Ah, I had forgot the beauty of napping! How is that possible? Napping is one of my ultimate favorite pastimes. I tend to take naps almost anywhere and at anytime, but lately I haven't been napping much... According to the National Sleep Foundation there's many benefits from napping, like a 20-30 min nap can restore your alertness. So I now took a maybe hour long nap, so logically that would mean that I am double as alert as I normally am! :D
(I know it doesn't work like this, but it makes me feel way better to think it does...)
Never underestimate the power of a power nap!

the end of an era...
Like I have mentioned before, my last week in Germany has started and soon I'll be heading back home. It has been an experience and as they say, everything that doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Some parts of my time spent here have been difficult. Not because it would be horrible here, but mostly because so many amazing things and people have been waiting at home.
The time spent here has gone by faster than I had ever imagined though, and now finals are already here. I still have a couple left, but it at times feels like my brain is on holiday already. I am happy to have spent these months here after all, been able to focus my studies on an industry I'm actually interested in, and learn some German, natürlich! So may I already say, vielen Dank Deutschland! It has been a pleasure to meet yet another culture!
As the countdown until my journey back home has started, so has my packing! And believe me, many times have I found myself wondering how I'm gonna get all my things back home with me. So, therefore I did a test packing. It looks quite bright actually... Luckily I have made a few short visits back home! That would be most of my the stuff I still have left here, mostly bargains I found during the sales here that just were too good to leave in the store! (I'll post about those when I get home most likely)
Soon most things here are ready for me to close the door to this student dorm one last time and head towards new adventures...
...just a couple of things that will need to be fixed ASAP when I get home, before the new adventures can begin. Like a new hairdo! My hair, that used to be black, is now very faded after 5 months of no dye, and has also lost it's shape totally.
I'm not totally sure which way to go now though, blond or brunette? Short or medium? Any thoughts?
Now I'm off to bed, so that tomorrow maybe would be a more productive and less lazy day... Goodnight!

laziness maximus
Most people probably know the feeling laziness, unfortunately. Or actually laziness can be divine, when you have the right to be lazy, like lazy Sundays when you have nothing urgent that needs to be done.
However today, I have a million things that should be done. It's the last week of my exchange period, and we have finals going on, and I obviously should spend my time studying. But no, instead I update my playlists, read irrelevant books (although I'm reading a quite interesting one right now) and drink coffee. I'm the kind of person that I get most things done in the morning, however not every morning. When I wake up I straight away know whether it'll be a productive day or not. And some mornings I just now it'll be a lazy day, like today.
This describes the feeling:
Today I Don't Feel Like Doing Anything
I Just Wanna Lay In My Bed
Don't Feel Like Picking Up My Phone
So Leave A Message At The Tone
'Cause Today I swear I'm Not Doing Anything
-Bruno Mars, The Lazy Song
(I would have attached the video, but a lot of the videos on YouTube you are not able to open here in Germany plus my internet is VERY slow today)

Organized!
As anyone who knows me would know, I have a tendency to carry around all my belongings in various small 'bags' or whatever you might call them, inside of my bag. Therefore anyone can understand that finding the BagPod has made me want one.

waiting for me at home
As I mentioned before, I will be moving back home shortly, and until then I will be unable to upload any photos since my camera cord is buried in some box at home. So there is a little project to tackle when I get home, which is the organizing of the closet as well as of all my other things...
...another thing that also is waiting for me at home is my new converse shoes!!!
I'm in love with them already!

life as of late
As I am just starting up with this blog, I ask you to spare with me for a moment, but stay tuned!
I'm gonna be writing about my life, which is very much about the small things that make everyday living so great.
I have been living in Germany lately, but I'll be moving back home (finally!) very soon. There awaits my wonderful family and friends, my love and also my home.
Style, from my point of view, will be a central part of my blog, both in the form of clothing etc. and interior design as we recently moved and there is a lot to be done still. But I will also post on other happenings and small things.
Hopefully you will enjoy my blog!
