2018 in review

As the year comes to a close, I find myself reflecting on this past year. It has been without a doubt a year full of large milestones in my life, and it changed me indefinitely. So I think about what has happened that instilled these new changes in myself, because I feel like it’s important to myself to acknowledge them and, well, because my memory is awful so it’s good to have something to look back on to remember.. It’s something I suggest you do as well! Sort through the bad and good things that have happened so that you can charge 2019 head on with full confidence.

Valentines day 2018: My love story

Happy Valentine’s Day! I have no idea about the history and origin of this day but I always knew I loved it. The stores are paraded with heart-shaped balloons and chocolate boxes and most everyday household products are temporarily tinged pink. I love how love is in the air, but more importantly, I just love how my birthday was the very next day. It felt like the fun wasn’t over after the 14th, and it was great to get discounted decorations for birthday parties! I rarely did anything special for Valentine’s Day so I never cared if I didn’t have someone to share it with because I looked forward to my birthday instead. But for the past six years, Valentine’s Day has changed and it was no longer all about me. It was about me and my boyfriend, Philipp. When people first ask me about having a boyfriend, they’re always surprised when I tell them that he lives in Germany. Then I get the next question every time: How did you guys meet?

New years resolution

Hello 2018! I know, my resolution list is way late, as it’s already the 9th of January! But I finally have a laptop and a quiet room to peacefully work in, as I just got back from a four week vacation all over the place. I’m technically still on my vacation because I’m currently in Germany, but I’m leaving tomorrow and as part of my resolutions list, I’d like to be productive with my blog wherever and whenever! Below is my 2018 resolutions (in no particular order) that I have set for myself, and they have changed quite a bit from previous years, because I am constantly changing and reevaluating what should be important. I know that you don’t need to wait for the new year to change, break, or make new habits. But it lets me reflect on the past year and think about what I could improve on and it’s a good basis for change for me.

birthday or valentines day present ideas for long distance relationships

If you’re new to my site, welcome! If you’ve been on here before, yes this may be déjà vu. That’s because this is a post I already made a few years back, but since I lost everything on my old domain I shall repost here [and edit to stay relevant]!

Long distance relationships may seem like all fun and games until it’s your significant other’s birthday… Then it gets real. Or Valentine’s Day… and it gets realer. And it’s always stressful, you can’t just hastily get a gift at the last minute for these types of relationships, it includes planning and time management. Four years ago I had to get everything in order and take it to the post office two weeks before his birthday, just so it can get on time– and it did! One year I threw everything in a box and scurried to the post office and it shipped in five days! The future! And if you’re lovestruck baboon like I am, you’ll surely know that you’d have to make that present for any holiday extra special to compensate for you not physically sharing it with them.

So a birthday, Valentine’s Day, or Christmas gift or any package in general is unfinished without these:

hello… again!

Hello to all of my faithful followers (friends and family). If you ever wondered what happened to my petitememoirs.com blog, well I forgot to pay its renewal and lost everything. 🙁 But I’m totally okay with that. Yes I lost a lot of blog posts I put my heart and soul into but that just motivates me to compensate with more. Only this time, I make videos too! (Oh jeeeez.)

So I will continue to post my lame outfits, random impulse purchases, buzzfeed-wannabe articles, and my sub-par videos for your entertainment when you’re bored. And just so I have some content up and to remind you that I actually did stuff, I will post down below some of the pictures I have lost from the other website. Enjoy!
