Truth to be told, I am one of those people who just feel a bit too old to be celebrating Halloween (I love to spend my evenings in the most cozy way possible, i.e. inside, a true old lady!). If you’re one of us and still like Halloween décor and autumn-inspired ornaments, worry not – there is still enough time to decorate your apartment with Halloween decorations! I dedicated one corner of my boyfriend’s living room for this year’s Halloween purposes; he wasn’t too intrigued about the idea, but unfortunately didn’t have much say in it, ha-ha!

I went for paper bats, a few pumpkins and a red candle from DM, nothing spectacular, but just enough to create a bit of a Halloween atmosphere. There is a ton of bat templates on the internet and you can include other shapes as well, such as pumpkins or ghosts! You only need a pencil, a template, some black or glittery paper, scissors and adhesive tape, that’s it! I even wanted to add a gross Halloween cocktail out of beetroot juice, but ended just with the juice. The one I got from Alnatura is perfect for such an occasion – thick and blood-like, but also healthy! Again, there is a bunch of Halloween-appropriate cocktails on the internet.

And you, have you already decorated your apartment? Even if you have just some ideas, please share them with us! :)

Focuuus, where are you on such an inglorious Friday? This post is mainly dedicated to complaining! :D I have so much work to do this weekend and writing a seminar paper in French is the last thing on my mind at the moment. Although we’re only (?!?!?) in the middle of April, I have a feeling that exams are approaching insanely fast. However, that would not be a problem if I had any time to start studying in this pile of translations and midterms!

And the weather is not helping in any way. I’ve been asking myself whether I’m working hard or hardly working every thirty minutes or so today, and I guess I’ll have to go with the second one. If you’re wondering how I manage to study or write when my concentration is close to zero,  here are a few of my suggestions:

Besides that pile of stationary, which I adore with all my heart, there is a Manhattan lipstick – for a reason! :D I only got it yesterday and, of course, I had to try it out. I must look great at the moment, I’m tired, without any makeup, but I nevertheless managed to apply that lipstick! :D

I hope this list was any use for you. If you have any other rather special techniques to keep you focused, share them with me! It happens that some days these just don’t help… so I’d love to try something else :)

Take care  ♥

The Easter holidays are in full swing and I’m finally spending some quality time with my sister, hereafter Dunja ♥ We made another pile of bliss balls yesterday and half of them have already disappeared, haha :D And she is not photobombing the second picture, this is a real Easter rabbit! Well, I basically used the same recipe as for the Brownie bliss balls I made last week, but added a teaspoon of coconut oil, two tablespoons of coconut sugar and two tablespoons of ground coconut. Instead of rolling them in cacao, I finely ground the coconut flour and rolled them in that instead. This batch is much softer and sweeter, but I must admit that there is something missing in the centre of the ball, like a hazelnut or an almond to make it a bit more special. It is Easter after all! ;)

Anyways, I’ve been quite productive today! I was doing HIIT training for around 20 minutes and then me and Dunja watched the first part of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay series. I’m sure all of you have already watched it, but I may be the slowest movie watcher in the universe and literally have to be bored to tears to start watching anything else than YouTube clips or series. Katniss or Jeniffer Lawrence is fabulous as always, she’s such a badass in that new outfit! And it was amazing to see Natalie Dormer (Tudors, Elementary, Game of Thrones), Cressida, in yet another role and with an American accent. However, I should not forget the boys! Although I thoroughly approve Gale’s much more visible role in this part, I was quite shocked by Peeta’s story. I won’t tell you any spoilers, but I would never expect such a twist. All in all, I like the film quite a bit, but there was definitely much more action in the first and second movies. I can’t wait to see what the second part of the Mockingjay on November 20 will bring! :)

The Easter holidays are right around the corner and I this year I decided to make some themed decorations. Nothing special, but I just want to create a pleasant ambience and decorate the house before everything is over, which is sadly always the case. As I’m obsessed with Pinterest and always love to scroll through inspiration of other bloggers for such holidays, I made a Pinspiration of my own! I hope you like it, it definitely gives me some ideas what to do in my spare time in the following days :)
