A healthy Lolita lifestyle

Hello chocolate- lovers ♡

Somewhere deep down in my blog in this post I promise to do a post on how to live healthy. I remember I was inspired by this tumblr blog back then and wanted to do something similar.
I'm maybe not an expert when it comes to living healthy, as I am a big sweet-tooth, but I promised to write this and so I will do now :)

First I want to say that eating healthy doesn't mean to eat nothing. Eating nothing is actually quite unhealthy.
A good diet is well-balanced, full of healthy food prepared in your own kitchen <3
I also want to state that living healthy doesn't mean you are not allowed to eat anything unhealthy ever again. Eating a cake or something once in a while is perfectly fine!

Which food is good for you depends on multiple factors. Your profession, your genes, your activity..to name only a few. However there are of course a few guidelines on what is healthy in general, like avoid too much sugar, salt, fat..
It's also very important how you present your food. Especially as a Lolita I like my food to look nice and cute. I recommend bento boxes, molds and cute tableware <3

The right food isn't the only key to a healthy lifestyle. Drinking also has major role. Water and tea, especially green tea, are your best friends.
And of course a healthy life also encompasses exercising and sports. In this post I mentioned some sports a Lolita might like.

Remember that every step you are doing in the direction of living healthy is for yourself. I try to live healthy myself and it always makes me feel beautiful and gives me energy <3
If you want to do further researches on what is healthy and what not google is your friend.
I hope this post was a little useful for you.

Do you have any health tips?

Children's Books for Lolitas

Hello dolls ♡

Lately, I'm dealing a lot with children's books because I need that for my final exams. I thought it would be fun to feature some a Lolita might like.

#1 Alice Adventures in Wonderland. 
Alice seems to be a fix element of Lolita fashion. Alice themed stuff is popular for dress prints and there is even an own substyle called Alice Lolita (It's not so popular in the west though ~).
I read the book myself and I enjoyed it a lot. Lewis Carroll also wrote a second story with Alice as protagonist. The book is called Through the looking glass. 
It's also fun to see which of the characters that appear in the movies are from witch book!

#2 Winnie-the-Pooh
by A.A.Milne
When I was a child I was crazy about the Disney adoption of Winnie-the-Pooh. I watched the movie/episodes nearly everyday. I read the book again lately and it's just so cute ♡
The characters are nearly all toys what makes the story interesting for Lolitas. I also love how the whole story plays in a wood.

#3 The Moomins
Moomins are fairytale like creatures that live in a wood. The Moomin series includes nine volumes written by the Swedish author Tove Jansson. I sadly wasn't able to read the series myself so far but I heard that the German translation it isn't far as good as the original. Sadly I don't have any information about the English version in this matter ~

#4 Fairy-tales
Many Lolitas get inspired by fairy-tales. If you are of the opinion that the one's for children are too boring try to find the original versions that were written for adults.

Are there any children's books you enjoyed? Tell me in the comments!

Love,
