The Powerful

Hello dearest readership,

a healthy mind needs a healthy body but therefore you have to develop a healthy mind. The healthiness of mind is the strength you afford about which you do not know anything until you actually need it, that is growing from the determination and willpower within you. Apart from knowledge the power of mind - to decide to be strong - is the force of your own person. But before you can be as strong you have to see and observe that someone out there is at least as strong as you. Keep everything in life under your observation to put the world at your feet. Powerful is the one who keeps on and abandons the fear or failure. It keeps calm and observing until it finds valuable treasures.

Observing demands time - time we have if we decide to dedicate it to observation. If I did not decide to take my time to observe I would have never completed my owl collection with a ring that I would have never found in a shop on place. What a pity it would have been since I love owls very much. They give me peace and calmness. The owl is my eyes and ears when I am not able to take up information. It is my best friend because I can identify with it very well. Owls are cute to admire but dangerous if you disturb them.

14 Reasons To Travel To The Mosel-River-Region

Hallo meine Lieben,

summer is officially over let us give autumn a warm welcome with memories from summer. Having this in mind I want to share my holiday experiences from late August with you. I have been at the Mosel-river-region in Rhineland-Palatinate which is located in West-Germany. We have had the almost perfect with never ending hot sunshine and not a single breeze.

I have collected 14 reasons for you to spend your next holiday at the Mosel-river-region:

1.) If you travel early in the morning you have the chance to observe the sunrise

- there is no better reason to get up early.

2.) You can observe the Mosel-River-ribbons live

- among others from the train.
- otherwise the so called Panorama-Street.

3.) You can view the little villages from above

4.) It is the origin-region of white wine

- Cheers! Every week you can find a wine street-festival in one of the villages

5.) You are connected to the nature and you can swim in a vulcano

- so far I have not experienced another place where you are so much connected to the nature. In this case the so called maars (Maare): the wood-maar (Holzmaar) and the powder-maar (Pulvermaar) - a former vulcano that is used as an outdoor swimming pool nowadays.

- the nature is so clear that the water reflects the trees.

6.) You can visit the Dr. Oetker factory

- it always smells like vanilla there.

7.) You can still find old castles all over the Mosel-river-region

8.) The architectures of the villages completely differ from the typical famous buildings of the big cities

- but mostly they are what strangers fall in love with more.

9.) Trier: the most idyllic city

- famous to stay at a health resort.

10.) As the former Roman capital it is one of the most holy (katholic) cities

- the heritage is kept in every corner of the city until nowadays.

11.) THE cathedral in which the holy tunic of Jesus Christ is kept is in Trier

- once a year you can touch the box and wish for something with its holy power.

12.) The Porta Nigra is yet not restored

- visit it in any way.

13.) Once you see the palace of Trier you are feeling to be in St. Petersburg or Tallinn.

14.) If you are coming from North-Germany and travelling by train you can see the dom-cathedral of Cologne

- and a teaser of how beautiful the city is.

I hope you have had an as relaxing and beautiful summer as I had and have collected lots of positive energy for the coming autumn/winter season.

New In

Hello dear readers,

I have sad news to tell you. After the Paparazzi store in the shopping mall Wandsbek Quarree in Hamburg closed the second store in the shopping mall Hamburger Meile will soon close, too. I will miss this store since I have bought many amazing clothes there - the readers of this blog might never forget:

Apart from the amazing clothes of low cost, the staff is always very kind even until the very end. So much that once again I got personal discount for my new achievements in addition to the final offer 50 % off for the whole shop and even got some gifts for free.

See my new in below:

No Pain, No Game

Hello my dear readers,

you cannot always be a winner but it is up to you when you decide to stop being a surviver and give up. Those who fail at the first try rather know to cherish the value of success at another try or to fight for success until it is achieved. I still do not easily believe that a fail is another chance for something better but I am one of those types who are strengthened by a fail and more motivated to win the next time. A creative mind like me will always find a way out of hardships even though I belong to the dark side because the darker yourself the brighter your future. It is the criminal minds that always invent the plan B spontaneously.

Life is a jungle: it does not always act according to our will neither it offers all we want. Learn to deal with it. In the end it is a playground of piece of art to create however we want. Take to your hands whatever comes in your way and start to brainstorm.

Huge thanks to Tham from Thanh Nails for this beautiful and neat work! Visit the studio in Hamburg-St. Georg at the Lange Reihe 1-5.

Moments Of Joy: 23rd Birthday

Hello my dearest readers,

exactly two weeks ago I became 23 years old - yes, time is not standing still, not even on me. I am like my soul mate among my friends, that if it comes to arrange others' birthdays we are always attentive and good at it but we would never expect others to return this favor to us. I was happy that this time all I seemed to haven given was returned to me. When the clock tock midnight of September 1st I was surprised with some sweet gifts, our family's friend as guest, strawberry-cake and the most beautiful bottle in history.

I think I am not alone in the world with the disappointment that some certain people miss to congratulate you on your birthday, even though we have penetrating reminders such as Facebook or other networks where we say "Thank you" to those who remembered and share some beautiful moments of our special day. The worst thing about that is if those people post pretty much that day or like the photos you post without any further reaction than clicking "like" - is that what has become of our human society?
Nevertheless I can doubtlessly say that this was the best birthday I have ever had: in the first place because all the goals or rather wishes I had set for my birthday were fulfilled with a proud number of congratulations, a special person writing more than just a simple 'Happy Birthday' and my significant other honoring me on my special day. Furthermore I was surrounded by my most favorite people and wore one of my dream outfits (at this point my huge thanks go to my significant other who was responsible for this opportunity). Last but not least the further gifts I received touched me to the bottom of my heart and will last for ever. The dinner at the Louisiana restaurant and completeing the night on the event "LVRS ROOM - another love story" dancing in the noble club The Room in Hamburg were just perfect.

The gifts I received: the sexy women's long sleeve slim bodycon party cocktail evening mini dress, red roses, a bottle of red wine, a bottle of rosé sparkling wine, money, a personal shopping voucher, a book, a holy bracelet (a new good-luck charm to add to my arm), lots of sweet birthday cards, two tickets for the Hokusai x Manga exhibition, new Vans, a biro saying "love you", a big lollipop, liquer, a necklace pendant with two dolphins forming a heart, the perfect opaque purple lipstick by Kiko Milano I wished for from a friend who could not attend to my birthday, a cuddly scarf, nail polish and Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards.

With gifts like those gifts I can say that I am surrounded by the very best people in the world!
