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.
Today I want to share my experiences with Acne, since Tia asked me to do a post about skin care! I thought this would be interesting and helpful for quite a few of you, because I know that sometimes all you want to do is hide your face or slather a ton of make up on. Acne can actually have a huge impact on your self esteem but I want all of you out there who have to deal with it on a daily basis to know that you are not alone and that it does fade away- even if the situation looks hopeless. My Story... I've been dealing with Acne for quite a long time now. I remember it starting when I was about 10 years old. I would occasionally get a few spots on my forehead, nothing too tragic- if I look at it now. Back then all my friends had flawless skin and this really made me feel ugly and lowered my self esteem. 2 years later when I got my period, those occasional break outs worsened and happened more often. At this point I started wearing make up to cover up my pimples ...
I haven't ever told you that I'm actually a huge bookworm since I was very little. I learned how to read at age 4 because my granny was a teacher and ever since my night stand is cluttered with books. Some of you might know that I'm studying English Literature though, which I absolutely love! I figured that some of you might enjoy reading just as much as I do, therefore I came up with the idea to show you some of my favourite books that made it onto my night stand this year! PS: My taste in literature is just as weird as my taste in music. It reaches from teen romance novels to Jane Austen to Crime Thrillers. You were warned. The Statistical Probability of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. Smith Who would have guessed that four minutes could change everything? Imagine if she hadn't forgotten the book. Or if there hadn't been traffic on the expressway. Or if she hadn't fumbled the coins for the toll. What if she'd run just that little...
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...
