My Swedish Day

Today I'll go back to swedish for one day. Sorry about that to all of my international readers (as you are so many ;))
But I got these questions from my fellowbeautyqueen Jessica and I'm going to answer them below:

1. Ungefär hur mycket lägger du på smink/hudvård per månad?

Lite olika. Omkring 500 på smink och ansiktsvård, mindre på kroppsvård

2. Vad väckte ditt intresse för smink?

Inspiration från kompisar och syster, tidningar, MTV (tidig Madonna etc)

3. Favoritmärke? Varför?

MAC. Bra kvalité och de har bra färger för min mörka hy ffa foundations och puder

4. Var handlar du ditt smink? Favoritbutik/favoritsite?

NK, Åhlens, COW
Har aldrig handlat smink på nätet. Är väl fånig och konservativ men jag vill alltid prova först

5. Nämn något som kännetecknar din make-up:

För diskret. Försöker anstränga mig och använda mer färger och sminka mig oftare.

6. Vilket var ditt sämsta respektive bästa skönhetsköp någonsin?

Bästa: helt klart mitt lösa puder från MAC. Tyvärr är burken för stor att ta med i partyväskan men jag använder det varje dag. Med fuktad svamp för täckande effekt, mindre täckande/vardagssmink vanlig svamp, för att matta ner stor borste.

Sämsta: har tyvärr väldigt många produkter jag aldrig använder men absolut sämst var en YSLfoundation som var helt fel färg för mig.

7. Hur sminkade du dig för 5/10/15 år sedan?

5 år sen: ungefär som idag men hade sämre kvalitet på sminket. Sminkade mig endast till fest.
10 år sen: Mycket konstiga färger, var väldigt inne på ethnolooken dvs bruna, mörkröda och beiga matta ögonskuggor
15 år sen: Det är väl preskriberat nu :) men lila glitter, (för) mycket läppglans, rosa, blått. Och mascara i olika färger…

8. Bästa hudvårdsprodukterna?

Make up-bort: MUJI’s face soap
Ansiktstvätt: Lancome self foaming cleanser, Clearasil Total
Ansiktsvatten: IOD/DIOR
Ansiktscreme: Lancome 24H… eller Helena Rubinstein Hydro Urgency


9. Bästa makeup-produkterna?

MAC foundations och puder
Biotherme ögonskuggor
Kanebo 38 degrees mascara
L’Oreals primer

10. Bästa hårprodukterna?

African Pride

11. Bästa kroppsvårdsprodukterna?

Dove bodylotions
Body Shop’s Africa Spa body salt scrub

12. Bästa skönhetsbloggen?
Måste väl säga Jessica och Anna

Nog för nu!

Ha en bra dag

Midsummer is over

for now. And still no internetconnection in the house. Damn, I need to start taking control over my life and just not go with the flow....

The flow got me a very nice sunday with the ex-boyfriend Anders, now just friend :) Lunch at Moderna museet and then a walk around town ending up with coffee in Gamla Stan.

Midsummers eve was spent at the folks place. Had some 20 people over for BBQ - really nice! Made a fab pannacotta with milkchocolate.
Had to leave in quite a rush due to my allergy. Cleo the cat was sleeping with me in my bed and mae my lungs swell so I made a nearly perfect Darth Vadervoice. Got up at 4 and cleaned the kithcen and the a cab home at around 4.30ish.

Did absolutely nothing on Saturday, watched TV, dvd and had some wine...

More flow on Thursday; me and Hannah spent the evening at Metro with J and some of his friend. Made a new 27-year old buddy... He gave me a "compliment" "you're so beutiful in spite of being 32"... oh well, when I was 27, 32 was old... I'm and old fart, fab but still an old fart ;)
Must say Metro was really nice, the rose was great ;) J is as always very nice o me... god!!!

Was late for work today due to the total incompetence of SL. Total stop in the subway - enden up waiting for about 30 mins and then I got sick of waiting and walked in to town. Good thing the sun was shining and I'm wearing comfortable shoes.

As the shopoholic I am: the summers sales start today. Must stop by NK and ZARA today and Mango and HM tomorrow....
Back news: dentist appointment on Thursday - shit!! But my tooth really hurt now and it's best to get it fixed before Portugal. Only 6 days to go now and then off to vacation!
Will be so nice. Having a little gathering at my place on Sunday (laundry day) to make some decisions and watch a fado-dvd.

Well off to lunch now

Take care

Midsummers

Almost time to leave the office now and get ready for the BIG celebrations tomorrow. Wonder why midsummers is such a big deal?!?!
I suggested, as I do every year, that we should celebrate it the oldfashion way ie with bloodsacrifice. Noone seemed interested. Would be a sight to see us dance around a huge fire naked and drunk... ;)

Had J over last night after huge amount of textmessages that almost made me crazy. He knows how to drive me up the walls.
Had dinner at the folks place last night - nice. They are leaving for the northen parts of Sweden today so me and sis are staying at the house for the weekend.

Got a great idea for the officeparty day. It is supposed to rain on Wednesday so we'll be going to a museum and see a robotexhibition and then off to dinner.
Should be nice.

For the party tomorrow it'll be mostly my sisters friend but the a quite nice. Hannah will be there so if things get to bad we'll just go off into the usual cocktailfrenzy and get totally plastered :)

Anyways, time for me to go and get some icecream and then probably off to AW at Metro.

Take care

Gone public

Well, now some people I know now knows about my blogg... not so secret anymore then :)

A quiet day at work, no office cutie to watch. Too bad cause I look especially good today cause of dinner with dad tonight.
Went to the bank during lunch today to pay of my loan. Now that is done I can start spending some serious money. YESSS!!

Saw a couch that I like and I need to update my bathroom. The prevoius owner probably spilled a whole bottle of perfume in the bathroomcupboard so it really stinks.

Will take one day and go to IKEA and do some serious shopping. I just need someone to drive me. One of the disadvantages of not having a drivers license. Might be time to start learning to drive but I can't really be bothered to. Rather spend my money on stuff like shoes and bags and champagne ;)

Went by JUS yesterday and picked up a Xuly Bet, my favourite designer, -dress and a top. Ran into Mattias and his not yet official girlfriend Maria. She is not what I excpected but she seems nice.
Then Gonz o and I went to Buddha Bar for drinks. My god, the service was so bad! Then onto more shopping at the Addidas sale. Found one pair of really nice white running pants... who wears white going out running?!?! Didn't have the heart to buy them so I'll keep looking for new training clothes.

My new white shoes really rock :)

Have to go to Systembolaget today and stock up for Midsummer parties. Wonder why I still feel the need to drink just because it's midsummer. Could be just any Friday but no no. You have to sit outside eat herring and have BBQ in the evening. So predictible but it's nice :) and very swedish.
Today it's raining and cold, not looking good for the week end... I'll be spending it at my parents place looking after Cleo the cat and the house. They have no internetconnection and no cable...

Anyway, better get back to work now

Have a great week end and hope it won't rain to much on your heads. Not good for the hair you know ;)

Love

Working girl...

Well, not that kind of working girl :)

Sunny and crazy warm today. Wish I was outside drinking champagne and checking out hot men... Well you can't have it all.

Got some cool website tips from AnnaT
www.champagnesidorna.se

So, today the annual summer sale at JUS starts so Gonz and I will be there and on Friday it's NK...

No exciting news on the men-front but J is as always no 1... Suppose I have some abuse issues - keeping wanting that which isn't good for me...:) The office-cutie is still oh so cute but oh so bad news. "Don't fuck the company and don't shit where you eat" right?!?!?

Did some shopping yesterday:
nice new shoes at Scorett and a denim skirt from Company's.

So Midsummer is coming up and sis is having a party, she has some BBQ-thing going on.

Met the Ladies of Sällskapet last week. Spent the evening at Brasserie by the Sea and Hilton. Quite a nice evening with some very adult conversations about babies and weddings... I really don't do babies but weddings are usually fab. I'm sure Ali's wedding will be everything she wants and more...

Oh, big family news: Step-bro is a two-times daddy now: Felix (?) turned up on June 5th.

Well, better get back to work now!

Take care
Love!

New updates...

haven't updated in a while due to no internetconnection in my house...

So, whats new?!?!

Was out Saturday with Hannah. Dinner at NOX with plenty of champagne and then salsadancing with Martin and Kattis from work. Had a really nice time :)

Lived one week in the new apartment and I really like it. Got the Sex and the City-dvdbox as a present for myself - because I'm worth it you know.
Spent some time shopping too: 2 new bags and some stuff for the apartment.

No news on the J-issue, must have a certain conversation I think. This back and forth is way too much for my nerves. Hannah says go slow but after having slept togehter for almost 1 year I really don't know how much we can slow down.
Gonzo is doing some spying for me re his feelings...

Off to dinner now...

Have a great week and enjoy the sun :)

In the new place

Spent my first night at the new place. It's still quite a mess though but it's getting nicer and nicer.

Hannah and Joachim helped me move in. J is quite the organizer - unexpected but it was good. H and I started discussing clothes and J got this look on his face but he didn't say anything. Once a fashion addict always a fashion addict. Stopped i Nyköping for some pizza and then back to town.

Yesterday was spent with the folks. I only got angry once, so trying to act like an adult around them sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.... In the evening I had new weaves made. If I may say so myself: I really kick ass with this new look ;) Today I did my Hollywood Diva thing. Hair up and big black sunglasses :)

Tonight I'm cleaning up and I also have to make my presentation for school tomorrow. Can't believe it's the last day. We've come a long way and now it's over. God I hope I won't cry... but I don't think so. Got a lot of great stuff going on right now...

Might be seeing J tonight again. Have missed him in some weird way.... No matter what he is a sweet guy but no really the one to count on... or sometime he is... I don't know. Guess I'll never figure him out so I guess that's why he hasn't bored me yet.

H and O broke up, sad cause they are such a perfect match. Maybe they'll hook up again - it has happened before!


Back to cleaning, grocery shopping and writing.

Take care

Movingday today...

So today I'm moving into the new place. Got the old one sold and cleaning out the Nyköping-place.
Finished painting the kitchen - dad will probably have comments about it and the sleeping area in the room...
Have to decide wheather I should go for blue or light yellow ih the hall... Well I'll think about that later.

God, I have been so efficient lately: finished my final paper, painted the apartment and worked full time. Am quite capable when I need to be...

Had some wine and a light dinner with Gonzo (and Hedvig for a short while) last night at Vinoteket. Really nice, good food, like their wineconcept and the staff is really nice too. Gonzo seems to be doing fine. We talked about all the stuff that has been going on lately.
She'll come by the office soon and we'll be ladies who lunch ;)

Joachim and Hannah will be helping me out today with moving and cleaning. I've promised them dinner and wine in exchange for help. So as soon as I'm settled in I'll have them and sis over for dinner with Bollinger '96.

What ever happende to the summer??? To dayit's like +10 and pissing down raining. Can't believe this. They say that if spring is cold it will be a great summer but hey, it's June and when is summer supposed to strart?!?!?

Well have to get in the shower and get ready.

So have a nice day in the rain

Love
