What planner(s) do you use??

Hi! I am currently figuring out what I would like to use in the future. My summer break just started and I’ll use the time to try different things as I still don’t know what suits me best. I ordered some dotted A5 paper for my Filofax, and I will probably use my Filofax as a bullet journal as I can take out all the pages and re-organise them whenever, I can’t do it in a normal notebook :-) I always use my digital calendars, on both my iPhone and my MacBook. I use the standard app on iOS. I wouldn’t survive without it.Also, I do have a planner for my desk which never leaves my desk.Lastly, I use @emmastudies‘ monthly planners. I print one at the end of every month to plan the new month. This gives me a great overview.

RECIPE: BREAKFAST BOWL

Many of you have been asking me on Instagram what I put in my breakfast bowls and how I make them, so here’s the recipe (it doesn’t feel like a recipe, but still). This is one of the easiest and cheapest breakfasts, and it also keeps you full for a few hours (of course depending on the size of your bowl).

First off, you can put whatever in your breakfast bowl. The main ingredients are the following:

  • natural yogurt (lactose-free for me!)
  • oats

Only yogurt and oats would be boring in my opinion, so I like to add some fruits, nuts, seeds, and chocolate.

For the bowl in the pictures, I used:

  • a banana (this is a good way for using some overripe bananas!)
  • dark chocolate (85% cocoa)
  • walnuts
  • a seed-mix (chia seeds, buckwheat, aronia)*
  • some cinnamon
  • some coconut flakes

You just mix all ingredients, and that’s it. As soon as you have mixed everything, it will not look as pretty as on the pictures, so don’t worry about it. It is supposed to be eaten anyway, and it tastes good. That’s what’s most important. You can of course use other berries and fruits. For instance, I love strawberries! During autumn, I also prefer apples and a lot of cinnamon.

As mentioned before, you can add whatever you like. Try out some different bowls and get ready for the day with your preferences. Let me know if you tried out a yogurt bowl and tell me what you added into it :-)

* Notes: I used the following seed mix: Alnavit Alleskönner Bio Topping (no advertising). Office supplies used for the pictures: Muji, MT Masking Tape (no advertising). The book on the pictures is by Dafolo Forlag (PR-sample).

Do you like to read? What is your favorite genre? Do you like fantasy?

As a lingo-nerd, I do love reading! Unfortunately, I barely find the time for it, but I hope to read some good books this summer. I just can’t enjoy books when I know I have plenty of other stuff to do...I am not a fan of fantasy. People always tell me it’s the best genre to get lost and “escape from reality”, but I think I’m a person who likes stories from real life (our could be real!). I love stories that touch me and go deep. I also do like plots with philosophical backgrounds, or even just literature about philosophy and life. I love stuff that expires my own perspectives and makes me think about life and the choices we make :-)And as a language teacher, I also do love classic literature - Shakespeare, Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, George Orwell. Same for Danish and German authors :-)

Hey! I really like your blog! I was wondering, when are you doing the personalized folder icons tutorials? :)

Hi! Thank you for your request.I know I promised to make the tutorial some time ago, and I do have the video saved on iMovie. I just need to do the voice over and I guess I’ve been both too busy and lazy lately. It will follow in the next couple of weeks, big promise! :-) Thank you for your patience, I hope you are going to like it. Stay updated both here and on Instagram so you won’t miss out on it xx

My summer break just started some days ago, and it gives me some time to actually work on this blog.

If you have any ideas or requests, just let me know. You can leave a message here on Tumblr, or on Instagram.

Thank you for your patience. I hope you look forward to some new posts!

No more printables and calendars? Why?

Hey - thanks for your interest and request! xFirst, I think there are many great printables online from other bloggers already (I can highly recoommend you to look at emmastudies’ printables). Second, I just can’t find the time for it. That’s basically it. People already suggested me to make my printables paid, but this still doesn’t give me the time to make them.I’m studying, substituting, and I do have a social life as well. I love to share my daily student life with you, and I try to do small tutorials and tips, but unfortunately, I will only do printables and stuff if I feel that something’s missing. I hope you understand!! :) xx

Hello! I was born and raised in Germany, with a big influence of “danishness” as I live right at the border and my family is half Danish. :)Thanks for the lovely words!

Can you please give some advices to people who want to learn german?

First advice: don’t. I’m kidding. Depending on where you are from, it can be really difficult to learn German. I don’t say this to demotivate you, but I’ve heard it from so many people. Of course, you can learn German, but unfortunately - since I’m German myself - I have no idea how to learn it as a foreign language.After summer, I’ll start my courses in German as a foreign language-teaching, and I might give you some better advice then.Anyhow, the best advice for foreign language learning is to keep going! Try to practice the four main skills - reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Start out as simple as possible and go on from there.I hope it was helpful!

Dear everyone, Christmas is just around the corner, and I just wanted to wish you the happiest holidays! Whether you’re celebrating Christmas or not, I hope love will be all around you. Actually, I don’t mean to write more than that; have yourself some wonderful days with the ones you love. If you are spending the days alone, remember to take care of yourself and enjoy every second as well. If you’re not feeling good lately, remember it is okay that you feel the way you feel. Just because it is Christmas, you don’t have to act as if everything is alright. But please remember that better times are ahead of you - and maybe 2018 will be your year?! Lots of love and hugs from me. Remember to spread the love and jolly vibes. There are people out there who need it. Keep those in mind who maybe aren’t as lucky as you are. And if you still feel unlucky, I hope everything will turn out good in the end. I am sure that, eventually, it will. Merry Christmas! /Sonja

Of course I do know Turkey! My dad just was on vacation in Turkey with two of his sisters (I still had uni, which is why I couldn’t go with them).I am studying to become a teacher, but beside my studies, I do work as a substitute teacher at a small school nearby :)
