Naughty school girl?!

Well, not in a perverted way, just me being a bit of a naughty girl, drinking wine while doing my school assignments and what not. I guess it's okay, I'm doing Swedish homework which has a lot to do with writing, and writing is a creative progress, so I suppose wine should be okay.

But I'm almost done now, I'll finish the last part in the morning and will spend the rest of the night playing Mario Galaxy. Seb is out with some work friends and I didn't feel like going, so I have the apartment for myself for a bit.

Cookie monster

Today I bought three Subway-cookies, and now, I can finally have a correct opinion of which flavour is the best, and the winner is....

LIGHT WITH MARSHMALLOWS!

This was the first one of their cookies that I tasted, so I guess it's the most delicious-looking one as well as the tastiest ^_^

(The cookie in the picture of course isn't the winner, as it has chocolate chips instead of marshmallows, I didn't buy a marsi-cookie since I all ready knew what they taste like ;))

Evil Monsters

 Once again I have laundry day. I like doing that sort of thing in the morning, it feels good to have it over with. It's the same with work-outs, I always try to work out first thing in the morning. With morning-exercise you of course have the benefit of burning more fat as well. There's however one thing that I hate with doing the laundry in the morning or evenings - our basement! I'm always so convinced that there's going to be an evil laundry room monster down there who will haunt me if I don't clean up properly after myself. When I got up from there just now my heart was beating so fast, and I was like "It's okay, I'll be safe once I'm in the apartment, there's two locked doors between us then!". Is it pathetic for a 20-year-old to be scared of the dark? Well, I guess it's just as pathetic as believing your stuffed animals are real or renting over-priced Hello Kitty-movies ^_^'

Today's Coords

 My face looks a bit greasy today, I used a highlighter instead of concealer for contouring, it isn't as noticeable IRL, but I still think I prefer concealer. I don't like it when my face feels all sticky and thick with make-up >.<

Very casual outfit today, I look like a hobbit!

I woke up earlier than usual today to tan a bit, we have access to a tanning bed in our building. It's quite shabby, so it's not as luxurious as it sounds, but it's cheaper than other places and it's convenient. I know tanning makes you wrinkly and causes cancer, but I honestly NEED to tan in the winters, my skin gets messed up if I don't. I'm not really built for the dry and cold Swedish climate I guess, I should move!

After I'd gotten my face in proper place, and Seb finally had woken up, we took the car (! oh the laziness -_-) down to the station and met up an old friend of Seb's for lunch. We had such a good time, and I thought it was really funny, because it was both our Name Day's today (congratulate me!), and her boyfriend is named Sebastian as well ^_^''

When we got home I read my book for a while, and then I tried out the new Super Mario Galaxy game that Seb bought recently, it was sooo much fun and highly addictive! The game is really pretty as well, and it differs quite a lot from other games I think, but the controls were actually not as hard as I would've imagined :)

The yummy steak I had for lunch, haha! Who eats stake for lunch?!

Pupe

Aaaw look how cute my pupe looks in her school girl costume ^_^ I wanna get one for myself (before I get too old!). I wish we had uniforms in my school, don't you? Or did you? Was it as awesome as I would imagine? :D

Ps. How do I get a Pupe-gadget on my blogger?

Horray!

I'm really happy, because today the book that Seb order as a Name Day gift for me finally arrived ^_^ Actually, my Name Day isn't until tomorrow, but I was so excited over the package that he let me open it right away. The book is by a girl who runs a blog about her life in Tokyo, here (in Swedish). It's one of my favourite blogs. It isn't a gyaru blog or anything like that but I just really like her way of writing :)

Yummy pancake breakfast ^_^

I feel like such a good girlfriend when I make pancakes for my man for breakfast ^_^ I love the combination of pancakes and bacon, it's soo yummy! I was really pleased with my pancake stack today, they turned a really nice golden colour, not any icky burnt parts.

Yesterday's Coords

This is what I wore yesterday (OMG my tits look HUGE! Haha). I really liked it, even though it's quite boring with no real colour, because I LOVE colour ^_^ But it looks a bit classier with just a monotone black-white scale. I should probably have worn a necklace to this, a long silver chain with a big pendant would've looked good, I think.

Video Game Shopping

 I finally bought a new copy of Style Boutique :D

Seb spent a little more than I did, haha. Well at least we finally have a couple of Wii games :)

Day-time Coords

 We weren't doing anything special today, but I'm trying to look nice even if I'm just going to the store. There's no need for looking skanky in a pair of sweat pants, I think it's rather rude to the people you meet to not take care of yourself. No one needs to see you in greasy hair.

We were going to the video game store so I did an attempt to fit in and wore my nerd glasses.

Poll

If you look to the right, you can see that I've added a poll. I would really appreciate it if you could share your opinion with me, in order to make this blog better.
  Check "Long posts" if you like the posts to be mostly text, "Short posts" if you like me to post pictures with little text (most pictures I post will be ones that I've taken myself as I don't want to be guilty of theft). Or "Mixture" if you like the way I post now.

Two days in a row

 Yesterday was spent cleaning for most of the time, I had to work as well but luckily I had someone to take over the last hour as I was going out to dinner. It was Seb's brothers birthday, and at first we went bowling. The first round went really well on my behalf, I actually had the highest scores of all the girls (me, Seb's mum and Seb's brothers girlfriend) at some point, but the two rounds after that I came in last, haha!

After bowling we went to a restaurant and had dinner, I had some grilled meat and veggies with french fries, so much for getting rid of my tummy, right? But it was sooo good and totally worth it, even though I felt like exploding after wards.

When we got home we drank some wine and had ice cream, and when it was sleepy-time I rented some Hello Kitty-movies, poor Seb!

Today's Coords

 I did a really simple outfit today, my only demand was "something that covers my fat!". I've felt as though I've become chubby recently. At first I thought it was just a big belly from eating, but I realized it's actually fat so I need to be a bit more careful about what I put in my mouth. Mostly I just need to not pig out in the afternoons just because I'm bored, but also control my portion sizes. Oh well, that's not what this post is about.

Rundown:

Turban-scarf: Stole it from my mother 

Stole: H&M (also stolen from mommy ^_^)

Top/Dress: H&M

Leather Jacket: Saints & Mortals

Ankle boots: Nilson

 I've been cleaning all day, and did sort of a "Mode Turban" to keep the hair out of my face. I know that my outfit isn't Mode, but I really liked it, I felt pretty in it. I've been thinking about getting more into Mode style, but I want to use cute and childish clothes for as long as possible, I feel that Mode is more like Onee and something that I will transfer into later.

Strawberry Graffiti

Today I tried out one of my new graffiti nail polishes, I used the pink one over a raspberry pink bottom. I think it turned out really nicely, at first I was sceptical because "one should never mix red and pink", and the under-colour is quite red-ish, but now they've grown on me.

Last night

 Our plans yesterday was to just stay home and clean and sort out things, our apartment is a total mess right now, there's not even any place to eat! Anyways, a friend of Seb's called and asked if we should use our bowling certificate, and suddenly we were in a new kind of hurry! As we have mommy and daddy's car at the moment we drove down to the station so that Seb could buy some sushi, I thought I ought to spend the little time we had getting ready instead of eating, so I only had two pieces. It's very rare for me to turn down sushi, haha!

When I finally were ready we took the car once again and went to pick up our friends, Seb didn't drink anything in order to be our designated driver, which was great because I didn't have to pack any ballerina flats in my purse. I think this is the first time I came home from a night out without any foot ache, haha!

The bowling went really well for me this time, I usually suck really, REALLY bad. Like I get 9 gutter balls and two pins down. Yesterday I got a down a lot of them, but most of all; I did a strike! Seb were away for such a long time to order us some milkshakes, and becaus we wanted the game to go on I bowled for him. At first I did a gutter ball, but on my other try I got down every pin! I did it all for love ^_^

Anyhow, I had SUCH a great time yesterday. The place we went to is called Marion's Gastro and is located on Kungsgatan in Stockholm, I can really recommend it. They have a restaurant as well, we ate there a couple of weeks ago and the food was really good as well, and their cocktails are awesome! They have these milkshake-cocktails, and I personally think that theirs are better than Friday's. The bowling isn't great though, we had some problem with our lane last time, but the atmosphere is really cool!

Yesterday's Coords

I'm sorry for the poor picture quality, I just really wanted to show of what I wore yesterday! I really like this outfit, very cute and appropriate for bowling in a '50s-styled diner, I think. I was in a bit of a hurry, and I didn't want to leave people waiting so I laid all my focus on make-up and then just did a high pony-tail with some volume. I guess it's better to focus on one thing if you don't have time to put a lot of effort in to both hair and make-up.

Stressful Day

 We went over to my parents house today in order to borrow their car. The tree on their back yard (is it called a back yard if the live in an apartment building? ^_^') had turned a really lovely red colour. This tree has sakura blossoms in the spring, so wonderful! Sakura is my favourite flower ^_^

 Hihi, mommy and daddy's car look like a toy car next to that monstrosity.

 Seb stole my pilots 'cause he needed them while he drove, but luckily I find my mothers sweet glasses. Doesn't I look super-fast?

 After doing some errands we went to the new mall, I remembered to take pictures this time! It's so cool, but it looks a bit off when all the interior is so new and sleek and then you still have that flight hangar ceiling.

 They have some stores that I don't usually visist, like Oasis and Warehouse, but I actually found some cute stuff at both stores! I always thought Oasis was kind of like a store where you would buy prom dresses and stuff, but they had everyday wear as well.

Escalator with cool, round lights.

 Make Up Store, I really like their make-up! Some Swedish pride right there ;)

 Haha, she had such a funky outfit on, I just had to take her picture!

 Crazy, high heeled gladiator shoes. I can't decide if they're hideous or awesome, but I'm leaning towards awesome ^_^

 I have such sweet dreams about owning real, brand Uggs, haha ^_^

 Is it weird that I'm an ophidophobic and still thinks snake print is super-cute?

 I really like those gray ankle boots, they look similar to a pair from Acne, but a more wallet-friendly ;D

More cool lights :D

Lovely Morning

 I had such a lovely morning today. At first I woke up at 8 am as usual. I didn't feel like taking a walk, so I skipped it. I think I've walked enough when I went to the mall anyway! I studied for a bit and read a chapter in the book I'm reading at the moment (George Orwell's 1984, I really like it so far!). At about 9.45 I felt bit tired and went back to bed and fell asleep, and when I woke up my sweet boyfriend was just about to set up breakfast in front of a crispy fresh episode of South Park! It's usually me who makes breakfast, as I'm the one who's a bit of an early bird, but I was really happy to have it done for me for a change!

I think it's kind of funny, because when it's my birthday, naturally I get breakfast in bed (this year I got a sundae, yum!), but I still wake up an hour before Seb, so I just have to lay in bed and pretend-sleep until he comes in to the room and sings "Happy Birthday", haha ^_^

Lunch of Today

Today I had some pasta with fried chicken for lunch, at first I didn't feel like eating anything real just because there was a lot of dish, but I realized I had to do them sooner or later anyhow, and you gotta eat! 

I've realized that I need to look over my meals a bit, I don't want to go on a diet and say I can't eat this or that, because I know from experience that it wont work for me. Denying myself the food I want will just make me depressed and if I say I can eat it on the weekends that just means that I will totally pig out then. What I need to do is just basically eat more often but smaller quantities, for example the half-bowl I ate for lunch today. Normally I would eat an entire bowl even though it would make me queasy, just because it tastes so good. But if you eat more often you don't have to eat big portions for that reason, because you will experience a new, good taste the next time you'll get hungry!

I'm not really looking to lose any weight, I don't weigh myself and it's not important to me. I just want to have a more healthy and balanced diet so I wont gain any weight. Also I really want to have a good routine of taking daily walks and do some sit-ups in the morning.

What's your diet/exercise routine?

24th of September - Checking out my next door mall!

So, yesterday was the premier of the new mall that is oh-so-close to my home. I got my salary today so I decided to go check it out, and buy some things that I were in desperate need of! The mall was really big, the area were it's located (it's were I usually shop for groceries) is an old airplane hangar, it's right next to Bromma Airport. I was happily surprised that there were a lot of odd stores there, usually suburban malls gets so trashy, but this place had a lot of more expensive stores, and they didn't have a Gina Tricot which is a good sign in my opinion.

 I bought some new bras, I think I've been gaining some weight recently, but only in my boobs haha, so I guess it's not too bad. I really like the floral patterned one, so I got matching panties as well ^_^

 And I finally got Blondinbellas new book, haha. And if y'all playa' hatin' y'all can go fudge ya'self ;D

 I bought some new nail polish from IsaDora, "Graffiti Nails", the result seems to be really cool so I'm excited for the next time I'm gonna do my nails!

 And can you imagine my happiness when I noticed that my favourite tea shop were selling macarons?! They sold fancy chocolate as well, so I'm really excited!

 After I was done experiencing the mall I went to Systembolaget and bought some wine. We usually by boxes and not bottles, so I was a bit clueless of what to buy. Seb had told me to get a bottle that was around 80 SEK, so I finally decided on this one simply because it had a kangaroo on the label. The wine I usually buy is featuring a crocodile, so I figured you can't go wrong with animals ^_^

If only Systembolaget could start importing Hello Kitty wine, I wouldn't have this problem!

 I found these cheap nerd glasses and decided I had to have them! It's not exactly the kind I want, but I think they're pretty cute.

I also bought some hair dye and dyed my hair a bit darker. It probably isn't very noticeable to other people, I was just bothered with the way my hair looked a bit washed out, I also prefer a colour that is more brown than reddish brown. The hair dye I use is called L'oreal Casting Crème Gloss, and I can definitely recommend it! I've been using it for quite some time, and It's great because it doesn't mess up your hair quality too much (my hair just got a little messed up before when it was super-dry) but it still makes a lot of difference on your hair.

Time is passing fast

It's amazing how it's all ready the end of September. It feels like it was the end of August recently. It really is fall now, and I really love watching the leaves changing. I have a certain route I walk every morning, and some of the trees I pass are so red you wouldn't even believe it!

There are a lot of changes in my neighbourhood which I am quite excited about, they're building up a completely new residential area right across the street from our apartment, and the place we're we usually shop for groceries will now expand with a shopping mall! This is great, because there aren't any good stores down by the train station, so even if I want the tiniest thing I still have to go into town, it's quite a big re-adjustment for someone who use to live right in the city.

But in one way it can be bit dangerous to have clothing stores so nearby, I don't want to become one of those people who say they're going in to town and then just walks to the closest shopping mall. There will always be better stores in town, suburban shopping malls are just for lazy days and emergencies!

Haha, I didn't really have anywhere to go with this post, just my random thoughts I guess. I might check out that mall tomorrow anyhow, I think they opened today, and tomorrow is my favourite day of the month: Payday! I always say that I'm going to hold on to my money until next month have started, but I only think I've been able to keep that promise twice, lol ^_^

Red Lips

I tried on some red lipstick just for fun, do you think it's bad, or normal?
