2013 Recap: Music Pt. I

Here are some of my favourites from 2013. There are many missing but at least I wanted to share some of them. Here we go:

Macklemore&Ryan Lewis - Same Love

My top 10

Here we go with the things I liked lately...

• Closet shopping
  I've heard about that a lot but never done it before. You just open your closet for someone else if you have too many clothes you're not wearing anyway and they can try those things on an buy some of them. I did that this week and found some really nice dresses

this one, for example

or this one ;-)

• Autumn
  I love it, just like every year and the past days were just lovely

• Boots
  Also an autum thing ;-)

• The public holiday tomorrow
  Because it means I'm going out with a couple of girlfriends tonight
• Amy Macdonald
  Currently listening to a couple of her songs and I just love them. Did I even tell you that I went to see her on stage with my Mum in August? She was gorgeous and it was such a nice concert...
• Muffins
  You know, I'd always choose cooking over baking, just because I prefer savory food to cakes and all. But I do like muffins and bisquits so I made quite a few lately. I also have some great ideas for more muffin baking which I might share with you soon
• Looking at pictures like these
• If you want to be a happier person, maybe you should stop doing some things
• I am always thinking about getting a pixie cut again.
  Who wouldn't want one when looking at those pictures?
• Did you guys know that we have a lighthouse in Cologne?
  If you don't, then you should really check it out, it's beautiful! See here and here

So, what were your favourite things lately?

Music of the month

Here's some of the music I liked in the past weeks

• Macklemore & Ryan Lewis - Same love

• Katy Perry - Roar
  I don't know why but it's really catchy, I kind of like it and I'm humming it all the time
  
• Maxim - Rückspiegel
  It's so poetic, a bit sad but still so positive...

• Avicii - Wake me up
  I still like that one although it's a bit older already
  
• Labrintth - Express yourself
  Whatever you do, do it good! Gave me a lot of power during the last months (and is still on my workout-playlist)

What have you been listening to lately? I'd love you to share!

Jenny, xoxo

My top 10

I haven't done that in a while but here's what I like and liked during the last weeks:

• My birthday
  
  

  

  with cake

celebrating with people I love

and presents ;-) 

• Trying new stuff with my iPhone camera. Thanks to Katja I have found some lovelynew apps. You should give them a try if you're into stuff like that

I like almost everything that Elsie and Emma do, this app is no exception. I like it for putting in some text or doodles. The app costs E0,89 but the two girls definately deserve it!

PhotoStudio. It's pretty cool for giving your pictures a little special effect. The basic version is free so try it!

Hipstamatic is my favourite. It looks like an old Lomo Camera and you can choose which film you want to use and if you need a flash and all before you take the picture. Then you take the piture and have it "printed" in a few seconds. It's so much fun, I have taken hundreds of lovely pictures with it. It costs E1,79 but I really like it a lot so it's worth it. It even has some sound effects ;-)

• Berlin
  I told you before how I liked Berlin
• Minimalism
  I listened to an interview on the radio lately. They said that every person has about 10,000 different things. One guy reduced his stuff and now has only 100 things. Imagine how you can really make your life more simple and appreciate things more if you have less stuff. I am really thinking about how I could make that.
• Reuniting with Sophie in Berlin

  We met, got something to drink and to eat and sat by the river talking for hours. It was so great, I really hope we can do this again (with the rest of the girls)
• Bastille - Pompeji (especially this acoustic version)

• Are you an arts and crafts addict? I am...
• Joy turned 32 and made a lovely list of goals
• Ask yourself one of those questions from time to time
• Playing the piano
  
  
  I went to a music store with my brother last week and while he was getting his bass guitar fixed I had a look at the pianos and fell in love. I really like to play, it just makes me happy! I have a keyboard at home but playing on a real piano is so much more fun. It's just too expensive! Anyway I'm going to practice even more now and one day I hope to be able to buy myself a piano!
