christmas nail art

This is a short nail art tutorial (Instagram: @xtutorials) and I really like it and and it's kind of cute actually so I thought it's perfect because it's almost Christmas and many girls want to paint their nails for Christmas but don't know how they want it to look like...
This design is also very easy to do and I think I'm gonna try it today. ♥

eyeshadow

I found this picture on Instagram (@diy_and_ideas) and I kind of like it and I think that it might help a lot.
My favorite eyeshadow color is a special brown/gold nuance, I just love natural colors for the eyes!
In my opinion everyone can wear them. My eyes are a mix of blue, green and brown, nobody's really sure...
Maybe this picture inspires you for new ways of wearing make-up. ♥

movies

Do you know these days where you simply want to be at home and watch a good movie?

There are so many amazing movies but not everyone knows them.

I want to help you if you are in such a mood at the moment - These are some of my favorite movies and maybe you don't know all of them so you can watch one of them and decide if you love it as much as I do or if it isn't the kind of movies you prefer. ♥

1. Mean Girls (I made almost all of my friends watch this one - even some guys watched it!)

  

2. She's the man

3. Pitch Perfect

4. Cyber Bully

5. Bring it on - In it to win it

I hope you like at least one of them, and there are so many good movies but I had to choose 5 of them. Do you have any good movie suggestions for me? ♥

women

A friend of mine sent me this text about women someday and I thought that I should share it.
Originally it was in german so I hope that I didn't make any mistakes when I translated it into english...

But everything in that text is true, right? ♥

WOMEN

I don’t read instructions - I press buttons until it works.

I don’t need alcohol to be embarrassed – I’m already awkward enough when I’m sober.

If I was a bird, I knew exactly who I would shit on first!

I 'm not bitchy - I'm "emotionally flexible".

The most beautiful words in the world? - "I'm going shopping."

I have no quirks! - These are special effects!

Women have to look like ...WOMEN, not like wallpapered bones!

Forgive and forget ? - I'm not Jesus , neither I have Alzheimer's.

We women are angels . And if one breaks our wings , we keep flying - on a broomstick! We are, after all, flexible.

This is not fat! – It’s erotic area!

When God created men, he promised that great men will be found at every corner... and then he made the earth round !

On my grave stone should stand: "Don’t goggle so stupid, I would also prefer to lay at the beach ! "

Well, WE WOMEN are just unique.

must read: the fault in our stars

Today I want to tell you about my favorite book - "The fault in our stars" by John Green.

It's about a girl who is prognosed with cancer. Hazel (the girl) is always at home and doesn't really have any friends. Then her parents want her to meet a group of teenagers that gets together once a week. They all have cancer so they talk about it and try to get better. Hazel doesn't want to go but in the end she does it for her parents. There she meets Augustus. He doesn't have cancer anymore but he is there to support a friend. Then the exhilarating and moving love story begins.

I think that everyone should've read it at least once in their life. You really think about it when you finished reading and you learn something for life - that book changed my life.

And I own (almost) every book that John Green wrote in his life and they are all amazing!

All I can do is recommend to read it, you won't regret! ♥

diy: cereal box drawer dividers

This post is a "diy"-post. (For the ones who don't know what that means, it's a abbreviation for "do it yourself".) So this is a short diy-tutorial I made for you.

I thought that you don't need a description to understand it, but if you do just ask!

The boxes are perfect for those who don't know where to put all of their pencils (etc.) or just want their desk to be a little organised or tidy. I think it's very practical because you have one place for everything so you don't have to look for a pencil every single time you need one and they look cute and you can decorate them in so many ways. Hope you like it! ♥

cupcakes

Everyone likes cupcakes or at least the way they look like, right?
But not everyone knows a good recipe, so here's one for you that I found in an american cupcake book - I love that recipe so much! It doesn't take long and is so easy!

They are just so fluffy and taste a little like vanilla. ♥

(You can buy the book here if you like the recipe --> 500 Cupcakes)

think pink cupcakes

for the cupcakes:

1 cup (2 sticks) sweet butter, softened

1 cup granulated sugar 

2 cups cake flour

2 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. salt

4 large eggs

1/2 cup buttermilk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

for the frosting:

3 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted

1 cup (2 sticks) sweet butter, softened

Pinch of salt

(Pink food coloring)

(Silver candy balls)

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Place 18 paper baking cups in muffin pans. Combine all the cupcake ingredients in a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer until smooth and pale, about 2 to 3 minutes.

Spoon the butter into the cups. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove pans from fromm the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Then remove the cupcakes and cool on a rack.  

To make the frosting, cream the confectioners' sugar, butter, and salt with an electric mixer until smooth. (Add a few drops of food coloring, and mix well.) Spread the frosting liberally onto the cooled cupcakes (and sprinkle with silver balls).

Store unfrosted in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

That's one of the many cupcakes I made

I hope you try and like it as much as I do! ♥

perfect lip care

Do you want to have soft lips but don't really know what's the best lip balm?

Then you should check out Baby Lips® - Lip Balm By Maybelline!

I just totally love that stuff! I have two of them, "Cherry me (015)" and "Quenched (005)". 

It depends on what kind of tastes you like but they all taste so good - I don't know how I could live without them all the years before!

My lips have never been that soft!

They also colourize your lips a little, but not too much.

That's perfect for every situation, also for school for sure.

I think you should try them and convince yourself ♥
