How I did it: I didn't really plan it. My last lecture was over and I had arranged to meet my friend Finja. But I had two hours of spare time before we would meet, so I decided to drink a coffee. As I was walking towards my favotire coffee place I realized that I stodd right in front of a piercing and tattoo studio. I looked thorught the window and got curious. I went inside and stared at the price list above the counter. I never liked facial piercings… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I started publishing articles in newspapers and magazines when I was only ten years old. I published a political article in our local newspaper. Shortly after that more articles followed and I overcame the boarders of our small community. I became successfull when I was 14 and was editor-in-chief in my own department at a small newspaper and continued to write. Read how I did it…
How I did it: I called one of the few places that does Brazilian wax in Hamburg. I went there every four weeks for one year - till I decided nothing could make this pain worth it. And shaving looks better as well. Read how I did it…
