I saw this beautiful painting in a restaurant in Costa Rica. It made me smile instantly. I had to take a picture of it. Hope you like it.

Love from Buenos Aires,

Hi guys,

In between my recording sessions in the studio I went home to recharge my battery and get some fresh air.

These photographs were taken close to my home town. I live really close to nature and enjoy the fresh air every day. I love cities, for shopping and sight seeing, but could never live in a city center.

I love autumn when the leaves are still displaying different moods. When the sun is shining you can encounter gorgeous sceneries.

Sunny kisses,

Hi everyone,

On the 31st of October, me and my friends were celebrating 'Dia de los Muertos' in the Rohre in Stuttgart.

I have never worn this much make up all at once. We spend about 4 hours getting ready. I've surfed the internet for tutorials and images. It was very difficult to choose a design, so I kind of did my own except for the eyes. They are inspired by:

This was my first try at creating a 'Sugar Skull'. I didn't have any practice before and also didn't glue my eyebrows because I forgot to buy a 'Pritt Stick'. I do would like to erase my eyebrows one day. That I will save for next year.

Make Up used;

Hello to all loyal Epica fans,

October is the month of Breast Cancer Awareness. I wanted to make my contribution, because it is important to keep on fighting cancer and keep those wonderful female assets intact. 

I hereby want to auction off this kind of iconic top that I wore during the early days of Epica. The money will be donated to Pink Ribbon.

When you place your bid please keep in mind that they money goes to a good cause. I thank you for all your loyalty and support throughout the years and hope that you are willing to help me raise a lot of money.

Here is the link to the beautiful butterfly top which is waiting for you on Ebay: Simone's Style.

Here is a little, tiny- whiny preview of my make up from the second photo shoot that I had with Heile.

He came to my house since we live pretty close to each other now. Like always, we had a good time and came up with some great images. I can't wait to see the end result!

Black kisses,

Love,

Hi guys,

Circa what?

Since one week today I've returned home from the Kamelot tour through the USA and Canada. In my career I've experienced very little jet lags, but this time I got it bad. We arrived in Germany at 9 am, which was 3 am for us in America. Time to go to bed and not to start a new day. I slept 3 hours in the plane and felt somewhat refreshed.

Unfortunately it took me a long time to get back in to European time. Waking up at 3 am in the morning, even though I went to sleep at 22.00 is quite unpleasant. Imagine that 3 nights in a row and add up two sleepless nights before that. I was once again Smoon Zombie. I've tried to fall asleep again and waited many hours, counted millions of sea horses ( I prefer those to sheep), but I was wide awake and deeply frustrated, which also doesn't help you to fall back asleep again.

The weather is amazing, but also confusing. The leaves are turning red and falling down, but the temperature feels more like we're in the middle of summer. The only thing autumn like is my mind which is still foggy from the jet lag.

Speaking about sleeping, it is time for me to go to bed!

Sleep well,
