Macarons
Macarons seem to be the new hot and chic thing in Sweden. Everywhere you go it's just wow macarons. When I went to the Swedish school in Paris I stayed with a lady whos son was boulanger. Meaning; he made Macarons and other good stuff everyday and who got the Macaron leftovers? I did!
For once in my life my favorite flavor isn't chocolate, it's raspberry and pistache. I think I'm going to try and make some when I get back home to Sweden. I have no idea if it's hard to make. It probably is.

New Kérastase
Today I bought a new conditioner for very dry hair. It works with warm water, you rince it with warm water after normal shampooing. I'll try it tomorrow. I really hope it'll work. I normally use another kind of Kérastase but this one is new so I just wanna try it once.

Third night of spiders..
My third night with spiders crawling all over me in my sleep. lol. this is ridiculous. Does anybody know what this means?? I can't imaging what it could mean. I will google it later. It has to be something wrong in my life for me to be having dreams about spiders right?
So last night was pretty amazing. I don't think I've ever scored this much "funny points" ever. I was rockin' it on my friends birthday! At least I thought so at the time. Now I'm wondering if I was really that funny or just very annoying. oh well, don't really care that much. I loved me. You all know I'm doing my thing, and if you don't like it then too bad for you.
I will now go and buy Coka cola and candy and then I will lay in front of the TV until it's time to go to sleep. Carro wasn't able to come today, so I have nothing to do, so I'm a bit bored :(
Today I give you a song about Haile Selassie. For those of you who doesn't know who that is here is some info:
This guy, born 1892 and was an ethiopian emperor who among other things was the one who prohibited slavery in Ethiopia and tryed to modernise this country. In the religion of Rastafarai they belive that this man was the real Messiah and they made him their God also called Jah. The black peoples God. The who rescued the black peole from slavery and freed them from suffery. He became a person of respect worldwide after having fought against Mussolini, as he invaded Ethiopia.
Haile Selassie's real name before made emperor in 1930 was Lij Ras Tafarai Makonnen.
Think about it, RAS TAFARAI --> Rastafarai! voilà!!

Spiders (I bet not many of you wants to read this)
Often when I'm not in shape mentaly and when I'm feeling stressed, I dream about spiders. Disgusting huge spiders, crawling in my bed and on the walls. Often my dreams take place in my mums place but also at my dads house where I lived until age of 15. His house were full of spiders called Swedish house spider and they can get really big and they are horrible. When you entered a room sometimes they would sit on the wallnear the door, still, as if they were decoration. But then all of the sudden they would start to move real fast and disappear before you'd get a chance to catch them and then you would walk around in fear of where you would see them the next time.
One time there was a spider like this crawling in my bed and then it disappeared fast under my pillow and I couldn't see where it went, so I had a sleepless night. I was very scared.
I have developed a fobia for spiders as I've gotten older. When I was younger I wasn't very scared of them, at least I would act as if it didn't bother me, maybe it did, I can't remember.
Anyway, I had one of those dreams last night and the spider whan enormous! At least twice the size of the one in the picture and it came into our house and started eating one less threatening spider and my sister catched it in a box since it was too big to crush. And it tryed go get out of the box using it's long legs and pushing the lid and I could hear it moving in there.... aaah,it was horrible!!! Why do I have these horrible dreams? And more important, why am I even scared of spiders I grew up on a farm, I should be used to all kinds of bugs and spiders... but I'm not...

my inspiration
I have tryed to ignore it for some time now. But the fact is that I've lost my spirit. I know why I feel so uninspired in Sweden, but awesome in Paris. Simply because all the places I like to go to when I feel down, when I need to think or get inspiration. I don't know how many times I've walked along la Seine with that amazing view, just feeling like nothíng really mattered as long as I got to feel the way I felt right that moment. There is nutting like it, I swear.. It is so beautiful. When it's starts to get colder, my mind goes back and it thinks about all the times I've been walking from Place d'Italie all the way to Concord, seeing all the beauty of Paris and one of the most beautiful of them all, according to me, Hôtel de Ville. An old renaissance building, with small statues of famous french people.
Once I land in Paris on Thursday morning I will drop my bags at my friends place and then I will take the metro to Quai de la rapé and then I will walk all the way to Le Louvre and look at all the wonderful arts there.
And then I will party :)

something stupid
I am sitting at my mammis place and half drunk I'm trying to discuss my future with her, but she is too busy. So I've decided to just chill in front of the TV. My favorite man is on, Wesley Snipes, the guy who plays Blade. He is so hot!
Wesley Snipes
I'm staying at my mums until friday and then I have a full week end starting friday night, with movíe night with my sister, Filippa.
wiiiiiiiii
wiiiiiiii I'm falling!! nah, but almost. I have decided to drop my current courses in school and just focus on other things. More important things, at least for me. The problem still stands.. money. Always the same problem. This semester has been an up/down - heaven/hell journey and I am completely lost.
My haircut didn't turn out so bad after all. After my friend had cut it, I cut it again and then once again and now it's actually starting to look like I want it to :)
Today I was babysitting my mums little dog, Pop, and we took a walk over to Maria and Isak. Pop (the dog) isn't used to being in town so she went crazy and when she goes crazy I starts to howl like a wolf! She had to smell everything and be everywhere at the same time! She is a very special little thing and I love her so much. She is the cutest. I miss her now that she is nolonger here with me :(
By the way: Thank you Isak for dinner!
I want get a dog when I have more stability in my life, the kind I would love is an English bulldog. My mum thinks it's a stupid choice since your dog should always correspond to your type of person. It's no news that people look like their dog. She wants me to get a cute dog, like a chiwawa, but they look like big rats. And they shake like they are going to break!
Look at this cutie!! This littls guy is totally
the dog for me. They are lazy, like me, they
are cuddly just like me! Thank god I don't
look like one..... do I...? (please notice his
toad like paws)

two weeks behind
I have now ignored my school work for two weeks, meaning I have not yet started what I should have started two weeks ago with deadline last friday. This also means that instead of what I should start on today that has deadline in two weeks I have to start what I should have started two weeks ago.. well.. It'll work out some how.
I seem to spend all my time in front of the computer and tv these days, it is baaad. But I really have to get started now, I'm just gonna finish watching Top model and then I'm gonna turn the TV off, and I'm not allowed to turn it on until tonight!
I have noticed that I can only work under stress (not too much though)! I have not once done any home work until the last day. I can't do it without that deadline stress. I know everyone says you should always start in time but maybe that's just not me!
Oh, Top model's over and I'm struggling to turn of the TV before something else catches my interest......
..........and I'm back! Need to clean up the kitchen so that I can start to study.
I miss a certain person very much today, you know who you are, I am so glad I have finally reach your mind. You are so dear to me, you know it and I know it.
This is what I would love to get for christmas! I would die for it! I am sick and tired of my shitty camera! It doesn't really have to be this perticular camera but just a better one that I can actually learn how to take good pitcures with.
I always wanted a camera like this and I will read all the reviews and
get all the important information about this perticular one, Samsung
XN 100. I just saw the commercial on it and what can I say, I'm a very
easy to manipulate into buying things.
That's all for me folks.

Beautiful women from the past!
I will list some of the most beautiful women from the past, some of them are still alive today, some of them are no longer with us. The reason I'm doing this is because I was watching a program on the Lill-babs and I saw her when she was young and she was so pretty I just had to show her on my blog.
'
'
'
Lill - Babs is a Swedish singer and as growing up I never
realised what a beauty she was when she was young. She
has so much energy in her look, and so much attitude!
'
'
'
Grace Kelly - the princess of Monaco was such a natural
beauty, just take a look at her face features.
'
'
'
'
Brigitte Bardot has to be here, who wouldn't want to
look like her. I also like the fact that she is a living
example of what cigarettes do to you, as she now
looks like a raisin. Too many ciggies and too many
days in tanning in Nice.
'
'
'
Ingrid Bergman - Sweden's pride. No more to say,
also a natural beauty and her look is so typical
for that period of time.
'
'

Bisous Bisous!

I've had a double movie night with myself after my last day at work (yeeey), I am now sitting and listening to Aida, the opera before going to bed. I seem to have forgotten how much I like opera. Now that I'm thinking about it, opera is probably one of the most powerful genre of music that exist.
Anyway.. I'm not really in the mood for anything for the moment, there are too many things at the same time and I'm too confused to even take one thing at the time. Now I'm going to sleep, and I'm gonna stay that way until I wake up all by my self, no phones no alarm clocks. Just me, my duvet and my pillow.
I'll have to wake up before 2 though because I want to go swimming and since it's Sunday, it closes early.
I have been working in the perfume area for some time now and I have been smelling perfumes for about 100 hours.
Personally I don't use that much perfume, partly because I feel that it's false marketing. lol. Until I have a stable boyfriend I don't like using perfume since it hides a persons natural scent, which is the scent that actually attracts people to each other in the first place. If he thinks I smell nice without any perfume whatsoever, it's his instinct telling him it's a good match for him and that he will make strong children with this other person.
The perfumes I like the most are:
Balenciaga Paris
Lancôme Hypnôse
Miss Dior Chérie

PARIS!
I was so excited about my new lipstick I forgot to break the news to y'all! I finally bought my ticket to Paris. I'm so exited about this trip, I have no idea how it's gonna be to come to Paris again. I have so many plans:
- Do my usual routine of partying in Pigalle, baby!!
- Buy a purse if I find anyone nice
- Go see my little brother, Oscar and check out his new babysitter. (she better treat him well)
- Close my french bank account.
- Meet Cassandra if I can ever get a hold of her.
- Make Steven go on huge tour around Paris in his car. Yes, I am a very demanding friend :)
- Party with my best friend Dodo and have movie nights, I've missed him.
- Meet my musicien friend and maybe go to a concert.
Ok, so we all know how I am so we can just cut this list in half and then cut it in half again and that's pretty much all I will do.
I'm also planning to go see my sister in London after I have gotten back from Paris, the week after. So we'll see if that's possible. So there will be a lot of travelling. Which I love.I have plans to go to Dublin to look at my school in January, lets see how much I can afford.
I will give you one of my favorite songs now that I first heard this summer. I bet everybody knows it already because I'm always 10 years behind..
I have the biggest crush on the guy with the hair like a little girl! He is so cute. And I love his oufit, it's like he works in a circus! Although I think the music video is very B, sorry guys but I'm just not a big fan of that whole I've got money and lots of bitches attitude. It's pathetic.

For some reason everything I write gets pushed together, and there is no space between anything. It bothers me like hell. That's why I now have to make spots llike that... A thing like this

Nivea Volume Shine Ultra Glossy
I'm not working today, but I do have a meeting at 2 and before that I have to have to talk with my teacher about my grade.
I'm disappointed in my computer. Some functions have suddenly stopped working, I cant transfer photos into my computer from my camera. This means I can't show you guys the perfect shade of pink I got in lipstick! My god, it is really just perfect. It's Volume Shine Ultra Glossy from Nivea, as you all know I'm one of their make up artists. This color is number 3 called Berry Jelly and is NOT the color in this picture. This lipstick is a mix of lipstick and lipgloss, and it's 100 times better than those lipglosses that your hair gets stuck in everytime the wind blows. It is amazing, and such a great shine.
The fun thing about this lipgloss/lipstick is that it look SO different on your lips than when you just look at it. It just melts in perfectly! Nivea make up is very underappreciated.
Nivea Volume Shine Ultra Glossy
oups!
at 2 o'clock today at work, I was ready to throw in the towel and never ever work in the selling business ever again. I just need to be active at work and I had nothing to work with, just some coupons. And after my lunch something wonderful happened! My BOSS from Stockholm came as I was standing around doing nothing! I think she is the most inspiring person I've met. She just walked in and she brought the joy of selling back to me. Not that I want to continue but I feel like I can at least finish the jobs I have already accepted, but she got my energy up, just when I was about to crack.
When I finished work the people of Malmö had started celebrating that their football team had won the national thing. I don't even know what it's called but there was a lot of people singing some song.. I guess it's a special swedish team song or whatever, but it wad great. I could feel that football spirit, but then again. Don't really care that much.

Today I had the great pleasure of seeing a good friend of mine, Maja. I haven't seen her for about 3 years, the time does go by. She and I was pretty much inseparable when we went to Ecole Suedoise à Paris. Thats how my life in Pigalle started. She saw it happening, and we has a blast. Many lovely memories! :) aaaaw sweet!

Way behind
ah, I hate this! I haven't studied all week and I'm screwed now, since I'll be working all next week.
Today
I went for a swim, apparently there was a grand swimming competition, and so many people. I did 30 minutes before I got sick and tired of a certain gentleman who was determent to ruin my morning. He just could not stay on his side of the pool and (now I really get to shine:) I might not be in good shape right now but boy did I use to be, I even did competition at one point. So I when people swim bad and when they swim good. And this man was splashing his arms trying to be all professional. He moved his arms way too fast and really just made himself go much slower. And he was splashing water three meters in all directions possible. My god. horrible horrible swimmer.
What else happened today... hmm.. not much, spend another entire day in front of the computer. As I just wrote I am tired of school, and it's not going that well. I have too much work and I can't seem to dedicate my free time to school. I'd rather do fun stuff! :)
Now I'm watching Scream 2 with a big bowl of candy that I really don't feel like eating, that's a first! haha.
Don't sweat it, honey!
Bisous bisous
Alpha Blondy
As you all know the music I love the most is reggae. I have loved it ever sine I was litte and my sister had her reggae period with pictures of Bob Marley all over her room. I then decided that my future husband would be a rastaman. It almost happened but thats far gone now. But the music has always had a special place in my heart and I seem to enjoy french reggae the most.
This is why I have here a picture of a genious man. I might not agree with some things about him like the fact that he is into polygamy and has about 40 children. But hey, it's his life, and who wouldn't marry him if they had the chance. I'm talking about Alpha Blondy. He is the one who made me fall in love with a country I've never been to but that I'm in love with already, Ivory Coast.
I have tree favorite songs that no other song will beat: Cocody Rock, God bless Africa and Cameroun. Unfortunately I avoid listening to Cocody rock because it has so many memories, that I actually start to cry when I hear it. I have lived through alot listening to this song.
Also I adore the ivoirian french. I have always loved it and as I spoke to an ivoirian friend today, and I heard him speak, I realised how much I missed that accent. It's the most beautiful french you could ever find.
What I love about God bless Africa is the lyrics that is just amazing I think,
t'es pas obligé de fumer ganja pour etre un rasta
t'es pas oblige de fumer tchoukourou pour etre un rasta
t'es pas oblige d'etre un dread pour etre un rasta
t'es pas oblige d'etre un black pour etre un rasta
For those of you who doesnt speak french it pretty much means that you don't have to be the stereotype of rastas just cos you love reggea. Cos it's about what you have in your heart that's important.
Two other great songs that I love so much is Jah Light and Tampiri.
Alpha Blondy
I think my biggest dream is to go to a reggae festival in Abidjan, Ivory Coast. According to safe sorces they have so many talented young reggae musicians from all west africa, about to hit the big stages.
Well that's all for me folks!
Bisous bisous
sweet night!
Tonight was a sweet sweet night! I had Carro over for tacos as you all know. It was lovely, we gossiped, and we laught spoke of the golden days. The best part is when she cut my hair, as I mentioned before my hair is disaster. Well, now it's a little less disaster but I'm not quite there. I changed back to Kérastase, the best schampoo in the world. I am not kidding, for weak hair like mine it is worth the money, I'm telling you!! That has saved centimeters on my hair, and I couldn't live without it! I really couldn't.
Kérastase
Tomorrow I really have to get my school work done, and then I'm meeting Maria when she finishes work, so that will be great! :) My social life is blossoming but my school is suffering, so I'm gonna have to do something I hardy ever do: make an effort.
My head is killing me, so I think I will end this day and go to bed! Take care, beauties!
Bisous bisous!
Back on track
Finally I got my computer fixed. It has been hell on earth without it and I've been back and forth to my mums place for two weeks. And then a friend finally got time to help me. You should always have that one male friend who can help you out in these situations when you dont have a boyfriend.
So, what's new. Not much, really, I've been working (I work as a make up artist for Nivea). And it was so boring and empty in the store that I actually ended up couting purses and I made a list of designer bags walking by and since I have not much to write I thought I'd list them here:
- 7 Marc Jacobs (none like the one I own puuh:)
- 5 DKNY (I really dont like DKNY bags)
- 3 Gucci
- 2 Prada
- 2 Moschino
- 21 Mulburry (the classic design and I have always wanted one but after seeing 21 in them walking by I think not).
- 1 Puccini
- And others that I just cant remember anymore..
Today, Carro is coming over for dinner! Fun fun fun and before that I just really have to buy some kind of product for my hair, it's frizzy! I don't like frizzy, some people can pull it off, I'm not one of them!
Things are going very well with my Dubin plans. I have gotten the thumbs up from the school and I can now apply. It feels so strange planning to go to another city but Paris. My Paris days are over I think. But I still really wanna go to see the christmas decorations. It's either Paris or London to visit my sister. The Paris trip could be much more complicated, since I don't have anywhere to stay really. Thats what happens when you party away two years and don't bother making any "for life" - friends with whom it would be obvious to stay!
Now I am off to do some shopping, and then I'm picking my friend up. We are having a taco night, as usual. It's been ages since I haven't seen my little pastery. Lots of fun!!
Bisous bisous!
