Before I die

 
Below are just some things on my never ending bucket list. I really hope I'll see these and the rest of them come true some day. If they do I will truly have lived the best life possible. But some of them are quite unrealistic... Yeah yeah, we can all have dreams, right?

Lazy Saturdays

 
Goddmorning!
I just woke up after a great nigth at the Eugenia church, being with friends, baking and having a lot of fun!
I won't be telling you much about it now, since I'm planning on doing another post once I get the photos from Agnes, but I can say that I enjoyed it a lot.
 
The plan for today is gym, homework, maybe some movies... I don't really know, we'll see about that. However, it's going to be a really nice and calm day, no big plans for today. But you know what that means... Extra fun updates here! So keep an eye on the blog and you might be nicely surprised!
 
Now I think I'm just going to make some breakfast and start off the morning with some "Hannibal" (finally there's a new episode that you can watch here).
 
 
 
 

Happy Lucia!

 

Goodmorning my lovely readers! Happy Lucia everyone and happy Friday 13th!
I actually celebrated it a bit sneaky yesterday, since my sweet sister had made some delicious lussebullar (saffron buns). It was really nice to have some warm coffee after a cold day, watch the latest episode of Paradise Hotel and enjoy a lussebulle.
 
This mornign was a bit chaotic. I woke up about 15 minutes later than usual, since I was planning on taking a later bus. So I make breakfast and sit down in front of the morning news, just to find out that there was some kind of a problem with the subway system, so all the trains on the green line, which is the one I HAVE to take, were cancelled. So I took aride with my parents and were at school about two hours before first class. Since I was so early I decided to get something delicious at Espresso House. I went for a Winter Frapino, which of course was as delicious as it sounds!
 
After school I'm gonna meet up with Agnes to go Christmas shopping and of course, for a coffee. Then we're gonna head to Eugenia church for some cosy Christmas baking. I'm really looking forward to this Christmasy afternoon, it's gonna be so much fun!
 
Hope you guys have a great Friday!
 
 
 
 
 
 

New in

 
Mom came home with this package just a few days ago, I was so excited to finally have it delivered! It  contained some basic pieces to a warm and cosy winter wardrobe, that is especially necessary if you live in such a cold place as Sweden.
These last few days I've just had this incredible shopping urge, but even though I've gone out searching for something to soothe my hunger with, I haven't found anything in my taste. It's so frustrating to finally have some money and time to spend on these kinds of things, and not be able to do it!
Either way, these two pieces are easy to combinate into any kind of outit, can't wait to get to wear them!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
You can find the sweatshirt here and the scarf here

Reading tip

 
I've just finished reading two books that I've enjoyed very much, therefore I felt like I wanted to inform everyone about them!
 
The first one is "Egoboost! : Blondinbellas överlevnadsguide för unga tjejer" by Isabella Löwengrip.
For those of you who don't know, Isabella, or "Blondinbella" as she's more commonly know, is one of the biggest bloggers in Sweden. This book is kind of a guide or handbook how to be more confident about yourself, achieve your goals and tackle different problems. Personally, I really liked this book. I could recognize myself in many of the situations she brought up in the book and I got some really helpfull tips. If you live in Sweden, you probably know who she is, and I don't know what your opinion is about her, but whatever it might be I really think that you should give this book a chance. You might find yourself actually enjoying it, maybe even as much as I did!
These two books are also great Christmas presents for you daughter, sister, friend, or maybe yourself!
 
You can find this book for a really good price at Adlibris, Bokus and CDON. Just click the links and you'll get to the page.
Here is also a link to her blog!
 
 
 
The other book that I've just finished reading is "True Whit" by Whitney Port.
This is also kind of a handbook for girls, focusing on Whitney's life and experiences. She gives advice, make-up tips, delicious recipes and some behind the scenes-details. Overall a really interesting book, with lots of great topics and fun facts and stories. Great book and I definately think you should give it a go. Especially if you were crazy about "The Hills" and "The City", like I was!
You can find the book at Adlibris, Bokus and CDON.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow

 
There are Christmas feels all over the place right now. Beautiful lights sparkling in the windows, carols being played on the radio, the annual Christmas calender for children is on TV, and today, for the first time, snow!
The only thing missing righ now are ginger bread bisquits and saffron buns, which I will bake sometime soon.
 
Also today I finally received Midnight Memories! I've waited for it for sooo long and now I finally can listen to their new songs! You see, I had made a deal with myself that I wouldn't listen to any of the new songs until I got the album, and of course it had to be late! But now I'm gonna listen to it until I know all the lyrics to all the songs hahaha!
 
Have a great rest of the week you guys!
 
 
Beautiful snow!
 
 
Finally!!!

Happy Birthday Dad!

 
 
A very very big happy birthday to my incredibly beloved dad, you're the best!
Love you so so so much!

First Sunday of Advent

 
Can you believe it that it's already winter? To me it feels like it was my birthday not too long ago, but that was like two months from now! Time is relly passing by fast and I hope that I won't even have time to blink before it's already Christmas holidays and I'm on my way to Lithuania.
 
This weekend has been so much fun! Agnes and I had a sleepover at my place from Friday to Saturday. We met up at Farsta for some coffee and I finally got to try their delicious ginger bread-cupcake. I also had a mocha latte and Agnes had an elf-latte (their little specialty due to the Christmas spirit) and a coconut-ball (or whatever it's called in English). After that we went snacks-shopping and watched VS Fashon Show of the years 2010 and 2012. We also watched "The Vow". I had already seen it, but it's such a beautiful story, I didn't mind watching it again.
Then on Saturday we went to this audition for a short movie about soccer, went for another coffee and then we headed home to our places. I tried to get some homework done, but that didn't go too well.
Today we went to church as usual and after that we went to an another Lithuanian movie premiere, this time of a movie called "Moterys Meluoja Geriau. Kristina", which basically translates to "Women Lie Better. Kristina". It's kind of a sequel to a tv-show with the same name that is really popular in Lithuania (the "Kristina" part only shows that it's from her point of view). Anyway, it was really nice, but during the movie I started to feel sick and now I've had a headache for about six hours. I really hope it passes soon, I have a Spanish exam tomorrow so I really need a good nights sleep.
 
Hope you all have a great week!

Happy Thanksgiving!

 
Happy Thanksgiving (or Turkey Day) everyone!
I hope you all have celebrated it well, or if you haven't yet, that you will.
 
My family and I for sure did. It all started with me asking my family if they wanted to celebrate it this year, since we don't have these traditions in Sweden we had never done it before. So they agreed (after some convincing from my side) and I started my research. I didn't know much about it, but I searched for traditional courses and narrowed it down to today's menu.
 
The preparations started on Tuesday, with my dad and I going grocery shopping to get all I needed for this celebration. Then yesterday I made the pie crust and today everything came together. I started making dinner at around 5.30PM, which I soon realised was a bit too late... The dinner was ready at around 8.30PM, so I worked hard. But with some help from mom (mostly with cleaning up after me, hahah), sissie (peeling potatoes) and dad, it all ended up being a beautiful dinner.
 
Everyone we're really happy and pleased with how it all turned out, so we're definately going to make this our tradition. It's a bit sad that we don't celebrate it here in Sweden, but I find it so incredibly nice and cosy, so we're gonna do it anyway!
 
Tomorrow is a free day for me (not because of Thanksgiving, of course), so I'm gonna head to the gym, do some cleaning and of course, some shopping, since it's Black Friday (not in Sweden, but I don't care). Then I'm gonna meet up with Agnes for some coffee and later we're gonna head to my place for a fun sleepover, so I won't be doing much blogging tomorrow. Hope that's okey with you guys!
 
 
Happy Thanksgiving!
 
 
The dinner (from top to bottom): Pumpkin Pie, Turkey Breasts, Mashed Potatoes, Garlic Green Beans, Brussel Sprouts and Gravy.

Today was the first time I ate Pumpkin Pie (or pumpkin overall)

It's that weird time of the year

 
Am I the only one already sick of the cold and the darkness? And winter hasn't even started yet! Ugh, I hate it. It's that weird time of the year when it's not fall, but not yet winter, like you're stuck somewhere in the middle. But since it's so incredibly cold, I guess it's starting to lean towards winter now.
 
These past few days have been really nice.
On Saturday I didn't do anything special, just stayed at home, watched different series (mostly "Sherlock"), baked bread and made dinner. It was really nice altogether.
Then on Sunday Agnes and I went to coffee/lunch at Wayne's Coffee. I had a delicious wrap with lettuce, chicken, quinoa and some other vegetables and a latte with hazelnut flavor. Yummy! After that my parents and I went to this screening of a Lithuanian documentary/movie about two pilots. There was a professor in history that held a speech about them and after that you got to see the film.
Yesterday I stayed at home, not feeling too well and having a headache. Watched Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the years 2008, 2010, 2011 and 2012. This might seem a bit crazy to anyone who doesn't know me, but I just love the shows! The atmosphere, the lingerie, the models, everything! It's just so magical and every girls' dream to be a part of it. I also listened to some great old music from Agnes' playlist, loved it!
Today I went to school, but the only thing I had was a small presentation about the company where I did my intership. So overall it was a really nice and chill day. Any minute now I'm gonna go grocery shopping with my dad.
 
Have a great rest of the day!
 
 
Beautiful bestie at Wayne's!
 
 
Delicious Sunday lunch

Amazing Monday lunch: cottage cheese, red onion and sundried tomatoes, yummy!
 
 
Great playlist, check it out.
 
 
Do I need to say anything else?!
 
 
Bought this at lunch today, disgusting! Hahahah!

Movies, buckets and letters

 
Decided to do a little quick and quite late post, hope you guys don't mind.
 
So this past week has been hell at scholl. Not so much because we've had a lot to do, which we've had, but mostly because I've had a headache at least one period of time every day the whole week. I usually never have headaches unless it's a migrane, but this week has been different and I have no idea why.
 
But there's been some fun things as well! On Wednesday my sister and I went to watch "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire". Both of us are completely in love with the books and seeing them come to life is beyond incredible. The movie was awesome, as expected, and we enjoyed it very much.
 
Today after PE-class my frineds and I tried out a "new" restaurant, called "Salata Sthlm". It was very different, but in a good way I think. The concept was very clear and it looked really fresh and the food was delicious. I will try to take some pics next time so you can see how it looks. What we all found a bit strange but at the same time really cool was the way our salads were served, in something that looked like mix of a flower pot and i bucket. Really cute, love those kind of ideas and details.
 
Also today I received my very longed for letter from my friend Nashara who lives in The Netherlands. We were introduced to eachother as a part of a project and we became really good friends and now we continue writing to eachother, even though the project is different now. I will try to send my letter back to her as soon as possible!
 
Hope you guys have had a great Friday!

Beautiful morning sky

 
Good morning guys! I'm just about to start class, so this morning has been quite chill.
 
Yesterday was such a horrible day, I don't even know where to begin. Firstly, I had a really hard time waking up. I was laying there in bed, all warm and cosy, and absolutely didn't want to go to school. Once I got there, I got a persistent headache that lasted almost the whole day. Had to go to the nurse to get a pill, but not even that one helped so much. So because of those things I was in a bad mood all day, easily iritated and not social at all.
Then later, my guitar lesson went so badly I don't even want to think about it.
 
So I really hope that this day will be better than yesterday, abit more fun and without a headache. I feel it creeping up on me though, so I should take an Ibumetin soon.
 
Have a great day everyone!
 
 
Beautiful morning sky
 
 
 
 
No better way to start a morning than with ELLE

One of the best weekends ever

 
Hello guys! Quite some time has passed, since my last post I mean.
Well these last few days have been sooo much fun, it's insane! Well, at least for me.
 
On Friday it was my last day at Pressbyrån and my internship was on it's last day. It was really sad to leave everyone, they were so nice to me and made me feel really welcomed. Fortunately, I may see them all again, since my boss offered me a part time job! I'm so excited! Sadly I probably won't be needed there so much right now, but after she leaves for a maturnity leave I will be needed. So I'm really looking forward to earning some money at the same time as going to school. Also since it was my last day I bought some delicious chocolate "cake" for the whole staff, and of course it was delicious!
 
Then later the same day I met up with Agnes at a Wayne's Coffee (after some stuggle finding the right one!). It was so nice to meet up for some coffee and cake and just talk about everything that's been going on and about the future and so on. After that we went to the movies to see "Prisoners" and it was a very good, interesting and thrilling movie. I definately understand why it has received so good critic. Then we had to run to catch the train home to Agnes' place , otherwise we would have gotten home almost an hour later. But we made it to the train in time and when we got home Agnes' mom had made some delicious mini breads, which we both enjoyed very much. Then we made a reaction video to "Story of My Life" by One Direction, I introduced her to "Hannibal" and we started to watch this movie called "One Day", but we were too tired to watch the whole movie so we went to sleep.
 
The next day we woke up around 10, ate a long and big breakfast and she introduced me to a show called "Sherlock" (I think it was called that anyway). It was really good and I really liked it, so I will definately be watching it again soon. The only bad thing is that the episodes are very long, around 1,5 hours, so you really have to have some time over if you watch it.
 
At around 1PM I had to head home and I bought a chocolate croissant (I just LOVE them!) and a coffee to that, before I grabbed the bus home. At home, I did't do anything special, which was really nice, just to relax and do whatever I wanted. Of course I did some homework, since I have this huge exam on Thursday (marketing, of course), and made dinner (American pancakes), but otherwise it was a really nice and calm end of the day.
Today after mass my parents and I went grocery shopping (you older readers know how much I love grocery shopping) and then I just watched some series, ate yummy food and did more homework. After dinner the whole family watched an episode of "How I Met Your Mother" and now I'm here, just about to go to sleep. Tomorrow another week in hell begins and I'm not exactly excited about that. But what can you do, but "Enjoy the rollercoaster that is life" (thank you Zayn Malik for those encouraging words).
 
Have a nice week everyone!

Quote of the day

 
 

Mondays

 

Moday's a bitch... Or so I usually think. But not today, today was different. Better, somehow. Maybe because I was so excited for work, I didn't even notice it's Monday. However, this day went buy really fast, even though I got quite a lot done.
So today was the first day of my internship at Pressbyrån. I was immediatly assigned to watch and learn how the whole system worked; how the cashier worked, how to sell SL-cards and lottery tickets, and bake. It was quite difficult in the beginning, but I'm quite a quick learner, so I roughly understood it all and was placed to be in charger of my own cash machine. All I can say is that it looks a lot easier than it actually is. In the beginning I was super stressed, because the line was getting longer and I wasn't fast enough. I made quite some mistakes, but hopefully no one left the shop with almost a heart attack! As time went buy, it got a lot easier and I got quicker. At the end of the day, it felt really weird thinking that this was only my first day. If I learned this much during just one day, imagine how well I'll know how everything works at the end of this week!
So yeah, this day was a very nice day and I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!
 
Have a great rest of the week!

Trip to Uppsala

 
I thought I'd share some pics from when my family and I went to Uppsala on autumn-break. It's a very beautiful and cosy student-town, with little shops and cafes, churches and castles, and also those little details that make things special. Unfortenately we didn't have time to see as much of the town as we'd wanted, but it was really nice to go on a trip like this. Not something you usually do, but a great way of spending more time with your family!
 
Here are the pictures!
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Cosy Saturday

 
Hello everyone who's reading my not so very much visited blog...
Hahaha! But seriously, sometimes I even wonder for whom I'm writing. But I guess I'm doing it just for fun, even though it would be even more fun if more people read it. Anyway...
 
Today was a very nice day, that kind of day when you don't really have any plans and just go with the flow.
I was supposed to go to be this extra in a movie together with my mom today. So we're on our way, it was starting at 10AM, when we get a text that the filming is postponed until 2PM. Both my mom and I were quite unpleased and dissapointed, so we decided to ditch it and go shopping instead. It was so nice going in to different stores, looking for something nice to buy, either for yourself or for Christmas. Unfortunately this didn't last that long, since we both felt tired, so we ended up going for a coffee at Espresso House instead. We found this adorable café near the train station in the city and sat there for a while, drinking hot chocolate, eating muffins and having a really nice talk. Then when I got home my sister had a friend over and she was really nice. We made homemade pizza and of course it was delicious. I ate sooo much, I kind of regret it a bit, hahaha!
 
Have a nice weekend everyone!
