Motivation?! Hmmm...

Where my motivation has gone? Oh, it just walked by, haven't you seen it?!...

That's exactly what I think sometimes, when there are days when I can't do anything, I just can't. I feel somehow tired and have no motivation to do anything and want to lay down and do nothing else than let the day pass by... If that's one day, or maybe two, that's okay, everybody has that sometimes. But when this goes on for a few days or maybe weeks, it's becoming a real problem.

Sometimes it's hard to pick oneself up and especially when you have no one around you who motivates you and helps you to get up and do something it's even harder. To motivate yourself is never easy...

One of the problems that I have is absolutely classical; sports. I try to motivate myself for doing sports regularly for nearly 3 years now and let me tell you one thing; this is one of the most difficult challenges in my entire life...
I don't have so much problems with healthy food, it was no problem for me to stop eating "fast food" and sweets and also I only eat vegetarian food for a few weeks now and I'm so happy with it. 
The only thing that's still needed is more exercising...

Of course there are some more things that I want to do or should do, but the motivation's just not big enough on some days. Everyone knows this feeling.
There are days when I really am enthusiastic and passionate about it, but then there are these days again, when I just have the feeling that I can't move at all...
When I come to a point like this again, I always try to think of the goals I have set for myself and of everything I want to achieve and also of some things that I am afraid of and that I want to avoid as good as possible - and I have to say; it works most of the time! It makes me get up and do what is needed to get a little bit closer to what I want to achieve, whether this is exercising, or practising breath control for singing or to work on boring papers about the financial things or the job...

So, I think this shows once again how important it is, to have goals and to have dreams or other things that you want to realize and achieve. This is what keeps us going most of the time, if we always keep them in mind.

Well, I will go now and do some exercising, I think...


Yours,

Today is the birthday of a very special person; my best friend.

Today's her 18th birthday and I so I just wanted to dedicate her a special post in this blog...

I know, that you read this, so I just want to say a few words...
Thank you for everything you've done for me, for being always there and for taking me as I am. We know each other for 12 years now, that's nearly our whole life so far, and even if there were times when our friendship had to deal with a lot of problems or a big distance, it always lasted and we never lost the special connection we had right from the beginning.

So, this is your special day and I wish you all the best!
I know you're strong and even if there are hard times and some decisions to make in the upcoming months, I'm sure you will make it. You will find the way that's exactly the right for you!

Never forget that you have so many friends that love you just the way you are!

And never, never forget that I am also always there for YOU!

Enjoy your day, have fun and don't forget to party ;=)


Love & Hugs,

First "beauty-tip" ;=)

So, I told you in my first post, that I have a passion for make-up.
That's why I will post different make-up styles, beauty-tips and of course reviews of different products.

The product you can see in the picture is so good, I can really recommend it to you!
I have a "complicated" skin... Some years ago I had issues with spots and very oily skin, now I have oily skin and sometimes spots in my "t-zone" (for those, who don't know; t-zone means forehead, nose and chin), but dry skin everywhere else...

A few weeks ago I tried out the "pure skin anti-spot moisturizer" by essence and it's done WONDERS to my skin, seriously! The skin is moisturized without becoming oily and spots or rednesses are really reduced very quickly. And the best thing is; you can also use it as a make-up base and that works fantastic! It makes your foundation, concealer, powder and blush last longer, it's really great.
So, my tip is to use it two times every day; in the morning as make-up base and in the evening, after removing make-up, as skin care over night.
After a few days, your skin will be purer and softer.

It's very good for people with sensitive skin and if I say that, you can believe me, because my skin is very sensitive and I get allergic reactions very easy, but had absolutely NO problem with this products!

Try it out...


Yours,

Summer, Dreams, Changes

These three words somehow belong together in my mind...

Although I'm more into the cold seasons, fall and winter, summer is always a time that inspires me to change some things that I wanted to change for a long time, but never did. Sometimes I just hadn't the strengh to, sometimes I was afraid of changing something in my life.

Giving up something that you are used to is always a very hard thing to do and that's why most of us ignore most of the chances we get, especially when the decisions we COULD make, would change our whole life...
In the past few months I personally went through a lot of hard times and someday, there was a point, when I realized, that I HAD to do something, so I pulled myself together and just did what my heart told me and what in my opinion was the best for me.

Sometimes we just have to think about ourselves and nothing else. Of course we can't always do that, because that would be egoistic, but there are times when we need to concentrate on our lives and to focus on what is good for us or what helps us go further in our lives.

The earlier you think about what is the right way to go, the better. Don't wait until you are completely down, don't wait until your insecurities pull you to the ground... Do something before this happens! Even if it's really hard sometimes...

When you get to a point, where you completely lost your mind and nothing seems to make sense, where you are just confused about everything and there seems no reason to go on, think of everything that means something to you. When you get to that point, think of the persons you love, of something that you have reached due to a lot of hard work, think of the dreams you have... And then stand up and go on! To think of the dreams you have or of the goals you want to reach can really help you to get up again and fight.

Unfortunately there are not many people, who really fight for their dreams. Most of the people in this world today just accept everything that happens and let their lives pass by. Instead of letting your life pass by you should take everything in your own hands and always keep in mind that you have to do something, to be happy. Luck and happiness don't come easy and you always have to do something to be happy. Never forget that and keep your dreams alive.

If you always set yourself little goals that you reach step by step, you are able to realize whatever you want. Always remember that, when you're down again, no matter how bad you feel... You are able to go on.

During the cold seasons it's always harder to pick oneself up, in spring and summer it is much easier.

Summer's just knocking on the door, so think about your life, your dreams and about changes you maybe need to feel better and more comfortable with everything in your life.

Yours,

BeautifulNightmare

Welcome to my world...

Hello everyone and welcome to my new blog...

So, where do I start...?!

I'm just a creative girl who wants to share ideas, creative works and thoughts with the world.

I started writing my own stories, poems and songs very early and also I started drawing and photographing very long ago. And, of course, I'm also doing different make-up styles for some time now.

I will use this blog as an opportunity to share my thoughts about the world, my point of view when it comes to imporant things in life and also to make recommendments to you, sometimes music, sometimes books, sometimes aritsts I discovered and like very much. And last but not least, I will share some of my own artworks with you...

I just combine all my passions and turn them into little „masterpieces“ ;=)

It also may be important for you to know that I'm very much into the Gothic- and Metal-scene. So some of the things I will post here are dark and melancholic, 'cause that's a very big part of me, my personality, my life and the creative things I do.

Well, now you know the most important things, there is not so much more to tell, you will get to know a bit more with every post I do... and I hope you enjoy the little ride we take with this blog, into a
