The Multi-Fruit Refreshing Smoothie (Own Recipe)

Today I thought to show you the making of this really tasty smoothie, which is perfect for the summer. I made this smoothie with my two best friends and they liked it very much. Also thanks to Francisca who helped me with taking the photos for this post. Leave me in the comments if you will make these smoothies aswell :) So let's get this started.

All you need is this small amount of things:
Two oranges, two apples, 500 g of butter milk and a half frozen fruit mix (this is with mandarins, melon balls, peach, grapes, mango, pineapple and apricots, if you have something similar to this you can use that aswell)
At first you have to peel the apple.
After that you have to peel the orange and remove the white peel, just to make sure that you haven't any peel residues in your finished smoothie.
Now it comes to the fruit mix. Put the half of it in the smoothie machine (the best is when you put it in when it's half frozen and half melted, just for the refreshment).

At least the buttermilk. Depending on which consistence you want to have for your smoothie, put the buttermilk in. 

Now it's time to mix it (favourite part :D)! All you have to do is to press the on button and then everything is finished.
And here's the result:

I just put some chocolate sprinkles on the top, because it looks much nicer. You can vary the amount of ingredients just how you prefer it the most :). Hope you liked my little recipe and let me know if you want more recipes ideas soon.
Have a nice week and amazing holidays (if you have holidays :) ) ,

Summer Haul

A little bit late but here's my little summer haul. On wednesday I was at Frankfurt with my best friend Francisca (who was the birthday girl :D). I wanted to try out some new cosmetic/skincare products and so we went straight into a pharmacy to have a watch on the caudalie/bioderma line. And I found some things (maybe too much :D) which I wanted to try out for a long time.
First thing on my wishlist: the Bioderma Sensibio H2O micelle solution, easily said: an makeup remover,I've heard good things about (maybe one of the most hyped products ever). Also I picked up the bioderma Sebium AKN cream, which was recommended by Lily Pebbles and Viviannadoesmakeup in their daily mix drugstore favourites episode (go check them out, they are amazing youtubers and bloggers aswell).

Then I got something from Caudalie, a cleansing milk and a shower gel (smells amazing!!) , even if I wanted to buy their Eau de Beaute (was out of stock). Do you know the situation when you wanted to buy one thing and they don't have it and you leave the shop with so many other things? :D And also I got some free samples from Caudalie (free samples are the best).
Now to the makeup picks. Because I heard much about the butter glosses from NYX (a brand I haven't realized much in the past years) I had to get my hands on one of them and I've chosen Vanilla Cream Pie (very cute name) which is a perfect nudy, pinkish, to-go gloss and the result on the lips is absolutely worth its seven euro. Also from NYX a powder blush, which has a great consistence and looks gorgeous (good quality and absolutely a good budget blush). The coulour name is peachy but I think it's more a fresh pink or rose.
Next to hair products/hair things, where I got the batiste cherry dry shampoo in travel size (maybe you realized how much travel sized things I got, that's because I will go to Barcelona in 25 days yey, stay tuned there will be a holiday diary afterwards :) ) Also I got the invisibobble hair elastic which looks very very weird (like a phone cord from the past) but is also very good.

Last cosmetic item is something from Lush (the best shop in the world, hello bath ballistics obsession) I spent my money on the New Charity Pot Hand and Body Cream ,which incomes are for a great purpose. In the end I got a bath ballistic (fluffy egg) for free and as you can tell I was the luckiest girl in the world (because I love bath bombs) :)

The last items I want to show you are two fashion pieces from Hollister. I got this soft sweather which was reduced (50 percent off yas) and in any case it's the most comfortable sweather I've ever owned. Also I got a jeans short which I'm in love with, because it's comfy and perfect for the summer aswell.
That was my little haul and I hope you enjoyed it :) Let me know in the comments what item you liked the most.
See you,
Karina <3

One Direction Concert - Follow my day


 So finally here's my first ever blogpost :) Last week I was at an One Direction Concert in Dusseldorf on behalf of their "Where we are Tour" and it was absolutely incredible and I won't forget this day because it was simply the best day of my entire life, more later in this post. But at first I have two questions before I will start: What's your favourite member of One Direction? Have you been to a concert recently? Let me know in the comments and i look forward to your feedback. P.S.: Sorry if any of the photos are blurred or if the videos are too loud, because everybody screamed, it's all caused by our HUGE excitement :D

9 a.m. : So my best friend Jacqueline and I woke up and then we ate some breakfast and get ourselves ready for this overwhelming day (i was very tired because we watched "This is us" the whole evening :D). So here's my makeup for the day:

La Roche Posay- Effaclar Duo, Correction Creme (as base)
Maybelline- Fit me Powder in the Shade 250 Sun Beige
Mabelline- Fit me Concealer in the Shade 15
Burt's Bees- Lipbalm Pomegranate
Sleek- Contour Kit ( Highlighting Powder and Contour Powder) in the Shade Light
Alterra- Blush in 08 Peachy
Clinique- High Impact Mascara in Black
Astor- Lipgloss 012 "Sweet Wood"
Lush- Breath of fresh Air (normally a toner, used as refreshing fixing spray)
One Direction- Perfume "Our Moment"
For Nails (oops forgot to take a picture): Essie- Sand Tropez
I curled my hair a little bit and added some hairspray to it.

After that we both had the question: What to wear? It took us a long time to find the perfect outfit, but after choosing we were happy with our choice.
Here's what I wore:

I think i kept it very basic and simple with my Outfit of the day, because the jeans was a highlight with this pattern. In the end it was the right choice because it was very comfy and we were jumping a lot :D
ASOS- Studded Leather Jacket
Topshop- Leigh Jeans
H&M- Top with Lace
Nike- Air Max
Also I had a bag from Longchamp with me which I forgot to photograph.

10 p.m. to 16:30 p.m.: Beginning of our little journey. Jacqueline, my mum and I  picked up a second friend named Larissa and her mother and drove about 3 hours with some stops when we finally arrived. We had a look around the arena and then we went in the downtown to grab some food (pasta :) )  and of course we had a look in some shops. And I went for this beautiful shorts:
After that we finally drove to the arena and we were all very excited (things got serious :D)

17 p.m.: It took us one hour or more (can't remember) to get to the arena, because it was the only concert in Germany and as you can tell the streets were crowded. When we arrived, there was a huge queue at the entrance and we had to wait one hour (I was soooo afraid that we would come too late, but we didn't puuh). After all this time we arrived at our seats (we were at the top-ranking and our view was perfect). And one of my best friends Steffi was one block away from us and we met us later at the break between 5SOS and 1D. It was great seeing her after 6 month, because we live far away from each other.
Around 19 p.m.: 5 Seconds of Summer ( my second favourite band) came onstage and they were amazing and sooo nice! They sounded live very good and they played songs from their new album (you have to get it, it's amazing!!). We can't wait to see them again (maybe on their "Rock your socks out tour" next year)


Around 20 p.m.: One Direction, the band I wanted to see since 2012 came onstage and the whole arena freaked out and we all screamed (never screamed as loud as that day). I can't find the right words to say. They were wonderful. It was great seeing them performing live. They sang songs from all three albums and it was a big big party! We really enjoyed it (after it we were emotional wrecks :D). I really hope to see them again soon because they are good mood maker and they are all wonderful persons and you can laugh with them. One of my favourite videos I made ( i made about forty) is when Niall sang his part in "Little Things" ( whenever I see it I cry because it's sooo gorgeous, sorry in advance for the screams and our oblique tones :D):

So we had a great time, jumped around and danced all night to the best song ever and sang along.
I think this was my post about this special event and I hope you like it.
Have a good day,
Karina <3
