ambedo n. a kind of melancholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life.

Whilst cleaning/reorganizing my chest of drawers this afternoon I found this beautiful tiny nut from the stack of my earrings and other jewelry I never wear. An idea of the nut with a small ring popped into my head; since I knew I had some basic rings and super glue irgendwo, it was a pretty quick and simple DIY.

My go-to manicure is a pretty boring, i usually just wear a transparent layer of protecting nail polish, but I wanted to try something new and so I came to the idea to mix two nail polishes together. A layer of Maybelline mini colorama 120 urban turquoise, second layer of a Luminelle sparkling silver nail polish and I have to say, I really love the result. I hadn't used not once either of the nail polishes, but together they create an awesome nail polish, which isn't actually like any other nail polish I've seen before.
