The end of an era.

2011-07-14T16:22:00.002+02:00

It's time for me to leave all of you readers, I'm handing in my resignation today. I feel that I've come to a point in my blog where I just stand still and I don't have time to put more into it. It's been 17 fun month and I'm glad that so many have been with me throughout all good and bad times. So a big thanks to all of you out there. Now I'm heading forward, towards what I don't know, but something good I know. Good night and good bye...

Love
Emelie Marta Sjölin

Good morning sunshine!

2011-07-06T09:07:00.002+02:00

Lilla Lady with Daniel Adams-Ray, is right now streaming out of my speakers at high volume, as I sit here with my blog and a delicious breakfast. Soon I'm heading towards Helsingborg with my girls, for a day of relaxation. I'm also meeting up with my dearest Sofia up there, for w quick lunch. Tonight Emma and I are going out, it's going to be a very good day and night I believe. =)

Tuesday afterwork:

2011-07-05T22:07:00.002+02:00

At 7.30 pm, sharp, I ran down the stairs of H&M; going home after a long day. My girls stood outside, waiting for me for a afterwork at Lilla torg. We walked towards the square and sat down at Victor's, where we all got something cold to drink. An hour or two went by, and after lots of talking and laughing we were all tired and headed home again. It's things like this that make up for all the normal stress during a hard week =)

A lunch of perfection:

2011-07-05T22:01:00.002+02:00

Today I had the best lunch hour in the history I believe, with sushi and watermelon and a bright sun. I went down to the supermarket and purchased some fresh food and took a quick spin around the squere outside H&M. Then I took the elevator up on the 6th floor, where I sat down for an hour with my delicious sushi and then a very jummy piece of watermelon. The sun shined brightly and I could still hear the music from the squere down there. After an hour on the roof I was all rested again and ready for my stressful afternoon.

Morning glory:

2011-07-05T10:45:00.002+02:00

I feel great after yesterday's run, My ears are filled with Bon Iver and I'm enjoying a delicious breakfast infront of my computer. Soon it's work time, what are you doing today? =)

A late night run:

2011-07-05T00:10:00.002+02:00

Cecilia and I have just come back home again, after a 12,64 km run in the rain. I came home late today aftre work and ate a late dinner, so I thought that my running plans were dead today. But then Cecilia came home from work and I really felt like puting my running shoes on and get out there; and so we did. The plan was first to take a short run, to stop at around 6 km, but then our legs just kept running by themselves and we hit more than the dubble! =) It was a really nice run, and Cecilia got a new record in long dinstance running, congrats sis ;) Now we just have to dubble the distance and we're on for the 13th of August. To be honest I actually don't know if I will make it in time, it feels like I've been really bad at working out now the last month and I'm not really in the best shape. It's less than 6 weeks until Malmö half marathon so we'll see! Stay tuned.... Now, it's bed time and tomorrow I'm sleeping in, I'm not starting work until 12 a clock =)

Rain, strawberries and Elizabethtown:

2011-07-03T16:09:00.003+02:00

This perfect Sunday just continues to be even better. Right now were watching Elizabethtown while the sky outside is dark and the rain is smattering against the window. The sky just opened as we were getting out of the car, so we just made it home in time.

Because I'm free:

2011-07-03T16:05:00.002+02:00

This Sunday I was off work, which wass well needed after yesterdays festivities. So Line, Cecilia and myself took the car daown to the beach, but ended up at Vespa down at Bo01, where we had a delicious lunch together. Perfect Sunday =)

Cards, Rosé and KB:

2011-07-03T15:48:00.006+02:00

What a night! I had the best time yesterday, together with Cecilia, Rasmus and Line. After a night of wine and card games we ended up in town, dancing dancing dancing. The rain had stoped falling so when the morning light arrived we were on our bikes again with two kebabs in a plastic bag, on our way back home again after a fantastic night.

2011-07-03T15:22:00.005+02:00

On Friday we were all invited over to Anton, where we had a really good party. We danced until the break of dawn and biked home in the early morning. It was a great party with good friends =)

Café 2000:

2011-07-03T15:14:00.002+02:00

On Friday Cecilia and Fanny met up with me for a quick lunch at Café 2000 in town. Both me and Fanny were working so it was especially nice for us to get a break from all the stress. The salad tasted like heaven and I enjoyed some good old quality time with two special angels.

Thursday night:

2011-06-30T22:14:00.002+02:00

I just came home from Emma's, aftre a nice evening of talking and lots of coffe =) Right now I'm watching some O.C together with my mom with tea and toast. That's what I call a real Thursday night, before all the festivities this weekend. Tomorrow we're going to Anton, who's having a party and on Saturday Cecilia, Line and I have a girls night out. It's going to be a very fun weekend I believe.

Quality time:

2011-06-30T22:10:00.002+02:00

This evening I spend together with Emma, coffe and some good old gossip magazines. What could be better after an exhausting day of moving, than good quality time with my dearest Emma. She's going out of town now for some days so we had to meet before that =)

Moving day:

2011-06-30T22:06:00.002+02:00

I can easily state that I have never been so tired in my whole life, like I was today after I helped Line and Rasmus move. But we had fun about all the hard work we put into it and we got a delicious moving pizza and afterwards we drove down to the beach and through ourselves in the water. Their appartment is really nice, and in the same area as me.

Bowler:

2011-06-30T00:12:00.002+02:00

Tonight I actually had some time to just sit down with my computer and edit my many pictures I've taken the last week. I have been really stressed, going here and there so now I'm posting all posts at once. When I had finished and were ready for a movie, Cecilia called and asked me to meet her down in the park where Kevin and his friends wer playing bowler, and so I did. Nice to finish up an already perfect free Wednesday with nice friends and some bowler.

First day on the beach:

2011-06-30T00:04:00.004+02:00

Today I was off work so together with Fanny and Malin I headed towards Höllviken for a day at the beach. Down there we met up with Tobbe, Anton, Erik and Alice and we spend some plaesant hours in the sand and got ourselves burned =) After beach hours Fanny and I went into town to check out some vintage stores and H&M of course. So nice to be off work sometimes =)

Picture bomb from Denmark:

2011-06-29T23:37:00.009+02:00

On Saturday night I was invited for a big party on the country side of Denmark, somewhere outside Århus. 70 persons, beer and wine in lots, delicious food, bowler, hot dog stand, cricket, dancing, jukebox, many nice people to talk to, motorbikes, camping and much more was what the party of Rasmus had to offer. I had such a good time and enjoyed every second of it =) Good good night!

Saturday's preparations:

2011-06-29T23:27:00.004+02:00

On Saturday around noon I arrived to the trainstation in Århus, Denmark, and a happy Line picked me up in a real country Jeep. Wr drove for about an hour until we reached the real country side of Denmark, the landscpae was amazing! The whole day went to prepare for the big event later that day; rasmus 30th birthday party. I got to ride along with line in the side waggon of her bike when we were to get beach decorations, soo much fun! =) At four we were all ready for the party to start and one hour later the guests arrived, dressed up and with gifts.

A midsummer dream:

2011-06-29T23:06:00.006+02:00

My midsummer night I spend together with friends with delicious food and lots of dancing until dawn. My midsummer started out down at the beach together with Cecilia and CO for some beer and rounders. Later I headed for Limhamn where I was invited to dinner with Emma and the gang where we also played different kinds of games. My night ended at Fanny's where I got greeted by a fantastic midsummer party and not even after two minutes I was standing on the chair, singing and bottomed the glas. We danced until the sun rised and Cecilia and I dragged our tired feet home again after 4 am. I got one hour of sleep and then I had to leave to take the train towards Denmark, where next party awaited. But it was so worth it in the end.

5 hors ago....

2011-06-26T20:04:00.002+02:00

5 hours ago I was on the ferry, heading back home towards Malmö again after a weekend on the country side of Jutland. I've had a fantastic weekend and pictures are comming up later. Right now I'm newly showered and enjoying my mom's best bolognese and some O.C. Stay tuned!

H&M loves Versace:

2011-06-23T21:23:00.003+02:00

Or is it Versace loves H&M? Anyhow, I love both and I'm thrilled to see what the two world known brands can create together. Two days ago, it was made offical that H&M's new designer collaboration is together with Versace, how cool is that!? =)

New in:

2011-06-23T21:12:00.002+02:00

"You always remember your first", and I got mine today =) I know that I'm about 10 years behind on the whole Converse era, but today I purchased my first pair, happy happy happy. And so was Dennis who got to enjoy the new box in my room.

Final weigh-in, week 14:

2011-06-19T16:12:00.002+02:00

So have the last weigh-in come, together with a good resault as well, -2,2 kg. I'm very pleased with these 14 weeks that I've been trying to change my life style for the better, regarding my health with food and workout. In total I've lost 14, 8 kg in 14 weeks, pretty good I think! Especially since I've never used some kind of diet, only healthy normal food and a lot of workouts. Of course I'm going to continue with my new life style and continue to run and eat well. I thought it could be fun to do an update in a month or so, to see where I am there and then, what do you think about that? Now i'ts less than 2 months until Cecilia and I are running Malmö half-marathon and we'ce started to run together now, which is super fun. Exiting! =)

Yesterday's outfit:

2011-06-19T13:20:00.000+02:00

Late run:

2011-06-16T23:26:00.003+02:00

Cecilia and I got struck by an impulse running urge earlier this evening, so at 9.30 pm we went out in the rain with running shoes and our ears filled with Håkan Hellström and Pitbull. The run today was short and slow, byt very refreshing indead and we have already set the alarm on 6.15 am tomorrow morning for the next run. The run didn't go very well for me today, since I had eaten a pizza about an hour before I went out. haha, I don't really know what I was thinking there, but better a pizza and a run with stitch than just a pizza. =) Now it's bed time and tomorrow we're out there again! Good night

10,02 km:

2011-06-15T20:52:00.003+02:00

This evening I've spent at home, alone together with Harry Potter and meatballs. I'm newly showered after my run earlier tonight on 10,02 km. It was a really nice run nad there were lots of people down at the beach, running or walking or just enjoying an ice-cream in the sun. I'm pretty happy with mt run, but I forgot to time it though.

Back to school:

2011-06-15T17:44:00.003+02:00

Today's outfit was this; top, blazer & shorts-H&M, glasses-Lindex, lace top-vintage, bag-Marc Jacobs, shoes-Din Sko, socks-Hansa Companiet.

Sunday dinner:

2011-06-13T23:13:00.002+02:00

Saturday night was amazing!! And I felt like I deserved yesterday, but I had time for a quick birthday song for my mom in the morning and then back to bed again for some more hours of sleep. Sometimes around one pm I dragged myself out of bed and we went to by some flowers and food for the evenings dinner. Cecilia and I cooked a jummy jummy dinner with three courses and a coctail, super nice Sunday. The night we finished off with Runaway Bride with Julia Roberts and Richard Gere.

Third time around:

2011-06-13T22:57:00.005+02:00

Not only was it the birthday of my mom and my aunt, it was also time for Linne'as yearly birthday party in the city. So after all the festivities out at the garden party I went in by car to the city to get to next birthday party where my friends awaited. The tent was raised, the music on the drinks cold. I got a glas of red when I arrived and then bubbles, oh I love bubbles! We sang, laughed and enjoy the night to the fully and then we continued on Étage, where we danced until the light of dawn arrived. Perfect night =)

Birthday festivities:

2011-06-13T22:53:00.002+02:00

Both my mom and my aunt had their birthday's together, during a garden BBQ party outside Malmö. We enjoyed the sun in the garden whilst the steaks were getting ready and then we sat down for some delicious food and drinks.

Graduation:

2011-06-11T12:59:00.005+02:00

Yesterday afternoon Cecilia and I opened up the champagne on the balcony to start the party early and then we were off for Douglas's graduation. After a cheerful run out for the graduates they left on a huge truck which took them around town with lots of music and dance. The evening aftre that was really nice and we got lots of good food and drinks. Sometime after midanight we left for an afterparty where all our friends had gathered in a big garden in Limhamn. The night continued with more wine and much dancing and laughing. It was really the perfect graduation day/evening/night. =) So much fun!

Weigh-in week 13:

2011-06-11T12:29:00.002+02:00

I'm pretty happy about the resault for last week; -1,7 kg =) Only one week left, exiting!

Right now:

2011-06-09T23:00:00.002+02:00

Friends is on, candles are lit, Cecilia is packing and the dinner is heating in the oven. We're taking the night bus down to Malmö around 3.30 so we're having a late packing/dinner session right now and later we're going to watch Sex and the city 2, cozy cozy cozy....

Marina:

2011-06-09T20:42:00.002+02:00

Today I got the chance to sleep in, since Cecilia had a lecture until noon so I lay in bed until half past eleven. After a short preparation I was out of the door with my hat on that saved my bad hair day and on my way to the library to meet up with my sister. On the way I found these pair of shoes, I hope someone don't miss them today ;) We took a quick spin around town and then down to the marina, where we got lunch at Aqua. A really cozy place on the dock just by the water and delicious food. After our stomaches was filled we went back to town to try on some dresses for tomorrow's festivities. On our way back home we accidently fell into a candy shop and got home with a large can of lots of candy. Life's pretty great ;)

Shrimp night:

2011-06-09T11:51:00.004+02:00

Yesterday Cecilia had invited the girls over for dinner, and on the table stood shrimps in lots, two different sauces, red onion, salad and baguettes. We enjoyed a nice evening as we sat down to peel our shripms and after dinner there were games and brownies. I think it was nice for the girls to get a paus from all the exam hysteria. As the girls left, Cecilia and I slipped into something more comfy and watched a movie and ate some more chocolate cake.

Personal record:

2011-06-08T16:10:00.002+02:00

Make your own personal record for 15 kr! =) Cecilia and I have been working with her appartment all day and now we're done. We've installed the new sofa and been around town looking for an old vinyl record for her picture wall. We thought it could be cool to place a black record on the wall, between the pictures but we couldn't find any good classics so we made our own, personal record. Cecilia wanted a picture of Malin, Fanny and I, so we printed a pictured and glued it on the record, super cool!! =)

Jönköping day one:

2011-06-08T11:00:00.005+02:00

The start of my visit in Jönköping couldn't have been better, we had a lovely day yesterday and an even better evening. Dad and I arived to town around half past nine and as he drove to the office I started to enjoy the day together with Cecilia. We ate a super deliciuos breakfast/lunch with baguettes and shripms and then we walked downtown. I think we went through every interior design store in the whole city and we also stoped by Anna K, to smell their hundreds of different candles. They are candles in glas cans that burns for 90 hours and they there are everything from vanilla/strawberries to wild ocean. After a while hour heads started to ache so we went out for some fresh air and continued the walk down the picturesque area of Jönköping. A hotdog and a paus down the canal and we were ready turn back home again. After some grocery shopping we had everything we could ever want for these three days and the evening yesterday was filled with goodies and food =) Perfect first day!

Right now:

2011-06-07T09:06:00.003+02:00

Today's office consists of me, going by car to Jönköping with my coffee in my left and The Gucci was in my right. From the radio I hear changes with Ozzy himself, perfect Tuesday morning. Soon another perfect girl is awaiting and three wonderful days with her. SisterLove.

Hot days....

2011-06-07T08:44:00.002+02:00

Hot days and melting ice cream, could it be any better than that? Yesterday mom and I went into town, partly to fix a housewarming gift for Cecilia but also to enjoy a day off work in the sun. I have a whole week off work now and on Monday my 10 week long summer temp. is starting. I'm really looking forward to a summer at H&M, I love it there!

Late summer evenings:

2011-06-07T08:17:00.002+02:00

Summer is here and I couldn't be happier! The thing I love the most is actually summer evenings and nights, and what could be better than when late summer nights turns into early summer mornings. Watch the sun rise after a party night with dancing and mojitos, with your feet in the lukewarm sand. Sunday evening I spend at home together with my mom, watching the final of Big Brother. I love late summer evenings, when the sun is about to set and the air is cool.

Birthday girl:

2011-06-05T20:11:00.006+02:00

Yesterday we all went to Halmstad to celebrate my cousin Lina, on her 35th birthday. We got cake and coffe and on the table was, what could've been the worlds most excuisite princess cake, in shape of a real Barbie princess. I know what I want when I turn 25 =) The celebration carried on and people continued to show up and I had a wonderful time together with my family. It's not very often I meet my family from Halmstad, so every time I do I enjoy it a little bit extra. The evening was ideal and to finish up the barbecue was lit and hotdogs were served for everyone.

Office:

2011-06-04T13:27:00.002+02:00

Now I'm on my way to Halmstad. I have my party skirt on and my ears are filled with Robyn - dancing on my own. We're going to a garden party to celebrate my cousin Lina who turns 35 today. It's going to be a good good night filled with a lot of family that I see way too seldom.

Today's outfit:

14,06 km

2011-06-02T14:44:00.002+02:00

Hello tomato face! =) I've just been out on a 14 km run, which was really nice and it went better than expected actually. Since I have not been out for almost two weeks now, I didn't think I would last more than 8 km or so, but my legs just continued by themselves.

I've got a tip from a blog (Sofia runs at ELLE) and that is to keep a small running diary, so here's my first try:

Distance: 14,06 km
Time: 1h, 24 min
Song: Mr Saxobeat
Peak: A thumbs up from an old man on a walker =)

Weig-in week 12:

2011-06-02T12:48:00.004+02:00

Here is the very boring weight-loss protocol from last week; +- 0 kg. But I actually know why the number is like it is, I have the red flow right now and then I always put on some. So I actually think I would have lost some htis last week, but I guess it will show next week instead! =)

Ok, two weeks left, exiting! I really would like to be - 15 kg on these 14 weeks, but that would mean that I have to loose 4,1 kg on these two last weeks. Is that possible? I'm going to try anyway =)

Now it's soon running time, woop woop - wish me luck! I have not been out running for two weeks almost.... Stay tuned...

Food journal:

2011-06-02T12:27:00.002+02:00

There are some of my blog readers that have asked what I eat now, during my 14 weeks weight-loss project. I'm trying to get a lot of fruit and vegetables and I'm keeping away from unnecessary carbs like pasta, bread and rice. I have one day per week when I get to enjoy some treats. But just to show you an example I kept a food journal yesterday and here's the resault!

Breakfast:
Smoothie with banana, strawberries, mango and blueberries.

Lunch:
Omelet with crayfish, mushrooms, asparagus, tomatoes, parmesan, shallots and chives.

Dinner:
Salomon with parmesan asparagus, avocado with crayfish.

72 days, 17 hours.....

2011-06-01T21:09:00.003+02:00

72 days, 17 hors, 51 minutes and 46 seconds until I stand at the start line for Malmö halfmarathon on the 13th of August. I'm so freaking exited!! So you all have to come and cheer for me at the finishing line (or on the way somewhere, to keep me motivated). This is my first real running race and It's going to be fun to see the resault after months of preparation, I wonder what place I'm going to finish at. I actually don't think I'm going to be in the first half, I really just want to be able to finish. Right now I'm really tired of my cold, but I think I'm taking my running shoes out for a tour tomorrow. It's been a long time since they felt the sweat now =)

My summer 2011:

2011-06-01T16:02:00.006+02:00

Summer is almost here and I have no plans, except working all summer. Last summer I had a great time with all my friends and my family and we did all kind of fun things. As I mentioned I'm working most of the summer, but I have some days off and those I'm going to spend with my loved ones and enjoy every second of them. But for now, you get a "small" picture bomb from last summer.

Last summer I...

Went down to Falsterbo for many days with swimming, ice-cream and beach ball.

Had several mojito nights at Lilla torg.

Spent many days at the beach.

Danced at Koi together with Sofia and her friends from Hbg.

Had Jensen dates with Emma.

Visited Sofia and her friends in Hbg for late night balcony evenings.

Went to a wedding in Simmrishamn.

Enjoyed late nights at Lilla torg with friends.

Spend many, many hours at the balcony with wine and ciggarettes.

Mingeled at Båten with Alex and Emma.

Kitchen tabel:

2011-06-01T13:17:00.002+02:00

I've been looking at kitchen tables and chais, in case I get an appartment soon =) haha, the chance is very small but it can't hurt to be prepared! I love the idea, which is used in Friends, when you use four different colours at the chairs. I've been thinking of a glas table with four different chairs, sizewise and colourwise. I found these chairs on ILVA and the table on IKEA, what do you think?

Dinner for one:

2011-06-01T12:53:00.002+02:00

Yesterday I made a really easy and delicious dinner for myself. Mince steak wraped in prosciutto, with some grilled mushrooms, pepper and onions. A sallad and onion keso on the side and the dish was ready, 15 minutes and super tasty! =)

Hot and cold:

2011-05-31T15:26:00.002+02:00

Yetsterday when I had finished work I met up with Fanny for a quick spin around some of Malmö's stores. The heat really struck me when I got outside and suddenly summer was here. We decided to go for a smoothie at Redfellas, and we both picked I want it all, delicious with a big D =) Then of course we had to go stop by Made by no one, where Fanny tried on a pair of cool high waist shorts.

Fair game:

2011-05-30T22:32:00.003+02:00

Today I watched a great movie! Fair game, was a movie based on real occurrences about the CIA agent Valerie Plame (Naomi Watts) who got her secret identity disclosed. She discovers her identity is allegedly leaked by the government as payback for an op-ed article her husband (the one and only mr Sean Penn) wrote criticizing the Bush administration. If you have not seen the movie yet, go rent it tomorrow, a really good movie.

Today I've been working and afterwards Fanny met up with me in town for a quick spin around town. The evening I've spent with my dad and a nice dinner in the garden and then the movie Fair game.

I got my schedule today, for this summer at H&M Gustav, and it looked great! I got a lot of work and I can't wait until the sallery comes =)

Good night!

Mothers day:

2011-05-29T19:14:00.003+02:00

Today was a special day, because it was mothers day =) And we celebrated out at grandma's place with BBQ and wine.

Dinner alla Holgersson and Green:

2011-05-29T18:45:00.006+02:00

My day at work yesterday was really full off shit and I was exhausted when I sat on the bus bakc home again. The positive thing though was that I was invited home to miss Holgersson's place in Helsingborg, where she and my dearest Sofia had prepared a nice dinner for me and 5 other girls. In total, the 8 of us enjoyed a very delicious dinner with wine, coctails, beer and shots and we got to sing from the very nice and home made song book. The evening finished off with a game of charades and then a taxi took us downtown to Helsing, where the party continued. I also ran into Malin on the street, cute and happy as alwasy =) When Helsing closed around 2 we ordered some night food as the rain fell down hard and we walked back home to Sofia's place with the mood still on top.

Green Mango:

2011-05-28T01:38:00.002+02:00

Today after work I met up with the gang, who were waiting at Green Mango at Möllan. They had ordered thai and I got an ice cold beer, perfect after a day at work. After some hours of talking with nice company we went back to Alex and Chrille's place and played some games and finished off with a coffee. A really nice evening which ends with the replay of Big Brother under my divet =) Good night!

Friday's lunch date:

2011-05-28T01:34:00.002+02:00

Today, before I went to work, I met up with my dearest Emma for a lunch date at Jensens. We enjoyed thier delicious steak with vegetables and their favorite sauce. Afterwards we had time for a quick quick quick spin around town and then I had to hurry to Mobilia, where today's shift was.

Burn:

2011-05-27T11:44:00.002+02:00

So, now I've been burning some fat, around 650 calories to be exact. I powerwalked for 1,5 hours and the distance was 9,61 km, pretty good since my legs were kind of beaten from yesterday.

After ten:

2011-05-27T11:16:00.003+02:00

I love efter tio and TV4 godmorgon, which airs every day between 06-12. Right now Malou Von Sivers has some interesting guests in her champagne breakfast corner; Ernst Billgren, Peter Siepen, Titti Schultz and Kim Anderzon.

Weigh-in week 11:

2011-05-27T10:04:00.002+02:00

I almost forgot to wrigh in this morning! But anyhow, - 0,9 kg this last week. I'm slowly moving down the scale so I'm happy, a minus is a minus right? =) Now I only have 3 weeks left, this 14 weeks program has gone by so fast. These three last weeks it's all in I tell you, no unhealthy days at all!

Good morning Friday!

2011-05-27T09:48:00.002+02:00

Outside my window the sky is grey, grey, grey... But in my frying pan I have to shining suns, in shape of two eggs for my breakfast. 2 eggs, 10 crayfishes, chives and salt&pepper. My legs are pretty soar from yesterday and my cold is not gone yet, but I think I will go for a small powerwalk later and then lunch in town together with Emma.

The other woman:

2011-05-26T23:49:00.002+02:00

I got back to town around nine this evening, after some work hours at H&M Burlövs center. Instead of going home I went to Line's place in town and we rented a movie, The other woman, and rested my soar legs under a blanket. Line had prepared some watermelon, what a great snack for a movie night! It doesn't have to be unhealthy just to be delicious, go watermelon! Now I'm exhausted, good night =)

In my bag:

2011-05-26T23:47:00.002+02:00

I picked up a small treat today in town; this new blush from Makeup store - Frozen Daiquiri. I love it and it's just what I've been looking for! A rouge that is combined with a highlighter, perfection. =)

Stairway to heaven:

2011-05-26T23:42:00.002+02:00

Today I met up with Line at Möllevångstorget and Line looked at some really gourgeous flowers. I think I have to buy more flowers, it can really brighten up your day! Then we biked further downtown and got some lunch take away and sat down at the stairs to the water, I took a salad and Line some sushi. Both full and happy, we walked down to H&M and makeup store, where I got myself a small treat. Then it was time for me to go to work and I left Line and took the bus out to Burlövs center.

I've got the power:

2011-05-26T11:56:00.002+02:00

It's really just that simple, I've got the power over my own body. Nobody else can help you get the body you want. Nobody else can stop you when your hand is going towards the candy jar. Nobody else can drag you out in the rain on a 10 km running race. It's only you. So today I took the power and went out for a powerwalk. I've been struggeling with my damn cold but I thought it would be better to go for a powerwalk than nothing at all. I was out for 1,5 hour and powerwalked 9,5 km. I'm pleased =) Now I'm off for a lunch in town with Line and then it's work time at Burlövs center.

Mi manca:

2011-05-25T23:33:00.004+02:00

Take me back to Rome... In June it will be four years since Sofia and I left Rome, after 6 wonderful months filled with many memories and many firsts. In Rome I first tried blue clams. In Rome I first tried red wine. In Rome I spoke the Italian language for the first time. In Rome I met Emilio and Louise for the first time. In Rome I saw the pope for the first time. When I moved to Rome was also the first time I moved away from home, on a cold January the 1st 2007. The time I spend in Rome is still the best 6 month in my life and I really want to go back one day. I wonder how I would experience it now, after 4 years? Would it be the same, just as amazing as last time? I wonder... but most of all I'm dreaming... Good night =)

One year ago I was....

2011-05-25T18:54:00.003+02:00

One year ago I was having a really nice day together with my sweet sister in Herning. She arrived on the 24th and on the 25th we took our bikes and went out and experienced the nice environments around my campus. It was always the best times when she came to visit, but also the worst times when she had to leave again. We enjoyed every second of it and I will always teasure those memories as long as live. Love you sis.

You've got nothing on me:

2011-05-25T18:33:00.002+02:00

I had a rather slow day as well, thought I were going to work, but it turned out to be tomorrow. I went into town for a quick spin to pick up my lovely H&M dress for 100 SEK and then back again. I had such an inspiration today for my painting, but I had no canvases at home and I had no energy to go back in to town... So, I decided to sort out my blog folder, easier said than done it turned out to be.... Well, now; 3,5 half hour later, I'm done and very pleased with my blog folder. I had 3657 blog pictures in one same folder and now I've divided them up in 14 sub categories. That is what I've been doing all afternoon, that and watching Harry Potter in the background. What have you been doing? ;)

One of my coworkers from Beyond Retro in Stockholm has just sold one of her pictures to Urban Outfitters in the US. I love her pictures and love to watch them at ELLE.se, where she also has her blog. So go in and take a look! http://anna.elle.se/

Miss Dior Chérie:

2011-05-25T13:51:00.002+02:00

Not only is this perfume perfection, now miss perfection herself is the new face of Miss Dior Chérie. Natalie Portman is not just a magnificent actress, but also what could be the world's most beautiful woman and she fits perfectly into the Chérie look. I love all the Miss Dior Chérie covers and advertisment for the perfume, the pictures are all very beautiful and amazing. My favorite is the one with the balloons (picture 2 in this post). I could do anything right now to be floating over Paris's roof tops underneath 30 big pastel baloons.

It's mine:

2011-05-25T13:32:00.002+02:00

I love my new dress!!! I got it from H&M fr 100 SEK, isn't that amazing!? They sold it with a 80 percent discount, am I lucky or what =) This powder beige cup-cake I'm going to safe for the 18th, when my dad and his wife are renewing their vows.

Tuesday & The Town:

2011-05-24T20:11:00.002+02:00

Today I'm out at my dad's house and we have just enjoyed a delicious dinner and now it's movie time. The Town is on tonight, second time I watch that movie and I really like it =)

H&M super SALE:

2011-05-24T16:48:00.002+02:00

Fanny just called, with great news! =) H&M has a big super sale on many of their dresses, and cup-cakes like this one they sell for only 100 SEK. That is really amazing, and since I've been looking at this dress for months, I almost have to buy it tomorrow. I get my first sallary from H&M tomorrow, so I'm super exited and think that I can buy this one thing for myself, I mean 100 KR! =)

Today's painting:

2011-05-24T13:57:00.001+02:00

It's been two slow days off work this week, so I've decided to paint a little for my exhibition in September. Yesterday I made one painting, and today I made one more, in the shape of the Black Swan from the move with Natalie Portman.

I want to paint the world:

2011-05-23T13:47:00.002+02:00

Today I didn't get any work so I decided to paint instead, for my exhibition in September. I have a theme of dancing and movement so today I made another dancing picture. I think my nect picture will be a ballerina portrait.

Sunday evening:

2011-05-23T13:41:00.002+02:00

Oh my, my Sunday was slow slow slow... I was so tired after the very intense weekend in Båstad. But it was worth it, what a weekend! =) So my Sunday was filled with TV, pictures editing, chips and dip and a really bad weather. I was biking to the store around five and the sky just opened, I was soaked when I arrived home again after only three minutes out in the rain. But this made my Sunday night even more cozy and when the rain had stoped, the sky was what could have been the most beautiful sky I've even seen. It was hot pink and clear blue, with dark purple clouds in between.

Picture bomb from Båstad:

2011-05-23T13:02:00.009+02:00

I must say, that this weekend was even better than I'd expected, we had so much fun! On Friday I was off work, so I chilled at home; packing and prepared with good party music. Fanny came sometime around three to pick me up and we headed towards Helsingborg, where we were to pick up Malin and Malte. Two hours later, the four of us, arrived to Båstad and Alex's summer house. The boys were already there and soon the barbeque was lit and hamburgers and steaks awaited. The night was filled with picture taking, wine and beer, laughing, friends and we also finished off with a night swim in the very cold sea. On Saturday morning we rested in the sun, the weather was perfect, and later we took the cars and went into the city of Båstad. Some shopping and a lunch later us girls was on our way to Ängelholm to pick up Cecilia who arrived with bus from Jönköping. Now the car was filled with girls and we headed back towards the summer house and the boys. Cecilia was greated with a beer bong and the party had started. BBQ and drinks, dancing and limbo and one more night swim made this night even more wild and the mood was on top with table dancing and card games. Sunday morning was alittle slow, but a nice brakfast with coffee and sandwiches made us ready to clea up the house. What a perfect weekend!

Båstad spring 2011:

2011-05-22T21:26:00.007+02:00

I've just arrived home today, after a fantastic weekend in Båstad together with friends and fun. Later I'm going to drop a picture bomb here on the blog and on facebook, so stay tuned. Now you have to credit with some pictures of this weekend's participants. All and all we were 15 persons in the summer house by the beach. That just couldn't go wrong! =)

Sneak peak from Båstad:

2011-05-22T16:16:00.002+02:00

Good friends, beer & rosé and Håkan Hellström, that is what makes a good party!

Båstad outfits:

2011-05-20T11:26:00.002+02:00

Right now I'm packing but I couldn't help myself when I wanted to try out the different outfits. Here are some of them =) It's going to be a chill weekend I believe with a lot of partying so I'm going with some relaxed outfits. But I think I will have to pack down a secret fancy card, you never know!

Perfect match:

2011-05-20T10:29:00.001+02:00

I love these two spring colours by IsaDora; SOUTH BEACH and PINK LEMONADE. The colour match is perfection, but good separately as well. Today I think I'm going with south beach (the orange one).

Weigh-in week 10:

2011-05-20T10:25:00.002+02:00

10/10 - just like Paolo Nutinis fantastic song is my weight loss a fantastic milestone for me in my weight project. This week I lost 0,8 kg, which make the total weight loss exactly 10 kg! I'm happy happy happy and today we're leaving for Båstad, where we're going to spend the whole weekend. It's going to be a good good weekend =)

An evening walk in the park:

2011-05-19T21:53:00.002+02:00

When the sun was about to set I met up Emma for a walk and we headed towards Slottsparken. It was a wonderful evening and the air was still warm from earlier today when the sun shined brightly. We were out for almost two hours, walking and talking and looked at the small baby ducks in the pond. A really nice quality time evening together with my dearest Emma.

Library date:

2011-05-19T16:50:00.002+02:00

Today I had a small date with my best Line at the library. August Strindberg & Röda rummet, coffee, Line and millions of old boos took up my day. Afterwards we went back to my place for some tea at the very cosy balcony and sat there in the sun for a while. Tonight I have a date with my sweet Emma, cosy day!

Vintage Gossip:

2011-05-18T16:11:00.003+02:00

Now I'm sitting in my bed with clean sheets and a book that mom borrowed from the library; Vintage. The book is a colourful, interesting story about the fashion history during the last century. While I'm drowning in this fabulous vintage book, Gossip girl is runing on my computer. Vintage, Gossip girl, pistachios and Pepsi max - I love a day off =)

Rainbow:

2011-05-18T13:05:00.001+02:00

On this rainy, grey day I needed some colours so I went with the colours of the rainbow. Pride! =)

Wednesday:

2011-05-18T12:58:00.000+02:00

Today I'm off work so I went downtown to fix some thing for this weekend, when we're going to Båstad to celebrate Fanny and Alex. It's going to be an amazing weekend, can't wait!

Morning has broken:

2011-05-18T09:27:00.003+02:00

My cat Dennis decided to wake me up around 5.30 this morning, he really didn't want to sleep anymore and therefor I wasn't aloud either. The sun was to rise so I lay in my bed, feeling pretty great on this early Wednesday morning. I have no work planned today so I thought I'd get some things done today in town. But first my morning coffee and some Solomon Burke, love that dude!

Now:

2011-05-17T22:13:00.002+02:00

I've been sorting out my room all night and did a thourough cleaning, now two and a half hour later; I'm done. I love my newly cleaned room and my new ELLE which arrived yesterday, so now it's ELLE time and also, a new colour shall be painted on my nails. But which one? Stay tuned.... haha Nighti nighti boys!

Today's song: Don't give up on me (Solomon Burke)

Today's:

2011-05-17T20:33:00.000+02:00

Foxy Brown:

2011-05-17T09:06:00.002+02:00

Now I'm dark again =) After a small hair accident when I were to bleach my outgrowth two days ago I had to go darker to safe my hair and wallet. This is the resault; Foxy Brown from H&M. What do you think?

Today's colour(S):

2011-05-17T08:30:00.002+02:00

The sky is more grey than grey outside my window this Tuesday morning so I thought I could brighteen up the day with some colourful nails.

Today's outfit:

2011-05-16T09:11:00.000+02:00

Since I had my small hair accident yesterday I'm going all in with a blue scarf today =)

Help, I need somebody, help:

2011-05-16T09:07:00.001+02:00

haha, I had a small hair accident yesterday... My very blonde hair was a little yellow so I thought I could sit with silver shampoo for a while, but I sat too long. My not so yellow hair anymore, is now kind of white/purple. hahaha, you can't see it on the picture, but it's PURLEish!! Well, shit happens and today I have to go and get some colour so I can save my not so charming hair. BUT first I have to work all day in this wigg =)

Lemonade pink:

2011-05-15T20:07:00.001+02:00

I couldn't get the colour right for this picture, but the nail polish is actually really pink. Love it! It's lemonade pink from IsaDora.

Today's outfit:

2011-05-15T11:19:00.000+02:00

Now I'm off for work, H&M Gustav, see you there! =)

Saturday at home:

2011-05-14T21:51:00.005+02:00

Now I'm going to show you something really horrible; my very very very dark outgrowth haha. Since for ever I've always been a natural blonde and my hair has always been really bright but now suddenly my hair is dark! Only two years ago my hair was still kind of white, and look at it now! =) Isn't it wierd how your hair can change so much? Anyhow, today I'm spending my Saturday at home and did some renovation, fixed my outgrowth and put on a facial mask and then a glas of Rosé, as it was pouring down outside my the window. I ate the best starter today, a home made salmon stew on toasted bread, and then red curry thai chicken for my main course. Rosé, my mom, the cats and The count of Monte Christo; that's my Saturday =) Now it's time for Eurovision! It's not raining outside anymore and the sky looks like it's on fire, like the candles we just lit inside.
