Pancakes Recipe

Hey guys! I was craving pancakes today, so I decided to make some AND share our family recipe with you. :) Enjoy your pancakes!

What you'll need:

- two measuring beakers 

- a large mixing bowl 

- a whisk

- a pancake-pan

Ingredients:

- 500 ml of water

- four medium eggs

- a pinch of salt

- 5 grams of vanillin sugar

- two tablespoons of sugar

- 250-280 grams of flour

- two tablespoons of sunflower oil

- two tablespoons of olive oil 

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:

6. Pour in both oils and mix. Then cover the bowl with paper and let the pancake mix rest for 30 minutes.

7. Pour a bit of cooking oil into the frying pan.

8. Fry the pancakes in the pan. 

Et voila! Your pancakes are finished. Serve them with whatever you like and enjoy. :) I always overindulge in honey and sugar..oops. :D

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
