Oh how, Pintresting Wednesday!

Hey girls, it´s Wednesday again, the middle of the week is here. Time to celebrate with a few of my favorite pins of this week.


For today I chose cute desserts as a topic. I have a really sweet tooth, I can´t help it. Since I was a small girl I enjoyed desserts and sweet treats.


This "After Eight" cupcakes remind me of my grandparents. They really liked Afther Eight and eyerytime I visited there were some pieces of this treat on the coffee table. 
(Will probarbly do a featrue about other stuff that always reminds me. There are so much things that come to my mind)

These red velvet cupcakes look so jucy and bright like a bunch of berries, you simplay want to tkae a bite, won´t you?

These are the cutest decorated cupcakes on earth! They are probarbly inspired by Cath Kidston or GreenGate. I fell in love with the GreenGate cottage cute style when we went to Groningen ( Netherlands) in 2009 and never stopped. There is a little shop in our quarter, too and I adore the stuff they sell.

Owls seem to be everywhere these days and I have to say these are so hooothie cutie. Decor makes this simple heart a really special present.

This swirl with the (eatable) pansy on it is like a piece of art. I have to admit I wanted to try this cupcake topping for a while but haven´t found time yet. Do you know any store that sells time?
Please let me know. I´d like to have plenty of it! Working fulltime just eats up all the time you could spend on something nice. ( But you wouldn´t have money to spend on the nice things if you don´t go to work either...vicious circle ;o) )

Oh Marshmallows, I love them. Roasted above fire, just the fluff brought in a glass or the inside of an German "Schaumkuss" oh so good. And of course freshly whipped egg white with sugar or meringues....you get the picture.

Girls, tell me, which dessert is your favorite? Are you as crazy about Marshmallow Fluff like I am? 


Have a look at what the girls over at Michelle from The Vintage Apple have pinned this week!

Rosemary Potatoes & Steak

Sometimes the easy things in live are the best. I really like cooking and baking but during week days after work I don´t want to spend long time in the kitchen. 

Coincideltally I came across the cooking directions for these potatoes at a German food blog named Einfach Guad. I haven´t tried potatoes in the oven before because I thought they are really too oily and greasy but with this recipe they are so tasty and crunchy. A dream come true, yummy. 
Just sliced potatoes, chopped rosemary and spilled olive oil, salt and pepper over it. Put the potatoes for approx.35-40 minutes on a bun tin in the oven. Take this "quality" time for yourself and enjoy it with a book to wait for the potatoes to get ready.


As my hubs likes to have a good chunk of meat, we brought some beef fillet steaks to go with the potatoes...yes, this way round, not the other. There were potatoes first.


We had a fun evening cooking our meal together in the kitchen, chatting, eating and had of course some white wine. No, I have no wine problem...just La Dolce Vita!


Next time we will probarbly combine a green salad to get some more vitamins in our meal. :o)

Review Glossybox July

Hi girls! My Glossybox for July arrived on Thursday and I´m very happy with it´s content. Really great products and I am excited to gibe them all a test for a longer term. But here are my first thoughts about it:

• Avéne SunscreenlotionSPF 50+ (Original size) - It´s my favorite in this box. Avéne is a good quality brand that you can get mostly in pharmacies in Germany. The SPF is great for my light skintone, especially for the face and the formula isn´t oily as other sunscreen products tend to be. It´s water resistant and has a broad UVA and UVB protection and should be used on normal or combination skin ( which I have). I recieved an original product. The container holds 50 ml and sells for 16,90€.
• C:ehko Intensive Care Shampoo (Travel size) - This shampoo smells so good and fruity and I´m keen on trying it. A while ago I got another care product from this brand as a gift. Little capsules with a mixture of different oils that made my hair look incredible good. So I´m excited about the shampoos quality and formula.
• Alessandro Pedix Feet Care Rescue Balm (Travel size) - This feet balm smells a bit minty like most feet products do. Especially for summer season you have to care for you feet so they look good in sandals and flip flops. For me this product is like heaven sent because I have rough skin and a tiny bit hard skin at the heels. What I can say until now my skin feels really soft and great. 
• Dermasel Spa Dead Sea Pomegranate Face Mask (Original size) - Can´t say much about this product yet because I haven´t tried it yet and it´s for one time use. So I can´t tell you how it smells but the pomgranate gives it a fruity fragrent for sure and the Dead Sea should be good to cleanse you skin.
• Secret brand lipstick in ´coffee toffee´ (Original size) - When you open the lipstick the brand isn´t that secret anymore as you can see the big X for Maxfactor but anyway... The coffee colour isn´t a shade that I favour. I´m more into pinkish colours and some kind of reds. The colour isn´t as ugly as I thought on my lips but for sure I will check out the stores to try another colour as the texture is great, creamy and so smooth on your lips.
• As a gift from Glossy box there was a sleeping mask in the box. I think the design is kind of cute but the fabric is a bit firm. Think it´s a bit softer when it´s worn out. I haven´t used sleeping masks for some time but I had wished for one when we were on the plane to Bali in may to get better sleep. As another goodie there was a bookmark in the box with a water colour style design and a holiday beauty checklist on it´s back. 

High Five for Friday!

Happy Friday everyone! Working week is done, thank God!


1. This week was so sunny. After all the rain all over Germany the past weeks this was a pleasure to feel the hot sun on my skin and fill up on endorphines! 
So dear sun, hopefully your here to stay for the next weeks of summer. I cross my fingers!

2. We did a house tour on Wednesday and I have to say we gain so much knowledge of what we DON´T want that there has to come the time where we find our house or a piece of land any time soon now. Can´t tell you anything that I wish for more.
There were so much houses that we checked out that weren´t appropriate (yes, appropriate...don´t get me wrong we are not that snobbish but we want to get some value for our money, no time to fool around with that). 
Everytime I think this one will be IT. But it hasn´t happend to be THE ONE yet.

3. We had barbeque twice this week and I feel really stuffed and heavy. A good reason to work in some good workouts this weekend to feel fit again and exercise to get of the savory of this great meals off my hips. 
Forgot to take barbecue photos both times, but it was so yummy. Even without photos you can imagine that when you love barbecues!


4. My Glossybox arrived and I really like the products. Will do a review soon!

5. I have finished the seasons cycle, four books by Nora Roberts about four woman leading a wedding agency in Connecticut. They have four different passions, one for photography, flowers, cakes and wedding planning regarding their business and are about to find their true love happening. Happy ending preprogrammed.

Oh, how Pinteresting Wednesday!

Hey girls, the days have flewn by and it´s Wednesday already. It´s been extremely sunny the past days, so I spend most of my time after work outside and you haven´t heard much of my lately.


So of course the motto of todays pinteresting Wednesday is summer goodies.


A yummy barbecue with tasty sauces and salads is one of my favorite must haves. Plus my hubs feels really masculine with cooking on "real fire" and enjoying good chunks of meat.

Of course I like to have a savory glas of withe wine with my barbecue. Actually I´m a bit of an philistine because you should have beer with a barbecue, shouldn´t you?

I really love maxi skirts. They are a bit boho but still way more elegant than hotpants. Let´s be honest, not everyone can wear hotpants and look awesome like let´s say Kylie Minogue.

Ice creme is another summer essentail. If I wouldn´t grow very big I could just live on ice creme. How about a zero calorie ice creme? That´s the idea I´m getting rich with...hey don´t snatch it. ;o)

Spend a day at the beach or at the lake...of course with wearing sunscreen.
