Online shopping is pretty much my life, especially since moving to Germany. There are two choices 1) go to Amazon.de and search the English term for what I’m looking for and it still come up in results (i.e. oscillating standing fan), order it, and have it delivered to my door two days later or 2) [...]

pancakes & warm apple brown sugar topping.

Sometimes you need to treat yourself. My favorite ways to treat myself are a trip somewhere (even if just outside the city), a new shirt, a unique cocktail, a delicious meal, and sleeping in (this last one probably happens too often lately to count anymore though. Yesterday, I craved something sweet, but with the grocery [...]

something special about germany.

There’s something special about Germany. It’s a side that no typical tourist would encounter, but surely (hopefully) any expat has not missed. It’s the Germans attention to nature. Sure, we can joke about the plethora of hiking equipment and the popularity of the Jack Wolfskin brand, but there’s more to it than that. There’s a [...]

One of the greatest coincidences of all-time occurred on Tuesday evening. My dear friends Lauren and Maggie were over for a standard evening of wine and “The Bachelorette” when something incredible happened. Lauren made a video compilation of music, photos, and videos from last year and as we were reminiscing, we spotted a familiar character. [...]

You know how sometimes, you see pictures of a destination that blow your mind (thanks a lot Pinterest) and then, you go to the place, and indeed it is beautiful, but only a skilled photographer could truly capture the stunning detail of the location?

Summer is finally here in Germany and it’s easily reminding me why I endured the 6 month winter. Funemployment is actually fun these days as the entire city comes out to enjoy the sunshine, making it seem as though the population has quadrupled and creating curiosity about where the heck all these people hid all winter. I [...]

wedding hangover.

ifs ands & butts — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 12:25:53 +0000

Before going into this whole ordeal, WHY WHY WHY did nobody tell me about wedding hangovers? Yes, I’ve been to weddings before, but this was my first bridesmaid experience and it truly takes the party to a whole other level. 5 hours of sleep on Friday night + 4 on Saturday night + an international [...]
