Superfoods

Nowadays, healthy food has become a trend. You are overwhelmed by the media with buzzwords like “detox”, “superfood”, “gluten free” or “vegan”. However, what does this even mean? And how to find the right balance in your life when it comes to food? Because, in my opinion, it’s all about balance. You’ll never be happy in life without a little treat sometimes and without a cheat day during your week. Sticking to a strict diet plan is not only unhealthy, it can also lead to serious eating disorders. With this post, we do not want to tell you what is right or wrong in eating – we are surely no experts in the field. We just informed ourselves a little about those so-called superfoods and wanted to share the knowledge with you. So, what is superfood? Superfood first of all is a marketing term, created to promote healthy food. However, there is something true about the term: superfood basically describes food that contains much nutrition thus is supposed to be good for your body. Nevertheless, eating as …

Coffee in Amsterdam: Papeneiland

I am just gonna say it: Café Papeneiland serves (in my opinion) the best apple pie in the whole world. I have never tried any comparable apple pie in my life. The café is the most earthy and comfy place I know in Amsterdam so far and it is perfect to spend a sunny day, watching the boats running through the canals, drinking coffee and chatting with your friends.

Moments of Spring

I own this Burberry coat for at least seven years now and nothing has changed about my love for it since this beauty left the store with me back then. If you feel annoyed by searching the perfect trenchcoat then you should simply invest into this classic piece. I do certainly know that it is worth a fortune but I have never ever bought another trench after this one. Trenchcoat – Burberry Sweater – French Connection Pants – Zara Shoes – Zara

Brunch in Berlin: Spreegold

Sundays are made for late and long breakfast/brunch sessions. Yesterday I headed to the under Berlin inhabitants pretty well-known Spreegold where they serve fresh food and drinks all day long. However I was keen on trying their breakfast and honestly, it was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend ate the Spreegold’s Brunch “The Best” plate (€ 18,50) and had a Green Mint Iced Tea (€ 3,80) as a refreshment. I had a bowl of whole milk yoghurt with granola and fresh fruits (€ 4,50) as well as Buttermilk pancakes with fruits, sour cream and maple syrup (€ 7,90). As a drink I just ordered a plain Caffé Latte (€ 3,50). All in all it was really yummy but as you can see what each dish and drink costs you can tell what we payed for it in total. Not a weekly indulgence! Of course you can also choose something different from the menu but mainly the breakfast plates start at € 7,50 and up. Another thing which will give this spot a tiny minus point was the speed of the staff. Two guys were running …

Caption Nailpolish Event

On the beginning of this week I was lucky enough to attend the lovely CAPTION nail polish event here in Amsterdam. It was a fun night full of girl’s talk, nail polish and sweets! I have to say – I am absolutely stunned by the result of the three layers nail polish (base, color, top coat). It looks like the nails were gel and lasts for several days without any cracks!

Macaron Love

In honor of last month, the month of love (Valentine’s Day – it’s your fault!), we are once more sharing some #foodporn addiction. Hello, Macarons! Three facts why we just can’t get enough of these little cuties 1. They taste super delicious and can come in so many flavors. From Cassie Violette over to Pistache and Café – you won’t be disappointed! 2. They look way to good on pictures! Those colors are just flawless and make you happy each and every time. Fun and flirty. 3. You instantly get this Parisian feeling. When the daily routine is a little to much it’s time to take a little vacation and somehow Macarons are the perfect little get-away. Where can I buy Macarons in Berlin? Makrönchen Manufaktur, Du Bonheur and Galeries Lafayette for course. Get the pastel Macaron #ootd
