Hello dear readers!

This is a quick update to share my twitter account for this blog with you. The follow button is located on the right, just under the bloglovin' widgets. I used one of my two accounts which are usually made to be private ones, but it would be definitely helpful to share my posts on a public twitter so you can stay up to date without subscribing to an e-mail service. If you would like to be followed back, just tweet me! I look forward to any new follower I gain from here. Thank you very much and have a pleasant day!

Give Your Food a Hug!

ADVERTISEMENT/WERBUNG

Do you know the struggle of cutting a lemon or cucumber in half and then you forget about it in the fridge? You find it a week later rotting away, maybe even being covered in mold. If you identify with this story I would love to show you how to avoid this! I introduce to you a green and reusable way to keep fruits and vegetables fresh, plus diminish the amount of food waste overall - keep reading!

Two years ago I was in the exact same situation - my avocados and limes were going bad because I did not want to use cling wrap (plus, avocado toast was not a daily treat for me!). Back then I was already eco-conscious and hated to produce waste. I only had a little bit of space in the refrigerator, so putting my fruits and veggies in bowls or on plates was not possible. Eventually I decided to search the web for solutions to save food from getting spoiled. Let me tell you, I hit pay dirt! The most beautiful and handy tools were: Food Huggers!

My FoodHuggers - a pack of four round green universal and two green avocado huggers.

50 (Random) Facts About Me - 2018 Version

Greetings, dear readers!

Thank you so much for 116 000 views! I apprechiate every single one, as it helps me to grow bigger.

It has been quite a while now since I shared recent information about me on here. Especially considering that I unpublished around 93% of my posts you may not know me well, yet. I would like to introduce myself - again - with 50 personal facts you may need to be aware of. I am sure there are people reading this who still know the 2013 me, and I wish those and all the new readers out there a fun and interesting time going through the facts and figures which define me in 2018. If you would like to know what represented me in 2013, please visit 50 (Random) Facts About Me!

My female cat Boopy on the left and my male cat Puzzles on the right.

1. I was born in Poland, but moved to Baden-Württemberg/Germany at the age of three.
2. Currently I am living in Bavaria/Germany.
3. I am very proud of being born on Earth Day.
4. Eco-consciousness is a big part of my life, including the zero waste lifestyle.
5. Zero waste is something I definitely want to achieve, but I am far from perfect. It is a gradual transition and you have to dedicate a lot of time and attention to actually change your lifestyle.
6. I have quite a huge amount of relatives with four of them being my siblings. One is my beloved twin sister KayKay. I adore her.
7. Another person I really love and care about is my boyfriend. I am taken for almost three and a half years now, hoping for our relationship to last forever.
8. I had to discontinue my studies because of financial issues.
9. My mobile is still always on silent and I barely read messages or respond to them. [sorry]
10. I have two rather private twitter accounts.
11. Instagram famous? I wish! No, but really, the majority of my followers are inactive, so yeah, I am far from famous. 
12. Mental illnesses I have to struggle with are depression, emotionally unstable personality disorder/borderline personality disorder and stress which led to binge eating and obesity. It is intensely complex and a cycle I still cannot step out of.
13. My sleeping pattern is also very distorted, so I need to take sedatives.
14. Psychosomatic pain really bothers me in daily life, but I don't want to take pain relievers. Meh.
15. Black cats are fascinating. That is probably the reason why I have two of them. The female one is one and a half years old and the elder, male ball of fur is three years old now. I added pictures of them at the top of my post.
16. My ideapad S206 by Lenovo is still working and I am just using it as I am writing this.
17. I am planning to start a career in media or science.
18. There are two human beings out there who I call my best and only friends. Both are female. Love you, Jess and Tamara!
19. Living on one's own is the worst. At least for me. I am pretty unable to be alone. Running an apartment by myself is so much work I just cannot do on my own - I do not want to think about the financial stress that is put upon me constantly.
20. I dislike my body and how I look after gaining half of my original weight within last year.
21. New year - new me? No, not for me. I will not change just because a new year started.
22. Actually I am a person who dwells on the past. I hate changes, which I always try to avoid, so even turning older makes me feel awful.
23. Speaking of feeling awful, my mental state is in a bad condition. But I sure try to find positive things in life.
24. I am a very logical, rational, radical thinker, open-minded and liberal. And friendly.
25. You probably would not speak to me in person because it is quite rare that I interact in social ways. I am an introvert, a very extreme one.
26. Conversely, sharing emotions and thoughts online is like therapy to me. As long as I do not see my audience in person it is fine, I guess, though you are still welcome to reach out to me.
27. I have been to a System Of A Down concert in June 2017. I was there on my own - which was a huge step for me - and I was able to meet John and Shavo backstage. I have never felt better. Honestly. I yearn to meet the rest of the band, too. Hopefully.
28. This year I am going to see Fall Out Boy, thanks to my amazing twin sister KayKay!
29. There is also the possibility that I might see Lana Del Rey with my best friend Jess. Fingers crossed!
30. I feel old.
31. Sims 3 is life. If there is anybody willing to send me stuff or a friend request, here is my account.
32. Creativity is one of my rare talents. Honestly, I have depicted so many paintings in the last few months that I could start selling them.
33. Money is a big, negative issue for me. I am struggling with financial problems which make my life so much worse. I am in debt and will most likely stay there for the next years.
34. Reading books is my only real hobby, so keeping this blog should help me with doing something useful throughout the day.
35. I use menstrual cups, cloth pads, reusable steel straws and other utensils to avoid disposables and waste.
36. Tamsin from EcoFluffyMama is the sweetest blogger I got to know. She was the one who made me try out menstrual cups for the first time - I won a giveaway hosted by her. Head over to her blog, she has got some great articles worth to read!
37. I can be a little bitch sometimes - please forgive me, Korin!
38. Oranges and ice cream are my all time favorite foods.
39. Derealization is inhibiting my daily life every now and then.
40. I smoke, but it happens so rarely that I do not consider myself a smoker.
41. Meanwhile I got pierced a few times. Lower lip, nostril and several ear lobe piercings were added to my collection.
42. I was able to make my dream of colorful hair come true. I am lavender-haired right now, though I need to bleach my roots again, so I might wear a blue head of hair, soon.
43. Socializing is pointless and stressful, in my opinion.
44. You cannot consider me a vegetarian or vegan, but I barely eat meat, although I consume milk, eggs and cheese twice to thrice a week.
45. Whenever I go grocery shopping I buy organic and/or minimal waste. I avoid big companies like Coca-Cola, Nestlé, Johnson&Johnson, Unilever, P&G, Pepsico, Mars, etc. with all their subsidiaries.
46. I wanted to live in a historically important era, but having the right-wing scene gain popularity was not exactly what I wanted to experience.
47. I am pretty interested in web design and I might do that as a job. Media and marketing are fields I can see myself working on for a long time. Those combine information technology and creativity.
48. On the other hand I would love to study in the science sector - physics, astronomy, chemistry, biology and of course mathmatics.
49. This took me half a night. I am not so creative when it comes to my person. Still, I hope you enjoyed this!
50. I wish my blog becomes somewhat near popular. This is actually a really big wish. Maybe I can succeed this time.

Last Friday Night - Jan 5th, 2018

Hi whoever just reads this!

Nice to meet you, kind of. To those who know my blog from the past years, you may still remember my Last Friday Nights! To the new readers out there, here is a quick explanation: I like to post a list of things I did on my last Friday night every now and then. The list is basically always the same, there are specific topics I give an answer to, very diverse, and they sort of describe my Friday evenings.

January 5th was the last day of my Christmas/New Year vacation [by the way, have a successful, peaceful and pleasant New Year 2018!] - except from the weekend afterwards - so I was able to spend my day however I wanted to. My dearest best friend Jess was so generous to ask me out on a date and we did indeed meet that evening. That may be recognizable in my following answers. Enjoy the read!

Seen: This time I did not see any movies, but my perfect friend Jess [better than any movie!]. It is impossible for one not to admire her splendid air and miscellaneous virtuosity. I have to admit, I adore how she expresses herself and her feelings just as much as her appearance.

Read: My blog actually. I had to decide which posts I am going to keep online because some of them are okay for me to uphold.

Heard: Miley Cyrus' new album Younger Now. You have to be honest, she did mature a lot, remembering her MTV VMA performance with Robin Thicke in 2013. Actually, there are more artists who left their craziness, kind of infantile immaturity and got out a great album in 2017! I might blog about those grown up musicians, probably reviewing some of my recent favorite LPs.

Done: As I mentioned earlier, I was out with Jess. We spent almost six hours together at our local McDonald's - I'm not very proud of choosing a fast food restaurant, but it's our usual spot to meet and apart from that, I barely eat out at fast food places.

Drank: Hot milk chocolate. Plus a few sips of my friend's coke.

Thought: Actually, throughout half of the date with Jess I had to think about the complicated, but educational years I spent at school, until eventually graduating. Since then my life kind of went downhill. School was on of the constant, absolute anchors I lost in 2014. Honestly, I yearn to go back and enjoy my life once again.

Wished: Whenever I am around Jess I strongly wish to just look half as good as her. She is perfect, really.

Annoyed by: My life, obviously. It is tiring to see others handle their life way better than I do.

Excited by: Jess. No explanation needed.

Clicked: While being with friends - it does not happen often at all - I try to stay offline. And since I was out for almost six hours there was simply no time to go on blogs or instagram, the internet overall. And let me tell you, I appreciated being offline for a while.

Now chances are very high that you precisely know how my last Friday night was like AND that I truly love my best friend. Do you also have a sweetheart to call your friend who is always able to make you feel better? Text or call to tell them how important they are to you!

Welcome to Fan.tasti.que' in 2018!

Hey everyone, have a successful 2018 and welcome to my blog!

You may have noticed big changes here. I recently decided to start all over with my blog - at 115k views.

I have not been updating it for quite a while now, plus I was a bit unsatisfied. I mean, all the posts I wrote in the last few years do not represent me properly anymore. My personality did change a bit, especially when it comes to personal health, the environment and my interests. Yet, I kept some of my old posts which are kind of crucial and important to me and this blog, but from now on stay tuned and have fun discovering a not so different girl!

The last three years were a burden to me in so many ways. I still have not decided which career to choose, I have financial and health problems, I am living on my own with two adorable cats which are hard work for real and I honestly miss my deep relationship with my boyfriend. Do not get me wrong, we are still a couple, but I had to move out and get myself an apartment. Now it is just that I do not see my boyfriend that much anymore. That is a serious issue, especially for me - thanks to my several mental illnesses.

Yes, I was diagnosed with a few of them in the last two years, after struggling for a decade. My mental and physical health were not important in my teenage years, so I had to cope with my mind on my own. But now I am seeing a psychiatrist regularly and I am on medication. I would not say I feel better but some days the pills are able to numb my feelings a bit. If you have any questions about (my) mental illnesses - feel free to contact me. I am actually a nice person and, even though I dislike people in person, I do not mind talking to others online. Just be aware that sometimes I just will not reply for five months straight.

So - regarding my blog - I am going to get personal. You will read about my interests, products I like and dislike, people, blogs, companies and organizations I want to share with you, tips on life in general, and whatever comes to my mind. You can further follow me on instagram (@greenmindedgirl) where I post different photos every now and then. Also feel free to add me and my blog on bloglovin'! I also have some twitter and tumblr accounts, but I would like to keep those private.

That is actually everything for now. I look forward to many more views, new readers and keep in mind - my inboxes are always open for you!
