I apologize

Hello everyone, I hope you are all okay (especially in NY due to the storm).
I really want to apologize that I didn't post anything for so long, but there were several changes going on in my life.

So during my time at home I enjoyed baking and the time with my family and my cat (as you know).
For example playing hide and seek with my cat haha.
 Then I made "Russischer Zupfkuchen" (one of my favorites) for the first time of my life.

Furthermore I had a job in Düsseldorf here in Germany where we made a fashion movie, and here is a backstage photo for you guys.



The job in Düsseldorf was on Saturday, so after I went back home. However on Sunday I went to Paris to visit someone because my private life changed a little bit (if you know what I'm talking about). ;) I spent 3 days in Paris and returned yesterday.

Last night I went to the cinema with my sister and after (at night) I made another decision changing my life a little bit.
I decided to be a vegetarian now. I was already thinking about it for a long time but the reason I really made the decision last night was that I nearly hit a deer on the street when driving home from the cinema. It was really close and that was the moment where I knew my decision was right!




So far, these are the news of my private life and on Sunday my model life will go on haha.


Enjoy Halloween everyone! Xoxo

Update

Hello everyone,
as I promised to keep you posted, here a little update:

To my surprise this time my stay at home was extended haha. So the plan for now is that I'm going to an event of my mother agency in Cologne on the 3rd of November and after fly straight to London on the 4th. ;)

So I'm able to go to the gym, bake a couple of things, meet friends again and this weekend my aunt, uncle and cousin are coming to visit us.
Also I'm planning on visiting a friend so I guess there are still plenty of things to do during these 2 weeks.


Keep it up ;) Xoxo

Checklist at home

Hiii everybody, I hope you are all doing good and I apologize for letting you wait a couple of days but I needed some privacy and really enjoyed home so far! ;)

                             our garden from my window

the view from my room


So I decided to give you a little checklist on what I did here at home, if you are interested what a model does in her free time haha --> It's nothing more special than anybody else does. :-P



  • many cuddle hours with my cat - done
  • seeing my sister - done
  • visiting my grandma - done
  • going to the gym - done [actually I went more than once because I really missed doing sports and one of the trainers gave me some exercises for my back/neck/shoulders that I can do when I'm travelling since you know that I have to get muscles there if you followed my blog haha.]
  • playing with my 3 little cousins - done [3 girls - 6, 5 and 2 years old]
  • playing the flute - done
  • reading german magazines and just relax - done
  • singing - done [actually I even went to my former choir once]
  • baking [apple-cinnamon crumble and cinnamon scones] --> now you know why the blog is called "cinnamonmodel" ;)
  • ladies-cocktail-night with one of my friends - done
  • breakfast with my best friend - done
  • some beauty treatments that my hair and feet REALLY needed - done
  • clubbing and partying with friends - done
  • a liiiittle bit of shopping with my mom - done [I'm kind of addicted]
  • ZUMBA at the gym :-) - done [finally again]
  • skyping with another really good friend I'm not able to see these days - done
  • watching trash german TV until laughing tears with my parents - done
  • visiting my great-grandma - done
  • a visit at the italian restaurant I used to help out - done
  • movie night with my best friend again - to be done
  • packing my suitcase AGAIN - to be done
  • seeing where I'll end up next - to be done
Alright, that was the checklist so far. However, you are probably wondering what I mean with the last point. Basically I was supposed to fly to London on Monday for 4 weeks. Last night it turned out that my booker from London is still on honeymoon and I'm not going to London before the 4th of Nov which will be after the contest of my mother agency in Cologne (3-4th of Nov).

Anyways it's weekend now so I won't know what will be going on until Monday but I talked to my motheragent yesterday and we were thinking about Paris again until London is calling. :-)))                                        
                                         beautiful autumn



Enjoy your weekend and I will keep you posted as soon as I know more!

Vacation = Home

Hello everyone,

as you already know, I returned home last night and it feels good to be with my beloved family again. :-)

I've never considered home so much as holidays as now! After 55 days of traveling and never really settling anywhere, you learn to appreciate home. 


This morning it felt SO good to be able to sleep as long as you want and just turned around one more time in your bed if you wake up. No duties, no appointments, nothing than being lazy haha.

However, most of all I missed my little cat called Tipsy. Last night she was lying on my belly cuddling up to me :-)



So I will really enjoy this week at home now, meeting family and friends, going to the gym, making music and relax! :-)

Have a nice Sunday everyone! Xoxo

I'm coming HOME!

Ok this is really the last post from Paris now! And YES you read the title correctly, I couldn't believe it either until I was holding the ticket in my hands!

 
However I have to say I really like Paris. It is a beautiful city, the people are nicer than I expected ( many people expect that all french persons are snobbish and only focused on their own business ).

And today I even received a little present when I was at work hihi.

So I'm already looking forward to my next stay in Paris :-)


Bon week-end tout le monde! Bisous and take care! <3

Gourmet au travail :)

Bonsoir mes amis,

I'm glad that work was easy today as I didn't have a good sleep last night. I have no clue why, but I finally got asleep at 2.30am!
Anyways, I went pretty tired to work today but I already know the team well and we work well together so it was easy to get along as usually. 
On top of that there was something really delightful today as one member of the team brought some chocolates for everybody from a very exquisite Confiserie near George V.
Yummy -> I need to make you a little bit jealous guys, sorry :-D





However, today's news are unsurprisingly the same as many times before. Wanna guess??

Ok I'll tell you --> I'll stay longer :D AGAIN!! This feels like a never ending story but of course they extended my job again until tomorrow and maybe I can do a test shoot with some photographer at the weekend but I promise you I will be home SUNDAY at the LATEST!



Paris doesn't want to me to leave and I'm already looking forward to coming back the next time. :-)

Enjoy your weekend end I guess the next update I will give you from my hooome!

Multilingual

Hi guys :)
My job can be really funny. At the place I work at the moment we have different teams every day. Yesterday they were talking french the whooole day so I could really practice mine.
Today though, most of the team was italian but not all of them so it was a complete mess of FRANCALIANO :D:D
 

I'm glad I speak many languages but even I was mixing up french and italian within one sentence sometimes. It was really funny and I just wanted to let you know that this is one issue in this business which is also very important - multilingualism. Of course you don't need to speak so many languages, but in my opinion it's good to understand what people talk about at every place I am at.

So let's be curious what language the team will speak tomorrow :-D

 La plus belle cité du monde <3

extensions again and again

Hey everyone :)
Today was the last day of my job at the showroom of YSL.

So I expected to go home tomorrow but then the agency called me and asked if I could stay another 3 days because there is another job for me.

Of course I said yes because you know i love Paris and these jobs are good opportunities to meet the right people at the right time.

I hope I can really return home on friday then as I need a little rest from all this and my calltime for London is already on the 22nd haha.

 --> backstage: having fun at work


I hope you are all doing well at home, in NYC, London, Milan, New Zealand and everywhere else :-) I really appreciate that you are following me from all over the world and I will keep you posted!

Wooork

Hi everyone :)
Well, as I'm working really long since yesterday, I'm a little exhausted now. 
I'm gonna be working until Monday and then I can come home to get some rest.
However the job is nice and I get to wear amaaazing clothes!
Unfortunately I'm not allowed to talk about anything I wear there and neither to take photos, so I can't show you pictures this time. I'm sorry, but I signed a contract about it. :-P


Today was the "Marilyn New Faces Cocktail Party" at a restaurant. I went there immediately after my job to join everyone for dinner and it was a really nice, cozy place. It was fun to be with the people from work in private and I had a really nice evening although I am veeery tired now.






I better go to bed now, but I wanted to keep you posted and the next time I'll try to attach some nice photos again.





Bonne nuit <3 xoxo

Getting ready :)

Good morning everyone,

today I'm going for a swim becuase I've figured out that there's a swimming pool only one street further from our place. Due to the fact that I have to get broader shoulders and a broader back to define my proportions besides putting on weight, swimming is a good way to start. :-)

In the afternoon I'm having a Polaroid session with Aurélia at the agency, I guess it's  gonna be fun.

Moreover I'm doing a rehearsal tonight. Remember, I've done the rehearsal for the Versace show in Milan?? 
Tonight I'm doing a 3 hour rehearsal for Louis Vuitton which is from 8.30pm until 11.30pm, so I'm really curious what it's gonna be like this time.

And you know it's my last day before my big job starts tomorrow, right?
It's gonna be tough but I think it's gonna be fun, too.

I'd say I'm well prepared lol :-P
Take care. Xoxo

Auuux Champs-Élysées bada'n'dada

Hi again :)
I don't know if you know the song about Champs-Élysées, but I have it in my ears the whole day and it sets me in such a good mood.


When I was walking down the Champs-Élysées today I even met 2 photographers again :D these street photographers seem to be everywhere.


As soon as I get the photos I'll let you know (for sure).



So after my trip to the Eiffel Tower I went to the church Nôtre Dame this afternoon. 

It was really cool to see it in real life as I've only known it from the Disney movie haha.

Anyway, I need to tell you something about about public services here in Paris.
I'm talking about public toilets. 

Actually I was quite surprised as I figured out that they have bathrooms for public at tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower and the Nôtre Dame! You wonder why I was surprised? They were completely for free!
I've never seen such a service in any big city in the world now. I mean I'm fully aware of the fact that I'm talking just about toilets right now ( :-D ) but still I was impressed. I was especially surprised that they are free because when I went to this shopping center the other day just to use the toilets, the man stopped me and wanted me to pay 2 f***ing € for it. Are you kidding?? This city is crazy haha.

I'm experiencing many funny things as you can read here and I'll definitely keep you posted. ;)

ONE day off :-)

Bonjour mes amis :)
I can't believe it, I really have nothing to do today!! That's the first day in 5 weeks or something now but it feels like I didn't have a day off in aaages.

Gladly the weather is awesome today, sun is shining and autumn is about to arrive.

So I went to la Toure Eiffel this morning and took a bunch of photos. 
Now I'm up to visit the church Nôtre Dame so I'm just showing you the pictures of this morning and more will come tonight.

Xoxo
