Hello again~ My big sis was actually supposed to come visit me this weekend... But that plan was butchered since she had to do her big monthly grocery shopping with our older brother D: damn you brother! Why now! You can have her any other day you guys live in the same city! Anyway... I was thinking about inviting her to my favourite crêpe place, but that couldn't be helped well just have to wait for next time(which is hopefully this coming weekend!)  for our crêpe date~ My desire to eat them didn't disappear with my sister's visit so mom picked me up after work today and we had a little mummy/daughter crêpe-date instead! Which wasn't too bad either❤️ I bet my sister was a little jealouse she couldn't get these goodies when I sent her the pics ;)

That's it... I think I'm going to bed! As soon as I came home from the gym I cooked something really fast for dinner, then made some more of my delicious honey roasted granola and finally sat myself in front of the computer and got stuck on youtube for a while(like always~). I've also read/studied about blogging from blogg.se's blog school (which is unfortunatly in Swedish(sorry if you don't speak/read/understand swedish...). It's actually really helpful! aaaaaalmost to the point where I want to buy the rest of te chapters! (because yes you have to buy them) BUT right now I'm too tight-fisted to spend money on something like that XD Maybe the next time my pay check gets a little extra big for the month ^^ Well good night then :)

Most of us are familiar to the concept of OOTD, right? Outfit Of The Day. When youtubers and bloggers share their daily look with the viewer/reader. Personally I love these type of videos, anything related to fashion really, and that's why this post comes very natural to me~ Well what I wore was something like this. Tight bottoms, loose top, great combo!  It let's me be comfortable but not slouchy~ Top it up with a beanie and no one will notice my nap-hair! Let's call this a humble little homenage for Stoxkholm fashion week which is invading our capital right now! ( I really want to go!!!!) 

How can some frozen fruit an a tiiiiny amount of milk create something so yummy! It's just a VERY thick smoothie but if you add the right amount of milk it can get an almost creamy, sorbet consistency! A delicious healthy treat in other words~ Sadly I'm not feasting on one of these right now, nooooo... It's too close to bed time for that and going to bed with a heavy stomach isn't really ideal.... But tomorrow one of them shall be mine!

So I've come up with every single excuse not to stick to my new years resolutions! Each day is a chance to feel better physically and mentally :) I like to think that my self confidence is pretty high, but like one of my best friends usually says self confidence is not the same as self love. And I think the latter can be even more important sometimes! That's one of the things I  think I'll try to work on in 2015.  I know and am proud of the fact that at least my self confidence has grown since I was 15-17, and to be fair I didn't even know the concept of self love a year ago( I think?). Anyway, let's all do this guys !

Hi there~ I'm on my way to bed soon, I'm just going to finish this post and then pick up mum's university novel and read a bit before I fall asleep so I can help her discuss it this weekend :) All I know about it is that it's based on a true story of Enaiatollah Akabris journey to Sweden after his mother abandoned him in order to save him from the Talibans( I think). Mum really likes the story and gets really emotional over it, which is rare~ I'll give my opinion on it once I've read more than a page :)

Yup, yup you heard (nah more like read) right! One of my favourite boy bands(man bands, guy bands?) have done a male lipstick ad for a cosmetic brand called SAEM. It seems to be more of a slightly tinted chapstick thingy than a lipstick because the colour seems to be veeery subtle :) For some people lipstick is something that is soley relatable to women but I find this pretty fascinating and amazing! I like to break the whole gender sterotype in things so that might be a factor to why :P  I think its meant to moisturize it mens lips and even out the color, which sounds amazing to me! Pretty looking and soft lips, what is it not to like? the product looks very sleek and chic even for men, and if the color would be a bit more like what the actual product looks like and not their lips on the add I would like one in almost every colour. I would really like to hear peoples opinion in this if anyone comes across this post? :) Guys and lipstick or make up commercials

So I spent last weekend in the City of Lights, infamously known as Paris~ Mostly becuse on of my best friends needed company to go see her favourite band play on her BIRTHDAY(how could I NOT go with her come on!) On friday while she was (queing) going to the concert I went up and down the strets of Paris :D Even if people told me that winter was the worst time to visit Paris, I really enjoyed it! Here comes a little taste of my trip :)

Sooooo.... What's with me and all these sad love songs?! I haven't even been in a real/fake/even semi romantic relationship yet, EVER! Why do I even ''need'' to listen to these songs! xD Want to know why? Because they are AWESOME thats why! Anyway, I was going to talk about Bruno Mars wonderful power ballad Talking to the Moon. It's a very sad love song telling the story about a miserable person That desperatly tries to feel som type of closeness to their lover hoping that they will both be connecting while seeing the same moon... Yes, yes, I have luckly not needed to feel this yet but I can imagine how hopless of an wmotion it must be to just want to put your arms and be close to someone who is miles away~ The simple piano chords in the beginning give a very voulunable feeling to the song until it pick up a more power ballad feeling with the intense drums and Bruno's mighty tones that seem like suffering screams released  with the last bits

Ooookay noo, maybe not really an ''outburst'' that might be an overstatement... But challenging my more creative self is one of my new years resolutions for 2015. And if I know myself well (which I really hope I do!) I will challange sketching and painting especially, since it's the art form I'm most interested and comfortable with. I chose the lion as my first piece because it was the first thing I got inspired to do. The inspiration came partly from the Chanel lion and Coco, my eldest sister and my zodiac sign :)

I don't know excatly when but sometime during my IB days I started to use a calendar regiously. I notted all my school stuff and even the most unremarkable, everyday things.  They are good to look at if you need a little motivation~ These past years I've always had one of those draw the cover yourself  ones. But then I always feel like I need to to an new cover each month and even if it isn't too much to ask for as soon as it becomes a must it becomes a burden for me xD I don't really know why? This year I went for something a little bit more minimalistic, but still edgy with the colour choice ;) It's neither a  large or small sized calendar. It is very thin though, which is a great plus. I think it would be a bity less appealing if it was thicker...  People tend to opt for the more  neutral colors for faux leather calendars, like back, white or brown~ That's why I like this one. It kind of stands out from my other books so it will be easy

10.  2PM - Go Crazy If I was a party animal this would be my pump up song for 2014! xD 9.   GOT7 - A A pure happy go lucky song. I mean how can you even make a frown while listening to this. The melody is just so old school boy group-ish, I love it! It's a song I turn on when I have time to get ready to go somewhere so I have time to jam to it while getting dressed or doing my make up. 8.   Royal Pirates - Love Toxic A very well composed (duh its RP), sexy yet classy song. Props for Soyoon for composing this! It's the song you should play when you want to get your flirt game on ;) I mean just look at Moonsanova in this video! I by the way really need this song (See what I see) in English versions guys so if you could release them on the next album that be great~ 7.   Taeyang - Love You To Death Emotional trainwreck(nah it's just very emotional sounding) non-title track (actually last song of the album) song from Taeyang's 2014 Rise solo album!

I've been given the perfect present for a tea lover like me! One of my best friends Emma gifted me this enormous tea cup for christmas its perfect because it fits alot of tea while still keeping it hot for pretty long :) Look at the size of that thing! I can still drink about 5 cups a day ;)

I have a sort of special place just for Lush in my heart. This organic, fair trade beauty store is a department some people won't even consider to enter because of the strong smells that come from the shop, and others adore, I can happily say the second example!  I love the smells, the designs, the concept, it just makes me happy!  It can be a bit pricy for the customer especially if they are on a budget!  Therefore you need to be smart and shop when it's at its cheapest! A good opportunity is the Christmas sales *smug smile smiley*          I'm pretty sure I'm missing a couple of pieces but you get what I mean because I got all this for less than 230 kr or 23 pounds!

I know that's the cheesiet title ever! But start the year cheesy~ I've actually missed posting this on the first day (1 of 365) by a minute as I'm typing! Damn it! Anyway I'm still on my first day because I haven't gone to bed yet ~ I started 2015 really nicely by celebrating one of my best friends ever's birhday party ( yes she's an New year's baby how amazing isn't that!). We went to her house and they had a japanese style party~ It was very nice and she has one of the cutest and biggest dogs ever! I some how managed to put together this beautiful little Messini Design necklace to her at the last minute(it was well appriciated, I think~). They are a great gift for anyone at anytime :) I am by the way a sucky friend that made her forget one of her New year's resolutions less then a day after she made it! I'm sorry Adina but you will be eating chocolates even in 2015!

With one of my Resoulutions saying that " I should sleep better"! I went to bed right after the midnight countdown thingy~ but now I'm of to bed! Night to you all :)
