There is nothing as important as feeling comfortable in your own skin. But sadly it has become increasingly difficult for everyone, but especially for young people to feel good about themselves. Instead we often feel torn apart by the ridiculous beauty standards of our superficial society. Around every corner there is someone telling you eat this, do that, work out a certain way and not any onther way. Apparently there are countless conflicting ways that lead to utter happiness, beauty and perfection - of course every one of them is the only way. From personal experience I know that it is very difficult not to get lost in this jungle or go down the road of feeling imperfect when scrolling though the perfectly arranged social media account of people with seemingly perfect lives and bodies.
To avoid this I realized that it is extremely important to take good care of yourself and your body in order to feel your best. This way it becomes so much easier to feel good about what you have and learn to rock your own definition of worth-while, exciting and beautiful. I personally know that this sometimes is way more easily said than done though. Key in not only those trying times, but always is to have the right products on your hands to help stand your grounds and feel good about what you´ve got.
Therefore I was extremely thrilled that I got the chance to test out these amazing Dr. Severin products of my choice. Dr. Severin is a german brand that is known for its very high quality. As I happen to have very delicate skin this is perfect for me. On top of that my skin is quite flawed so testing the Aequoreus Enzyme Sea Salt Peeling as well as the Blackhead Remover Peel-Off-Mask was a no brainer for me.
About the Brand
Dr. Severin developes and produces in Germany with all natural ingredients. All of their products are vegan and free of parabens, aluminium and alcohol. They produce high quality, strictly tested and customer proven skin care products for both women and men.

As an animal lover I am also very pleased to inform you that Dr. Severin works its laboratory tests without any animal testing. Furthermore they work hard to preserve the environment and reduce unnecessary pollution by engaging in a number of different projects.

Aequoreus Enzyme Sea Salt Peeling
Alright let´s dive into it - the Dr. Severin Aequoreus Enzyme Sea Salt Peeling is a cleansing and cooling body peeling. By combining sea salt and papaya enzymes it makes it your best friend after shaving to prevent common annoying side-effects such as ingrown hairs. The fine sea salt crystals from the Dead Sea gently cleanse your skin while at the same time the papaya enzymes stimulate and speed up your skins recovery.
I personally use the peeling not only after and before shaving, but regularly. It makes my legs super smooth and also helps with the slight discolorations on my legs from old shaving scars. On top of that I love the moisturizing finish it leaves behind - making the skin feel healthy, renewed and revitalized.
Unlike most other peelings this one isn´t fluid instead it has a more grainy consistency. At first I thought this to be unusual and weird as it makes the application a little more difficult. I tended to loose half of the product on the way to my leg in the beginning. Good news is I got the hang of it quickly and have grown to really like the consistency as it makes for a more efficient feel and rubs in niecly!
On top of all this the peeling comes with a rather strong, but nice tropical smell. The summery note becomes less intense once you have used the product. Still it leaves a very nice faint smell behind that lifts your spirits throughout the day.

Blackhead Remover Peel-Off-Mask
The Peel-Off Mask empowered with activated charcoal is ideal to give even gentle skin a nice deep cleansing. The mask consists out of a combination of dead sea mud and activated charcoal, it also features a subtle summery fragrance for a real feel-good experience.
Personally I was a bit scared of actually testing this one even though I had personally picked it. My only exprience with peel-off masks so far were viral internt videos during which people screamed in agony as they accidentally pulled half their eyebrows off as they removed selfmade charcoal masks. Luckily it wasn´t like that at all ( you might have been able to guess this one on your own ) and I was more than pleasantly surprised - that I can assure you!
Both the application (even though I made a bit of a mess in the bathroom) and the removal were very easy and super pleasant. The smooth texture guarantees a simple application. And removing the mask is not painful at all as it only requires subtle and slight pulling.
A hopefully helpfull sidenote for everyone struggeling with blemishes: Activated charcoal is one of the best ingredients to get rid of your blemishes. If your main goal is to archive an overall good feeling about your skin - this is for you.
Moving on with my face mask experience: I really loved how effective the treatment felt throughout the whole process. After using the product my facial skin looked glowing, fresh and radiant as by using the mask my skin was succesfully ridened of old skin, small hairs and any kinds of dirt left on my face. My face really did feel noticeably better and my complexion improved right away. Sadly the mask did not remove as many blackheads as i had anticipated it to. Therefore I would not recommend it to you if your main goal is pulling blackheads out. Still I do recommend it to improve the overall well-being of your facial skin. It was effective and left my face behind looking super fresh faced.

Here comes the last one of the " My 2017 in Photos " posts ! This time I tried not to get all philosophical and instead decided to write a little praise for this amazing time of year, but it didn´t quite work out so well.
While I always hate it when summer ends I also love it when the leaves change their colours and it gets colder. Not only because I can finally begin to wear cozy layering looks again... nope that is not the main reason ! Especially when I was a little kid the main reason I couldn´t wait for autumn to come around was because it meant my birthday was near. Back then waiting this one year was a painfully long period of time while now one year seems to fly by. Now it seems you blink and once you open your eyes again you are one year older. While I am still young enough to enjoy aging I often wish life would slow down and that I could press pause to simply live in the moment and enjoy all the opportunities life has to offer.
We live in such a fast paced world - we are always doing a million things at a time and are always online ! The Millenials grew up as digital natives ( including me ). Don´t get me wrong being more or less a natural around most technological gadgets is great nevertheless it also has its downside. We are constantly connected, dependent on technology and often feel a social media induced fear of missing out. The weirdest thing about this is that when scrolling through apps like instagram we´re normally more passive than active. Yet if we don´t do it we are afraid to miss out on someones snapchat or instagram story. The thing our generation often does not realize at all is that because we spend so much time living our lives online we are already missing out on something far more important : our ( real ) lives !
So go out there ... ENJOY ... live in the moment and seize it ! And maybe try missing out on your online life from time to time - I promise it´ll be worth it !!!
I love summer ... no matter if I am in the city or at the beach ! When the days are long and the nights are warm, but at some point the heat always bothers me. Well at least in the city when I am sitting in an overheated university building. During these times I really don´t feel like studying and have a hard time motivating myself, because honestly I would much rather sit by the pool with a cold drink in my hand.
The thing is I never really feared or dreaded the heat of summer as I live in Germany where it normally doesn´t stay too hot for too long. But this christmas holiday when my grandpa asked me what I thought the world would look like in 2100 I had a kind of apocaliptic vision of what our future might look like. To name a few I thought of melting icebergs, flooded islands, blazing fires that are almost impossible to tame and of unbearable summerheat. Normally I try to push these thoughts of what I think could become our reality some day back into the depth of my brain. So yes I shamefully must admit that I preferably try not to think these thoughts, because they scare me. While I in no way mean to induce fear into any of you, I am sorry to tell you that I don´t think I am making anything up. These visions are founded on the ground of solid analysations and studies of experts about the climat change.
Oh and by the ways I am in no way the first person in my family to start a blog ! Guess who got way ahead of me years ago ? My dear grandpa ! He started his blog after retirement and blogged about topics such as climat change or political catastophies...
I hope you are able to enjoy my pictures even though the text is rather serious, but I think it is important to blog and talk about more than just the easy breezy side of life !
I very recently had a chat with the american side of my family and was told to appreciate the seasons...which after some long and hard thinking I realized I didn´t do enough ! Yes our mostly rainy winters can certainly be nasty sometimes, but isn´t it amazing when the days get longer and you can feel the sun on your skin again ?
Therefore I can proudly say that while I love spring and am looking forward to it I also enjoy wintertime.
Here a little reminder to all of you, when looking at my pictures: We should cherish mother earth and its beauty - the recent raging of nature should have taught us that. I mean just think of the masses of rain that burst down onto beautiful Berlin this summer and turned it into a river more than once or the blazing wildfires in L.A. .
We need to protect this beauty at all costs !
I enjoy photography a great deal ! I always have and probably always will ! That feeling you get when you snaped a great shot ... it is sensational - I for one love it ! And I hope this hobby of mine which often brings me so much happiness can make some of you smile when you are looking at my photos.
