I had to defend my opinion against teachers or friends, that animals do have emotions (-more complex like jealousy and holding a grudge), before. I am very glad for this Yale University video. For me that means next time I just refer to the Yale studies, which also makes me sound more educated and scientifically grounded.^^I like especially the part where the monkey starts crying out of gratitude. It made me also almost cry. ;-) But I knew all this before deep in my heart. I just have to look at my littl...
What I ate today: It takes me 2.5 Minutes to create this food. It is a traditional Bavarian food. Originally it would be "brats with kraut" but I am vegetarian and take the veggie-version. The meal would be complete with wheat beer instead of juice. And yes the kraut is "Sauerkraut" or sourcrout or pickled cabbage. ;-) German children get told the story of the pirates who lost all their teeth if they did not eat sauerkraut. It has vitamin C and was used to prevent skorbut at the seafaring in the early 1...
playing with Mommy and favourite toy Conflict avoiding behaviour is my pet peeve but my biggest pet peeve of all time is: treating animals bad or having an indifferent attitude to your own pet! Did you know that there are people in the world who´s anxiety is more important to them, than their own dog´s happiness. There are people who are so afraid of letting their dog off the leash, that they rather see their dog suffer, than fighting their own fear. I consider myself as kind of an expert in "...

Am I girly? I look cuter in dresses and ruffles and bows. But I dress more casual. I feel more tough than girly. I make it impossible to let my style (and anything about me) get categorized. I don´t categorize my make up stash. It is all laying there and in the morning I swipe it on my face the way I feel like.
I just got home from Hamburg to Munich -which is about 800 km distance. Since I travel the Autobahn for years right across Germany, I just felt like sharing my driving experience. I did travel from New Jersey to Canada once and got so frustrated with the speed limit situation, that I can understand why some people want to try out a car for once. I really wonder what people do with their sports cars in other countries.. Or do they actually build in a speed-limit-ex-factory? The Autobahn A7 is (approxima...
Tart Deco, June, Distraction Chanel´s June was released in Spring 2012. I´m not sure weather it is LE or just new in the range. My counters do still have it... I really like this colour when I´m a bit tan. :D (yes I know, very tan indeed! But in winter my skin is almost translucent.) However it requires 3 coats! No matter how I shake the bottle, it is a little bit streaky so I did three coats. Since it did not chip after one day I guess Chanel might have improved the formula... Chanel June...

Like you would let your thoughts slide while being in an extremely relaxed moment. That´s exactly how it feels to me to read Marias book! That´s how this writing style feels to me. I read "A heart so white" (review here) and was impressed enough to read another one of Marias books. And this book is just a bit of the same. I see this thing when authors have a pattern for there books and just fill it with a slightly different plot, but it stays same difference.. the thing is just that nobody can top "a hea...
