Insta month #4

I can't believe it's already June! May have been so crazy! I've done a lot of travel, a week in sunny Rome and four days in lovely Amsterdam. I have also been to lots of parties and different events both with friends and family. One of my friends aunt is a very well known celebrity interior designer, and she invited me and my friends to a spring-garden party. The weather was amazing so we had a bonfire with marshmallows and One Direction music. I can only say it was an almost magical and very very Tumblr moment (#goals). Just a few days later I was with my entire class on our way to Rome. And Rome was very hot and sunny and ofc. amazing. We did a lot of shopping and it was just super fun being on vacation with all of my classmates. A week after I got back from Rome, I was already traveling again, this time with my mom to Amsterdam. The city is super cute and again we spend most of the time shopping. So that's what I've been doing this month.

Have a super lovely day...

A day in my life - Amsterdam

If you follow me on Instagram (which you btw totally should), you probably know that I'm in Amsterdam right now. But... I'm already leaving tomorrow which is so incredibly sad, because the city so so lovely and I think I'm in love. Anyways I thought it would be fun to show you what a typical day looks like for me when I'm traveling.

What I ate today...

I LOVE watching what other people do in the mornings, before they go to sleep or what they eat... I don't know why but I just find it very interesting and entertaining. I somehow compare myself to them without actually comparing myself, if that makes sense... Anyways I like to do that, but it's in a good way I promise. In fact is maybe silly and a little creepy to get into other peoples life like that, but I think it's fun. Therefore today I will show you what I ate. For some people it may be too much, for some it may be too little, but for me it's the perfect amount of food. 

Right now I'm on my spring break and in fact I think that when I go to school I eat way more. Probably because I'm being more active and need more energy. 

Anyways I love food almost as much as I love Harry Styles, so this is what I ate today:      

 For breakfast I ate some homemade pancakes with oats and honey (instead of sugar) to make them "healthy". I also drank an ice coffee and ate some blueberries. I know that the pancakes are not the healthiest breakfast option, but they were so delicious and they filled me up, so I don't regret eating them.

That's an Instagram worthy breakfast. --->

And because I'm obsessed with blueberries at the moment I also ate them at lunch, with a salmon - philadelphia "sandwich". The weather was pretty good today so I decided to sit outside and eat my lunch while watching YouTube videos on my iPad. Besides that I also drank some ice water and again an ice coffee this time with a little vanilla coffee syrup in it. I must say that I had a very nice lunch despite the fact that I was alone and didn't really have anybody to talk to. 

I had plenty of time today so I decided last minute that I wanted to make sushi - which also is my favourite food. It took a while (almost 2 hours!) but it tasted AMAZING and I was actually very proud of myself. Even my mom said that it tasted almost like at the restaurant. The sushi was also super super filling and I was actually not really hungry later at night.  

Even though I wasn't hungry at all I made myself some popcorn. Shame on you Alexa! But I wanted to watch a movie and you obviously (haha) need to eat popcorn while watching movies so it wasn't even an option not to. 

Btw I watched Love, Rosie starring Lily Collins, Sam Claflin and Suki Waterhouse. If you haven't already watched it you definitely should, it's a super cute story based on the novel Where Rainbows End by Cecelia Ahern.

So the popcorns were defiantly a must!

...And that was what I ate today

Insta month #3

 I can't believe it's already May! I've been waiting on this month for so long. Soon I'll be flying to Rome and later Amsterdam, attending birthday parties and going to different events. May is always a busy month for me; I have to prepare myself for my exams, always a lot of travel and ballet and violin shows. 

But if I have to be honest with you, April was pretty busy and stressful to. 

After I came back from Italy I found out that unfortunately my grandpa passed away. Since my family lives in another country we flew to his funeral. Before that I managed to go to the hairdresser so I could get some highlights. After we came home and I started school again I had so much homework. Every day I stayed up till late night and did homework so I could keep up with my classmates. That's why I didn't blog much in April. 

Later in my mom had some work in Washington so of course she got me the newest issue of the American Vogue which I of course read instead of doing my homework.

So that's pretty much what I've been up to in April.

Have a lovely weekend...

My top saving tips for broke teenagers

Money, money, money

Must be funny in the rich man's world

Money, money, money

Always sunny in the rich man's world

All the things I could do

If I had a little money

It's a rich mans world

Raise your hand if you sometimes(always) don't have enough money to buy your dream Mulberry bag, some lovely Acne jeans or just clothes. People say that money can't buy you happiness (and they are right), but the can for sure buy you a new pair of gorgeous stilettos, which for me is the same.

And trust me I know how it feels to be a poor teenager always dreaming about more money. Therefore I've selected my top tips on how you can save your money and use them on something great - like a new bag.

Music crush: Ella Eyre

It's no secret that I have a big passion about music - I simply love it and can't function without it. I once found an quote on Tumbler that said "headphones in problems out". And it's SO true! Whenever I'm all sad and gloomy I instantly get in a better mood when I listen to one of my good-vibes-only playlist on Spotify. The music just makes my wanna dance, sing and just basically act like I'm in a musical. 

In the moment I have a huge music crush on the lovely Ella Eyre, who is (if you don't already know) a British singer and songwriter. You need to listen to her new amazing song "Together" from her new album "Feline" which will come out in less than a month. Now you know what I'm going to buy very soon.

 She is best known for single "Waiting all night" with Rudimetal and "Gravity" with DJ Fresh. But all of her songs are super catchy and she have a unique voice I can't get enough of. 

Beside of Ella's music let's just take a moment and look at her hair - it's simply gorgeous and perfect.

Insta month #2

Can't believe it's already April! Also this month has definitely gone way too fast. Also a lot of things happened to my: I met so many important and royal people (blog post). I went to Italy and got lots of new clothes and shoes.
I remember like it was yesterday when I've got some beautiful and instagram worthy roses as a gift.
Another thing I had to take a insta picture of was my breakfast: Green juice + newest issue of Elle. That reminds me of my favorite quote "When I first moved to New York I bought Vogue instead of dinner. I just felt it fed me more." -Carrie Bradshaw

Later I went on a ski holiday to Italy with my family. It was great and the weather was fabulous. I must honestly say that I love skiing and it's my favorite sport even though I have ballet classes 3 times at week. There is just something about skiing that makes me love it so much. Maybe it's the speed that you can reach or the control that you have over your skies or maybe just the nature and the amazing view. I don't know, but anyway I seriously love skiing. 

So that's what happened to me this month.

A day in my life

After hearing the news that Zayn Malik had left One Direction my soul died inside. Seriously I cried for hours and I'm still not completely over it now. My plan was actually to blog a couple of times this past week but unfortunately life happens and I simply couldn't get it together and write a blog post (or do anything productive in my life). I know that life moves on and so should I to but I still can't think about anything else than 1D.    

Right now I'm home but just a couple of days ago I was in Madonna Di Campiglio in Italy with my family. We actually came home yesterday and my plan was to blog while being there but the internet was so poor and my heart was (and still is) broken so I couldn't really do it. Anyways I thought that it would be fun to show you what a typical day looks like for me while I'm on ski vacation.

Breakfast ideas

I'm definitely a morning person. For me there is nothing better than waking up super early (also on the weekends) so I can do yoga and have a lot of time to prepare a nice breakfast. If I don't get out of my bed early I will immediately have a bad day. Of course when my alarm starts to ring the first thing that comes to my mind is to go back to sleep. But then I remember that I'm starving and I force myself out in the kitchen so I can make myself a nice breakfast. It's the meal I can't skip - I'm such a big breakfast person. Therefore I decided to share some of my favorite breakfast recipes with you. Even through I have way too much time in the morning I don't like to spend way too long on my breakfast. That's why the recipes are all super easy,  delicious and fast. I would also so that they are mostly pretty healthy.

Banana/Oats pancakes

-Banana

-Egg

-Oats

-Milk

First I put my banana, egg and oats in a bowl and mix it all together with an hand blender. Then I just cook them on a pan on medium heat. If you want to make them sweeter you can add some syrup or honey on top. However the banana is already sweet itself so I prefer them without anything on top. 

Alexa's bookclub

I can't hide that I love reading. There is this quote: Reading is dreaming with open eyes. And it's so true. Whenever I'm reading a good book I'm in a whole different world. It's the best way for me to take a break from everything and just think about something different. I love comparing myself to the main character and imagining what I would do. That's why I completely forget the time when I read and also can't stop myself from continue reading the next page (but only if it's a good book ofc). 

I must say that I mostly read young adult novels about teen girls, but sometimes I also pick a book like Stephen King's Under the dome or the 2014 bestseller Gillian Flynn's Gone Girl. So I must say it changes pretty much all the time. 

I my hectic life I don't get so much time to read that I would wish I had. But whenever I have a moment off I love to grab a good book. Whenever I'm traveling I also love to read. Especially on long trips with an airplane, train or with the car. And that bring me to the fact that I'm going to Italy for skiing. We do that every single year so it's kind of a tradition now. And every time we drive through Germany, France, Switzerland, Lichtenstein and Austria, so it's quite a long trip. That's why I love to bring a good book with me.

Here are some of my favorites:

John Green - Paper Towns

Paul Torday - Salmon Fishing in the Yemen

Sophie Kinsella - Confessions of a Shopaholic

Alice Sebold - The Lovely Bones

Jane Austen - Pride and prejudice

Kiera Cass - The Selection Stories

Jay Asher - Thirteen Reasons Why

F. Scott Fitzgerald - The Great Gatsby

Kathryn Stockett - The Help

John Green, Maureen Johnson and Lauren Myracel - Let it Snow

In(sta)spiration

When I am bored out in the public, I usually go on my phone and stalk some people on Instagram. During my oh so productive stalking sessions I constantly find new amazing accounts I instantly fell in live with.

They always inspire, motivate my and the pretty pictures makes me so happy.

Here are some of my favorite Instagram accounts I follow:

@blushshop is one of the most perfect accounts I have ever seen. All of their pictures look like they just came out from a pinteres/we heart it page. They are all so bright and lovely!

Healthy broccoli soup with coconut milk

Every Tuesday I make dinner for my mom and I, today I decided to try something different: a broccoli cream soup with coconut milk.

The soup turned out really well and it was very tasteful. Cream soups are just so good, super healthy and perfect for the cold winter/spring weather.

Insta month #1

And it's already March! This month has definitely gone too fast. I remember like it was yesterday and I sat in the kitchen and ate breakfast. It was the 1st February and my mom baked cake, because it was Harry Styles birthday, and we all know that I needed to celebrate that. The day before I went to Copenhagen Fashion Festival with my friend. We met famous danish and international bloggers and people from the fashion industry. It was a really cool experience and I can't wait to next year. 

About a week later I had winter break at school. Most of the time I didn't do anything but one day I actually decided to go outside and get some fresh air. I saw some super cute pink doughnuts, so I had to take an instagram picture. Btw they tasted amazing. 

While I had winter break I ordered some stuff from ASOS, including a striped turtleneck and a gold necklace.

Later instead of homework I read the newest issue of Elle. Good job Alexa!

Last weekend I went to Copenhagen to meet with a group of good friends I haven't seen for a while. We went to Joe & The Juice and obviously while the others had juices I decided to get coffee. 

Last but not least my favorite fruit of the month must be blueberries. They are so delicious and at the same time healthy! I can't get enough of them, I'm basically eating them all the time.

So that's what happened to me this month.

Cute Iphone 6 cases

I've got the iPhone 6 for Christmas, and I still haven't found a cute case to it. Since I constantly drop my phone, my dad decided to buy me a clear case recently. Which is okay, but kind of boring. Therefore I found a couple of pretty and unique cases, that I seriously consider buying.

My personal favourite is the white marble case, the holographic case and the grid pattern case. They are very minimalistic and super tumblr, which are two things I'm obsessed with in the moment.
