Walk the Palm Alleys with me

It seems that after a month here I already adapted to the temperatures and I don't think its hot anymore...maybe this saves me for the killing summer here? My lovely D. took these pics on our way home from work, waiting for the bus. I am wearing a NoName dress from Ebay, which is highly practical and chic at the same time (people asked me at work if I plan to play tennis today... :P!!). This is in my ears at the moment:

Satellite by Lena

Lilly wears: polo dress noname, shoes hm, sunglasses primark, earrings+necklace bijoubrigitte.
Taking pictures outside during the day is especially challenging, because my eyes start to tear after a few seconds already. Most people never remove their sunglasses due to the intense radiance here.

My hair got seriously bleached by the sun. Hair dying for free, lol!

I adore this round-about with marine animals!! Would love to take pictures there, but it's in the middle of the street and I am not sure if its allowed ... =(

Beautiful blossoms at work! How I enjoy all the fragrant flowers here ♥. Right now I have to get back to work. Hopefully my plans for tomorrow work out! See you again soon with more from my daily life here in Israel.

Love,

Impressions from Work ♥

Everything you need to survive on a hot work day:
Coffee and strawberries!

This is my office ♥ (I am serious!). When I get inside, it feels like stepping into a fridge. No idea who left the boat there. Captain Sparrow?

It's too hot to walk barefooted. Do you agree that these shoes were the best investion? You walk in them like on a piece of butter.

Favourite time of the day? Running along the Pier after work and jumping into the sea with a loud scream!! Waaahh!

Creativity Rules! My colleague T. did this last week. Imagine her sitting in the middle of it!

Today the sky is surprisingly cloudy. This evening there is going to be another work beach barbecue. I have to prepare salad and go out to buy bread and meat! All the best to you and have a wonderful weekend! :-*

By the way, how do you like the new header?!

Love,

See the Best Workplace in the World!

1. In this place we drink coffee and have lunch! It is my favourite spot during the day!

2. This is my workplace. My (okay, shared) office is left hand of the main building. There are many trees and other plants to provide us with shade.

3. This beautiful hibiscus grows also in the garden around my workplace. I am amazed by those blossoms!

4. This is "Mitzi" (mostly referred to as "The Devil"). She belongs to my team and my colleague E. is feeding her since she found her one day. Mitzi is around all the time and during the day you nearly step on her about five times or more. She enjoys the attention of everybody here (haha, either they hate her or they love her!! She is cute).

5. Ah, and that's of course me. We were going out to a new bar that evening!

I could not be happier to introduce my workplace today. All those beautiful impressions are around me every day!! I cannot believe it yet! Please understand that I refuse to describe where/what I am exactly doing - just enjoy the view^^. At the moment, we are having a small storm, so everything is dusty due to the strong winds! My flatmate D. (she is so cute!!) fell asleep next to me and I am looking forward to hit the pillow after an exciting day now! I'll describe more about the everyday life in Israel soon and of course there are also going to be fashion-related posts! I send my best wishes to you,

Do you speak Hebrew?

Lilly deep in her studies... :D

The correct answer to this is: Ani medaberet rak zat ivrit. (I can speak a little Hebrew). I love languages and when I am going to a non-English speaking country, I always train to know at least some basics. In this case, it is actually more difficult, because Hebrew (Israel's official language) has a different alphabeth than the Western countries:

Additionally, you have to know the word (guessing from the context) before you are able to read a word, because it is written like that: "mthr" instead of "mother". And the scripture is written from right to left! Therefore, I exercised the phonetic transcription and it works pretty well! Hopefully I have soon the time to get deeper into the alphabeth! These are almost all learning cards I have written (learned) so far (the lipstick works as size comparison, haha) :


I was excited to read that Hebrew is the only ancient language (recorded from 1'000 before Christ's birth) that has been revived recently and is officially spoken today all over the country! Of course they had to adapt it a little and invent words for "Internet" and "Secondhand-Shop", but basically it is one of the oldest languages of humankind! Ah, and... the the Bible is originally written in Hebrew. Lehitra'ot! (Goodbye)
Love,

That is a common reaction when I tell my whereabouts for this summer. A lot of things are going to change during the next days - the secret is going to be revealed: Okay *holdingmybreath*: I am going to Israel! Yeah!!!^^
For the next four months I will be working there and hopefully experience many adventures, the culture and people there! I am flying tomorrow, but won't reach my new home until Sunday afternoon.

I am facing hardships when trying to get into the Internet at the moment, as I had to move out of my home here in Germany already. The last few days were so troublesome...can't believe how many things can go wrong in such a short time. This is what I prepared: A Travel Beauty Set from Nivea!! Hihi...it is awesome^^.

It looks like this: (appropriate for flying restrictions on fluids!)

My travel book, a calendar from my Mam and a novel about women in Israel.

More to come soon!
For LillysRoses, I'll pre-write some posts, please expect the first photos from over there not before the beginning of next week. Please everyone hold your thumbs for a save journey! I am doing my best to organise everything.
Love and Kisses,
