Tired Tuesday.

Mood: I look like a vampire today, due to an awful night & no sleep :(

Done: Finished breakfast, that's it.. I'm a bit slow today..

Plans: Laundry room 7-9 AM, finish packing and hit the road to Stockholm

Looking at: My laptop's screen

Listening to: Chill out music, I don't remember the artist but check the link

Reading: Nothing yet but I'll dig into my psychology book soon!

Drinking: I've had a big glass of water and I might even need some tea

Eating: Just finished breakfast, I'll be having a tuna salad on the train later

Best: I'll be seeing my family today and love tomorrow!  ♥ 

Worst: My big exam on Saturday.. And my cough seems to be back! 

Weather: And so it became "winter" again.. Just when I'd adjusted to the heat

The Greatest Gift.

Picture: We heart it

Little Miss Efficient.

After a long and day consisting of both study time and meetings I'm finally all cuddled up in my sofa at home. I caught an awful headache after lunch that just didn't seem to go away, yet we kept going with the studying and luckily it feels as if important parts managed to get stuck in there somehow. 

Anyway, after a long power nap (one hours sleep?!) I'm feeling a lot better yet my head feels like a smashed potato so no more reading tonight. Instead I'll have to pack for my trip to Stockholm tomorrow and prepare a few other things. Also I'm hoping for a short Skype date with my love ♥ But first time for a hot cup of tea! :)

Adiemus by Karl Jenkins.

Tonight's most played song, I'll probably fall asleep to it too :) Such beautiful voices and instruments, perhaps I could learn it one day..

Sunshine on a Sunday.

I must first send all my congratulations to the Swedish team supporting Loreen in yesterday's Eurovision song contest in Baku. I can't tell you how proud I felt last night when all the points were awarded from different countries all over Europe and that so many people voted for our song Euphoria which helped Loreen to win! 

As you can imagine it was a huge success and I am so looking forward to next year's show where it will take place in Stockholm, Sweden - my home town! Hopefully the girls and I will be able to get tickets since we all really want to be there next year! Until then I will enjoy listening to Loreen's beautiful voice and the great song being played on the radio and probably every club this summer ;)

Anyway after a rather late night yesterday I've had a soft day studying in the sun during the afternoon. Amazing how warm it's been these last couple of days. Unfortunately it seems as if we are to expect colder temperatures the upcoming week. However, I cross my fingers and toes for good weather on Wednesday as it is my brother's big day - graduation day! Hopefully we'll have some sunshine then too! 

I've been working on a speech for his reception at home and I'm not finished yet but it keeps getting better and better! Enough said for today, I really need to get some sleep since tomorrow will be yet another long day. Sweet dreams!

Golden Detail.

Picture: Maple Leaf

I almost forgot to show you this beautiful piece of jewelry that I found earlier this morning on the Internet. For those of you who don't know, I've always been particularly fascinated by two objects that can be found in nature. 1) Snowflakes and 2) Maple Leaves. No wonder I fell completely in love with this golden brooch formed as a Canadian Maple Leaf when I found it.. 

It's the perfect brooch one can wear on a coat or on a blouse, a great detail so to speak. It may seem as a bit odd since brooches are normally associated with old ladies, perhaps I'm getting there? ;) No but I actually love it! It's a British shop/designer so the price is in pounds, I wonder what the shipping cost may be? Oh my, I want it so badly.. Well, if I do well this summer and work hard perhaps I can reward myself by the beginning of august! I'd wear it everyday, just like my snowflake reflex ;)

One week to go.

Rise & Shine! After last night's heavy rain and thunder it felt great to wake up and see a clear blue sky outdoors. I just finished breakfast, no power walk today both legs and back hurts pretty bad so I should probably take it easy during the weekend and let the body recover itself. 

I can't believe it's only one more week to go before the BIG exam.. Getting both nervous and stressed now! So today's plans are to study a lot with the exception of celebrating M since it's her birthday a while during midday. 

There are so many things that I need to prepare next week, clean/tidy up the apartment, pack summer clothes, get ready for my trip to Stockholm on Tuesday for my brother's graduation and somewhere in between study more. Feels like there's so many things to do and yet so little time, guess next week will be a busy and hectic one! :( 

Anyway I better jump into the shower, get ready for today and start with my reading.. For those of you who are free today, go out and enjoy yourselves on this beautiful day! 

Missing You.

Picture: Private - collage made by me

I miss you V, I long so much for next week when we'll see each other again. I'm counting the days, hours, minutes and seconds.. ♥

Tonight's most played song: Westlife - I Wanna Grow Old with You

Another day 
Without your smile 
Another day just passes by 
But now I know 
How much it means 
For you to stay 
Right here with me 

The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger 
But it hurt so bad I can't take it any longer 

I wanna grow old with you 
I wanna die lying in your arms 
I wanna grow old with you 
I wanna be looking in your eyes 
I wanna be there for you 
Sharing everything you do 
I wanna grow old with you

...

Fun Friday.

Good evening dear readers! Wow I'm all exhausted after a really fun Friday celebrating my two class mates D & M who had their Birthdays on this same week. We ate all different kinds of food, most people brought some kind of meat with fresh salads etc. I ate an awesome chicken salad, very basic but so good! Not to mention the non-alcoholic drink that I made out of kiwi, lime and apple cider! 

Still I decided to head home early since I've got a long weekend with lots of studying to do. M's birthday is tomorrow so I'll make a break around midday to celebrate her with the rest of the girls in the morning. The rest of the group headed towards town after the pre-party at M's place. Just when I headed home a huge thunder weather swept in over Örebro, pretty scary! Happy I headed home when the heavy rain began. Anyway, guess it's time for bed! Sweet dreams ♥

Macarons.

Picture: Style me Pretty

Finally! The famous French patisserie Ladurée have opened up their first store at Grev Turegatan 15 in Stockholm! They sell the most delicious macarons, sweets and tea. I'm hoping I'll have time to pay them a visit next week as I'll be heading up to Stockholm for my youngest brother's graduation. 

What if you found a beautiful ring like the ones above in a little wrapped gift? I know I'd be thrilled!! I love the pretty one in the middle. Elegant. Timeless. The pink macaron would be nice too ;) Time to head out! Later!

Fresh Air.

Good evening folks, hope you've all had a good day! I've certainly had a long one and now my head feels like a squashed potato. Hopefully I'll gain some new energy after tonight's power walk and dinner after that. It's been unbelievable hot here today?! Too hot I would say, I spent 40 min outdoors and not only did I gain a few new freckles on my arms but also a head ache. Like I wrote above hopefully some fresh air will do it! Time to get ready for the power walk! 

Pretty like a Princess.

Picture: We heart it

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge a true beauty & fashion icon. I love the long gown in the middle and the purple Issa dress on the last picture with the gorgeous maple leaf brooch that she wore during her visit in Canada. I'm certain that this woman will do great things for Britain, the Royal family & it's people!  

A list on a Thursday.

Mood: A bit tired, I have myself to blaim for I stayed up late last night
Done: Finished breakfast and have to finish up the dishes 
Plans: No power walk today, need to rest my knees, lecture & study
Looking at: The beautiful blue sky outdoors, finally! Summer is here!

Listening to: Colbie Caillat  - I Do

Reading: Nothing yet but I'll dig into my psychology book soon!

Drinking: I've had a big glass of water

Eating: Just finished breakfast, I'll be having mini hamburgers for lunch

Best: 9 days left until Summer break! :)

Worst: My big exam in one week.. And the fact that I miss V so much!

Weather: Warm winds, high temperatures and nothing but sunshine

Remember This!

Wonderful Wednesday.

Good day everybody! I've had the best morning where I managed to sleep a little bit longer and also head out for my daily power walk. If you ask me this is the best way to start a new day! Today's plan is to study, study, study all day. We've got nine more days until the big exam.. I can't wait to have it over and done! 

Still I'm looking forward to have a study break later this afternoon since I've planned to attended a gym class at 5 PM. Very effective work out and one really do exercise every single muscle in the entire body. Awesome! Time to prepare some lunch now before I head back to the book and notes. Later skaters!

C-vitamins.

Picture: We heart it

Did you know that if you eat half a grape fruit in the morning it covers all the C-vitamin intake for one day? I'll be eating a lot of grape fruit this summer, that's for sure ;)

Back on Track.

Monday afternoon is already here and I'm so happy to say that I'm back on track with my daily exercise. Now that my cold seems to have left the body I've decided to put up a new routine that will stretch out the upcoming two weeks with start last Friday. 

Summer is just around the corner and considering that I'll be spending 11 wonderful days in south east of France in a small town called Antibes with V and his parents the last week in August/early September I absolutely want to get really fit until then ;) I'm looking forward to a healthy summer with lots of long power walks and fresh food and less alcohol. 

I've started with two power walks every day now, one in the morning before breakfast and the second before dinner in the evening. I try to walk at minimum 45 min at a higher tempo and believe me it really does feel in the legs, but and stomach not to mention the back as well. Previously I've had some difficulties with my knees so I've discovered that these power walks is effective and it doesn't hurt me as the jogging does. 

More info and updates will surely be posted now and then. For starters I'm happy to say that when I stepped on to the scale in my bathroom this morning it showed -600 gram since I started Friday evening. If I continue like this I will have lost the few extra kilos that I've gained since I moved to Örebro. So I'm keeping up the good work! Who's with me? ;)

Today's Power Walk.

Picture: Private - Taken by me with my iPhone

Finally my cough has disappeared! I celebrated it by heading outdoors for a long power walk yesterday evening and twice today (!). I took this beautiful picture during the morning walk. No doubt summer is finally here with all its blossom and green trees everywhere. Two more weeks and I've finished this term! 

I've been hanging out with M today, studying so I'm all finished up in the head and body. Looking forward to a nice long sleep.. But don't worry, you'll be hearing more from me tomorrow! ;) Sweet dreams.

Finally Friday.

I've had the best morning so far with a long breakfast and before that I talked to my love in the phone. I just glimpsed out my window and it seems to be very windy today? Guess one must wear a warm sweater today, brr! Anyway I'm still happy over the fact that it's finally Friday! :) 

Have you made any fun plans for the weekend? I have nothing much planned besides study-time.. Luckily I have filled my fridge with both strawberries and salmon for which I will prepare for tonight's dinner. Delicious and a perfect treat when I've studied enough for the day ;) Anyway I have a meeting at Uni at 10 AM so I better get ready. I wish you all a great day!

Fantastic Females.

A random collection of pictures taken yesterday by me & E with our phones :) Thanks girls for a fantastic evening, I hope you all had lots of fun, I sure did! You're the greatest ♥ 

Rise & Shine.

Good morning dear readers! I hope you've all had a great start of this new weekend. I spent Friday evening with friends (people from my class) at my place and later at a local bar called Ritz here in Örebro. We had a fun evening with lots of good music and just hang out. Still I headed home a early due to my cough.

After a long night's sleep I'm awake and now that I've finished breakfast I'll take care of the apartment since it needs to get a little bit more tidy after yesterday's pre-party here ;) Other than that I'll be spending the day in my books, studying.The big exam is just two weeks away, crazy how fast time flies.. Anyway time to get up from the sofa! Hope you'll have a terrific Thursday!

My favourite pie.

Picture: Widescreenwallpapers

I went to the grocery store yesterday and saw that they had fresh rhubarbs and strawberries for a great price so my plan today is to make a delicious pie with the ingredients mentioned above. Might be a good idea since I'm also having the girls over later tonight and I know that it would be very much appreciated from their side ;) More pictures will show up later! Have a great day everybody!

A list on a Wednesday.

Mood: Still a bit moody since my cold & cough won't go away :(
Done: Just finished breakfast, made my bed & the dishes
Plans: Power walk in a few minutes, study & party with the girls!
Looking at: The sun who seems to be struggling to come out.. 
Listening to: A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover

Drinking: I've had a big cup of tea and a glass with C-vitamin
Eating: Today's lunch will consist of chicken fillet and salad
Best: 18 days left until Summer break! :)

Beauty Sleep.

Picture: We heart it

Sweet dreams

I'm Home.

Good evening dear readers, I hope you've had a good start of this new week? I'm home now (Örebro) after a rather fast two hour long journey (where I basically slept non-stop!) and a long afternoon with both lecture and meetings with other student activities that I participate in. I'm surprised my eye-lids have found a way to remain open for my entire body is exhausted. Not to mention the annoying cough that just don't seem to go away.. :(

Sorry for this very negative post and all the complaining but I'm also a bit down for I really do miss my love back home in Stockholm. Our good-bye was a bit too fast, still we've had five wonderful days together and it feels strange that we won't be seeing each other until the 30th of May (two long weeks!). Hopefully time will fly and we'll catch up as soon as we meet again. But I miss you V, I wish there were enough words to put it down on this piece of paper. I love you ♥

Last Weekend in Pictures.

E's Birthday Celebration with the family - Friday 11th of May

Preparations for the big party with V's family - Saturday 12th of May

The delicious sea food we had at V's cousin A's Birthday party!

I scored an A.

I just heard from my good friend L who told me that our teachers at Uni released the latest grades for the last course we attended up until the end of April. L & I wrote our essay together and therefore she wanted to call me and share the great news as we got an A (VG in the Swedish system) as our final grade on the course!!

I can't describe how happy & proud I am over us and the effort we put into this work! The best reward ever :) I'm so looking forward to celebrate it with V when he comes home tonight and with L and the rest of the girls later this week! I'm guessing there will be some party on Wednesday or Friday..! Yay!!

Blue & Coral.

Picture: Mogi

I still haven't gotten used to the fact that we're already in May?! Spring is in full bloom here in Stockholm and Summer is waiting patiently just around the corner. We've only got three more weeks at Uni before summer vacations, still I believe most students will be spending their free weeks working. I'll be back at Zara by the beginning of June. I've missed the girls at work so I am really looking forward to go back! 

Right now I'm dreaming of Summer evenings, a nice tan and to be able to wear bright colours such as the blue & coral collage seen above. This year I definitely have to add more colours to my wardrobe! A pair of heels in a bright coral colour are on my top-shop-list! 

Party all Weekend.

Good day Monday! How was your weekend? I hope you all had lots of fun! I've been busy celebrating my younger brother E who turned 22 last Friday and V's cousin A who turned 50 recently and who had a big party  last Saturday evening. In other words I've had lots of good food, delicious drinks and plenty of cake this weekend! Therefore V and I decided to head out for a long walk yesterday around Djurgården to at least try and burn off some calories ;) 

Last week I also wrote about me being sick for two days, well guess what? After this party weekend my cold caught up on me again and these last two days I've been coughing like never before. So annoying since V had to get up early this morning and head to work and the poor guy probably couldn't sleep at all because of me :( I'm so sorry love, hopefully we'll sleep better tonight ♥ 

So all I've done today is rest & sleep basically. My appetite is all gone but I guess that's normal when is feeling sick. I just talked to my mom over the phone and she gave me some good tips of what to do to get better soon. Hopefully I'll be feeling better by tomorrow since I'll be heading back to Örebro early in the morning. 

Anyway I did take lots of great pictures from this weekend so I planned to do a few collages later today. But first I'll make myself another cup of tea and get back to bed. Apparently two new episodes of my favourite TV-show Downton Abbey were shown on the Swedish television last Saturday so I've planned to watch them today. Have a great afternoon everbody!

Spirit & Sparkles.

Picture: Engla's Showroom

Rise & shine people! I trust you had a good night's sleep? I came home pretty late from the movie night L, M and I had at M's place last night. Besides, I had booked the laundry room at 7 AM so I had to get up early, a bit too early I would say. Hopefully I can rest a bit on the train this afternoon as I'll be heading towards Stockholm. 

I try to ignore the two tired eyes that I met in this morning view in my bathroom mirror for today is a very special day. As I mentioned in the previous post V & I celebrate three months together as a couple today! Time has literally run away and still it feels so natural and as if we've been together for ages!

Therefore today my soul & spirit is filled with sparkles and a joy deep within. I often say to him, "If only there were enough words and symbols to describe how much I truly love you.." My life has taken a new turn now that you walked back in. After all the things we've been through I could not be more certain about you and me. 

My love grows deeper and profound for each day that passes us by. I honestly believe that I've found my best friend and true soul mate in you. There are so many things I look forward to doing with you! My heart is all yours, for the first time I know it's in the right place right next to yours. I love you V ♥

Feels like Friday.

Mood: Running on my extra batteries, barely slept 6 hours
Done: Breakfast (done), finished dishes, shower up next!
Plans: Lunch with the girls, lecture in the afternoon
Looking at: The screen from the computer
Listening to: A Fine Frenzy - Almost Lover
Reading: Nothing at the moment
Drinking: A glass of C-vitamin water
Eating: Lunch later, salmon with a fresh salad 
Best: V & I celebrate 3 months together today 
Worst: That I'm still tired and that my back hurts
Weather: I should think that we are to expect more rain later?

So Sick.

When I woke up yesterday I knew I'd caught yet another cold after the adventure day during Monday. Apparently I wasn't the only one, my classmate K told me yesterday that she felt sick and that she feared that a cold would break out today or tomorrow. Last night was pretty rough since I had difficulties sleeping and had to get up at 5 AM to get a pain killer for my headache. 

So I'm stuck indoors today, still my body could not have chosen a better day to be sick on since it's been raining constantly all morning. Therefore my plans are just to sleep, rest and regain new strength during the day. I'm heading to Stockholm tomorrow to celebrate my younger brother who turns 22 years old on Friday also V and I are invited to another Birthday party to one of his relatives on Saturday evening. Hopefully I'll be feeling better tomorrow!

I think I'm going to make myself a cup of tea and then return to my comfy spot here in my sofa. Perhaps I'll have the energy to study a little during the afternoon if I rest for one or two more hours. Talk to you later!

Amor Vincit Omnia.

This is life and this is you and me forever

♥ 

Forever Friends.

Hey there rock stars! Sorry for the extremely bad updates this last week but I've had a tight schedule these last couple of days with lots of fun happenings here in Örebro. V came and visited me from Friday until Sunday ♥ We had so much fun during these three days hanging out together and with my friends from Uni. One of my best friends in Örebro L, turns 22 years old today although we were all out dancing and celebrating her last Saturday night! 

Yesterday was spent at a Boda Borg; a fun and challenging real-world entertainment activity consisting of mental and physical challenges. We were a group of 20 students who all signed up for this trip that my good friend and classmate K had organized through Facebook. The day was a huge success and we had so much fun! Although I must admit that I came home with one too many bruises last night and I believe that many people from the group felt exhausted today after attending the challenging games..! 

As I mentioned above today is L's birthday! :) My closest three friends and I decided to surprise L during the morning by bringing her breakfast and a birthday present at her door. We managed to surprise her completely as she opened the door with a cute newly awakened face! The best way to start a new day, to be surrounded with happy smiles. Happy birthday L once again and thank you girls for all the planning and actual happening this morning!

Örebro wouldn't feel like home without you ♥

Wicked Weekend.

Wow what a weekend..! Party at the Campus 48H Festival here in Örebro, both Friday and Saturday. No wonder one does feel exhausted today?! Totally worth it though ;) I've taken lots and lots of pictures so there will come up a few collages here next week so stay tuned! 

We've been free from classes this week and don't start our last course for this term until Thursday next week! Therefore next weeks plans are to hang out with friends work on this year's first tan as we are expecting summer temperatures on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday! Yay! 

It feels crazy that April has ended and that we have now enterred May.. It's all gone so fast yet I've had the time of my life so far! :) Thanks to the world's greatest friends and best boyfriend ♥ I honestly don't know what I would have done without them.. Thank you for all the love and support!
