Aaaaaa! I am well aware that my last post was daaays ago! Therefore I am here to tell you guys my situation. Results from the college applications are due tomorrow! June 24th at 11 am. I am going to die. All week I've been dreading/waiting/getting excited for this event. I have been finishing all kinds of stuff that I had planned to be done with but not done, cleaning my room, just to make time go by faster! And blogging never came to mind really. I just don't know why. My computer is failing though. If I have too many windows open, watching a video or typing it just automatically shuts itself down. (this post took several shut-downs and restarts to be fully done.) The computer is just getting old. I got it 2 yrs ago! I am so frustrated!

But I promised myself to content this post with something inspirational/fashion/beauty related and here it is. Random beauty advice of the day! A little over a year ago I ran out of shaving cream. I tried using just soap and it didn't really work for me so I tried conditioner and it changed my shaving part of life! It works sooo good, it comes in better scents (I always manage to only find shaving cream that smells bad, do you know a good smelling cream?) and it leaves your underarms/legs/whatever soooo soft! And it is so easy to just go to your grocery store and pick up the cheapest conditioner (I don't see much difference in cheap conditioners expensive ones). It just makes your shaving experience that much enjoyable!

Love Always
P.S. Try to enjoy this post hence the fact that it was pretty much all about shaving!

I really love it when you get deep into blogs. Reading every word, opening every link and just keep going until you realize that you've spent hours online! I stumbled upon this blog Marvelous Kiddo. Leigh Pennebaker who writes the blog is what I'd like to call a maternity guru. Alot like A cup of Jo. I found this amazing quote tucked deep into her blog archives and just had to share it!

Right now:
There are Tibetan Buddhist monks in a temple in the Himalayas endlessly reciting mantras for the cessation of your suffering and for the flourishing of your happiness.
Someone you haven't met yet is already dreaming of adoring you.
Someone is writing a book that you will read in the next two years that will change how you look at life.
Nuns in the Alps are in endless vigil, praying for the Holy Spirit to alight the hearts of all of God's children.
A farmer is looking at his organic crops and whispering, "nourish them."
Someone wants to kiss you, to hold you, to make tea for you. Someone is willing to lend you money, wants to know what your favourite food is, and treat you to a movie. Someone in your orbit has something immensely valuable to give you -- for free.
Something is being invented this year that will change how your generation lives, communicates, heals and passes on.
The next great song is being rehearsed.
Thousands of people are in yoga classes right now intentionally sending light out from their heart chakras and wrapping it around the earth.
Millions of children are assuming that everything is amazing and will always be that way.
Someone is in profound pain, and a few months from now, they'll be thriving like never before. They just can't see it from where they're at.
Someone who is craving to be partnered, to be acknowledged, to ARRIVE, will get precisely what they want -- and even more. And because that gift will be so fantastical in it's reach and sweetness, it will quite magically alter their memory of angsty longing and render it all "So worth the wait."
Someone has recently cracked open their joyous, genuine nature because they did the hard work of hauling years of oppression off of their psyche -- this luminous juju is floating in the ether, and is accessible to you.
Someone just this second wished for world peace, in earnest.
Someone is fighting the fight so that you don't have to.
Some civil servant is making sure that you get your mail, and your garbage is picked up, that the trains are running on time, and that you are generally safe. Someone is dedicating their days to protecting your civil liberties and clean drinking water.
Someone is regaining their sanity. Someone is coming back from the dead. Someone is genuinely forgiving the seemingly unforgivable. Someone is curing the incurable.

It's just so amazing and incredibly thought-provoking.

This down here really meant alot to me...

Someone is in profound pain, and a few months from now, they'll be thriving like never before. They just can't see it from where they're at.

....Because recently me and my best friend "broke up" or quit or whatever you want to say. We drifted apart from eachother. For me it was the right thing, we were besties but I never enjoyed her as one. I felt like the disposable friend. I was there for her when she needed me and she knew that, she took advantage, spent more time with other girls than me and I realized so late, I really regret that. We had been friends for over 5 years when I thought "What am I getting out of this relationship?" and sadly the answer was nothing. I took the decision to broaden my group of friends, talk to new people and enjoy myself. Just what she had been doing unconsiously the whole time. I know she was sad when she realized what was happening and my friends who were also her friends told me that she was asking them all the time what had happened, why I wasn't there anymore. She had gotten so used to just having me there and didn't see what she was doing wrong. It's been a year now, we still talk but I regret everyday that I didn't open my eyes and see what was happening. We never talked about what had happened. I don't really want to.

And tha past year has been hard in some ways but truly amazing in others. I socialized so much more and found me some great people to hang with. I found alot of groups of girls that I liked and I kind of hung with them all, not attaching myself to any one of them. That was partly because I just didn't really like what I found. The girls I started hanging out were great but I just didn't fit with them when it cames to being the best friend you always call and see everyday. I just didn't find that one girl. Now that it's summer and school is over I don't have any more reasons why I hang out with them. It isn't I go to school with her anymore, and I don't have the we're besties reason so I am kind of shy to just call them up and asked them to do something. It's weird and complicated. I just really miss the feeling of being yourself with a person, no worries, no guilt. Guilt is something that shouldn't be in a relationship. I have experienced it over and over feeling guilty about what my best friend might think of me hanging out with this girl. It just shouldn't be that way. 

And this is why I truly wish and hope that this someone is me. I hope in a couple months I will look back and think it was so worth it. I've tried everything and this is one of the few things I can do. I still can't help thinking that everything happens for a reason and that there is some reason why I haven't found a best friend yet. I can't come up with anything but I just have to hope. I guess that's what we all have to do.

Love Always.

P.S. Sorry guys I just really needed a moment to pour my heart out and my feelings with. I decided this was the right place to do so. I love the freedom of blogging. No judging just all saying what you think and like. Because chance are there are a billion people out there that feel the same way you do.

Geez guys I'm sorry, I haven't posted in a LONG time! There is a reason though. I am graduating from high school and the graduation trip was this week! We went to Þórsmörk, 3 hours away from the capital, Reykjavík. I was GORGEOUS! It was though where the volcano erupted last year, like next to the volcano so there was alot of ash everywhere. Everything was so green, it's been raining nonstop for like 2 months. We went hiking, swimming in this really cool natural pool and ate great food with great people. My emotions were so mixed, I was so happy with everyone, my friends, the teachers and the great time we were having but the feeling that this all is coming to an end was inevitable. I've been thinking this past year how grateful I am to be leaving, even though it was great I just want to move on. These past couple of days made me rethink all that! To make matters worse the majority of my class is going to the same college. I on the otherhand, the prone to be different am going to a college where only  5 people from my school are going. It's been my goal ever since I knew what college was to go  there. I have never wanted to go to the other popular one but yesterday I suprised myself with the thought that I could escape this sadness and just go with the flow and never need to say goodbye. I stopped myself and decided that there just comes a time where you need to move on, and that it usually just doesn't feel right but must be done.
  On to a bit more positive note. Marc Jacobs is getting the lifetime award from CFDA on Monday! Sofia Coppola is going to present it to him. Aaah love them both! I decided to celebrate by posting a couple of my favorite photos of him and his ad campaigns, because frankly they are amazing!

 I love love love the ads! They are so raw and spontaneuos. He on the otherhand is such a stud. Love his necklace!
Love Always

What are you lovely readers doing this weekend? I was at a birthday party yesterday and am going to see a movie tonight. I am in such a good mood because I have promised myself some new shoes!! I am going to buy them online, the lack of decent stores with decent prices in Iceland kind of chose that option for me. I can't decide.. what do you think?

 These are from Bianco. They are a look-a-like of the Acne Pistol boots which I adore!

 

I love these sandal wedges from Urban Outfitters and I can really see myself wearing them with alot! I can't decide on which color though.

 

And these suede wedges are from Urban Outfitters and are selling for only 14.99!

Love Always and tell me what you think!

Edit(!!!!!): I had to have the photos this small because otherwise they are so blurry and I just couldn't by any chance find larger photos. 

Sorry guys! I had such a great time posting and posting and posting in my easter break but now school has taken over again! So don't expect alot from me these days, I've got finals and stuff. 

Love Always and follow me on Bloglovin!

Do any of you do yoga? I've always been super interested in it. I love how people are so toned and strong when they do it regularly. Do you prefer some specific type of yoga? I've tried hot yoga and I loved it! The outfits are also really cute..

Yay! I changed my header into an original. I liked the old one alot but a trusty reader advised me on the header that I should make it more original and fun, and so that's what I did! (Thanks Kat) I recycled an old issue of Teen Vogue and cut into letters. So what do you guys think?

Love Always

I just bought a scarf from the Icelandic designers Vík Prjónsdóttir. It's called Verndarhendur or Healing hands. I love, love, love it! It's made out of wool and is super long so you can wrap it around your neck loads of times!

 

Their products are so happiness inducing! I loved bundling up in my mustard yellow Helping Hand.

Love Always

Thanks so much for your amazing comments on my last post! I love you guys!

Okay hi. This might very well be the most awkward post I have ever written. I just want to say that I really, really cherish and appreciate everyone who takes time to read my blog. I know there are a few and I'd like to make it bigger. So if you, dear readers, coul be so amazing and leave a comment, a thought on what I wrote about, say something you like about my blog (if you like sth.) and so on and so on. It would mean the world to me. I am just starting out at this stuff and I have gotten alot of emails about how my blog should be bigger and I should make it big. And the only way I know how to is through you dear readers. If you comment I comment back. If you follow I'll follow you too. I like to think that I know there are a few out there in the same situation as I am in and I just think we should help eachother. 

Love Always

P.S. That was possibly the cheesiest thing I have ever written but it is so true! If your willing to read my blog I am willing to read yours but I don't know who you are unless you leave a comment!

P.P.S. Keep reading, I love you guys.

I think and hope to God this is true. I love, love, love to laugh! I mean who doesn't.

 Love this, so romantic. I love old couples hahah.

All from vi.sualize.us. The best website to find amazingly cute photos. I am a sucker for these kind of photos, typography at it's best.

 

Oh how I love Alexa Chung! The thing I love the most is her hair. It's short and so cool and it looks really low maintenance. I feel like I achieved my best version of it the last time I had a haircut, but I still don't have the ombre feel. 

Love Always

I was so glad this afternoon with my new lipstick. Sangria from Body Shop. I thought it would be darker though as the label on the lipstick is much much darker. I love it though! And sorry for the lack of talent in self photographing. Enjoy the rest of your weekend, I love you guys!

  

Oh an yes I am a teenager and therefore I have pimples, and you know what? I couldn't care less!

Love Always

 

Yay! My first post with photos that I took! I don't have a good camera but it's good on the go for things I see and want to share so I am not going to let it bother me! Haha, I have to tell you guys a thing I do now. If anything negative or relately sad comes up in my head I flick my finger and shout in my mind "Not NOW!". And believe me it works, it's amazing!

 

I cut letters out of a magazine and put on the wall. I love it. It faces my bed so I always see it when I wake up.

 

My new Camper shoes. I love them. Camper shoes are all so comfy, cute and durable. They are darker though than shown on the picture. I love how the laces are a couple shades lighter.

 

An ad in Nylon. I love the lips! And I would die for red hair like that!

My new Lemongrass Swatch watch! It pops up any outfit and it looks just the right amount of silly.

Love Always!

Love Always, keep reading my dear readers!

I am loving today so very much for so many reasons. I came home from a 5-day ski trip with my school which was very pleasant and amazing but it is so amazingly good and calming to come home and sleep in your own bed and get back into your daily routine. I love that I came home to 1417 new, fresh, glamorous posts on bloglovin. I gathered a couple of photographs that I especially loved while scattering and sorting through each blog post. Enjoy!

 

I found this one on teen vogue. Her name is Barbo Andersen. I absolutely love this dress it sits really well on her body and it such a snowy white color. I love that she paired it with white tights and not the usual black. 

 This strikingly beautiful lady has perfect skin that I would die for. It saddens me because it reminds me of how my skin is. I guess I need to take better care of it. Taken from tiny lights.

Angelica Blick my new favorite personal style blogger! She is so fabulous, gorgeous, yummy, scrumpteous, amazing and such a stunning beauty. 

That's it for now! Love Always and keep reading. 

xoxo

Happy Valentine's day! This post is not going to be very valentines-esque but then again short and sweet!

 

An adorable tattoo and Florence Welch in the fabulous Givenchy dress she wore to the Grammy's. 

Love you all always.
