Autumn is finally here! I know I know- September
has just started which doesn’t automatically mean Autumn has as well,
buuuuut as crisps mornings, frosty evenings and pumpkin spiced
everything is now in the country, for me Autumn is as well. (Also, the
stores bringing out Fall Decoration and Fashion is a reasonable
explanation for Autumn’s arrival!)
A few days ago I found a recipe
on Pinterest while being stuck on a stuffy- aired London tube, which I
reaaaaally wanted to try out. Luckily, I had all the ingredients at
home, so I could start off right away!
These
very autumnal muffins turned out better than I thought, they tasted
super amazing and even my friend Phil, who refuses to eat anything
‘unmanly’ and ‘veggo’ was surprised by how delicious they tasted,
therefore I thought I’d share it with you!

Ingredients & Instructions
Before you start swinging your whisk, preheat oven to 350°F/175°C
Mix together: 1 ½ cup of sugar, 2 eggs and 1 cup of oil
Pour into previously whisked mixture slowly: 3 cups of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon baking soda
The batter will be very thick!
Last but not least, shred 2 apples and 3 carrrots and mix them with the batter.
Fill muffin tins and bake for 20/25 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.
Recently I've been a veeery busy girl trying to keep up with the whole Uni/Acting/Blogging hurly burly and I have to say I'm quite proud of my achievements so far. Although I love what I'm doing and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world, sometimes it can get pretty tough handling so many things at once. I'm barely leaving my office anymore except for lectures or filming; I'm either trying to get Jane Austen's oeuvre in my head, spending hours analysing The Great Gatsby or learning scripts... One thing that has definitely saved me is self-made smoothies. I usually just throw stuff in the blender and experiment which combination of fruit tastes nice, and by that I have discovered the probably best thing I've ever drunk! I'm calling it the 'Energy smoothie' since it gets my head clear and makes me feel motivated and energetic! It would have been very egoistic to not share this with you since some of you are probably facing Uni Str...
In my opinion, how you spend your morning can have a huge impact on how the rest of your day is going. So I decided to transform a super popular video on youtube in a blog post! I'm not exactly a morning person and on weekends I love to stay in bed until midday, therefore I force myself to get up super early on week days, otherwise I feel like I'm unproductive and lazy. My alarm usually goes off at 5:45 am but I only ever manage to get out of bed at 6. Those extra 15 minutes in bed really help me to wake up though and are usually spent cuddling with my boyfriend or scrolling through social media if he hasn't woken up yet. Then I make my way downstairs to my kitchen to make myself some breakfast. I'm not very hungry that early in the morning, so most mornings I go for a casual cup of tea with some granola or a toast with some avocado mash- which I've especially been enjoying since it's getting warmer outside! Depending on the weather I either eat outside ...
As some of you may know, I'm a huuuge tea addict. I drink about 3 cups a day all year round simply because I love the taste and it calms me down very quickly, so when I moved to the UK I was overwhelmed by the variety of tea several shops offered. However, in my home town in Austria there's a little shop called Mayr's Tea & Design which beats all tea shops I've ever been in. Besides selling unique jewellery and decoration, they also produce all sorts of tea themselves only using natural and organic ingredients. I didn't want to miss out on such deliciousness of tea so I made my friend Phil send me tea this Autumn. Two weeks ago the package arrived containing 10 packs of tea. Obviously they all tasted heavenly, but I wanted to share only my five favourites with you! Wolkenschieber The title alone is beautiful! The term Wolkenschieber translates to Cloud mover and I think this sounds super Christmassy! I remember my friend Lily and me playing with our b...
