>> IBTN Gift Guide: Guys - Get Your Girlfriend This Stuff And She Will Love You Forever!


cordless hair straightener

Hello my dear readers! Thank you for frequently checking my Blog even though I have been on a little break, due to my move to Canada. Now I am back with a hopefully helpful article for you - The IBreakTheNews Gift Guide! 🎁 It is that time of the year again when you are clueless what to get for that special person in your life. Don't worry, we are here to bring you a little last minute inspiration. You're welcome!

1. Cordless Hair Straightener:

I can not believe how far ahead I am in the hair straightening game and I yet have to meet one other person who upgraded themselves to the use of a wireless/cordless hair straightener! It was in mid-2016 when it came to my mind how useful such an invention would be. When I googled it I found out that it already exists and that it was available on eBay Germany so bought it right away. Everybody who ever straightened their hair with a regular straightener knows, how annoying and limiting this cord is. You can not move, you burn your ear, whatever.. all of this is over now with this truly magical invention! Put the device on the charging station for 5-10 minutes and you are ready to go. Walk around, sit down, do whatever you like while working on your hair because this thing will give you the freedom to do so. Price point: Should definitely be below 100$. In fact, mine was below 50 Euros. It is literally magic.. PS. It comes with a cordless curling iron too (not pictured). So far never used that one, but might be good for festivities.

2. MAC Dazzleglass - a favourite since many years - quality (often sold out) sparkly lipgloss.

I have first discovered this product during my time in NYC in 2008. It became an instant favorite of mine because of its consistency and quality. When I wanted to buy it in Toronto this year, I have had to check 4 stores to eventually get it. When I stumbled upon it unexpectedly, they had only 2 sealed ones left in the whole store, 1 of them in the color I wanted -  so logically I bought it. If you do not have a fixed address online shopping can be challenging. On the picture you can barely see it but in real life it is super nice, comfortable to wear and sparkly. Price point: Around 25$. Try the store but chances are better online. Make sure you get the original one from MAC directly, not some dodgy online shop copy.

3. La La Land Soundtrack Vinyl - signed if you are fortunate enough

So this one is just a very obvious choice in my case since I am the biggest La La Land fan there is and there will ever be. You can surely find this item online, but here is the thing: A signed record would be even better. I have read about several events during which Justin Hurwitz (the composer of the soundtrack) took the time to greet fans and sign this record - but only if you live in LA. Buzzkill. My suggestion: Why can he not go on some sort of tour so we all could have the chance to get his signature on this. I can only imagine the music sounds even better on vinyl. Price point: 30$. PS. I still do not have it but I also don't have a record player at hand so I will have to postpone. Conclusion: If your partner is the romantic type and already a fan of the movie, this is the gift to get! And you will need that vinyl record player.

 4. A handwritten Christmas card with meaningful words - nothing can really top that. 
PS. quote a thoughtful poem that reflects your emotions if you are not good with words or have a hard time expressing your feelings verbally. Price point: priceless.

Disclaimer: This article is not clouded by my own opinion. Wait actually it very much is! :D I hope this was helpful to you. 
Merry Christmas!🎄

- ideally signed by the composer but only if you live in LA.

Hello dear readers! In this presentation, you will hear how the US population was influenced online during the time leading up to the 2016 election.

>> 25.2.2023 Berlin, Germany: Stand Up For Peace - Because Opening Channels For Communication Is Better Than Escalation 🕊️

Wenn auch Du denkst dass der einzig richtige Weg,  aus der sich immer weiter zuspitzenden Lage in der Ukraine, Gespräche und Verhandlungen statt immer weiterer Waffenlieferungen sind, kannst Du hier die Petition für den Frieden unterschreiben. Außerdem findet am 25sten Februar um 14 Uhr eine Kundgebung vor dem Brandenburger Tor in Berlin statt . Desto mehr Teilnehmer sich dort einfinden, desto mehr wird der Gesuch nach Verhandlungen die zu Frieden führen können, gehört. Solltest Du also gerade vor Ort sein und diese Einstellung teilen, kannst Du dich gern den anderen anschließen die ebenfalls durch Vernunft etwas bewirken wollen,  als die Krise durch weitere Waffenlieferungen immer weiter anzuheizen. Hier kannst Du weitere Informationen finden.

>> Introducing: Bernd Das Brot - Germany's Most Grumpy Yet Most Beloved Mascot!

Image
Bernd Das Brot & Ivonne The Editor Once again we bring you unique content, because who else but us would write a feature article about a grumpy piece of bread that goes by the name of 'Bernd'. Only we do this internationally. :)  The notoriously low spirited piece of dough, is famous in Germany for his TV Show ' Bernd Das Brot '. It is about him, being as grumpy as a loaf can get.   photo:  AP/ Thüringer Allgemeine To honor him, there is even a 2 meter tall statue of his likeness, located in the city center of  Erfurt, Germany since 2007. In 2009 this statue made headlines when an anonymous group abducted Bernd from his regular spot. A few weeks after that, he was found by police in a basement nearby. Their statement was: 'It is definitely him, he is ok.' Fynn and Bernd das Brot   Nobody ever really found out who brought the German cult figure into the basement and why. But he is good and back at his old spot and that is all that
