New Year

Hello lovelies,

So Blogmas was not a success. I hit a bit of a slump there in the beginning of December and I'm just getting out of it. I'm hoping that 2015 will be my year as 2014 wasn't!

I am not making resolutions, as I never keep them anyway. I am, however, wishing. I am wishing things for the new year, or of the new year.

I am wishing for organization in my life. Seriously. When I am finding bills and important things that I don't know if I've paid or not I seriously need to sort things out!
I am wishing for happiness and joy to my family. They really deserve all the happiness they can get.
I am wishing for love. I know that this is very superficial and silly, but I'm tired of being alone now.
I am wishing for friendship. Yes, you read that right. I feel like I've lost many friends this year and it has all been my own fault. I need to find good company and stick by them. And they need to understand me and all of my flaws.
Lastly I am wishing for adventure. I want to be swept of my feet and I want to be spontaneous. I want to have enough courage to actually live.

In 2015 I wish that I will finally live my life. To not hold myself back and tell myself that I can't. I want to do new things, experience life.

I hope for a good year, one with many laughs and smiles that will warm my heart.

Happy New Year all my readers!

Package haul | Blogmas 2014

Hi lovelies,

Yesterday I got a package from my dear friend Patrice. She was in Canada earlier this year and I asked her to pick up the Naked 3 palette for me, which she posted to me and it arrived yesterday. However, upon opening the package I found a few more goodies!

The lovely Naked 3 palette that I've been waiting for since its launch! It's so beautiful and I can't wait to do looks with it!

She gave me this beautiful bracelet. The infinity symbol is one of my favourites, and the band is a lovely turquoise :)

She also sent me this compact powder that I've never heard of - but she says it's her new favourite! Super excited to try this!

I also received this beautiful blush! it's called heat wave and the last two items are from Essence.

I've used Essence products before and they are pretty good in quality. Bought all my other things in Croatia and I've not seen them in Sweden at all! Shall be interesting if I fall in love to see where I find these products!

More eBay packages | Blogmas 2014

Hi lovelies,

So I came home today to two more packages from eBay! Let me tell you, those small cute paper packages get me super excited! Today was a delivery of two Harry Potter things and I'll show you which ones they were below!

This gorgeous wrap around bracelet (that I've also ordered in another colour) has the Deathly Hallows symbol on it as  as two owl and The Golden (silver) Snitch. The band is some sort of pleather material and it looks really nice one the wrist. Will probably wear this one tomorrow!

The second thing is a necklace and it's of the Hogwarts Houses and their animals in one Hogwarts Crest. It's really pretty and even though it's gold, and I'm usually not a gold person, I can see myself wearing it! 

P.s. My Whovian friend and I shared our Tardis necklace today and I walked around feeling like a nerd and a 10 year old all rolled in one! Best feeling ever! ;)

Nerdy accessories | Blogmas 2014

Hi lovelies! 

So a few days ago my first ever order from eBay came in the mail. I was super excited as the earliest expected delivery day on all of my items were 17th December I wasn't expecting anything to arrive before then!

If you follow me on Instagram you'll know exactly what arrived, but I'll let the rest of you in on what it was!

A Deathly Hallows necklace that is jus so pretty! It's at an odd length compares to what I'm used to as it tend to fall inside my tops and chill my boobs - uncomfortable! But I'll figure out how to wear this asap! 

Today I was happy to walk down the stairs and find a second little package on our counter! Excitement feels queued and I just tore the thing open to reveal my two Doctor Who necklaces!!!

The first one is of the Tardis key and I'm super pumped about this one!! It's the key that belonged to the seventh doctor and even though I haven't seen the Old Who it still gets me excited. Besides, all the New Who Tardis keys look just like normal boring keys so this one contains much more awesome in my books!

It has this star sign pattern on the back and I'm dying to find out if it means something specific or just manufactured that way? Can someone tell me?

The second Doctor Who necklace is this Tardis one. It is supposed to be for couples and lovers but since I don't have one of those I'm giving the other half to my fellow Whovian who I made into a Whovian. We just need to figure out who gets which half! 

I'm a happy nerd today and I'm going to get something to eat and then proceed with the rest of my day!

Nails | Blogmas 2014

Hi lovelies!

Just wanted to show you what's on my nails right now. I think they are beautiful and I hope you'll agree! :)

Don't mind my cuticles and nail beds... This is what happens during the colder months! The blue polish is Revlon Chroma Chameleon in Cobalt and the glitter is Essie On a Silver Platter.

What do you think? A beauty isn't it? :)

Makeup Love | Blogmas 2014

Hi lovelies,

Thought I'd share two makeup favourites with you. One that I just ran out of and one that I recently purchased!

The one that I've run out of is by Lumene and it's their mattifying and retexturizing primer. 

It works amazingly well and mattifies the skin as well as fills in the biggest pores. It has done wonders for my base makeup theology the years and I'm very thankful. Unfortunately, when I ventured out to restock they were out of stock in the store! So right now I'm trying out a new primer from NYX that I'm hoping will do the trick!

My next favourite is by Warpaint. Now, can I ask how their logo has any connection to the word Warpaint? It's a W and a 7.... I don't get it but I'd love for people to tell me!

I bought their In The Buff palette the other day and tried it out this morning with my makeup. It gave a lovely result with great lasting power! I'm very impressed and excited to try the other Warpaint palette that I bought!

Look at all those lovely nudes! It's definitely a Naked 2 knock-off but it also does a very good job for a fraction of the price! I bought mine at Rusta, but if you don't have one near you I know they stiok them at craycray.se. I guess that they have them in other countries too but I don't know for sure!

I have some exciting stuff happening very soon in my life and I can't wait to share it with my Blogmas readers!

Lena Meyer-Landrut | Blogmas 2014

Hi Lovelies,

You know when you listen to an artist, and you love their every song and follow their every move and sing along to everything? And then after a while you kinda forget about them? And then some time passes and you rediscover them?

Yes, that's what has happened to me. I rediscovered Lena the other day and now I have major hair envy. Today I also have rediscovered her music and OH MY GOD! I LOVE IT!!!

Her single Stardust is on repeat and it is bloody amazing! And to make it even more fun she's releasing a new album in 2015!! Get excited with me!!!

Yes, I might be addicted to watching her on The Voice Kids Germany because she is so darn cute!! Seriously, cannot express how in love I am with this person right now!

Mr. Arrow Key is another one of her songs that I really like! I especially like the art for this song as my hair envy is going nuts!!

Here is a pic from The Voice Kids auditions that I keep looking at just to see her reactions!
I am also trying to brush up on my German skills to understand what she says in interviews and things like that so having Lena as my Woman Crush is definitely not bad! ;)

Hair Envy | Blogmas 2014

Hey lovelies,

I've spent a good portion of today watching The Voice auditions and I got serious hair envy going on right now!

In The Voice Australia they have Delta Goodrem as a judge - have you seen this woman?! She's always been a looker, but jeez - it's like she's photoshopped or something!! She's so pretty it's insane! And her hair is like Disney Princess Hair! Oh my lord, what I wouldn't give for that hair!! 

So gorgeous!!

And then we have The Voice Kids Germany... And they just happen to have Lena Meyer Landrut as a judge and this girl has been on my radar since she won ESC - but oh my god has she changed and DAAMN I want her hair!! Scratch that, I want to be her! Gorgeous from head to toe and the sweetest person ever according to what I've seen!

 

Like, I need my hairdresser on the phone stat - can we make this happen, please?!!

Bathtub and Doctor Who Feels | Blogmas 2014

Hi lovelies,
This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but due to me being sickly, I changed the rhythm of the day and it kinda messed everything up!
So, just think of this as December 1st, and the second post will be up later today :)

So, as mentioned, I am sick. I am home from work because I have a bad cold and I am constantly coughing my lungs out. Seriously, every now and then, mid cough attack I stop breathing... It's scary, and I think my students would find that horrifying!

So, I started December off with sleeping until noon, waking up to take a new round of medicine and then sleeping again until 15:30 when my mother called and woke me up. I was well rested, but had messed up my daily rhythm - so I was also awake until 2:30 am....
Spent the day watching all the vlogmas videos in my feed and getting super pumped!
And that's when I decided that Blogmas is what I'll do and hopefully, once I feel a little bit better, there will be some videos included in the blog posts! :)

So yesterday, as I was sitting in the sofa I decided to take a bath. And, if you are really good with using up your Lush stuff within the "fresh" dates - please don't judge what I'm about to tell you!
In January of 2014 I visited my local Lush and bought lots of festive stuff on sale. Bath bombs, bath melts and bubble bars. Most of those things I used up in around February - March. Look back on my Instagram feed and you'll know that I'm not lying about that one! However.... I didn't use up my last Shooting Star Bomb, or my last Cinder Bomb... So they've been sitting snuggly in a box in our bathroom since January... And I used them yesterday in December.... That means that they were like batched a year ago.... Let me tell you - they smelled just as nice, and they made the water all colourful and left my skin feeling smooth and soft as they should. The only big difference was that I plopped them in the water and they were gone within 30 seconds.... Which the fresh ones weren't...

So my verdict it - don't leave your Lush things for too long, but if you do they are still useable and they won't kill you!

After that I sat down to do some preparing for my students assessment and I decided to finally watch the new Doctor Who series... I've been putting it off and not having time to properly indulge in it until yesterday. I watched the first three episodes and this is what I have to say;

I really liked how they made Clara's reaction to the Doctor's regeneration into a big thing. I liked how they kinda had to convince her that he is the same guy. Cause, let's be honest - it's a big change!
I cried when Matt Smith called her phone in the end. She was all done and ready to leave and he called her, from the past. It was so beautiful and thought-through by Moffat that I just couldn't take it. Jenna's acting in the spaceship - where she has to hold her breath to trick the robots and then she gets captured and has this whole speech and just wishing the doctor is there to have her back. BRILLIANT! Yes, I was kinda hoping that Matt would be behind the mask, and was disappointed for a little while.
I am so sad that Clara will be leaving at Christmas, that is probably the one thing that is making this Christmas Special one that I 'm not looking forward to. Clara is my favourite companion because she is very similar to myself and how I would've portrayed the companion.

Now.... what do I feel about the Doctor? I gave him three episodes to redeem himself and to see if he could win me over. I must say that I think I like him. I think I can get used to him and his grouchy Scottish behaviour! I'm not entirely convinced yet, but at least I don't hate his guts. Which is what I thought I'd do!

Christopher Eccleston is the first Doctor I saw, without knowing who or what the show was, David Tennant is my Doctor, he's the one I fell in love with and Matt Smith will forever have my heart... I just need to figure out what I'm gonna do with Peter Capaldi...

I'm going to try and get some actual work done now, see you later!

Saturdaze

I know,
I am so bad at keeping things I promise.
I say I'll post videos regularly, and I don't.
I say I'll do blogtober, and I don't...
I say all these things and I just don't stick to it....

I'd like to sit here and announce blogmas. but I don't know if I'll be able to stick to it.  I really want to, jeez - don't get me wrong, but there is part of me that knows that I'll just feel pressured and that I will end up not following it through.

I'm sitting here, curled up in my sofa, and I can't believe that Christmas is just around the corner! Tomorrow is the first of Advent and on Monday we have December 1st. Where has this year gone? And I remember that I said I'd try and blog for a year... how did that go? 21 blog posts in a year.
Jeez, that was a great success... And don't get me wrong, I like blogging. I like the idea of people reading what I write and finding my jabbering exciting. I want to be able to tell you about all the good books I read, the movies I see, the music I listen to, the pictures I take, the things that I like and the things that I don't like. I want to share my life with my trusty readers.
There aren't that many of you, but that's my own fault for not writing as much as I promised...
The same way that I want to make videos for my loyal viewers - even though there's only a handful of you!

And then life happens. Life gets in the way. The stress of work and life in general gets the best of me and then I'm stuck there - with nothing! The blog calling in the back of my mind and nothing that I can do about it.

I want that to change. I want to be able to update you without feeling obliged to, or feeling guilty for not doing it. I want to be able to live and update you at the same time... It's a very odd thing to get to work, believe it or not. In my life at least...

I'm sorry, not it's just mindless rambling and I'm sorry for that.

Hopefully you'll hear from me soon
love you lots

Movie review: Feast of Love [Blogtober #2 2014]

Hello lovelies,

I watched this lovely film called Feast of Love. That is the original title, but here in Sweden it was called Cup of Love. Don't really know why they changed it!

Some information to start us of with;
Year: 2007
Genre: Drama/Romance
Director: Brad Silberling
Stars: Morgan Freeman, Greg Kinnear, Radha Mitchell, Toby Hemingway, Alexa Davalos and Jane Alexander
Synopsis: A rustic Oregon town is the backdrop for this tale of men and women touched by love's inescapable spell. From Bradley, the hopeless romantic who looks for love in all the wrong places; to Harry, a local professor with the wisdom and experience to guide those close to him; to young, beautiful Chloe, who defies fate in romancing the troubled Oscar. (From IMDB)


I actually bought this on DVD many months ago, because I liked the synopsis. Although I never got around to watching it.
I'm so glad I finally did!

Anything with Morgan Freeman is bound to be great, and this film was no exception. All these love stories that he gets to see and experience. Everything from young love, to mistakes, to old marriages and death.
It was absolutely beautiful and had me hooked from the get go. The actors did a stunning job and the storylines seemed well thought through and real. It was both heartwarming and heartbreaking. Just the thing to watch on a Sunday evening!

I can't really tell you anything about the plotline since I will spoil it for you - that's an issue with me, I don't know when to stop, so I just won't start!
I will tell you though that I squealed a little when Stana Katic, who plays detective Beckett in Castle, showed up on the screen. I love her and even though she was just in it for a little while it was spectacular!

I recommend this movie to be watched with people you love, or on your own to make you think about your life and the love around you.
All in all a great film, but not the best one I've seen! But still a great watch!

Final rating: 3.5 stars out of 5!
Verdict: Watch it if you feel like a good watch, but you won't be missing out on a masterpiece if you don't!

Blogtober Announcement [Blogtober #1 2014]

Hello my lovelies,
I thought I'd let you know that I'm going to be doing blogtober! I'm a little late to the party, but will spend the next few days catching up!
I have done vlogtober before, but have more or less failed miserably. I have decided that blogging might be easier - and it might get me into the rhythm of regular blogging!

So this is the announcement, and I'm also calling this Blogtober #1!

Am currently watching a film and blogtober #2 will be a movie review!
Blogtober posts will also be in the form of videos since I'm doing my best to get back into the swing of things now that all the stress has settled just a little.

And, on top of that, I've decided that I can't just work all the time, every day - all day, so doing this might get me to calm down and do things for myself instead!
And this is the way I've decided to do it!

Talk to you very soon

Life update

Hey guys,

So sorry for not updating you in forever! I'm back at work and everything is super hectic! I haven't filmed a proper video since June! And no, I'm not counting my ALS video as proper. 

I have a huge pile of book that need reviewing so I'm going to get to that as soon as I can! Also have lots of ideas for tags and stuff that I want to do! So, I need to start filming stuff! 

Have some work to do, but I'm going to try and blog a little later - have a few posts planned :)

Cyprus

I'm here! I say that like I just arrived, but I've been here for a week now. It's heavenly. Pool just outside the terrace, lovely beaches with crystal clear water. Food for years and days full of relaxing and the occasional shopping. 

I am trying to remember to film vacation vlogs, but it's just that, trying to remember. I'm so relaxed that by the time I haul out my camera the moment is gone or it's time to leave wherever we are. Gaah, frustrating to the max!

I've finished reading two books so far and in contemplating filming the reviews while I'm here since they're fresh in my mind. However, I do have 4 books back home that needs reviewing first and I might forget stuff if I start reviewing my two most recent reads.

The internet down here is very limited. For €5 you get 90min of wifi and I've already used up half an hour today alone. This means that I have virtually no contact with anyone back home or anywhere else. It SUCKS and it means that I can't keep updated with anyone's life! IRL or URL! It's just very depressing. Going to do my best to remember and film things, as well as take pictures to upload once I do have wifi. 

Oh, make sure you follow me on Instagram if you don't already. That is where all of the pictures will be up since it just seems easier to do it there.

I'll probably film a collective video of the vacation when I come home - haul and all!

Now I'm going to participate in a music quiz and well probably win again. Most due to the fact that people are leaving the restaurant and that it's a leaving/arriving day at the hotel!

Catch you later

~Zandrina

14 Days

Fourteen days left. Then I'm on my way to a lovely holiday with my amazing family! But before then I have two very hectic weeks ahead of me.

Monday-Friday we have summer school at the gymnastics where I'll be coaching. On Saturday I'm traveling to Helsingborg in Sweden to attend Eurogym. It's a huge event with gymnasts from all over Europe with a week of absolute fun! We'll be performing a show twice, trying out new sports, watching other performances and meeting new people from the gymnastics world!

Coming home next Friday evening and then I have the weekend to repack and organize the last few details before we're off to Cyprus for two weeks!

I sure have an exciting month ahead of me!

Before Eurogym I need to shop some more summer clothes, workout tops and bras along with a few other necessities. So that needs to be fitted in somewhere before Friday as I'm busy all of Friday!

Now food and then I'm going to enjoy a few hours in the sun! :)

Disney Dork

Hey lovelies,

I'm currently in bed with my electric warmer and netflix on my iPad. I have a really bad stomach ache due to two separate things; Period cramps and IBS aches. 

Yes, I feel sorry for myself but I'm cheering myself up with the Disney show Jessie. Yes, it's for children. Yes, it's Disney. Do I care? Nope! It makes me feel good and I deserve it! 

I'm such a dork...

Changes

Hello dears,

I've changed a lot of things in my social media life recently. I've taken all my blogs into 1 and I've gotten myself a private instagram account.
I've been wooing over my youtube situation as I'm not uploading  as I'd want to.
Last evening I saw a video on Youtube that made me thing. Robyn Schneider, author of The Beginning of Everything, used to have a beauty channel that she didn't talk about too often and therefore not many people knew about it. I did, however, and I loved her beauty and lifestyle videos!
She is actually one of the reasons why I gathered strength to post my own beauty and lifestyle videos.
She just announced that she will continue to upload her lifestyle videos but now on her main channel instead as she is finding it stressful to have two channels and upload on the regularly. I have four channels! My beauty and book videos could easily go on my main channel and I'll just keep my follow round videos and vlogs on my second channel.
It would be like going back to basics and the way it was before the side projects came along. However, I'd still have them but on my main channel instead!
And it would be easier for me to upload videos and I'd not be as stressed out! I could possibly get one video up a week on one topic, either music, books or beauty and lifestyle! I can do my favourites in one video, combining beauty, books and randoms!

I can honestly only see positive things come out of this... How about you?

Let me know what you think of me taking all of my channels into 1, but keeping my second channel as it is? It would allow me to upload more videos and more frequently as I'm not restricted uploading a certain type of video to one channel.

Fault in our Stars.

Hello lovelies,
I uploaded a video during the week, but I never posted it on here. It's on my book channel and it's a review for The Fault in our Stars. Now... I LOVE John Green and everything that he's written so far. This book, was no different!

THE LOVE!!!! THE FEELS!!!! I cant wait for this movie!

Last weeks stress

Hello readers,

it's the last few weeks before we go on holiday and those weeks are always the most stressful.
I have reports to write, planners to fix and the last few touches are to be placed on my kiddos before I send them off to the next teacher.
Truth be told, in two weeks time I will be overjoyed that all of this is finally over.

They told me that my first year of teaching would be horribly stressful and difficult. I believed them, I just didn't realise that it would be this bad!! I've had little to no free time this past year and it's been horrible. I want to say that it'll all get better next year, but truthfully I'm not too sure about that!

I have one day off next week to get through more reports but I want to get through at least half before that day so I can do other things as well. I have currently done 2 and I have 19 to do in total. I am doing my best but it is so hard. All the IB terminology and the different documents that need to be cross-referenced while your'e writing! It's driving me a little insane!

I've managed to fall completely out of my training routine, which sucks a lot because I now have 51 day to go until my holiday. Hopefully I can keep doing a little every couple of days until June 13th which is when the kids are on holiday and we just have things to do while we're at school. This means that I'll have spare time when I come home and can work out like a crazy person!

Ok, break over - back to reports now!

Stress

You know that feeling, that no matter how many things you get done or how hard you try to catch up or be as good as people expect you to be - you never get there?
Yeah, I've been feeling that alot during the past few weeks. I hate it.
I hate feeling like this, I hate not having time for anything that I like anymore. I hate having 9 videos that I filmed lots of weeks ago and now half of them are redundant because I just say things that are in the now - and then I freaking forget about them and when I find them it's like.... Yeah, not relevant anymore....

IT SUCKS!!!

Ok, I'm done, I don't want to bore you with my life, or my patheticness... I go on Summer Holidays in three weeks time. Please make the time til then go REALLY fast and then I'll hopefully get to where I want to be.

Day 1

Oh my god, I'm in pain already!

I hated the routine but loved it all the same! I feel it in my body already! Love this rush!

Let's see if I feel the same way tomorrow when the pain kicks in! ;)

30 Day Shred

Yes reader, you read that title correctly.
I am embarking on Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred starting tomorrow. I have already started to take control of my body by working out 3 of the 4 days I've had off from work. I am in so much pain it's ridiculous. My legs hate me and that's a fact!!

However, in 78 days I will be in Cyprus, in a bikini. And usually when I have to wear a bikini I feel phycologically ill. I hate the way my body looks without clothes. I can hide under clothes and noone has to know what I look like. Bu now I've decided that this has to change.
I had a breakdown in a changing room on Friday and I decided, no more.
I'm changing my life now, and I'm starting off with something that quite frankly scares me and makes me feel pumped all at the same time. I'm going to be the fittest I've ever been when I board that flight, and I'm going to feel damn good about myself!

Talk to you tomorrow, if I'm still alive be then!

Manicure Monday

Hello lovelies! I'm doing a little segment I'm my nails today, showing not only the polishes I uses but also the routine I have when I do my nails! :)

China Glaze #572 Exceptionally Gifted • O.P.I. My Favourite Ornament

Before I applied this I used a coat of Sally Hansens Continuous Treatment in Strength and I topped it off with Sally Hansens Insta-Dri. I really like the Sally Hanses brand and can recommend to top coat to EVERYONE! 

Sally Hansen Love <3

After I've done my nails I always finish off with hand cream. Now, I happen to be obsessed with hand cream and I have 3 different tubes going at the moment. One on my night stand, one on my vanity and one in my purse at all times. The one I used today was Body Shop's Absinthe Purifying Hand Cream but I also really like Hand Food by Soap and Glory!

This is also the one the resides on my night stand as I feel this one cleanses at the same time as it moisturises! 

Hope you enjoyed this post and got some inspiration to take care of your own hands! I'll talk to you again tomorrow,

Being a teacher

Hello lovelies,

my job as a teacher is something that I love as it's happening, but I could do without all the extra bits and bobs during the weekends.
I have been filming a Get Ready With Me video this morning, and it was meant to be for filming day, but since then I've been sitting with a stack of papers that need marking. I've been reading tests and reflections and writing notes to the students.
It's just so time-consuming I guess. But hey, it has to be done. I'm done now, but still need to do the plan for next weeks lessons as well as find more resources online for my new unit. I'm just hoping I'll be finished to film the things that I wanted to film today!
I have a stack of books to review, and some beauty videos too. Sitting here, trying to figure out what I can film for my main channel as that seems to be the hardest at the moment!

Cray

Hello lovelies,

there is a site here in Sweden that specializes in selling brands and products that are hard to get hold of in Sweden. It's called craycray (not really sure why, but still) and I just placed my first ever order there. Package should get here sometime next week and I'm really excited about this!

I ordered some blushes and lip products that should be lovely to try out over the next few days. I am having some schedule difficulties with the whole blogging business. Trying to get it all under control so that i can get back to my original plan of updating. The plan still is to get one post a day and one video a week to each channel. Hoping to get the ball rolling tomorrow!

But hey, I'll keep you updated on that too I guess!

Red

Hello darlings,
I am in the middle of coloring my hair, finally! Those roots are gone!
I have just put the dye in my roots and am waiting for 20 minutes then applying it to the lenghts of my hair.
The back of my hair has turned a rusty brown hue. The kids are calling it slightly orange... It is not pretty anymore and something had to be done!

Am using the same box dye that I used last time as I bought two packets and only had to use one!
That never happens to me! If you knew how thick my hair is you'd be surprised! I have filmed the video featuring my hairdying process, but haven't edited it.. The quality is probably crap too because I filmed it on my computer, but at least I'll tell you how to acheive my glorious hair colour!

I am using the intensive toner from Directions as well, but I don't know if I'll apply that tonight or wait til next weekend.
Been doing lots of interesting research today and I am getting my youtube life in check so that I can focus on getting to where I want to be.
Also, contacted a company in Sweden for a collaboration request on my Swedish blog - so hope that I get that!

Now, I'm going to apply more colour in my hair and I'll update you later on what the result was!

Friday

Hello lovelies,

I went to work today, I regret it so much. Starting to feel really bad again. A part if me wants to curl up in my bed already, and it's just 21:25!

We're watching the Swedish version on Dancing with the Stars and some of the participants are really good!

Modern Family is coming afterwards and I actually am considering missing it and going to bed! I really hate being ill!

I did some shopping today, and I'll do a mini haul on here tomorrow since I only bought one beauty thing and it just seems stupid to make a video because of that!

We'll see if I end up staying up long enough to see Modern Family or if I end up going to bed in a little while.

Sherlock

Watching a episode of Sherlock as I fall asleep. I freaking love this show! Benedict Cumberbatch is one sexy man, and this show is amazing! John Watson is getting married and I am excited to find out what could go wrong in this episode! Oh, and Benedict is wearing a tux atm - I'm going to drool all over my computer now...

Goodnight!

Changing things up

Hello dears,

I am changing things up quite a lot and I thought I'd let you in on some of the details. This is an old blog domain that I've had for a while now, but went off it as I found wordpress-
I want to get more into blogging and being on Wordpress with, what feels like, 15 different blogs is WAY too confusing for me to handle right now. I end up not updating any of them and it just ends badly.
I have therefore decided to shut them all down and focus on ONE blog. This is where I will be posting everything, from lifestyle, fashion, beauty, books, genral updates, youtube, geekiness, nerdy things and whatever you can think of. This is where you go to read all about me. Where you go for youtube updates. Where you come to get inspired by all the things I'm up to.

I'm hoping that this will get me inspired to start blogging everyday instead of just randomly on different sites.

I'm also letting you in on a little something - I'm going to start blogging in Swedish. I've done it before, in the beginning - and I think it could be fun to start doing it again. No worries, all my videos and posts on this platform will be in English!
I'm going on an additional Swedish platform for the other fun stuff. I've been thinking about this for over a week now, and I'm going to give it a try for a year to see what happens. I'm hoping that this will, absolutely, definatley be the start of something new and exciting. Something that I will find myself sticking to. Something that will change everything. Or at least make me happy again, I'm going through some changes in my life in general and switching things up might be good for me.
