Smile

Feeling gray, white and dull this winter? Light it up with Crest White Strips, your teeth gets whiter after 3 days. My dentist has told me that has not hurt me teeth at all, so don't be afraid:) I would recommend trying Premium the first time, and maybe upgrade to Premium Plus the next time you do it. So go ahead and try it, if you haven't already.

Everybody say smile!

YOU can die... if you continue with this

What kind of shampoo are you using? Does it contain sodium laureth sulphate or sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS) ? It probably does. This is not good for you at all; it dries out your skin, and not least your hair. This is the same thing that is used in washing detergent to make the bubbles... (...Like Zalo, and Yes, for you scandinavians...) this is what makes your hands dry after you've finished the dishes.

PLEASE, stop this. Find an SLS-free shampoo.

 

These are my favorites: Bed Head Superstar and Burts Bees Shampoo (different types)

PS: This is in toothpaste too, check it, it can in long term give you poor teeth. I know Zendium is SLS free.

AND, even though you aren't noticing any irritating or dryness, doesn't matter, cause in the long term it will make you less healthy, and less hydrated.

Dinner and wine with Nicky Boy tonight :) It's been too long!

One hell of a good night i New York with Nicky Boy in 2008! one of those late nights in meatpacking...

MUST HAVE - A collection of my personal necessities

1. For Lips: Eight Hour Cream, Elizabeth Arden
No words needed, it speaks for itself... Especially this cute little original box, limited edition.

2. Rouge:  Powder Blush: 15 Orchid Rose & 53 Turbulent, Chanel
Can't be measured with anything else, anyone who has tried it knows what I mean. 53 Turbulent, flashing fuschia is also cool, but Orchid Rose is more discrete.

3. Eyeliner:  Artliner, Lancome (putting it on has never been easier...)

4. Foundation: Bare Minerals, ID (this is very individual, but for my skin it works perfectly)

5. Concealer:  Touche d'eclat, YSL
The best...

6. Lipstick:  Rouge Allure 14 Passion, Chanel
Dazzling red, stays on for a longer time and is not too much either...

MOVING ON....
When it comes to Mascaras I'm not really sure whats my favorite, at least not Chanel... Perhaps Lancome or Dior's.
Avoid Chanel mascaras, 4 eye shadows

Nailpolish however: YSL and L'oreal have the best ones and longest lasting... HOWEVER, Chanel has the freshest colors, but doesn't stick as long as I would like.

And Lipgloss, I've lost counting Estee Lauder is pretty good, and I like ModelCo

Everyone that's not too hung up pricy-pricy haircut prices should definitely go to Klippoteket i Göteborg. 2 for 1. All I needed was a hair cut - they made me happy..
For what its worth, I am actually much more satisfied with this 225 SEK hair cut than the 495 SEK that I got last time...

Nooow, what should I do tonight. The plan was actually to make homemade pizza and play Finansspelet with A and C, but rein check there. However, Morten Kolek, my beloved Drammen's friend is i Göteborg, maybe a beer with him and catch up and talk about the good old days....

Martin, Linn & Morten on a good day! 

Its the last day of the weak week, and I am sooo ready for weekend! After work I am going with my colleague to a 2 for 1 haircut (hope its good) ... I just hate paying 400-500 SEK for a haircut, so let's try something new!

Had plans to see the new movie Snabba Cash, (see trailer) but its full on the movies throughout the whole weekend, mabye next weekend? 

Army Training KILLS

I just found my new work out method which actually kills! ....In a good way.
ARMY TRAINING, on Sportlife, is just horrible, I must have had max pulse more than 10 times in an hour. Its interval x 10, pushups with a twist, and everything else with a twist...

Its now almost 48 hours since I was at army training, and I still have trouble moving in a normal way!

Can't wait till next wednesday!

Gossip girl

My UGGS were stolen at Sportlife, where I work out... This girl that I am accusing for taking them obviously had some lookalike-uggs-but-with-no-sheepfur-but-only-fake-synthethic-300kr-uggs in the same sz as me , so she decided to take mine instead... Well, I want new Uggs!

Kitchen Dilemma !

Source: Allabeslag.se



I am looking for knobs for the cabinets in the kitchen, which one could believe to be a little easier than what we're actually making out of it.... But, it's important to choose the right ones, afterall I'm hopefully going to spend some time in the kitchen....  What do you think?

Viva la Bows

This sweater is definitely on my wish list - from Romeo & Juliet Couture

Some photos from Aug - Rhodos 09

...We try to match each other the best we can with glasses

 

....Help me, I' m trapped, and can't really see the open door..

 

I miss the sun, I miss Celcius +. Right now it's about -11 C in Göteborg, so I will not be stepping out of the apartment untill I really really need to, but that just gives me time to do things that needs to be taken care of...

By the way, my new years resolution(s) is: cycle to work 4/5 days (some times the weather is quite a challenge, not often, but the last couple of days for instance has been) AND work out 4 times at Sportlife per week. So far I am doing just fine, except for thursday and friday when I took the bus .... But I'm not worried, I will soon, with a little bit of patience, be fit, like I used to be... Next up, Body Combat at Sportlife tomorrow at 11:30.

more redecorating

I just have to show you these beautiful cushions! hand made in england! This lady makes several different patterns, my favorite however is the Union Jack :) If you want to know more, I'll give you her contacts...

And this is the wallpaper I was longing for at the kitchen, it will perfectly match the "ståt vit" kitchen ... Yes, it will.

Something in the style of this one...

GÖTT i GOT

A lot have happened the last months; I have moved to Göteborg, bought my first apartment, and have started in a new job in finance and fx-spot market.

We just started redecorating the place, and it's a lot more work than anticipated, but it's fun fixing and working with the apartment. At the moment we're putting in a new floor in the bedroom, new wallpapers in every single room, and lastly a whole new kitchen. It's gonna cost, but it's worth it!

The hall

The bedroom

And tomorrow we're going wood floor shopping!!

Lofoten

I miss my boyfriend , and I miss my friends so much. I have never in my entire life been so asocial in such amount of time. It feels like I am stuck here, and time stands still. Its gray outside, and the rain keeps falling down from time to time, often several times a day… Where is the sun? Damn weather forecasters…

PS: I have no numbers in my NOR-sim card – call me. I still have the same number! That goes for you too Miami girl …

Flickan som lekte med elden

After reading the most exciting book of my entire 22-year old life – which ends with even more curiosity and even more questions that I need answers to. How could it end like that! The most thrilling part…

I cant wait for the next and third part of this trilogy – ”Stieg Larsson – Luftslottet som sprängdes. ”

You may think I’ve had a dull summer, and you may be right. In the last days of June I finished ”Män som hatar kvinnor” – and now I just finished the second part ”Flickan som lekte med elden”. However, what really bugs me is that I want the last book and you cant get it here – because I am in the middle of nowhere, and I would guess that they don’t have it in the original language, which is a necessity.

I’m afraid I would have to wait 9 more days until I get to Göteborg. I am seriously counting the days.

…In this godforsaken land I am in..

What to do

After 3 years I finally have a BBA. Now what to do?

This year, I want to travel, learn a new language, a get a job relevant to my education.

I know this, I dont want to live in Norway, and I am not starting on a masters degree, at least not this year.

Paris is tempting.... Brussel.... Göteborg, a trip to New York, and maybe a sunny vacation on a Greek Island...

I want to do it all.

Parlez vous Francais ? Oui, Oui....

July 12th - still living the simple life

The most sweetest friend of mine, Ida Christine, came to visit at Lofoten today. Havent seen her in too long, which we decided to change from nowon! I am seeing you soon IDA!!

The weather today was "real summer temperature", it was even so hot that Ida and me decided to go for a swim in the sea. Which I assume was about 10-12 C. REFRESHING!! It was bitter cold, but nice to cool off in the sun... And now I have checked that on my list of things to do here.

"When you want to finish of with something wise, there is always someone that has already said it better."

Living the simple life - in Lofoten Islands

I’m sorry i haven’t updated my blog; it’s been too long. Almost a month!

I have now left New York, and is currently in the north of the far north of Norway, working at a camping site for my father, so I’m staying here till the end of July. The last couple of weeks in NY were all too busy, and stressful, with work, exams and packing everything. By the way, I had to pay overweight when flying home, fucking unnecessary $ 85.

Well, I know my blog was suppose to be about New York, and whatever the surroundings, but that chapter is done, finito. However, my plan is to continue updating on my blog, pretty much stuff about me, and my super exciting life, and what in it that inspires me.

Nevertheless, right now, my location is Lofoten Islands, Norway. It’s the most beautiful place on earth; surrounded by big and divine mountains, white beaches and green sea.
How tremendous this might sound, its exceptionally boring (from time to time), and I’m not a big complainer.

It’s not that it’s so horrible; it’s just that I’m in the middle of nowhere, and few friends here, and did I mention no Internet? I have to bicycle 4 km to the library where they have broadband… I really miss my blackberry :(

BUT, there are loads of interesting people here from over 30 nationalities, and yesterday, one of our guests was a 70 year old Schweitzer-man which had been bicycling all the way from Switzerland to Lofoten, which I would presume is about 40 000 km maybe? IMPRESSING.

Cirque du Soleil

KOOZÅ was fantastic! Spectacular! I have never in my life seen anything like this! Sorry, couldnt take any pictures inside, but its definitely worth going to the show!!
Also, it was the 25 year anniversary, so we all got clown noses to put on at the end of the show :P

Bjorn Borg Swedish Exports Party in Soho

"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."
William Shakespeare

Steamy New York

Last night was one of those nights...
Bemelmans Bar first out, a great place to relax with live classic music, but boring, we needed some more, so we headed to Apotheke which was crowded, but great! and hot...
We finished the lovely summer night with a after party in East Village at a rooftop just listening to music and dancing the night away :))

...I guess it was the atmosphere, the city, and the people! Great Night!!

French Sole

For long now, I have been searching for the perfect ballet flats. I have this picture in my head, but can't seem to find them anywhere I go! And, since I threw my old favorites I am in desperate need of some new one! What is a girl without here shoes...?

Anyway, while strolling around at upper east side I saw a boutique with all the ballet flats you can dream of! It's a tiny store, but obviously they are huge, and sell all over the world. They're called fs/ny or french sole NY and are located at 71st Street at Lexington Ave

LOST

Is lost gone? Is this it?
I would miss LOST, but, if they decided to continue, I cant seem to come up with where the story would go, or even begin, if you know what I mean?

I love it loud!

Yes, looks very cool and expensive right? This is H&Ms Divided exclusive. Coming out soon!
I want! I want!

Credit cards in a nutshell...

You guys... you think you are so clever, but really, you are not at all.
Yes it's you I am talking about.

You're the one with -5% savings, maxed all your credit cards, buys an SUV that is especially manufactured for the USA so that it pollutes a bit more than it would do anywhere else in the world. Soon, you will be thrown out of your house, living in the streets or in a tent somewhere.

I don't feel sorry for you, not at all.

And in addition, you take up a sub prime mortgage that you really can't afford because of your bad credit score. Smart, really smart. Didn't you think that this would affect the rest of the world? In a nutshell: it seems as though you don't know what money is. Money is not credit, credit is not money. Credit is money you don't have. Get it? It's probably going to take some time before you realize this, but we will give you time. I guess we have to.

This makes me think of a promotional offer I got on a salon on 5th Ave for a cheap buck. Of course they want us to spend more than the little I had already paid for my hair cut, so the hair dresser nearly forces me to take highlights in my hair, when I say I can't afford it for the third time, she says: "Why don't you just put it on your credit card?" .... WHAT IS THIS COUNTRY. When I can't afford it, I can't afford it.

bye bye shoes

I AM SOOO SAD!
I have now done the mature choice of throwing my silver ballerina flats in the trash! They have been my beloved favorite flats forever! (...well, not forever, that would be kind of disgusting)

They have been part of a lot of fun during their life time... like here, with mr. borat next door.

Now... a moment of silent.

Red Sox vs. Yankees

For the very first time, I watched a baseball match.
It was red sox against the yankees - and man was it boring.
Can they even call it a sport? They just stand there throwing a ball and every
five minute someone gets to run over the field, and you know what?

After he's finished running for 1 round they send in another guy to substitute him. Aren't they in better condition than that?

I'm actually not very surprised, the americans aren't known for being a very athletic
people. Actually, this was the first time I have ever in my life seen a player chewing
bubble gum and making bubbles when he's out on the field. Never have I seen this
before, it was really unprofessional.

Now, this is suppose to be one of USAs sports, and they have to import
Japanese players to survive because the americans aren't good enough?
Good. Great. What's next - you being the reason were in a global economic crisis?
