Pink Tights

 Life feels good in pink tights!

Music Monday "John Surman - Whistman's Wood"

As I was in Istanbul, my friends and I went to eat dinner in a restaurant, where you could eat organic food of the region. We felt really comfortable and stayed till it closed. The music, which was played that night, certainly made us stay that long. That's why I asked the family, which owned the restaurant, what music they were playing. 

The other night it was raining and somehow the name of the artist came to my mind. It is John Surman. I searched him on youtube and found this song, which is really beautiful. The tones are played with a clearness, with a strong feeling and a beautiful melancholy, which nevertheless doesn't feel heavy.

I'd love to be able to dance to it.

Uncasual Thursday

 The other day I met a good friend of mine, who convinced me to start a project. His one is called "Uncasual Tuesday". He is working something with IT, that's why he doesn't have to dress up to go to work. Nevertheless he had some suits hanging in his closet, which never saw the daylight. So he got the idea of wearing them on tuesdays together with some work colleagues. Every Tuesday you can discover a new picture of him and his colleagues posing in a funny way on facebook.

He gave me the idea to have my own uncasual day, becaus in my opinion, we don't wear elegant clothes enough nowadays. 

My weekday happens to be on Thursday because it's the day I spent most of my time in university. So those are my starting photos. I was ill that's why it had to be really warm, too. 

By the way, I am trying to convince some of my fellow students to join me and maybe some day we will take funny pictures, too. Who knows. :)

P.S.: This is my new Sideboard. Once I decided what I want to put inside, I will show you proper pictures.

Back In The City

 So glad to be back!

Unfortunately I have at least one essay to write till the end of September, but I can have fun in the evenings only, too. That's ok. I just have to stop me from sleeping in too much. :D

End Of The Term

Glasses From Jimmy Fairly

 


Gladly I don't need to wear glasses. But if I needed some, I would definitely think about buying a pair from Jimmy Fairly.
The glasses are quite reasonabled priced as the cost of a pair starts at 95€. The lenses are manufactured in France and the frames in Italy.
Besides every time you buy a pair, another one is donated to a person in need. This is a wonderful idea in my opinion. (Buy one, give one.)

Braces

 Now that the term is over, I wish I would have more time. But everybody seems to have their birthdays in February. This is really weird!

I am still painting the room, because the wall paint, which was underneath the new paint, still shines through. Hopefully tomorrow I will have finished this project.

 Besides I thought about the blog and I want to use it more for personal stuff. Such as introducing you to green clothes, labels etc. and maybe writing about ecological things and nutrition.

As an example I am kind of eating vegan now. (Actually I don't want to call me that, because I hate that label!)

It is just one step further than before, because I lived milk and dairy free as I am lactose intolerance and I don't like to eat meat. Now I stopped eating eggs, too. But don't think I want to be treated as a good person or such blah blah. If someone made organic bacon and scrumbled eggs for me in the morning, I wouldn't say no. I just don't cook with meat, milk and eggs for myself anymore. But now and then I will eat meat or eggs again, probably also at my parents place, because it's just easier for them.

Most important is to eat concious, which means for me organic food and to be aware of how much you eat and why and where your food comes from (the same applies for clothes). Cutting back on meat probably would be a good option for the regular German.
