Sorry to everyone who expected hairy armpits. 💁

Sorry to everyone who expected hairy armpits. 💁‍♀️ This is about...
⁣
... I don't know actually. – Meditation? 😜🌿
⁣
I am just sitting here, trying to come up with some useful content about meditation, mindfulness, a balanced life and what not. You know what, it's actually hard to write about that kind of thing.
⁣
First of all, whenever I do write about this, I kind of feel like the biggest imposter on earth. Yes, I do meditate and I live a mindful life. But not like 100%. Not like all the time. I do watch videos while eating. – And I want to.
⁣
All the happy statements about enjoying yourself and getting some mindful me-time. I think, it works best for people who have a lack of me-time in the first place (I don't). Yes, I love being alone, but I am not a loner. And Munich is actually not such a great place to meet open-minded people; and in the pundemic it even got worse... Thus, I actually enjoy seeing some human faces on tiny screens at least, so what?
⁣
I said in a Story that I wanted my Instagram to be more authentic. So this is where we are going. Also trying not to be "in your face" authentic. Promise. You're safe. In no way is this account going to turn into a temple of body posititvity and zen. You're welcome to be an average self-doubting human here.
⁣
Anyway, I actually face a huge rud right now. → I can't find a time to meditate anymore. In the evening, I am so tired, I just fall asleep while meditating. In the morning, I want to get to work asap. I used to meditate on the bus to work, but now I work at home. I feel kinda lost. 😔 Really any tips are wamly welcome!

This zero waste swap is way better than I thought,

We should all go outside more often!
⁣
2020 should not become the year that will have made us all couch potatoes, don't you think?
⁣
I want to go outside more often. And although Munich's all-around nature is not super enticing, I will try to go to the park and "forest" (not a real forest, if a highway goes through it, no, it is not!) more often.
⁣
Are you coming outside with me?

COLLAB ·· Check out sustainaxenia's post 🌿 It's about "zero waste on-the-go"!

Sometimes zero waste and minimalism just don't go togehter... These are the handmade makeup remover pads I made last year. I didn't really need them but I had fabric leftovers, so I made some.
⁣
But I'm slowly moving towards extreme minimalism again, and for me these little things sometimes feel like a giant weight. E.g. before, I just used a "dirty old towel" to remove makeup. Super simple.
⁣
However, there are probably a lot of minimalists out there who don't even use makeup. But, as I said in my last post, I kind of don't want that for myself. I want my face to look better than what it looks like "naturally", and that's why I love makeup. Because it makes a tired face less tired, a scar less obvious or a pimple less red.
⁣
Anyway, sometimes my minimalist and zero waste ambitions are a bit in conflict. This is not necessarily a good example. But sewing in general is. For instance, sewing my own clothes probably makes them more sustainable: I know who made them, what they are made of and how well and long-lasting they will be. But for that, I also need a lot of equipment, and that is not minimal…
⁣
So, I often find those compromises and I try not to think about them too much. I try to not make it about labels or being extreme or not. And my question for you is: Do you even care? You, as my audience? Do you give a 🥳 about HOW minimalist I am?

This post is not about lavender.
⁣
It's about editing photos, authenticity and vulnerability on Instagram.
⁣
PHOTO EDITING
⁣
I never EVER don't edit my photos.
I never don't edit my face.
⁣
AUTHENTICITY?
⁣
I'm completely 100% NOT into having pictures of me in my "cute little online album" that look like I haven't slept. I know how I look when I haven't and that's good enough for me. There are plenty of other ways for me to be authentic than showing my pimples around. I just don't like it.
⁣
That doesn't mean that I don't think it's a good thing for other people to show this side of them. I am just not comfortable with it FOR MYSELF. I would not go to the office without makeup, so why would I preserve skin impurities in pictures on Instagram? I just don't see the point. It's like taking a full-frame picture with bad lighting of a dumpster. It might look exactly like that, but that's simply not what art & photography are to me. It's not depicting reality that interests me, it's communicating an emotion.
⁣
I'M AUTHENTIC ENOUGH BECAUSE...
⁣
I would never give you b*s about any eco brands, tips etc. Everything I publish here is tried & true information from my own experience.
⁣
The way I write is the way I think. If I'm pissed, I'm pissed. I'm never showing all of myself (who does? why would that be a good thing?) but I am showing you a spectrum of what my life looks like. My experience though is that negative and annoyed comments don't resonate with a lot of people.
⁣
I don't want to hide my privilege. I think it's important to acknowledge that I am very privileged by all means. I am from an upper middle-class family, I am living in one of the most expensive cities in Germany.
⁣
I also had a kid while still in uni and working at the same time. I'm on parental leave, working towards my thesis. I have two other degrees before the one I'm currently working on, and I want to grow YouTube etc. as a side business.
⁣
I share impressions from my life here, because I want to prove how much is possible even though you've got a lot on your plate already. Because I do, too. Anyway, here's some nice, not photoshopped but "gimped" lavender. ;-)
