“Welcome to Europe?”. A collage I've recently finished. The cut-out headlines translate to: “Last rescue before the immersion”, addressing the countless deaths of refugees on the Mediterranean sea in the last couple of years and the impact it can have on Europe's identity. Made from a picture and headline of an article in the German newspaper Weserkurier on the topic of food-saving and various facial features collected from various different magazines. Held together by glue and acrylic paint on a map of the Mediterranean Sea that I teared out of an '08-atlas I found in a 'for free' box in my neighborhood. When I started this collage, I didn't know it would turn out as something addressing my feelings towards Europe and the refugee crisis. And writing down its “meaning” would be just as messy as the collage itself. But I couldn't help choosing this topic while looking at the map in front of me. Close-ups down below. The Mediterranean Sea ha

Don't we all have that one friend who ghosts you for the majority of their life and only gets into contact when it is convenient for them? Well, even if you didn't happen to know someone like that up to this point, now you do. I haven't posted on this blog since April of 2018 due to being occupied with adult life – but let me make it up to you. I always loved these crispy chocolate flakes before I went vegan – some of you might know them as "Choco Crossies". Unfortunately, even in 2019, finding a version that isn't made with dairy or sold by an evil big cooperation like Nestlé is pretty difficult. But let me tell you: if something proves that you do not need expensive or mystical ingredients, nor a lot of effort to make vegan sweets, it is this recipe. (I just noticed that every introduction to a vegan recipe blogpost on the internet sounds like that. Huh. Let's continue) You'll need: 200-300g of vegan chocolate  70g of cornflak

"A vegan diet is too expensive. Too expensive for you .  You won't be able to maintain it  – don't even bother!" Is that what keeps repeating in your head whenever you think about going vegan ? Not surprising: most people consider veganism to be a diet for the rich. But it's time to deconstruct that belief. I'm the type of person who likes to save money and make good deals, even when it comes to food.  As a student, I'm living on a limited budget anyway and simply can't – and don't want to - spend it all on food. I went vegan when I was still living with my family, and money was always a big topic. But I proved them wrong:  Here are some general rules and tips you can stick to in order to eat vegan on a budget!  These might be helpful too if you're not even interested in veganism and just need to learn the basics of attaining (cheap) food. 1. Cheap staple foods Many of the vegan staple foods are simul

Wie bitte? Ja, ihr seht richtig. Ich bin jetzt Pink. Und zu dieser Farbexplosion hat mir eine der auswaschbaren Haartönungen der Marke Knight&Wilson verholfen, die ich heute reviewen möchte. What?! Yes, your eyes are not betraying you. I'm pink now! A temporary hairdye by the brand Knight&Wilson has helped me to achieve this explosion of color, and today I want to review this product and give you my thoughts on it.

If I see a lot of negativity going on in the world (or our beloved parallel-universe, the internet), I feel like I need to counteract it. You don't have to turn your life around 180 degrees to improve it. These are 5 mellow and easy ways that I discovered for myself  - maybe they can make you feel better, too!

It's time for another show-off of materialized coolness! But I have to warn you - my recent shopping trips of last month haven't only taken place in thrift-stores. After months of buying secondhand-only, this haul features thrifted items as well as new ones. I hope you enjoy (regardless)!

[English - only this time!] Berets, puffer jackets, metallic chains, stripes and checkerboard-patterns - you think these don't go together at all? Well, they really don't - but that is what makes it intriguing. The fashion-universe came up with a really special style-genre lately, and it baffled me of how many different influences it's constructed. One of which I thought the world wasn't ready for . . . So what is #CONSTRUCTIONCORE, and what is it made of?
