The beach is so cold in winter here.

Yesterdays' outfit, probably the last with my beloved selfmade cut offs. I have the feeling I left them too long in the bleach so that the denim became really thin and porous... they are pretty much falling apart. I guess I'll do the same with another pair of pants and just be more careful the next time.

I was wearing:

DIY Aztec Print Cut Offs: Thrift Store ($1) // Converse All Stars: Sutter Hospice Thrift Store ($1) // Polkadot Shirt: Forever21 ($6,99?) // Rayban Aviator Sunglasses ($100)

 

The end always gives me goosebumps.

Wake Up.

Last weeks outfit, nothing special I just wore it while I was at the park with my hostkids.

"DIY" Shirt: Hospice Thrift Store ($2,00) // Shorts: Goodwill ($2,99) // Flats: Plato's Closet ($4,99 ?) // Cameo Necklace: Hospice Thrift Store ($6,00) // Feather Necklace: Tilly's ($?)

"Why do Californians spend so much time in the sun? Because we can!"

They just said that on TV, cocky people! :D
Goood, my allergies are killing me! What is this place?! As much as I love to be here, this has to stop... and I'm already taking those glorious pills they show all over the commercials.
Btw: I should strap them nicer the next time but Julia, are these shoes better?

I AM WEARING: 

button up shirt (Hospice Thrift Store: $2,50) // shorts (H&M: $10,00 (on sale, original price $19,95)) // purse (Goodwill: $6,99) // wedges: free (hand me down) 

You want a love that consumes you.

Today I didn't work that much because my host family is out of town over the weekend and already left around 2pm, so I had a really nice relaxing day and later on I went to the Macy's Sales Day with a friend. I didn't buy anything that was on clearence, but I don't really care because most of the stuff was still too expensive and I have to save money for my roadtrip anyway.

I WAS WEARING:

denim button up shirt (Salvation Army, $4,00) // flower print skirt (Plato's Closet, $8,00) // belt (Goodwill, $1,99) // necklace (Hospice Thrift Store, $1,99) // flats (Salvation Army, $4,99?) // backpack (Salvation Army, $4,00)

Purple Rain.

I took these pictures last Saturday in Mill Valley, it it almost too beautiful there.

I was wearing a dress from Goodwill ($4,99), ballet flats from Primark (€3 ?), a straw hat from Goodwill ($2,99) and a denim jacket (Hospice Thrift Store, $4)

The human body is built to live up to 190 years. We all die young.

Sitting at the lake late at night after a beautiful day in Mill Valley was so incredible peaceful and quiet, unfortunately I ended up being dinner for the mosquitoes.

Coconut Oil.

After weeks of mostly rain, hail and storms (What the hell was that? The great deluge or what?!) it looks like summer finally arrives here in Northern California and nobody could be happier than me!

My lovely friend Julia currently asks on her blog: "Which beauty products remind you of summer?" and I cannot help myself but thinking that my beauty essential number 1 might have helped me to get a slight tan although I normally have pretty fair skin and problems to get tan at all (I have a reputation for being the girl who either turns lobster red or coming back from vacation still looking like a snowflake).

So my summer essential is... Coconut Oil!

First of all, the smell. Mmmmmmmh! Second: You can use it for everything and lazy as I am that's exactly what I need. I put it in my hair, either overnight as a mask or just a tiny little bit in my tips to moisturize them, on my body and even on my cleaned face. And my very dry skin and hair thank me with a healthy shine.

Benefits, benefits, benefits. And did I mention the delicious smell?

"Turns out coconut oil is a great-all-in-one. It is an anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. It improves nutrient absorption. It can be used for cooking. It is a lip balm, moisturizer, shaving cream, deep treatment conditioner, makeup remover, body scrub (mixed with sugar makes a great exfoliant), bug bite balm, Athlete's Foot treatment, and canker sore treatment. It has also been proven to boost metabolism and aid in digest."
