My New Year's Resolutions

Hello everybody,

So the new year is getting closer and closer and I thought that this was the right time to share some of my resolutions. I think that it is always a good thing to set some goals for yourself and there is no better time than a new year! Yes, I am one of those people who has the endless list and who never achieves the things and just makes the same every year and I joke about not doing them etc. I get all of you, but I'm saying this not only for myself,but also for you: Let's really do it this year. For real, let's do this! Let's make 2015 count! 

I decided to make a little list and (even more important) post it on here, where not only I, but you too, can look with me and hopefully I can do them all. This is my list:

Get fit:

This is something I put on my list every single year and I fail every year. I try every year and to be honest: I can do this and it makes me happier... So I don't really get how it fails every time! I've seen changes before and it always made me really happy. I am someone who struggles a lot with her body-image (and I always have ever since I can remember) so this would be a huge step for me and I bet it would make me way more confident and I'd feel healthy. I feel like it's going to give me a lot so this is certainly something that I need to do. Running isn't THAT bad after all. I really want this.

This has always been the most motivating to me.

Listen to more music:

If you know me well, you'll know that I listen a lot to music and I enjoy it so much! But this is something more than just listening to music. I want to discover more music. I want to discover more artists, more genres, etc. Music is (to me) the most beautiful form of art. I should be rewarding that and appreciate it more.

Hayley Williams is the lead-singer of Paramore.
She's an angel, I love her. 

Eat more fruit:

Wow. Such healthy. Much original. I certainly am not giving any fucks at this point. Yes, eating more fruit is on my list. Because I love fruit. Okay? I love fruit A LOT. I love the taste of it, I love how it looks, I love to combine it etc. I LOVE FRUIT. Then why is this on my list? Because apples aren't the only thing I like to eat as fruit. *wink wink* (to my parents) If we would get some other fruits besides red apples (as I love green ones more) then you'd do me a huge favor and you'd help my resolution very well. I'm thanking you. Fruit.

NOTE: I don't eat bananas.

Save more money:

This was also on my list last year and guess what? I DID IT. I DID IT. I REALLY DID IT. I saved like so much money and saving money is actually a lot easier than I expected. So this is one we're putting on this list again and it is very important. I'm saving for personal things and maybe I'll make a blogpost about it one day.

I started captioning all my pictures and I felt awkward to leave one because this pic deserves a caption too, right?
Captioning means no gets left behind.

Be able to play guitar:

I got a guitar and the only thing I need is a few classes. You don't understand how much this could help my career later. THIS IS SO IMPORTANT. All I need is some money and people who want to drive me to the place once in a week or even two weeks. THAT'S FUCKING IT. Did I mention that we have a guitar that hasn't been used in years? Did I mention that playing guitar would be very important to me? I hear you thinking: "You're a teen, go to your parents and just ask them." I've done that already. I have gotten the same reply as always (that I like to call): the ignorant parent.
Just keep ignoring the question until I stop asking it. Wow, "family" is so nice.

Oh I take every single oppurtunity to use a picture of La Leto (aka Jared Leto)
(but if we're being honest here: La Leto sounds cool)

Sing more:

I don't sing enough if you'd ask me. I love singing so much and I'm great at it and I could talk for hours about it (but I'm going to shut up right now). If you sing a lot you probably know that your voice improves the more you train it (maybe some people also know this without singing regularly, because it sounds quite obvious) I think that the reason I don't sing that much is because I prefer to sing when it's dark outside (though I always sing in my room) and before I've eaten (so I can jump around a lot) I should try singing even when I have eaten. I needed a sentence to bold in this one so here it is! 

This is Demi Lovato with her pink hair (which I loved the most)
I chose her because she has an amazing voice.

Dance more:

So I used to dance in a group and it was really fun but there were financial problems so they had to stop. I miss it a lot and I don't dance as often as I used to. Dancing is an amazing thing and I really love that hobby a lot. I once read that you should have three hobbies: one to make you money, one to keep you in shape and one to be creative. I must admit that I haven't found them all yet, but I have a lot time to do that!

I chose this gif because let's face it: Selena Gomez is an amazing dancer.

Ride more with my bike:

This is literally one of my favorite things to do! Alone or with friends: I love it! No matter where, if the sun is shining, then I'm up for it! It is just so relaxing and it just makes me happy. I don't come outside that often as I should, so this is a great way to do that! I also tend to do it when I'm bored or when I decide to visit a friend!

Isn't this like a gif from that one music video of that one band?

Hang out more with my friends:

I'm young and I should do this more often. Every time one of my friends asked me to hang out I had to say 'no' for some reason and it really pisses me off. You learn a lot around people and my friends are very creative, so inspiration and fun are the only things I'd be getting! Great things, right? (NOTE: Did this sound sarcastic, because it wasn't meant to be sarcastic, just so you know!)

Okay, this is just a random photo I have on my computer, but like I don't hang out
with people so I didn't have a nice picture so I decided to look up "hanging out"
on Tumblr (pls don't do that: it's full of dicks and boobs) So then I was like looking
for a good picture and I chose this one because potatoes are just neat.

Drink more water:

Not that I drink a lot soft drinks or alcoholic drinks or something: I just don't drink a lot in general (which is obviously not the best thing in the world) so that's a goal I really need to set for myself. Drink more water kids, it's very important! I prefer water a lot of times, I think water is just neat.

From all the bottles of water I've seen in my life, I chose this one.
It's the chosen one.

I'll let y'all know if they became a reality. If you like to you can tell me some of your resolutions.
Have a great new year and a great 2015 in general!

Much love,
Xo

My top 10 most-played songs (on iTunes)

Hello everyone,

hope you're having an amazing time! I thought that it'd be cool if I showed you guys my top 10 most-played songs, as I love each and everyone of them A LOT. 

(NOTE: 8/10 songs are performed by the same artist, so if you don't like Thirty Seconds To Mars, then you won't like this list either)

10. The Kill - Thirty Seconds To Mars

This song is beyond amazing. The song to me is about having a fight with yourself and looking for who you really are and I can relate so well. Funfact: this was the band's break-through song.

The video is a love-letter to the movie The Shining, which is an amazing movie.

9. Convergence - Thirty Seconds To Mars

When I listen to this song, I feel so relaxed in a creative way. I feel like all my dreams are coming true and I just feel so good. I also love xylophones so this is honestly an amazing song. But you need to understand the art of music to like this one.

8. Thirty Seconds To Mars - Up In The Air

If there's one thing better than this entire song, it has to be the music video. The video is a work of art itself and the song is actually the first I've heard from the band. I love this song so much. Powerful lyrics and so many sounds, it is too much of the good things.

7. Thirty Seconds To Mars - Conquistador

So this song is one I really love and this song gives me such an indescribable feeling and I just... Please play this song at any time. SO GOOD. Its like a battle cry and I am so ready to fight!

6. Thirty Seconds To Mars - Night Of The Hunter

I wish I could share with you how much this song meant to me but I'm just not ready to do that. Next to my favorite song in the world, this is the greatest song in existence. It has such a personal meaning to me and if you also know a song that means a lot to you, then you'll understand. 

5. Fall Out Boy - Centuries

So this the first new song we've gotten from Fall Out Boy after 'Save Rock And Roll' and honestly, when I heard this for the first time, I listened to it another 99 times and I was jamming so hard! I LOVE this song.

4. All Time Low - Return The Favor

When I first heard this song, I fell so love with it. The entire song is beautiful and sadly enough, never performed live. It's such a good song I just can't explain. The song is built up so damn well. This is some shit that should've been jammed around all day because it's so good. You never grow tired of it.

3. Thirty Seconds To Mars - City Of Angels

Wow hey, top 3 (and all of them are Thirty Seconds To Mars songs) ! Starting off with the song that made me fall in love with them... City Of Angels, a song about Los Angeles. You know, I've always felt connected to LA in some way and this song is amazing honestly. I love to sing this one too and the acoustic version is even more magical, I always smile when it comes up. Then there's also the piano version, which is the most fun to sing actually. But this song, it has such a personal meaning not only to the band, but also to me. I belong in that city.

2. Thirty Seconds To Mars - Closer To The Edge

Closer To The Edge. This song is LIFE. This is the older brother of the song on #1. This song makes me wanna fist pump until I hit the moon and jump and touch the sky. "One day" will always be words close to my heart and to hear these in this song along with some inspirational lyrics about living life, I can't. Filmed during the record-breaking tour, it sure has a lot stories in them.

1. Thirty Seconds To Mars - Do Or Die

This is the most important song in my life. So here the thing: I was lost in a very, very dark place. I was depressed and had lost the willing to live life. I didn't care if I would die, because it all didn't matter. I didn't matter. Life was pretty much pointless at the time and I thought that I would never feel happy again so I lost the point of it all. Struggling with myself didn't make things better. And this was it. This song gave me a life. A rebirth. So don't fucking tell me that it is a stupid song because I might have been dead or just fucking feeling like a piece of shit but I am here and prouder than ever because of this song. This song gave me back what I had lost in the dark and didn't seem to find. Dreams. I am living because of this song and that is why I listen to it so much. I love this song more than anything and it is by far my favorite from the band. The lyrics itself have given me so much power and I realized what life was about and what needed to happen. Dreams can come true and everything, from the lyrics to the music to the video to the live performances, it reminds me of what I'm here for. 

I hope you liked this (AKA I hope you like Thirty Seconds To Mars because I love their music).

I will see you guys very, very soon. 

Much love,

Xo

Find your style

Hello everyone,
so as you may or may not know, I think style is such a cool thing because you can dress up just like you wish, amazing huh? You can express how you feel, what you like, etc. just by wearing a certain outfit a certain way! "But I don't have a style", I hear you think. Wrong. Just because our society is build up by labeling certain styles doesn't mean that you don't have one!

Your style isn't necessarily the way you dress. The first step to find your style is to realize this. Your style is the clothes you would like to wear. Like I for example, am not allowed by my parents to wear certain things. So I am not wearing my style, but someone else's style, though I have my own. Don't get me wrong, I sometimes do wear what I like to call my style, and even with the limits that I have I try to live up to my style.

So how do you find your style? Wouldn't it be nice if I had some tips? Hell yes it'd be. So here are a few ones:

• Look around in different stores. If you really want to find your style you will need to break through that comfort zone and try new things! Not sure if you should buy that shirt?: buy it and see how it goes! Don't stick to the same thing, take risks.

• Don't be afraid of judgement. Something that I've learned is that you can't live your style if you live with a fear of judgement. You can pull of your style! So show it proudly! Wearing an outfit that makes you a little bit insecure? Blast a really nice song that makes you feel like badass and like a queen. Smile big and walk confident!

• Make an inspiration board. I do this one on Pinterest and it helps me a lot! Like a certain outfit, add it to your board,... You can also make a Tumblr for it or We Heart It. Look for inspiration for outfits.

• Be an individual. Don't wear something that you don't like just to fit in. Liking an outfit doesn't equal liking people to like me for my outfit. If you happen to like something that everyone likes, then just wear it! 

I hope you guys liked this post and might have gotten something out of it. Remember that the only style you can have is your style. Live your syle, style your life, love your style. ♥

Much love,

Xo
