A SEPTEMBER TO REMEMBER

Hello my lovelies!
I hope you all are doing well. Can't believe it's already September. But I like the cold more than the heat. And you can train better. However, sweating never goes away. But hey: Sweat now, shine later! Here are some useful tips and tricks to stay fit.

W O R K O U T 
Lately, I work out every day. It keeps me fit and make me stronger day by day. When you have not enough time for it, a few exercises per week are also sufficient. I do workouts like Squats (100 per day and 50 with dumbbells), many arms & shoulder workouts as well as full body exercises. You don't need any dumbbells but for me they're effective. Btw my favorite fitness youtuber is Blogilates! And of course, I don't forget the drawing passion.


F O O D 
Oatmeal, Greenery and homemade dishes are the Lifesavers. I love to cook and eat, especially healthy food. You don't have to diet when you eat healthy. The best way is to grab a bowl of cereal with oatmeal and almond milk for breakfast. Whole wheat bread with chia seeds is also very tasty and healthy at the same time. And you know what? I love spinach! Almost every day lol. A homemade smoothie with banana or any other fruit of your choice is good during the workout. I mostly like to drink smoothies with four fruits. The black tea is a must have in the indian tradition which gives me energy and fights tiredness. My cousin even drinks black tea when he has stomach ache. It helps him to reduce the pain. An alternative energy-booster is: Horlicks. Another important meal is rice with lentil curry (love!). A few days ago I baked some Fitness Cookies. (Recipe below)
Exception: I eat Fastfood only once a week. 



Recipe Fitness Cookies:
      • 1 Banana
      • 3 Eggs
      • 300g Quark 
      • 1t Baking Powder
      • 60g Wheat Wholemeal Flour
      • 180g Oatmeal
      • 1t Vanilla Extract 
      • 1t Honey
      • 1t Almond Jam
      • A hand full Cocoa Nibs
Mix everything together with a mixer, put them on a baking paper lined oven and bake at 180 Degrees for 15 - 20 minutes. VoilĂ ! 

Extra: Water with fresh lemon, lime or mint.

Let's talk about beauty. I've tried some natural beauty recipes:

1. Pimples
Honey, Salt, Baking Soda
2. Lip Scrub 
Cane Sugar, Olive Oil, Honey (Actually you can use only pure honey for your lips)
 3. Hair Mask
Honey, Coconut Oil (You can also add egg)
4. Face Mask
Turmeric, Honey, Milk
My favorites are the one for Pimples and the Face Mask. These recipes are worth it tho. For my hair I personally like to use argan oil after the shower or shampoos with olive oil or oat milk. Rose water is a good natural product too. 
Rosewater mixed with water in a spray bottle: The perfect face mist or makeup fixing spray! And the best toner? Saffron..

with pure Rosewater.

After the workout I like to wash with the new shower gel by Dove. It includes avocado oil which is good for our skin. For some natural makeup just use a bronzing powder, blush, a natural mascara and colour lip balm.


So, you're shine to go! What's your favorite workout routine?

THE HAND OF HAPPINESS





Inspo by..



Meaning:

Hello world!

The Hamsa Hand or the Hand of Fatima have become popular good luck symbols worldwide. The hand is best known for the power to protect the owner from the evil eye and bring happiness to the holder. It means that the holder of the hamsa will protect from all negative energies. Even I have a bracelet with fish eyes. Fish is a symbol of good luck too. As the fish lives in the water, it is completely immune to the powers of the evil eye. Maybe you've seen my bracelet in my last video.

Many bad things happening in the world right now. 'Bad' is not the right word. It's so scary and weird. Nothing's wrong with this world, something's is wrong with humans. I see Humans but no Humanity. Terrorism has no place in any religion. No religion commands violence and encourages ruthlessness, selfishness, lovelessness and massacre. These people are so heartless. That is some pure evil! Please be kind to everyone around you and treat them as you would yourself be treated.

#PrayForHumanity

Hope you all enjoyed this post & Happy Mubarak to all who celebrate! <3

With lots of love,
Umanya
