Germany :)

Hello my lovely readers, :)

I´m back from my holidays :D
How was your summer?
autumn has arrived, it's getting colder, rainy and windy, but let´s get my warm thoughts of the summer out again.

I was barely 6 weeks in Germany, it was really wonderful I met some new friends from Taiwan, Romania, and Lebanon, the last two of them got married and live in Dubai. and I saw my family again :)
My grand-mother-in-law from Guatemala is visiting my parents-in-law.
I´m a very fair person so I decided to split the vacation in half with his and my family. I saw my youngest brother-in-law the first time after almost 1 year again (after school he decided to do a social year in Guatemala and Chile) and I met my best friend again, I did a vlog video with him but he don´t want me to make it public :( I can understand his decision.

The weeks in Karlsruhe (parents-in-law) were very recreative. my little sister and his boyfriend visited me often, because she couldn´t wait longer to see me. We went together to an indoor swimming pool, drank some coctails, coffé, ate ice-cream and the single most delicious burger on earth (at least for me), my husband always tells me from in-n-out, jack in the box, or white castle in the states - can´t wait to eat fast food there :D
I could refresh my spanish with mamam (grandmother-in -law), we played cards, and we cooked and baked together :) she was very impressed with my cooking and baking skills^^ and we laughed together a lot :)
Sometimes it was a little bit stressful because of their latino temper, even after 6 years I haven´t get used to it. It gets very loud sometimes, in an asian household it's the same - but you know it´s a joke most of the time, and in a latino houshold they really mean it ;)

I met some Youtubers in Frankfurt :) I was looking forward the most to Jeannette and Mira, both are beautiful and funny. Actually I didn´t want to go to that meeting but I really wanted to meet Jeannette, we wrote us in Twitter before and she seemed to be a really nice person. I was positvely surprised how natural, pleasant and funny she is. In short: the meeting was very boring, the food was not good (bad luck to choose the Falafel), most of them weren´t  like they are in the videos and they were shallow, but some of them (really rare) were heartly, open and honest. I didn´t expect to see one of my viewers, I only wanted to meet some people with the same passion as me, but you can be disappointed very easy with this approach. Next time (if there is one, but I don´t think so), I'll only go to a meeting to see good friends ;)

Now let´s start with my family :D
Long time ago my mom and my older sister had a Thai restaurant. You can imagine what that's supposed to mean^^ my mother did everything what I ordered and she made a lot of food. I really missed her food :) I saw my babies again :) My older sister and my older brother both of them have each 2 kids. I have 4 siblings :) and all of them have a partner. We are alltogether 16 people in the house :): loud, lot of food, and much to talk. I took time for everyone, I don´t want to regret anything after I´m going, you´ll never know what happens in the future.
I was 1 week with my parents, 1week with my oldest brother and almost 1 week with my older sister, my young sister was like a shadow behind me, she was always by my side :) I love her so much! Thank you Ami <3 I saw my other brother only once :) he´s very busy

The times flies very fast, I didn't have enough time for my friends :( they will kill me in the winter for sure :D
The weather was very hot, it was perfect for trips :)
My husband and I went hiking with Ami (young sister) and Aron (her boyfriend) in the woods on a little but steap hill alltogether 4km. It was very exhausting, we used the difficult way (no path, no helping structures), but it was very funny :D everyday something to do :)

My mom and Ami droved us home, it was very funny in the car :) we took 6 hours (they drove very slow)

now to the pictures :)
I just noticed that the most of the pictures from the summer still are in Germany, I will add them to the blog as soon as I get them.

Beautiful Thoughts

Hello my lovely readers :)

ATTENTION: This is a philosophical text about my thoughts, if you don't feel like reading heavy stuff right know, you should probably either skip it or read it later... :D
...and don't worry, my next blogpost is going to be definitely more fun!

I never thought that my blog would get so much attention :) (from all of you who wrote me, I didn't expect anybody to write so I'm really happy for every comment, it means a lot to me) or that I would be giving a good feeling to all of you. I thought that I would be 'talking' to a wall or to only few viewers who read or watched me/my blog for a few seconds and then forgot me like a newspaper. In the past I didn't get much response so I thought I can take as much time as I want to make new blogposts, there was nothing to push me, from time to time I even almost forgot my blog.

I thank all of you from the bottom of my heart, particularly Anne, Chung Cha, Aely, Eun Jung, Johanna, Maria, jumpysunday, mysunnygreentree, Jenny, Kelly. I´m really grateful for your kind words and the time which you take to write a beautiful comment to me, you pushed me and gave me extra joy in my life, because of you I have more passion to spread my luck and my love

Thinking is easier than doing ;)

I never felt as being special or important for anyone (it's not really that important for me but I felt like a bug in a big world :) kekeke) apart from my husband or my family. My siblings are all growing up and have a "new" family. They are all focused to their family and I completely understand. I´m a person who doesn't want to burden anyone at all, particularly people with much responsability :). What I want to say is you are never to old to grow up. I´m 24 and married, but my heart and soul feels like 17 :)

Don´t be afraid to open your mouth and say what you think. In the past you surely hurt somebody you love like your mom or somebody else by telling them something or yelling to them. And if you can do it with people you love you shouldn't back down or be shy with people you don't really know or who treat you disrespectful and don't really merit you being nice to them.
If you can´t avoid the person be polite but keep your distance, talk with them when you need to, but ignore them as far as possible. They'll probably notice something sooner or later, and realise they behaviour was not correct, but keep your distance until you have the feeling they really mean to change and are sorry for what they did.
Please don´t forget to give a second chance, everyone deserves it!
And everybody can change. Never be rude, they can take it as a weapon against you, and you wouldn´t be better than they be acting this way. The person tried to hurt you, he (she) will be annoyed if you ignore him (or her), so you will win because whatever you do you are happy and not full of hate like him (her).
Maybe he (she) will notice it, and if not it´s not so bad (after all, it's not possible that everybody likes you), give always your best and you will never regret your actions.


Don´t let the bad people into your mind, you don´t owe them anything.
And if people say bad things about you, listen to them. It´s not bad to hear what the others say because You are the one who decides what's right and wrong in your life. You know the best who you are, You have the choice to do what you want(within your abilities), no one has the right to treat you like they want. You are the lucky person who can let go of bad thoughts and of people who treat you bad. Don't keep thinking about bad things that happened to you in the past, you can't change them after all. I know it's easier to say than to make, but you should keep trying.


That´s one reason why I´m full of love and joy, there is enough suffer in life, we all have to fight for our inner happiness. Sometime it´s easy, sometime very hard.
It's easier to suffer, it´s easy to be lazy, it´s easy to have a bad mood... but it´s really hard to be good, like to be nice, to say no, to be consistent...


We always have to fight for good things!

Everything you do or must do - do it with your heart or try to act as if you love it, sometimes you'll really start loving to do it. If you think oooaaahhhh noo, you are already blocking it and you will only do it halfway and withour really wanting to, manipulate yourself to doing the things in a good way. :)

I always try to fill my blog with as much love and joy as I can, as I want to share it with you.
There is always somebody who needs it. Everybody falls down from time to time and needs to rest to be able to face the next fight in his/her life. And it gives them time to be stronger and wiser the next time, they'll be able to protect themselves better than before.

I really hope it helps you to let go of all the bad things in your mind.
I fight every day, every hour and every second of  my life to have joy in my heart.

You probably noticed that I´m more of a writer than a speaker :D
I consider to make the next step, and to write a little bit more of my philosphical side and passion.

Lovely greetings and I wish of course a good morning, a good afternoon and a wonderful night to all of you readers out there.

a warm hug and a kiss on your forehead

My Sunshine

Hello my lovely readers :)

I want you to know that my niece Leyla has a Youtube channel, I really love and miss her, and of course all my nephews and nieces, too. Since I live here in Salzburg, I only see them twice a year, for me really too rarely, I used to see them almost every 4 weeks :( but luckily I can see her growing up on videos. Hope you have as much fun to watch my endless sunshine Leyla as I do^^

My favourite video from her is "What's a horse?" (and "Sprite! Sprite! Sprite!" which is coming soon on her channel)


While I watching her videos I have to smile every time and they make me happy, so I hope she will have a similar effect on you :D

Leylas Happiness

And for my new readers I do video´s too, but only in german and soon with english subtitles ^^

ok everyone hope you´ll have or had a nice day

lovely greetings

NYX Review

Hello everyone :)
I hope your week starts really good like mine :D and if not don´t be sad :) listen to the birds in the morning they will sing all of your bad mood away ^^ trust me :) sometimes we forget in a loud present time like this the simples beautiful things on earth like listen to the nature for example a drop from the rain.


I promised more than a year ago a review about my NYX products
ok I start with the lipsticks :)

Lipsstick
The lipsticks are difficult to wear in my opinion, especially the peach bellini, you can´t have dry lips in any kind of way, it will make it visible and go in any wrinkle you have on your lips :(
but if you spread it with your finger it will change and be smooth. Don´t press the lips together! Otherwise you see every wrinkle on your lips, it will work only after dap with your fingers (but only very soft). I have to force myself to not press my lips together (we always do the things we shouldn´t do like touch the face, which is bad for the cleanness of the skin) The consistency is like face cream in a stick form.
The smell of the lipsticks have a citrus note, at first very awkward but you will get used to it. (It´s remembers me of a citrus dish liquid XDDD) I wouldn´t buy it again. To much dirty work, my fingers look very messy afterwards. Last for 2 hours.

applied peach bellini

you can see all the stripes it left behind

pressed the lips together

 very flaky :(

II used my finger with all the following lipsticks

Peach Bellini

too much sparkles, beautiful bright orange colour, flaky, very difficult to wear, after work with the finger it gets lucent, hard to handle and after pressing the lips together it looks horrible.

Indian Pink

orange nude pink colour, gets lucent after spread it with the finger

Circe

Nude (beige) colour, my lipstick broke! too smooth and creamy

Femme

the one and only lipstick which you can wear without using your fingers. orange red colour

I wouldn´t recomment the lipsticks :( far to hard to get a good result or to make it wearable, I have to take a mirror with me.

Lip gloss
I love this lip gloss :) it smells like the lipstick. The texture is very comfortable and you can combine it with every lipstick of your choice.The glitter particles are very small, they don´t overload the lips like other lip gloss I had. It has a load of white sparkles, looks really fresh and fruity on the lips, it doesn´t stick, very comfortable :)

peach

lucent peachy colour, sparkly, dries after 3 hours

Eyeshadow
I love the colours, they are smooth like butter, and they have a very high pigmentation, I don´t need a eyeprimer or a base to pop up the colours. I will definetely buy more ^^

Flamingo

rose colour with an hint of gold, colourful sparkles, very smooth, sometimes I only wear this eyeshadow on my eye - it´s enough and very beautiful, specifically on spring and summer <3

Marocco

lilac dark blue, love to wear it as an eyeliner :), very flaky and hard to put on my eyes without flakes on my cheeks.

Eyebrow Cake Powder
I really really recommend it!!! I own myself the Taupe/ Ash colour and it´s gorgeous for asians! I put make up on my friends and family and it matched really great with dark to brown hair <3 I don´t want to miss it again, I´m really happy with it and I´ll buy it defenitly again for me and my beloved family and friends, they all love it :)
You can work really great with an ankle brush for eyebrows. There are two brushes in it, a hard ankle brush and a brow and lash brush to soften out any edges (I don´t use them though, because the brushes are too hard for me). The wax is really great for long brows, it sticks the eyebrow on it´s place all day long :)
My all time favourite! Wear it in all my photos :)


Lipliner
I chose the nude pink lip liner, it dries the lip a little bit, but I like to wear it as a lip base, love to cover my outer dark lip. I couldn´t find  this beautiful colour anywhere, I´m going to buy more of this lipliners (of the same and other colours).
You can watch it on the picture below


Blush
I love my cinammon blush (and it convinced me to buy more of NYX blushes), it´s high pigmented but it isn´t blurry on my cheeks, you can blend it out really good. For a wonderful finish I would recommented to work with a fluffy brush, not a densed one. You have to find out your own technique to apply it on your cheeks.

I´m very happy with my products, except my peach pellini round lipstick (I can handle the other ones), hope you enjoyed my review :)

Lovely greetings
Nony





  

Spicy hot ramen

Hello lovely readers :)

Today I´ll doing a recipe post of my favourite korean ramen :)
I do almost every 3rd day ramen, not the instant noodles but self-made keke :D I like it hot and spicy. If you read my older posts you´ll know that I like korean food :)
Homemade food is always cheaper and better than instant food :) but not everyone has time for it, I can understand it, but if you have, do it! It´s definitely worth it! I love the korean hot chillies, they are moderately hot, not like the thai or indian chillies haha - you´ll die or at least I always nearly die, when the soup has this colour O_O XD

The ingredients for 2 persons:

-- 300g/ 0,6 pounds noodles oriental style noodle (pasta)

-- 600 ml/ 2 1/2 cups broth I used chicken (should be hot!)

-- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (not olive oil)

-- pork meat - as much as you like, I used 50g -thinnly sliced  (you can use whatever meat you like, for the vegetarian -skip it)

meat marinade:

pinch of salt, pinch of pepper, 1 Tbsp oyster sauce

-- 1 clove of a garlic - chopped 

-- 5cm/ 2 inch of the white leek part or 1/2 of a small onion -sliced

-- 1 1/2 handfull of vegetables you can use whatever your hearts desire :) I would say 3 big chunks of the top of the broccoli, 2 big chunks of cauliflower, 1 small carrot, I used freezed vegetables

hot sauce:

-- 2 tbsp gochujang (korean chilli paste)

-- 1 tblsp sesame oil 

-- 1 tsp mirin (rice vinegar)

-- pinch salt

-- pinch pepper

-- 1 tsp sugar

-- 2 tbsp chilli flakes (without seeds, with seeds I would only use 1 tsp hot!hot!)

-- 1 tbsp roasted sesame seeds (I prefer the white ones) (ohhh no I forgot them :( ) 

Stir all the ingredients together

and at least for decoration and season to taste :

-- 2 tbsp green leeks 

-- 1/2 tomatoes per bowls (didn´t had any on hand)

-- a squeeze of a lemon juice

-- If you want 1 boiled egg (I forgot it, noo not again! I always forget the best of the soup!)

First cook the noodles for 6-8 min for me the best time (in the package they write 10 min in my opinion too long) after cooking rinse them under cold water, prepare them on your bowl

I recomment to don´t use a teflon pan, because we work on high heat, over time it would dent your bottom pan!  

Turn the stove on high heat put the oil in it (now we have to work really quick, we don´t want to burn our garlic). When your cooking spoon fizzles in the oil -> it´s time! Let your garlic fry for few sec., stir! stir! stir! Put your meat in it until it´s more than half cooked, now turn the heat down on medium heat throw the onions in, until they get glazed. Put the vegetables in for 5min -don´t forget to stir! :)

- without meat: stove on high heat, put oil in the pan until your cooking spoon fizzles, throw your vegetables in (because we want it in the foreground, if we would use garlic or onions first they would burn - the juice of the meat would prevents the garlic or onions from burning) until they get a little bit brown, stir! Turn on medium heat and add the onion and garlic to the vegetables, cook until the vegetables are cooked through, I would say 5 min.

Add the hot sauce, stir it for few minutes, you´ll know when, the flavours will develope an awesome aroma, it smells gorgeous! Put your hot broth (I really recommend the hot broth, because it's faster and the soup stays clear) in it, after it's boiling it's ready to serve! 

 Now the best part :) fill your bowl with the soup

Squeeze a little bit lemon juice, put tomatoes on the top and green leek for decoration. You can put half of a boiled egg on top  :) voilá a super delicious self-made ramen! In 15 min

Happy! Happy!

 Yuuuumiiii, it´s time to eat!

You´re going to be addicted :D like me^^, for the non-hot eater I would skip the dry chilli pepper. The hot chilli paste isn´t hot like really hot :D believe me it´s even less hot like the famous korean Nongshim instant noodles. While writing the blogpost it looks mouthwatering haha I should lay a bowl on my desk XD. Hope you enjoyed my blogpost :)
Please tell me your self-made ramen experiences and write a comment below if you tried it  ;D
I wish you good luck :) ..and enjoy your meal!

kisses

Korean Dinner

Hello everybody :)

hope you're all doing well :D 

Yesterday I ate "official" korean food^^ for the first time and how did I miss it all the time? I´m a big fan, I did often korean food in the past, for example self-made ramen, pancakes, rice cake..etc. but I could never  compare it with the original. I was really nervous to try it, I was afraid that it wouldn´t satisfy my expectations, but it was even better than I thought. I´m obsessed with korean food, it´s so delicious and a flavour explotion :D but really expensive :( 

I´ve never seen so many korean people in one place. They must love their own food :)

The owner of this restaurant is a really petite lady, and a japanese waitress who can fluently speak korean wasn´t sure of my origin they guessed I was a korean or a japanese girl. The owner explained that the korean people were more impulsive and the japanese people are more reserved, but I was both, more in the middle hihi they didn't expect a laotian woman. For me a very big compliment because I admire all the korean and of course japanese women :) they are so beautiful :) kekeke
I hope it didn't sound like I´m not proud to be a laotian girl or woman (ouuhh I´m so old) I´m very proud :D hehe

Now here my OOTD

I´ll make a make up tutorial for this look soon :)

On our table

Wonderful jewellry box

Isn´t it beautiful? I would buy it immediantly if they would sell it :) <3

 BULGOGI

Couldn´t wait to eat!

Green tea ice cream, it was delicious (with little sugar, I don´t like it too sweet)

Happy bunny!  

Rice cake filling, on the outside hazelnut and inside I guess red beans, it tasted like that haha no I´m sure, it was definately red beans :D

Next time I´ll eat a soup, can´t wait to try them :) Please tell me your favourite asian dish <3 and of course korean dish!
Hope you´ve ejoyed my blogpost lovely readers!
