I was a bit taken aback with all the raving positive reviews on this Aurelia botanical cream deodorant, that I wasn’t sure what to believe. Then my favorite skincare gurus started talking about it, and I knew I had to at least give Aurelia a chance. I then put it on my wishlist for Christmas, and was lucky enough to get it!
The last couple of year’s I’ve only invited my very nearest family to my place for some cake(s) and other goodies. I sometimes wish I had a bigger apartment so I could invite some friends and more of my family at the same time too. Because as it is right now I just don’t have room for that many people. Perhaps in a few years time I’ll get a bigger place 😀 This time around (last year in October) I decided to have a low-key day. I spent it at my internship and afterwards I met my dad, bonusmom, sister and my boyfriend Matt at Hard Rock Cafe in Copenhagen.
I was in England over Christmas and New Year 2017/2018. On one of the days, during my stay with Matt’s family, we all went to the Trafford center just outside Manchester. The Trafford Center is a huge shopping mall, in case you didn’t know, and they have a Selfridges there – which has a Charlotte Tilbury counter! I went to the counter and a lovely salesgirl approached me. I told her I was on the look for a new foundation, a new brow product and the lip liner ‘Pillow talk’. I tried out the other items and then I tried the lip liner I wanted. They didn’t have the foundation in stock, so I decided just to buy my brow product and the lip liner. However, when I came home and opened my new lip liner it turned out to be the Charlotte Tilbury lip liner in Pink Venus! I was actually rather upset at first because I really wanted the pillowtalk one… Then I decided to just give Pink Venus a shot, and I’m glad I did. Because it is a very lovely shade, and I’ve grown rather fond of it.
I tried out some of Charlotte Tilbury’s products two weeks ago and wanted to share a few words. The photo below is unedited, as I want to show you exactly what the makeup looks like. I’m wearing the Light Wonder foundation from Charlotte Tilbury, in the lightest shade possible, as I’m rather fair skinned. I really like the natural light weight coverage the foundation provides, and although one of my blemishes is still visible – I’m a fan. It does exactly what it promises, and what I want from a light weight foundation. If I use a concealer, I would be able to conceal the blemish, but for the purpose of testing this foundation I didn’t. I’m also wearing a lip liner and an eyebrow product from her brand. On my eyes are Huda beauty and Lancôme.
Hello! I can’t believe January is over already (cliché I know, but it’s gone so fast). I’ve been busy with all sorts this month, and I’m also slightly behind with my internship report… 😅 Oooh I’ve got some exciting news though! I got a new student’s assistant job. My old boss at TimeLog (the place I interned) called me two-three weeks ago, and asked if I was interested in coming back. I was honestly surprised and so happy to hear from him. Because, I really loved my time there as an intern, and I enjoyed the responsibility and projects I was given. I also loved the colleagues, and generally the entire environment. I’m very excited to return! I’ve resigned my part-time job at the library, where I will have my last day at the end of February. It’s definitely strange to know that I won’t be working there anymore as I’ve worked there for 5 and half years. It’s the end of an era, but also the start of a new and exciting beginning! Anyway, lets move on to the photos to see what I’ve been up to this month:

The title sort of explains what this post is about, and I think you either love or hate these kind of posts. Personally, I love reading them (and watching them on YouTube) as I find them cozy and somehow inspiring! However, I get that this isn’t everyone’s cup of tea and that some might find these posts boastful. I don’t write these posts with that aim or intend, I just want to share what I’ve gotten for Christmas and express my gratitude. Because, I am very thankful!
