BACK 2 SCHOOL // SCHOOL BAG SNEAK PEEK


Fittingly enough I'm pre-writing most of these posts since I'm super busy with my new school ATM. 
This video is going up Thursday/Friday and by then I'm on my way to Pokémon camp with my new mates. For all I know 
this weekend will be C R A Z Y, but hopefully I'll be back soon with a cured hang over and lots of inspiration. 

Until then enjoy this video where I share my darkest, deepest secrets hidden in my gigantic school bag. 
Oh well, it's mostly a lot of ramble about pens and everyday essentials but those are just the things I appreciate in life.

FIRST DAY IN SCHOOL! FOLLOW ME AROUND


Ninjo and I have breakfast and talk about how I'm probably going to meet future best friends today, and how one can really look at this day as a point of before and after in my life. I feel so excited and reminisce over my first day at high school. I still love to hear my best friend Frida tell the story about how she saw me through the window and instantly knew that she wanted to be my friend. 

I put on my regular glowy makeup, my most comfy yet fashionable outfit and head out the door. I'm taking an early train to Malmö because of a few arrends I need to run before I head off to Copenhagen. But when I finally cross the Öresund bridge, I must admit it's not without a bunch of butterflies in my stomach. Sometimes it's hard for me to grip things like this, since I'm so used to always push myself into things that are quite scary, but every now and then I actually realize what I'm about to do and it freaks me out for a second. 


Anyways, no time to worry! Since I'm studying in Denmark they hand out beers before the principal's opening speech. 
We get divided into smaller groups and play silly games to learn each others names. Even though danish is quite similar to swedish, it's still a different language and it's hard to keep up when everybody's talking fast, which leaves me looking like a fool while I try my hardest to understand the context and keep up with conversations.

After a tour of the school and further silly games it's time to eat and decorate the tables with weird stuff and come up with great explanations for our creative pieces. My team is very indecisive and in the end we flipped our tables around and created a bus, which was really cozy but unpractical for obvious dining reasons. Everybody is SO SO SO nice and the open bar doesn't do any harm. 
I'm having a great time and feel quite sad that I need to leave early to catch my train. 

Outside there's a barbeque and an amazing sunset. I'm just enjoying the moment, drinking GT with my new found friends and laugh along with their jokes even though I don't understand what's so funny. This is the first day of my new life and on wednesday there's a champagne cruise and this weekend we're going on a camp with the theme POKÉMON - what's not to love. 

Unfortunately I need to leave the party before midnight to head back home to Sweden, which takes about 1h 20 min. But when I finally get home to Ninjo and lay in his arms and tell him all about my day and he laugh at me when I try to speak danish, it all feels so far away as if it was a dream or something I made up.

But I'm happy that it's all real and I can't wait for everything to come. 
Please tell me about your first days in school, I would love to know! Take care <3

WORN IN RED LIPS


I'm not one to go for a classic red lip on an everyday basis, but some day ago I was craving a worn in version. So I messily slapped on e.l.f Studio Matte Lip Color in the shade "Rich Red" and paired it with a shimmery taupe eye look and insanely strobed skin. Yesterday I had a serious talk with my boyfriend about that he HAS to tell me when I start to go overboard with my highlighter - so far I'm good so no worries.

SNEAK PEEK MARIES TRAVEL BAG


If there's one of my friends that are equally obsessed with youtube and beauty it has to be Marie. She's off to the States as we speak 
but before she left we met up and I had a sneaky look through her travel makeup bag. Talking beauty and discuss different products/techniques is one of my favourite things to do so I thought I would share this experience with you - hope you'll enjoy!

IT'S ALMOST OVER BUT WE'RE HOLDING ON



I have no words for this summer. Well that's a lie - I have many words, most of them highly inappropriate for this platform. 
But it has been the shittiest summer ever. The times I've visited the beach are easily counted on one hand, and many days I've worn 
both a sweater and a jacket. I mean COME ON. What's up with that?

But then there are a few, memorable moments. Like when me, Ninjo and my parents visited the small town Hällevik where 
we had a summer house back in the days. Once again - the weather wasn't ideal, but we walked around, had a nice lunch 
and decided to go for a dip in the ocean anyways. 

My mom had brought coffee and some homemade walnut-chocolate cookies and after the swim it was like the best fika ever
Wet swimsuits, salt water and hot coffee, mmmm....


Another day I got to be part of this little ones first time at the beach. To watch her go from scared and terrified of the cold water and 
seaweed, to become obsessed and brave was both hilarious and touching. It feels like it was yesterday I visited my brother and Caroline at the hospital to meet her for the first time, and now she's a real person who calls my name and wants to hold my hand all the time.

WARM SMOKE & RADIANT SKIN




It was a tired Monday morning and I did what I do best; spent too much time in the bathroom 
and played around with some makeup to create this warm/bronzy/smokey eye and natural, radiant skin.

Like a rebel I skipped mascara 'cause I just prefer the look with bare lashes. Less polished, more raw.

CASUAL DINNER @ MY BROTHERS


My brother Teddy and his wife Maria have the most amazing house. Not only do they have the most impeccable taste - they're also extremely handy and have built and made almost everything on their own. I love to visit and this thursday we had a nice catch up over dinner and dessert.


We talked about my school, how time flies by and whether they're having a boy or a girl. 'Cause their having a baby in November and the excitement is real. So we spent a lot of time ooh-ing and aah-ing while checking out all the cute baby stuff they've bought. 


The weather was beautiful for ones and we sat outside until the sun disappeared behind the trees.


Oh, summer please don't leave yet. But oh, do I long for all the things this autumn will bring <3

APARTMENT TOUR

Since we're (hopefully) moving soon I thought I would show you guys our current place. I've lived here for 2 years, 
and my boyfriend have lived here on and off for the last year and fulltime since the beginning of summer. It's really a 
tiny apartment for two people, but it works just fine for us.

I think we've done the best with the 28 sqm we have to work with, and luckily we have an entire wall of wardrobs an storage 
which isn't visable in any of these pictures. But it's at the end of the bed, if you want to imagine it. 



The hallway is a small square room where we keep our shoes, jackets etc. It has a big mirror and a built-in wardrobe that you 
can't see in the pictures. The pictures are taken from the 'main room' aka the livingroom/bedroom/dining room/office. 
The door to the right in the first picture leads to the toilet.


The toilet is kinda ugly so sorry that this pic isn't more aesthetically appealing. Right inside the door, to the left, 
is a rather big cabinet with a mirror door. That is were I keep most of my makeup/lotions/hair dryer/etc. 
As you could've probably guessed there's a lot a Lush products in this picture.


So this is what I previously referred to as the 'main room'. The bed takes up most of the space, which is very much OK 
since that's were I spend most of my time anyway. The shelfs above the bed doubles up as a night stand and carries 
all the necessities like glasses, lipbalm, handcream etc. 

In the right corner, next to the windows, is Ninjos man cave. That TV is only used to play video games. I've arranged the pillows all pretty in this picture, but usually he has his own 'arrangement' where he builds two towers on each side to keep his elbows on. Oh well.


To me a workplace is very important and I've always prioritized having a desk. This is our creative place where I 
blog/edit/draw/sew/paint nails/etc and Ninjo makes beats. On the left shelf of the desks leg we have a pretty good sound system 
to piss off the neighbours with. (Atm we mostly listen to this. Pretty gangstah.)

The dining table is placed in front of the windows and the french balcony. When the sun is shining we 
open up the door and pretend that we're at a fancy italian restaurant. 


The kitchen is really tiny, but I love that room. It actually has everything one could need with both a full size stove and fridge/freezer. 


When I moved in I bought this shelf system from IKEA which is a nice addition to the kitchen. Not only is it 
a good storage space, it's also gives off a cool vibe. I would say that it's a bit too small if you're a fan of cooking with your loved one, 
but in our house I'm the president of the cooking and leave the dirty dishes for Ninjo. **Relationship goal***


Lastly this is the view from the kitchen. Although I'm SO ready for a new place and looking forward to moving, I'm gonna miss this place. 
No, it's not a fancy place, and yes, it could probably use some renovation pretty soon - but I've really felt like home here. 
Between the ages of 16 and 22 I managed to move seven times, so I think it has been good for me to take some time and settle in.

It's been nice to write this post, and I feel like this was a way to say good bye to this place.
As for now we're looking for an apartment in Malmö so if you know anything please let me know!
