenient that it has a turtle neck because then I don't have to wear scarfs...




5. Favorite tumblr post:
As you may have noticed I love the sky.

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:
 My favorite thing to watch this week was How I met your mother. I found a channel on youtube which the entire seasons 5 and 6 and so I watched all of them. Before I only watched HIMYM when it was on TV or something so I missed out on some episodes. Now I really watched like the entire story and know everything that happened.
(If you'd like to watch it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBYL0NCl0UTR8WDcHDtcnKQ)



2. Favorite person: (I follow on social media)
I always have to check my phone before I can answer this to see who's blog I reblogged most from or which person I followed on Instagram. This week it is a tumblr blog again. It's called cxiy and I firstly like the posts and secondly I really like how it looks when you're on your laptop. It reminds me of some film and you can just scroll down. 



3. Favorite thing I did:
My favorite thing I did this week was to go to my first ever electric guitar lesson. It was so much fun and I my teacher is amazing. When I left after an hour I couldn't stop smiling because it felt like I just went to a concert. He also told me about a download called TUXGUITAR. You can download tabs and then it plays them for you. You can add drums or any other instrument and then just play along.


4. Favorite piece of clothing:
The thing I liked this week was my red flannel from urban outfitters.. This week you never really knew if it was going to be hot or cold. I just rolled up the sleeves when it got too hot and it's really easy to combine cause it goes with everything really. SIMILAR


5. Favorite tumblr post:
I have been on tumblr a lot lately especially in the evenings after I finished my homework cause it's just a great way to relax for a bit. I've been writing a journal for about 2 years now. It's not really a journal. I write in it everyday but not about what I did or how I felt but sentences I heard somewhere that got to me or just a drawing that I liked. I really like this tumblr post and I'll probably copy it into my journal.

1. Favorite thing to watch:
My favorite thing to watch this month must be american horror story. I used to be really obsessed with it a couple of months ago and I recently got really into it again. I started in season 1 again and even though I kinda know the story line I jump every time something scary happens.



2. Favorite person: (I follow on social media)
My favorite person this week would be the tumblr blog thehappysong. I reblog many posts when they come up on my dash and the blog likes mostly all the bands I like.






3. Favorite thing I did:
Well because it was my birthday I'm twisting the question slightly and I'm gonna say favorite thing I got. And that would definitely be my electric guitar! It's a pacifica and it's black and white. I also got a VOX VT20+ speaker.





4. Favorite piece of clothing:
While I was at my grandparents at the end of last month we drove to the Netherlands for a day and went shopping. We were in Enschede and we went to Primark and many stores around. My favorite piece of clothing I bought was a scarf from Primark. It is in those really autumny colors and is huuuge. It could replace a picknick blanket, but I really like it and it's so soft.



5. Favorite tumblr post:
I haven't been on tumblr a lot lately 'cause school stared again a couple of days ago, so I scrolled a little down my own blog to see what I posted even though it wasn't one of the latest posts. I scrolled for a while and stumbled across two photos actually. Both are music related but what isn't really.
So the first one is my favorite female artist. Her name is Halsey and you should definitely check her out if you're into dark electro-pop.
The second picture is a lyric quote from a song called jet black heart. And I really like the quote and the song. It's a mid-tempo pop/rock track from 5 seconds of summer and this album the theme of the songs is not as positive and chirpy as the previous music. This time they do some critical self-reflection and creating the new broken scene with it. 

Halsey
