At the end of October a friend and I hopped on a plane to spend the weekend in Berlin! This little getaway couldn't have come at a better timing, as we were dying to get away from our busy schedules for a couple days. We were both excited to roam the streets of this beautiful city, ready to stumble upon some of the many hotspots it has to offer, but also leaving time to explore its famous landmarks. Berlin is truly amazing and I'm actually very lucky to return soon and have the chance to learn even more about its stories and culture. I mean, we discuss history and society in our German cultural history classes at university, but actually being in Berlin, picking up the atmosphere that lives amongst its citizens, is so different. For now, here's a quick picture roundup with some highlights of my latest trip!

There is nothing like the occasional splurge at Lush Cosmetics. Sometimes I'll go there to celebrate when I've completed hard work (or not, Procrastination could be my middle name) and I want to reward myself with new bath goodies, or I buy a backup of something and end up getting more than I had allowed myself before heading in. The welcoming staff, colourful displays and the luscious aromas in the air make it hard to resist. Over the past couple years I've built a little selection of favourite products which I buy over and over again. Now, if I tell you a bit more about my picks, would you be willing to share yours in the comments? I'd love to know what your favourites are!

Autumn is here and I couldn't be more excited! Obviously the summer months are amazing, but Autumn is just as charming for its own special reasons. I thought it would be fun to tell you why I enjoy this season so much, so I took a couple of 'TAG' series that I found online and combined them into a new list. I hope you'll enjoy this post and please don't hesitate to tell me what you love about Autumn in the comments section!

We are now halfway through Summer (I can't believe I'm saying this) and I thought it was about time I'd show you my makeup picks for the months of June and July. This time I'm focusing on lips and cheeks! I haven't worn a lot of foundation lately. Instead I slapped on a good amount of moisturiser or a serum each morning to keep my skin hydrated for a day at work, where I was hiding from the heat wave we had a few weeks ago while preventing my skin to dry out from the airconditioning inside the building. To make my complexion more healthy-looking, I wore blush pretty much every day. To top off my summer look, I added a lip gloss or lipstick for a (subtle) pop of colour and extra hydration.

It's that time of the year again! Summer... The time when I am so busy doing everything and nothing that the blog gets pushed into the background for a little while. I never do this on purpose, but it happens. I'm sure you all know the feeling!

I'm actually writing this to give you an update on what I've been up to. June was a blur, as always. After four years at uni I'm still not used to the mayhem that is preparing for exams. On one hand it feels like I'll never have enough time to study, yet somehow the days are very slow when you're sat in front of a desk all day. Fortunately I was able to combine work with uni after the worst - a.k.a. five exams in a week - had passed, which felt refreshing after a semester of attending classes, writing assignments and other school-related responsibilities. I had my last day at work yesterday and I was actually a bit sad to leave. My thoughts've been elsewhere since, though, because I am leaving for Ireland tomorrow! We fly to Dublin where we are renting a car for the week to explore the west coast and possibly other areas of the country. Relaxing and having fun with friends is something I've been looking forward to for a looong time! Uni assignments will be waiting for me when I get back, but for now I'm just going to enjoy the moment and focus on the trip.

I am going to attempt vlogging while I'm there! No promises, but I'll do my best! I'll be posting on social media too, so keep an eye on my Twitter and Instagram if you'd like to catch a glimpse of the beautiful Irish landscapes.

Are you travelling somewhere this summer? I'd love to hear about it!

PS. The sky was on fire last week! I was so happy I was able to take pictures of it. It was even more beautiful in real life!
