In my previous monthly diary I wrote that my self esteem wasn’t that great. This month, I can luckily
share positive diary. I had mentioned that I was slowly feeling better and that summer had finally begun for me. I can now say that August made up for all the tears and stressful moments of the past months. It definitely brought me peace of mind and the relaxation that I needed so badly. So what happened in August? In short: I booked two trips, one of which I went on in August. I have just returned from the second trip. Travel is the best cure for everything I can tell you.
Apart from that, it was my mom’s birthday and I spend lots of time resting and making self reflections, which is necessary from time to time. Oh and I am so close to 800 blog followers! I can’t believe it 🙂
Curious what my month was like? Keep reading.
Due to the crazy summer, I had neglected my healthy eating pattern and didn’t cook that much and if I did, it wasn’t that healthy. I ate quite some junk food and ordered food. Once I felt a bit better, I got back my motivation to cook again.
You might know by now that I have this thing for pretty buildings
Avocado toast with a boiled egg for breakfast. Yummmm
Ehh.. August is still summer so can you please disappear, rain?
Ginger shot time!
Catching up with a friend
I shared this outfit on the blog. What do you think?
More rain. I mean, why?
I spotted these Baileys lava cakes at the supermarket. I wanted to get those so badly but I stayed strong and resisted the temptation.
They were offering samples of Starbucks cold coffee and I tried one.
It had been a while since I made a smoothie bowl for breakfast. Still a fave.
Ok, a little snack won’t hurt anyone.
Neither does a glass of wine (ha-ha)
True
On 25 August it was my mom’s birthday! We went out for a birthday lunch and had some bubbles. LOVE YOU MOM ❤
The day after my moms birthday it was time to travel to Vienna. Here I was having an Iced Cappuccino, which is my favorite cold coffee at Starbucks. What is your favorite drink at Starbucks?
Off to Vienna, baby!
My monthly diary stops here as I will be sharing a separate post on Vienna (and Malaga).
Has everyone returned from their holidays already? Or are you still going on a trip soon? Let me know in the comments 🙂

It started to get rainy here today. Boo! Although I am a fan of Autumn, I don’t like rainy Autumn.

this article really does make me miss Starbucks.
It’s so sad we have none here in Sicily.

Looks like a fun month, babe!! Happy belated birthday to your mama! Glad you were able to take some time to self-reflect–it is so useful and I need to do it more as well.
Happy mid-September!!

Valerie, my dear!
Love your pics!
But why don’t you buy the lava cakes 😅😅😅 I have to know, if they were good.
Never saw these in Germany.
I know what you feel about beautiful architecture – I’m so in love with impressive facades.
Love,
Anni

I was trying to be ”healthy” hahahaha but I regretted not buying these lava cakes as soon as I was home. I’ll have to get those soon. You know what, it was actually at a German super market so you might actually find those too!
And I am the same, always looking up to see the details of buildings 🙂 xxx
