My favorite beauty products

2012-07-28T21:18:00.000+02:00

I haven't made a beauty post in forever so I decided I should do one now. It's probably about time. I have been really lazy with my blogging lately, I really don't know why. I always have ups and downs in my blogging, but now back to my fave beauty products.
My fave beauty products summer 2012 in random orders.

I use this cream everyday for both night and day. I love it

1. One of my favorite products this summer is this skin cream. I usually get dry skin in my face, especially around my forhead. Isn't that a weird place to get dry skin? This cream help me maintain a good skin, I hardly ever have breakouts and if I get pimples this cream helps me to get rid of them fast.

2. The second product I love is this eye cream from clinque. I absolutely love it, I've used it for years. I buy a new one the moment the "can" is finishes. I'm getting older each day and I know that it's important to take extra good care of the skin around my eyes.

3. This is my newest discovery. I bought it on the airport on my way to Stockholm. It smells amazing. I highly recommend it.

4. Normally I'm not a color person, but this color from essie is fantastic. I keep looking at my nails. The color is amazing and the color stays on for like 14 days.

5. The fifth product is this mascara from chanel. It makes my lashes look more fuller and bigger than they really are. I don't know the name of the mascara because it doesn't say.

It's finally friday again. Today I've had such a bad energy level today, but I got some great news today. I'll keep you updated.

This weekend I'm going to spend some time with friends on saturday, and maybe some family time on sunday. I also wanna talk a hiking trip.

I wish I had more money so that I could do some shopping. I need some new clothes and I really wanna buy some new stuff for my appartment.

motivation

2012-07-15T21:47:00.000+02:00

What do you do when you need to motivate yourself? What do you do when you need to focus? When it's really important that you do your best?

For me it's being at a place where it's quiet. If I'm supposed to write something I go somewhere with a good chair and good lightening. Also for me it's really important that I listen to the right type of music. I usually listen to music. If I need to read or write something I listen to instrumental music.

Today is my last day of this summer. I can't believe it. The time flys by. I wish i has everything ready for the fall but unfortunately i don't. I don't know what kind of job i will have. As usually it worries me. I've decided to try to be proactive about it and not just let my worries Get the best of me. I'm writing this on my iPad and it's taking a while to write it as i'm not used to write on the iPad. If you some words which doesn't make sense that's also the reason.

Today i'm gong back to my appartment after being gone for 4 weeks. All my flowers are probably dead.

My wishlist for stuff just keeps growing. Know what i mean? I spent so much money in sweden and I won't get salary for about a month so I need to be money wise.

My new fave city: Stockholm

2012-07-10T16:05:00.001+02:00

It's been a really long time since I've updated this blog, and truthfully it's because I haven't had much to blogg about. I've been struggling to find motivation for this blogging lately, but today it came to me out of nowhere. I could be that I'm currently writing an exam. I got out of nowhere a passion for writing. I wanna travel the world and write about my journeys. I wish I was younger and had all the opportunities in the world. Now as I'm fast approaching the 30s I feel that I have to much obligations. I have a studentloan which needs to be paid. I probably have a to expensive lifestyle to be able to travel. I really wish I could though. Maybe when I'm older I could do something like this.

One of the reasons for me loving to travel right now is probably because I've spent the last couple of weeks in Stockholm Sweden, and I loved it. I loved the city, the people, the vibe. I so wanna go back now. I've been to stockholm before but only for a day visit. Now I spent a few weeks there and got to now the city a little better. I wish I could've moved there, but in the current economic climate I guess that's not a option.

Amsterdam spring 2012

2012-04-26T19:21:00.002+02:00

Hello dear readers :)
Did you guess that I've been to Amsterdam this spring based on my teaser post? I guess some of you did.

Here is some more pictures from Amsterdam:

Offcourse we need a picture of tulips from Amsterdam

15 minutes workout a day project

2012-04-17T20:29:00.001+02:00

As you all probably can see from the title I've decided to start a new project. Older readers have probably noticed that I do projects every once in a while. And I hardly ever succeed I have to admit. But I've decided to try a new project (once again). This project is called 15 minutes workout a day :) Like the name?

The rules.
1. I have to workout everyday ( yes including Saturday and Sunday)
2. By workout I mean that I need to become warm after the workout and I need to feel my heartrate go higher.
3. The workout has to last for at least 15 minutes.

Why a new project?
1. Because I hate my body at the moment
2. As almost everyone else I wanna lose weight
3. I've tried losing weight by controlling my food intake (doesn't work for me, only for a short period of time)
4. Working out is good for you?

Are you read for the challenge? Wanna join me in the new project I'm working on?

well then! Let's get started!

a song to get you started

The exercises :
1. If you're like me and unfit you should have a slow start.. Don't try to push yourself. (remember you're gonna do this tomorrow as well :) If you're doing the exercises at home you should start by "jogging" slowly by lifting your knees up to your tummy, while you lift your arms up.Do this for 30 seconds. After you've done this take a short break.

2. Pretend that you're jumping a rope (sp?) If you have a rope use that, but you don't need one. Do 20 jumps, and then a short break.

3. Starting to feel warmer? Good so am I.. Remember don't over do your exercise this is just the beginning. For the third exercises we're gonna work on our arms. We don't wanna use weights or anything like that (we're beginners) but since we're bookworms lets incorporate books. Take a book in each hand, but not a paperback, hold against your thighs and lift it away from you. Do this repetition for 15 times. It sounds really easy, but because of the repetitions it's harder than it sounds.

4. We also need some exercises for our thighs and hips. Separate your feet and bend down, with your hands on your hips. It's hard to explain this exercise, but you bend down kind of like your sitting down. Your back shouldn't bend, only your knees. Don't repeat for more than 10 times.

5. Last exercise for today. Sit ups. Do as many repetitions as you can manage.

Didn't this take 15 minutes for you? Repeat and stretch to the end. Good luck!

Please remember that I am in no way a professional. I am a very inexperienced "athlete", and this is just some of the exercises I do. They many not work for you, and you should always listen to the signals your body sends you.

If you wanna read more about my project, please comment. And come back next tuesday to read the second post about this new project of mine

NKOTBSB tour

2012-04-17T17:15:00.000+02:00

As everyone probably know by now I'm a bsb fan, well I used to be a big fan when I was younger, these days I'm mostly keeping up with them out of old habit. They're gonna tour Scandinavia this month, and I haven't got any ticket. I've decided that I didn't wanna go. But now I've gotten this feeling that I'm missing out on something, and I sort of wanna go. I feel I see their tour buses everywhere. Do anyone else have this nostalgic feeling toward something?

Teaser/ what's coming this spring on this blog

2012-04-12T19:48:00.003+02:00

Hello dear readers :)
I think the title of this post have been the longest I've made so far on my blog. I didn't know what to call it so I've decided to use this one. This is basically a post about what I'm going to blog more about this spring. It's a teaser...

Hope you'll like it

Where in the world is this? ;)
