My problem with reading…
I have loved reading as a child I just lost interest and time when I got older. My adult life simply left no time to concentrate on a book long enough to actually finish it. Unfortunately I read less and less. During last years Christmas break (it feels weird to say that 2022 was last year doesn’t it?) I actually had enough time again to pick up a book. Lo and behold I finished it, started a second one, finished it and then even read a third book! Can you belive it? I felt like I was 14 years old again grinding through City of Heavenly Fire in one night,…

TWO YEARS LATER …
It‘s now nearly been two years… … since I came back from England. In February 2020 the growing Covid numbers forced me to hop on a plane and return back home. I wasn‘t ready. One day I was sure to have at least 4 months left of my aupair year, the next I was already at the airport. Life is crazy I guess. Now being back home for almost two years I have finally started uni and moved out, but even though I‘m happy where I am right now, it still feels like I‘m behind in a way. While I was in England my friends started studying, apprenticeships, celebrated birthdays…

MY THOUGHTS ON GIFTS…
‘Tis the season … … for gift giving. I love giving and receiving gifts, just the same. For me it’s an act of showing the people I love that I care for them and think about them. I do think however, that we really have to overthink the way we handle presents. There are three things I just can’t understand are so frowned upon. It’s ok to have wishes … … and tell your loved ones about them! Everybody has wishes, I’m sure you’ll be able to think about a few ones if you try. Maybe that bottle of your favourite gin that you’ve been meaning to buy for a…

AUTUMN THOUGHTS…
I‘m so ready for autumn … …of course I don’t know about you but I literally can‘t wait for the leaves to start falling down, sitting on the sofa watching old movies all cosy wrapped in a blanket and drinking a pumpkin spice latte at my favourite café. My wool skirts and coats are ready to be worn and my sandals are stored away with my summer dresses and tops. Autumn has always been one of my favourite seasons, because for me it is a time to calm down, gather myself and just get ready for what the rest of the year has in store for me. Simply a time…

A LOOK INTO THE FUTURE…
It’s been a struggle lately … …to really focus on what’s coming next. With everything going on, I feel like planning is impossible to do and all that’s left is concentrating on the moment. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, but sometimes it would be nice to escape the crushing present and hideaway in a possible future. My best friend always has my back and even in this case, without knowing it, she helped me. For my birthday she got me a nice box full of lots I can open, whenever I feel like I’m in need of some inspiration or an activity for the day. I drew and the…

MY BOOK LIST…
I used to be an avid reader, finishing a book in only a few days when I was younger. Unfortunately the older I got the less I read. I tried to read before sleeping but I never really came far so I basically just gave up. Lately however I realised that reading during the day was actually a fun thing to do and really took my mind off things. I bought some books I’ve had my eye on for some time and gave it a try. What shall I say? My bookshelves are full again… Here are a few picks from my list, some of which I’ve read, some of…
