❤52❤ Die Umsteiger - Vegan Blog (German - sorry!!)

Hallo~





Heute möchte ich euch einen Blog vorstellen, den ich durch Zufall gefunden habe und unglaublich toll finde!

"Die Umsteiger"




Die Umsteiger sind ständig auf der Suche nach neuen veganen Alternativen zu Fleischprodukten. Es gibt Rezepte, Produkttests und für vieles Kochanleitungen auf Youtube


Ich bekomme oft zu hören "Wenn du Fleisch so eklig findest, dann versteh ich nicht, warum du Fleischersatz isst!"
Tja.. was soll ich sagen? Die Aussage ist einfach falsch.
Wie wahrscheinlich 99,9% aller Vegetarier und Veganer kam ich so ja nicht auf die Welt.
Ich hab Schnitzel und Bacon geliebt und meine Mama hat die besten Frikadellen und Rouladen der Welt gemacht : )

Ich hab Schwein, Rind und Hähnchen gegessen, auch wenn ich bei allem andern schon immer eher das Tier, als das Produkt im Kopf hatte.
Einmal im Urlaub zum Beispiel hatten wir Halbpension und es gab Putenschnitzel - Ich bin mit meinen 12 Jahren heulend aufs Klo gerannt, als ich beim Nachfragen rausgefunden hab, was ich das gegessen hab.

Na ja.. back to topic.

Wie gesagt - Ich hatte nie etwas gegen den Geschmack von Fleisch und wahrscheinlich hätte ich das auch heute nicht, ABER wenn ich heute Fleisch sehe, sehe ich das eben nicht mehr ein leckeres Schnitzel vor mir, sondern den Teil einer Tierleiche.

Das bedeutet ja aber nicht, dass ich mir manchmal denke "Hach ich hätt Lust auf Rührei und Bacon" - geschmacklich eben!

Die Umsteiger bieten da viele tolle Alternativen!

Man glaubt erst nicht, dass es wirklich funktioniert, so simpel sind manche Rezepte, aber ich war jedes mal baff!


Mein Favorit bis heute:

  Veganes Rührei!

Ich habe vor als nächstes das vegane Mettbrötchen auszuprobieren!

❤51❤ Step One: New Documents

As some of you might now, I plan to start my Work and Holiday in Japan this autumn/winter.

Currently I'm still super busy with preparations for my thesis (and my tutor is freaking me out), but there are things I don't want to procrastinate for too long!

One of those things are my documents.

Although my ID and travel papers are still valid, they'd expire during my stay in Japan.
Therefore I need both to be renewed.

That also means that I need new pictures for my passports (' A'

Therefore I'm going to have them taken today! : )

Further I hope that I'll receive my money already today so I can go to the city hall and order my new passport!

I knew that they aren't for free, but.. when I read -how- expensive an ID card and especially a passport is I was kinda shocked!

An ID card will cost you around 30€ which is kind of what I expected, but the passport comes at 60€!

So both documents will cost me around 90€ already!

Let's hope that at least the pictures won't look too silly! ; )

❤49❤ Lockshop Wig Review

Hello~

Last week I ordered a wig at Lockshop!

The new Mermaid Faerie wig.

http://lockshopwigs.com/84-mermaid-faerie.html

It took about a week until it made it's way from the Netherlands to Germany.

I received a tracking number and shipping was about the price I payed.

(6,90€ shipping + 1,50€ packaging.. I payed 10€ for shipping so.. That's okay I think.)

The wig was placed in a plastic wrap and a thin net. Unfortunately the net had a hole that made it impossible to put the wig back in there.

The wig feels really soft and only has natural shimmer that makes it look like real hair.

It's a blend of really light blond (right) and a bit darker blond (left).

The difference is small enough to not make it look strange!

It was easy to comb through and has beautiful waves <3 

The fringe is long enough to cut it into any shape you like, but it definitely needs to be cut before it can be worn.

Also, when putting all hair in the front over your showers the net can't be seen : )

There are just two little points that I don't like:

A) The roots are really flat. A little more volume would make them look way more natural! Also backcombing didn't really work ><

B) the wig is styled with center parting. That makes it impossible to style it in hime-style and you're limited to just a few possibilities to wear it.

Other than that I'm in love!

It was the first time I ordered from Lockshop and I'd do it defiantly again! : )

This is how it looks worn : )

♥048♥ Düsseldorf~

~Hello~

Oh and Happy New Year!!


Recently I moved to a new flat!
Finally away from my old room mate.
(My friends already know what major trouble I had with her)


My room now is small, 
BUT
I have my own kitchen
and my own bathrom


Furthermore this way I can already get used to
the space I'll probably have 
in Japan from autumn now.


Work is okay as well!
I have nice colleguages and
was responsible for a charity project
we run on eBay!

Until today we already collected about 2000€
And we are awaiting a bit more from the auctions
running out today on ebay!!


However...
I felt really strange this week.
Grumpy Cat mode or something like that haha

I always try to not show it but..
This week it couldn't be helped I guess.

On Friday I tried a new way to do my nails.
I saw it in the App Girl's Pic from Ameba and the turoial really worked!



Yesterday I met with Elena and Lucy

We went to eat Ramen, took Purikura and went to Karaoke!

It was their first time there, and I hope they had fun!
Although I only met them for the 2nd time I really enjoyed meeting them!



Real Vegetarian Ramen at My Noodlehouse !


Maccha Coffee Latte at Relax!

Oh and next month I'll probably get my studyfinancing!
I'm waiting for my money since 7 month then!
I wonder how they think students are able to survive..

I mean..
They are going to pay all the money I should have gotten from September on
at once, which will at least save my trip to Japan in autumn..,
but I'd have preferred getting my money monthly
to... pay my rent, food, insurance, etc.
(^   ^);

Well~
At least I don't have to wait that long anymore!!


Next month it's also
Maifo's concert!
Already looking forward to it, although I don't really like
Ricky's voice.
I just hope he'll convince me at that live

Here is one of the Purikuras we took!

♥046♥ Einfach Vegan // Easy Vegan

This movie is in German.
Maybe there's a version with subtitles somewhere ^ ^;


It's a movie about Veganism and how meat, eggs and milk are produced in Germany.
We are a country with one of the strictest laws about the "well-being" of animals.

Therefore,
if you're not from Germany, it's probably even worse
(although it's hard to believe that there's something like "worse")

I don't want all people to stop eating meat, since it's a more than personal decision..
I'm not 100% Vegan yet myself, but on a good way!  : )


BUT

I would love to see that everybody at least get their facts straight and
THINK about what they are eating, how it was produced and most importantly..

How this animal had to live and die.

It's easy to believe the pictures on your milk-bottle..
Or the happy world they show in all the TV-Ads..


But reality is something different.


Knowledge brings responsibility.

♥045♥ Halloween, Birthday & Karaoke

～　　Ｈｅｌｌｏ　～

So it's almost 2 weeks again since my last post!

Sorry~

Well what happened?

Right! 

Halloween!

First I really wanted to visit Tokyo Decadance

in Paris.

However that turned out to be way to expensive.

Then I thought about going to cinema 

and watching a horror movie

but.. well..

Didn't felt like it.

In the end I dressed up a bit for work.

At night I baked Halloween Cupcakes and watched some episode of The Walking Dead!

:D

They were supposed to taste like Bubblegum..

and the icing did!
The base was soft choclate and 

together icing and muffin taste reeeally good!

A day later I found something else at DM:

It's vegan soy-spread that's supposed to taste

like some kind of German sausage..

I can tell you it tastes even better!
( *v*)

Then it was one day before my birthday.

I actually never celebrate, 

but all of my colleagues brought cake

when it was their birthday..

Since there's also one guy being Vegan at

our office, I baked vegan muffins <3

Apple-Cinnamon

 with Vanilla and Choco-Soy Milk

Instead of eggs just add apple sauce

1 egg = 1 spoon of apple sauce

You won't notice any difference instead

of the dough being more juicy <3

So I baked about 50 of these and they were

all gone after work :D
They all said that they were tasty and some

are planning on trying that trick with apple sauce haha.

I hope they really liked them ( *> <);

The next day was my birthday.
Since the bus was late as hell again
I had time to get some coffee at Starbucks <3

Grande Coffee Latte with Soy Milk

And they got those nice Christmas Cups again!

Since none of my colleagues knew about my birthday

They of course weren't able to prepare anything.
However, since I don't like to be

in the center of attention for things that

don't need any work..
(I mean.. actually my mom should get presents 

for the pain I caused xD )
I was surprised when I got small pralinees <3

After work I spent a part of my birthday money

to get my nails done again :D
( It was time for that!!)
This time I chose for glitter <3
It's glitter Arcryl and not just nail polish

which was a bit of a surprise, since the last time

I just had nailpolish on top.

I entered the shop pretty late so the nails the girl did last

 needed some shaping afterwards, 

but overall they did it nicely

xD

After that I went to Relax

(again haha )

and met with Isao and Doro.
Unfortunately Kou and Yomi only have time to

visit me here in about 2 weeks time.

I haaad~
Cream Soda! :D

And when Doro came and Isao noticed that it

was my Birthday

(which I didn't told him)
He bought me a piece of strawberry cake

with candles on it!!

( *v*)

That was the first time a friend bought

cake for me!
(Although my moms' cake is the best of course xD)

Lastly I head Maccha Milk :D

Lots of people said "Happy Birthday"

on Facebook as well

and Doro bought me a pillow.

That was my birthday xD
Nothing too special, but special enough for me!!

Two days later, on Friday,
I went to Relax again after work, 

since Isao, Doro, Kago and me had an appointment

for Karaoke!

I sat there and was reading the newest issue of 

Pop Teen

when the waiter noticed that he had forgot about my order

When he brought my Oolong Tea, 

he also brought me some cake for free!
( ;v;)
That was so nice!
And the cake was delicouse!
Some kind of crispy Bienenstich.

(Is that acutally called... bee sting cake? xDD)

Then we went to Karaoke for 2h

which was lots of fun!
It was the first time for Kago in japanese Karaoke

and I guess she had a nice time!

Afterwards we went to Relax again and had something to trink.
Isao was totally drunken and..

well..

that was just funny, since he was the only one

 xD

He gets drunken way to fast..

And at last I'm presenting you another picture

of these two cutiepies <3
