Carnival!

So remember that time of the year where I dress up? Well, it was that time of the year again! i love carnival, it's a great opportunity to be really creative and try out some costumes and make-up styles without any boundaries. it is actually socially acceptable to wear wigs and rhinestones, how could you not love that?!

For the first day I went as a zombie queen:

Yes, i might have overdone it with the fake blood.

Aaaand for the other days I went as Flora, goddess of bloom:

Unfortunately, I don't have any good pictures of the outfits but I tend to put the focus on the make-up anyway. 
Do you like to dress up? As what/who?

Have a great day!

Estonia Part 1

when my friend and I left Stockholm we continued our trip in Estonia. My friend Imke lived in Viljandi, the 5th biggest city in Estonia, for a year and I always wanted to know what the city (or rather the village) is like. I am very suspicious, though: I think she didn't take me to Viljandi but to Hobbiton! I mean, have a look:

Stockholm Part 2

First of all, I would like to welcome all those people that have started following this blog since the last couple of weeks, I hope you will enjoy some of my posts and find something to inspire you.

Now, let's go on with the holiday pictures. In Stockholm there is this lovely botanic garden that my friend and I visited. I wanted to share some of the pictures I took there with you even though I only have a mobile camera. My friend Imke took loads of beautiful pictures with her proper camera but I didn't have the chance to get them from her yet. Anyways, I hope you like them. It was great to stroll through the glass houses and the garden, I love plants of all kind and some were extremely impressive. They have the biggest sea rose in the world there but unfortunately, it didn't have any flowers when we visited.

What is your favourite flower or plant? I love sunflowers but I have a thing for herbs, too!

Have a great day,

I say love it is a flower

Spring is finally here, it's getting warmer, there are birds everywhere and one can spot the first flowers. Today, I went into our garden to cut a few flowers for my first attempt on pressing flowers. I thought I could share some photos I took yesterday to show you the beauty that is nature.

Here we go:

Have a great day,
