Grand Theft YouTube

 I would like to give you some tips on how to "steal" things you like from YouTube. As you may know, I don't have any internet at my apartment down here, so when I wanted to learn how to dance ParaPara, I needed to get the videos down on my computer for off line-usage. I use a program called "Download Helper", which you can download here. I think this is legal, it says on the site that it's sponsored by YouTube and other well-known sites, and it was my computer teacher in high school who told me about it in the first place. The videos will be download like an Adobe Movie-file, so I guess you have to have Adobe installed on your computer for it to work.

Another site that I love, is Mp3-ify, where you can make YouTube-videos that you like into mp3-files. I guess I'm the only one who find use in this these days, because I'm the only one who prefers iTunes over Spotify, lol. But Spotify doesn't have everything, now has it?
Anyways, all you have to do is paste in the URL to the movie that you like, and then quickly download it to your computer. Tadaaaa!

Happy Morning

Today I started of my morning with some ParaPara to this video:

I suppose it's pretty basic and simple.
I always try to schedule all my working out in the morning, I find you'll benefit the most from it; it kick-starts your metabolism, you'll get an energy boost and you don't have to worry too much about not getting enough exercise that day.
Not like I would say that I work out hard or anything, but I'm trying to fit 30-60 minutes of exercise into my schedule each day. It's fun to have different things to do, so you don't get bored. I prefer "girly" sports, like swimming, running, powerwalking, dancing, yoga etc. What's important is to find something that you enjoy doing, otherwise it will just feel like a chore.

Today's Coords

 I drew my eyeliner more towards my nose today, I really like that look, the reason I don't do it too often is because I feel as though it get smudged out too easily.

 I know this isn't a good picture, I just wanted to show off my hair properly. I just wanted some volume, but I don't think this hair style goes with my clothes, it's too "made", I need more natural hair to go with my boho-chic style.

This is one of my favourite dresses, I love how it looks and its details, but I hate how it behaves! Every time I wear this I'm bound to show of something, either it's my bra or my butt X___X

Booo, you whores!

Naah, sorry about that, you're not whores.
I'm just sad that I'm not getting any comments, it totally brings me down.
Maybe I'm not doing posts that are easy to comment on, or maybe I'm just not any interesting, but it would really help me if you would share your thoughts with me.
Like tell me what kind of posts you want me to do? Do you think I should restrict my posting to only doing posts about interesting things, and not everyday stuff?
Not having a dialogue with my readers bums me out.

Cravings

I feel as though my blog is really boring right now, or ... most of the time X__X I wish I would update my Coord's more often, because I want my blog to be more fashion-oriented. It's just that I don't dress very nice at all right now, and I feel like I've "used up" all the possible Coords that I can do with what I have. But I will buy some new accessories soon, hoping it will make the wardrobe I have more interesting!

Anyways, I found this super-cute online store yesterday, and I thought I could post about what kind of clothes I would like to have the most right now.

 This is so cute! I really want this because it's something that I can't find in Sweden, and because it's kind of like "new and exciting". I'd feel brave wearing this with confidence, because there's a big chance I would look really childish in something like this.

 I absolutely love this style! It's really simple, but has some cute details (like the fringe) that makes it unique and stand out, I love stuff like that. I also love this way of coordinating; bare legs with tan boots, so beautiful!

Aaaw, these are the cutest! And I love it because it's not to pricey, and you get both the jacket and the skirt. It would've been so cute doing a twin-coord like this, don't you think? ^_^

I really like this site, however, I'm not sure if they actually sell authentic Japanese brands, but I still really like the designs! As you may have guessed I'm in love with the style of the brand Liz Lisa, but am having trouble finding suitable clothes in Sweden (and this is why I don't dress that way myself). I will definitely place an order in the future ^_^

Lunch + Shopping

 We went out for lunch down by the harbor, at a restaurant called "Seagull". It's a real restaurant at night, but now they had a lunch menu with lower prices, so I think we will be going there a lot in the future, because the food were a lot better than other places I think. I ordered a Caesar salad and Seb had baby kalamari (octopus). This was the best Caesar salad I had so far, what I really liked was that the salad contained of cucumber and tomatoes more than lettuce, 'cause I don't like lettuce and it's hard to eat as well. Also, you got to pour the dressing on yourself which I liked because if they've poured it on beforehand you wont know how much it is.

 After we had lunch we went to Debenhams and I browsed around for a bit. I'm disappointed, they didn't have any nice clothes at all. There's an Oasis in the Debenhams, but they only seem to have like Plus Size-clothes >.< I think they have some more talent in Old Town though, thank God! Although, I wasn't suppose to be shopping down here :$

Anyways, I bought a Top Coat from O⋅P⋅I

After we'd been to Debenhams and done some grocery shopping, we went to my beloved Body Shop. I bought a Sweet Lemon Scrub, a Cocoa Body Butter and a new concealer. I love Body Shop here because it's sooo much cheaper than in Sweden. You get a Body Butter here for like 9€ instead of 22€, awesome! 

Whenever I'm at Body Shop I always get envious of people who have "Normal Skin" because they have so much more flavours to choose from, I have "Very Dry Skin" so there's only like three different ones that I can choose :(

Care Package

Today I finally received a care package from my dad, I've been waiting for so long for this, I haven't been able to do any homework without it!

 I got a bunch of books; dramas and such, that I'm going to read for my Swedish B-course.

But most importantly, I got what all Swedes misses when they go out of the country: Licorice! I don't get how people in other countries can't like this, it's the best candy ever!

Yesterday's Dinner

We woke up right before we had to go to work yesterday, so we didn't have any time to eat at home, and we didn't have any money to buy proper food at the kiosk by work either. I was SO hungry when we finally got of work and could go out and eat, it turned out that Seb had 20€ left in his account. I had a rouqfort salad and Seb had some kind of seafood pasta, delicious! On the way home we bought some milk and Oreos for dessert, yum! I just love Oreos.

Today we finally get new money and wont have to be poor no longer, yay!

New Nails: Fruit Salad!

I did these nails yesterday. I've used a light green colour on every other nail, and a peach-coloured one on the rest, and then I've used cream white on the tips, so it's kind of like a mixed up french manicure. When adding the fruit I just tried to fit as many pieces as possible on each nail. I think these nails are really cute and fun, but they are also the hardest ones I've ever worn! I couldn't sleep tonight because I was so afraid to brake of some pieces in my sleep ;___;

I think my nails are at their absolute longest length ever right now, it has come to a point where I'm having trouble doing the most basic things. That aside, I love this length! Nothing makes me feel more glamorous and feminine than really long nails. I want to start doing acrylic to achieve something like this:

I'm not sure my boyfriend is going to be too happy about it though, but I'm absolutely IN LOVE with the thinness and length of these.

Guest Coords

Seb wanted to show off his idea of the latest fashion for men, presenting: Wool Socks and Flipflops! My boyfriend is such a fashionisto ^__^

My●Weekend

We had killer good day on Thursday and went out to celebrate. Me and Seb said we would have one drink each, but, well... that didn't happen haha ^_^' Sometimes it's not so good when the drinks are only 3€ ...

In the picture I'm drinking the most awesome drink ever, it tasted just like an ice cream I used to eat when I was a kid!

 On Friday we went down to the harbor to eat our sorrows away (we also swam in the ocean ^_^).

 Haha, no, I'm not having cocktails for breakfast, it's a healthy and delicious smoothie :)

I had a Caesar salad and Seb had a very Italian pizza. After we had lunch we went to the store and bought food, I made lasagna and later that night we had the bartender from the night before over for dinner. When he had to go to work we followed him there and ended up drinking for a bit on Friday as well. I was NOT happy about that on Saturday, haha. But at least we had a good time! 

On Saturday we basically just stayed in all day. At night we went to the kiosk and bought rice and soy sauce for our last money, I hate being poor! >.< I couldn't be happier that it's pay day tomorow!

Recipe: Oven fish with veggies and halloumi

When we went to the store today to buy lunch I was absolutely clueless of what to buy, so I came out with a green lemon (Greek for lime? O_o) and some frozen fish. My plan was to basically fry the fish and squirt some lemon juice over it. But when I got home I felt like being more ambitious than that.

Since the fish was frozen, Seb though it would be better to make it in the oven. I don't remember what the fish was called, but it was some kind of substitute for cod. After putting it in the pan, I pour lots of olive oil, sea salt and pepper over it. After that I chopped of some veggies of my choice and sprinkled them over the fish. I chose to use mushrooms, carrots, red onion and garlic, but any yummy veggies will do! (Maybe not cucumber, it's not very good when it's hot, is it? ^_^).

I let it sit in the over for maybe 20-something minutes before taking it out. While it's been in the oven I prepared and chopped up a piece of halloumi cheese in nice little pieces. Sprinkled the halloumi over the fish and veggies, and let it sit in the oven for about 10 more minutes. The cheese should become a little tan, then you know it's ready! After taking it out I squirted some lemon juice over it, aaaand... done!

Oh, right! The oven should be turned to about 200°C :)

New Header

As you can see I've just added a new header to my blog. I'm aware that it doesn't go very well with the rest of my design, but I still think that it adds more personality. I like the overall look of the header though, so maybe i should change the background for something more suiting instead! I'm quite proud that I sort of figured out how to make diamond borders around the text, even though they look more like really sparkly pearls, haha ^_^

What's your opinion? Is this so hideously ugly that you'll never visit my blog again, or do you think you can live with it?

Rich Girl

Yay! My Pupe girl has finally reached 2000 ribbons ^____^ Now I feel like shopping...

Happy Happy Happy!!

Oooh, I'm so happy right now, 'cause I just placed an order on honeycolor.com for a pair of huge, blue circle lenses! I also threw in a pair of awesome fake lashes ^_^ I've had a hard time finding any falsies here, and since Honey Color had such cheap ones, I had no reason not to order them! 

It was just yesterday that I logged into my bank to check my balance, and I found out that I had more money than expected. I'm in luck too, because the USD is really low at the moment (below 7SEK!), so the order was actually much cheaper than when I've just ordered circle lenses from Sweden, awesome :D

I just hope there wont be any trouble with the postal service here in Cyprus, I'm to understand that it can be a bit so-so, but I guess we'll find out in about two weeks ^_^ 

Are you guys interested in me reviewing the lenses when I get them?

Recent Meals

 I was a regulation cooking mama yesterday, I had my bandana on and a glass of wine in my hand. 'Cause we all no you can't be a good chef without alcohol.

 I made oven veggies with halloumi cheese, delicious! They have great halloumi here, if you buy it over the counter. You can get a kilo for like 6€, so awesome! I think I'm gonna try a "local foods diet", and base my meals on veggies, Greek cheese (halloumi and feta), olives/olive oil and sometimes fish or chicken. Cheap and healthy, perfect!

 For breakfast this morning I had a banana and a bowl of corn, I drank my slimming down-tea and read a take out-menu. It left me with massive Chinese food-cravings, but when we were about to order they had all ready gone on Siesta (15 minutes too early, rat bastards!). I cried a river and didn't want any food in my rumbling belly :(

But then I changed my mind and we ordered pizza, I was super-hungry so I threw myself over it and over-ate like two pieces :( I still feel bad about it, I'm not even too crazy about pizza >.<

Should I make posts about what I eat throughout the day, or is it totally boring and lame?

Today's Coords

 Haha, sorry for pic-spamming you, I just like the way I look today, and felt as though I should post pictures without glasses as well so that you can see my make-up, which I'm really pleased with today! I feel like I actually look gal, for the first time in ages! At least when it comes to hair and make. Since I don't have my curler with me I guess it would be smartest to always keep my hair up, but I'm gonna pick the curler up when I go back to Sweden this Christmas!

I went for a total nerd-look today; Star Wars-tee and nerd glasses ;) The weather wasn't too nice today, so I drew a sun on the pic to create some feeling hehe ^_^

Nerd glasses: Cubus

Soon there wont be any point in posting rundowns, 'cause you will know the small closet I've brought all ready, haha ^___^'' *sadface*

Today's Coords

 Today I wore a black maxi dress with a white blouse over, I don't like this dress by itself, it's really poor quality and the fabric doesn't fall very good. 

Rundown

Bandana: Stole it from my mum ;)

Necklaces: Accessorize, Playboy

Blouse: Vintage

Dress: Gina Tricot

Sandals: DinSko

I haven't wore make-up since Saturday, so it felt good to put my face on properly today. I went to work earlier than usual, so my hair was still wet from my morning swim and I didn't have time to do anything about it. I kind of like my natural waves, but it would've been nice if I at least could've added some volume.

YamYam ^___^

 Yesterday, once again I bought an unhealthy snack, I just can't help myself! Who can resist something like this, anyway? The package is just so super-cute! This candy is basically Pocky, but you get to dip the bread sticks in candy cream yourself, which makes it funner! I'm actually not to found of Pocky though, especially not the strawberry kind, but I just couldn't resist the cute package!

What I liked best was that the bread sticks had very informative writing on them, facts about animals. Did you know that Star+Fish = Starfish? Blew my mind!

Mr Pickles!

 This is my cat that I call Mr.Pickles. She's so cute, she always follows me down to the pool and watches me while I swim, and when I want to get up to our apartment she walks before me to lead the way ^_^ It's too bad though, because you're not allowed to feed or pet these cats, but I'm trying to convince Seb that we should. Just one cat, pleeeease?

This is the fat mama-cat, I shoo her off the porch cause I don't want her to get too comfortable and have her babies on it ;_____;

Aaaaaw, such a sleepy-head ♥
