Hello from Tunisia!

A quick mobile update from Djerba! The weather is superb (around 30 degrees!) and I already got a little tan as you might see! We arrived on Sunday in the evening, and yesterday and today was spent at the beach/the pool. Right now I'm in my room watching a bit TV and eating nuts :D the food is also really nice, they even have Crêpes for breakfast! And the bread is SO good, hah. In an hour I have an appointment for a pedicure, until then I'll just stay in my room. Might post something else later! :)

7 days left!

Only one week left until I'm going to 30-degrees-hot Djerba/Tunisia with my family! It will be my first time on the african continent, and I'm really looking forward! Our hotel looks really exciting and is just next to the beach. Can't wait to finally tan a bit, since the weather here in Luxembourg hasn't really been the best lately...

Dinner at Vapiano!

Emma's litas!

Yesterday I met up with my friend Emma, who I hadn't met since the end of March! We had dinner at Vapiano (I tried out the Scampi e Spinaci pasta for once instead of my ususal Pomodoro e Spinaci. It was really good!), went to the cinema to see "The Dictator" and then went to a Shisha bar afterwards. It was a really nice evening! Tonight I'll watch the ING Night Marathon which will just run by next to my street, haha. Have a nice Saturday!

Recipe: Whole wheat blueberry/cranberry muffins

Today I'm back with a new recipe for you guys! Lately I've deicded that I want to eat healthier. I have already been eating quite healthy for the last few months, but I think that I didn't do it completely right. I ate not enough carbs and natural fats, and not enough calories than I should be eating according to my height/weight. So I wanna eat more fruit, vegetables, whole wheat products, nuts and protein. So today, I decided to try out a new recipe and made blueberry and cranberry muffins, but not like ususal with plain flour, but this time, I used whole wheat flour, and brown sugar instead of white sugar. For these 6-8 of these muffins, you'll need: 125g whole wheat flour, 1/2 tablespoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 egg, 120ml 1/5 % fat milk, 120g brown sugar, 40g margarine, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla sugar, 50g blueberries and 50g cranberries (I used fresh blueberries and dried cranberries). Just mix it all, fill into muffin papers and bake for 18mins at 180 degrees.

Travelling: One of my passions

via

This post will be a little more text, so if you are not interested, don't read on :)

Ever since I was a child, I always loved to go on vacation. When I was a small child, we always used to spend a month in Belgium at the seaside in houses or flats we rent (we=my parents and I). I used to love playing at the beach, going to trips, visiting nearby cities and more. When I got a bit older (I think I was 8), I visited a big city for the first time - Paris. I can't really remember much of it now, but I remember that I liked it very much, even if we only spent a short time there. When I was 12, I travelled by plane for the first time, when we travelled to Gran Canaria for a week. It was amazing! I remember that I was actually quite scared to fly, but after all, I enjoyed it. And the beach & weather was just amazing! That summer I also travelled "alone" for the first time, when I went to a camp in Germany for young people from all over the world. I met a lot of people, and enjoyed it so much that I decided to go back there for next few years as well (In total, I was in this camp 4 times :D). When I was 14, we travelled to Italy by car, and at first, I hated it! It was such a long car ride, and the place where we stayed was quite boring. The year after, we travelled to Italy again, but this time we went to Milan and Mantova. It was really nice! That year in December, we travelled by plane for the second time, and this time, we went to Berlin! So far, Berlin is my favourite city. I just loved it there, I would go back anytime if I could! When I turned 16 last year, my parents offered me an amazing birthday gift: I could go to an international youth camp in Finland in summer (pictures on my blog)! It was also super awesome, and I met a lot of amazing people, even if we only were a small group! I also went there by plane, this time with RyanAir. Even though many people have prejudice against this company, I actually thought it was really okay for that price. If I will travel on my own later on, I wouldn't mind travelling with RyanAir again. Oh, I almost forgot: Last year, we also travelled to Italy again, in April and in August. This time, we went to probably the most beautiful places in Italy I've ever been to: Desenzano del Garda at Lake Garda. Such a beautiful landscape!

This August holiday was also the last "real" holiday I've been on lately, and to be honest, I really want to escape again, which is why I'm really happy that I'm going to Djerba island (near Tunisia) in 3 weeks! And then in summer I'm going to a camp in Italy with one of my best friends Mandy (alone!), where we will mostly chill at the beach, but also visit some cities like Rome, Grosetto or Siena. I might also go on a weekend trip with my mum in July (we were thinking about Barcelona/Berlin), but it's not sure yet.

What do you think about travelling? Do you prefer travelling by car/train/plane? What is your favourite destination? Where have you already travelled to?

Ring from OASAP

A few days ago, my parcel from OASAP (click!), a women's clothing, shoes, bags and accessories online shop that offers free worldwide shipping arrived. I had orderes this (click!) beautiful turquoise ring, and I was really surprised when I got it, because unless some other models I've seen in different online shops, this one really looks a lot like the YSL arty one! I have the original one in khaki, and the only difference I could tell is that the OASAP one is a tiny bit bigger. Sometimes I would definately recommend you to visit the OASAP online shop and if you like the ring, order it, because they ship for free and it arrives within a week!
