In the last couple of days spring has taken over my place and sent us lovely, absolutely amazing weather, which let me make the decision that it’s time to get myself ready for spring and stock up my closet with loads of fantastic, new spring clothes. 

So, here’s a small insight into my spring wardrobe :) 

I really do love those outfits a lot as they are all a mixture between comfortable and elegant and these are points that have always been important for me when it comes to choosing outfits. 

I'm the kinda person who's more classy and elegant, with a bit of a rocky and edgy note, completely depends on my mood to be honest. 

Another important point is that the clothes fit me and my body form and don't make one appear bulky. In conclusion, it's essential that you feel confident and comfortable in your skin and you can underline this confidence with choosing the right clothes :)

Do you also have those days where you come home and you just feel completely done with yourself and the world because it was such a hard day and there was so much to do that you couldn’t get your head free for just five minutes?

If so, be sure, you’re not alone because I have those days quite often and they annoy me more than you can actually imagine. It’s like, you’re planning to do all kinds of stuff the whole day and your to-do-list full of things you don’t even want to do just doesn’t get shorter. Frustrating much. 

And then there’s this moment I just have enough, the moment my brain tells me: Give me a break or something bad will happen. 

Don’t take this literally but I’m actually really that kind of person who gets slightly annoyed and obnoxious if there’s too much going on for my brain to take :P 

Obviously, every person has their own way how to cope with stressful, fully scheduled days but I have this method of getting rid of all the spare energy I have first and afterwards I just relax. 

When you’re all hyped up the whole day, always in a rush and always trying to not lose track of time, your body subconsciously gets used to the adrenaline rushing through your blood all day and he can’t just get rid of it again from one second to the other. 

It takes a while to calm yourself and your body down again and therefore I always start my real, proper pamper evenings with sports. 

Might sound crazy as you come home and feel like there’s absolutely no power left in your body and you feel like you could straightly pass out on your bed but actually the adrenaline in your body is still present and it won’t make you sleep well if you just keep it in. 

Admittedly, it does take a lot of strength to overcome my weaker self but in the end I always know that the effort pays off. Additionally, I got myself this incredibly cool pair of Nike tracksuit trousers which you can see in the picture underneath this paragraph and personally they encourage me a lot to keep going and make the effort to visit the gym. 

As you see, I combine them with either a grey or turkish simple shirt which is actually a size too big as I like it when my clothing’s light during sports. It’s pretty important that you use a sports bra everytime you work out as it just offers a much better support and to be honest, it’s also way more comfortable. Those things don’t even have to be very expensive just look for a piece that fits you perfectly because  that’s the main thing. 

Sports isn’t something that should make you feel bad, it’s something you should genuinely and utterly enjoy. 

(Shirts: both H&M; Shoes: Adidas; Sports bra: Active; Tracksuit trousers: Nike)

Always keep in your mind that it’s all just for fun, there’s no competition behind. As soon as those competitive thoughts appear, the fun decreases massively and you just stop enjoying doing it and that’s absolutely not the goal you should approach and also not the point of a pamper evening as it is there for you to relax and calm down. 

Another important point is that you don’t overestimate yourself in the beginning because I know that some of you tend to do that. I was such a person as well. You go to the gym, you’re watching all those sporty people doing their work out and you want to show them that you’re as good as them. (Suure, you’ve never run more than 10 minutes at a time but you want to compare yourself to people who have done that much longer than you… Sure, Momo, will perfectly work out for you… I don’t think so.. :P) 

So, don’t feel stressed out when you’ve just started, everyone was a beginner at first. Just listen to what your body tells you and don’t push your limits too much in the beginning. You’ll see, after a while, if you do it more often, you’ll feel how your body gets used to the training and you’ll be able to increase your training level pretty fast. 

Didn’t want to believe that first but it really works like this. ;) 

Taking someone with you to training is also a good opportunity to motivate yourself as it is just much more entertaining than when you’re on your own. Just don’t let yourself get too distracted otherwise you’ll end up having a coffee party instead of working out. ;) 

However, when you get back home, you might feel the need to shower that sticky, sweaty feeling of your body that unfortunately appears in connection with sports. 

When I’m having a proper pamper evening I tend to choose a bath over a short shower because it’s just more relaxing and you can completely let your mind drift off while having a bath. 

I went to Lush not a long time ago and they had these amazing bath bombs I’ve been loving so much lately and they had this captivating, spring-like scent and I just felt the need to buy them. 

Lush is quite expensive for a middle class person and for „poor“, always broke students like me, but sometimes I just can’t help myself because the stuff they have is just amazing. 

I went for two bath bombs this time, one of them is called „Think Pink“ and the other one is called „Rose Queen“. 

For this time’s pamper evening I used the one you can see on the left side in the picture, the one with the flowers, which is the „Think Pink“ one. 

You can also see my latest body lotion favourites, which are the „Dove Body Cream“, the „Cacao & Raspberry Bodylotion“ plus a nut flavoured body butter (both from „Yves Rocher“) and my personal favourite, as it was a present from my lovely aunt, the „Our Moment“ Body Lotion by One Direction. I was quite surprised how awesome this body lotion smells. It’s a combination of a kinda sweet, fruity and fresh scent and I really love how it smells when you apply it to your skin. You should definitely give it a try as it fits perfectly to the upcoming spring weather. 

(Bathbombs "Think Pink" + "Rose Queen": both Lush; "Cacao & Raspberry Body Lotion" + body butter: both Yves Rocher; Body Cream: Dove)

After I turned my bath water into a perfectly girly pink wonderland with the bath bomb I tried out something completely new, I’d never tried this before but I’d always wanted to that so I decided to give it a go. 

I made myself this incredible avocado face mask and it worked out absolutely well. It is so easy to do and even though it doesn’t really look quite appealing because of the strange green colour, it works absolutely perfect on your skin. You apply the mask for about 10 minutes and wash it off afterwards and I tell you, my skin has never felt more soft. (I am not gonna post a picture of me with the mask on though because that would be just a disturbing view for everyone and I don’t want you guys to feel uncomfortable xD) 

This is the recipe for the avocado mask: 

(as I told you, it’s really abnormally simple to do)

1 Avocado 

1 a teaspoon full of natural yogurt

1/2 a teaspoon full of honey 

You basically mash the avocado and put a spoonful of the mashed avocado into another small bowl where you mix it up with the yogurt and the honey. Afterwards you mix the content of both bowls together and you’re finished. 

To add a bit of relaxing atmosphere to the fully going on pamper evening I also decorated my bathroom with some candles and put together a playlist of some of my favourite relaxing songs.

After that the only thing you need to do is slip into your most comfortable PJ’s and cuddle up in bed with a cup of tea, cacao or whatever else you prefer to drink after a long day. 

Hopefully until next week, loads of love,

MoMo xx

You might remember from my last blog post that I’m in the second semester at university studying for my Bachelor in English language and music. 

It’s not like uni is one of the easiest things on earth, actually, it’s quite time consuming and a hell lot of work. 

But I’ve always been that person who tries to make the most and the best out of everything and just because uni’s hard work and some lectures tend to be more than boring, you can still make it appear much easier with the right attitude.

To be honest, most of the time lectures get really boring, it’s basically the fault of the teacher. It’s the same all around the world, doesn’t matter if you’re in High School, Middle School or university. Some teachers just aren’t able to deliver their subject properly, even though it might be kinda interesting. 

I just give you the advice, at least try to pay attention, even though it might be difficult and your brain keeps getting distracted by stuff that seems way more interesting than the topic the teacher’s talking about in front of the class. 

I tell you, you’re gonna need the information and when exam time’s coming you’re just gonna be sitting there asking yourself when the hell the teacher has been talking about that otherwise… and then you’re kinda screwed… xD

In school and uni it’s just important to get your head free sometimes and get rid of all the stuff that bothers you. I always do that by doing sports or just go for a walk in the winter and soon-to-be spring sun or I just meet up with friends to have a proper chat with them or rant about teachers that were driving us mad over the last days. 

That’s just something you need to do to not get completely crazy when you’re surrounded by stuff you’re supposed to get into your head. :P 

Schools and universities are known for being places where loads of people come together in a small space and I always tend to have a look around, observing people and their looks because it’s just incredibly fascinating to watch how varied the people on campus are. You’re actually able to get your inspiration from basically everywhere you look and that’s what I find so special. 

To make tough school and university days better, the right outfit is sometimes beyond helpful besides getting enough sleep and having a proper breakfast. It should be a good mix between comfortable, as you have to sit around for a huge amount of hours per day, but should also represent the way you are because, as I said in the last blog post, fashion is something that shows the outside world who you are and gives them an impression of what kind of person you are. 

Below you can see what I’ve been wearing to a fully packed day of university once. It’s just a combination of really comfy, baggy trousers from Zara, a dotted shirt (from Zara as well ;D) and a leather jacket which I could just take off if the temperature in one of the lecture rooms is just unbearably high, which does happen when there are about 100 people in one room and all their brains are working on high speed. I tell you, learning is harder than sports xD 

I know how often people get judged by their looks and seriously, I am judging nothing more than people who talk badly about others because that’s just unnecessary and rude. My motto on that: „Noone needs this kind of negativity in their lives.“ 

So, guys, if some of you have the problem that there are people who are talking about you behind your back, either look for someone who helps you stand up to people like that or just show them that you’re stronger and way more mature than them. Everyone out there is special and unique, all of our opinions matter and there’s absolutely noone who’s worth less than someone else, never forget that. 

Times may be tough and there are days where you just wanna hide in a corner and cry but that’s normal. Don’t let someone else bring you down, especially not because of outfit reasons. Face the world with a smile and I promise you, it’ll smile back at you. 

For those of you who have to wear school uniforms, just try to pimp it up a bit with a nice hair style, braid it or just use cute hair bands to make it look more interesting. 

I think I might do a blog post on different braids as well as I love experimenting with my hair :) 

Universities are a place were you immediately feel so much smarter I know that for sure because the first time I stepped on my campus I felt like a complete genius even though I’m far away of being somewhat like a genius. 

My campus consist of several beautiful, old buildings and sometimes I just like to sit on the grass field in front of them admiring the architecture. I know that sounds cheesy but in connection with a good book, some music or friends that’s just heaven on earth. 

So, uni isn’t just a place where you learn new stuff and are supposed to pay attention 24/7, it’s usually also a place you can enjoy spending your time at. It’s just the way you look at it. You can see so many exciting things there, you just have to pay attention and point out the small, hidden things. 

Same goes for school of course. Try to concentrate on the stuff that makes you feel comfortable in such an unpleasant environment like school. Keep your head high and show the world what you’re made of, outfit and personality wise :) 

Loads of love and hopefully until next time,

MoMo xx
