An organized home can create an organized self. I am one of the messiest people ever. Make-up everywhere, doing laundry only if i ran out of clothes (but i get to wear everything i own), my fridge is not organized at all. If i do my nails, i leave my gel pots on my desk, lid only put on half. I'm not dirty, i am just not good at keeping it tidy. If I expect guests, I need to clean the whole flat.

But that's not efficient, or even comfortable. I hate it when it is messy, but i am just too lazy sometimes. I got better things to do. Especially when I'm in a rush.

That's why I want to organize everything from start to finish. I want putting things away to not be a chore or complicated and annoying.

First thing is, throwing out what I don't need. Clothes, Make-up, Jewelry and trash in general. I will sell and donate some of the good things and just throw away the really old and shabby stuff.

Then put things into categories and start organizing one by one. I bought little boxes to put away my nail equipment and make-up neatly.

I don't do it all in one day, because my concentration will fade and i just end up stuffing things into my drawer. If it looks clean, good enough. But that is not what I am going for, so I do it when I'm really motivated to do it right.

I believe, that if your home feels right, your mind is right and you're mire motivated to do things, without having a hard time putting your stuff away later.

Let me know if you have any tips for being organized!

Have an absolutely fantastic day ☀️

Trying to "glow up" is my goal since the pandemic hit. And by glowing up, I don't mean to be "conventionally attractive" and to please the eyes of others, but to archive the look I find beautiful for myself. I've always find different looks and styles pretty, even if I wouldn't wear it. Like a mullet for example. Love it on my beautiful friend, it's suits her so well! I would like my hair to be extra long tho, so I wouldn't go for it.

So glowing up involves a lot of patience in my case. Working out, Letting my hair grow, doing a lot of skin care and figuring out what "magical hacks" actually work and what doesn't. I'm still trying a lot of stuff and I spent a lot of money on things I want to try. A face steamer for example. Does it do anything? We'll find out.

The point of "glowing up" is, that you feel the most comfortable in your skin and feel pretty for your own liking.

Have a little me time, slap on a face mask, paint your nails or do whatever makes you feel confident and beautiful.

Beauty comes from within, so a beautiful, calm mind and soul is the most important thing. Your outside is beautiful as it is. Only change if you want to. Fuck beauty standards. Who decides what is pretty or not anyways?

Stay beautiful, healthy and happy and have a wonderful day ☀️

I have a sweet boyfriend since about a year. He is really handsome, funny, athletic and smart. We actually match really well. But since both of us have some struggles with personal issues, we tend to let it out at each other.

We actually met in May 2020, when we both were in stationary care for depression. It's not that severe and we were both there by free decision. I needed to get used to my medication and he needed a break from working to much. He was burned out. Nothing too serious in relation to other patients.

So we knew from the start, that each of us has a package to carry. We became good friends when we were in that hospital. We could go out, because of the pandemic, so we spent a lot of time playing cards, darts, watching tv and going for walks in the garden.

We had chemistry from the start, but we didn't start dating until three weeks after i left the hospital (he got out a week before).

Since he moved here shortly after (not for me only, but his family), he was unemployed. I did have my job at the small Café and started my training as a waitress/hotel receptionist a few months in. It was all good then, but you could tell he was unwell because of not working. He's not the type of person to sit around all day.

When I lost my job it got a little rocky.

We were together 24/7 and we are in a really tiny space. There is no way we were not in the same room.

Now we are at our lowest point and try to make everything work out. Money, not bitching at each other, trying to get our lives together.

But let me tell you: If our relationship, our love can survive those trying times, imagine how sweet it will be once we both are on track. Of course, in every relationship will always be something to fight about and everyone can have a bad day once in a while. But in the end, our relationship will be stronger than usual relationships, because we stuck together in the hardest times. We know, no matter how pissed you are at each other, we can count on each other.

For me it is important to fight for this, because you are with your s/o for who they are. You shouldn't let it go if it's just a little rough. If there are fundamental issues, that's another story. But we are still in this together and here for each other. No matter if we are sitting in this tiny space or in a big house. We still love each other for the person.

If you are struggling in a relationship and don't know who to turn to, I am your internet bff and will listen if you need someone.

Stay healthy and have a lovely day 🌞

I have been unemployed for the last 7 months, because the pandemic got me fired. I was a trainee and still in my trial period (there are usually 4 months they can fire you anytime for any reason) and when the big C hit us with a second wave of many infections, my boss had to choose which employee to keep.

Well. It wasn't me obviously.

So I thought, time to do something else. The next start for training would be in 10 months, what to do in that time?

Nothing. I found nothing. Still haven't actually. That made me think, if the field I chose before, was for me anyways. A waitress at a fancy restaurant/hotel combination. Sounds good, but wasn't. Work schedule was aweful, overtime every single day (unpaid of course), workmates were the worst, and no breaks. Maybe to smoke a third of a cig, but that's it. It was summertime and the "Biergarten", as we call it here in Germany, was packed.

So I thought, that maybe getting fired wasn't to bad. Gastronomy isn't for me after all. So what to do now? Another work training, that is for sure. I want to be completely educated in one field of work, even if I'm not doing it forever. Hairdresser was my dream job, but due to skin allergies, i can not safely do that job. I am really good at doing nails, but here it is not a safe income. You have cheap studios with bad quality nails everywhere. It's good enough for the client, most of the time they don't really know what is good and what not. As long as the nail is long, it's good enough. So maybe one day I'll find the courage to start my business, but that is for the future.

I would really love to be a professional blogger, but I do not know what the fuck i am talking about. So as a hobby it is great, but for a living not so.

So I thought: I love Fashion and I love wearing clothes and nails and make-up the way I want. What jobs are there, where you have full control of those things?

I found it. I will be an optometrist. They all look very eccentric and stylish.

I got asked if I was interested in doing it, when i went to plan out my new glasses. He liked my nails and style and thiught.i would be a perfect fit for the job.

I didn't even think about becoming an optometrist. It never occurred to me, that this would be an amazing job for me. And I get to pairs of glasses free every year.

The moral of this story is, that no matter how dumb you feel in your current position, there will always be opportunities. And sometimes, they will pop up when you least expect it.

Just don't give up and be open to everything. I can not work in my favorite profession, because my skin says "no". I was devastated, but I have to do something regardless. There will always be options for you to try. Believe in yourself!

Have a sweet and lovely day and stay healthy 🌟

In my younger days (11 - 14ish), I wanted to be "one of the boys" so badly. Mainly because I was overweight and didn't think I'd look good in girly clothes. Also I was bullied a lot by the other girls and didn't want anything to do with them. Once they called me Hagrid, because of my very long, dark and curly hair. Very nice nickname for a teenage girl with no self esteem. Especially if you're partially greek and romanian and you have to deal with dark body hair at such a young age.

Anyways, being one of the boys seemed to be my only option. Trading Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh Cards, talking about soccer, anime and video games. I really liked all of those and still do, especially anime is still a big part of my life. But that didn't add up in the early 2000's. Girls and boy stuff don't match. That made me go against my pink, glittery, girly heart and had me pretending, that I would HATE girly stuff. At home I played Barbies, Make-up, Dress-up and all things considered girly. But for everyone else, i didn't like pink, glitter, jewelry, Make-up and especially not boys (in the romantic way). I never wanted to be "like other girls".

That made me think about all people who identify as a woman, who try so violently to be different. Being different is great, be yourself though. I would love to know, how many of them actually love "girl stuff" (things have no gender, but it's still widely spread, that they do) but pretend to not like it, just because they try so badly to be one of the boys. They make it their whole personality to hate the color pink. If you don't like it, that's totally fine. I don't like the color green that much ( in clothes and make-up and stuff) but i don't rage about how i hate it and shit.

Fast forward to me now: pink is everything, glitter is my whole world, Make-up is how i choose to express my artistry and my nails are long enough to stab someone. But that doesn't mean i can't have guy friends (and everyone who identifies as a male). I still like going to soccer games, i really love anime that is directed to a male audience. I absolutely love video games, especially skyrim or god of war. Also not considered very girly.

Just be you, like what you like, dislike what you dislike. Don't make a hobby, fandom or hating things your personality. Nobody will shame you for liking make-up and football the same. You don't have to proof to the world how special you are. Everyone is special, just how they are.

And like i said: things don't have a gender. You can still be one of the boys with a winged liner and you can still be a girly girl with baseball caps and a skateboard. You are enough, do what you like, don't put yourself in categories and if you do, make sure you really love what you do. Stereotypes are bullshit, let's not feed into that. We should make them go extinct instead.

That is an extra long post, but I'm very passionate about people being themselves and who they want to be without feelings pressured into behaving a certain way.

Sorry for that 😬

Anyways, have an awesome day, be yourself and don't forget that you don't have to pretend to be someone you are not. The right people will like you just the way you are. 💖

Stay healthy

I've been through a lot of different phases in my life. Growing up in the 90's was wild when it comes to style.

When i started to pick out by myself what to wear, i really did not care at all. My mom let me do it, as long as it was age and weather appropriate. Not long ago we looked through old pictures together and I had to laugh at myself, because i looked ridiculous most of the time. But some outfits were actually really cute tbh. When I asked my mom why she would let me go out like this, she said that i had my own "sense of style" (if you can call it that) and it was important to her to let me evolve within my personal preferences regarding clothes. In her opinion, there were other things she prioritized when it came to my upbringing.

Now i really do have my own sense of style. Of course like everyone else i followed some trends and didn't do things that were considered "out". I still seek inspiration from others, but I don't really do that copycat move. Nothing wrong with that either, if you like it, it's fine. I just think it is a shame to wear things only because they are trendy, even if they don't really like that style. It's just that people are afraid to not fit in and that is really sad.

I think everyone should wear whatever they like. Some people swim with the mainstream, some go purposely against it. I think it would be beautiful if everyone could swim the way they like and experiment a little with clothes, hair and make-up.

In the end, we only have one life and if we don't live it the way we like, then what's the point?

Anyways, I hope you're living your best life and enjoy all the fashion, because it is beautiful and such an amazing way to express yourself!

Have a good one and stay healthy

I think everyone needs a safe space, where you can just casually enjoy things without thinking about some bad stuff. However, I do think that stepping out of your comfort zone is very important. Of course ideally there are trigger warnings on social media everywhere and you can block out certain key words that would otherwise ruin your day if you saw them and got to think about a certain unpretty part of your own life. But in reality, there are no trigger warnings and not everyone has a filter. Some people talk about their experiences and don't even think about the consequences that could come for the other person.

I think some things should be faced sometimes, even if it makes you feel shitty and uncomfortable. If people would talk more about their difficulties and try to overcome them to a certain degree, that not every little keyword would trigger an unpleasant reaction, they would feel some relief, right? At least that is what I can tell from my experience. Life is hard enough as it is and everyone has their own problems. Even people, that seem to have it all can have really difficult times sometimes.

And again, I think you should put trigger warnings for some topics, because there are times you feel down anyways. It would just make you feel worse and that is totally normal. Or even if you're having a good time, a certain topic could ruin your good mood completely.

That alone is reason enough to face your fears and try to make the best out of it. No one says that it is easy. Trying to overcome things like this is so hard and it won't happen over night, but bit by bit you take back control over your emotions and you will be a litte less fazed by triggers, that would have had such an negative impact on your feelings and thinking.

Once in a while, give it a try and talk to someone you trust, or even a complete stranger who's been trough similar hardships.

Sometimes you have to break a bad foundation down, to build a solid and strong one back up.

Stay strong and stay healthy

Soo since I'm trying a few things to become my most beautiful self, and by that I mean mentally also, I will try out a few different things. Skincare, haircare, self-help books, different gadgets, meditation and workouts (I could go on, but you'll see anyways). I would absolutely love document my attempts to make those work. And a plus is, if someone happens to stumble upon those posts, you'll have a raw and honest review on those things.

Stay tuned and have a nice day ☀️

Being a girly girl is so hard. Always having to make space for new lipglosses. Never having enough hangers for new clothes. Always having to explain that you’re not too dressed up, this is a casual outfit for your standards. The struggle of having to settle for a boring color bc the item you want doesn’t come in pink. Running out of ink in your favorite glitter pen. Such a hard time 😪

I'm currently trying to lose some weight and get really fit in the process. I have a weirdly shaped body and while my arms are sticks, i have all the fat on my thighs, butt and belly. I've lost a lot of weight before because of an eating disorder, which has to do with my depression. I literally lost half of my body and just barely saved myself from becoming anorexic. (From 220lbs/100kg to 116lbs/53kg).

When the pandemic hit i gained almost 44lbs/20kg back and I now managed to loose almost a quarter of it. I'm doing it healthy now but the body I am currently carrying, is not great for my liking. Put a person with the exact same body type in front of me and I will absolutely find them to be stunning and beautiful, but that is not what i want for myself and I am still trying to love and accept myself no matter what i look like now, because everyone is worthy of being loved and so am I. I don't want to make my happiness dependent on my looks or dream body, I have to learn to be happy with myself regardless of how I look. I think this is the key to true beauty. If you feel beautiful, you automatically are beautiful. It's like an aura that makes you stunningly beautiful. I want to build such an aura, so I can be at peace with myself.

This is a really long post and I apologize haha

Hello human beings! Since almost noone really knows me on this app, i will move away from twitter and use tumblr for my self discovery.

But if you happen to stumble upon this post and need some motivation to get your shit together or you're just interested in witnessing a complete fuck-up turning their life around, I'll gladly welcome you to join me on my journey.

Let's see how I'll do.

I need to add, that my content may contain sensitive topics so i will put trigger warnings in my tags just so you can be safe.
