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!

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 !

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

...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 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.

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.
