Bathroom decoration: the 3 seashells
While surfing the internet, I came across a great idea for bathroom decoration! *insert giggle* For those who don’t know what this is about, there was this movie, Demolition Man (1993), where a 20th Century Sylvester Stallone wakes up in a high-tech future. Everything is nice and sleek, cars drive themselves, people are very advanced and you get a ticket if you swear. Stallone needs to use the toilet and when he needs to wipe his ass he sees no toilet paper, but only 3 seashells. When he gets out of the bathroom, he asks the future-people: “How do you use the 3 seashells?”. His interlocutors star laughing, considering that he…

REVIEW: Petrus Aged Red Belgian Beer
I got this Petrus Aged Red Belgian Beer because I was trying new beers and I thought this one sounds funny… “Aged Red”. It is kind of expensive (around 3EURS) and I expected a good quality beer. It was indeed of good quality. It had a nice smooth foam and the perfect consistency. I also liked the fact that it isn’t extremely sweet. What I absolutely liked about it was the color: really red. Red as the blood of your enemies. The only thing that bothered me about it was that it is a VERY strong beer… it has 8.5% alcohol concentration… too much for me. Some people said that it has…

Good book about the history of modern art – How to get a comprehensive idea about it
I’m not even starting about what modern art is. Probably most of you think about crazy stuff that doesn’t resemble the naturalistic depictions of Renaissance. Some say modern art started with Renaissance. Same say it started with impressionists. Some say it is the avant-garde. Some say avant-garde is dada. Some say avant-garde is transgressive art. And then there is a whole other discussion about when did it end… I personally like to think modern art as a continuous flux of change. But the modern art we have in mind when we say “modern art”, that unconvential crazy stuff like van Gogh, Picasso, Munch, Duchamp and so on, I like to think…

What happened to Martina Hill and Knallerfrauen?
One of my favorite TV entertainers is Martina Hill. She got really famous for Knallerfrauen – some very good comedy sketches, really underrated. She and her crew from Knallerfrauen certainly deserve more recognition. Is Knallerfrauen canceled? I don’t know what it has been happening with that show. It isn’t officially over, but the next season kind of got postponed and the last episode was released in 2015 :/. Since then, we’ve all been expecting to watch season 5 of Knallerfrauen, but we haven’t had any luck. Why isn’t there a season 5? What I don’t understand is why did they stop something so good and famous?! This is beyond my…

REVIEW: Macarons de Pauline Assorted Box (Strawberry, Chocolate & Pistachio)
Hi guys! Ever since there is this hype about macarons, I’ve tried some here and there but, except one time, I never really liked them. I don’t understand this craze about macarons, they are just sweet, puffy, fruit flavored biscuits… I know, I know, they should be good when of good quality, but they are not (in my opinion). They look good though… very photogenic little cookies. This time I’ve bought one box of Macarons de Pauline Assorted with the following flavors: Strawberry, Chocolate and Pistachio. They are made in Belgium. They are pretty expensive considering there are only 3 macarons (around 3 euros). Unfortunately, I didn’t take very good…

Ville Valo: An interesting cover of “Knowing me, knowing you” of ABBA
Hey! Do you remember Ville Valo, a metrosexual dude singing in a soft rock band at the turn of the Century? All girls were crazy about him. Well, now he is 41 y.o. and still singing. In 2016 he released an interesting cover of Abba’s song “Knowing me, knowing you”. Check this out, it sounds pretty good. Ville Valo did some pretty nice covers when he was in HIM: Wicked Game (original song by Chris Isaak) Rebel Yell (original song by Billy Idol)

MOVIE REVIEW: Mean Girls (2004) – One of the best
1. General thoughts about Mean Girls movie Mean Girls was preceded by some similar glamorous-mean movies as Heathers (1988), Cruel Intentions (1999) and Jawbreaker (1999) (tip for those looking for some Mean Girls similar movies). All of these movies are first class cinema creations, each one having its own personal flavor, its uniqueness, but none of them is as eloquent for the 90s – early 2000 generation as Mean Girls. For those girls born around the year 1990, Mean Girls is probably the best chick flick/ teenage movie / high school / mean girls movie ever. It also became a classic. If you have a passion for movies, then Mean…

REVIEW: Some teas from Twinings
A friend brought me from England a couple of different Twinings tea bags. I was so excited to have so many tea flavors. All of them are fruit and herbal teas (infusions) with no caffeine. I tried them all and here is what I think about them: 1. CAMOMILE, HONEY & VANILLA Twinings Tea This one I loved! A perfectly balanced taste. It feels very natural. It is velvety. A little bit sweet. It makes my tummy feel good. The smell is very pleasant, but not too powerful. I must admit that it was strangely sweet… I hope it doesn’t contain artificial sweetener. I liked it very much, I found it calming. This tea…

Non-alcoholic punch problem in american high school (or college) movies
Punch is a cocktail drink originating from India and it is served in a large bowl. It is popular in many European countries, but I think it got world wide famous through american high school / college movies where kids drink punch at parties. In Germany we have a similar drink, a little bit more interesting I’d say. It is called Feuerzangenbowle and it is served in flames. Punch usually contains ingredients such as: alcohol, fruit juice and, optionally, tea and spices. In american movies, especially high school movies, there is this recurring scene with some kid pours alcohol in the non-alcoholic punch that is being served at the party. The…

REVIEW: Yves Rocher Face Cream – Day ELIXIR JEUNESSE
I received a sample of this cream on my first purchase from Yves Rocher. On their website it has the following description: Yves Rocher Face Cream – Day, REPAIRS SKIN AND PROTECTS AGAINST POLLUTION, Repair + Anti-pollution, ELIXIR JEUNESSE I am not a big fan of face creams and I will probably not buy it again, but I did use it on my face and all I can say is that: The hydrating action is moderate and the skin might feel a little bit greasy afterwards. The skin absorbs it in a moderate amount of time. It is a cream, kind of thick. Definitely not a gel, a serum or…
