Survive at least one month quarantined

Image
Let's make it clear from the start: it's easy for a hermit to love being alone. Unfortunatelly I read in the news or my friends post how bored people in general are because they must drink coffee at home instead in a cafรฉ. Anyway, I challenged myself to blog and vlog my quarantine life for a month. Documenting my lifestyle blog ๐Ÿ˜’ Today, 15.06.2020: I sleep a lot and I am glad I discovered sleep since the corona crisis. Corona crisis hit me like " the oncoming train " and I realized I missed sleeping a lot. It also made me realize those new consumerism stuff aren't that new anymore. They recyle old themes with a horn blasting sound and dazling visual effects but there's no soul in that movie or music video; so I go back in the 70's or 80's. I actually watched any Kaurismรคki film I could find on youtube (planning to order a collection of movies by Kaurismรคki). I listened to old rock 'n roll songs and honestly I felt instantly better. I feel goo...

Becoming popular online

Image
Because my husband is busy working on projects, I decided to share his youtube and soundcloud links to promote his work as an artist and aquire subscribers. I already joined certain group s some time ago but they were never active until the beginning of this year. Now these groups are so active I receives so many notifications I can't even follow anymore. I mean we receive a lot of subscribing requests and we are thankful for it. I am just begining to get more subscribers on twitter . #WritingCommunity has so many wonderful active #writers who makes #bookboost even more fun. It's not like I only spend time on social media without actually working on projects . I'm co-writer on my husband's projects , which means if I have an idea that could be useful for one of our projects, again, I forget about social media and focus on writing. I am also a hobby-photographer so naturally I have a little photography community on GuruShots , viewbug and pixoto , where...

Child Protection packaging

Image
I bought a simple honey pot from a supermarketand I had serious problem figuring out how to open the package in the first place . Then my husband tried to open the package but he hurt his fingers. So it's actually more important to protect lazy adults from taking care of their children, than to educate the population about taking care of themselves. I am beginning to  have the fear to buy a product because I don't know if I can open the package. I lived at the border of Bukarest, where people still had a small farm. My grandma had chickens, hens, a rooster, pigeons, ducks and a dog at one time or another. I learned that my grandma used some pink grains  against rats. Yes, where there is a farm, there are definitely also rats who'd love to eat a chicken. When my grandma told me I am not allowed to check out this or that place, I DIDN'T! She explained to me the things I explained to you above, and that's it. I didn't even need to cry, shout, destroy things...

It's 23.01, so it's time for something called EFIT 06:45 G๐Ÿ˜ฒ๐Ÿ˜ณd morning everyone! Or moin, or hi from North-West Germany! Usually when I wake up it's still dark. I edited this photo in multiple ways and I think some of them would look good as album cover or so 07:45 When I go outside it's still foggy and chill. 9:45 Coffee time this photo I shot in 2014 but I am not to photograph when I am at work 10:45 Right after a short break. I usually drink tea or read a magazine, but when I am in the mood I happen to take some photos . 14:45 On the way  home: I usually like to take some nature photos. 15:45 I also like to spend some time editing my photos.   16:45 Sometimes I receive a copy of Der Hausarzt Magazin , where I publish my photographs. The pink shery and the forget-me-not flowers are mine : 17:45 After I edit some photos I usually upload them on Facebook groups or photo contest websites 18:45 I happened to get...

Random tea receipt

Image
I got cold. Thank you climate change ๐Ÿ˜“ As I was once cold 4 1/2 years ago (since I live in Germany) and I could shake off the cold with some tea and lemon, I tried it today too. Only one exception: marmalade added... well what's left of it, of course. Note: you can do the same thing using honey instead of marmalade ๐Ÿ˜‹ Yummy! Pour hot water; lukewarm water will get cold faster because the marmalade jar is bigger than a regular cup of tea. At this point I had to add water first, then photograph. I had a cinematic idea รก la Peter MCKinnon , but my lens got covered with steam from the hot water. Peter, how HOW do you do all your amazing stuff?! ๐Ÿ˜ Lemon is optional, but it works miracles. I also decided to (re)use the jar lid. Too much of throw-away in this world... Plus, this method may keep your tea hot/warm for longer. If you decide you don't want to keep a marmalade jar in your house, at least, please recycle it correctly .  If you are healthy, stay healthy; ...

throwback thursday of the year and new year resolution

I decided I don't want to pay for unnecesary services to make my blog look professional. It's not about the domain name but the servicess you offer. Right now I am still at the beginning of my blogging journey so I barelly have views on my blog. I am not chasing fame or followers that will unsubscribe in a few days. I read tips and tricks about how to be a professional blogger but this is how trust in a blogger is shattered; those who chase the money and the followers. I'd like to focous on my work as hobby photographer and writer instead of how much money I could lose. There are people who are quite famous for totally different thing(s) on Instagram or any other account without paying for a professional website. I also decided that less is more when it comes to social media accounts. So that's why I decided to keep it simple. While writing this blog I realized I don't have photos that define my lifestyle: like I didn't take any photos to document our...
