one day, two friends with cameras, sunny skies, trees in autumnal colours and a very pretty city called Budapest ... // Zum Glück habe ich selten dieses "Ich muss raus"-Gefühl. Wenn man den Arbeitsstress aber nicht wie sonst immer an der Haustür ablegt, sondern mit rein nimmt, dann ist es höchste Zeit für einen Kulissenwechsel. Also beschlossen meine Freundin und ich, uns in einen Bus zu setzen und ein kleines Abenteuer zu erleben, wenn auch nur einen Tag. € 16 für die Busfahrt von Wien und retour - ich kann mir nichts Materielles vorstellen, was den gleichen Glückseffekt hätte haben können. (psst: in den Stories findet ihr noch ein paar herbstliche Momentaufnahmen aus Budapest.) #daytrip#travelgram#budapest#buylessdomore#welivetoexplore#igersbudapest#autumnal#herbstliebe#kurztrip#vsco

sunday evenings are great for confessions, don't you think? so let's be honest: I always smiled at those "tree huggers". this typical hemp-jumper-wearing biology teacher kind of people who only buy organic and fairtrade and eat vegan... but they were right all along. and now I'm (almost) one of them (haven't hugged a tree yet but who knows, maybe I meet a nice oak or a pretty birch...). some people just realize things a little earlier than others. and things are now very urgent. if we live as wasteful and selfish as in the last decades, our planet will change dramatically - in a very negativ way. we really have to realize AND ACCEPT this, it's never too late. so: get informed, as much as you can. inform others. start with your family and friends. speak up, even dare to be a pain in the ass for some people. write e-mails and ask restaurants, labels and companies why they don't act more eco-friendly and make some suggestions. the worst thing you can do now is nothing. 💪🏻 // #getactive#motivation#greenwarrior#fightagainstclimatechange#gogreen#nachhaltigkeit#consciousness#environment#stopwaste#ecofriendly

let's embrace the halloween spirit a little longer with some pretty creepy novels 🦇 btw, did you know that Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds" was actually written by a woman? Daphne du Maurier wrote it as a short story in 1952. since my school years I'm a big fan of this remarkable woman. she published her first novel ("The Loving Spirit") at the age of only 24 and you will surely know her creepy story "Rebecca" which was also adapted by Hitchcock and was played as a musical too (I saw it and loved it). As a child, Daphne was a tomboy – she dressed like a boy, cut her hair short and created an alter ego for herself called Eric Avon. maybe because female authors weren't as admired as male ones back then. today she does have a lot of fans and admirers, among them a really famous one: me. hah, joke. no actually it's the king of horror, Stephen King. // #spooky#halloweenspirit#creepybooks#bookstagram#booksilove#favoriteauthor#daphnedumaurier#femalewriter#hitchcock#rebecca#stephenking#horrorstories

monday, huh? I wasn't a big fan of that day too. well actually I'm still not, sometimes. especially when I've spent the whole weekend as relaxed and snug on our cozy couch, I feel like Gollum who is forced to leave his comfy cave to chase this Baggins bastard through middle-earth. but hey, I'm an optimistic soul so I always decide to make monday the best day of the week! ...or at least the most productive one. and so can you: start an hour earlier. answer the most important e-mails first. do the unpleasant phonecalls or meetings. make appointments you will otherwise forget or dates with friends you can look forward to. drink an extra glas of water and work out. get shit done on monday. and so you have done the urgent things already and can spend the rest of the week beeing lazy in your cozy home like old Bilbo. // #mondaymotivation#getshitdoneday#motivation#positivethought#fwis#fwisfeed#pumpkin#marketday#autumnstroll#autumnlover

going to the market was really educational for me. like most people, I completely lost the knowledge about the food I'm eating. supermarkets almost pamper us with offering everything anytime and so we lose the sense for natural seasons - hello avocado toast, I'm looking at you! buying at the farmers market every week made me realize again how nature actually works and also how much wonderful regional fruits and vegetables exist that I never tried cooking with. 🌽 Es klingt blöd, aber anfangs war ich ein wenig gelangweilt darüber, wie wenig Auswahl an Gemüse und Obst es gibt, wenn man regional und saisonal einkauft - vor allem im Winter. Ich war verwöhnt von den riesigen Supermarkt-Regalen. Heute bin ich fest davon überzeugt, dass wenig genug ist. Und so wenig ist es überhaupt nicht, wenn man genauer hinsieht, auch nicht in der kalten Jahreszeit. Ich wusste anfangs nur nicht, wie ich mit den Produkten richtig kochen soll. Aber dadurch probiere ich öfter Neues aus und experimentiere viel. Man wird einfallsreicher, kreativer und ein bisschen genügsamer. Ich brauche im Herbst nicht ständig Kiwis oder Mangos für mein Müsli oder Spargel aus einem Glashaus am anderen Ende des Planeten. Saisonal zu essen ist genauso gesund als sogenannte Super Foods aus exotischen Ländern. Warum auch nicht, denn die Natur hat es schließlich so für uns geplant - und es ist ein richtig tolles Gefühl, wieder nach diesem natürlichen Kreislauf zu leben. // #buylocal#buyseasonal#seasonalfood#farmermarket#marketday#kaufregional#autumnfood#veggies#vitamins#healthyfood#bio#bauernmarkt#mindfulness#mindfuleating#consciousconsumer

forget fomo, it's time for jomo! I admit it: it's great to have so many possibilities - events, trips, museums, new movies to see and new restaurants to try.. but sometimes I start stressing myself with thinking I have to experience something new every day. I'm not alone with that feeling, psychologists call that phenomenon fomo - fear of missing out. social media has a big impact on that. we see others having fancy dinners and dates and feel bad about ourselves staying at home, doing nothing than collecting chips crumbs on our hoodie. but you know what? I actually love doing nothing. I need to do absolutely nothing from time to time. it's healing to calm down a little and it lets me focus again on the things that are really important. so I'm all into celebrating jomo now - the joy of missing out 🍵 // #fomo#jomo#joyofmissingout#embracingaslowerlife#slowlife#liveslow#calmdown#relaxing#couchpotatoe#bingewatching#gilmoregirls#tealover#coziness#hyggehome
