My aunts husband does every year arrange a halloween party where all families in our small neighbourhood is invited. It is usually filled with interesting foods, snacks, music and a haunted tractor ride in the forest! Even though I'm the only one my age (as the others are either 5 years younger or 20 years older than me) I still enjoy dressing up and have a fun time!

This Sunday morning I spent with a big part of my family to basically set fire to our Christmas trees tog et rid of them and in the end have a real BBQ! It was a nice spring day.. or so we thought until we came down to the water and the wind was nearly blowing us away. It was really like experiencing all of the four seasons in two hours. First you were two hot and then in the next second you nearly froze to death. But as the the family we are, we made the best out of the situation. Even though I was worried that we would burn down the forest several times before the day was over we all managed to get away from there without doing to much damage.



I think it's really nice to have days like this, when you just get out in the forest and even though everything don't go as planned you still have a great time. It gives you some time to relax from the everyday life and enjoy the nature and the company of your family!

So this Tuesday was my 18th birthday. I don't really know how to feel about that. For a while I've had a bit of a crisis about me not having my life together (like my driving license, bank stuff and washing my clothes?!?). I do however realize now that not so much have changed. Yes I do have to fix my driving lessons and learn to wash my clothes, but I did actually go to the bank to day (by myself!!) to get my new bank card. Adult points to me!

I and my 80 year old friends celebrated this very exciting day by going to a cute little café in the old town. The interior was absolutely adorable and reminded me lots about really old Swedish houses. We spent around two hours there chatting away about everything. I had a really nice time but I had to leave to have dinner with my parent around half six which also was very lovely. It was all in all a very nice 18th birthday!

As it is the last day of the year, I tend to try and look back at the year which has gone and see what has been good and what has been less good. 2016, as we all know, have not been looked upon as a positive year in the bigger picture. But if I look just at myself, 2016 has been full of learning experiences for me. I have learned a lot about myself this year but also about people and the world around me. I have started to do more of the things I love, but also try to look at the things I don't love doing from another perspective. Everything you do can't be something you enjoy doing but you can always learn from these things, and I enjoy learning.

In 2017 I'm gonna try to focus on doing the things I love and not stress over things I can't do anything about. This does not mean that I'm not going to care but that I'm not going to let it get to me. I'm also gonna lay more time and thought in to doing the things I love and make it the best I can do.




These pictures are from the past week this Christmas break where I spend the majority of my time in the stable, where I love to be. It has given me a happy and calming, but still challenging last week of the year.

Happy New Year from me, and I'll see you in 2017.

Last weekend me and some of my friends had a little pancake party. We met up at one of our friends, who have her own apartment, and went from there and bought all our ingredients for the pancakes.

Home again we started to make the pancake batter and prepare the toppings with we've decided were bananas, Nutella and cream (which we had to whip by hand fyi). Non of us where pros in pancake flipping so we forced Melina to do it, even thought the pancakes looked more of a mountain than anything else when we were sone I thought she did a good job anyway and they tasted amazing.

After we had stuffed ourself full of pancakes we basically just laid on Emma's (the one with the apartment) sofa and talked about everything between heaven and earth. I think we talked about all the word problems big as small. And yes as you can imagine we were up until ridiculously late, I think the time were around 4AM when we finally decided to go to sleep. We, or at least I, had a really good time and wouldn't mind doing it again.

And just like that, another new year. 2015 has been eventful with its ups and downs but I welcome 2016 with open arms.

This Christmas me and my family went to my grandparents house, as we always do, to celebrate Christmas together with one part of my mom's side of the family. We got there around 1PM and begun the night by drinking some mulled wine, or soda for the kids who are not that fond of the mulled wine.

This weekend my family and I had some christmas baking planed. We were at our house where we ate and chatted up on things that hade happened since we last saw each other.

This Sunday me and my friend, Melina, decided to do our french homework with basically was to bake something and film it while talking about it in french. I was supposed to bake blueberry muffins, but because my memory is as long as a goldfish's I forgot the blueberry's at home so I ended up just baking vanilla muffins. Melina baked chess square cookies. We both do not enjoy the baking process but we still had a really good time.

Last night we celebrated my grandmas 70's birthday. We did so by having a really nice dinner at the cruise Bateaux Dubai. The food was delicious and so was the atmosphere. I ordered an Arabic Mezze for starter, Poached Smoked Egg with Porcini Mushroom for the main course and for dessert a Mango-Yoghurt Cheese Cake. Everybody did also get a Cauliflower Soup before the starter which also was delicious.

When I were at Dubai Mall i perched a few things. I didn't buy so many things, main reason is that everything is very expensive here. With this in mind I only went in to shops that we don't have at home.


At Bath & Body Works I bought three christmas/winter scented candles because why not.


The Twisted Peppermint smells exactly as you can imagine. It smells strongly of peppermint with a little hint of vanilla.



Fresh Sparkling Snow smells a bit fruity and very fresh.


To be honest, I have never smelt cranberry or thought of the smell but according to me this candle smells like fruit and warmth.

As you may notice I'm more in to fresh and light scented candles then the ones who smells kind of 'heavy'.





This lipstick is a pinky nude wich I have looked for for a very long time now but never found one that fits me. Even thought I bought this in a hurry, and basically just picked it up and bought it, I really like it. It doesn't give lots of colour but it's still noticeable.
