x-mas

As usual I'm going to my mums over the holidays to raise havoc. So happy christmas and all that, and see you in a few days!

Tattooish

I've been asked for pictures of my new tattoo, and I realised I haven't posted any pictures of it yet since I've been super busy the last couple of days (damn you christmas). However, it is not finished yet. I'm going back to finish it january 2nd. But here's a little sneak peak of how it looks at the moment. It's not the best of pictures, since I realised it's extremely hard to take a good picture of your own arm! But when it's finished I will have someone else take pictures of it so you can see the finished result. =)

Lime crime lipsticks

Since I was dead tired yesterday I didn't show you my Lime crime lipsticks, so will do a quicky now.

I really love these colours and the texture of the lipsticks. They are smooth and doesn't smudge that easily, so you can apply them just as they are or use a brush if you prefer.

They are really long lasting so you don't have to worry that you need to reapply after eating or drinking, which is one thing I haaate when lipsticks moves from your lips to the glass instead.

And of course they come in a gorgeuos purple case with holografic unicorn, how can you not love that?! ;D

I love the colour Chinchilla, which I've used everyday since I got it. I don't really know how to best describe the coulour, but it is grey with a violet undertone.

No she didn't is a really playful blue, I love this colour, can be easily matched with any colourful, or plain makeup.

 

Great pink planet. A lovely dreamy shade of pink. Just a must have. I love this shade of pink, and it goes with just about everything.  

Centrifuschia, a vibrant fuschia. I love this colour, and it's a complete match to my hair at the moment :D

Centrifuschia and me.

Sparkles!

Last friday I got my Lime Crime goodies that I ordered on their cyber monday sale, november 28th. My x-mas pressy to myself, since I've been such a good girl this year. Santa said I deserved some fabulous lip gloss and happy lipsticks. And I know better than to not trust santa!

To be honest this super cute box was almost enough to make me happy. The packaging alone makes it worth ordering from Lime Crime. :D


I bought 3 carousel glosses, 4 lipsticks and their eyeshadow primer. The one thing I regret is not getting the full set of the Carousel glosses (cheapskate), but I hope they will have enough so that I can get the other 2 colours after christmas. I just must have them! =)


It was really hard to decide which colours to get, since I didn't order the complete set. The only one I knew for sure that I wanted was the Candy Apple. A vibrant and deep ruby-red gloss with red glitter. I've been wanting something like this for years, but I have never found a product that was exactly what I wanted. I've  always had to mix red lipstick and various glosses to get it like I wanted, but now I don't have to anymore. Hooooray!
The other 2 colours I decided to go for was Loop-de-loop, a midnight sparkling blue. And Kaleidoscope, a deep plum purple with turquoise sparkle.

After having tried the glosses, I must say that I am absolutely in love with these products. They are waay above my expectations.
   Normally I'm not a big fan of lip gloss since they tend to feel sticky, but Carousel gloss doesn't. It is easy and smooth to apply, and have a faint scent of vanilla. And one coat is enough to get a full colour cover. Although if you use 2 or 3 coatings you do get a richer look.

Another thing that really surprised me about this gloss is how long lasting it is.
Last night I was out to a christmas dinner, and wearing candy apple. After the main course I went to the little girls room, and much to my surprise I didn't have to reapply my gloss. My lips were still looking as fabulous as when I left home!

So to sum it up. Carousel gloss is so worth every penny. So if you also want fabulous lips, just use this link. =)

MOAR FAB TO THE PEOPLE!

Lime Crime

Me in kaleidoscope, shitty camera, shitty lights. =)
Tomorrow we shall talk about my new lippies!!

Today I went to see the sketch of my tattoo, and it looks sooo awesome! She got all the details I asked for and more.  It's above my expectations. Only problem now is that it's a too long wait till next thursday. Can someone press fast forward please? :P

While I'm waiting impatiently for time to pass, I've been trying to find some christmas presents. And I don't know why, but I always end up finding things for myself instead of the ones I'm meant to be buying for. Check this out, a perfect gift. Battlestar Galactica t-shirts. =)

This one and other cool t-shirts can be found here nbcuniversalstore.com

Bullying! :@

Watching this video made me cry. A teen, Jonah Mowry, that has been bullied most of his life has made this video. It is such an incredibly brave thing to do. I just want to give him a BIG hug.

I'm so moved by this. It is so upsetting to know that this is the reality of so many kids. And I honestly think that it's up to each and everyone of us to do anything we can to stop this.  Specially everyone that is a parent. The bullies have parents too. Would you be aware if your child was a bully?

For those of you that live in Sweden you can read more about bullying, and find out some of what you can do to help here -> friends.se  I am quite sure there is similar organizations in other countries too, and I urge you to find out. A small step for man, and all that you know...


I really hope this video reaches as many people as possible, and makes them open their eyes, to see what a serious problem bullying is.

New nails

Yes, actually. Completely new since they are as fake as Michael Jackssons nose, and they will also fall off one day. Quite soon, I'm sure.

I think they look pretty cool. As you can see they are silver with leopard spots. Guaranteed to bring a little glamour into your everyday life.

Cherry coke

Deserves a title of it's own. It's just that awesome.

Life is sweet at the moment. So many things to look forward to. Something must be wrong, I guess my roof is gonna cave in soon or something. Just to give me a reality check. :P

One of the good things is that I got december 15th booked for my new tattoo. I'm sooo excited, just can't wait!

Tintin!

If you haven't already seen it, do it! It's probably the best film I've seen in a looong time.

Tomorrow I'm going to talk to the tattooist and hopefully book a time before christmas to get started on my next tattoo. I'm so excited about this, I've waited too long for this! =)

DNA-test

It's been clearly stated that if you want to watch quality TV, you should tune in late night/early mornings. Since I know this to be true, here is what I got to see tonight, and what made my night a little bit brighter.

Now, I'm taking my cup of chickensoup and going back to bed to see what else is on. =)

The sisters of mercy

Just got home from the sisters of mercy show, and my feet huuuuurts. New shoes + concert = bad idea.

So, the concert then... The sound was quite bad, but raw, just like sisters should be (raw, that is). Unfortunately the rest of the show was mostly made up of smoke, smoke and a mumbling Eldritch. Quite disappointing to be honest. They did some strange versions of a few songs, which was pretty much what made the show interesting. Best song of the night was amphetamine logic.

The show gets 2 cupcakes out of 5.

Insomnia with a vengeance

5 nights and counting. I think I've had a total of 6 hours of sleep this week. Sleeping pills are useless, nothing seems to help when it's bad like this. I took a total of 5 sleeping pills during last nights, without result. However, when I got home this afternoon I was so exhausted I had a little nap from 18ish and woke up now 23:45... Feeling as refreshed as ever... Great, now I can stay awake all night again... Oh insomnia, I hate you with a passion.
Erica vs insomnia 0 - 2

Gosh!

I can't wait to try Lime crimes new lip gloss when it's released on the 28th this month. I will have the most fabulous lips this christmas! :)

Check it out :)Lime crime

'Tis fun

And I have cool glasses.

Let's see if this works...

I'm trying out blogging from my phone. No idea if it will work as I hope it does.

But check out this awesome tomato I bought. What does it look like to you?

I call it buttomato. Umfortunately I had to chop it up an use it in my salad, but it was a very tasty buttomato :)

Oh and does anyone know how to add one of those little textboxes to the blog so one could easily get on touch with me? I've seen it on quite a few blogs, an "ask me box". Bad explaination perhaps, but I would really appreciate if someone can help me with this!

The pain, the pain!

Ok, so perhaps cupcakes wasn't the best idea, considering I already had a toothache. It only got worse last night, which left me with yet another sleepless night. The painkillers did nothing. So this morning I went to the dentist to have it taken out. Erica vs Bad tooth 1-0. Although, the tooth didn't go down without a fight. I had to have 5(!) anesthetic syringes before I could have it removed. My face is still partly numb, and my jaw hurts like a b*tch, and I'm out of painkillers... Hmm, when I think about it, perhaps it's actually the other way around. Erica vs Bad tooth 0-1?! That bastard!

But hey, at least I remembered to wear my discrete shoes. ;)

Good thing is, I have Dexter to cheer me up. I got this on lousy quality, filming him with my iphone this morning. Check it out, and turn up the volume. :P

First there was zombies, then came the cupcakes.

I felt like something sweet, so I made some yummy blueberry cupcakes. 

Tea anyone?

Unfortunately this weekend ended in a sad and shocking way. I spent the afternoon watching the world cup in show jumping from Verona. What started as an exciting competition ended in such a tremendous tragedy... 

R.I.P Hickstead

It's friday, friday..!

Yeah, the magical day of the week!

I've had a killer toothache that kept me up for most part of last night. But I know how to remedy it. I'm gonna do it the old fashioned way. Check this out. ------------------> 
Good ol' sailor vodka. That oughta do it, don't ya think? :)


Lack of sleep and early morning appointments is usually a bad combination. Well, early mornings and me is a bad combination in general, but sometimes even I have to bite the bullet. And this morning resulted in very heavy cursing in the morning traffic, and about 3-4 cyclists run over. In pure anger I might add, not lack of focus. I never lose focus. ;)
s
edit: I  ALMOST ran the cyclists down, I didn't actually do it. ;P

Anyway, strange thing happened when I was walking back to my car. A strange guy came up and started talking to me. He complimented my hair, and seemed quite fashinated with my boots! He asked if he could buy me a coffee. Being the anti-social moron that I am, I mumbled something about not having time, and he then asks me for my number so we could perhaps meet up at another time. Now, if I had been well rested and not caught completely off-guard I would've told him no straight up. But, mushy brain, socially awkward me tells him that I don't have a pen... Being totally uncomfortable, I strut my awesome boots into the nearest shop, pretending like that's where I'm heading, and the guy follows me and asks the saleswoman for a pen and piece of paper. Brilliant! Once again, and I would really like to point out the lack of brainfunction, I come up with the brilliant idea of giving him some random number. Yeah, just saying you're not interested didn't seem to be an option to choose from. Thank you, my brilliant Einstein mind.
So, the guy said he would call, smiled and walked away. So now I can't help but wonder if the number I gave him exists, and if the effects of this might cause some social awkwardness for some other random persons... :D

Have I learned a lesson?
-Why yes, next time I have to go out after a sleepless night, I will wear more discret shoes.

From one thing to another...


Tonight it's all hallow's eve in Sweden, not quite the same as the more famous halloween. Basically it's a memorial to the dead, when we light candles and decorate their graves. And for the past 12 years now, I've been visiting the graveyards memorial grove to light a candle for my dad, since he doesn't have a "real" grave with a tombstone.

  It's so pretty at night when you see all the lighted graves, and it's just a feeling of magic in the air. Since I was running errands this morning I went to the graveyard while out and about, so unfortunately I missed out on the magic. However, since it was daylight I could take a picture of the ornament I bought and show you, since I think it was cute. I placed it by the foot of a mossy tree, and it blended in quite well.

I also went to the pet cemetery to light a candle, was a good thing it was daytime. Had I gone this evening I would probably have stumbled on something and broke my neck. The path to it wasn't exactly paved...

But oh well, wall of text. Tomorrow I will show something awesome. But for now, adieu!

Boo

---->

'Nuff said.

Also, Jay-z sucks.

And something new...

Wonderful. Wonderful and beautiful. Thank you Anna.

Something old...

My hardrive is getting full to the breaking point, so I've been going through some old files trying to get some space. And I've realised I have so many pictures. So, so many pictures of random things. From closet doors to castles. A lot of pictures are of yours truly as well, and looking at them is like looking at a colour palette, all those different hair colours. I like it! This picture is from 3-4 years ago and really bad quality, but I do love that colour!

When your real pets aren't enough...

You can always get new virtual ones! For your sims! Finally the sims 3: pets was released. I've been waiting for this expansion ever since the sims 2! I loved the original sims unleashed expansion, and this new one is even better. The sims is just such a brilliant game. Make crazy people, build them crazy houses and make them do crazy things. Since my real life career, as ruler of the universe is going a bit slow at the moment, it's a good practice to rule over my sims untill I will rule mankind.


But yes, now my crazy sims finally got some company by crazy horses, crazy dogs and cats. My sim world is finally complete! :D
What I really like about the expansion is that you can make different breeds. And of course I have made my own pets, current and old ones come to life in the game. It's just so awesome!

Guess who this is supposed to be!

Peace and love and death to the world!

I'm going to redecorate my bedroom. I'm just not sure how I want it yet. What I do know is that I need shelves for all my makeup, and I would really want a vintage dressing table with a big mirror. I also need colour in my room. I've been looking around the web a bit to try and find a nice coloured wallpaper, but it seems to be quite impossible to find. Another problem when trying to find inspiration is that, in sweden people seem to be afraid to decorate with vibrant colours, and the most boring thing to me, is a room in white. White walls, white furniture, white curtains. Ok, ok, sometimes there is one wall in the room with a different colour, but still. SO EFFIN BORING!

Another thing that disgusts me, when it comes to decorating, is all these words people insist on putting on their walls. "Harmony, Love, Hope" etc. The only thing missing is a big peace sign, and you would feel like you're in a hippie community. Just a lot less colourful one. :P


So yeah, I can see how redecorating my bedroom is going to be a big and looong project. And if anyone knows of good place to get inspiration, please let me know!

Ghosts of christmas past...

Been thinking about my dad a lot lately. Probably because his birthday just passed. It's 12 years since he passed away, and I still think about him daily. I miss him so much. I guess there's never really no getting over the death of a parent. I just wish I could've had my dad left just a little bit longer, so I could tell him that I love him and how much he's meant to me, but most of all that I'm sorry. The last time I spoke to him was the day before christmas eve 1998. We had an argument and fell out. I never spoke to him again. 3 weeks later I got a call saying my dad had died... I was so stubborn and naive back then, and this is something I will never get over, and it isn't any easier to deal with, 12 years later.

But anyway, happy birthday dad. I wish I could've said it to you, and given you a present, instead of lighting a candle and hope that you sleep well.

About gods...

It's pretty clear who is the better god...

ouchies

I'm badly injured! I broke a nail when opening a pack of juice. I don't normally whine about breaking a nail, but this broke really deep and it hurts like hell, so thus it is justified.

I really hope I will heal in good time, since these arrived this week. ;)

Saturday

Mum's gone back home. Time to get back to normal routines... Like sleeping late. I don't get what's with old people and early mornings. Why do they have to get up with the sun? Or better question. Why do they have to make everyone else wake up early, just because they do? :P

Oh well. I'm gonna get some rest now. I feel it is well deserved. ;D

Afk

Mum's visiting, brb!

Going on...

Since I'm on a roll with the awesome music links, I'll post another one. This is one of my favourite songs by Psyclon Nine. Let your ears feast.

Tomorrow it's Saturday, and I'm invited to a very early Octoberfest. Have never been to one so it's gonna be quite interesting. I guess there will be loads of beer. Hoorrayyy, I don't like beer that much, but I guess I'll make a sacrifice for the greater good. :P

And Lu, if you read this. I'm sorry things didn't go as planned tonight. Honey badger 4-life. <3

Back in the days...

I was messing around youtube and looking at some old videos, having a little trip down memory lane. To say the least. :P

These two songs was actually pretty groundbreaking to me. They made me open my eyes, and realise that there was a whole undiscovered world of awesome music, that wasn't heavy metal. You see, as a young teen (prehistoric age), I was a punkrocker and a die hard heavy metal fan. Just your average girl next door, with a multi-coloured mohawk, chains and dr. Martens on her feet. 

But that is ancient history now. But fact is that Sisters of mercy, is one of my all time favourite band. And in just one months time, I'm going to see them live. Yaay, can't wait!

Ich warte immer noch...

I really can't think of anything to write about at the moment. What a strange feeling. My mind is.. Blank!

But, since I can't think of anything else to share, I will share some great music with you. This song is so good. It makes me want to dance, so let us!

Sunday

Sunday night and zombies on TV. Doesn't get much better than that. Or well it could, but hey, I'm not one to complain. ;)
I am legend and 28 days later is on, and I quite like them. So I'm gonna snuggle up in bed with my big cosy duvet and a big bowl of crisps. YES, I'm allowed to eat crisps in bed.

xoxo

Randomness 2

I was going to show you my awesome outfit I had on for "Culture night", but they're all blurry. So I'll show you my makeup instead. And of course I wear a tiara, I am the zombie queen after all. Which will be proven in the 2nd picture.

Sugarpill Dollipop
Sugarpill Tako
Sugarpill Bulletproof
And Sugarpill dewdrop lashes
;)

Now, this picture isn't from "culture night". In fact, it's taken this afternoon. And no, I'm not wearing any makeup because I couldn't be bothered with it today since I've been a first class zombie all day, due to lack of sleep. I took two sleeping pills the night before, but it didn't help, so no sleeping occured last night. Don't you just love insomnia? ;)

Just imagine the cauliflower being a brain. Every zombies favourite snack.

Randomness

I've been meaning to post some pictures from last saturday, but I've completely forgotten, so I'll do it now. Last saturday it was "Kulturnatten", Culture night, translated. It's a night full of random events around town, mostly crappy, boring ones. But there's a few funny ones too, such as fire shows and jousting knights. It was a cool event. Unfortunately I forgot I broung my camera, and only remembered as I was about to go home. But I got these two pics of my beautiful town that I kinda like, so I'll show them.

I'm not done with the randomness just yet though. Another thing I've forgotten is to mention that I got my new bags now, and I love them. I'm really happy that I decided to go for these instead of the KK one.

I ordered them from Restyle, which is based in Poland. I'm so in love with their things. And I certainly will order from them again. You can find their website here Restyle.pl

I also bought these supercute gloves, a ring and some other things I might show later on. =)
