The funny meaning behind Rammstein’s Feuer und Wasser lyrics
“Feuer und Wasser” is the 10th song from the album “Rosenrot” by German band Rammstein, released in 2005. If you listen this song but you don’t speak German, you will hear a deep and profound song, as if it is was about the meaning of life or something like this. Maybe you already know that “Feuer und Wasser” means “Fire and Water” and you might think that the song speaks about them metaphorically, where they are some kind of yin-yang. Anyhow, here is the song (the only normal version I found on Youtube – unfortunately it doesn’t have an official video): The funny thing is that the song is about a…

REVIEW: The Body Shop COCONUT and SHEA shower creams
I was very excited to receive as a gift these 2 cute little shower creams: The Body Shop Coconut Shower Cream and The Body Shop Shea Shower Cream. I tried each one of them once and I decided to write a review. My general opinion was that they are good products, more hydrating than regular shower gels, but a little bit too pricey for what they have to offer. I will write below my impressions about each one of these shower creams. The Body Shop -Shea Bath & Shower Cream The scent is a little bit masculine. It is very beautiful. I couldn’t say it is my all time favorite scent,…

The first sip of coffee in the morning is heaven
Hi guys! Since coffee makes my mornings so awesome, every day, I thought I should share with you this feeling. So lets star with the beginning. I wake up… Usually, after I wake up, the first thing that I drink is coffee. Real, simple, dark black coffee. And the moment this beverage touches my tongue, there is this immediate feeling of heaven. If the coffee is good quality and if the brewing was done correctly, the final taste should be, as I said, heaven! I use a french press to brew my simple coffee and nothing more. I don’t add sugar, nor milk or chocolate. The most important part in…

REVIEW: Bundaberg non-alcoholic ginger beer
A friend brought me a Bundaberg non-alcoholic ginger beer cute little bottle with a funny kangaroo on it. I usually drink Clausthaler unfiltered non-alcoholic beer. I didn’t know about Bundaberg beer, but since I like alcohol free beers, I was eager to try this one too. It is an australian beer and I love its kangaroo logo. I was afraid it would be too spicy, but in fact it has a very subtle ginger taste. It tastes a little bit like a lemonade. It should be very refreshing in summer. Although I like its subtle, fresh taste, it was a little bit too sweet for me, but all in all I liked…

Community Fridge – Food sharing & a really great idea!
I got very excited to find out about a great food sharing project that takes place right now in Glasgow, initiated by Strath Foodsharing Group (see here their Facebook Page). There is a community fridge, placed inside a building, where anyone can fill it up with food and anyone can take food. The people behind this get help also from local stores and other non-profit organisations (Community Arts Centre The Space, Garnethill Multicultural Centre and the Foodsharing Network), who bring them almost out of date food, so that it won’t land into the trash can. I truly believe this is a great idea and I think it would do wonders if…

The Prodigy – Smack My Bitch Up (The Cat Cover Parody)
The year is 1997. The English band named “The Prodigy” has just released one of the coolest video ever made – Smack My Bitch Up (with the perfect music to go). The video is kind of offensive (for those who get easily offended), very sexy and mysterious, promiscuous and intriguing. Here it is, to refresh your memory: In 2012 someone had a crazy idea for a remake of the video. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the original poster and creator of the video. It is a pity since he/she has done a great job with this cover. If I was a member of the band, I would have personally congratulated and…

REVIEW: Yves Rocher Brillance (Shine) Hair Conditioner
I bought this hair conditioner from a local Yves Rocher store, hoping it will make my hair soft and shiny. I payed 4 EUR on it, so it wasn’t very expensive, nor very cheap. What I liked The price is OK. It has 98% natural ingredients. The hair looks slightly shinier, although there is no miraculous effect. It has only 150ml, but it lasts long. What I disliked The first time I used it, it had an average smell. Then, it just went worse and worse. Now it smells like dead fish. Happily, the smell washes off and it doesn’t persist in the hair. Maybe the bad smell is because of…

The hipster spirit of Albrecht Dürer (in a funny way)
Albrecht Dürer… one of the best painters in the world. Born in Nuremberg in 1471, he was the true master of German Renaissance. His paintings were so fluid, his technique so good, his hand so steady… A true genius and talent! And he knew it! He painted a lot of selfportraits and you can see right from the beginning his confidence (Despite his confidence, he was not arrogant. He just knew he was really talented.) He created oil paintings, watercolor paintings, drawings and engravings. This is one of the most famous drawings, called Praying Hands. It is simple, clean, yet you can feel the pulsation of life through the veins and…

One of the best snacks I’ve ever eaten: Whaou! Crepes
When I visited France, a friend gave me a delicious snack. The brand is Whaou! (unfortunately the website is only in french) and the snack is a crepe (it is similar to a pancake, but much better in my opinion). Whaou! has many types of crepes, but the ones I’ve eaten were Cracky Crepes Chocolat et Cereals. Hmmm… and now about the taste… It is just perfect! The chocolate is not very “milky” and doesn’t leave that milky aftertaste some chocolates do (which I hate). It is not too dark either, it is just the way I like it. Inside the crepe, mixed with the chocolate are some really crispy little…
