Couldn't be more annoyed with blogg.no. I haven't been able to log on to this blog for days!....

So this is just a quick update.

They couldn't be more perfect (except for the fact that they are a bit too small for me, but I guess that will be motivation for me to work out.).

So excited for summer now!

I was beyond stoked when I got this in the mail the other day! The packaging was soo cute, and I love the palette more than any eyeshadow I've ever owned. The reason I decided to get the first NAKED palette instead of the second one was really because of the primer, since I wanted to try it. 

My favorite so far is probably HALF BAKED - prettiest gold color I've ever seen! But the other ones are great too. When I get the hang of it I might post some looks and how to make them! Just need to charge my camera first, (I apologize for instagram pictures all over the place.)

I've worn this eyeshadow to a few parties, and even after a long night out and hours of sleeping I woke up with smokey eyes, just the way I made them. Awesome!

One of the best movies ever made, and I'd say it's a lot better if you watch it in the movie theater AND in 3D! I loved every second of it, so if you're one of those that haven't watched it yet, you really should! The movie is not only a cheesy love story, it has debth and there are many different stories in this movie which makes the movie work on so many levels! Everytime I watch it I notice more details and I see things that I haven't realized is sad before. Although some of the scenes are not as sad at they used to be, only if I'm in a very depressed mood at the time.

OH SNAP. DANIEL RADCLIFFE. ♥♥♥ Probably one of the scariest movies I've watched. The trailer didn't reveal too much about the movie, which was a good thing. I'm not all that into those blood and gore movies, since I find them discusting and not scary. When stuff pops up on the screen on the other hand, THAT scares me. So during most parts of the movie I was holding onto the popcorn for dear life, trying to prepare myself for things popping up on screen so that I wouldn't jump or scream. In the trailer I didn't think Daniel Radcliffe looked all that good either, but in the movie; wow! HE'S HOT! (So now I'm probably sending him new fan letters soon.) Definately worth watching!

Since I promised you that I would write about the blogs I read, here it goes! I'm so done with reading about normal, blonde, tanorexic teenage girls life, so I stopped reading those blogs, and started reading these blogs instead:

The blonde salad - Fashion blog

bycelina - Norwegian girl that lives in Monaco! Her life seems so wonderful, and her style is perfect! I also love that her blog is in english!

Nette Nestea - Seems like she's living the dream, and I wish I had her wardrobe!

Fashiiondiaries - (the picture above is stolen from her blog) I wish I was this brave and had this sense of style! She's awesome!!

Hilde Christina - I absolutely LOVE this blog! It's probably the one that I visit the most, since it seems like she has the answer to everything. She's animal friendly, which I really appreciate in people, and if I'm not sure if a product is tested on animals I can assure you that I will go on her blog to try to figure it out. 

Vegetarbloggen - so many awesome recipes for vegetarians! I can sit for hours just scrolling down, drooling over all the fantastic food! 

Siljesreise - even more vegetarian food! And I love it! This girl is so inspiring, and her blog is full of things you just want to try for youself! This is my number one favorite blog. She has really helped me become more animal friendly, and she gives everyone tips on what/where to buy food, and what to make! BEST BLOG EVER.

VintageVirgin - I have a thing for bloggers with awesome style, and this is another one of those. She's absolutely fantastic. I'd say her style is pretty daring and very well put together! I love it.

So now you probably have tons of fashion and food inspiration, right?

I was contemplating on staying in this weekend to just relax, and make time for reading, taking pictures and such. But since I kind of wanted to meet people I decided to go out... This small island never ceases to amaze me, it has so many things to do and I keep learning new things about it all the time. Like this weekend, I discovered that they sell mozzarella sticks here! That's like my favorite appetizer from Applebees! Anyway, the night turned out to be a lot of fun, even though I was worrying about the way I looked before I went out. I just love dressing up and doing my makeup! It's usually the best part about going out if you ask me.

Here's a glimpse of my "new" hair:

Obviously I'm in need of a new header, since I chopped off all my hair, and do not even look like what my header suggests right now... Haha. Gonna have a photoshoot soon!

I'm currently reading a very interesting book, and I have two book reviews that I still haven't posted on my blog yet! Might just do that some day.

Tomorrow I will reveal what blogs I read. So stay tuned! 

So since I love watching stuff on youtube, I thought I'd share videos with you every now and then, in between other entries of course.
I think I know a few people that would have enjoyed this version a lot!

And I kept looking through their channel on youtube and I found quite a lot of funny ones, that you should probably check out.

Let me know what you think.

Even though it's not monday today it sure felt like one. Today I started working again, after a week of easter break and I have no idea how I even managed to get out of bed this morning. I woke up in the middle of the night to a sound that made me very annoyed and the sound repeated itself every minute. Like something banging against the floor. I HATE noises that repeat themselves, so this was an absolute nightmare for me. I tossed and turned in bed, trying to block the noise out. Focusing on other things so that I would fall asleep again, but I mean how easy is it to fall asleep with your fingers in your ears?.. Yeah. Didn't work for me. I think I was awake for about two hours in the middle of the night. Turned on music on my iPhone to drown out the sound, but I just kept singing along to the songs instead of getting tired.

Enough about that... After work today I went outside to take some pictures so that you can see where I live. Some of the island at least!

It's so cold outside! I really didn't like that the snow decided to make another appearance before spring finally gets here... Today it was pretty much impossible to ride my bike, since the roads where covered in snow/slush/ice. Hoping for rain tonight!

I went a bit overboard when I went shopping at the airport. I mean, I had so much time to kill before my next flight, so I just couldn't help myself. My new obsession is however kind of useful(?) at least according to my dad; who thinks clothes, shoes and makeup is a waste of money. What I bought was books. Not one book, not two. But five...

I know, that was probably more than I needed. But I just couldn't decide on which ones to choose, since there were so many of the books I've been dying to read! They were lying there, right in front of me, begging me to read them. So I had to buy them.

I didn't buy all the books I wanted though, so it could have been worse! But I already have some books in mind that I want to read when I finish reading these. I'm so excited to read all of them!

I tend to be a bit impulsive, and a day in February was no exception.. I was talking to this guy I met in New York about three years ago when I decided that it would be a good idea to go all the way to Switzerland to visit him. Without really thinking; I booked flight tickets, and the 30th of March I left Norway...
Imagine booking tickets to a foreign country to meet a guy that you hardly know... That's pretty crazy even for me. I must admit I was a bit worried that it would be really awkward, but luckily it wasn't.

The impression I got  of Switzerland was very positive. Although I was very shocked that there weren't mountains everywhere, as I had pictured. Switzerland sort of reminds me of Norway, only I'd say I might actually like Switzerland better. They seemed to me a lot more open minded and more environment friendly, a bit more understanding when it comes to those kind of things.

We didn't do much when I was there, since I basically didn't wake up till noon every day... And I must admit I was pretty lazy, can I blame it on me being in an easter break mood, maybe?... But riding around on his motorbike, listening to Britney in the car (oh yes!), meeting up with a girl we met in New York and going to the movies twice! Is not too bad if you ask me.
And also, going to starbucks, that's just something that belongs in the blogosphere! Just the way I like it. And I love to talk, so sitting at a cafe is to me so much better than running around doing stuff all the time. Of course something in between would be the best, but relaxing is pretty great. Playing videogames, and watching youtube videos till early in the morning. We also went to a 90s party, but that didn't really turn out the way we'd hoped. It was the day I arrived there and I was exhausted after traveling, so going out was probably not the best idea anyway...

But I really had a great time!

The snowy picture in the middle is taken when I got back to norway.

I ALMOST got a tan even. In April, while the snow is covering the ground here in northern norway with around 50 cm. I absolutely loved seeing the sun again, after months of darkness in my own country. 

The only thing I thought was a bit strange, was how they greeted eachother. Three kisses on the cheeks. Or as they told me, it could be a hug or just one kiss, depending on their relationship to that person. Pretty confusing if you ask me!

Whenever I heard people speak french, I would just zone out of the real world and just listen to what was being said, even though I don't understand anything. Recognized some numbers though! But other than that I only know "Bonjour! Quelle heure est-il? Comment allez-vous?" and things like that. Not even sure if that's right, but oh well. I'm determined to learn how to speak french now! Already started practicing! Haha. It probably is one of the most beautiful languages in the world.

We bought macaroons since all the bloggers eat them, and I don't want to be any less of a blogger than other girls. But once again all the fabulous things I heard about this was shattered like broken glass when I tasted it. Last time it was the sushi that disappointed me, but I was really looking forward to this! Haha I wouldn't recommend it to anyone, I've tasted things that are a lot better...

I can't say I made a whole lot of effort to really see Switzerland when I was there, but the things I got to see made me like it, and I'm pretty sure I will be going back there sometime to see the things I didn't see this time. But look at the buildings on the picture above! They were gorgeous escpesially when it was getting dark outside, and they lit up. The view over the city was great too, and the bridges! Amazing. Kind of regret not bringing my camera, since I know I would have gotten some great shots...

I've always thought that I hated airports and flying, but it turns out I really don't. In the beginning it was confusing and scary to get on a plane, however after a few times on different airports I'm getting used to it, which probably is why I am now able to relax completely. See, when you're eating the last piece of your pretzel, reading your book and listening to the lady next to you have a deep conversation with her dog. You realize that being on the airport doesn't always have to be that stressful.
There are so many different people to observe at airports: couples, old people, kids; and everyone is different. I always find myself wondering where they are going and what their life is like, for all I know they might be going on an exciting trip to a foreign country - doing something they've never done before. But most likely they've booked cheap tickets to Mallorca or Alanya, and are going to get drunk on the beach while listening to dupstep and loud scandinavian people. It's fun though, because you never know. There are so many interesting people out there.

After spending the night at Gardermoen airport TWICE, I was so terribly tired that I can recall waking up on the plane wondering why it had stopped, it is pretty obvious that my stay and multiple train rides in Switzerland had influenced me, and I came to the conclusion that we were just letting some more people on. That's how tired I was.

Always been a fan of The Midnight Beast, they're great! Keeps me entertained for hours. Lez Be Friends is my favorite of their songs I think :)
