Valentine's Day II Fashion & Thoughts

Love is ...

I've seen all these "Valentines day Memes" on Facebook and all my hopeless single friends commenting on them a lot lately, which made me realize that there are way to many people out there who feel bad about themselves because they are single (especially on valentine's day). 

So let me tell you something, personally I don't think you should feel bad or upset about it. 

Valentine's Day is supposed to be the day you spent with the love of your life, but did you ever realize that love is not only about that one person? Don't get me wrong, it is amazing to have that one person who you can spend every minute with... But what about your friends and family? 

Let the people you love know that they mean something to you. Make yourself happy, make them happy, send flowers to your best friend, spend time with your other single friends and simply have fun. Feel good about yourself.

To me, Love is love. It's difficult to find the right words, but love is simply love, love means something different to each one of us. And even if you sometimes feel alone, sad and lonely, there will always be love, you might just don't know it. Love can cause heartbreak, love can be the best feeling in the world, but all in all love is love.

Be the reason someone smiles today. Spread love.

rainy days II Lifestyle

things to do on a rainy day

"Let's get lost in a world made of books, coffee and rainy days."

It has been raining a lot lately and to be honest I did not know what to do anymore. Sure you can go shopping or to the cinema, spend your time in cute little coffee shops. But sometimes it's good to take some time for yourself. So today I'm going to share my favourite things to do on a rainy day with you. 

journaling

As you may know I started bullet journaling a couple of months ago and I just love it. (article here) Writing my thoughts on paper, always helps me to reflect on my life, to get inspired and to relax in some way.


books

There's literally nothing better than to sit inside near the fireplace with a cup of tea, fuzzy socks, a cosy blanket and your favourite books. The sound of rain and the heat of the fire always make me feel so comfortable in my own skin.


music

You may know that music means a lot to me, if not click here to read the whole article. Anyway I do have some artists and bands which I really like to listen to whenever its raining. So on Spotify (_mademoisellecoccinelle_) I have created this playlist called cozy evenings which contains a great number of my favourite songs that help me to come down and to relax.

ME-time

As I told you before, I think that it's very important to take some time for yourself. Give yourself a break, your stress level will go down and you will have some time to recharge your batteries. Hot baths, candles, tea, music, a good book and some nice products are basically all you need to relax.

Tumblr

Tumblr (everythingseemssomagical), as well as some other social platforms such as Pinterest , we heart it,.. are great to find new inspirations. Personally I really like to cuddle up in my bed with good music and my laptop. I always come up with some new ideas, motivation to create more and the power to step out of my comfort zone.

childhood movies

As a child, I always used to watch movies with my little brother. Now that we're older, we still enjoy to cuddle up on the couch with our favorite childhood movies whenever it's rainy outside.

My favourites:
- Another Cinderalla story
- Camp Rock
- Princess Protection Program
- High School Musical
- Hannah Montana the movie

Music. II Thoughts

What does music mean to you?

I've been thinking a lot about the purpose of music, lately. I started thinking about what music means to me, I asked my friends and came to the conclusion that music plays a very important role in our life. So today I just wanna share some thoughts with you.

Everybody relates in a different way to music and we all have a different music taste. Please don't judge anybody because of their music taste, you'll never know why this kind of music means so much to some people. So don't be silly and narrow-minded, just accept it. 

Don't follow the hype. Be different. Listen to what makes you happy. 

Personally I don't think I'd have come this far without music. Music is my therapist, my inspiration. Music makes me realize that I'm not alone. It helps me to calm down and relax for a moment. All in all music understands me, my sadness, my emotions, my happiness,..  The lyrics reflect how I feel. 

Music is.. music is my world, I know this sounds ridiculous, but maybe it's the truth.

Music has changed my life. I may be the one who's excited to get to know somebody's favourite song even though I don't have one. My mind partly consists of music lyrics, but hey I'm a teenager and somehow the lyrics become one with me.

Music changes your mood, and makes you feel something. 

Generally I think that music is all we have, and all we'll ever be. We connect different songs with different memories. We give songs the power to influence our life.

There are no real words to explain the power of music, or why music makes us feel all these different emotions, music is simply amazing! Music is magical. Music is happiness, music is your heart, your pulse.

Let me know your thoughts in the commments!

See you soon,

"Music is what feelings sound like."

New year, New bullet journal II Life

my bullet journal set up 2017

Bullet journaling - the art of keeping your life organised, without using countless notebooks at the same time. A couple of months ago I stumbled upon the term of bullet journaling and thought I could give it a try. So today I wanna share my set up for 2017 with you.

But before we start, I would like to explain what a bullet journal is, so all in all it's a notebook, planner sand diary combined in only one single book. You're the designer, every bullet journal is individual, you can use any colors you want, any notebook, just get creative.

It's pretty easy actually and it makes in my opinion a lot of fun. In some way it really helps me to get my life together and relax.

My tools

• Leuchtturm 1917
• Staedtler pigment liner 0.1 / 0.3
• Tombow Dualbrushpens
• Copic ciao markers

My Set-Up 

As I told you before the concept of a bullet journal is to keep track of your day-to-day life and get organised. Therefore you will need to set up your own index, key, future log, ... Below you will find my different pages, logs and tracker. But please note that I've been inspired by many other bloggers and that your bullet journal don't has to look like mine does. Find out what works best for you and just get organised.
