My tricks to re-arrange my room spending as least as possible ♡

Hey little faeries!

As mentioned in one of former blogposts, I re-arranged my room by my own and tried to spend as least money as possible, cause I want to save up money to pay off my debts by the end of the year.

I want to share with you my little "tricks" to save money and still make your room pretty ♡

1. Declutter your room before you start anything else
That way it will be easier to figure out how much space in your cupboard/wardrobe/closet

2. Look if your parents have any paint leftovers, like on the attic or the basement storage.

|| My plan was to paint my whole room white, I looked for white paint. Luckily my parents had some buckets with white paint on the attic. || this may not be working for you, if you want another color. ||

3. Try to re-arrange your room without buying new furniture
|| While thinking about changing my room I draw the outlines of my room on a piece of paper and measured every piece of furniture that I had.
Next step was to think about which pieces have to stay on some specific place (for me it was my bed) and planned from this point on what I want to have next to it on the right side, and next to that, and so on. In the end I was able to throw two pieces of furniture out of my room and didn't even had to buy something new ||

4. Ask friends if they have furniture that they no longer want or need
Maybe one of your friends does re-arrange his room too?
|| One of my best friends did her room some months ago, and no longer wanted her desk and her chair, so I asked her if I can take it off her shoulders. She would have thrown it away, so she was happy not having to deal with it. I asked her how much money she wants for the stuff, and she said, I don't need to pay her at all. So I'm gonna invite her some dinner instead or drive her to Ikea to help her getting herself new furniture||

5. If you have to buy something, look for used products or sales
|| I had to get some wall shelfs, so I went on ebay and looked for some used Ikea shelfs ||

I hope some of these tipps might help some of you if you want to change anything about your room!

Big room decluttering / re-arrangement ♡ || phase 2 ||

Hey little faeries!

After I decluterred my room and when I brought my parents to the airport, I started to get everything out of my room, including my furniture. (except for what you see here because that was way too heavy)

I did take out as much as I could. In the end there were some pieces of furniture left, like my huge wardrobe, my bed, my couch and some shelfs.

Then, I started to paint ♡

It took me three days to paint everything cause I have very high walls and quiet a big room.
It turned out a little patchy at some spots but I'm generally totally happy how I manage it!

Look forward for part 3 and the upcoming video on my YouTube channel! ;3

Big room decluttering / re-arrangement ♡ || the plan, the beginning and phase 1 ||

Hey little faeries!

End of March I started to cul and declutter my whole room in order to re-arrange and paint it.

I planned to do this for a while now cause I really didn't like my room anymore.

It's been like this for around 3 years. I never started to re-arrange it cuase I always said myself that I'm not gonna move out of my parents house soon anyway, so it would haven't made any sense to do anything to the room.

But now I'm saying this for so many years now, that I decided to do it now, no matter what.

My room started causing bad depression and anxiety so it was time to change something.

(I still plan to move out as soon as possible)

As I heard that my parents will go on vacation for one week in mid March, I made up an plan to change everything.

I didn't want my parents to know what I'm doing cause in the past my Mum tried to change everything that I wanted for my room and my dad wasn't very supportive ever in the past.

So two weeks before my parents went on vacation I started to throw as many things out as possible.

I throw out too large IKEA bags with paper. Stuff from school, like from grade 1 till the very last year. Broshures, flyers, old mails, boxes from deliveries etc.

I did also cull my makeup collection and my wardrobe.

I took really everything out of every cabinet/cupboard/closet that I had in my room and decluttered it.

Look forward for part 2 and the upcoming video on my YouTube channel! ;3

How I save money ♡ || without a job ||

Hey little faeries!

I want to share some easy tricks to save up money, even if you don't have a job/big income.
Maybe if your still young enough to get an allowence from your parents, or from your family members.

Like, when I was younger, I did get 25€ every month from my parents, and additionally some money for Xmas or my birthday. All this money would be saved in an savings accout that I opened up when I was 10 years old.

As I got older I got more money from my mum, up until this day. This money will be transferred to my second bank account every beginning of the new month. But I don't have a job right now.
(unfortunatey I had to quit my job and didn't get a new one yet)

So here are my little tricks how I save up the small amount of money that I have every month


Open up an Savings account that you don't touch
unless there is a big emergency, like you have to buy a new car/aptop,phone etc. and save up for something big that you always wanted, like a trip to another country e.g.


Use piggy banks
- Pick a bill
Pick a bill in your mind (like 1€/1$ ; 2€ ; 5€/5$ ; 10€/10$ etc), and everytime you get that bill, you put it in your piggy bank. And whenever it is full, put it in your savings account
or - Throw all your small coins in it
Whenever it is full, go to your bank to get them changed into actual bills and put them into your savings account

Use the H&M Conscious concept to save 15%
For those of you who don't know this already, H&M has a special offer, where you bring them a bag of old clothes that you don't where anymore and they give you a coupon for 15% off of one item of your next purchase.
That way you can get rid of clothes that you no longer need or wear and also save up some money the next time ou buy something.
Read more in the following links:
H&M Conscious (DE site)

H&M Conscious (US site)

Right now, I have around 9 or 10 of these coupons in my purse, and I also gave some to my mum. So I can save quite some money this way.

Don't go to the cinema, make a movie night at home instead
there are places you can lend movies/dvds for a small amount of money.
make your own popcorn or other snacks (that way you can even make healthier choices too ;3)

Meal prep, instead of eating out
the money you spent on food while you're on the run will really add up and you won't even noticing until you see that you don't have much money left by the end of the month.
So prepare meals at home to take with you, like for school or if you meet with friends.
Also, don't meet friends at a restaurant. Go out and have a picknick instead or meet at one of your houses and cook together

Cut other Expenses
like a tanning membership, or any other memberships that you don't use

Simplify your life
get rid of stuff that you no longer need and also try not to get new things that you don't need, like anoher black tank top even though you already have 10 of them in your closet.

Create an wishlist for Holidays
For holidays or festives like Xmas or your birthday, create a wishlist e.g. on Amazon, which you can share via E-Mail to your family, and add things, that you would have bought anyway, or things that you really need, instead of wishing for things that you just want to have.

Look for Sales/Coupons if you have to stock up
if you have to buy new makeup cause what you have is already used up or about to be used up, watch out for sales. Some drugstores have weekly sales of different brands.
! but try not to buy in bulks, cause you'll end up paying more !


I hope some of my tips can help you too!
Leave me a comment if you do anything else or if you gonna try some of my tips ;3

Update: My vegetarian Lifestyle! ♡

Hey little faeries! ♡

End of January this year I wrote you a post about my vegetarian/pescetarian lifestyle in which I explained what I eat and what I avoid.
If you missed it or wanna re-read it, klink this link My vegetarian Lifestyle

After that, I had my so called "semi-vegan February" where I tried to eat vegan for the simple reason to feel better with my body.
(Semi-vegan for February)

In that "vegan-month" I learned to  love cooking and food even more than I already did before. I became much more creative and really appreciated the feeling the "clean foods"/vegetables and stuff gave me due that time.
(you can also re-read my conclusion about my experiences)

Since then, I tried to have more clean and vegan meals and so my eating habbits changed a little more!

It is very hard to think about all the things, so I may forgot something, but I tried my best!

As for food:

♡ I still eat fish from time to time but it got a lot less!;  but I still call myself 'pescetarian' more often than saying 'vegetarian'; when I eat fish, I mostly  eat salmon or prawns if I do

× obviously I don't eat meat

♡ I do eat several meat substitutes (I may do a post about them)

♡ I do eat eggs

~ I do drink even less cow milk than before, but I still eat things, which include milk

~ as for my cheese addiction: I replaced most of my cheese slices for breakfast aswell as the cheese I put on my pizza and pasta with vegan cheese substitutes; I'm only eating real cheese as a snack now

× I try to avoid sweets with animal gelatin in it

~ I don't drink many juices, but I try to avoid drinking those cleared with gelatin. But when I really want to try something, I'd still drink it when gelatin is in it

♡ I do love Tofu! But unfortunately I don't eat it that often.. but I try!

♡ I eat honey, and always will since honey is one of the most healthiest things in this world

As for clothes and cosmetics:

× when I shop for cosmetics, I only buy from companies that claim to be cruelty free (all cosmetic products I still have from former times, I use up, and replace them with cruelty free ones, when I have to buy something)

~ when I buy new cosmetics when I used up my stuff, I try out products, that are vegan

♡ I do have some more apps, to get an overview about products that are cruelty free

VEBU App

Kosmetik ohne Tierversuche

Bunny Free

HappyCow - FreeVersion

♡ my hair dresser is a flagship salon of Paul Mitchell (which is a cruelty free brand)

× I don't buy clothes which include sheep wool or angora 

×  in winter, I also don't buy coats/jackets with any sort of fur trim, since there was the scandal about several animal hair types claimed to be fake fur; also I look for ones without down feathers

Others:

~ I may have taken or currently take medicine which may be tested on animals, but my point of view is: I could have died already without medicine, so I try to help stop animal cruelty due my lifetime, which is given to me du those medicines

There are many other things in life, which can be replaced with a vegetarian/cruelty free alternative, such as pillows, furniture, household cleansers, and all those household things in general. But I'm not at this point in life yet, cause I still live with my parents and they won't change a thing for that ~

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

♡ = I do eat/use/like/support  

~ = use sometimes/trying to avoid, but not fighting for it/I'm in conflict 

× = I don't use/eat/like/support

After two weeks internship without personal development

Hey little faeries!

New video is online! ♡

Visit my channel ♡

Announcement! I'm going semi-vegan for February! ♡

Hey little faeries! ♡

I do have a big Announcement! I'm going semi-vegan/clean eating for February! ♡

A friend in university told me about that she is 'semi-vegan' now and told me what that means for her.

I also googled it, but there it was said that it is a kind of 'flexitarianism' whith which I disagree,from my point of view..

No matter what's the definition of it, I'll call it like that anyway!

To me it means and will mean, that..

♡ I'm going to eat lots of fresh and clean fruits and vegetables

× I'm quitting on eating meat substitutes

~ eating as less dairy products as possible (since I still live with my parents, and have to eat what my mum cooks)

× no fried foods, like the fish burger I always eat out

× no precessed foods, like cheese and other breakfast things

~ no sweets (except for a piece of chocolate with high level  of cacao from time to time)

♡ soy yogurt, soy milk, almond milk

× no overly processed foods (as far as possible)

But!..
I will eat non-vegan/clean foods when I don't have another option!

That is, what semi-vegan/clean eating will mean for me this month! ♡

I do have already enough stress with other things, and I don't want food being one of them, which it would be when I'd be strict vegan for this month.

I feel already like shit the way I eat, which is one reason, and probably the most important one, why I decided to do this for this month.

I am and feel always bloated, and have a lack of energy. I feel like crap those days, and eating became something I'd rather skip.
But food means so much for me, since I realized that starving is horribly unhealthy for your body and your mind! That's why I decided to take a break from unhealthy foods, and to eat as clean as possible! ♡

I hope some of you can understand it, and won't hate me for my decision ♡ I really want to feel free!

My vegetarian lifestyle ♡

Hey little faeries! ♡

I thought I could tell you, how I chose to eat through the past 4 years, without meat ~

First, I'll tell you about the background and how I started.

Well, in 2011 I decided to  loose 'some' weight. I don't want to get into it too far, so I just tell you I've become anorexic at that time.. At the same time there were some scandals around meat and eggs, so I took this as an excuse to stop eating meat for the first time.

My mum accepted it but was worried, that I may don't get enough protein and such, so she started buying meat subsitutes for me.

When I was down to a weight that I liked I started to eat meat again. I don't know how that happened.

From that on there were phases were I stoped and started eating meat again and again.

In 2013, how I already mentioned in my 'Start a healthier life! ♡' post, I decided to become vegetarian. I didn't know much about it at that time and learned a lot from my boyfriend, who started being vegetarian in 2012.

It is very hard to think about all the things, so I may forgot something, but I tried my best!

So now, I want to tell you, what it means to me, when I say I'm vegetarian/pescetarian, what I still eat, what material I don't use, and so on..

♡ = I do eat/use/like/support  

~ = use sometimes/trying to avoid, but not fighting for it/I'm in conflict 

× = I don't use/eat/like/support

As for food:

♡ I still eat fish from time to time; sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less; that's why I call myself 'pescetarian' more often than saying 'vegetarian', when I eat fish, I mostly  eat salmon or prawns

× obviously I don't eat meat

♡ I do eat several meat substitutes (I may do a post about them)

♡ I do eat eggs

~ I try to drink less cow milk, cause I realized that we aren't meant to drink milk, from another living being, but I still eat things, which include milk, as well as cheese (I can't live without cheese!!)

× I try to avoid sweets with gelatin in it

~ I don't drink many juices, but I try to avoid drinking those cleared with gelatin. But when I really want to try something, I'd still drink it when gelatin is in it

♡ I do love Tofu! But unfortunately I don't eat it that often.. but I try!

♡ I eat honey, and always will since honey is one of the most healthiest things in this world

As for clothes and cosmetics:

× when I shop for cosmetics, I only buy from companies that claim to be cruelty free (all cosmetic products I still have from former times, I use up, and replace them with cruelty free ones, when I have to buy something); I don't care if they're vegan or not

♡ I do also use some apps, to get an overview about products that are cruelty free

But I'm not at this point in life yet, cause I still live with my parents and they won't change a thing for that ~

So what type of vegetarian am I?

I've honestly no idea what to call my lifestyle, since I have many vegetarian but also vegan components, as well as some ecological supporting ones.

I think I don't need a specific name for it. I eat vegetarian food sometime so I'll #vegetarian, when I eat pescetarian I'll #pescetarian, and if I bought something cruelty free I'll go #crueltyfree x3

(feel free to tell me, when you have an idea how to call it anyway xD)

Why?

People always ask vegetatrians why they don't eat meat, and why they are vegetarian, and why they do this and that.. A lot of people say, that they do it for the animals, cause they love animals more than humans. Personally, I don't see it that way, but that doesn't mean that I think there wrong. It's simply not my motive.

But honestly.. I can really tell why I live that way. It just started for me some day and I liked it, and now I identify myself with it and I actually like to do it. It's kinda fun for me.

I wouldn't even say, that anyone inspired me to do so, but there are many people out there, who do their best to introduce others to the vegetarian/vegan lifestyle and to explain, what it really means, going much further than the subject of animal cruelty.

Here's e.g. Morgan Joyce, which I found through this video without looking for it.

Start a healthier life ♡

Hey guys! ♡

Lately I watched how many people I'm sourrounded from, especially in my family, having several problems with their health and are suffering from several diseases..

With 19 years I was already suffering from lumbago (lower back pain) and since I have my boyfriend, who's really healthy, and always talking about being healthy and eating healthy things, I started thinking about getting healthy aswell..

So it was clear: I was going to live a healthier life!
End of March, my boyfriend and me went to his former fitness studio and we got registered! 
And I have to say, it was the best decision in my life!
Eventhough, I got into hospital two months later..

I also started to eat healthier due this time!
..and I posted it on instagram to get an overview about what I eat in a day,
and also not to be able to 'cheat'

We also went back to be vegetarians at that time!
My boyfriend is at that point 36 weeks without any meat ~
I decided to be pescetarian, since I really love fish, especially salmon and shrimps, and going without it completely I wasn't able to manage in the mental state I was (and still am) ~
I also had some weak points, where I ate meat, so I'm really vegetarian/pescetarian from August 1st til now!

Due the time I began to go to the gym regulary, I also started to buy lots of gym clothes, which I'm going to show you in another post ~

in conclusion:

(I don't count my hospital time in)
I feel so much better since I started to live this healthier life! And I don't regret any of the decisions I did!
I don't regret the money I spend in it, I don't regret to stand for my believes in front of my family, even though we're constantly in conflicts from that on..
As I said, it was the best decision I ever made in my life so far!
And anybody, who may be afraid of any of those steps, I promise you, you'll find your way to feel amazing!
It may not be the way I'd taken, but there is definitly one that suits you the best!
And you'll find people who support you!

As for me, I'll keep going to the gym, will stay vegetarian/pescetarian, getting into clean and healthy eating!

It makes me happy! And that's what I'm going for in future! ♡
