Dear readers,

it was a little bit quiet around me, but honestly it wasn't because of the Christmas Season. Niclas and I couldn't really enjoy Christmas this year as we're having a lot to study. Although we celebrated Christmas very special this year as we were at my godfathers home in Eindhoven, Netherlands. As my sister spending Christmas in bars instead of having heading out of presents on Christmas Eve, we had to open our gifts at home.

I didn't wish for anything special this year. But I was glad about the presents I received. I got a lot of expensive fragrances, so I can extend my fragrance collection. I nearly change my favourite scent every year. But they are nearly the same. It has to scent flowery and sweet with a small note of fresh. And there are a few I really like.



One of my first scent was "La vie est belle" by Lancôme. More flowery than sweet. The scent of jasmine makes the scent very feminine. "Coco Mademoiselle" by Chanel is the fragrance for strong women. The scent is very oriental and powerful. It's more for women over 30 as it smells very mature. I don't use it very often, because it's matching better to my mum than to me.




"Daisy Dream" by Marc Jacobs smells very fruity and fresh. Especially for office and for college I like to use it as the scent is not too heavy. "Omnia Crystalline" by Bulgari was one of my favourite scent about a couple of years ago. It is also fruity and fresh, but I like mostly the note of fresh lotus in it. The fragrance "Black Opium" by Yves Saint Laurent is more for my sister than for me, as it is really sweet. More girly than feminine.



And my absolute favourite at the moment is "Sì" by Giorgio Armani! Very feminine and sexy. It has a flowery note of jasmine, the sweetness of vanilla and the fruity note of currants. I has the perfect combination I really like and it is not too heavy.

I hope you all had wonderful Christmas. Tomorrow Niclas and I will celebrate our 5th anniversary and I'm already planning the perfect makeup, the outfit and anything else. I am so excited.

Dear readers,

I received a package of Garnier lately to test their product. They send me the heat protection spray of the #wahreschätze series. I was skeptical about heat protection although my hair really needs heat protection. I straighten my hair nearly daily and that's why the ends of my hair is full of spliss.
The design of the bottle is very clear and simple. It's a spray bottle what is definitely a bonus. I tried out gel heat protection before, but it was sticky. As spray you could dispense the liquid easily on your hair. But actually I have very long and thick hair. I needed a lot of spray to cover up the heat protection on my hair.



I'm absolutely relieved about the contents. The heat protection spray contains oat milk and rice cream. Very healthy for your hair and even for your scalp. They're giving you the perfect care and nutrition your hair needs.



The best part is, it smells wonderful like coco blossoms in summer and the scent last for maximum 3 days. But I am a little bit disappointed by the end result. After testing it a few months now, my spliss is still there and it feels like my hair is getting drier. Maybe it is better to use it sometimes. I use it nearly after every hair wash before straighten my hair and now I have to change it immediately or having a new haircut.

Dear readers,

the first semester nearly comes to an end and Christmas is coming closer and closer. As we don't having exams, we have to present semester projects. A lot of them. To be Exact, in every class I attend, so I needed inspiration immediately. Luckily, I hear about an exciting exhibition in the mueseum arts in Wolfsburg one of my friend visited and I had to check it out what it's about.

The topic is Never Ending Stories and it contains the keyword "loop". I booked two tickets for me and my sister. We chose the eat and art program, where we get a private guide in a small group and a three-course meal at the end of the program. I know about one exhibition piece, which I really had to see. The famous Infinity Mirrored Room by Yayoi Kusama. No words needed!



Every artist interpreted the keyword loop different for himself. The infinity room shall show the visitor about the the word loop in infinity. I also had the pleasure to see works from two of my favourites artists Andy Warhol and Salvador Dalí, but I learned about a new artist and I was pretty amazed about his interpretation of "loops". The exhibiton piece of Gregor Schneider is beside the piece of Yayoi Kusama one of the best work of the exhibition. He plays with the mind of the people, but it was really difficult to show the piece in a picture.




The works are all categorized in subtopics like architecture, music and more. It was really impressing and I wish more exhibition like this. The three-course meal wasn't really good, so I won't tell more about it.




The exhibition was so helpful and exciting and I could get a lot of new ideas for my semester projects, so stay tuned to get to see my own works.
