A thousand years might not bring you the happiness in the same way a single day can..

 

The other day, while I was studying, a random person came up and started talking about courses, life, exams and so on. And this never happens at my uni (or very rarely)..

 

And yesterday, a random girl commented my nailpolish (Essie's Lilacism - woop woop) and then started talking about work (she's a chemical engineer), travel, language - even politics! 

 

The reason for writing this not-so-very-structured post?

To remind you - and myself - to appriciate people around us.. They are the reason to the smile on our lips - most of the time.

 

I'm not saying that life is a dance on roses, but it's not a dance on needles either.. 

It's somewhere in between..

 

 

His face is going to tear me up. His voice? That would make a whole list..

"Sisters don't need words.  They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief.  Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling."

 Aloha beauties!

Exams, driving, birthdays, graduation; May is a busy month - maybe the busiest. School (Uni) is coming to an end, and with summer around the corner, the stress factor is ridiculously high.. 

If you're like me and can't walk out the door with a hoodie - even though I seriously should consider investing in a hoodie to save my life when in stress (LOL!) - this post might be helpful.

 

This is how I deal with stressful mornings and busy schedueles.

 

 

 

Printed jackets - let's face it. I live in Sweden where you go through all the seasons in one day.. So a jacket is a must. My idea: instead of getting a new summer jacket (or a summer jacket since I don't really have any - that's another story), I thought that several blazers/light jackets would be nicer.. You can change them up and invest in bold prints, pastel colors, or something simple with a nice cut. 

I am obsessed with jackets like the one featured above!

 

White tee - I am literally obsessed with it.. I got mine from H&M and it's the most comfortable thing I own! I have one for sleep and one for daily wear and I seriously can't wear anything else (well, except for black shirts).

It's basic, affordable and very chic when paired right.

 

Sunnies - firstly, LOL at my word choice. When I haven't gotten much sleep, and when I can't bother trying to make my eyes look awake, sunglasses are great! Throw them on and you'll look like a whole new person. My motto: the bigger, the better.

 

Necklace - something I can't turn my back to. No matter how stressed I am or my lack of inspiration for outfits.. An obsession? Indeed.

 

Watch - life saver on exams when the exam room doesn't have a clock on the wall.. Do not - and I repeat - do not forget bringing a watch with you to your exam..

 

Skincare - it's that time of the month, stress is causing your hormones to go up and down, and new friends are popping up on your face.. Well, not to worry. Remember to remove your makeup before sleeping (or as soon as you get home), cleanse your face, remember your SPF and reduce the size of your friends by your favorite blemish spot treatment.

 

 

As I'm writing this post - in the living room - I got a glimpse of the very recent bloom of the siren from the window! It is definitely on my top 5 favorite flowers.. Oh the happiness on this cloudy day! Photoshoot later? YES! 

 

 

I have a confession to make.. 

A pretty embarrassing one..

 

I got a jacket, wore it four days in a row, paused a day, wore it again, and so on.. I've been loving black scarves and nude nails and huge sunnies (actually just the ones I'm wearing in the picture..). 

Obsessed much? Who, me? Oh no.. (drama, drama..).

 

Pictures are from Instagram.

What have I been up to?!

Good question, lovelies.. I have been doing everything but blogging.. Why? I haven't found inspiration nor time to sit down and write a proper post. And writing about my life all the time is not something I intend on doing, nor have done much on this blog.

 

But here's an Instagram update of the past few week(s)!

 

I've had an obsession for necklaces as far as I can remember..

Everything from pendant, short, statement, collar - you name it (oh and let's not forget about the good old chokers!) haha..

 

I guess that everyone collects something, and for me it's necklaces.

Lately, when I got this crazy, gorgeous, necklace from H&M, I've been wearing it non-stop. Literally.

I wear it everywhere and plan my outfits around it.. Weird? Indeed.

 

 

I've devaloped a love relationship with Bioderma.

It is by far, the best makeup remover I've ever tried! 

 

What I do: I soak a cotton pad with the product, and place it on my eye for a couple seconds while patting on it, gently - should be added. This removes every trace of mascara. And I do the same thing for the rest of my face - and voila! I have clean skin, haha!

 

The only downside to this product is that it takes all moisture off my skin, which makes me apply a pretty heavy layer of moisturizer - to bring the moisture back.
