☆Finally Easter & Birthday Party☆

♔

Happy Easter Lovelies! ♥

I hope all of you have a relaxing and chilly Easter! (^_^)

I personally don't have a certain feeling towards Easter, it's simply a holiday which you can enjoy. Nevertheless I was kinda happy that it finally arrived as you know I made this '40 days without'-thing and it ended officially today. I stopped earlier (on friday) as I didn't know the rules! A friend told me, that it is allowed to skip the sundays during fasten time! (O_ô) I didn't know this and I couldn't help myself, as I heard this I thought: 'Typical for all these church things - don't make it too hard'. And as I didn't skip the sundays, I finished two days earlier. Just fair I think. 

Well, what could I say as a result? Looking back at these few weeks I don't feel proud or anything so maybe I am the wrong person for a review but I lost 2kg! I don't think this is a a direct result of the fasten time, but of my daily exercising, a nice effect though. Nevertheless I do feel a lil bit better (even if I'm not proud ) now and I'll keep this 'less sweets' attitude for sure.
To be honest, even for me it wasn't 40 days because I ate chocolate at three occasions I think, due to unbelievable personal stress. It wasn't the right way as I didn't feel better after it but at this moment I wasn't strong enough to force myself to look for another solution. Maybe you know this kind of situations, don't you?
Just remembered that I really was happy that I could eat sweets again on saturday morning, 1. 30 o'clock as I could eat my self - made cupcakes and cookies! (^_^) At least one good thing.

And of course my little gets for Easter:

 The golden bunny and the packed ones are from my mom (♥) and waited for me as I arrived two days ago and the others are from a friend. cute isn't it? Thank youuuuu ♥

Onto the next point, Birthday Party.
Not mine of course, my birthday's only next week, but a friend from junior high celebrated her birthday on friday and I really enjoyed myself.
First of all the present. I made two because I gave the other one to another friend. The japanese sign means 'friend'.

In the end I wrapped everything up in plastics and tada~ here we go.

I was quite satisfied how nice it came out, but there's a nailpolish missing. I smashed the yellow one in our kitchen and had to clean the floor for hours.... Due to that I have to renew my nails today, too. Evil nail polish remover.

Party itself was pretty nice, too.

Once again my unbeatable drawing skills! They get even better with a lot alcohol. lol

Sparkling wine for the ladys, beer for the gentlemen ♥

 

And as the sparkling wine was out, we switched to these colorful wines! 

The others went for ... I don't know, 43 I think.

 Organge - choco chips cupcake ♥

The first sweet thing I ate.

 

I know I look really happy [not] but it took me hours to look like this as I have some skin problems recently and my outfit didn't turn out like I've wanted it. In addition I forgot to wear my overkness.... yey not my styling day at all. Because of that no complete outfit post, I'm sorry. Next time I promise :3

Okay, blogger and html are bitching me for over two hours now and I'm hungry (=_=) Gonna post this now no matter how it may look like... Wish you a great remaining free time, Sweethearts ♥

☆40 days without...☆

♔

Good Evening Lovelies ♥

I finally managed to update a few posts I've prepared recently (^_^) If everything will work like I've planned it, I can post some new stuff tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. As far as I'll have enough time, actually I should do some work for university... dnw (;^;)

But this time I want to talk about '40 days without'.
I don't know how widespread this tradition is in other countries or even in other parts of Germany, as it goes back to a religious custom. Due to that a lot people refuse to try it. That's a pity in my opinion as there are various reasons one should at least try it once in a lifetime.

With the end of Ash Wednesday (and my beloved carnival time....) it starts, and it ends at Good Friday. That are 40 days within you're not doing / eating / saying / whatever things you're maybe a bit too used to. I for one quit sweets untill Good Friday.

 

all these beautiful and delicious cookies are tabu (;^;)

But the last years I quit numerous things like meat ( as I was 13 - afterwards I went for being vegetarian lol), shopping, TV, etc. and I know a lot of people doing so, too. For me it's not about this religious aspect but to show myself that I am not as addicted as it may seems.
As I ate a lot of chocolate and stuff during my exams I thought it would be pretty hard but at the moment it's still... easy. lol

 

and no mochi for little Bambi

The people these days are too used to daily luxury in my opinion and for that reason I think it's important to ... learn to cherish daily things again. 

I for one will be totally happy when I can eat my own cakes again. (^o^)

Do you quit some of your little sins for 40 days?
