Beauty Picks

These 3 products need a tribute, because they are my all time favorites.
I have used them for years and they have never disappointed me. First of all Chanel Innocence. It is the best make up I ever had, it gives you coverage and doesn't make your skin look shiny (which is one of the most annoying aspect of some others). Unfortunately I just got to know that it is discontinued, so I tried to get hold of an additional bottle. It is not one of the cheapest, but it is definitely worth it!
Secondly: Lancome Juicy Tubes. I have used this lipgloss for more than 2 years and I love the fact that it looks amazing on your lips and actually tastes like the displayed color. And at last: Benefit Girl meets Pearl. It is a pearl luminizer in a golden pink color that you can put onto cheeks or eyelids or simply onto every area that you want to "highlight".

Food, Jeans and Fashion Markets

Ben and I went to Bondi Markets this weekend. The food market was pretty fun, as they give you free samples at almost every stall. We decided to go there next weekend again with an empty stomach so we can try even more food. The atmosphere was great: lots of people, sunny weather, musicians and freebies.

After that I went to shop for jeans, poor Ben, I couldn't decide which pair to take and I think I was trying them on for ages. I ended up buying both pairs. Oh well, sometimes you just have to have things. I got a good tip from the store assistant, he told me to put the jeans into the freezer to avoid washing them. I haven't heard about that before! I got J Brand jeans since it is a really good brand for skinny jeans. J Brand offers lots of different cuts and styles so they have jeans for every body shape. They also have all the bright colors right now, which I love. I chose red pair since I have a lot of tops that will work with them.

This morning I surprised Ben with Popovers and strawberry butter for breakfast. I got up early and baked them. Such a good start into the day! Afterwards we went to the fashion market. There's so many people out and about, I am glad we decided to live in Bondi. We saw a woman with her cat on a leash. That was quite weird. I took a picture of it, have a look and see how happy the cat was!

I also went out with my friends Sydney and Sara. It was a really fun night at a Penthouse Party in Bondi Beach. I am quite excited for a lot more fun nights with the girls!

Real Men of Genius

I love my advertising class. At the beginning of every class my teacher always shows successful commercials. I have to share this with you as I think it is hilarious. Bud Light produced these ads with the singer of the famous Rocky song "Eye of the Tiger". They were super successful in Australia and Bud Light actually produced 200 of these broadcast on TV and radio. Here is one of my favourites:

This cake...

Since we have moved into our new apartment I haven't baked at all and after Ben telling me lots of times that he would like to take a piece of cake to work I decided to make something. I haven't bought a big baking form yet, so I made my mum's marble cake in the one that I had from before. Silly me didn't think that it was way too much dough for that form and after I put the cake in the oven the disaster began.
The dough started to rise and drop off the form immediately. I couldn't do anything about it. It was horrible! The oven was hot, the dough dripping everywhere and the gutter wouldn't move. The form itself was a rubber form and so sloppy that I couldn't take it out itself. My only thought was my mum, so I called her and, thank god, she could help me of course. My mum just knows how to fix things! It took me in fact 2 hours (without the baking time) to bake the cake and even though I had it in the oven before, it turned out to be delicious! For the future I know that I will only make half the amount of dough. It was the first time I tried this recipe and I am surprised how good the cake is, so if you are interested just write me a message and I will send you the recipe.

Friday Night

Since we had a lot to do on Saturday Ben and I only went out for dinner and a few drinks. We went to our favourite little Café in Bondi. We didn't regret our decision, they just got a new chef and this guy is seriously one of the best chefs ever! I had a fish in coconut chili sauce with potatoes and Ben just went for the good old steak. It was a good start into a busy weekend!

Relaxing Sunday

After all the moving in stress yesterday we decided that we need to relax on the beach for a while. The weather was perfect and we couldn't have enjoyed more. I was quite excited to hear that we might get 24 degrees on Thursday, that would be one of the warmest winter days I have ever experienced in my life! Everyone in Bondi is working out, even on a Sunday! It actually brings me in the mood to go for a run. I should start my work outs soon to get fit for summer. You have to be fit if you are living in Bondi, everyone is just so sporty. I wonder if I am motivated tomorrow morning. Probably not.

In the evening we tried to organise our flat a little. I built all our new furniture while Ben cooked the dinner. It was like a change of roles, me working with tools, Ben working with a wooden spoon.
