Breaking my silence on Blogger Day

Today is Blogger Day, which is held every year on 5 August. This day celebrates one of the most popular platforms in the world: "Blogger", with its original subdomain blogspot.com. Blogger was founded in 1999, an incredible 25 years ago, and was acquired by Google in 2003.

I've been quiet here for a while, but today felt like the perfect occasion to break this silence. This time, however, it wasn't because of writer's block or because I didn't have enough time. In fact, I have many posts in my drafts, but since they were made for a specific day, which I always ended up being late for, they won't see the light anytime soon, maybe next year.

The reason for my absence this time is different. I have been spending my free time with the newest addition to my home, an adorable furry friend. She inspired my dog-inspired wishlist in this post. 🐶

On Blogger Day, I don't think there's a better way to celebrate than reading a few blog posts and leaving comments. So grab your tea or coffee and enjoy some content today too.

🠊 And the question regarding today's post: Are you a dog or a cat person, maybe even both? Let me know in the comments section below. Also feel free to share your favourites from the wishlist above. I look forward to reading your answers.  😊

Lots of love,

I knew that today would already be the first of December, but somehow I only realized in the morning that it also means that the first day of the opening of the Advent calendar is also here and that means that there are only 24 days left until Christmas. This also means that the time for coziness and Christmas decorations has officially arrived.

I've been browsing the internet and would like to share some inspiration with you in the form of decorations, clothes and quotes and at the end of the post there are also a few links to old DIY's from the blog.

Be inspired and have a great start to December. 😊

I already have a few Disney-themed selections on the blog, but today there's another one, because you can never have enough of Disney.  :)

This month we celebrate - among other things - some Disney-related anniversaries.

It may sound unbelievable, but Donald Duck made his first appearance in "The Wise Little Hen" 87 years ago, on 9 June 1934.

Daisy Duck is slightly younger, and she too celebrates her anniversary this month. She appeared under her now familiar name in "Mr. Duck Steps Out" 81 years ago, on 7 June 1940.

The "Hunchback of Notre Dame" was also released in June, more precisely on 21 June 1996, and thus celebrates its 25th anniversary in a couple of days.

Last but not least, "Cars" celebrates not one but three anniversaries this month. The film was released in many countries this month in 2006, exactly 15 years ago. "Cars 2" also came out this month in 2011 and celebrates its 10th anniversary while "Cars 3" was released in June 2017.

I don't have Cars or Donald Duck on the selection below, but I hope you enjoy the items that are from the Primark website.

 White gloves, red pants, yellow shoes. I don't think there is anyone who doesn't know who Mickey Mouse is. But you might not know that the mascot of The Walt Disney Company celebrated his 90th birthday this year. He was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks at the Walt Disney Studios and his first apperance took place on 18 November 1928 in Steamboat Willie, which is considered as his birthday. 
Mickey Mouse received 10 Oscar-nominations and with "Lend a Paw" (1941) he actually won the award. In addition, on his 50th anniversary, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and like all major Disney characters, Mickey Mouse is not only copyrighted but also trademarked.
I collected some of my favourite Mickey Mouse pieces here for you, and I hope that you like it as much as I do.

1 - Hooded sweatshirt (Disney Store) / 2 - Mickey Mouse (Disney Store) / 3 - Necklace (H. Samuel) / 4 - Keyring (Primark) / 5 - Duvet set (Studio) / 6 - Watch (H. Samuel) / 7 - Bath fizzers (Superdrug) / 8 - Vintage mug (Disney Store) / 9 - Standing light (Primark) / 10 - Pyjama bottom (Primark) / 11 - Socks (M&S) / 12 - Bath set (Primark) / 13 - Ring (H. Samuel)

Do you have a favourite item from Disney? Or a memorable moment that is somehow related to Mickey Mouse?

The world needs your light

"Keep shining, beautiful one. The world needs your light."

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Living in a shared flat I can tell you that I can not wait to move into my own apartment. With no unwanted surprise guests - especially if you thought you would finally have some quiet hours alone -, decorating all the rooms to my own taste, just as I would like. If only money would not matter here..

In today's post, it's all about the lighting. I do not know if it's just me, but for me the right lighting plays a very important role. If it's not right, too light, too dark, or it may vibrate, it can easily cause a headache or make your eyes tired soon. The floor lamps are a good alternative in my opinion, but if you want to have a lamp as a decoration, which is also practical, fan lights are for example for you. Below I collected some of my favorite pieces.
Pendant lights are the classic, I think. And on the other hand a ceiling fan is for those who want to have things multifunctional. It's a lighting, a decoration and of course a fan. Most of them are very quiet and with their pleasant breeze they can be a really helpful partner in the hot summer days.

You can choose a design with a modern appeal or with a touch of vintage. The right lighting brings class, style, glamour, retro feel or whatever you prefer in your room, adding the finishing touch to your space.
 
What kind of lighting do you have in your room? Which one is your favourite in the picture?
As always, you are welcome to leave a comment below.

Have a wonderful weekend!  :)

Come with me to gaze at the stars

ENGLISH

August ist the month of star-gazing. The weather is good, mostly it is not so cloudy, so you can have a great view. (If not, you still have the opportunity to watch starry patterns online, for example on Dresslily.)
I don't know if it is just me, but I just like to stand in front of my open window in the evening, putting my elbows on the windowsill and looking at the stars, finding the Big Dipper, and when I am not in the big city, even the Little Dipper. They look the same everywhere and that’s why they can make you feel a little safer, wherever you are, even miles away from your home.
I love the stars, you could even guess it from my blog design, and that’ what inspired today's wish list. All items are from Dresslily and I really hope you like them.

DEUTSCH

August ist der Monat der Sternenguckerei. Das Wetter ist gut, meistens ist es nicht so bewölkt, so dass man eine tolle Aussicht haben kann. Ich weiß nicht, ob es nur ich ist, aber ich mag es einfach, vor meinem offenen Fenster am Abend zu stehen, die Ellbogen auf die Fensterbank zu legen und auf die Sterne zu schauen, den Großen Bär zu finden, und wenn ich nicht in der großen Stadt bin, sogar den Kleinen Bär. Sie sehen überall gleich aus und genau deshalb können sie dich ein wenig sicherer fühlen lassen, wo auch immer du bist, selbst Meilen von deiner Zuhause entfernt.
Ich liebe die Sterne, man könnte es sogar von meinem Blog-Design erraten, und genau das hat die heutige Wunschliste inspiriert. Alle Artikel sind von Dresslily und ich hoffe, dass du sie magst.

1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 9 / 10 / 11 / 12
