Offline – Where I End And You Begin

By 6 Comments

I was struggling a long time to find an appropriate title for this post. I changed it several times and I still think that it does not encompass all the things I am going to say here.

Being a role model is never easy. Especially because I did not choose to be one. There are so many mistakes you can make and the more you grow your audience the more you have to be careful about the things you say or do. Because you are watched now. Being watched never really was a problem for me, as I am lucky enough to live in a very humble city and I am surrounded by a down-to-earth family and a bunch of fun and full with  “joie de vivre” people. However, there is a fine line between being watched and being judged. …

Breakfast in bed at KEMPINSKI GRAND HÔTEL DES BAINS – ST. MORITZ

By 4 Comments

After spending my last three months in London I had this deep aspiration for silence, nature and relaxation. Yes, I think I am never going to be a “city-girl”, because I simply love fresh mountain air too much. So, the idea of taking the train to St. Moritz last Friday, made me forgot about all the noise and struggles from the city. I felt like heading to Hogwarts when passing long green fields of green , sparkling blue rivers and impressively high mountain walls soaring just a few feet away from the tracks where the train rushed through. Not less impressive was the view of the KEMPINSKI GRAND HÔTEL DES BAINS where I would spend my next two days….

Morena – WHY FEAR FOOD?

By 4 Comments

Happy Monday my dear readers. Today’s blog post is a very special one, because it is a guest blog posts from a blogger I know and value for 3 years now. Morena and I, share many values and thoughts when it comes to self-love and a healthy eating/fitness and lifestyle approach.

How did you become a blogger?

I think besides the question of “How did you get so many followers on Instagram?” the question of how this all started is the most frequent one.

Well, I can’t give you a cheesy fairytale, but a real insight on how I became a blogger. …

Small details about you – My followers

By 15 Comments

I think it started in high school when I felt attracted to boys, who took attention. You know it’s the small things. When he knows what you ordered last time at Starbucks, when he asks you about the exam you told him three months ago and he still remembers. The best friend that pays attention and knows better than you, why you overreacted in a certain situation or why you are inexplicably sad.

One day I will find you – Love letter to my dream job

By 2 Comments

I want that kind of job I don’t stop talking or thinking about after 5pm because it still haunts me at night or the next morning. But sometimes I want to just have a time out from it. I want a job that challenges me to the limit but still keeps me in his arms when I am feeling lost or when everything is tumbling down. A job where people encourage each other to do things differently and where freaky ideas are daily business.

By 9 Comments

I think my food journey is a rather long and unsteadily one. I have been through phases, experiments, and diets.  But then again who hasn’t. You read something, you see progress pictures and then you want to change something and try.

Sometimes it turns out well and sometimes not.
