Best of Women's March Posters

Welcome to a new post!

I had actually already been working on a blogpost, which was halfway done already when I got home to find all of my social media feeds spread with something else, that completely made me change my mind. I am really sorry if the sentences that are going to follow are a complete mess and really not that well written, but my creative juices somehow left me, even though I've got so many things to tell you.

Yesterday, millions of women, and even a huge bunch of men, from all over the globe decided to march for the protection of our rights and safety. Call it a march against a certain new President of the United States, if you want. Seeing so many people, who are all so different and probably have various different goals in life, coming together to fight for something like this, is truly breath-taking. If you went online yesterday, I don't think there could have been a way to not pass tons of pictures of the marches and posters.

I just think it's absolutely incredible what the human race can do, and what our society is capable of. Yes our generation is the one that apparently only cares about technology and nothing else, but if you take a deeper look at the events of yesterday, you will realize, that our generation is awake, and we know what we want.

We don't want to be thrown back into a society of over a hundred years ago. We have learned from the past, and we won't let someone like Donald Trump destroy those achievements that our ancestors, and even some of the people that were still marching along yesterday took so long to fight for. "We are all created equal." - so why should we let someone tear those voices down. We are equal, and we are strong, and all of us deserve to hold the same rights, no matter if our skin is dark or light, no matter what we believe in, no matter if we are a woman or a man, love men, women or both, no matter if we're a person with little money or a person with a lot of money.

You can become president and change things, but that doesn't mean that we won't fight against it. I am not American, I am German, and I am going to fight for this just as much as an American woman will, just as much as any other woman or man will do from all over the globe that doesn't want to give up any of her or his rights.

 I'd like to quote Michelle Obama here and say: "When they go low, we go high!". So that is what we are going to do. This man will not only try and change things in the US, but with that he will have an impact on the rest of the world too, and we can't allow him to do anything to take away our rights and our lives.

We deserve what society has fought for for many years, and we won't let anyone take that away from us!

And to celebrate this, here are my favourite posters from yesterday's marches.

I don't think there's anything else needed to be said. I am so proud and happy that all of these people took part in the march. And even the people like me, who weren't able to go to any march, we were all with you. Everyone deserves the same rights.

Have a good week ♥

Xmas Gift Guide for Women & Teens

Welcome to a new post!

Since Christmas is coming up very soon, and there is always at least one person that you don't know what to get, I decided to hop on the train of Christmas Gift Guides, and do some this year. Starting off with today's ideas for women and (female) teens. 
I can't promise you that these things will be for everyone that you are trying to find something for, since every person has different interests and passions. I tried to cover different types of interests somehow. And I do hope, that these will help at least some of you a teeny tiny bit!
A male version will be up very soon :)

 Starting off with the typical female stuff: Make-up.

There is so much great make-up out there, and to be honest if you don't know what to get there are always lovely people in the shops that will help you find something nice. As an example I have chosen one of the Benefit Sets that has been created for Christmas. There are a various of different sets, so you can get the products that you want. They are a great way to try out a few products at the same time, without spending money on each of them! I know that I would love to get this by someone, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only female.

Next is beauty. 

As you may already know I love Zoe Sugg aka Zoella, and she also owns her own range at Superdrug and feelunique.com. Her products always have the cutest packaging, but the Xmas ones top them all. You can now get cute little sets for example including cozy socks and her Soak Opera Shower Gel & Body Wash, or the Lipbalm Set. 
I love the products that I own from her range, so go have a look!
 Tanya Burr's make-up range is also incredible, and she has launched some christmas limited editions as well, like this cute nail kit, which I think is pretty cute and would be a lovely gift!
Shower gels are also always an essentials so this cute set by Philosophy which included four differently smelling shampoos is really nice for any person that you don't know what to get! We all need them at some point in our daily life ;)

 
Fashion wise I have only picked out this lovely white Zara scarf, since I find that fashion tastes are to different to do a proper gift guide on them. Scarfs are always a nice gift though because they make you warm and cozy in a cold winter (if it will every get any colder though *cough*). Zara scarfs might be a bit more pricey than one from H&M or Primark, but they are much better quality, much softer in my opinion, and you got a lot of different styles to choose from! 

If the person you are gifting isn't technically asking for a certain jewellry piece, but you know that they love necklaces or bracelets for example, I always find it a really nice idea to personalize something. Wether it's putting on the date you got together or it's just the first letter of her name. Be creative!

Candles around christmas time are a statement piece in every household in my opinion, wether you light them or they just stand there to look pretty. In my opinion Yankee Candle has the best range of different types of smells, so you are likely to find something for every candle lover out there!
 
Who doesn't love a good phone case? They look pretty and help to protect your phone at least a tiny bit. I LOVE all of these phone cases that come around at christmas time, and you might not want to put them on your phone for the whole year, but they are still a really nice idea as a gift! You can even get personalized ones on the internet!

 Mugs are always something you need, even if it's just for guests. I have found this absolutely adorable deer mug, and I HAD to include it! Isn't it the cutest thing ever?? *-* You could even fill this with some nice christmassy sweets or biscuits, or with a tea if the person likes tea, and put in a nice packaging.

 

To buy a book for a book nerd is probably very hard if you don't know what books they own, but you could always get a gift card from the book store. To mention a certain book that I recently read and loved, I would say get 'The Girl On The Train' by Paula Hawkins! It's incredibly well written, and such a good plot!
For the more creative or stressed type of person, why not try a zentangle book! These are really hyped at the moment, and basically the new versions of colouring in books from back in the past. They are also meant to release stress, which I find so cool!

For the kitchen lover that still mixes via hands in a bowl, why not get them a Kitchen Aid? It's so amazing, and you don't have to do anything else apart from clicking some buttons and put in your ingredients! I personally think this is an amazing invention!

Who doesn't love a good tv series or a good film, let's be serious. I love Once Upon A Time, Pretty Little Liars or The Originals for example, series wise, but the best is probably to find out what type of series the person watches, and then google or ask and choose something similar! You can never go far wrong with DVDs or CDs.

Calendars are always a nice idea too, wether it's one with pictures of New York or just a weekly planner with a cute flower pattern. Everyone needs to be organized in a certain way in this hectic nowaday society, so why not? If you want something more personal, why not make one with pictures of you and that person, for example?

Now onto a bit more of the DIY section.
I personally find it a great idea to print out some pictures and either put them in a scrapbook or in a nice frame, for example. On some websites you can even get them in a polaroid style, which I find gives them an even cuter touch!
You could also put together a basket, with lots of little treats! I always love seeing these, as you can get so creative with them, and put in whatever you want! You could do a Pamper Night or an Anti Stress one, for example! There's tons of inspiration on weheartit, tumblr or pinterest that can help you get inspired!


I hope I was able to help and give you some inspiration somehow. Look out for the male version very soon ;)
Let me know something that is on your wishlist this year, maybe we can all somehow inspire each other that way! :)


Love, Jacqueline Xx
