Happy Holidays, dear readers! I hope you have been having the time of your life, getting what you wished for, eating amazing home-cooked food, spending time with your loved ones and taking in all the joy that this season brings us. I want to thank you sincerely for reading my blog and commenting and sending me e-mails and being there for me as a blogger. I hope the new year will bring you eternal happiness, because as we very well know, there is no reason not to be happy.

reblogging my life away

I just realized the true joy of tumblr. It would mean the world to me if you check mine out and perhaps follow me?

reminiscent cutouts

I am scanning things like a crazy person! I found an old journal, and I was thrilled with my find. I cut out magazines and photos and glued them in and wrote somewhat meaningless words, but isn't it nice finding something reminiscent of your childhood creativity?

Edit: Sorry about the last one! I had to blur out the writing, I had a look at it after it was posted and decided it wasn't really appropriate or fortunate for me. 


Love Always!

viking pride

So the wonderful thing about shopping online is that when all is said and done and you've got your garment in the flesh, the store/company/retailer is so proper and nice to send over seasonal catalogs. Some aren't worth opening but Urban Outfitters are damn good at what they do. They're catalogs ooze with inspiration and the jaw-dropping photos are almost to pretty to look at. Imagine my feeling of glee, happiness and joy when I saw the cover of the latest christmas catalog. IT WAS TAKEN IN ICELAND! And not only the cover but the whole editorial! My proudest moment of being viking-blood yet! And now that my semester is finally over, I decided to be the admirable and hard-working blogger I am and take some time to scan the photos and show you guys! 


I hope you enjoy them as much as I did. Kudos to you Icelanders out there.

the inevitable seasonal sentimental post

In amidst of finals, mid-terms, essay writing and finishing up the wonderful school year I find myself composing christmas wish-lists, scouring the holiday sales, sipping hot chocolate and syncing my iPod with seasonal songs. What I am wishing for this season is health, family, love and this particular Marc by Marc Jacobs wallet. 

With the freezing weather it is so important to be good to yourself and your body. I have been following my advice these past couple of days, I went to Rope-Yoga yesterday, meditation and relaxation. I have been taking multiple hot bubble baths, eating fresh-from----the-oven cookies.  This really is a time of family, love, warmth, comfort, eating and wellbeing. I know I am going to really use this opportunity and enjoy the wonderful life we were given. 

Love Always,

sorry for the most depressing, sentimental post yet. But hey it is the season to be thankful!

glamour everything

I have no self-discipline what so ever. I let myself way too many things. I was grabbing coffee the other day at a café/bookstore. It's a 3-story café/bookstore. The café on the 3rd. I walked by the magazine racks and my occasional weakness, Glamour, caught my eye. It was an old issue, from October and it consisted of my favorite thing in the world: lists. The top 10 every things of beauty. How could I resist? It has done me good though, it has over 300 beauty tips and tricks. Some that actually really work. I love quick-fixes, short-cuts all kinds of those things when it comes to beauty, so this was a godsend.


I love whipping up beauty remedies in the kitchen. Seeing what I have and mixing it together to either slather it on my face or lather it in my hair. I have gotten pretty good at knowing each ingredient and what it does. Yoghurt deep cleans, bananas moisture and sugar exfoliates. I had always limited it to some basic mixture of oatmeal, honey and yoghurt for a quick burst of radiance. So I was thrilled, giddy with joy when I saw the Top 10 DIY Beauty Recipes! 
   I did the brown sugar+milk=body exfoliator. I had never in my right mind thought of doing something for the body. I just stuck to moisturizer. I mixed roughly half and half like it said but I found I didn't need so much milk, I liked it kind of thick. I popped into the shower and wet the are and then did what every environmentalist should do, turned it off, and rubbed it onto my skin. It felt so satisfactory. I loved it! At that point I wasn't sure it would work, but I was proved wrong. My skin is like baby skin. It is so soft and moist, I'm in heaven. 

Love Always. 


I'll be sure to update you on other tips I try!

back with a blast from the past

Good God! I hate nothing more than excuses for not blogging. But just so you know it is forgivable, and I am going to make it up to you guys! Not much to my surprise, I have been extremely busy, doing extremely amazing things! 
   In October I went to Stockholm with my mom, we had the time of our life! Stockholm is hands down my favorite city in the world!
