Good morning everyone and welcome to my channel
and welcome to another vlog in German (with English subtitles)
I know, it's already been a while since I made my last German vlog
it's a beautiful sunny Friday morning
the sun is shining so beautifully outside
it makes me so happy that its been such a nice summery weather here in Munich
since a couple of weeks already
and that of of course during quarantine is just beautiful
I have already gotten myself ready and I am on my way to the office
today I want to film a couple of videos for this channel
and also for Kia-Charlotta's channel
I also want to go grocery shopping, I would also like to go running
we also want to enjoy the weather on the balcony today. we have planned so much
I already know I am never going to manage EVERYTHING
probably, we'll see
but yeah, now I am going to go, I'm gonna show you what I am wearing today
because this is one of my absolute favourite dresses
because its such a nice summery weather outside today
I wanted to wear this dress
it's actually quite good because the length is awesome
it's like a "midi" dress so its not that short so that it won't be too cold
but also not too warm
and yeah, I really like it. I bought it from mango
I think last year around this time of year
and it was super affordable because it was on sale
it was one of the last one from this dress
and I just took it with me because I think its perfect
such a comfy but also chic dress
I really like it :D
before I go I am going to apply some hand cream
I have to apply hand cream a little bit "religiously" at the moment
because my hands are so dry from all this hand washing
this is the brand Alverde and this is for very dry skin/hands
and until now it feels really good
because before that I had a, hmmm...what would I call it...a "normal" hand cream
and this one feels just really good
it still absorbs very quickly AND it also smells good
I am at home again. For you it looks like I never left home
I was just at the office and did some packing. It was nothing exciting
and now I am hone and its quarter to one
and I am not super hungry because I had pretty big breakfast
I know I do want to eat a little something now
before I start working again
so I decided that I am going to make a salad today
and I still have some left over Falafel balls
and we also have a lot of asparagus and I love asparagus
so I thought I would make an "oriental" ....is that the right word?
not oriental...
anyway I thought I would make a salad with a tahini dressing
and the falafel balls
and yeah lets just see what else we have in our fridge
but yeah, I am excited
a little bit of something different. I havn't had this salad dressing too often
and lets do this together, right?
My food is ready
I eat " a lot". I always say that
I love food. I love eating healthy
and I am definitely not on a diet or anything
for me its always important to feel full and satisfied
and that I don't feel hungry
because only like that can I fully concentrate when I work
or when I do anything, do sports
that's how I keep life fun and good
I'll see you later
ok, I am done with eating. That was so good
I am definitely full/satisfied
and honestly speaking after eating I often feel like I could take a little nap
I did still make me a coffee
and what I am going to do now is work a little
and I do still need to film a video today
I decided that I would only film one video today
and that's going to be for our company for Kia-Charlotta
It still needs a little bit of preparation
so  I am ging to do that preparation now
that I am going to film it
that I think I will still be good on time that I can still go grocery shopping
maybe still do something for work
and maybe even still go running
before we enjoy a nice evening together with Alex
so that would be the plan
the time is 20 past two
I am ready with filming
and work. And it was a very interesting video
it's about 5 myths about nail polish
and it's very interesting
its about free from nail polishes, it's about water-based nail polishes
it's about oil infused nail polishes
it should already be online. I can link it down below for you guys
if you are interested
those videos are btw always in English but with German subtitles
in case you guys want to practice your German , or your written German
that's also a good channel for something like that
and I am not the one who translates them
we have a local German who does the subtitles for those videos
so its not bad grammar...at least I hope so
it is now already quarter to five
and I would actually like to go grocery shopping now
and, as you can see, I often look at my watch to see what time it is
I always think its also interesting for you to know what a day looks like
I also wanted to show you my watch and tell you a little something about it
I've actually already made a review on this watch before
I will link that for you down below
this is the watch from Nordgreen
which I still absolutely love
I've already had this watch for a while
and I use it every single day
and I love the watch, it's just the right one for me
classic with a minimal design
it's also a danish brand and they have a so to speak
scandinavian, minimalistic concept
which is what I really like
what I really love about these watches and this brand
they have very good ethics
or they try at least to have ethical practices
and I always obviously find that very good when a brand does that
what I also really like about their watches
is that you can actually change...
hmmm..now I have to say some words in English...sorry
...change the watches strap
in English so this part of the watch
and I think that's amazing
because the watch itself is obviously always more expensive than the straps
and you only have to buy the watch once
and still be able to have different styles with the watch
and in the video where I review the watch
I was using these straps on the watch
so they are basically "just" gold
and I also love that and that's what I have been using until now
and now I got myself a vegan leather strap
which I also really like
it's like light blue or light grey
and I think this going to be perfect for summer
it's a little bit more leisurely and its definitely not as heavy as the gold strap
and I also like that a lot
and yeah just an amazing watch, I really love their concept
and the quality is also really nice, also in the straps
and it's super super easy to change
I can try to show just how quickly and easily that works
they want to give you 20% OFF for the next three days
that means you get a 20% discount from your purchase at Nordgreen
in the next three days
and after that, so if your watching this video a bit later than three days since I posted this video
you still get a 15% discount
I am going to link Nordgreen down below
I by the way have the "Native" watch from Nordgreen if you are interested
the code will also be down below in the description box but I will also put it here on the screen
so, now I am going to get myself ready to go grocery shopping
it will be a bit of bigger haul this time because its weekend
and out fridge is actually quite empty
we are by the way doing a collaboration with the company Niyok, with our company Kia-Charlotta
this is a toothpaste made with coconut oil
it's certified natural cosmetics from Cosmos Natural
and its quite an interesting concept for a toothpaste
and honestly they taste so good
really very good. And they have formulated them with dentists
the ingredients should all be amazing
for brushing our teeth and should do exactly the same, if not more, as a normal toothpaste
but I am not going to discuss that here in detail right now
but if you want to check it out, this is the Niyok toothpaste
I am going to link it down below. Again this is not sponsored at all
I still get very little sponsorship opportunities
also because I am quite strict there with which companies I want to collaborate
but this is a very interesting company
and their packaging is made of chalk (challenge tube)
which is also very interesting
a very sustainable concept which is always really good
and the collaboration is that we are gonna do a giveaway with them
unfortunately I think the giveaway is already over by the time I upload this video
so on our company's Instagram Kia-Charlotta
So I was just grocery shopping
as you can perhaps see. Although I have to say, it felt like much more as it actually was
but I thought I don't want to show everything I bought
because its way too much. Although I have to say, it felt like way more as it actually was
because I had three big and full bags
I thought I bought so much but actually I just bought what was on my list
and it should always be enough so that I wouldn't have to go shopping again on the weekend
but what I wanted to talk to you about now is a documentary recommendation
and it's called a plastic ocean
we watch this week with Alex. Everyday a little bit
and it was a very interesting documentary
and I know that by now most of us probably already know that plastic is not a very good thing for our environment
especially these, in English its called single use plastic,
so one time plastic or one way plastic, however you would call that in German
and the documentary was very interesting because it gave a little bit of a better understanding
and shows you or us just how much plastic there is in our oceans
and its much more than just these plastic bags or plastic bottles or plastic whatever
the big elements that are in our oceans
but its also all the microplastic particles which are also in our oceans
which we really can't see with our eyes
and that was just unbelievable for us.
again, we of course already knew this to some extent
sometimes things are just not as consciously in your mind until you really inform yourself about it
we did say that we should absolutely try to buy less things with single use plastic
that's since this weeks and honestly I know that its not going to be that easy
also because I am already now, like I was now in three different stores to just get what I need
because every store has something else that I need
and the other one doesn't have it, etc
its just already a little complicated
and than now with all the vegetables
is just more difficult like here for example
we love strawberring and we wanted strawberries
and we bought some and its always really strange to have organic strawberries wrapped in plastic
yeah, obviously the best option would be to stop buying strawberries (if packed in plastic)
yeah, we have to really think about how far we can go
if we would just stop buying e.g. strawberries
or also for example mushrooms. Mushroom you can definitely get without plastic from the organic supermarket
but this time we didn't go to the organic supermarket when we needed mushrooms
I actually wanted to buy strawberries from the organic supermarket yesterday (because they usually don#t wrap things in plastic)
but they didn't have any
its not that simple/easy
and its actually crazy what a complicated task it is to buy singly use plastic free
I should absolutely be much easier
check out the documentary. Its very interesting
there is nowhere where you can just "throw plastic away"
in the end of the day it is and will stay on our earth
I know we will probably never be perfect in this area
we are currently very far away from perfect
when it comes to plastic
but you can always try to do your best
and to try and improve yourself
and I think that's the most important mindset
when it comes to this topic
