Chef and pics: moi
I love cooking and trying new stuff and flavours, such fun! And I love eating healthy and a lot of vegetarian and fish. Although I eat turkey quite a lot and I enjoy meat too sometimes.
ANYWAY, today (since I got time when I'm sick at home), I decided to try out our little mini-oven we (Alessia my room-mate, and I) have in our kitchen. I had some Turkey mini-filets and pesto so I thought I'd just make a very easy and tasty turkey á la pesto. In the oven (180 degrees for 15-20 min). Turned out very nice. Serve with salad and choose like bulgur, rise, pasta etc. to have with it and garnish with parsley. (I didn't feel I needed any carbs right now, just laying in bed all day haha, and had bread for breakfast, so that's why I only had turkey and salad!) - BON APPÉTIT.

you learn from your mistakes
A thing I haven't done for a long time is hot chocolate. I thought, it's december so why not start again? Not a bad idea! I made it out of hot milk, cocao and honey. I usually use vanilla powder and sugar, but I didn't have it at home, and honey wasn't wrong either.
Otherwise? (not so fun to read so you don't have to read haha) This morning I got up early to go to the doctors, because my cold never goes away. Constant coughing for 2 weeks, almost 3. The doctor luckily said it was just a normal flue, which is normal to have this time of the year. He gave me two medicines and a certificate for school saying I need to stay at home for three days. Uuuuugh, I really don't want to miss a day of dancing, but I also realize I have to relax and take it easy to get well. Health unfortunately have to go first. :( I pushed it to far, going to school when I was really bad, I had no energy and felt dizzy and could hardly talk, but now I have to get well. I'm going to cure myself so much theese days so I will come back stronger than ever! Is there someone of you who are also ill? In that case, hope you feel better soon, and remember - better to stay one day more at home to be sure you're well!

HAPPY.
SO, Finally it's the most beautiful time of the year - December. I love, love, love and love this month so much! I'm not starting it very well though, I mean laying in bed sick all day wasn't my plan, but I've tried to make the best out of it and one thing I made was a playlist with my favourite christmas songs! I thought I share it with you: christmassy - hope you like it!
And, now skype with my family and friends awaits! To all the swedish: glad 1:a advent! :) And to the others happy first of december! <3 Let this month be the best!

Breezeblocks
My favourite song right now is called "Breezeblocks" by alt-J. Really cool and nice song!
Otherwise? Doing pretty well. Growing stronger for each day that goes, learning lots in the ballet everyday, living life fully. I think moving abroad and doing what I want is the best decision I have ever made. So, I advice you to go for the thing you really want, and you know that if you want it enough it will work out, don't think about others - it's your life. Don't be afraid. You will not regret it.

pics from the weekend
Today my day has been filled with:
- kügym
- maths
- ballet
- politics (tumblr)
- pas de duex
I'm thinking more and more about Christmas, now that it's coming nearer. I really look forward to going home for two weeks and celebrating Christmas with my family and friends. These times of the year feel even more important for me now than they did before, because I'm not seeing my family a lot. But that's whats so great later, when you finally meet them, it's going to be so nice!
Until I go home, which is in like 3-4 weeks, I'm going to work as much as I can to become stronger and better dancer. In the last 3 weekends that's left; brunch with my lovely friends, christmas markets, christmas party and the search of christmas presents awaits.
Most important of all, I will enjoy this cosy time of the year which I really, really like so much! And I think you should do it too, no stress, worries, sad faces becase it's the time of JOY.

yea, I think we managed
Yesterday. Alessia and I went out to get some christmas feeling, and I can tell you that we sure did! We went to Hackescher Markt where they had a small market and I tried Chestnuts for the first time. After that we took a bus to Potsdamer Platz and I took some pics of the three cool buildings! We also visited a really nice Christmas market there and I kind of fell in love with the stars in the picture above! They were beautiful, I might go back and buy one soon. In Potsdamer Platz you can also find Sony Center, and in there they have made an amazing and huge light-setting, it felt like in a film! They also had a bubble machine and they bubbles looked like snowflakes in the light!
Around 7 we walked into a BBQ restaurant and orded some dinner. I had grilled Duck and Herb Potatoes with smoked sauce, really tasty. And btw, it was also the first time I tried duck, which won't be the last time either!
So, I think we managed quite well with getting a Christmas feeling, don't you say?
PS: I'm loving Berlin more and more for each day, it's really a great city!

amazing mess
Made my first Fish Tacos tonight! Have you tried it? If not, you should because it's superb!
I followed this recipe (homemade salsa, guacamole and marinade for the fish), it's in swedish but I hope there is an English-language-button or maybe google translate can help haha, however it's not difficult and it doesn't require perfection! I didn't make the Cole Slaw because I don't like it haha and I don't think it's very Taco-like. I filled my tortilla with lettuce, cucumber, tomato, onion, sweet corn and jalapenos instead! :)
PS: I think I learnt to never buy taco-sauces or spice-mixes anymore, it's so much better when you do it yourself!

MY ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE ANIMATED CHARACTERS.

a secret love of mine
I love and have a passion for shoes! I think they are really interesting and I love wierd styles, especially platform types. So, this is maybe something you didn't know about me.. (?) I think they are the finish of an outfit, and shows quality and personality. I rather have one pair of good, quality and stylish shoes than many cheap with no special style.

Get along with the voices inside of my head
Hello everybody,
Hope you're all doing fine! :)
I'm happy but sick right now so I had to miss ballet today :( *feeling really bad*! I went to school as usual, although I didn't feel so good, and had german and kügym (the stamina, stretching etc. lesson), and just felt that my body was really weak and couldn't work as normal. Like, not tired but really exhausted and I got really warm quickly. I felt dizzy and stuff so I decided, after many questions to myself, to go home and rest. Now I feel a bit better, but I don't know if it's better during the physical training yet, I really hope so! Now it's time for an early night, good night! :)

Deep into some mystery
hey guys,
have you got any wishes about what you would like to see more of?
I know that you would like to see more dance pictures, but I don't really know how. Because I can't bring my camera to school everyday and then I only got my iPhone, do you prefer iPhone pictures instead?
I'm also thinking to start bloging about outfits, would you like that?

Ginger tea
Hello guys, I've been caught by a cold which sucks. Is there anything worse than being sick and not being able be your normal?
NO, I don't beleive so. I'm making lots of ginger tea at the moment, I think it helps. This morning I did a very simple one with just ginger&honey, but you can add rasberry/strawberry jam and lemon. It's still healthy!
Yesterday I didn't feel well at all and just stayed at home in the evening, watching "7 Pounds" with Will Smith - such a great movie!
Todays plans: nothing. No but tonight I'm going out for a pizza anyway and the rest of the day I will fill with something.. I really want to take some pictures, a long time ago now. Have a nice Saturday guys! Ciiaaoo <3

TONIGHT: performance and Polina Semionova!
Done! My first performance with the Staatliche Ballet Schule Berlin - check! I think the performance was over all good, a few mistakes but otherwise I think the school performed well.
AND, guess what?! In the end (backstage), Polina Semionova came! OMG! I love her and she stood like 2 m. away from me...! On friday she is going to look at some pieces from Le Corsaire at the school which I'm unfortunately not participating in, but I will watch of course! Looking forward to it, and I think she will be visiting the school more often now, SO exciting!

Some teachers just nail it
Graceless - The National
Two months ago, my brother on visit in Berlin, miss it
Today was a really funny day. I don't know why but I found everything funny and awkward haha. This week is a fun week - wednesday performance and Thursday as well as Saturday we are free! I haven't got any plans for the long weekend (although friday is a normal schoolday) but I really fancy going to some markets. Today it felt a bit more like winter in the air - which made me think of Christmas even more, I really love that time of the year! Sooo, maybe I'll go looking for some Christmasy-ish-lights to put up in the flat to make it more cosy.. haah I probably sound really dreamy now but I really love Christmas! But now, enough haha. Hope you've had a good day!
