My little brother just got back from his first days at the Federal Armed Forces, and everyone at home is just crazy. XD We were so worried about him, my grandparents, my cousins, everyone called at least once a day and asked if he was alright and if he had called us already and if yes, what did he talk about. Mad house. ^^ He was only gone for three days now, starting next week he will truly only be home on the weekends. I was worried, too, but he's pretty tough and strong, so did know he'd be fine. ^^

I signed up for Korean lessons last week. I'm very excited! :D Sadly it didn't work out with the language school in Potsdam, as it closed the same time I tried to sign up. :( It's a bit of a bother, to be honest, it takes an hour for me to go to Berlin now, the language school in Potsdam would have been perfect as my working place is situated in Potsdam, too. :/ But I hope it will work well in Berlin, too. I don't know yet when classes will begin. I was told they didn't have enough applications atm. We'll see. ^^

And I finally got a new haircut and hair coloring! :DD It only took like 2 hours, the first time I went there it took 5 hours, I'm not kidding. XD It's a darkish brown with some tiny bit red reflects, especially when the sun shines on my hair, I think it's so pretty and brings out my brown eyes more. ^^ Some friends say it's a bit too dark and I seem more pale now, but I'm working on my tan, so it's ok! Haha ^^

And I shop like crazy atm, I really need to get this under control soon. ^^; I can hardly keep track of all the orders I did, so many nice things to buy. :D Just yesterday I got my first genuine leather bag!!

( Handbags are love! )

I love it. <3
It cost a fortune, I usually don't spend that much money on a handbag, but this one I'll keep forever, so it IS worth it. ^0^

I need to get one more summer bag and one beach bag. And that's 'cause I'll go to Kreta for my summer holiday! :DDD Wohoo, I can't wait,
I actually don't travel much, this will be my second time in a foreign country (class trips don't count!), the first being Poland with my first love. ^///^ This time I'll be with a colleague from work, she's fun and we would have loved to make a cruise with the AIDA instead (our big dream!), but it's really expensive, so we've settled for something equally nice, but more cheap. Well it's not cheap, but, ok, it's less expensive. XD It still costs a lot lot lot, but it's more affordable, omg, a year ago I would have NEVER spend so much money on a holiday! XD

This is where we'll reside LOL (click for full size)



All inclusive, many sport activities, huge pool, beautiful nature...*LOVE*

Back to the beach bag. I was about to buy this one, when I noticed it was only available in black now. :( *don't like* Ahh~, the disappointment....I'd have liked this one to be a regular bag, too. :( It's so shiny!
( BagsBagsBags ^^ )

There are still about 2 months left before our flight takes off, so I'll keep looking for some nice handbags. ^^ Recs, anyone??

I recently got into Bubz Beauty Tips --> BubzBeauty
I absolutely love her videos, she's so super pretty and cute, and she's so nice, I'm going to buy some of the products she advised, you see i can't stop shopping now! LOL
Anyone have experience with BB creams? I heard of their existence yesterday and have been reading lots of reviews, and there are so many different products! Since Bubz loves the one in the video below, I'll try that.


Now, I hope everyone is doing well! Summer is here! ^O^ *HUGS* ♥

I love her, she's gorgeous. :)

The Changmin layout was getting too dark for me, sorry Min. <3 So it was time for a change again, I really hope this layout will last far longer than the ones before. Now that I don't have to think about my own layout anymore, there'll be much more time for general graphics.
(as promised)
Saa~~, I'm sad, the Min layout made me feel like...depressed, even though it's Min. ;_; I'll never do a grey layout ever again. I don't like grey.

I had a lot of fun fullfilling your request, dear. <3 Enjoy the result! :)

And once again I customized the css code by minty_peach . She's awesome.

And here's how to do it.

Instructions

( I'm so into you )

Hopefully everything is the way you wanted it to be. Remember to tell me, if there's anything you'd like me to change, ne? <3

I hope you like the banner, moonkisu ! :)

&

I fixed the icon, too (silly spelling mistake ^^;).
Enjoy! And tell me, if there's anything you'd like me to change. :)
