Make shopping a little easier with a shopping trolley bag!

In Paris, everybody has it, youngsters and seniors, don matter! But in Sweden, well lets just say, young Swedes would rather carry two heavy plastic bags in each hand then to be confounded with an old person. That would be the walk of shame, to shop with a shopping trolley bag...

I think it's time everybody stop that bullshit. So I bought a black, very cute shopping trolley. I never thought I'd see the day! But yes.

If I had the money, trust me, I would have had home delivery. But this is the next best thing.

Mine was quite expensive so I hope it's good quality. I will be damned if I find it somewhere else for half the price.






The most practical thing I've ever bought in
my life! (this isn't mine. This one actually
looks like it belongs to a post office...)

minor crisis

I am starting to have second thoughts about Dublin. Well, not really Dublin, but the teacher thing. I am not sure if that's what I really want. When I was in high school I wanted to be either a nurse or a socialogist working in adoption.

Because of my fucking (sorry) ADHD, I am unable to focus and concentrate on my studies. So I just want them over and done with so that I can have babies and hopefully get married.


The problem is of course that my grades are way too low to be able get in to the sociologist program so I let the dream go a couple of years ago. But my dream would be to become a sociologist and then get a degree in sexology, and become a sex advisor for those who do not have a "normal" (come oooon, what is normal, really?) relationship towards sex. For instance, victims of sexual abuse or sex addicts and so on.

I would also like to congratulate my dear friend Kazuma, who is moving all the way up to Umeå in the north of Sweden because HE GOT IN TO MEDICAL SCHOOL!!! I am so proud of him, but I am gonna miss him lots and lots!!




I will so come to Umeå to see you, no matter how much snow there
is!

busy busy busy

Boy, have I been busy today! ..... well, compared to what I normally am. I have been in school all day, and I am totally in love with my English grammar teacher! He is so cute, in a grandfatherish way.

I will have to buy my books tomorrow, I'm so slow. I can't understand that I am actually in school now. I hope I'll stay motivated and focused though out the course, otherwise I'm in big trouble.

I'm having doubts about Dublin. Is this really what I want or am I just pushing myself to do fun things in life before it's too late? I have to admit.. Sweden isn't all that bad to be honest. I quite enjoy my stable and calm life here, but at the same time I wondering: Am I wasting my youth on things I will have all my life? I mean Sweden will always be here, and so will my friends (at least the true ones).

Anyway, I will have to make up my mind very soon because I have to apply for my school in Dublin at the end of february so, hurry hurry hurry buy my rice and curry. (Dr. Bombay, ah love him)

Well, all I know now is that you can spend your life anywhere, as long as you have peace in your heart.

First day of school

I will take a course in English. I will do the phonetic and grammar and all that jazz. But there are two things I am very much looking forward to: Swedish/English translation and English writing. Then there is a literature part too that I'm not thrilled about since I have a mountain of books on my nightstand.

So, now I've spend hundreds of Swedish crowns on books for school. It's so depressing... Tomorrow I will buy a new hand bag. I hope. I have my eye on one, but the store is always closed. I will be so mad if it's gone once I get there. So I decided to be the first one there as they open tomorrow morning.



Sleepless at midnight

Even when I was a little child I never fell asleep before 12 at night, I remember laying awake when the clock strikes 12 and being so scared of ghosthour. I have always been tired in the morning and full of enegry at night, but I am getting quite fed up with this ridiculous behavior of mine. I was so hungover today and I was so tired that I could barely keep my eyes open. So I went to bed, at 22.45 or so. And I fell asleep straight away. And suddenly I woke up thinking it was in the middle of the night, and I looked at the time: it was 23.55. And I'm fully awake!


I just do not understand why I can't fall asleep before midnight and why I always wake up a few minutes before just to feel totally rested and unable to go back to sleep. It doesn't matter if I get up early every morning, I will never be able to sleep before midnight anyway, so I have to rest during the day if I feel tired.


Right now I feel like crying because I'm so frustrated, it's my first day of school tomorrow and I really wanna get a good night sleep.






Maybe my subconscious is afraid of this little fella!





Oh my, last night was rough.

I had my jello shot night with Helena yesterday and wow, I will not do that again for a very long time.. I am awfully hungover.

We woke up at 11.30 to the high and mighty voice of Prince. Let's just say that I wouldn't wish to ever wake up to his voice after a night of vodka jello shots again.

But we got up and she went to her parents house and I was off to see my sister and three other lovely ladies. My head was killing me and I was so tired but I went anyway and as I was a little bit early so I went to a store just to check out the sale and I have decided to buy a skirt that I love and also a silk blouse tomorrow.




Cute little skirt, you will be mine tomorrow.





The blouse come in three different colors: gold, grey and black. I'm
sure I will buy the gray and the black, but the golden one I'm not that
sure. It doesn't match my skinn tone that well. We'll see. And the best
part: It's on sale!!



I also have my eye on a potential hand bag that I will check out tomorrow. I hope it will not be gone when I go there to check it out.

my blog name sucks...

I've had some complains about the name of my blog... that it is a complicated name to remember. And to be completely honest, well, I'm sick and tired of this name too.

In fact I'm thinking about starting a whole new blog, and start all over again. Or, I'll suck it up and stand for my ridiculously ingenious blog name.

I don't brainstorm very well, so I was soooo pround that I came up with "Nico - loves - it". The pretty thing about this name is that you can play with words and the spelling and turn it into "Nicol - ove - sit", (Nicole off sight) and things like that....and I thought it was fuckin hilarious at the time.. But now I realize.. it's not really that funny...  It's rather pathetic if you think about it..

If I ever start a band I hope I will have better luck....

Animal free make up!

For some people the ingredients in make up is disturbing. For some muslims certain make up marks is a big no no because it contains animal derivatives, pigg fat for example. This mark is the first halal approved make up in Europe, which is amazing for muslim women (and some men, I guess). Did you know that some natural products out there has something called Carmine, it doesn't say that much but let me translate it for you: it means crushed beetle...

Samina is animal free, alcohol free, chemical free, it doesn't contain mineral oil and it is not tested on animals!

As a make up artist, I think it's important that products have good ingredients and although I haven't tried the Samina make up yet, I think it's a good start.

http://saminapuremakeup.co.uk/ here you can see what products they have and you can probably order it too.

preparing for saturday

Another morning with swimming with Helena. Uh, I don't know how it's gonna go once I move to Dublin and I'll have to swim all alone. It's gonna be fucking hard!

After the swimming, we went to Systembolaget and bought everything we needed to make our jello shots for tomorrow night!  We are having a girls drunken party sleep over - thing. It's so simple to make them, half water half vodka and put it in small plastic shot glasses. Super facile.

Then I did Helena's make up and she was g-o-r-g-e-o-u-s. I've done her make up many times but today I tried something different and let's just say... I haven't completely lost my touch.





Preparations










Ready, steady, go!





All ready for tomorrow. Nothing is stopping us now.

The Vagina (not for prudes)


I just finished watching a documentary about vaginas, about the perfect vagina. It was horrifying to see so many women really hating their vagina. Some of them because of what men have told them. Comments that men might not understand will scar the woman for a long time afterwards.

What does the perfect vagina look like then? Is it small? light pink? dark red? What about the inner and outer lips? Are they suppose to be small or large?
Is there a difference between what girls prefer and what guys prefer when it comes to vaginas. Maybe men don't care all that much, but since they seem to comment every vagina they see, they most certainly must have their preference, mustn't they?
What about shaving? I personally do not like when the man is completely shaved for the simple reason that it is there for a reason, isn't it?

This shaving thing also seems to be trends coming and going. In the olden days a full bush was the sexiest thing ever! Now it's just ugly and doesn't look all that fresh. It isn't until recently this anti hair has come. Will it go away it is the what I like to call "the vagina of a little girl" here to stay?
It also seems to depend a little on the type of guy in question. Some don't want to see any hair, and some like their girl au naturel. One thing is for sure, this is none of the man's business. How you wear your vagina is your business, I surely would get pissed off at my boyfriend if he ever asked me to change my vagina in any way, whether it would be to shave or to grow it all out!





The vagina - it's beautiful, because it is yours. And you wear it as you
feel and see fitted.

just keep swimming and keep deep conditioning...

Today I snoozed for about two hours, and I was so tired and I really didn't feel like getting out of my bed.. I had some breakfast and some coffee and I decided that I was not going to let a bad case of PMS destroy my weekly routine of swimming. Not only did I do that, but I also swimmed for one hour, as to my normal 40 minutes! So proud of myself! aaaah :)

I was in the sauna with deep conditioner today! I highly recommend it about every 5th hair-wash, and if you sit in the sauna with deep conditioner, the hair will open up and grates the deep conditioner with amazing grace! Once again, I cannot stop recommending my favorite mark: Kérastase.
Kérastase is so good, but very expensive. On the other hand it does last a very long time. I've had mine since last summer and I'm just about half way through it!

I use the whole serie: Shampoo, conditioner and deep conditioner, and after having used that I don't think I'd be able to use anything else. I did a test with my hairdresser when I started to use this instead of some other shitty supermarket shampoo and it really does help, at least on someone with such a delicate hair like mine, people with normal quality hair needn't bother with all that expensive shit, lucky you...







Gräddhyllan och Glitter

I had coffee with my lovely beatiful friend Maria today and I bought pearl earings! I have wanted them for a while now and I finally got the chance to go and buy them and I'm glad Maria was with me since she is so stylish herself, and also, she knows my style so she helped me choose. I wish my cam took better pics but this will have to do! :)

Both me and Maria is starting school next Monday and we are quite nervous. We have decided to live a better and healthier life to be able to cope.......... the fact that she bought candy about 10 minutes after is just.. well.. The important thing is that I didn't, and for that I'm proud!




My new pearls! <3



Pregnant without knowing it!


A while back a friend or mine told me that a girl she knew had been pregnant and didn't know about it until she went into labor. Obviously I didn't believe her. But she assured me that it was true. This girl did have what she thought was her period but was probably just bleedings from the pregnancy (which by the way should immediately get checked by a doctor) and one day she got a great pain, and she went to the hospital and they told her that she was going to give birth. She got so chocked, and well, she didn't really have much of a choice on whether or not she wanted to become a mother. If this is the full and correct story, I don't know. But apparently this is more common than one would think.

Studies show that it's more likely for someone to give birth without knowing about it than it is to give birth to triplets! A study in Germany showed that 300 mothers a year went into labor without knowing about their pregnancy! An American study showed that 1 out of 475 pregnancies are not detected until the 20th week.

What worries me the most about not knowing you are pregnant is the fact that you continue your life as if you weren't pregnant. Meaning you will drink, you will smoke, you will do everything as you normally do. And this means that you could eventually hurt the fetus and you will get a disable sick and unwanted/unexpected child, because you didn't know. That is horrible.

Handsome gentlemen

I will make a list of hot, sexy, classy men. I'm very picky when it comes to men, especially white ones (once you go black you never go back, right??). But here are a few of my favorite men. I think the best looking men are the old movie stars from before the 60's. Some like it hot, oh yes they do :)






The handsome Clark Gable, also known as Mr. Rhett
in "Gone with the wind". I might not like Clark Gable
as much as I like Mr. Rhett. I love his attitude and
his charm.





Sean Connery, aka. James Bond. As I'm writing
this I'm watching Just Cause, featuring this insa-
nely gorgeous man at a much older age, and let
me tell you this: I wouldn't mind marry him even
if he is 60 +.




James Dean, there is not much to say about this
one, really. He is just drop dead hot. His career
was pretty short, considering that he died at the
early age of 24 in a car accident. I bet that if he
had lived longer he would have had a blossoming
career.




So, these are a few of the men I would not at all mind being married to. In fact I would like to live in the 40's, 50's or 60's.

Sundays are boring. So is Madonna.

I'm bored. I have had a busy weekend, and I fell asleep at 4 in the morning, meaning I woke up late. Why is it that Sundays are so boring, the weather is horrible and there is no one on skype or MSN, and there is nothing good on TV. I'm watching: The next best thing with Madonna and Rupert Everett.

I don't understand why Madonna has changed her accent like that. It sounds ridiculous, her fake Brittish/American accent. I mean everybody has heard of the Madonna syndrome, a few of my freinds have it. And I'm planning to get a little of the Madonna syndrome once I live in Dublin, but that's different since English is not my mother tongue.

Before accepting that I was gonna watch this stupid film, I cared for my plants a bit. I just love my plants. I don't have green fingers at all but I seem to manage some how. Thank god.








This is my baby plant, I took it from her mother:

About waxing

Bikini waxing is a real bitch, there is no way in hell I will ever try that again. But waxing the legs aren't as painful. The problem when I wax my legs are that the hair seem to break off without the root because they are so thin. I might not have found the right wax yet.

I cannot stand when my legs aren't shaved. And no, it is not because I don't feel like a real woman with hairy legs. It's simply because it feels disgusting when I put lotion on my legs and it gets all sticky. I only shave my legs for me, not for men, as some women do. That's insane, the guy doesn't like you because of your smooth legs and if he does, you should probably consider breaking up with him anyway.

I shaved my legs today before having tried real hard to grow it a little to be able to wax but they have to be 0,5 cm or more. But I just couldn't wait til the hair was long enough to get waxed. But I just hate having to shave every other day. This time I will try extra hard in order to get hairy legs, but it's just taking forever to grow it to proper waxing length!!

These silly dreams of mine (long one)

Last night I dreamt that I had been in a coma for 8 months. And just when I fell into the coma, I was about to go on a date with this amazing perfect guy. When I woke up everybody was all over me and I didn't realize that I had been gone for such a long time! I had no idea where my date had gone to and I searched on facebook but he had deleted his facebook profile OR blocked me (I don't know which one is worst).
For some reason I was terrified of water and my sister had to convince that there was no danger in walking over a bridge because I completely froze.


And the night before that I dreamed that I was in labor and I actually felt the pain of giving birth it was most bizarre. When I woke up I started searching for a crib with my newborn baby in it.
I almost never have nightmares. I'd like to think my dreams are trying to tell me something, and it turns out that many times i realized it too late, and I go, I should have listened to my dream!
There are many theories about dreams, but it's hard to prove something like that. Some studies tell us that it's our mind who is trying to catch up with what we have experienced the day before, the brain is processing information that it doesn't have time to do when you are awake. That's why you need a lot of sleep when you are depressed or going through a hard time in life.

Some psychologists mean that dreams show out inner thoughts that the society we live in are making us ignore, because they are not fitted. They can also be your subconscious trying to reach your mind as you sleep and isn't busy with taking in new information.

If you ask me, I think it's a mixture of all of these things. I think it's for processing, and for my deepest wishes that I share with no one, and also my subconscious, OR maybe not even my subconscious but some spirit who is trying to guide you. Who knows? You dream of what you wish for, and what you fear, and what you miss in life. Maybe things that you dare not think about when you are consciously awake is popping up when you sleep....?

Helenas birthday!

Yesterday we celebrated Helenas 24th birthday, with a lot of people. We started with dinner at Gloria's in Lund, where they serve burgers and salads. I was being naughty and I had french fries with my burger instead of greek salad, I shouldn't have because I got so full I couldn't move. One big minus was the fact that they did not ask how we would like our burger, and they served it very bloody, I love that, but the birthday couldn't eat it, and she actually ate around the rare part, meaning she ate the both sides that weren't bloody. (and then I ate the rest).

Some got pretty drunk, as we continued to another bar... and then another.. At 2 in the morning I felt it was time to go home. So I hugged the little birthday girl good bye (if she remembers:) put on great music on my iPod and sang my way home, there was no one but me out and the snow was falling quietly, and there was I singing along to french rap. Lovely.

Côte d'Ivoire

I'm not an expert in politics, but I'm pretty sure that what is going on in Ivory Coast is against democracy. I have quite a lot of friends from this county, many of very upset and sad about the situation. Basically, the former president, Laurent Gbagbo, refuses to give up his place as president for, Alassane Ouattara (who is in housearrest for safety reasons) chosen by the people for president. Let's just hope this will not create another civil war in Ivory Coast and that no innocent children are killed.

For those of you who doesn't know, I have always been in love with this country, long before I even met an iviorian. There is just something about Ivory Coast that makes my heart beat a little faster, and they also speak the most beautiful french I've ever heard.







I will give you Ca me fait si mal by Alpha Blondy, my favorite who conveniently enough is from Ivory Coast.

2010 was the year I got strong.


2010 is probably one of the toughest and most complicated year so far in my 23 year old life. It started out really bad and I had to fight my way thru it, and I can't say that happiness has been a big part of 2010. But I got damn strong in the process! And I'm so proud of myself and that I was able to get to where I am today, mentally. When people hurt you, you can either accept it and let them crush you, or you can choose to put the enegry from your pain and stand up tall and say: you can't touch me. The person you thought was one of the most important person in your life, turns out to be the one from whom you should run away fast. And I'm glad he was, because he is the reason why I might actually make the most of my life and be happy. So thank you for hurting me to save me.  

I've been socially busy since I got back from my mother's house, and I'm so tired, and I feel like I have a thousand things on my mind right now. I have so much to do with my school in Dublin, the application is so hard to do, so many people is gonna have to be involved in this. Also I start school in two weeks here in Sweden and I would be very pleased if everything would be ready by then!

Now I'm off to make dinner, on the meny is Spaghetti bolognese, oh là là!






Lunch with friends today in Malmö. This is a new place, where you get
gigantic pasta salads for a very reasonable price and no one could finish
their meal, but it was good! Very messy table....





This is my perfect spoon. For some preople it  might be considered as
stupid to hava a favorite spoon, but it is lovely! I love  eating  with  it!
It perfect and it is what I call a real "ice cream eater spoon".  Like the
one they had in My little Pony at the ice cream bar. I have always been
very picky when it comes to forks and spoons. They can not have any
sharp edges or be pointy in any way.
This spoon is like a curvy beautiful woman!

New Year!


Happy new year everyone! I hope you enjoyed yourselfs and did major partying. I'm not a big fan of New years, I don't like partying and getting drunk in the blizzering Swedish cold. (I do wonder how many legs were broken last night). That is why I decided to spend it quietly like an adult, with my mother. We took the car, and we drove all the way up to Spa Skansen in Båstad where we had a lovely New years buffé!

After we went for a small walk, the whole shore was frozen and we were walking on a thick layer of pure ice! But we made it without falling,and we decided to go to another pretty ville. Torekov, were everybody hangs during summer, but in wintertime it's a ghost town! But this pretty weather with the snow covered houses and trees.

After a one hour drive we came back home and made dinner and tryed our new bread machine and watched Sällskapsresan 2 and then suddanly it was midnight! We watched the fireworks from three different cities, my mum has an amazing view from her house.

We opened out bottle of Champagne, my mum had one glass before going to bed, and I drank the rest alone, watching TV. I loved it. There was a little bit of sadness in my heart because I was thinking of all the people I've met in my life who I will probably never see again and I wondered what they're doing, if they are happy and if I ever cross their mind the way they cross mine. And I missed/still missing one person the most, a very good friend and I miss this friend so much! But it's too complicated and too much has happened, but if ever he would reed this, just know that I do care, no matter what you think. I do. And I miss you so much, dispite all that has happened.
