These last few days...

These last few days have been uplifting, I always get so bored when I have nothing to do during the summer holiday.. 

Last weekend I went out both Friday and Saturday; Friday to a house-warming party for a friend, and Saturday, a last-night-out with Emilie before she moved back to Andenes! I'm going to miss her. 


The day before yesterday some friends and I were at a new fancy café with gorgeous furniture and a luxurious look. I ordered green tea and macaroon, delicious!



Yesterday I didn't do much... but I made something! I made a "klippekrans", a sweet kind of kringle with sugar and cinnamon :) I'm not the baking type, but I really got this one right! It was tasty as well, so happy ^^



After that we went to Bergens biggest shopping center, Lagunen, where did some shopping and ate at McDonalds. Everything was great :) I bought a pair of high waist shorts in dark denim, and a SUPER cute dress from Kappahl, from the childrens department XD All good-good. Had a nice evening too.

Today I had some friends over to help me clean out my closet, and tomorrow I'm applying for a job at a costume store! Aaaaand meeting a good friend from Trondheim, can't wait to see him again :D 

Wow I hope this entry wasn't too boring, haha. I'll try to post some outfit shots with my new shorts! They are gorgeous! :D

Skin care review!

So I finally sat my ass down and started to write about the skin care products a got a month ago!
I ordered three products; over-night moisturiser, black head peeling strips and a facial scrub. I tried to make it kind of like an experiment, because my skin was really bad a month ago. I normally don't use skin care products, so I was wondering if some of this could clear things up.

Just to clarify from the start; My camera isn't good enough to show the difference in my skin, so no skin photos! I'll try to explain as well as I can:)
Okay, here we go!


1. Skin79 Sweet Honey Sugar Scrub (100ml)
I was really scared this would smell of honey from 50m away, but the scent is very nice and subtle :)
I use this about two-three times a week, I try not to use it too often as it can damage the skin. It's pretty easy to work with, and washes off very easily! My skin was cleared of dead skin, and it was very soft. It's not that different from other brands of scrubs, but all in all a nice product :)



2. Lioele Blackheadzero Nose Patch (5 sheets)
I love these! First time I used this I was a bit afraid that it wouldn't get any blackheads (I got quite a few), and after when I looked in the mirror I didn't see that big of a change.. But then I look down on the used strip. God damn it took a lot of those motherfuckers! XD So after a few peelings you will see (and feel!) a nice change. So I'm really happy with this product. The only thing I can complain about, is that some times there will be some of the sticky stuff left on your skin, but that rinses easily off with water:) Now, it's not something I would use every week, but once in a while just to tidy things up. In fact, I have one on right now XD Recommended!


3. Lioele Waterdrop Sleeping Pack (60ml)
Now this one I'm a bit indecisive about.. It's a very light moisutriser you put on after you cleaned your face when you go to bed. When you put it on, it feels as if your face is wet from plain water. Very refreshing, apart from the other more heavy moisturisers. It has a nice smell, too. I may have been slacking with this one, since I earlier never used skin care products I often forget it :P Not the result I've been expecting, espeically from reading other reviews. But maybe that's just me. I usually use it during the day (while wearing no foundation ofc) just to keep my skin from drying out. But when I use it overnight, I sometimes have this glow when I get out of bed, and my skin tone is more balanced! (except for now when my nose is sunburnt x)) So sometimes it works, sometimes it's just.. meh :P



I think all in all, these products haven't really changed the way my skin looks, but it does feel better! Especially my nose is like a babys bottom now :)

Woah, I hope that this wall of text was somewhat informative to those who where wondering!



Have a nice Wednesday night! :)

FUCK YEAH JUNE

I GOT AN A IN JAPANESE!


Waaaah I'm so happy!! Hard work paid off, looking forward to the next two years to get better and better!
Now only the culture/history exam grade is left, I hope I get at least a C! Main thing is that I at least won't fail. Thank god XD 

AND

I found a new place to live! 
Susanne, Emilie and me are moving in together in august. We saw the apartment yesterday, the guy who lives there now (he was kinda hot lol) showed us around, it even has a back yard! It's a bit small and expensive, but it's in the middle of campus right in the heart of the city! Super practical (and now I can wear heels when I'm out on the town ;D)
So yeah, can't wait to move all my shit closer to the city center :)


June has already started to become the best month so far this year, I really hope it'll stay that way! 
The only thing I have left now is to find a job!

New dress :)

So today I made a dress.

A dress, in one day! 

I'm pretty proud. Not because it was hard to make, but because I actually managed to concentrate about it through the whole day and not just throw it in the ever-growing pile of unfinished projects! *victory pose* 

 Sexeh front

Sexeh back, now with extra sunburn.. Plx ignore my horrid tanlines XD

So yeah.

I'm trying to figure out a way to get cash fast so I could get my ass to Oslo for Desucon.. any ideas? I have to get around.. 2000kr. Sell stuff? Make and sell stuff? Whine to daddy? :P
I hope can afford the trip! I really need to get out of here, I haven't been out of town since Christmas. Anyway, if I do go, I won't cosplay. Because, I just don't have enough time nor money! Maybe next year, or another con :)


I'm soooo nervous about getting my Japanese grades! We're scheduled to get the language grade tomorrow, and the culture grade on june12th. I'm so tense because of this stress XD
But at least I don't have horrid spelling mistakes, like we have in our Genki book.. 


Seriously? Someone read through this with a bit of haste.. ;)

夏休み!Summertime!

Thought I'd post some outfits and whatnot!

April:
Very stressful month for me, with final exam preparations and cramming...! But there was also room for relaxing.
 Studying!
 The outfit I wore for the JFashion presentation, where I talked about gyaru. It was pretty successful! Made people laugh when I showed the connection between yamanbas and the folklore ghost they got their name from. Fun fun! 

Outfit:
Top: DreamV
Hotpants: H&M
Skirt chain: DreamV
Boots: Galstar
When I was walking home, I stopped at a traffic light. I noticed when one of the lights turned green none of the cars were moving.. So I looked at the car in front, and there was three men STARING and me like dogs and not realizing they were suppeused to drive, haha.. They drove really slowly past me, not one of them paying attention to where they actually were going >_>
It was funny, but also a bit uncomfortable, I felt so.. violated o.O

ANYPOO.

May:
Final exam hell!
...okay it wasn't hell, it went pretty well! :D 
The Japanese language exam went supersmooth, maaaybe I'll get an A? I think I'll honestly get a bit disappointed if I get a B.
The Japanese culture- and history exam went okay, I should have read more. But I think I'll get a C on that one. If I get a B I'll be superhappy, and if I get a D I'll be furious XD So yeah, C it is.
And what's after finals...? SUMMER HOLIDAY! 
Yaaaayyyy!

 Random outfit. I actually wore bloomers that day! Haven't worn them since before I quit lolita XD

Last-exam-party-day!  Waiting for the bus.. :)

The party was fun, up to the point where people had too much to drink, drama llamas everywhere.
Someone took some of my Bacardi, I got super mad!! >:CCCC Haha. Silly drunk me. Might as well have been me drinking it myself, not noticing how impossibly drunk I was. Classy~

 Me and Emilie! My BFF here in Bergen ♥ (Don't mind my mouth here, I don't know what I'm doing haha)
We're moving in together, but it's so hard finding a good place for a reasonable price! We're looking and looking, but either it's too far away from the city center, or it's too expensive or too small.. I'll try my best not to be picky form now on! The most important thing is to actually find a roof over our heads, not how big it is or where it is. (but it actually has to be cheap, we're pooooor students)

 Monday breakfast

 Monday outfit
On this day me and the girls went to Emilie to watch movies, eat junk and gossip all day, all night. It was so much fun! We drank mojitos, ate pizza and watermelon. We saw 自殺サークル / Suicide Club, and I still don't "get" much of the movie.. but I still find it super awesome! 

Outfit:
Shirt: Gina Tricot
Hotpants: H&M
Shoes: Buffalo (old school, bitches!)
Necklace: Combichrist Army + The Prodigy merch
Ring: Don't remember.. haha

Yesterdays "mood" shot
Reading, drinking ice cold water, tanning and eating bread with Nugatti (kinda like Nutella, only better! (YES I SAID IT))

I'll try to write about the skin care products I bought soon, I've been trying hard to use them everyday to see if there's a difference in my skin! I'll write more about that later, now I'm going outside! Some friends and I are going to the park to barbeque! Aaawwh yeah. I hope someone brings sunscreen.
It's RIDICULOUSLY hot outside, the thermometer says it's 34°C right now! Lawd, help us sweaty Norwegians.

May 17th!

Today is the Norwegian constitution day! Yay!
The day of celebrating our country by walking in parades, eating lots of hot dogs and ice cream, and spending the day with the ones you love. 
Since I live in Bergen now, this is the first year that I've celebrated this day without my family and old friends in Trondheim.. I miss them! It was nice hanging out with my jap.class friends though :) ♥ We went to a friends house to eat more hot dogs, and we watched the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy. Always fun to see that movie! 

So today I wore a simple lolita outfit!

Shirt: Zara
Dress: Innocent world
Tights: Harajuku
Shoes: Demonia
Hat: Shinjuku



Sorry for the potato-pictures, I really need to get a new camera as soon as possible!
I'll probably blog more about what's happened these last weeks, but right now I need to just lay down on the couch in my jammies and relax for a bit.
My fellow Norwegians, hope you had a wonderful celebration today! ♥ 
Gratulerer med dagen!

Hiatus..kinda.

Aaaah I want to blog so much these days, but I can't since I'm in my studying-all-day-all-night-for-the-finals-mental state.
The first final is in exactly a week, and that's the japanese final. hat should go pretty smoothly.
The second, and the most dreaded, is the 15th, and that's the japanese culture and society final. It's not that the contents are boring (well, some can be..)... It's more that the books are written in academic english, which I'm not very good at, so I lose my concentration every other sentence. So we've had some study groups and talk about the different topics (ie. politics, different eras, work life, women etc), and that loosens up the tension for me, and it makes it a lot easier to read afterwards! Yaaay.

Aaand now I'm procrastinating by updating my blog and writing about how good a student I supposedly am.. haha.

I'm guessing this could become me:
Anypoo, off to uni! *swoosh*
