These were two of my Birthday presents. And I love love love them. I’ve used Malice pretty much everyday since I’ve gotten it. I’ve mixed and matched it with some glitter polishes as well. I just can’t get enough of it! I’m strongly considering to get another one since I think I might’ve used it up by the end of December haha.
Yesterday I picked up a box from the post office. Technically these are part of my Birthday present as well. I used some of the money I got to purchase these babies. I can’t wait to begin! I bought the four first book of The Song of Ice and Fire which someone might know as Game of thrones from a new tv-show at HBO. I fell in love with the story when I saw the first episodes of the tv-show and began listening to the second {audio}book and figured I might as well get the first books. I found a great website that offered 138 DKK for those four books {it’s about 25 dollars} I also got Jane Austen’s seven novels her stories are some of my favorite I love the whole world she creates and the love she portrays in the stories and then, as you can see, I got Edgar Allan Poe… I don’t actually like poetry much but I do like his tales.
From left: I got a blinis-pan so I can make perfect shaped American pancakes, yay! My adorable sister made these two drawings for me, they are so cute. As you may see I’ve also gotten a Chanel nail-polish and it’s the one called “Graphite” I am already in love with it. “The complete tales and poems of Edgar Allan Poe” is now part of my book collection however, I did return this one and got a different edition. Audrey.. Oh Audrey.. the people who has been in my apartment knows how much I adore her haha! I got a tiny wallet thingy and a beautiful Calendar for 2012 with her on it. The see-through-able box you can see at the top is a makeup organizer {I’ll show you more about that another day.} I got myself some facial and body scrub from the brand Comwell Spa / Spa-losophy. Some cool cash! Who can’t use that!? Can you see the tinie tiny blue thingy next to the money? That’s a broche my sister made for me too, it’s so cute! I also got three great goodies which I really wanted, cover-sheets and pillow-covers, from H&M Home. I’ve also been so lucky to get a huge and very beautiful candle holder + candle from Georg Jensen {a danish brand}, just what I longed for.
I wished for pillows and I got pillows! I am a cuddly-snuggle type of person and I love having loads of pillows in my couch and in my bed. On another note I prefer not sleeping on a pillow, weird huh? I usually sleep on my arm or snuggled all up in my cover. Anyway I got four beautiful pillows and they can all be bought in Magasin.
As you saw above I got some money and I’ve spend some of that on these babies above. I’ve heard well about this concealer so I though it was about time to try it. So far I’m very happy with my purchase. The lipstick in the middle is “Viva Glam Gaga 2″ and I love it! It’s a nude color and looks very cute. The last one is a Mattene Lipstick from MAC’s newest collection called “Legendary” it has a very dark and warm red color. I can make a post about these two later if you would like to see them on?
I also decided to buy a few dvd’s. Tropic Thunder is a favorite. It’s such a silly action-comedy and it generally reminds me of a good time with two close friends. The Shawshank Redemption is a classic which I thought belonged in my collection. Blå mænd, which means blue men, is a danish comedy and blades of glory was on sale for absolutely nothing so I grabbed that too!
The rest of the money was spend on a lot of socks! I can’t believe how much money I actually spend on socks. SOCKS!? But it was needed. I got myself some really nice ones from H&M here amongst some knee high ones and I also bought a pair from Abercrombie & Fitch. I bought a black dress because a girl can’t have too many black dresses am I right? {I’m a little obsessed with black dresses I think I have 12 now…} The cute silver “bag” looking things you can see to the right are from H&M home and to the left there’s another see-through-able thing. Which is a “twin organizer” for cotton pads. Oh right I bought a hat as well! A dark purple one which I thought looked darn fine with the black dress.
My dear ex sent me some presents as well one of them neatly wrapped in home made paper because he allegedly didn’t have any… *shifty eyes* We spoke a couple of months ago about An Idiot Abroad and how I hadn’t seen the show. So when I opened the present I was actually quite surprised. He also got me a bear-hat which I will have to show you soon. I need some better pictures of it. He also did very well in the hat department because; three months ago I mentioned that I liked this hat and he managed to remember go him! It’s an adorable hat btw just wait and see!
I also ordered some books here amongst the other edition of Poe. I’m gonna pick them up Monday from the post office yippeeee! Some gifts I haven’t gotten a picture of is two other books, actually Poe again which I returned too since having two editions of one book is silly! I also got a cupcake book, a beautiful blanket and a third heart-cover-sheet from H&M from my best friend. I am so thankful for all these beautiful gifts! I feel so lucky to have such a kind and generous family and friends. My love and gratitude goes out to them ❤

My new glitter nail polish – Can you guess why I have two of each?
❤ 01. It’s been a busy couple of weeks with the Birthday planning and a lot to do in school. Now I’m off for a week however, I have to assignments to write. One which is really killing me because I loathe the subject… Luckily I’m meeting my study group today where we are going to debate “how to handle this assignment” and I must say I’m looking forward to their input!
❤ 02. Did I tell you guys that I got a job? I did. At the moment I’m working as a fundraiser! I didn’t know what to expect from it but the team are so kind and it is all for a good cause. So all in all I’m happy there. I must admit it is a little challenging to get used to “fundraising” but I like it. At the moment we try to fund raise for the people who are suffering with the horrible illness MS.
❤ 03. I’ve begun baking/making cupcakes! I really like making them and try to make them pretty with some awesome frosting and I am getting a lot better at it. I wish I had more time to bake but I don’t. Many might think its dangerous to bake a lot anyway since you might end up eating it all yourself haha. I don’t tho’ because I actually don’t like cakes and muffins all that much it’s too much sweet stuff for me. I’m a salty-kind-a-gal’ give me some popcorn with salt or chips and I’m good to go! What do you prefer sweets or salty things?
❤ 04. I’ve got a surprise for you guys by the way! A couple of weeks ago I was talking about getting some glitter nail polish and I decided to order the perfect one online from the states! And I ordered four. Two of each, which leaves me to say that I will host a give-away VERY soon! Probably after this week when I’ve written my assignments.
I bought this a couple of days ago as a reward for doing so well at my exam!
Oh I am already in love with this color
Yesterday I also got a new summer bag! Ain’t she a beauty? I really think the bag is amazing and it fits my new shirt, my jacket, and well it just suits with most spring/summer pieces! I love it!!!
I think I might have a thing for marine blue and white colors at the moment :P
It’s bought at a mall called ‘Magasin’ in Copenhagen
I had to go return some books at the library and since the library I use is right in the center of the city @ Strøget in Copenhagen, which is a shopping street, I went into H&M cause I saw they had a sale and it was reaaaaally cheap! I found about ten things I liked but I was a good girl and only got two. An over sized long blue/white striped shirt and a short blue cute jacket.
Jacket 50,- DKK and Shirt 70,- DKK
So last year I got off school at 2pm each Wednesday now it seems like I’ll get off at 11.50 am, well I did today but I’ll find out next week if it will continue like that. I really hope it will, how amazing isn’t it to get home that early? Then I can use this day for practical stuff like grocery shopping, appointments and such! Which reminds me I need to call my hairdresser and make an appointment I’m getting my fringe back, I miss it!
So today I had planned to go out for lunch alone and read the book we study in English class. But what life sure has taught me is that ‘PLANS CHANGE’ all the time and so they did today (: I went to lunch with my dad instead and whilst I was waiting for him to meet me I went into a music/movie store :3 Did I buy some DVD’s? Yes… I always end up buying some if I go into that store but hey these were on sale so it’s okay right? Then after lunch my dad bought me a hand-blender!!! Which made me really happy. I do however have a regular blender as well but a hand-blender is just so much more convenient sometimes and takes much less space. We went to a “Health and Herb store” that is close to where he lives and he was apparently a regular since they just instantly recognized him but what caught my eye or well my ear was the fact that they spoke Spanish! So I got to speak some Spanish today which is always interesting ^^ @ the store I bought some way too expensive olive-spread kinda thing? Looks delicious! I also got some bean pâté and some licorice & cinnamon tea.
