La Cucaracha Ai Ai Ai!

~ May I introduce our unpopular roomates? Get to know Freddy and his family! ~ (scroll down)

This is my apartment: We have three rooms, a kitchen and a tiny balcony. Each room is intended for two girls, but at the moment we are only three. So I am happy to have my own room. Okay, I apologize in advance to the ladies from the interior design blogs: this is all I got and I made the best of it!

This is my wardrobe. Yees, the doors are broken. The orange book is a forgotten Hebrew dictionary I found! The pink laundry basket is a pleasant luxury I just bought here.

Most of the time I use only a pure blanket as cover (except the Aircon gets too cold). On the shelves are my papaya bodylotion^^ and all my reading stuff. I need an adapter to charge my cell and the camera, cause the electricity plugs are different.

Two nails in the wall - taken over by me to store my necklaces and bracelets (below is my desk). Nice, hmmm? Did you spy all the magazine outcuts/editorials everywhere? The girls tease me about them, but it makes this room more me. With some creativity and improvisation, you can make every place comfortable, oui?

A warning: Now some of you have to be very, very strong
(or just close your eyes!):

This is Freddy.

I found him when I innocently wanted to do the dishes and put my hand into the sink and....yiieeeks. After a few shocked seconds (he's about 5 cm!) I got the camera, before I threw him out. Freddy was the first of five. In two weeks! I should seriously stop counting!!!!

How do you like my place? It never becomes boring, I assure you. When one of the girls screams, I am anytime ready to run to the "scene of crime", with a serious and focused look in my eyes and a self-developed catching-cage in my right hand, built out of a plastik box where you get tomatoes in from the supermarket.

Any ideas for more home style? Actually I thought about some artificial flowers...maybe lilys? If wished, I can post pics from our kitchen and the living room also.
Love and see you soon,


PS: I just got informed that the second light bulb suddenly broke down. Now there is no light in two rooms and I'll put 'bulbs' on top of my to-do-list for tomorrow. Oh happy day :D

Welcome to my new Life!

The flight got delayed for an hour and everything was a little stressful (my train to the airport got blocked by a demonstration!). But the food on the plane was delicious!!

The Israeli Airport (quite amazing!). I arrived there heavily overtired.

The following morning I took a bus to my new home town. They are all green like this one! I was a bit scared to stay at the bus station, because many (also civil) people with weapons (like machine guns) were there (which is common in Israel). However, I did not dare to take a picture of them!

Luckily I met J. shortly after! He is travelling the country and we became friends during the journey! A few days ago we met again and I hope see his country (France) for a visit anytime soon!

The desert. I realized that I haven't been to a proper desert before. Beautiful!!! It got soon freakin' hot! The daily temperature in my new home is around 25 - 30 °C, with peaks during the day with more than 37 °C.

McDonalds can be found anywhere on the globe...and yes now it's proven: also in the middle of the desert!

Edit: I had some major technical problems during the last week and that involved the camera, as well as the laptop and also the Internet. This is solved now for sure and I will be able to update regularly and share impressions from my new life here! More coming very soon, hugs to everybody!
Love,

Birthday Party impressions

On Saturday I recelebrated my birthday (too busy in January due to exams) with my friends. The organisation of all the stuff and cleaning kept me busy for days! I think we were 14 people altogether(?).

A sweet pic of dear Mr. KR and dear Mr. SH. (Normally taking photos of them is more difficult - I told them something funny right beforehand and then clicked as fast as I could. Totally caught, you two!

This is me (left) with Diane and AH.

This masterful creation was done by SH. It is the gift wrapping of my present. Yes, my own coral reef with sharks, corals, rays and crabs - incredible work, S.!!! Loving it.

I prepared the buffet all by myself - with around 30 rolls! Decorating is really fun, I enjoy it whenever I have the chance to. Tasty, awww.

This one looks familiar, doesn't it? I got it from HJ for my birthday and I also have the same jacket in light blue. Now I can combine as much as I like^^. Pictures from the other presents will come soon, I have to hurry now to get to my sport classes.

H&M Home collection 2010

The new H&M Home collection will be available from January 2010. The designs are focusing on nature/animal/flower themes - which I totally like! The Home collection can only be ordered via the H&M Online Shop. If you like to see more of the upcoming collection, *click here*. I cannot decide which of the pieces is my favourite - maybe around 2/3 out of all?^^.
Today I spend the afternoon with my Mam flipping through glossy magazines and giggling about weird styles and accessoires. Tomorrow I will raid a drugstore with my sister and check upon the latest make up products! Last night a dreamt of making holiday in Venice with my friends - maybe this is a good omen for the new year? Have a wonderful weekend! (For me, I still have business work to do...bohooo).
Love,

Desirable

D.e.s.i.r.a.b.l.e. (no further comment necessary)!

Hi everyone^^, today my friend Susu came over for tea and we enjoyed rooibos wild cherry tea and little chocolate pralines...I love tea time with friends!! My favourite cup has a heart-shaped handle (I'll show it to you another time). The day before yesterday I went shopping and found some new interiour pieces at The Depot which I am craving for. I favour their products immensly, so probably I would need several apartments to realize all the ideas that just pop up in front of my inner eye...let's see if you feel the same inspiration! I love,love,love this lavender pillow with the glittering sequins and the cute little birds. Currently they do not fit into my furnishing, so I am still happy to glance at them^^. I wish everyone a wonderful day!
Love, Lilly :D
