#StarbucksBloggersAndYou

After about a month I'm back, but more on that in my next post! Today I will tell you about an exciting event I attended two weeks ago! By the way: this post is written in english AND german.

Let me first introduce Michelle Danzinger to you. She's a Youtuber & Blogger and also lives in Austria. I absolutely enjoy watching her videos also because I really like the editing. I can totally recommend her Videos (to english speaking people as well)! So when I saw that she has a Meet up at #StarbucksBloggersAndYou I didn't hesitate long before I decided to apply - and I won!

Lasst mich euch zuerst Michelle Danzinger vorstellen. Sie ist eine Youtuberin & Bloggerin. Ich sehe mir ihre Videos total gerne an, auch weil mir besonders gut gefällt, wie sie ihre Videos bearbeitet. Ich empfehle ihre Videos auch gerne an meine überwiegend englischsprachigen Leser! Als ich sah, dass man sie bei #StarbucksBloggersAndYou treffen konnte, habe ich nicht zu lange gewartet und bewarb mich - und gewann!

The Meet up obviously took place at Starbucks which was great because we were constantly offered different kinds of coffee to try. We had such a nice chat with Michelle, I'm really glad I met her and had the chance to get to know her a little bit better. Click here or "Michelle Danzinger" in this Blogpost to view and hopefully subscribe her channel! :) And don't forget to check out her Blog as well: click here to view it.

Das Treffen fand natürlich im Starbucks statt, was toll war, weil einem die ganze Zeit verschiedene Kaffees zum Kosten angeboten wurden. Wir hatten ein echt nettes Gespräch mit Michelle und ich freue mich, dass ich sie getroffen hatte und die Möglichkeit hatte sie etwas besser kennen zu lernen.

Apart from Michelle a few other austrian youtubers attended this event for example Michael Buchinger and Kim Lianne. We also took photos and I asked them to say something to my camera for a little video I put together! It's on Youtube now: Click here to watch it!

Außer Michelle waren auch andere österreichische Youtuber dort, wie zum Beispiel Michael Buchinger und Kim Lianne. Wir haben auch Fotos gemacht und ich habe sie gebeten etwas in meine Kamera zu sagen für ein kleines Video, das ich zusammen gestellt habe! Es ist jetzt auf Youtube: Klicke hier um es anzusehen!

What I also really liked about this event was that it was also supporting a good cause - everyone could donate money to help refugees! #StarbucksBloggersAndYou was very nicely done and I had a great time there.

Noch etwas, was mir bei dieser Veranstaltung sehr gut gefallen hat, war, dass sie auch einen guten Zweck unterstützt hat - jeder konnte Geld spenden, um Flüchtlingen zu helfen! #StarbucksBloggersAndYou war sehr nett gemacht und ich hatte eine tolle Zeit dort.

 

VIENNA IS DIFFERENT// WIEN IST ANDERS

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

Summer, sweating and heat - the perfect time to write about something that happened 

during the snowy days of january this year.

We were supposed to work in groups and take photos for a class project on the topic

WIEN IST ANDERS (= VIENNA IS DIFFERENT)

which is the slogan of our city.

I had a lovely group to work with (three other girls from my class).

Every group had something to focus on as

old cafes, places you wouldn't expect in Vienna, past/present. 

My group's specific theme was sculptures and buildings.

Our project began and we spent two days freezing in the ice cold Vienna in order to take suitable pictures.

And indeed we did, here are some of my personal favourites:

Enjoy!



 

                                                         





































 







Sculptures are very often to be seen on facades in Vienna, that's why I use to say

"Vienna is where the buildings live and the streets breathe."

("streets breathe" because there are many windy places in this town)

Places in Vienna you can see on the photos: Schloss Belvedere & Innere Stadt (Stephansplatz) 

Through this project I learned how much inspiration, interesting and fascinating things you can discover by just changing your view a little bit.

The next time you're outside try to look at the buildings around you, look up (carefully), right and left, notice what your city is telling you.

Whether you suffer from a creative block or not, I'm sure this is a great opportunity to find new inspiration or at least something new you haven't seen the same way before.

Cheek to Cheek

For my first post I decided to include one of my biggest inspirations: Lady Gaga.

But let's start this differently.

I live in Vienna, the beautiful capital of Austria and I absolutely love it here. Vienna is where the buildings live and the streets breathe and the drinking water is always refreshing coming directly from the Alps.

Another fantastic fact about Vienna is that it constantly offers many events and you can attend a lot of them for free! Here's a short description of one of these events:

Every year in the summer a huge screen is set in front of the city hall and there are lots of seats on which you can sit on to see movies, operas, concerts,... Apart from the seats the whole square is filled with stands selling different kinds of food from all over the world, one smelling better than the other!

For me this is the perfect place for a summer night out.

Now coming back to the one and only: Lady Gaga!
Since 2011 I have been a huge fan of her and now she is one of my biggest inspirations.
I have already touched her shoulder once (but that's another story I might tell in another post)!
I think it was last year when the Jazz Album Cheek to Cheek by Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga was released.

And now imagine how excited I got when I realized that the Cheek to Cheek Live Performance would be broadcasted on the huge screen I told you about!

The show was amazing. I can't describe my love for the combination of Lady Gaga's and Tony Bennett's voices in the style of Jazz. Some may be suprised - Lady Gaga and Jazz?!

Well,

"The lady herself is not just a chameleon in person, but a chameleon in Music." 

 

She also looked stunning in all the outfits and what touched me was how happy she looked, as if what she is doing is someting she truly enjoys.

My favourite songs from this album are Cheek to Cheek, Anything Goes, It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) & Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down).

The show ended with It Don't Mean A Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing) and since this song is one of my favourites it was the perfect ending for a memorable evening.
