- a large mixing bowl 

- a whisk

- a pancake-pan

Ingredients:

Making the pancakes:

1. Boil water and pour into a measuring beaker. 

2. Mix four eggs and a pinch of salt in a bowl. 

3. Add the vanillin sugar and two tablespoons if sugar to the mixture and continue stirring it.

4. Pour in the water (which should be a bit warmer than room temperature, but colder than boiling water) and stir with the whisk. 

5. Add the 250-280 grams of flour and mix until the consistency is smooth, but not watery. 

     How your mixture should look now:

Photo Challenge

Hey guys!
So, I'm still working on my collage, but pictures will come up pretty soon, I promise. However, to pass the time, I will be posting pictures inspired by this 30 Day Photo Challenge. This Challenge was created by and  belongs to Angelize Photography, so check out the website sometime. By the way, I'm also on Instagram and you can follow me on it by searching for Marethyu, but I don't post a lot. :)
Try out the challenge as well. I will be starting from tomorrow! (I might not upload the Daily Challenge, but a grouping of 3-4 challenges, because I don't want to spam this blog :D)

Pictures

Hey guys, I'm currently participating in a photo exhibition at my school, so I'm just taking pictures of random things connecting to the theme "Our World". So far, I snapped a ton of pictures of flowers and insects, but I want to create a collage which will include the natural world, the man-made world and the dream world. :) I'll post some pictures that I won't be using later on. I thought of doing a street fashion post every other week or so, taking pictures of someone with an outfit I thought was cool, interesting, etc. and then analyzing the style a bit, I'll probably only do it with friends though, because I'm kind if an introvert and too shy to talk to strangers. :P See you in a bit, xoxo Marethyu <3

Germany Haul

Traveling, shopping, finding new stores, oh I just love clothes and fashion. This month I've been traveling around Germany, searching for a perfect present for my bestie, and a cute, new outfit for myself. I can only say one thing: never, never ever, set out to go shopping with the two thoughts on your mind, that I had while shopping. First, I got frustrated by the lack of things I could buy for my bestie, as I wanted the perfect present, something I would be happy about if she gave it to me. I shopped in Leer and Bonn, and settled on a picture frame. I was going to buy her a pretty dress, the only problem? They only had an "L" left, and she is a really thin stick. :P So, I wandered around, found another dress I liked, and what do you think I did? I bought it for myself. Voila, I've liked the marine trend since I was in primary school, so there was no way I would pass on this.

Lucky me, my friend had a similar dress like this already, so I didn't have to wear a cone of shame for getting it. ^_^
I also got myself this Tom Taylor blouse, I love blouses, they're so versatile!

My mommy then gave me this blouse, and it's just adorable. <3 nbsp="" p="">

My journey continues in Koblenz, where we got some real leather for our bags, I'll post a link to Etsy, once we have uploaded some for sale. The bags will be gorgeous, amazingly gorgeous. One piece of leather had a really pretty dark green color, and it looks so perfect. Anyway, I was being my grumpy self that day, so I got a pair of summer sandal/wedges to cheer myself up. ^_^

The best thing comes last: shopping at Room Nine. We just set out to get my mom a cute, comfy outfit for when she's watching the Porsche Tennis Cup, and I ended up getting another marine inspired top, and a white cardigan thing, because thy suited me and I helped my mom find a pretty top that looked good with the rest of her outfit, not like the salesperson, who I think gave her a top that wasn't the prettiest of them all.

All in all, the shop had a ton of clothes and decoration for every occasion. I'm totally going in there again, though my purse will be empty when I leave. xoxo Marethyu <3 br="" nbsp="">Oh, and I got some school stuff too, like a pink binder, because my old one broke, but I think it isn't worth listing all the items in here. :P

Spring Nail Art

So, spring is coming along, and the flowers are beginning to grow, which is why I thought of doing a spring inspired design. I chose to accent my nails, rather than do all of them, because I think the design looks weird if its repeated over and over again. I used an emerald green, as it is the color of the year, according to Pantone, but you can choose any color green you like!

What you need:
- toothpick / striper
- dotting tool / hair pins
- white, green and yellow polish ( I used ANNY green racing drag, P2 summer to go!, and Orly white).

This I how you create the design:
1) Apply one or two layers of green nail polish, depending on how opaque your polish is, and let it dry completely!
2) Using a dotting tool, or a hair pin, create two dots on each nail you chose to do the design on, but place the dots further apart.
3) Using a striper, or a tooth pick, drag thin, white lines toward one dot, but don't connect the lines to the dot.
4) Do the same for the other dot.
5) Let the design dry and apply your fav topcoat!

Tips and tricks:
- After applying nail polish, put your hand into cold water for a few seconds, pull them out, and put them into even cooler water for about 30 seconds, this helps the polish dry faster.

Hope you like this design, it was inspired by: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pnO2U_FnNbs. Check out her tutorials! Send me pictures at catchy.bling@gmail.com, if you try out any nail art I post! xoxo, Marethyu

This is how the nail art looks like:

Marethyu's Favorite Music 18.02-24.02.13

Hey guys, I thought that I'll just share my favorite songs with you today since I haven't posted in awhile, because I have so much work to do.

So, here are the songs: 

- they're in no particular order, I just randomly added the song if I liked it -

• Let Her Go - Passenger
• Lights - Ellie Goulding
• Daylight - Maroon 5
• Fühlt sich wie fliegen an (feat. CRo) - Max Herre
• Beautiful Goodbye - Maroon 5
• Du - CRo - it sounds like Your Song by Left Boy, but I like the German version better, as I love CRo! -
• National Anthem - Lana Del Rey
• Stay - Rihanna

As you can see, some of the songs are from previous year, but I don't like most songs on the European charts right now - although I actually like Thrift Shop by Macklemore - so I took the one's on my iPod that I listened to a lot last week. xoxo Marethyu

Outfits of the Days - 06.02 and 07.02.2013

Like I mentioned in the last post, I was going to post the outfits I wore, inspired by my new clothes. So here come the fashion forward, cute styles I wore:
On Wednesday, the center piece of the outfit was my new dip-dye denim shirt.
I wore the shirt, beige Abercrombie skinnies, teal combat boots, a striped scarf, and red lips <3.
Today, the focus lay on my high-low black galaxy cross dress. I wore black tights and black combat style ankle boots with the dress, I didn't have enough time to apply galaxy eyes :'(, but oh well.
Got our semester reports today, and I'm so happy, although +Krupha isn't really excited about them. Love you Krupha! Check out her blog: Krupha's Crazy Candy, which she started because of me hehe.

Cute DIY idea :D

I'm so, so sorry! I haven't posted in such a long time, it's just that I have so much to do, I'm totally behind schedule. Anyway, the clothes I ordered have finally arrived, and I'll share an outfit I created with one of the pieces tomorrow, or on Thursday. So, the DIY, or how-to, I was thinking of doing was related to nail polish, because I love nail art, but I didn't do any, because of a lot of stuff going on..I'm thinking of doing little hearts and kiss-y lips for Valentine's day, or some Tribal or Galaxy Print themed nails, matching my dresses. I should buy clothes that match, but my closet if filled with random tribal print, edgy, girly, frilly, neutral, maritime styles, and I am totally confused on how to match this disaster.
xoxo, Marethyu (don't forget to check back for the tutorial, and the Outfit of the Day, coming up on Thursday or Friday!)

Vintage Decoration Idea

Where are the plans we made for two? Well, I didn't make any plans, because I reject most guys. Heartless muahaha. No, actually, I'm at a pay phone trying to call home, all of my change I spent on you..
Anyway, that is one of my favorite songs at the moment.
So what I really wanted to tell you was that one of my best friends always (ALWAYS!) crumples up all of her papers. She does that to create a cool, vintage look. She writes song lyrics, poems, quotes, etc. on paper, with pretty, colorful, cutesy pens. She then crumples up her paper until it is all soft and pretty. You can use the vintage looking paper as bookmarks, posters, and decoration.
I will put up a bunch of my favorite songs by MIKA, Maroon 5, and The All American Rejects on my walls. You can frame the paper using some sort of colored tape, it's Japanese and easy to remove, but I forgot the name, sorry! Hope you liked this deco idea, I sure did. xoxo Marethyu

Outfit of the Day - 26.01.2013

Went to the cinema today, dressed myself up hehe. We watched 'Life of Pi', it was so great, yet also so sad..the tiger reminded me of Mischka, he's such a little devil, but I still love that puppy. Here comes the outfit:
Abercrombie cardigan, Abercrombie shirt, Self-sewn skirt, Brown Leg-warmers <3, Teal Combat Boots <3
Oh, and my headband of course! I'm addicted to headbands hehe
I'm a shop-, and shoe-aholic, bought myself new clothes today even though my closet is full to the brim :P. My only reason for buying stuff? I grew out of most of it so now I have to collect staples again. Do you like my outfit and style? xoxo Marethyu

Nail Art DIY - Glitter polish.

We all know glitter polishes spice up the plain, monotone colored nail, but did you know that you can do some creative (and super stylish!) designs using glitter polishes? Here come some designs to serve you as inspiration.
First, you will need polish of any color to serve as the background (although the natural nail looks awesome too), I used OPI's Suzi & The Lifeguard, an assortment of glitter polishes, I used OPI's Serving Up Sparkle and Jafra's Love Affair, and a dotting tool (alternatively you could use bobby pins).

Nail Polishes I used.

Design 1. Bejeweled crust.
This is how it'll look.

1) Start applying nail polish just a little higher than the center of your nail, and fill in the top half your nail.
2) Use a little bit of polish and tip a triangular, lightly sparkly, design on the bottom half of your nail.

Design 2. Accent tips.
The final look.

1) Use the tip of your nail polish brush to apply glitter to the tips of your nail.
2) Apply more glitter if needed.
Or use a dotting tool to apply the polish on the tip of your nail.

Design 3. Simplicity.
1) Just pull a streak of polish, either horizontally of vertically, to create some bling without drawing too much attention.

The final look!
I applied silver and red glitter polish to my ring finger to set an accent.This is all, hope you had fun and found some inspiration. xoxo Marethyu
Ps. This would look great for Valentine's day!

New Poem - Good or Bad?

My friend just laughed at it. Well, yeah, thou, thee, etc. don't sound good when the rest of the poem isn't in old English...hehe. I'll just post it anyway, don't judge, it's bad, I know, but you chose to read it although I warned you. :)

Black hole, how large thou art,
Ripping thy trees apart.
No care if sapling, or grand,
Gnarled wood, birch, maple, oak
Pines, I see, that choice lies
With fruits falling upon me.
I can not choose, or help,
With disaster coming
Over thee. Watch, feel, hear, push,
But I can't answer thy
Pleadings for mercy.
Stillness fills your soul,
Brain loses control.
Memory plans escape,
Blackness awaits thy thoughts,
Coldness awaits the woods,
Pointing at the last step,
The hardest, yet easy
Step until foggy breath
Cocoons thee safely.

If you understand what I meant, you'll probably see the tragic illness described. No worries, the poem isn't about me, or anyone I know. It just seemed right to write about depression. Peace, xoxo Marethyu

Made me lol

I love Harry Potter, obsessed with it since age 5. I can't stop reading the books, whether they're written in French, English or German, I just <3 Harry Potter! I am so a Slytherin, partially because of the picture, but also because I'm evil, mwahaha..Anyway, I just wanted to show you the picture, I got it from the Harry, Ron and Hermione all ended up related Facebook page. It's awesome, but my friend doesn't want to be a Ravenclaw. -.- xoxo Marethyu

How to: Friendship Diary

Hey, I just wanted to mention that this post was made on my old blog, which I won't be updating anyway, and I liked this post, so I put it up here :).

Today was great...again! :P My best friend and I bought an A4 sized book and started using it as a Friendship Diary....To write a friendship diary, you need: A notebook, Stickers, Glitter, Color Pens and Pencils, a Ruler, Pictures and Something to write about...duh. :)It took us one hour just to draw the cover page where we wrote "Friendship Diary" and our names. Then, on the next page, each one of us wrote about what we think of the other; like when and where we met, what we think of them, their character, what we do together, etc. After that,we skipped writing our Profile, because we didn't have enough time. We just drew a nail polish table, where I, using nail polish, wrote down each name. When doing this you should create something funny, for e.g. you could classify white as snow white, or glitter as icicles. That is what we did. :D We just started the diary, so I'm gonna post further steps as time passes.Have a nice day, Marethyu and her BFF :*

Outfit of the Day - 21.01.2013

So it's been one month since all of those "the world is going to end", "total apocalypse", etc. posts have failed miserably. A little celebration on having survived? No, don't think so. :P Today's look is all about being relaxed, while stylish. So, here comes the outfit:
Beige Abercrombie Jeggings, Green Mangoon Teens Top, Fake-fur Vest, Purple UGGs (I wanted to wear my Combat Boots, but it was just to cold outside *shiver*).
The bling in this outfit? My (kinda) sparkly headband and some sparkly elements on my top. :)
Had no time for my make-up and hair, ugh it looks so weird, but I had to live with it. :/
Love and peace, Marethyu..

Bent Truth

Life without friends?

It's like there are no happy ends.

But a foe as my friend?

So the truth is always bent?

No, these friends are fake,

They urge you to make mistakes,

I wish that you are good,

But who would have understood,

That you are a soul,

Who has no control

Over its hateful emotions,

In the deep, dark oceans

Of Hell,

Where you will dwell.

Do share my posts if you want, but credit me please. I would credit you too, if I re-posted something. How would you feel if someone stole your idea? 

Love and peace, Marethyu...
