Matching the rainy weather II Fashion

Hey, I hope you're doing well. As you can imagine the weather is really bad and strange at the moment here in Luxembourg. It is already June and although I'm not living in a city next to the beach where the sun always shines, it should already be warmer outside. Waking up each morning with no idea what to wear is very annoying, even if the sun shines in the morning it can start raining 5 minutes later. So this is my look which matches the rainy luxembourgish weather pretty well (in my opinion). I hope you like it.

See you soon,

Brownies II Food

recipe

Hello, today I'm back with a new recipe, this time I'm going to show you how to create these delicious chocolate brownies. My passion for baking started a few years ago when I had to bake some macarons for school with a good friend of mine. And this was actually one of the first things that I've ever baked, so I'm very happy to share this recipe with you. Enjoy.

You will need ...

• 200g dark chocolate
• 125g butter
• 110g sugar
• 3 eggs
• 55g flour
• 1 tbsp vanilla sugar
• 1 tsp salt
• you can also add some nuts or chocolate chips if you want

Directions:

1. Prehead the oven to 180°C.
2. Firstly you have to melt the dark chocolate with the butter, you can do this eighter on the stove or in the microwave. But make sure that the chocolat is well melted.
3. Put the eggs, the vanilla sugar and the normal sugar into a bowl and mix it all together until it's good combined. Then it's time to add the flour and the melted chocolate.
4. Now you can add the chocolate chips and the nuts if you want or simply let this step aside.
5. Finally you can put your mix into a baking pan. Put it in into the oven and bake for about 20 minutes.
6. Let them cool for about 1 hour before serving.
7. Enjoy! 

See you soon,

Best of May 2016 II Beauty & Lifestyle

Good morning, I hope you're having an amazing weekend with hopefully better weather than it's here in Luxembourg at the moment. May is already over and so it's time for my monthly favorites. Isn't it crazy how quickly the last five months  passed by? I mean it's June, so we're already halfway through 2016. Anyway, I hope you like this post.

Beauty:

Rituals - the ritual of karma bed & body mist

Summer vibes everywhere this month although the weather was very very bad (rain all day long), I really enjoyed using this body mist. The smell is so amazing, I like it.

Naked 3 (color: liar & factory)

This two colors from the Naked 3 palette by Urban Decay were definately my favorites. "Liar" is more kinda like something in between brown and red and the color "factory" is a very beautiful dark brown.

essence lipliner nr. 06 & lipstick nr. 05

This combination was my absolute favorite this month. They look very natural on your lips, but still makes them look beautiful and shiny.

Lifestyle & Highlights:

My beauty category is quite small this month and I also don't have a book favorite or a lot of new music for you. But I do have some hightlights that made this month unforgetable for me.

Let's start of with my vacation. Even though we went away for only 7 days, I had a lot of fun. I really enjoyed taking pictures and so also my Canon EOS 70D made it into this blogpost. Exactly one year ago I bought my camera and since that day my big love for photography started. I mean I also liked taking pictures before, but never as much as I do now. And also for those who wonder, yes I took a photography class this year and I'm very happy about it. 

Another big hightlight for me this month was my art portfolio which I finally finished last week.  I think I was never as creative before. I've been painting every free minute the last few weeks, but I'm very happy with my result now.  

Music:

Last but not least, we have my favorite category, although I kept listening to my two favorite playlists (alternative & summer vibes '16) on spotify (_mademoisellecoccinelle_) this month. I have two new publications for you. Firstly there is the new song "Yes Girl" from Bea Miller, which I think has the perfect summer sound. Secondly we have something louder: "I bring the weather with me" from TAA. I know that my music taste is not something for everyone but I hope that I can give anyone out there some inspiration.

Finally I just want to let you know that I'm now also on bloglovin & tumblr (link in my sidebar). So feel free and follow me if you want.

So that's it for this month.
See you soon,
