Are we even Human?

Hi everyone :)

First of all: Let my apologize for abandoning you guys for so long! But I have started this post 4 times now already and it always ended up as some angry ramble that I couldn't post. 

I feel e bit more composed by now as my emotions seem to have calmed down a bit and I can actually write something without feeling like I have to type faster to get everything out there. 

So last Thursday there was another rape case in India on of these cases were more than one man rapes one woman and I felt like the only thing I could write about was that. 

All my other posts seemed absolutely pointless and I had the need to get my feelings about it out there.

I mean how can we do that to another human being? Where is those people's sense for what is right or wrong?

I was so shocked that something like that could happen again that I felt like someone had pressed pause in my life and I couldn't move.

Those 5 men did that to another human being let alone a child. The two women they raped were 14 and 15. How is that okay? How can there not be some small part of them that makes them realize that what they are doing is wrong?

Rape is still oh so wrong when it is one man and one women and makes me feel sick to my stomach. However I just can't believe that there were 5 men and not one of them felt like what they did to those poor girls was violating them in the most cruel way.

It scares me to believe that humanity has come far enough that we don't recognize rape as something wrong anymore.

It makes me want to cry and un straight into a wall. It makes me angry. I feel like there is a fire pit inside me and I am ready to burst but nothing actually comes out.

How can someone rape another human being? How can someone do that to another human being? How can these men not see that they would find it oh so wrong if it were to happen to their own daughter? 

Is that not enough to stop you from doing it?

There has to be something fundamentally wrong in a persons mind not to find rape absolutely disgusting! Furthermore not to realize how much you ruin a woman's life with it. 

Even writing this, I feel like crying. 

How can we let something like that happen to other people? Why is nobody doing something? It is like one big bullying world and the bullies get away with what they are doing because nobody stands up and says: Hold on, that is not okay! 

Last time this happened it was on a bus! How can rape happen in such a public place? How numb does society have to be for something like that to happen ON A BUS?????? There are people around and no one stopped it. 

I really do feel sick writing about this.

I just can't understand how we can ruin another person's life to such an extend. The physical violation not even counted yet! 

It is nothing I will ever understand and I just wish it were punished more and not swept under the rug so much!

I really am sorry for not posting for 4 days but this just had to come out. And it had to come out in a way that I was happy with.

The rest of the week will go as planned :)

Easy Entertainment

Hi everyone :)

Today I just have a clip for you that I thought you might enjoy, because I actually intend to spend some quality time with my boyfriend seeing that we haven't spend that much time together lately. Uni has been a big part of it but mostly it was me being genuinely busy.

But I don't want to neglect you guys so here you go:

Yes they are not the best singers but I loved it :) I liked the idea :)

Creative Sunday - Piano Guys

Hi everyone :)

I am actually for once going with the theme I had planned for Sunday’s all along. Something creative.  I have probably watch all of their videos by now and I have only found them about a week ago. And most of these songs have been bought and are on replay that is how good they are. 

I am talking about The Piano Guys. Not only pop song covers obviously but that is how I found them. They do covers of really popular songs but only do acoustic versions and it is so so so good. Their stuff is addictive. 

No matter if you like One Direction or not but I can guarantee you that you will appreciate this version of their song ’Story of my Life’.

Another favorite of mine that they have also done: Let it go.

The stuff they do is pure art at least in my opinion and I am not just talking about the music. The videos they do are amazing as well. Go give their other stuff a listen as well, you won't regret it :)

A healthy Breakfast never killed nobody

Hi everyone :)

The ones of you that follow me on Instagram will have seen that I posted a picture of my breakfast on Tuesday and promised a blog post with a recipe. So here it is:

Ingredients:

3 tbsp curd

2 tbsp yogurt

1/2 tsp agave syrup

2 tbsp porridge oats

1 small handful of cashew nuts (chopped)

1tbsp honey

1 tbsp apple sauce

2 strawberries

a couple of blueberries

This breakfast is really easy to make and wont take long at all. Mix the curd, yogurt, and agave syrup together in a bowl and roast the chopped cashew nuts and the porridge oats in a pan. 

Don't use any oil or butter and stir until they start to turn brown. You have to really stay on that otherwise you might burn them. 

As soon as they start to turn brown you add a tablespoon of honey and mix it together thoroughly, then take it off the hob to let it cool down for a bit.

After that you only have to chop up your strawberries and your are practically done.

Get your curd and yogurt mixture into your breakfast bowl and pour the apple sauce on top as well as your roasted ingredients.

At last add the strawberries and the blueberries and you are good to go :)

don't you just love that evil little smirk that my bowl got going on? :D

I would recommend drinking a smoothie with it but I might just be a bit obsessed with those. If you, however, feel the same: here are a view smoothie recipes!

Enjoy your breakfast :)

Make-Up Guru's

Hi everyone :)

I am a little obsessed with watching make-up tutorials on YouTube and I thought I would introduce you to some of my favourite make-up guru's, if you want to call them that.

First off obviously the one and only Pixiwoo.

Their channel is simply amazing, whatever occasion you need a look for you will find it on there, promised.

Their looks go form celebrity look recreations over special occasion looks to Halloween looks and a lot more.

The channel is run by Sam and Nick Chapman and they have been around for almost as long as YouTube has.

Pixiwoo

They also have a website and a separate channel called Real Techniques where they show tips and tricks all involving make-up. It stared out as only Sam's channel, as she also was the one who first started with the real techniques brushes, but it is both of theirs now.  If you are subscribed to one you should really be subscribed to the other as well.

Real Techniques

Next up: Fleur de Force

She does a variety of different things and you will probably find most of it very use full. I know I have.

Fleur DeForce

And the last one: Tanya Burr.

I absolutely adore her she is so cute and her videos are absolutely brilliant.

Tanya is also a make-up artist which I always find useful, because these people genuinely know what they are talking about. And I do tend to trust their judgement of products more.

Tanya Burr

Oh and before I forget it: Here are the blog's of all three of them :) Well the Pixiwoo website is more of a magazine than a blog but still...

Tanya Burr

Fleur de Force

So these are my go to YouTube channels if I need a new make-up look or if I am thinking about buying a new foundation or lipstick I usually check their monthly favourites first.

Musical Monday

Hi everyone :)

Here is some new music I would like to share with all of you :)

There is this new movie coming out in a couple of weeks called 'The Fault In Our Stars' and the soundtrack to that movie is amazing. I absolutely love it.

So in this weeks Musical Monday I am going to show you my favourite songs from the soundtrack. I hope you like them!

You know how sometimes a movie only works really well with music? I think just from listening to the music from the soundtrack you get a feeling for what the movie is going to be like. And especially the emotions it will evoke.

Enjoy!!
