Liverpool in January

Last night I booked a little trip to Liverpool. Going for 6 days in January and I'm more than excited! I normally go a few times a year and I've only been one time this year. I already have 3 little dates planned with friends over there so I'm sure it will be amazing and I won't want to leave, like every time I go, haha. Will for sure move back there when I'm done with school.

Also thinking about getting a tatto when I'm over there, not sure though because I'm scared it will hurt really bad, haha. Only getting a small one so it might not be too bad? Hmm.. We'll see. :)

Girls night out.

Matlida just moved out a week ago, so we decided to have a girls night. We started at hers becuase we all wanted to see where she lives and oh my, she is like the interior design queen. If her flat was an eyebrow, it would be on fleek! Haha, absolutely loved everything about it.

I haven't laughed that much in a really long time. So nice to just relax with a few friends and not worry about anything.Later on we decided to go out, getting to town from hers was an adventure of it's own, haha. Had one of the most fun nights out I've ever had. There were soo many people out and absolutely zero drama. It was spot on! So we're doing it again next week, but a bit more chill, and a little less being hungover hopefully.

There is nothing in the world that beats good friends! <3

It's my birthday soon!

It's my birthday next week, normally I'm really excited about birthdays, mine or others - doesn't matter. We have always made birthdays a big deal in my family. I wasn't really excited about mine this year, there are so many other things going on and I thought I'd just pretend it's not even happening and treat it like a normal Wednesday. But the more I think about it the more I think I shouldn't let stupid things ruin special days as well as normal days?! Right? So I have decided I'm going out for a meal with a few friends after our lectures to have a laugh and a good time, can't wait! :)

This weekend;

I am overly excited to let you know that my sister Amanda is coming to visit me. It's the first time since I moved down here and I can't wait to see her. Not sure exactly what we're going to do but I'm pretty sure it will involve wine, heels and drunken texts, haha. How am I meant to get all my school work done when she's here? Haha.

I'm also in work today, and it's the last day for about a month. Finally I can have a day off! Haha, don't get me wrong, I absolutely love my job, but when you study full time and work part time it can get a little stressful, haha. So now I'll have about 3 weeks off from work and just focus on school and myself. :)

What are your plans for the weekend?

This is me and my sister about 4 years ago. :) 

Chanel.

Hey, so it's been a little while since I was last on here and I thought I'd show you some new beauties in my collection/makeup bag.

I got most of these last week, because I needed them but also because you can't have too many nail polishes or lipsticks!? haha. :) Oh I also got my sister one of those YSL lipbalms that are all over instagram, it was meant to be for her birthday but she's not been feeling too good lately so she got it a little earlier. :)

Woman Crush Wednesday.

So, it's wednesday and that means it's also #WomanCrushWednesday! Yey! Haha, I actually saw this on an other blog, I'd never heard this before but why not? Women could do with being nice to each other.. Am i right? haha. :)

I have soo many woman crushes it's probably weird, but here's one: Miranda Kerr. 

How can you not love this face? haha She looks like she's the nicest person on the planet, ok, be serious now.. could you be angry at that face? No chance! haha. Also she's got a banging body. It's to die for!

Who's your #womancrushwednesday?

My 5 biggest irrational fears.

We all have them? Here are mine.. 

1, That someone has put a camera in the toilet.
- Which is why I never use the toilets in clubs or restaurants. 

2, Being killed when we overtake a lorry in the rain on the motorway.
- One day, it will get too wet on the road and we will slip in under the lorry and die. 

3, There will be someone looking back at me if I look into a mirror in the dark.
- Surely I'm not the only one who doesn't look myself in the mirror in a dark room? 

4, Being on a high bridge and it crumbles and I fall to my death.
- I. Hate. Bridges.

5, Russia invading Sweden.
- Is this irrational tho? Really? Doesn't matter, because I have a plan! 

A little bit of a read..

I have just sat down on our balcony to have a bit of a read. This time I'm reading a book called When you walked back into my life written by Hilary Boyd. I really need a bit of a girly read after my last book which was very depressing and sad to say the least. Anyway.. can't have a good read without tea and cookies.. I'm definitely an old woman in a 23year olds body.. haha I even made these cookies!

20,000

Last night after I had done my writing I checked the word count on my book. 20059 words! Which means it should only be about 2 months until all my writing is done for round one. I'm aiming for about 60-65,000 for round one which means im like a third done. It's finally starting to feel like I can do this. My aim for the book when it's done is about 80,000 words, a boss story and the confidence to post it online. Make sure you read it when it's done! It will of course be free to download. Also.. It'll be in Swedish, at least at first. :)

10 things I want to do before I die

1, Travel the world
Who doesn't want to travel the world? There are so many things I'd love to see and so many people I'd love to meet. I haven't been to that many places and I feel like I could really do with like 6 months of just going places. Too bad my life won't allow it right now. But I'm sure it will at some point.

2, Write at least one book
I'm writing a book right now as you might know? I've written about 15,000 words on it so far and I've decided to start writing 500 words a day because I really want the writing to be done by April next year. Remember? I set that as a goal a while back.
But I'd also like to write a book about my life (because I am THAT interesting..) haha.

3, Buy a PriusThese are the most beautiful cars out there. Every time I see one I have to say PRIUS, it's like I have tourettes. I already have a car, and I can't drive so it will have to wait, but when I'm getting a new car, I'm getting one of these for sure!

4, Learn to dive
My dad has a diving certificate and I am more than jealous, we went to Thailand and went out snorkelling one day and all I could think was "I wish I could go diving here". It's amazing, I've always loved being in the water. But I am also very scared of fish, don't ask me how I can dive if I'm scared of fish.. haha, it just works!

5, Learn a language
Since I moved from Belgium I've always felt like I'm wasting brain space on my Dutch if I don't learn it properly, I know a little bit, enough to understand what people are talking about and enough to go there on holiday and make myself understood. So I'd really like to learn more and get really good at it, if I could get it to the same level as my english, that would be great!

6, Buy my mum a house abroadWhen I was little my mum always said one day she'd buy a house somewhere (I can't remember where). If would be amazing if I could be on that level of success so I could buy her a nice little house somewhere in like Italy.

7, Explore
How cool would it be to go somewhere where no human has ever been? Or find a new animal or insect, name it after yourself or someone you love. I can't even.

8, Meet Edward Furlong
Isn't this everyone's dream really? haha. I was so close ones. So close! Before I met Carl this man was the love of my life. haha. He does Sci-fi conventions sometimes, and he came to Göteborg when I lived there and I didn't know. Then he was going to Stockholm so I bought tickets, went there on my birthday and stood in line for hours to get in, and right by the tills there was a little sign saying he wasn't there. The disappointment was on another level that day.
You ladies can keep your Channing Tatum. I don't care. I have my celeb crush right here! 
Also If I ever meet this guy, and he's a bit of a dickhead.. It will crush me! haha.

9, Star in a film
Not to sound bad or anything, but I think I wouldn't be that bad at acting, and I think it would be so much fun to try it out for real. When I was little I always wanted to be on stage, I was dancing and singing and putting plays together for anyone who came to our house. I'd make my brothers and sister and all their friends join me as well. I always said to myself, if I move to a big city again, I'll go to some auditions, just for fun, to see what it's like.

10, Make a difference 
I'm not sure how yet, but I'd really like to make some sort of difference, it doesn't have to be as big as coming up with a cure for Cancer or anything like that, but just a little difference, for someone, somewhere.

Feel free to comment and tell me the 10 things you'd like to do before you die!

What could I be making for dinner today?

What do you think I'm cooking?
It's not very hard, but if you guess right, I'll post a link to you blog right here tomorrow!

Friday

I am spending my friday night in my sweats eating ice cream, and i love it! 

Trying out my new keyboard.

Hi!

I've just tried my new keyboard for my tablet, I'm not sure if it's the fact I'm using a tablet or it's the keyboard but it's super slow! I can write about 7 words, then I have to wait for like 20sec so it can type it all, then write another 7 words and so on.. It's extremely frustrating because if you forget it will mix up att the letters to a point where you can't even imagine what it was meant to say. Might have to buy myself az small laptop in a while after all.. :(

Anyway, other than that my day has been pretty relaxed I keep thinking it's Thursday? I've done some writing and some research and at this exact moment I'm watching Real Housewives of Vancouver (don't judge! haha).

So, we went shopping..

I don't know what's going on with me at the moment, but I can't help myself when it comes to shopping. Haha. I have decided that this was my last treats for myself for a little while. Besides, I did need most of these things. ;) My keyboard for my tablet works fine but the case is the wrong shape so I have to use my old case for it anyway. Which looks nicer, but is quite a lot heavier.

Other than that, I got three tops from H&M, they're just plain tops that pretty much goes with anything, they're a little longer as well so you can have them with leggings. Also, the Chanel I ordered yesterday at about 1 in the afternoon, and they got here in less than 24 hours! How amazing is that? Was very nervous about the colours as well as I ordered them online, but they were perfect! the lipstick isn't that brown in real life, it's pretty much the same colour as the Gossimer, it's a perfect nude colour.

I'm ready!

I think I have pretty much everything I need now. I just need to figure out if I can have Word on my tablet or if I need to get myself a notebook thing to writ on. My laptop is far to big and heavy to carry around for hours every day. Oh and I need my books of course, but I haven't got a list of books yet so they'll have to wait. :)

New in, Göteborg.

This is what I bought yesterday when I was in Göteborg with Carl. I was so excited to go and get myself a really nice bag, but when I had a look around I found absolutely nothing. I was pretty dissapointed when I left NK and thought; What shop can I always tryst to have what I'm looking for?.. So we went to H&M and I found a bag within 2 minutes, and for about a 10th of the price of what I was planning on paying.. haha.

Oh, and I finally found my white nail polish. :)

I'm in Göteborg!

Hello everyone, It's Monday and I am in Göteborg with Carl to do some shopping and to have a bit of a day out. I have my camera with you and I'll try to update you during the day. If I can't, I promise you a lot of pictures when I come back home! :)

How was your weekend?

In / Out

 Netflix.

I'm not sure what I would have done this summer if it wasn't for Netflix. This summer has beet utterly shit weather wise and I'm pretty sure I've watched 2,5 season of Dexter in a week + a lot of other shows as well. The only thing Netflix need to sort out is subtitles on the scandinavian films/ tv-shows.

 Naturally curly hair.

There is nothing prettier than naturally curly hair. I wish I had some amazing curls to walk around with, but even when I try to curl my hair it lasts for about 10 minutes then looks like I failed straightening it. Not a great look.

 Healthy eating.

I love the fitness hype at the moment, I've always been pretty active even if I used to be a little bigger than I am now, but there is nothing better than the feeling you get from healthy eating. You're happy, energized, full and just ready to go. 9 times of 10 I'll pick a salad over a pizza.

 Fake tan.

I understand, especially after a summer like this that you feel a little tempted to get a fake tan, dont! It doesn't matter if it's from a sun bed, spray bottle ot a lotion. It doesn't look good! End of. You will look like an orange, and it will look very weird and it will go everywhere. You can't even give your mum a hug without getting your orange gooey mess all over her. This is what you will look like:

 Working out without shoes.

What is up with people going to the gym without shoes to work out in? I saw a few your men in my gym do this earlier in the week and I just don't get it. Is there a reason for this or are you just working on giving the whole town Athelte's foot? It's gross!

 Too short shorts on kids.

Let me just say, when I have a child there will be strict rules how short the shorts can be when you go out. There are so many little girls (aged like 10-15) walking around showing half their bum because very short jeans shorts are in fashion right now. Where are the parents, and what are they thinking? 

My Friday in pictures.
