» WHAT'S IN MY (TINY) BAG?
I love bags. And I've built up a kind of large collection of them throughout the years.
The only downside: the ones I'm completely obsessed with are tiny. This means that I can't carry around my usual shit in them. So what can I fit in my small bags?
Phone (obviously), perfume, concealer, mascara, lipliner, powder + brush, lipbalm and lipstick.
Sometimes I can even squeeze in some gum!
What do you guys carry around?

Jag älskar väskor. Jag har byggt upp en ganska stor kollektion av dem under åren. Nackdelen: de väskor som jag tycker om är små. Detta innebär att jag inte kan bära runt det jag vanligtvis brukar. Så vad får jag plats med i mina små väskor?
Mobil (såklart), parfym, concealer, mascara, läppenna, puder + borste, lipsyl och läppstift.
Ibland får jag också plats med tuggummi!
Vad går ni runt och bär på?
» MEET MATT(E)
This is my favorite eyeshadow palette at the moment. I use it for my eyebrows too (Matt Wood)!
It's got the perfect range of nude colors, and my absolute fav is the orange-y/brown-y/burnt color (Matt Singh).
So pretty in the crease with brown eyeliner (MAC Espresso is gorg) and mascara.
What's your fav eyeshadow palette?

So this is currently happening. I wasn't able to write a post about the products yesterday.. But the concealer favs should be up this week!
I'm thinking about going through each category once a week, and then finish it up with my absolute favs -
one from each category.
Would you guys be interested in that?

» AVOCADO ON TOAST
You guys.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE avocado on toast. Could eat it all day every day..
Yesterday I had my thesis dissertation, which went surprisingly well. I'm so thankful for everything.
Let's talk about the good quality pics again, shall we?
New camera → I can take blog pics again!
I'm working on a few blog posts at the moment, so stay tuned. One of them should be up later today.
For now I think I might just go for a walk. Anyone else who completely cut out sugar (but obv not carbs) after Christmas? Seriously, the amount of food I ate, I'm surprised I didn't put on more than 1 kg.
Have a lovely Saturday!

» STUDY BLUES
Snapchat picture.
Hey guys!
I dropped my sister off at the airport today - sad times (if you read this: come back!!).
Then I got Red Bull and went to uni to study. If you've followed my blog for long, you might know (or realize) that I never have energy drinks. I don't like them, and I don't like what they do to your body. I've also never had a full energy drink before, only a sip here and there - you get the point.
Anyway, so I decided that since my thesis is due tomorrow (I just got an email saying that I got an extra day extension because the first version was sent to me a week later than everyone else, but that's another story. So since my thesis is due tomorrow (or tuesday), I thought that I'd need that energy drink to stay up late.
Also, can we talk about how insanely slippery the roads are? I keep driving 70km/h on 110km/h high ways..
Back to the energy drink: I had a couple of sips. And ofc I had to mess up and get the sugar free one, which meant that it was disgusting. I seriously don't understand how people keep drinking it. Moral of this story: don't try new things that you know don't work for you..
In general, I just feel super stressed out, so I don't really have anything exciting to blog about. Maybe I will do a makeup favs post? Or fav concealers - since I've been buying them like there's no tomorrow..
Goodnight lovelies.
Have a lovely first day at school/uni(/work) tomorrow/this week!

» ICE SKATING
Today I went ice skating with Mona and Adam - super fun.. ("fun").
We already went ice skating a couple weeks ago, but this time my skates felt a lot bigger than last time.
Super weird.
Nonetheless (love the sound of that word), it was a fun experience, despite everything.
I feel like the first 5-10 mins (or 20 in my case, lol) you have to gain courage and confidence to actually do your best, and to also remember how to not fall face first. And then you'll actually remember how to skate (lol).
Please tell me I'm not alone in this. Don't leave a (wo)man hanging.
Right now I'm trying to work on my thesis - final version is due on monday.. And I'm not even stressing, even though I should.
Goodnight lovelies!

Idag åkte jag skridskor med Mona och Adam - jättekul.. (eller "kul").
Vi åkte för ett par veckor sen, men denna gången kändes det som att mina skridskor var för stora än förra gången.
Jättekonstigt, men det var ändå kul.
Jag tycker att de första 5-10 minuterna (eller 20 i mitt fall, lol) måste man samla på sig lite mod och självförtroende för att kunna åka bra (eller försöka), och för att komma ihåg hur man inte ramlar. Sen brukar man (jag) minnas hur man åker.
Snälla säg att jag inte är den enda som gör så.
Just nu skriver jag på mitt arbete - slutversionen ska lämnas in på måndag.. Och jag är inte ens stressad än, trots att jag borde börja stressa.
Förresten, vad tycker ni om att jag skriver på både svenska och engelska? Ska jag göra såhär framöver?
Godnatt!

» 2017
I had a great ending of the year, celebrated with family (70 family members to be precise).
By 11pm, a bunch of us went down to the city for the countdown and to watch the fireworks - they are always amazing to watch.
For the first couple of days of this new year, I have been living in my workout leggings (because is there anything more comfy?), and been too lazy to put on any makeup. Let that skin breathe, right?
A year ago, I would never step a foot outside the house without makeup. It's funny how things can change in a year - thanks to antibiotics (ex acne girl).
I'm gonna keep doing absolutely nothing this week, and just hang out with my family. Maybe even throw in some study sessions. Most importantly, it's when you sit back and enjoy the ride, when great things tend to come your way.
Btw guys, I'm thinking about giving the blog a highly needed makeover and changing the name. Any ideas?
