Music Monday #8

Today I want to share two songs that I like because of the summer feeling it gives me. Warmth, freedom and doing what you want, I'm looking forward to the summer!

The Paper Kites - Bloom



Local Natives - Who knows who cares

Music Monday #7

Bastille - Icarus
I'm loving Bastille's music more and more every time I hear it. This song has an amazing beat and I like the clapping.



Bastille - Flaws

This weekend...

 ... did I bake a chocolate coconut cake of which the recipe needs a little perfection and is then ready to be shared,

... did I do a lot of homework in the sun,

... did I discover a new tv show called Da Vinci's Demons, which I already like quite a lot,

... and did I make some sketches after I had gotten a new idea for a story.

I hope you also had a great weekend!

Real beauty sketches

I found this video quite inspiring so I wanted to share it with you. It's about the way women see themselves. Dove asked women to describe their own face and a stranger did the same. Gil Zamora, who is a Forensic Composite Artist drew both descriptions. It's fascanating to see the difference in the way those women see themselves and how others see them.

Music Monday #6

Last year I did an internship at a Swedish farm. There I heard for the first time a song by First Aid Kit (they are Swedish). I've loved their music eversince.

First Aid Kit - Lion's roar
This is probably my favorite song of them!

A rose from a stranger

Yesterday my friend Suzan and I went to an openday of an university. We visited a presentation of Nutrition and health, Earth, water and atmosphere and Enviromental sciences. We went there by train and on the way there we both received a rose like this from someone. I love it when strangers do stuff like that, it makes my day.

I'm still not sure what I'm going to do next year. My plan changes almost every day. There is just so much I would love to do! Earth, water and atmosphere and Environmental sciences seemed very interesting, but I'm also still thinking about studying Medicine, Astronomy, Psychology, Rehabilitation sciences or just taking a gap year to travel, work and learn a new language. It's so diffucult to choose! Suzan sugested that I should make a list of all the things that interest me, so that's what I'm going to do.

Chocolate cupcakes with frosting

Today I made chocolate cupcakes with frosting. They turned out pretty small, but they tasted so good! I never made frosting before, because I thought it would be difficult to make, but then I found a recipe which seemed supereasy. And it was! The recipe I used can be found here.

Have a lovely weekend!
