HELLO EVERYBODY, I was experimenting a bit in the kitchen just recently and as I had some leftover coconut milk, I figured it would be a nice idea to make a nice and simple dessert out of it. I was in the mood for something chocolate-y (but no pudding) and decided for a vegan chocolate dessert. And I was successful, it worked out perfectly despite being so simple and easy to make! You should try it!

Everything you need:

Just cut the banana in pieces and mix in the other ingredients. Mash or blenderize this mixture together and if it is too consolidated, add a few drops of water. That's it! You're done! Personally, I like to put the bowl into the freezer for a couple minutes, just to give it some extra freshness.

As you can see, I sprinkled a handful of oatmeal on top of the cream. Maybe (I just realized that), you could add a bigger amount of oatmeal and blend it into the mixture before using a mixer. It would have a saturating effect next to the sweet taste. I think I'll try that later!

HELLO EVERYBODY, as I announced in the last travel post, I would like to show you some photos of Jerusalem. I think I could do another post about it but for now we will keep it with that one.

The old city of Jerusalem, which I visited for the second time, is about 3000 years old and unites the three big world religions - Judaism, Islam and Christianity. The city is split into four neighbourhoods (with the Armenian one) and on the different corners you can find mosques, churches and synagogues. The buildings are, just as the city itself, very old but the charm they spread is incredibly beautiful! I really like the monumental buildings, made of light coloured stone and the small alleys with an abundance of shops and possibilities to taste the Israeli delicacies.

Although the Church of the Holy Sepulchre can be full of tourists, I can really recommend a visit! If you watch the building from the outside you might not immediatly expect what you come upon in the inside. The church is really contorted and that's why it seems to be small inside, because there are a lot of smaller sections one can walk through. After  my second visit I am still fascinated by it!

HELLO EVERYBODY, it's getting warmer outside, the flowers are starting to bloom, daylight lasts longer and one week ago it was the beginning of spring! As I ride my bike to school every day in the morning, the wind can be quite cold sometimes, soI always wear my headband. Nonetheless, those fluffy and cozy sweaters are slowly vanishing into the rear part of my closet.
Today's look is one I really like because on the one hand it combines my favourite colours blue, grey, black and white and on the other hand I think I succeded in combining the blue jeans with the blue-striped flannel. I have to admit that I wasn't really sure about a tonal style but now I will try something like this more often.

Scarf, Necklase | H&M

Flannel | Vintage

Schoes | Deichmann

Notebook | TK-Maxx
Jeans | Pimkie

The small details of this look are, by the way, my latest favourites. I fell in love with this minimalistic solid triangle necklace and also with the grey notebook. I was exactly looking for one in that size and now I finally can write down all my ideas when I'm on the road. I also tried matte nail polish for the first time and I have to say: I like it a lot. What do you think about it?

HELLO EVERYONE, After some time, Lea and I have finally managed to take photos of our outfits, one of which I'll show you now. It's a bit more wintery look - hopefully the last one for now. Here, spring is just around the corner which means soon we'll be able to replace the thick layers of clothes and the scarfs and boots with lighter jackets, cardigans and ankle boots or chucks. (Yey!)

As for now, I still chose to go with a (very fluffy) coat, combined with a burberry scarf and peg top pants and lots of plaid.

HELLO EVERYBODY, 3 weeks ago I went to Israel for the second time and it won't be the last time I guess. Besides the fact that I have some friends there now, the country in so beautiful and fascinating. Moreover, I haven't seen everything yet, since the two times I've been there I visited like the 'main sights' but I would love to see more small and unknown places. Not least because often they are the ones who show the true identity of the country. After this stay, my photo collection grew again and it's difficult for me to pic just some pictures but I hope you will like these impressions anyway and maybe you are a bit more curious after this blogpost!

As you might know from our German blog, our travel posts always consist of more parts and so today I will show you the big city (not the capital btw) Tel Aviv. Tel Aviv is located on the Mediteranean coast and the place of arrival for all tourists. We stayed in a small apartment for one week because we really aren't big-hotel-lovers. However, you can find a lot of more luxurious hotels along the beach promenade. If I had to describe Tel Aviv in one sentence, I'd say something like: Grunge meets High Technology. There are small, declayed houses standing in the middle of skyscrapers, office blocks and hotels. Tel Aviv is full of markets, people trading and negotiating. At the same time the whole city is equipped with Wifi to enable a communication as good as possible.

 

Srill, my favourite area is the old city Yafo. Small cute alleys between houses lined up in rows have their own charm. There is also a big market and on every corner you can find a booth where you can buy delicious freshly squeezed juice. On the highest point, on a small hill, one has perfect view over the whole coast and if the weather is nice, you can spend a whole afternoon there, just relaxing.  Highly recommended (and loved by a lot of people) is the oldest bakery in Yafo. They make the most delicious arabic takeaway food. Sweet and savoury.

If you have special questions about my trip, e.g. about the costs, the food and so on .. feel free to leave a comment or just send  us an e-mail. In the next part we will visit Jerusalem!

HELLO EVERYBODY, the new month has just begun and that means it's time to take up a new challenge to free myself! My goal in March is to live without my smartphone and social media sites every Sunday. I have four Sundays to try this experiment and to find out how it works for me or if another day would be more convenient. Or if there are situations in which I really have to use my phone.

In case you speak German and would like to know all my reasons for doing this, you can read this post about quitting social media. Maybe I can translate this blogpost later but to summarize my reasons in just a few words:  Social media, such as  Facebook, I can obtain with my laptop aswell. On the other hand, my phone distracts me a lot and I am still wasting too much time on it. Well, it is time to change something again. Of course, it won't change my user behaviour immediately but this month's challenge is supposed to be a small experiment. I want to figure out how important my smartphone is for me and how it influences me during school times or when I am busy clarifying some organisational things. But therefore I still have a house phone or one can write me an oldschool e-mail. 

I am very curious how the next four Sundays in my life will be and whether it will change my behaviour to a point where I can even spend two days a week without my mobile.
