Solitude

Once again I have some time to myself since my boyfriend went back north for the weekend. For me that means Ben & Jerry’s Chocolate Macadamia while watching the Swedish Idol show, at least that’s my plans for tonight. Tomorrow I will get back to the lovely world of vampires and teenage love, yes I will see the third movie in the Twilight Saga – The Eclipse.

Makeover Makeup

About a month ago I was seriously bored and having nothing to cheer me up with I ended up buying a magazine. Not just any magazine, the absolutely worst choice one could ever make with its shortcuts to mind-blowing sex and ten ways to tell if he’s really into you. Yes – it was Cosmopolitan. Despite my boredom the magazine was still crap but I got myself a pretty good deal on some makeup brushes and a mascara from a new Swedish brand called The Studio. Originally it is one of those makeover companies which now also has a makeup brand. I have heard nothing about it but besides getting five more Cosmo’s it was really cheap and definitely worth trying.

Visiting My Guilty Conscience

Going back to school is taking more out of me than I had expected and this has left me with little time and lot’s of guilt for not blogging. It’s not really fair to only blame school, there is the delivery of my iPhone as well. If you don’t already have one, hurry up and get one as soon as possible, I don’t know how I managed to live without it for so long.

The Importance of Basics

Since I’ve stopped shopping for some time I’m experiencing some abstinence which sometimes mean buying way to much food at the grocery store, watching others shop on TV and sometimes I go through all the web-shops I know. Today I’ve been watching Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style in which he has a list of ten basics every woman should have in her closet, they are;
1. Basic Black Dress
2. Trench Coat
3. Dress Pants
4. Classic Shirt
5. Jeans
6. Any Occasion Top
7. Skirt
8. Day Dress
9. Jacket
10. Sweatsuit Alternative
So far I’ve got jeans, a basic skirt, a day dress, a jacket and some sweatsuit’s. Seriously, these are basics, I really should have all of them and I’m currently missing half.

Grass Widow

My boyfriend is out of town for a few days and I’m planning on spoiling myself. Living together these short trips of his are luxury for me. So for tonight I have a waxing planned, I will fix my feet and hands with pedicure and manicure. Finally I will give my hair some extra care with “Biolage Vital Repair Color Care Treatment” and my face some tan from a can-color. And best of all, the grand finale, I get the whole bed to myself, plenty of space, no snoring and no blanket-steals.

Getting it Right

Last Sunday a new season of Desperate Housewives started and as always I visited their webpage in order to test which housewife I am. Usually I end up being Susan, sometimes I’ve gotten Lynette but this time I ended up as Gabrielle. The answer I always hope to get but never do achieve is Bree. She is the absolute opposite of me being the perfect housewife, an incredible cook and emotionally stable, nothing like me. But as with everything you want what you can’t get.

Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Review

A few months back I bought Dermalogicas exfoliant which is so mild that it can be used on a daily basis. I can’t say I really want to use it every day, both because I don’t really need to and also I think my skin gets a bit dry from it, especially now when fall is coming and the air is getting dryer. But that doesn’t mean I don’t like it, using it every third day is just about enough for my skin, it keeps my pores nice and clean and break-outs to a minimum.
