Nowadays I reside at Thoughts from my backpack more often than I do here, so I recommend you to visit my new place if you still want tasty recipes, updates from my adventures and journeys, crafts, photographs and lots of thoughts thoughts!
I hope you will join me on the other side!
Two of my favourite girls are on their way here right now for brunch. The table is set, the strawberries, raspberries, bananas, pancakes and everything else that says brunch has been put on the table as well. The menu says smoothies, American pancakes (regular ones and banana ones) and fruits (lots and lots of different fruits!).
Over brunch we’re going to plan for Paris! I can’t believe that in less than a week we’re there! What could be better than me and my three favourite girls in Paris?!
I’m getting really exhausted. I can feel it throughout my entire body! I’ve been working all days since summer break started, weird working hours and no time for other activities than working, eating and sleeping!
Where is the summer feeling? All I can feel is work, work, work! And pain in my knees, legs and feet!. Sitting down to relax a few seconds is just not a part of my job, unfortunately!
However I’m lucky to have such a great, great boyfriend who prepares dinner for me as I get home! What would I do without you!
After a long day of hard work including studying, exercising and running around down town in the rain and a lot of other things what we deserve is a relaxing evening. So what do we do? We prepare for a home-spa evening!
We took what we had (and bought some as well) and made different stations. This far we’ve got a nail-station, foot-station, face-station, relax-station(bubble bath with body-scrub & face-peeling) and a sauna-station.
It looks like this is going to be one relaxing evening! I really need it right now, to get away from all homework, essays and schoolwork! Also I believe I’m on my way to become ill. My throat hurts, my stomach doesn’t want to be nice to me and my head is nearly non-existing!
Guess what! Drum roll! I just got back from the gym for the first time! It was great! I feel so much better now after exercising & showering!
I feel really excited and I’m ready to change my lifestyle! 2 days every week (at least!) I’m going to exercise in the gym! And on top of that I have tennis once a week and I’m running for my race as well a few times a week! This is the start of the new me! I’m just hoping that I will be able to keep up with everything else at the same time!
School work, my friends, family (tough they’re going away for a week leaving me behind), my boyfriend and my creativity that has to get out of my mind every now and then!
However, I’m 100% sure of that I CAN DO THIS! Because I want to do this! And therefore I WILL DO IT!
It’s been a fight against time to get these ready for today, I’ll tell you that and today I was able to give them to my beloved friends! Which is the reason of me not posting this earlier, since I know they’ll be reading. Anyhow, this is really easy and fun to do!
All you need is some cardboard-eggs. I bought some that were made for being painted but I’ve also used these”ordinary” ones that already have a pattern on it.
Then I just simply painted them with some colours that I know my friends like and decorated them with nice ribbons and some stickers. Finally I filled them with sweets and cute friendship quotes!
And this is the result!
The best thing about this ‘project’ was to see the expressions on my friends faces when they got their eggs. And the comments, and the hugs and everything. However My friends sometimes seem to overreact in these situations making it seem like I am like the best best best friend ever – type of thing.
Tough, I guess I will have to survive that, when it all comes around it is about making others happy. And I know that it is necessary when holidays are coming! I know I feel the pressure, having lunch with the entire family may not always be as sweet as it sounds!
Making others happy always cheers me up so do don’t you believe I did it all for you my dear friends!
Finally my creativity is once again flowing the way it should! Yesterday there was a cupcake club meeting and look what we accomplished! It’s truly amazing how cute they are, we’re just great!
At first we were only supposed to make “Shaun the sheep” cupcakes but since we had many different colors of sugarpaste we couldn’t resist making some pigs, snakes and butterflies as well!
To make these cute cupcakes the first thing you need to do is my basic recipe which you can find HERE tough as you may already understand – skip the Oreo cakes!
Then all you need to do is a frosting which you can find in the same post but once again – skip the Oreo cakes! For decoration we have used white chocolate and sugarpaste, the white chocolate is wool and eyes!
Good luck!
I need to get going to school so that we can sell them cupcakes and get money for charity!
IMAGINE THIS SCENARIO:
You are sleeping. Dreaming that life is wonderful. No problems, issues or argues. Nothing but love, peace, health and wealth.
All of a sudden; beep, beep, beep! Your alarm goes on, telling you that it is time to wake up and get ready for a new day in the real world.
As usual you don’t want to wake up. You tell yourself that five more minutes in bed and five less minutes eating breakfast won’t do any harm. You push the snooze-button and fall back to sleep.
Five minutes later; beep, beep, beep! your five minutes are over. Once again you push the snooze-button but only two minutes later another alarm goes on. You push the snooze-button for that alarm as well.
Three minutes later; beep, beep, beep! the snooze-time of the first alarm is over and what do you do? you push the snooze-button!
One minute later; beep, beep, beep! a third alarm goes on! before you have time to hit the snooze button the second alarm goes on again!
I believe you get the point! and all of a sudden there you are having five different alarms making noise at the same time, and one after another new alarms start telling you to wake up! Seriously! It’s so horrible! I hate it! Unfortunately it is the only way to get me out of bed in the mornings when my boyfriend doesn’t wake me up.

Finally! I’ve been studying, driving with my mum (don’t really want to speak about it, since it was rather… bad!) today. To cheer myself up a bit I will think about oreo-cupcakes for a few minutes, how delicious! Begin by making my basic … Continue reading
“Quoting” Shakespeare? Yes I am!
After having posted about health and training I got a feeling that I had to make it up somehow. Therefore I made cupcakes! half the cupcakes became lovely Oreo-cupcakes an the other half became, not-Oreo-cupcakes!
Tomorrow I will give you a tutorial and the recepie so that you can indulge in these sweets as well!
In the meanwhile you will have to indulge in these pictures, unless you have something else to chew on!
