First Balloon This Year and Trip to Asia

The day before, I saw my first (hot-air) balloon this year. And as promised yesterday, here is the picture. Unfortunately it's just a small red dot, in real it looked 10 time bigger. I was so happy, to see this red dot with this stunning blue sky. It makes me wish to have a balloon flight sometimes!!

Then I promised you to tell you about my trip. I am so excited and I can't do anything else than preparing myself and my closet for the journey (Believe me there are lots of things to do, business dresses, casual dresses, visa, travel plans, flights, hotels and so on).

I am flying to Asia, to be exact I am going to Hong Kong, mainland China and Taiwan. Just for 10 days and to be honest it's no vacation, it is work. BUT I love traveling and I love Asia. The food is one of my favorites (honestly, I like food generally ;) ), the people are so nice and kind in Taiwan, so busy and multi-culti in Hong Kong. Mainland China will be my fist time and it's just for one day to visit a factory, so I am more excited because of a new country. Actually I was a little afraid as I got the information about the trip because it is near Japan, but then I thought about it and decided all this brave people in Japan have to live and work with this huge catastrophe, so I should be more courageous and make the trip. So after a long time of office days I am happy to travel again, even if it's a business trip.

So guys now I have a question or a request: do you know something I should try, see, taste or experience while I am in one of this three destinations? And if you haven't been there, are you interested in something special, so I can find out or make pics or or or....

Let me know what you really want to know or tell me some hidden treasure I should discover!!

I hope to get some input from you guys or questions or anything else!!

Wish you all a beautiful day!!

exciting, nervous and ballon-like greetings

Etsy Shop feature: Coconut Head Jewelry

This week I like to show you some awesome scientific jewelry from San Francisco!

Welcome to

Coconut Head Jewelry

This beautiful jewelry is made from Noelani. She is specialized in creating odd, unique and, out of the ordinary science jewelry. But it didn’t start off that way. Her shoppe opened as a beaded earring/necklace shop. After a few months of minimal sales, shop views, and marketing advice from her economist friends she decided to create a brand with a specific target audience which is what you see now.

Enchanting Wing Earrings

Recently, she has received a degree in biology which may come as no surprise is the primary inspiration for many of her pieces. Noelani loves the sciences and it’s important for her to try to create pieces that won’t be perceived as tacky, overtly nerdy but rather skillfully clever.

TeAcH - Periodic Table

Neolanis goal is to reach out to science enthusiasts, like herself, and provide a quality product that provides a channel of self expression for geeking out. Her favorite materials are shrink plastic (shrink dinks), aluminum wire, and sculpey glaze. They are just wonderfully versatile and allow for a great deal of experimentation and personalization.

Cerulean DNA

It’s fantastic to see the different and complex pieces that can be made with these simple materials. Her future goals includes expanding the assortment of jewelry available (including rings, necklaces, bracelets) and creating a Coconut Head Jewelry website to showcase and sell her handmade creations.

Have a look at her shop and show some love. Also I like to invite you to leave a comment and let Noelani know what you think about her shop and beautiful work.

Thank you guys for stopping by and please spread the word about this little blog and the cute scientific jewelry shop!!!

Wish you all a nice day

beautiful scientific greetings

new collection cups

I found time again to ad three more collection cups. They are all from an dusty dark attic, but after cleaning and some love they look great and chic.

First we have a purple / lilac one. Its a very girly color combination and I see a white porch on an sunday afternoon, a small rocket chair and a lovely little girl having a tea party with her friends, dolls and teddy bears:

Purple Dots To Love & Drink Tea And Coffee

The second collection cup is a golden one. The set looks like from a different time, when princesses strolled around in a beautiful garden and played hide and seek in a maze. And then the maid called for tea.

Golden German Princess Collection Cup

My third new listing is pretty classic. It feels like it was in the family since generations. The green and gold pattern looks like it was used only for christmas, when the whole family came together and enjoyed coffee and cookies on Christmas Day in the light of candles and the christmas tree.

Precious German Collection Cup

I hope you like my newest listings and I would really appreciate, if you could leave me a comment.

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and find some time for yourself.

Nice Friend

I have so awesome friends! Today a very good friend of mine drove 20 min. to my office just to say 'Hi' and give me this lovely flower! Isn't this nice! I was so stunned! We chatted a while, talked about all the news and then he was gone.

Isn't it a great gift to have such good friends, who just come over to ask you 'How are you doing?', bringing you flowers and wishing you a nice weekend?!

It absolutely made my day and confirmed my color of this spring season: sunny funny YELLOW!!!

I hope you all have at least one good friend who ask you ever once in a while how your life goes! I wish erveryone a person like this in it's life!!

friendly greetings

bad skin

I had many problems with my skin during puberty. But not more than other girls and boys with bad skin and lots of hours in waiting rooms from adermatologists. I used different wash lotions, peelings, creams and prescription ointments. Nothing helped really and I became never a perfectly smoth and spot free face but I got through it and concealer became my every-day-friend. Now, years after my puberty

I realized more and more spots.

After self-tests with different creams, diets and alternativ ways I decided to consult a doctor again. And guess what he told me...

SURPRISE

I am back in puberty. Ok, not really me, but my skin. So I have to start again with all this wash lotions, peelings, creams and prescription ointments.

Below you will find some good and nicely products

I tried and will use again, after my skin is 'grown up":

Dr. Hauschka

La Roche-Posay

So I hope you have more luck with your skin!!

surprisingly greetings
