Prom is tomorrow! I'm not that excited, to be honest, but I'll get in a "party mood" when I'm getting ready tomorrow.
So my hair is washed + hairmask, face is washed + facemask, nails are all painted. Have I forgotten something?

Anyhow, I'll try to upload a picture of my dress (that I also wore to my cousins engagement) tomorrow - if not, then I'll show it to you on saturday.

Btw, am I the only one to think that it is weird to have classes on the day of prom?

Waking up late for the last couple of days is not ok. But I can't help it! I'm waking up extremely late, and to be honest, I don't even care if I happen to be one or two minutes late for school.. Where did Laila go? Good question..

So now I'm on the bus. Late. And I'm not freaking out. Isn't that wonderful?

Anyhow, I found (or my sister found) the ring that we've been looking for - we thought that we had lost it, but it's found! :D

Hey guys!
I've been running around with mom, trying to find some last minute stuff for my dress.. It needs to get sewn or get an "extra piece of fabric" on the front because it shows off wayyy too much - that's my opinion.. And I'll show you my "party outfit" tomorrow! :D

While I'm writing this, I realized that I forgot to get a ring to go with my dress.. How great..

Anyhow, I FINALLY find the brush that I've been looking for - a stippling brush. I haven't found it in Kicks! So I got it from Lindex (but it's not a "Lindex-brand"). I'll show you that one too - I'll show you my brushes in one post and that one is going to be included. :P

What else, what else..
Oh, I snapped a picture of lilacs, they are so beautiful. And simple.. They are definitely on my "flower-favorite" list!


The gorgeous lilacs that are blossoming in our garden - beauty and simplicity.

Today is my sisters birthday, which is the reason why I didn't blog (kind of). She is still tinie tiny, which is why it's weird for me to see her all grown up.. and it makes me feel extremely old!

Can't you guys remember how fun it was to be 15? (the readers that are 15+). But, to be fair, I'm looking forward to turn 18 - drivers license and what not.

Anyhow, it was a lovely, sunny, HOT day = perfect for the tan-oholic (she loves laying under the sun). We had cake, she got gifts, my aunts and cousins came over. It was fun! And there are many, many parties to attend this month.. My cousins engagement party, three birthday parties (if not more) and two graduation parties (including mine).. We even counted all the weddings, engagement parties, birthday parties and so on, that we've been to this year.. Lets just say that they were to many to count on your fingers.. But, it's always fun!


The birthday girl woke up to our "happy birthday"- song(s) - in multiple languages.. Fake voices should
be added.


I'm so jelous of her tan skin..
When we were younger, we used to write letters to each other - even though our rooms were really
close.. So I thought I'd write her something - to light up the memories.. It didn't end up being a
"real letter"; just a happy birthday poem and something more :P


"The other cake".. Hahah, I love (tiniest sarcasm) how we've stopped baking our own traditional
birthday cake.. With names and stuff on it - nostalgic?


SOME yummies. LOL, it looks so "importerat" (Swedish people, art thou there?! No, I shall stop trying
to be Shakespeare-y). I hope my aunt doesn't mind being a part of my blog..


She got a rose (ONE - big one - of the gorgeous things she got.. that I miiight "steal"). But this rose
is just so perfect and simple. I love it!

Now I will head to sleep - I'm exhausted!
Good night lovelies! ♥

I've got a confession to make.. I've been loving nail polish lately! It's so springy, fresh and makes your nails look great - even though they're not.

What have you been loving lately?

GOOD GOD!
I've been studying, as I told you guys, non stop for my physics finals tomorrow.. And I'm exhausted!
But finally I am DONE STUDYING PHYSICS - not going to open a physics book as long as I live.. Hopefully!

I'll just go through some last stuff and do some homeworks.. or read a book..

Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I'll go back to being my old self and hopefully write more fun posts tomorrow (or tonight).

Have a lovely sunday - of what's left of it anyways :P

It's Champions League Final right now! I'm watching it with my sister, her friend and my little brother. ...aaaand my physics books..

For now, I'm having a study break - its fika time!

Are you watching the final? Which team are you cheering on?

I've been trying out different makeup looks for graduation, and I think that I finally came up with "the perfect graduation look".
I'm very excited about it and thought I'd ask you guys if you want me to "show it" to you or if you think that tutorials are boring?


Here are the products that I'm going to use.

A more detailed post about some of them will be up soooon!

So I've been studying at the library every single day - counting from the end of last week. It have been great since I've been "forced" to study.. You can't really go to the library to watch YouTube videos - that would be preeeeetty weird!

Anyhow, me and my friends got some yummies (aka food) to keep our heads up and our eyes open..

Three weeks till graduation - yay! :D
How have you guys been? x

The weather outside is so boring.. It makes you feel extremely dull and tired - that's not fun!
So me and some friends went to study at the local library, and I actually got a lot of things done - and I got some help, since we were supposed to help each other. Physics is not the easiest subject, you know :P

Because of lack of inspiration and lack of subject - I have no idea what to write about - I have not posted many posts these days. And that, I am sorry for. I guess that I need some time off the blog and that is what I'm going to do.

I'll try to seek some inspiration..

I have a confession to make.. I think that I'm liking bracelets more than necklaces - and THAT, my friends, is very not me.. I'm a necklace person!

This current obsession has made me pick out my bracelets BEFORE picking out my clothes.. Strange? Maybe maybe..

- I've been trying to upload this post all day!! It's not working and I'm extremely frustrated..

I promised that I'd answer your questions today - let's get started!

yes please, do a Q&A?
Im wondering if you could take a pic of ALL your makeup? and also I want to know what new books you've been reading aside from jane austens' books :) bless ya x

I'm doing a Q&A now :P and my makeup "collection", I feel very weird when I refer to it as a collection... But I will show it to you (maybe this weekend). What new books I've been reading? Well, asides from my Heureka Fysik kurs B (physics book) - which I btw recommend.... ... .. - I haven't really been up to anything new, which I find to be pretty sad.. I will be reading soon though - tomorrow I suppose - since I have to write an essay about a novel that I haven't picked out yet (no worries, it's due in about three weeks) and I'll let you know which one I decide to read :D


Why are you anonymous? x
It's very funny that you asked me that question since I was discussing it with my mom a couple minutes ago! :P
When I first started blogging, I had almost no readers at all, and I didn't find any need to post up pictures of myself because of Internet insecurity, I suppose.. I still have a hard time trusting the Internet - spoken like a true 50 year old (no offense), but thats how it is. Even though I've actually been considering to post up pictures, with me in them, I don't know when or if I will do that. And you already know my name, age and where I live - so I'm not thaaat anonymous, am I? :)


Can you show pictures of after your graduation ?
Of myself or of my outfit?
I'm probably starting (already posted up the first post) a graduation-countdown-post-thing where I'll write about the last month of High School. And of course, I will update you guys about my graduation and the party and so on!

I hope this post helped you getting to know me better, and that I've answered all of your questions!

Me and my friends have been writing on a list of 50 things to do before graduation - so we came up with a list of 50 things to do.. And we shared it with our classmates, who loved it and now most of our class is up to competition against each other. It's very fun!

One of the things that was included on the list is wearing different rings on each finger - so you have to wear ten rings.. for a whole day!

I wore ten rings today and did people look at me as if I'm an alien? YES!
I snapped a picture of my fingers.. Let's just say that this isn't a style I'll be rocking!


Btw, pink (neon) nailpolish makes your hand look more tan!
Something that I've been loving ;D
 

I've almost used up all of my concealer - and I desperately needed a new one.. So I went to the MAC store and asked the girl to help me find my shade (since mine was a little bit too dark - one shade too dark). We found my shade and when she was picking it up, she noticed that it was out of stock.. With almost no concealer at home I thought that I'd try another one, and see what I think of it.

That's why I got the Studio Sculpt Concealer by MAC. I know that their makeup can be a bit pricey, but I think that a good base is worth splurging for..

I really hope that this product turns out to be good - I need it for graduation!



Do you have any products that you tend to splurge on? ♥

There is a request that requires me to do a Q&A post, and now I'm wondering;
what are your questions?

There was another request that wanted me to show you all of my makeup, and I will do that sometime soon! ♥

 

The title doesn't have much to do with me - except that I'm ADDICTED to this song.. And it's on the radio as I'm writing this hahah!

Today have been a "chill" day - had only one class. Afterwards I went to pildamsparken - a park and reflected over my life..

.. ok, that was a lie. I was waiting for my mom to pick me up ;D.

It's such an amazing day! So sunny - I should study outside today!
xx

My little sister (sounds like she's 5) went to one of my classes today - to check the school out (again, since she came to the open day/house) but she wanted to see how the "real" environment there is; during classes and so on. So she came to one of my classes - and I think that she found it a little bit tooooo quiet :p wish her good luck with choosing hs!

And now we are having "fika" (I'm having lunch haha).

Have a wonderful day - and for the malmöiterna; enjoy the sun! :D

Since summer is coming around, we all just love having an extra glow on our face.. But sometimes, there is no time to lay under the sun or use any self tanners - faking it (naturally) goes a long way at times like these and that's what I've been rocking (or trying to) lately.

I found a picture of Blake Lively with a gorgeous summer-glow-skin, but I wanted to keep this look simple and very natural, which is why I skipped some of the steps.



1. Do your regular foundation (or powder)/concealer routine. Don't forget to prime and moisturize beforehand!

2. Pick up a bronzer with no shimmer, sparkle and so on - it should be plain "brownish". Don't choose a color that's too dark on you if you are fair skinned. That wouldn't look like a summer glow - it would look like a summer burn or something like that and that is not attractive!

3. Sweep the bronzer on your cheekbones (not the hollows of your cheek - we don't want to contour, just fake a glow), your nose, your jawline and along your temples using a powder or blush brush.

4. Using an eyeshadow brush (crease brush), sweep the bronzer along your crease, slightly up to your browbone, but not all the way up under your brows!

5. Sweep some shimmery highlighter (I use a champagne-white-goldish eyeshadow for this, since I think that it looks good.. And it doesn't make my face go oily - I have combination skin!) on your cheekbones (only! dont take it further down!), your nose (just along the bone - and use a tiny bit if you have oily skin!), under your brows, the inner corners of your eyes and your cupids bow.

6. Fill in your brows (I think that a full brow look is very flattering during summer, specially when wearing this look, since you wont have anything on your eyes).

7. Sweep a pink or coral blush (personally I prefer pink) on the apples of your cheeks and blend.

8. Put on some brown mascara - it looks more natural than black and I've been loving brown mascara lately.

9. Apply your favorite lipbalm (or a pink/coral lipgloss/lipstick) and your ready to go!

Simple and easy steps that I LOVE!
Btw, what do you guys think of this type of post? Do you want more or less of it?

Making lists for everything is always soothing. And lists always tell you the truth, no matter what, unless you are not being honest while you're writing it.
I like to do pros and cons lists whenever I'm making a hard decision about everything that life offers - and you all probably know that it is unlimited. Lists can be made in your head, in your phone, in your diary (if you're old fashioned like moi, ehm ehm), on a piece of paper - they can literally be everywhere.. And that, my friends, is very practical!

This photo is a great example, and lets be honest - we agree!


Photo is from here.

I watched this superhero movie yesterday, instead of joining the mass of people that went to Pildamsparken because of it being Valborgsmässoafton (bonfires and so on - don't really know how to explain the day. For international readers, you can click here to learn more about it).

The movie turned out to be a big disappointment.. It was a "typical" superhero movie and it got really boring at some points - but again I guess that it's a "typical guy movie" (no hard feelings, ladies) because the majority of the people that were in the theater - to watch the movie - were males (there were about, less than 10 girls there..).

So this is a movie that I do not recommend.. I should probably tell you guys that I'm not very "picky" when it comes to movies - I enjoy most of them, but this one was a disappointment.. Perhaps I had too high expectations because of the great actors and actresses - who knows, who knows.
