Take care of your pet!

Hey guys,

today I want to blog about something really serious. 

I just watched some TV and there was a report about how people abandon their animals just because they want to go on vacation. I need to talk about this now because most of the people on vacation right now because it's summer.

 Sure, going to another country is amazing, especially in summer. But if you have a pet you have a reponsibility. It was your decision to get the pet so it's your job to take care of it. 

I can probably blog about my own experience. 2007 I got my horse and ever since that day I did not go on vacation. Sure, I've been in Berlin, Paris and London over the years but I went there with school. When I was gone my Mom took care of my horse, but we never left her completely alone. 

But having a pet does not mean you're not able to go away for a week or two. You can find friends that already know your pet and like it and ask them to take care of them while you're gone. Or maybe there is some kind of pet hotel in your city, so bring your pet there. 

But never ever abandon it! 

Can you imagine what your pet would think if you abandon it somewhere? It will think things like: Where is he/she going? Why does he/she leave me alone? Aren't we friends anymore? 

How would you feel if your best friend would leave you alone? Animals can't take care of themselves, they need you. 

Please spread the word about this serious theme and stop people from abandoning their pet. 

Thank you. 

x Vanessa.

Time for an update.

Hey guys,

sorry it's been a week without blogging! But I've been super super busy so there was no time to do that. My facebook friends actually know why ;)

I have actually a few ideas for blogpost which will be uploaded very soon. But I'd be very happy if you would suggest something to blog about. This week will be a very busy one too because of all the rehearsels for prom ... But I'll try my best to keep up with my house in the sand. 

The upcoming blogposts will hopefully be up soon and hopefully entertain you. 

Again, sorry for the break ;)

Quick Tip.

Hey guys,

today I want to introduce you a website I just discovered. 

It's a website where you can transform you picture to polaroids. You can just the color-effect that you want and also write a little message (with up to 20 letters) on it. 

I really love the polaroid effect and am super happy that I found a website which helps me to create beautiful polaroids. 

I definitely recommend visiting the website. Just click here.

Here are some pictures I created:

Hopefully this little tip helped you ;)

Let's be random. Very random.

Hey guys,

I was sitting in front of my laptop for about 10 minutes not knowing what to blog about. Honestly I still don't have a clue. So this will be a very random blogpost where I just throw out to you whatever comes to my mind.

Let's go:

- I'm addicted to pinterest.com right now. It's great to find inspiration. :)

- Organizing a birthday party is the hardest but also most wonderful thing to do.

- I wish I knew the chords for "Canary In The Coalmine". Let's hope Jim can send me the chords.

- I love the new Maroon 5 album "overexposed". My favorite song is probably "One More Night".

- 3,36€ are left of my iTunes gift card... don't know what to buy. Suggestions?

- It's raining right now. I'm on my couch. That's cozy.

- Tomorrow is Monday. I don't care because I just gratuated an now have 9 weeks off.

- My cat sleeps in the weirdest positions.

- I have dance rehearse tomorrow but don't know any of the moves yet ..

- Right now I'm jamming to "give your heart a break" by Demi Lovato. Thanks god no one sees my awkward headshake moves..

Ok.. that's it. I ran out of randomness. I hope you don't mind ;)

I promise the next blogpost will be a little more organized. :)

Cativersary.

Hey guys,

today is a special day: one year I got my cat Melody. : )

I am sooo in love with my little darling and it feels so amazing to know she's been here for a year now. When I got her she was 6 weeks old, so it's been a blessing to watch her grow. 

She did not only grow big, but to she also grew to a beautiful cat. : ) I love it when people see her and go all like "whoa - such a beautiful cat." Yes, I'm a proud mama. :D

The really cool thing is that she also loves my dog. They're somehow like an old couple. 

To show you how much she changed in this year I will post a picture from the very first day I got her (which was one year ago) and a picture from today. 

June 27th 2011

June 27th 2012

Happy first anniversary,  Melody! : )

7 things for 7 days.

Hey guys,

I decided to join the "7 things for 7 days" project by Louise. 

It works like this: you set yourself 7 aims you want to achieve - it can be breaking some odds or anything else. Actually it's like a to-do list. The cool side effect is that it helps you to get motivated again because you blog about it. And I think it would be amazing if you can first blog about your aims and then after a week, or two, or even a month you can come back and tell all your readers "guys, I did everything I wanted". Doesn't that sound good to you? 

Well, to me it sounds awesome and that's why I will join.

I'm not sure if I want to achieve those things within a week, but maybe in at least a month. : )

Here are my aims:

1.) Drink more water.

(I know that's actually no biggie, but I just need to drink more water because my skin and body need that.)

2.) Throw an amazing birthday party which everyone will talk about even years later. 

(yes, that's actually a biggie, but the chances I will do that are SUPER high.)

3.) Gett into songwriting again.

(I really did not have enough time the last few months to work on my music and I want to change that.)

4.) Inspire people.

(This is an aim that I not only set myself for the next few weeks, but for my whole life.)

5.) Start my work out again.

(I did work out a while ago and felt so good doing that but somehow time and laziness haunted me again and caught me.)

6.) Tell people what's on my mind.

7.) Create new projects/ideas.

(I want to get creative again and find new things to do.)

I'm very excited to see if I can do everything on my list but let's be optimistic. ;)

You can join this project, just check out the link up there. ; )

Smile. :)

Hey guys,

right now the weather in Germany (at least where I live) isn't that nice. The sky is grey and it's kind of depressing. But days like this don't get my mood down or anything, but I admit that I look out for funny things more than on sunny days. You probably wonder what kind of funny things I look out for.. well, funny things done by people I like. 

Today I feel like sharing something funny I just came across again. This video totally makes me laugh whenever I watch it. Yeah, probably because I like the guys in the video, but I'm pretty sure that you will laugh too.

So give it a chance and smiiiiiile. 

Alright, 

have you watched the video? If Martin and James made you smile, why don't you make them smile?
Go to their Facebook page and maybe we will get a 20,000 likes video soon.

Tagged.

Hey guys,

I got tagged by my good friend Jana whose blog is amazing. Go and visit it here: http://pinguheart.blogspot.de/ 

The tag is about a topic the person that tags you decides. Jana decided to let all the people she tagged blog about "music". 

I feel so happy about that because as you all know - I love music. Oh and you have to write down 8 points about the topic.

1.) Music is my escape. Whenever I'm down I run into music. Hearing a few songs definitely gets my mood up. 

2.) I write my own music, play the guitar and some tiny bits of piano. Making music is more than just a hobby. For me it's a passion. A passion I never want to stop. Singing my heart out and jamming with the guitar is definitely what makes me happy.

3.) Little random music fact about me: I wrote my first song when I was 11 and it was about a horse. :D

4.) When I listen to song I mostly listen to the lyrics. If the lyrics don't get me, I won't like the song. I guess that's a songwriter syndrom...

5.) In my opinion hearing songs live at a concert is one million times better than just hearing it on your iPod. I have seen the Jonas Brothers, Selena Gomez, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Jim Kroft, Rooney (twice) and Martin and James (4 times) yet. 

6.) I would love to see Demi Lovato, Carrie Underwood, John Mayer, We The Kings, Maroon 5, Katy Perry and Paramore live. Maybe I can do that. People - come to Germany. 

7.) I am about to graduate from high school. After that I will go to a language school and after that I'm going to study music journalism. So one day I will write reviews about albums, concerts and singers and maybe interview my favorite musicians.

8.) Thanks to music I met wonderful people from all over the world. I'm just fascinated how a fan base can become a family. So to all the people I have met through music - feel hugged. You became super important and I wish we all could to one big meeting. :) <3

So, here are a few rules:

-write down who tagged you and set a link to their blog

-write down 8 things concerning the topic you got

-tag 10 more people

-tell the tagged people that you tagged them

-think of a topic for the tagged people to write about

Here are the people I want to tag:

http://blogdirtysecret.blogspot.de/

http://one-waystreetoflife.blogspot.de/

http://memories-dont-fade-away.blogspot.de/

http://onlyonewayforward.blogspot.de/

Alright, that's all of the blog I know.. :( to everyone who is

reading this - feel tagged! I want you to blog about this. ;)

Sooo my topic is (guess whaaat?) - inspiration.

Yes, just write down whatever comes to your mind.

I can't wait to read your answers. :) <3

The Jonas Brothers.

Hey guys,

today I want to blog about the guys that made me start writing music, the Jonas Brothers. : ) 

2007 my obsession for those guys started. I remember exactly how I fell for them: I was watching Hannah Montana (I was only 10 back then, ok? :D) and they were featured in one episode. Since that day I am a Jonashead. A proud Jonashead. 

It's been a long time so I actually grew up with them and I really can say that watching their career and watching them growing up was and still is a blessing. Their songs mean so much to me, they have saved me so many times. Watching their silly videos on Youtube - like this one. - always made my day. And yeeeeah, Joe is my favorite. I love Kevin and Nick, too! : )

I still remember how nervous and happy I was when I saw them live in concert November 15th 2009 in Cologne. There were 3500 other Jonasfans and the athmosphere was just great.

Those boys are the reason why I picked up a guitar and started to write music. I am so thankful that I got to know them. 

I even have my favorite lyrics ever engraved on my iPod. It's from "Take A Breath" - "people change and promises are broken". 

One day I will meet them and thank them for everything! I know I will.  : ) 

Until then,

stay plobnrg. ; )

x - Vanessa.
