My Easter in South Tyrol was very beautiful, but as always much too short. This year was super relaxed. The weather was fantastic and I spent most of the time at home in the sun. After a nice Easter Sunday with the family I met Bastian for breakfast in Kaltern in Überetsch. We wanted to visit our friend in The Wanda | 12 suites & breakfast for so long. Said done.
DAS WANDA – BREAKFAST ON THE SUN RACE not only for house guests
The breakfast trend has also spread to South Tyrol for a few years now. I can only understand it too well, because what could be better than having breakfast or a brunch outdoors 350 sunny days a year?
The Wanda offers a fix breakfastmenu which consist of an étagère with yoghurt and muesli, cheese and meat cold cuts, as well as fresh fruit. Fresh egg dishes and a Kaiserschmarren are a must and included in the breakfast set. Freshly squeezed juice and coffee are also included.
The breakfast can be ordered after registration for 28€ including a hot drink and a glass of Prosecco.
“How would I describe it…
a bit like at home with mom, but it also has something of the gourmet menu in your favourite restaurant…
For a change, breakfast begins at your table, no crowds at the morning buffet, no back of chairs – take a seat, be served and enjoy…”
We spent a few hours in the sun. The Design Bed & Breakfast The Wanda opens the sun terrace from 11:00 o’clock also for external guests. An aperitif at 17:00 – 18:00 is highly recommended.
On this occasion we also had a look at the rooms of the Designhotel…

One of the highlights of the house is the spa area with a view of the surrounding wineries. Oh, I understand all too well why South Tyrol attracts so many holidaymakers.

A fast late hour outfit post today. The days are just passing me by. At the moment I usually come home around 19-20:00 o’clock. Afterwards I lack the energy and the desire to sit at the computer again. But this will pass soon, if I have found back in my used routine. There’s just the sport thing that I put on ice for the first time in the last two months.
Today I show you a casual spring look with this beautiful lace blouse combined with different dark green tones. The past weeks it was always so warm in Berlin that a leather jacket was completely sufficient. I’m already looking forward to the warm days again, after the crazy April is over again. Oh yes – next week is already Easter! Insanity… With that the fasting time would be over and my #40TagePlastikFasten – Challenge. A final feedback will follow. Enjoy your evening!

“Skin recovery” was sorely needed! The other day I told you about my not working day care. I then got the hint from one of my friends (my trusted beauty expert) that I was using quite a potpourri of ingredients. In addition, many products contained perfumes again, which I tolerate very poorly anyway. This should change with the care of Paula’s Choice. The products I have you some time ago already shown on Instagram.
In today’s article, I’ll not only tell you about my new skincare routine, but also about how fruit acid peels work, as well as the difference between a synthetic and mineral UV filter. A little more beauty knowledge never hurts!
Truth in Beauty –PAULA’S CHOICE
Paula’s Choice was founded in 1994 by Paula Begoun. She was particularly suffering from acne and eczema, but her skin care products were only exacerbating her concern. As a result, she began to question the ingredients in her skincare products. She began to take a hard look at the ingredients.
With horror, she found out that she was regularly applying dangerous ingredients, such as acetone (!!) , for example.
Paula Begoun learned which ingredients have which effects. She worked in the cosmetics department of a department store. There she caused a stir by refusing to sell in her eyes ineffective anti-aging products. Her honesty went to the press. She went on to appear in over 20 best-selling books, make public appearances and more. After ten years, she launched her own beauty line, Paula’s Choice.
For the right choice of care lines, there is online the “Routine Finder” or you can get personal advice on this by phone. I took advantage of the latter. After a very informative conversation, the Skin Recovery – line from Paula’s Choice were recommended according to my skin type.
My new skin care routine
. I basically never use cleansing products in the morning and did not deviate from this routine even with the new products. Thus, my day currently starts only with the and subsequently the Skin Recovery Day Cream SPF 30 (34€ / 60ml).
Personally, it was very important to me to finally use a day care with sun protection factor (preferably not only UV-A, but also UV-B). My skin is super prone to redness and sun exposure anyway. I’ve been very happy with the SPF 30 day care from Paula’s Choice.
Did you know that sun protection factors are differentiated between a mineral or synthetic UV filter?
.
The Skin Recovery Day Care contains natural mineral solar filters Titanium Dioxide. These act like small mirrors that reflect UV radiation, making the filter effective immediately. This is particularly beneficial for sensitive skin.
Synthetic UV filters, such as Homosalate or Avobenzone, absorb the UV radiation in the skin. They work best when left on for at least 20 minutes.
.
I kept coming across fruit acid peels on Instagram and honestly had no idea how they worked. There are two types of fruit acid peels:
alpha hydroxy acid (AHA for short).
and
beta-hydroxy acid (BHA for short)
.
AHA peels and BHA peels cleanse the sebaceous pores from the inside. They also remove dead skin cells and renew the skin surface. All of this results in a more refined facial appearance.
The consistency of the Skin Perfecting AHA Gel Peel is a very light gel. When applied, it absorbs quickly into the skin and does not leave a sticky feeling. The gel scrub is left to work on the skin and is not washed off afterwards. I had also heard that fruit acid peels can react differently on the skin. I had no initial problems with the application. However, the gel should not be applied to the eye area. Out of reflex, like applying a serum, I applied it to the eye area anyway. Result: yes it burns, but also goes away again. As is well known, one learns from mistakes. In the initial phase I applied the AHA gelonly 1x evening, meanwhile I apply it 2x daily on.
Overall, I am super satisfied with the Skin Recovery line from Paula’s Choice and tolerate the products very well. In the current care I currently only miss a serum that still provides ultimate moisture.
The products are free of skin-irritating fragrances and therefore have a slight inherent odor, which fortunately dissipates after a few minutes. Previously, I had used very strongly perfumed products, so I had to get used to. Otherwise, I currently have nothing to complain about and will soon order the matching serum to go with it.
Juliet Rose Bar & Restaurant – There has been quite a bit happening in Munich over the past few months. During my last visit I managed to test a lot of new restaurants. Some of them are still on the list, which I will check next time.
At the end of my restaurant visits (after Wabi Sabi Shibui, Mozzamo and Lilli P) I met for breakfast with my oldest blogger friends Irina, Conny and Phil in the new Juliet Rose Bar in the City Hilton in Haidhausen.
Restaurant in Berlin Juliet Rose Bar & Restaurant
The term “hotel bar” is a hair-raiser for one or the other, because one always associates it with exaggeratedly expensive cocktails and club sandwiches that are written in the room. Not so in the Juliet Rose Bar, which is anything but “just” a hotel bar and presents itself with elegant and high-quality restaurant architecture.
Juliet Rose Bar & Restaurant FOOD & DRINKS: “Etashare”
What many still don’t know is that the Juliet Rose Bar & Restaurant has a very tasty breakfast menu. I can’t even hear the word “caring is sharing” and “we just put everything in the middle” anymore. Etashare – the derivation from the French “Etagere” and “Share” is very successful. At the weekend Juliet Rose brings back the classic breakfast Etagerees.
For 19€ you can choose from different categories, “Butter & Spreads”, “Sweets & Honey”, “Organic eggs & add-ons” and many more to create your own “Etashare”. The staff pointed out to us very honestly and courteously that one etashare was perfectly sufficient for two people. So it was. We ordered a colorful mix of four and were very happy with the choice.
I found our visit to the Juliet Rose Bar very pleasant. The bar was well frequented, but not crowded. However, we had to wait relatively long for our etashares, which in my opinion don’t need so much preparation time. But all in all I think the location is super nice. The Juliet Rose is lovingly furnished and I like to come in the evening for a drink, because these should be especially good here.

It’s my first week at the new work. YAY! So excited to have started this new chapter and definitely made the right decision. Right now I’m trying to figure out how to balance work and life. I’ll be back tomorrow with my weekly restaurant recommendation. Have an amazing day!
