Better...

...than I thought went my challenge with no buying crappy food. I was so sick of buying food for a lot of money and not tasting good. So almost every day I packed a lot of food for during the day. Which was harder than I thought because I had to think of so many different things for a whole day. So here is an example of some things I brought for one day:

Some carrots for in between meals and something healthy. Some sandwiches as lunch and some sweets, so I don't have to buy any candy at the canteen. 

Once I had packed different things to eat it was really easy to ignore the stuff at the mensa. So really the hardest part was to know in the morning what I wanted to eat in the afternoon. I also had to think about the bag I wanted to use. Because if you bring along class stuff, a laptop, something to drink, food and a book (for time going and coming from university) you'll need a bigger bag!;) But it is really worth it. I got to decide what to eat and when. And you know what? The best part of it all is that you don't crave so much sweets if you have them with you and treat yourself one at a time....

Horrible

I am a horrible blogger, friend and student at the moment. At least it seams to me like it...

I haven't been around blogging as much as I wanted to. I had a great time at home and there was so much going on. So many inspirations, much cooking and just really beautiful spring weather. I have so many things on my mind I want to blog about... and so many blog posts I have to tell you a progress about that I don't know where to start. Some friends are still waiting for reply to a mail or letter which I haven't been able to get myself on writing since there are so many other things on my list to do. I am really sorry and hopefully get to you really soon. I feel so bad... It seems like there is no end to the list. And don't get me started on college work. It keeps piling up and I have no idea were to start first. Every time I am proud of myself for finishing some things, there are still so many things to do that came up while doing that first assignment... and the semester is almost over...which freaks me out a little more....:(

At home...

Being at home makes me really boring. I am enjoying time with family and trying to clean out some old things. But honestly I am not doing much and that is always like that when I am at home. At least I got some cleaning out done and some crafting projects... That is however more than I usually get done...:P

In LOVE

I am so in love with this hair care line.

It is completely new here in Germany and I read a flyer and thought I wanted to try it.

Now I am always sceptical of trying new hair care if it is really expensive. I unfortunately bought already so many products that couldn't live up to its expectations. So I bought a trial pack.

But I am fully convinced! I love the smell of it. It smells of bubble gum (all Germans might remember to one gum in the pink (toothpaste-like) tubes...that's exactly the smell). 
The wow-effect comes when you blow-dry your hair. I was so surprised when I looked in the mirror and saw the difference. My hair was smooth, shiny and doing what I want it to do! So great! I am definitely going to buy the normal size product. And I am even thinking about trying the whole line, with the shampoo and conditioner.


100% my own opinion!

ENOUGH

I have enough of buying stuff at a bakery, cafe or somewhere quite expensive and then not tasting good. That is why I want to try not to buy any of those not so good snacks for my body/expensive snacks for 15 days. I wanted to do it for a month but I guess I will be lucky if I can stick to it for 15 days!;) If it is going good than I might go for the whole month but we'll see.

It all started when I ate at the university canteen(mensa) in Hamburg for a couple of days and ending up with food that didn't taste too good. It was weird. The simplest things like spaghetti or potatoes just don't taste like that but rather like something completely different. I have no idea how they do that! So now I will only buy salads (which you can put together for yourself) at the mensa. And also try to avoid the sweet shelves as not to buy any of those overpriced sweets. 

As for going out or doing some more sightseeing I want to bring my own treats...that way I can buy a  big pack at a big grocery store, therefore save money and decide what I want and not just buying anything because you see it in a display (while shopping or so) and think it says: BUY ME!

So I hope it goes well. For today, the first day, it's going well so far. I am at university all day and ate something from the vegetable counter and the salad bar. The price was really good and it tasted much better than the food I had at the mensa recently. 

The Challenge is On!!;)
