Sparkly Dresses

I am going through a phase: I love everything that glitters, sparkles or shines!!! (My boyfriend hates it ;)!)

For my Light Up Event I definitely wanted something shiny....This is what I found:

Hairstyles: Updos

My last hairstyle post featured braids...this time it's updo-time !!

You can find them all on my hairstyle board on Pinterest...

The pictures are not all linked to the exact picture, but to a tutorial that comes close to the style.

Photokina

The biggest photo-related exhibition or fair (whatever you'd like to call it) takes place in Cologne every second year. My first time was 2010 when I got up extra early and took the train to it...
I went there with my grandma and I was completely overwhelmed not knowing what they have there and where several things are...But it was awesome!!

I even bought my first photo background. Which was the beginning of my photo-studio-equipment. I bought a foldable background with a black and a white side. It was meant to be a Christmas present but since I wanted to organize a photo shoot birthday party for my sister, I was allowed to take it home right away and to use it. Of course it's great for single portraits but for a group of 10 girls it was just a liiiiitle bit too small ;)

Well...it took place again this year and I went there with my mommy :) This time I knew where everything was and was able to tell my mom everything. The best thing was that we didn't have to walk everywhere. Just to the places I wanted to go to :)

And we bought backgrounds again!!! I had the best super-duper deal EVER! Usually, they cost 28€ per roll and I ... I'm serious... bought three for 25€!!!! I guess I was just lucky it was Sunday afternoon and the nice English man was great and my pouty-face worked :)

And nooow I'm home for the first time after 2 months in the Big City and it was just my sister's birthday again. And guess what's happening this weekend? Photo shoot birthday party!!!!

This time we'll not only have a background that is wide enough for all of the girls , but we also have different colors: black, white, champagne, seafoam and copper! I'll post some pictures afterwards :)

But here are some pictures of the fair:

Easy Zucchini Dinner

Ever since I live alone, thinking about all kinds of meals is a big part of my life (apart from money problems.........)

This is a really easy, yummy and pretty cheap and fast dinner.

Ingredients:

1 small zucchini
1/2 onion
salt
pepper
butter/oil
pan

Cut the zucchini and the onion into small pieces, heat butter or oil in a pan and add the vegetables...
Then you're pretty much done. Put some salt and pepper on it and you have an awesome dinner - YAY!

To have a little more color on your plate you can add some fresh tiny tomatoes like me !

Bon Appetit
