Exploring little SIENA

As the weather wasn’t always the best, we decided to go on a little adventure and explore Siena. After an hour of driving (as I see it not too long) we arrived in this little city built into a hill. All the little paths are pretty narrow and some of them pretty steep. My grandfather, who is 94 years old, had some issues climbing up but the beauty of this little town also amazed him.
On the top of the hill there is a little church which looks pretty cool from the outside, because of its painting. The main square has something special: every year horses are riding around there and thousands of people happen to be watching it. My grandpa said it is absolutely worth seeing. I don’t know exactly when this happens but I will link some information about it here.
My boyfriend and I explored it by ourselves and we found some cute alleys with lots of nice shops in it. All of them where total Italian – everything was weather made by hand or a unique object.

But here is the most amazing part about Siena – the FOOD: we came to places where pizza costs only 2,50€ per slice, but one slice is as big as your head. Also the taste is absolutely delicious. One thing Italian can do is cooking, weather spaghetti, meat, pizza or sweet stuff – when Italian start cooking it is always a culinary delight.

I hope you enjoyed my little Story about Siena and can’t wait to visit it as soon as possible. I swear by god, this city is amazing, wonderful, fantastic. Although it is very small it has so much love and attitude. I can recommend it to anyone who also loves Roma or any other Italian city.
Please let me know if you have ever been to Siena or if you want to go there one day.

Cortona – Our Paradise

Cortona – okay 10 minutes away from it – that was the place where we stayed last week. I can’t imagine something more beautiful or quiet. We have been seven people and had a villa made for fifteen – so as you can tell we had room enough.

This house – no VILLA – was so big that everyone could find a space to be alone if wanted. We had a huge kitchen, two living rooms, more than enough bed- and bathrooms, a SPA section, a giant pool with jacuzzi and if needed a playground. This house may be quite old but it has some secrets hidden. The TVs, for example, are hidden under the pictures. If you don’t stop looking, you may find a hidden treasure.
This 10 hour drive (because of a massive jam) was absolutely worth it!!
The name of the house was LA MADONNINA, for your interest I will link it here.
But enough from me – enjoy the pictures:

We spent an amazing week here, had so much fun and also explored some bigger cities in Tuscany, which I will show you in another post. Also if you are interested I have lots of Outfits I want to show you, so please stay tuned to my blog, for more upcoming amazing stuff.

Ready for Tuscany

Finally. I’ve been waiting for this trip the whole summer. As I haven’t been traveling all summer so far this vacation happens right on cue. My boyfriend and me had been working so much that we really need this time off the schedule. 
So I thought it may be interesting for you what I pack for such a trip. 

As I wasn’t allowed to bring my whole wardrobe with me, is here what I packed into my amazing little pink suitcase: 

essentials:

Next to the usual stuff as underwear, shorts, T-shirts and so on I have some key pieces I always bring with me. As I am suffering from Acne I need to bring my prescribed cremes and gels with me. Fun Fact: If I am leaving just over night I have more stuff with me than most people for a whole week but I can’t leave this at home.
Also an essential is sunscreen – this is very important especially when you are going somewhere hot in summer. I like to bring 2 – one in SPF 20 and one in SPF 50 so my whole body will be prepared.
This may sound a little bit weird but I am never traveling without my coconut oil. I use this for nearly every part of my body – for my hair and body – to stop it from drying too much, and for my nails and lashes to keep them strong.
Obviously I need my swim wear and some sunnies and something to throw over my bikini on the beach.
What I always bring with me on a vacation is a book or at least a magazine to read next to the pool or while tanning.

What are your essential things for a vacation? Let me know in the comments or if I have forgotten to pack some pretty important stuff also tell me. 😉 
Hope your summe is also going pretty good so far.

First Tattoo

Freitag, der 23 Oktober. Wie lange habe ich diesen einen Tag schon herbeigesehnt. Vor genau sechs Monaten war ich das erste mal in diesem Tattoo-Studio und habe der Tätowierein erklärt was ich gerne hätte.

Ich habe mir meine Motivwahl wirklich sehr sehr gut überlegt. Mir war wichtig, dass es erstens eine Bedeutung hat und zweitens mir immer gefallen muss. Beide Kriterien sind erfüllt. Die Bedeutung dieses Tattoos ist sehr persönlich und werde ich daher auch nicht in meinem Blog veröffentlichen. 

Viele von euch werden sich nun Fragen: Hat es wehgetan? Wie viel hat es gekostet? Wie war die Tätowiererin?
Eines nach dem anderen. Ich war im Mystery Touch Tattoo Studio in Gleisdorf und hatte Enie als meine Tätokünstlerin. Sie war wirklich sehr sehr nett und hat mir alle meine offenen Fragen beantwortet und auch ausgezeichnet gestochen. Ich kann mich wirklich nicht beschweren. Es war alles sehr hygienisch und ansprechend.
Ich kann euch gar nicht sagen, wie nervös ich war bevor es losging, meine größte Angst waren natürlich die Schmerzen, aber zu meiner großen Überraschung hatte ich keine. Es war unangenehm, das muss ich zugeben, aber niemals so ein Schmerz wie ich ihn mir erwartet hätte. So einen, dass man gleich Ohnmächtig wird. Aber ich denke mir auch, dass das von Person zu Person unterschiedlich ist.
Nun zum finanziellen, ich musste 50 Euro anzahlen und habe im Endeffekt nochmal 50 Euro zahlen müssen, außerdem habe ich mir eine Salbe gekauft, die der Regeneration der Haut dien, die ich wirklich jedem nur ans Herz legen kann, wenn ihr euch entschließt ein Tattoo stechen zu lassen.

Ich habe ne Frage an alle Tätowierten, hat es euch eigentlich weh getan? Wie lange habt ihr für euer erstes überlegen müssen?

english version

Friday, October 23rd. I have been waiting for this day to arrive so hard. 6 months ago it was the first time I went into this Tattoo-Studio, called Mystery Touch. I told the tattooer what I want and made an appointment. 6 months is such a long time.

I really put all my thought into the motive I was going for. On the one hand, I wanted something that has a powerful meaning to me and on the other hand I wanted it to please me every single day. Both things are fulfilled. The meaning is very personal to me so I won’t tell you here in my blog. 

Some of you may have some questions now. Like, did it hurt? How much money have you spent? How was your tattoo artist?
First of all, my tattoer was amazing. She was so nice and kind and answered all of my questions without being annoyed. Also her working skills were perfect and she really focused on what she was doing. The studio was very hygienic and the ambiance was very chilled. I’ll link you the studio site here.
I’ve been so nervous before but surprisingly it didn’t hurt at all. I mean it wasn’t comfortable but I expected the pain to be so painful that I’m losing my conscious immediately. As I see it, it depends on the person and the placement of your tattoo.
Going on with the financial stuff. I had to pay 50€ beforehand and than another 50 bugs, so all in all it costed 100 € plus 5 for the Tattoo Cream. I can really recommend this stuff because it helps your skin regenerate afterwards.

To all the tattooed people out there, did yours hurt? and did you had to think about it such a long time like me?

xxx yours Nina
