Travel Bag Essentials

Hey Guys!
Because I went on a little trip last weekend, I thought I'd show you what I like to keep in my bag, when I travel. Don't expect too much, because I don't put much stuff in it because I hate it when I have to carry a heavy handbag. But I hope you'll enjoy it anyway!

 The bag that I always take with me is from Zara and I think it's called something like "Zara office city" bag but I'm not sure.
The first thing I always keep in my bag is my phone and some headphones,
in case I want to listen to music or an audiobook. But I also always keep a real book with me. This time it was Divergent by Veronica Roth, and I know, I'm possibly the last person on this planet who reads this book, but better late than never.

 I also take along some tissues, a bottle of water, a deodorant, some chewing gum, a little makeup back (I'll show you what's in there later), a snack (I normally like to take nuts, but in this case I had rice cakes with me), some cotton rounds, and my bioderma face tonic/ make-up remover or how ever you want to call it. Normally I fill it in a smaller bottle, but I can't find that at the moment so I have to show you the big one.
And in case it gets cold, I always have a light sweatshirt with me. If your wondering, the light blue sweater with the roseprint on the picture is from Wildfox. My camera is normally in my bag too, but I took the photos with it.

Now to my litte make-up bag. In there, I keep a hand sanitizer (this one is from bath and body works in "island margarita"), a lipbalm (mine is the labello/ nivea lip butter in macadamia), a mascara (maybelline, the colossal volum' express in 100% black), a matte powder (rimmel stay matte) and a powder brush (real techniques), a blush (NYX, natural), a bodybutter that I can also use for my hands (sope&glory, the righteous butter), a BB-cream in case I have to look presentable (at the moment I'm testing the Garnier one) and a little perfume (this one is from Biotherm and is called "eau de paradis", which has a nice, light and fresh scent).

So, that were all of my travel essentials. I hope you enjoyed reading and tell us your travel essentials in the comments. I hope you all have a nice day. xx

Birthday Wishlist

I am turning 17 in a little less then two weeks and I thought that it would be interesting for you to see what I want for my birthday as I am always struggeling to actually come up with stuff that I could wish for.
This is a very random selection of stuff and I will update you with what I got if you are interested. Please let me know and I will do a birthday "haul".

Let's start of with the, for some boring, but for me most exciting things. Books. I am a huge bookworm and I read a lot. And by a lot I mean way too much and way too fast. You can give me a book with 700 pages and I will be done with it in the evening if I want to. So I have to stock up from time to time.

Lone Wolf by Jodi Picoult is on the top of my wishlist. I started reading it a little in a bookshop today and I completly fell in love. It was recommended to me by a woman standing next to me that saw that I was eyeing the John Green books to see if there was anything I hadn't read yet (there wasn't). She told me that if I liked John Green I would love Jodi Picoult and so I started reading the beginning of two books.
The Storyteller is another book by Jodi Picoult that also sound really interesting and I will give it a try but I want to read Lone Wolf first.

The girl who saved the king of Sweden by Jonas Jonasson is another book that caught my I first of all because of the amazing cover that attracted me and because of the title because it is rather odd. I don't know if you have heard of Jonasson but he also wrote the book the 100-year-old man who climbed out the window and went missing. I haven't read that book but my mother told me that it was a little weird but kind of good. The story of this book is interesting and I want to get into it.

Well there you have my few book choices. Three isn't a lot but maybe my family will come up with some other ideas.
(I was going to wish for Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn but then I realized that we already own that book and I will start reading it now.)

There are also a few beauty products that I am very interested in but I wouldn't buy them myself because they are a bit more on the expensive side.

The first one is the Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray. I have heard great things about it and I would love to try it myself but the price is a little over 20€ and that is kind of a lot.

Another thing that I would love to try is the Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer because I heard a lot of good things about it but it is very expensive.

Because Estée (Essiebutton) always raves about the Honey Bronzer from Body Shop I want to try it myself but I am too lazy to buy it myself as I already own two amazing bronzers.

I also would like to try the Body Shop Peach sented stuff because it smells great but I don't want to buy it for  myself because stuff like that is always more like a gift kind of thing.

The final beauty thing I am wishing for is the MAC Minerelized Skinfinish in Soft and Gentle. I am not a huge highlighter and I don't own any highlighter or blush, as I blush a lot naturally so I really don't need anything to enhance that. But I have heard such great things about this Highlighter that I have to give it a try.

Well this got longer than I expected it to be. If you want to hear a review to any of those products(If I should get them) please let me know. I would also love to do like little reading posts where I update you on what I am currently reading, what I am going to read and what I read and what I thought about it.
Have a lovely day. xx

March Favourites (Music, Book, Movie)

Hello everyone.
I am sorry for not posting very consistantly over the last week.
 I do not have a lot of time with school and all my other activities. But here I am creating another blogpost for you.
I went shopping today and bought a lot of stuff. But mostly workout related. Is anyone interested in me creating a blogpost about that kind of stuff?
But now since march is over I thought I would post a march favourite kind of thing. But not product related because I didn't try anything new in march. Just my same old stuff.
My make-up routine doesn't change at all (but I am not using very much. so that may be the reason why).
So here we go with my favourite songs of march (Workout and just what I liked to listen to), my favourite book and movie.

Music:
I started to go running a lot more in march since the weather got a lot better and you could go outside without a fleece and still freezing. Most of the time I like to run without music because I like to listen to stuff that is happening around me. That's alot more relaxing. Espessially when you are running in fields or the forest, which is my usual route. But sometimes I need something to listen to to get more motivated.

Best day of  my life- American Authors

Safe and Sound- Capital Cities

Get Lucky- Daft Punk

On top of the world- Imagine Dragons

Burn- Ellie Goulding

Sail-  AWOLNATION

Pompeii- Bastille

Those are probably like my favourite songs right now to workout to. It's funny that my music taste is actually a lot different but I can't workout to song that don't have a good and strong beat. That just doesn't work out.
So here are my random music favourites of the month:

Walk- Foo fighters

 Midnight City- M83

 little talks- Of monsters and men

Treasure- Bruno Mars

The Cave- Mumford & Sons

Mountain Sound- Of monsters and men


School was really stressing me out in march so I needed a few good books to keep me distracted when I just couldn't take it anymore. I did not buy any new books in march but I re-read some old favourites. If you read any of them, please tell me what you thought!
And also tell me if you want a review on any of them.

 Paper Towns- John Green ( I like this book a lot. It is my favourite from John Green)

The Fault in our Stars- John Green

The Bone Season- Samantha Shannon

Harry Potter and Divergent and the Hunger Games were also on my list. But I don't count them because I read them all the time.


 My favourite movie of the month is an old classic. Maybe some of you have watched it. If you haven't yet, do it! I love it!

Star Wars IV

It's great and old-school. If you like Science-fiction and stuff like that you will love that movie!

Well that's everything! let me know if you have any requests for me to do anything I would love to fullfill your requests.

Have a great weekend. xxx
