Hello blog world! I can't believe I haven't written a post since August 2014...that's crazy. I guess many people who blog have phases of blogging more or less. It's hard work to juggle life and to keep up a blog - I'm always amazed by bloggers who work full-time jobs or who are in school. Props to them! My life has gotten kind...
Hi guys! In June of this year I participated in a photography challenge called the "30 Day Snap" which Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter created. The challenge rules were quite simple: upload one photo a day in the month of June - that's it. I really wanted to participate in this challenge because I thought it'd be fun to capture the little things...
Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far! The weather has been treating us very nicely and I enjoyed a barbecue outside with my colleagues yesterday evening which was quite nice. AND I can't help but be excited that it's July because in 4 weeks we're off to Turkey for summer vacation - woot woot! The countdown has officially begun ;) I've...
Aloha! For my snapshot of the day, I thought I'd share one of my cutie pie puppy, Bentley. He can be a crazy, annoying, devil puppy sometimes, but he's lucky that he's so darn cute! I love when he's calm in the early morning and in the evenings - he gets so cuddly! :) xo, Michelle ...
On Thursday, June 27th, my love turned 30! So we went out to dinner for our own private celebration before having fun with friends on Saturday at his birthday party. We went to the restaurant Thai Garden which is in Lucerne. I've heard many great things about this place but never visited myself. I had received a gift certificate so I thought I'd...
Heeeeey guuuuuys :) Voilà , my snapshot for day number 25. I chose to share one of my Instagram snaps and use it as my 25th snapshot in the #30daysnap challenge. This week I satisfied my lust and hunger for products with MAC, Lush and NYX :) I'll definitely be sharing these items in the next days here on the blog, so stay tuned!...
Hi guys! Here's my 24th snapshot in the #30daysnap photo challenge :) This is a very touristy photo of the city I work in - Lucerne (Luzern in German). I love, love, love this city. It's absolutely gorgeous, not too big, and closer to my home than where my last job was. A short walk in the city at over my lunch break...
Aloha :) Here's my snapshot for day 23! Last Sunday, my boyfriend and I and 9 others from his family went to a very well-known amusement park in Germany - Europa Park. Huge rollercoasters, hotdogs, cotton candy and family - can't get much better than that ;) We had a blast! xo, Michelle ...
Hey everyone :) I'm a bit behind on my #30daysnaps BUT I'm determined to finish up this photo series so here's my snapshot for day 22 :) As an early birthday gift, I took my father to the event "Stars on Court" in Zug, Switzerland. Some well-known tennis stars played a few sets, had fun, goofed around and it was fun to watch...
Today's snapshot is another nail polish photo - who woulda thunk it! It's a newer addition to my collection, "Playdate" by Essie. It's the perfect, simple, pastel, purple shade. Very pretty and very girly :) xo, Michelle ...
Hey there, here's a snapshot of my nails at the moment :) I applied two coats of Essie's "Boom Boom Room" and let that dry completely. (Had to re-do a few nails since I didn't let the pink shade dry totally so do take my advice and let it dry - patience is key haha...) I then stuck a piece of scotch tape...
Hi guys! If you don't know what the #30DaySnap is, click here :) This is one of my newest and favorite charms from the brand Thomas Sabo - a beautiful small bird with clear rhinestones on the body. Perfection :) xo, Michelle ...
I'm going to keep it short today seeing as I have to get up at 5am tomorrow and it's already 10pm...boooo.... Mint, anyone? xo, Michelle ...
Happy Monday ya'll! It's sunny and hot, hot, hot here in Switzerland today (at least relatively speaking...). Yesterday was such a fantastic, beautiful, warm Sunday - very rare this year so far! So we had to make an outing out of it (as mentioned in yesterday's #30DaySnap post). And of course, being the "Chinese tourist" that I am, I had to take a...
I hope you guys are having a fantastic weekend :) The weather is treating us really well today so we decided to step out into the sunshine. My mom, Bentley our puppy and I went on a 10km walk in the town I live in. My boyfriend, my dad, my boyfriend's brother-in-law and his son went on a bike ride in the mountains....
Hello lovelies! Today was a very active day and I'm exhausted! We cleaned, did laundry and worked on our balcony - very successful Saturday :) We also went on a little walk with our puppy and our neighbor's dog around the man-made lake here in Engelberg. The views are just breathtaking. So I just needed to take a photo ;) It's from my...
Hello everyone! Happy weekend :) Today I'd love to share with you my snapshot of the day for June 14th. It was my sister's birthday so I stopped by a local flower shop to pick up a cactus for her. Of course, I had to leave with something for myself as well. Oh man... They had so many pretty flower arrangements and vases!...
Hi guys! We've survived half the week, woohoo! The weather here has really been looking up lately. It's gotten really warm and sunny - just as it's supposed to be in JUNE. Weather here was total crap for the last month, hence the title of this post (see what I did there? see?). Anyways, I wanted to share some photos I shot on...
Hope you guys are having a great week so far :) I had a horrible headache today, not too fun. Was glad to get home at 5pm, I'm feeling much better now. Here is today's photo for the #30DaySnap! I just recently finished reading "Blog, Inc." by Joy Deangdeelert Cho (whose blog is wonderful, may I add). Can I just say that this book...
