Project re-do room: Update!

So, it's getting closer to the day where I'm going to work on my room with Sean! I've been working on stripping down walls, cleaning out drawers, cabinets, wardrobe and what not. I think I ended up with 1 bag of trash and 3 bags of clothes and items that were good enough to give to charity.

My wardrobe is still a mess tho, because I've crammed everything into it. But of course it'll be sorted when my room is done!

I have gotten most of the things I need. Only things I need is boring things like filler for holes, cleaning shiz for the walls, sponge brushes things to actually paint the wall! It's so close, I'm so excited. Can't wait to see and show you the final thing!


                                              

Was I NAUGHTY or NICE this year?

Disclaimer: I am not bragging with the presents I got. If you cannot handle me showing off some bits, just click out, it's not that hard, there's an "x" on the tab. I like to look back on what I got, so it's mostly for myself to be honest. And I got some pretty sweet things if I say so myself.

This beautiful initials necklace from my brother. (M for Malle and S for Sean/Seanie)

Two gorgeous crystal necklaces and the best book I've ever come across from Seanie! <3

My grandmother has this tradition with giving me something with an angel on every year for Christmas. This year wasn't any exception! It says "Our little angel. You've been a miracle since you were born. This angel will guide you with love through life. We love you!"

My fantastic mother gave me my favourite perfume! She gave me one 2 years ago which I've barely used half of because it's so expensive and I've been scared to use it, but I think I can allow myself to use it a bit more now!

Menu jewellery tree from my mum's best friend. I was so shocked to receive this, it's so beautiful and I think I screamed a tiny bit. You shouldn't have you lovely bum burp!

A beautiful lamb fur from my cousins, aunt and uncle. It's so freaking soft, I sat and hugged it for like 10 minutes when I got it. 

My mum also got me one of these (I think she's going to get another one for me) candle holders! I really like it. I'll be trying and redo my room a bit again when I take down my Christmas decorations!

I also got some money, gift cards and other bits and bobs. I was such a lucky girl this year, and I'm so thankful for everything I got and it was a very very lovely Christmas eve with my family.  

Tomorrow is New Years eve, which I will spend alone because I want to. I don't like New Years Eve, I don' party, I don't drink, I don't like eating fancy food and slap on glitter on my face. So this year I'm at home, eating nuggets with my dog. But for everyone else, if you're going out, please be safe and drink responsibly! And the most important, just have fun and may you have a good start on 2014.

See you next year!

Early Christmas shopping

I'm a person who likes to be prepared. And don't worry, I'm only showing the things I got for people who don't even known I have a blog or can get access to it!

Let's start with what I've (well it's from both my brother and me) ordered for my mum.

Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue 100 ml gift set. Can be found here.

Hedgehog pendant on 18" chain. Can be found here.

When you order online, please order early. Ask or look for the option to return even though Christmas is a bit away, just in case. Because mailing things during December is insane. I KNOW my mum will love these things, so a return will not be needed.

For my grandmother I got:

These adorable tea light houses were a steal from Rema 1000. If you're fast, you can still get them, but in my lokal one they sold out during the first 2 days. The big ones cost 49 kr and the small 39 kr. There's 2 different designs in the big ones and only one design for the small. I would personally love to have these, but my mormor deserve them more than I do!

I also got something for my cousin, my friend Noe (hi baba if you're reading, you'll love what I got your cute arse :i) and Sean, but I don't want to put anything in here because I'm sure at least 2 of them look at my blog!

Now to myself... hihi

Cat make up bag 20 kr, penguin storage box 30 kr (both from Tiger). "Peace, Love and OPI" and "Alpine Snow" 125 kr each, but there's a 3 for 2 offer in Matas at the moment! And then some glittery hair ties arrived today. Can be found here.

I still need to figure out what I'm giving my uncles, aunt, cousins and brother. But good Christmas is still a bit away ;-)

Are you like me, an early shopper? Or are you last minute? Tell me in the comments!

Home Inspiration

*Photos taken from my Tumblr, sources were all over the place and I gave up after half an hour because I'm very ill at the moment. But look, pretty house decorations and interior design!*

*insert cheesy quote/lyric about change*

I've had enough of how my room looked, how my desk was messy and bulky and impractical for what I need in a desk, so I scraped the last few bits of money I had and asked my mum "Hey, can we go to Ikea on one of your days off?" and we headed to Ikea. I will do a full post about how it looks when it's done, when I'm actually fully done. Sean is sending some pictures I asked him to print out for me (can we appreciate people like that, he's the best) and still have some projects I'm thinking of doing. But this is how my room looked for 2 weeks!

If you've ever redone your room, I feel your pain.

Acrylic storage

Set of 2 bought in Rema 1000 for 15 kr on offer.    

Bought in Rema 1000 for 40 kr. Did come with a lipstick divider to put on top.

Tray (did contain 4 coloured bowls) bought in Tiger for 20 kr.

Bought in Rema 1000 for 40 kr.

Lately I've been on a kick with acrylic storage. I don't know why, but I love it. It's not obnoxious and in your face, it can fit into a lot of different room decor styles. I just love it.

I really want to get some Muji look-a-like drawers for make up storage, but I cannot find any within Europe that ships to Denmark and doesn't break my poor bank. I have looked on Ebay, but the second they are over $14 costumes might take it in and I can end up spending $40 on them. And on Amazon I find some good cheap ones but none ship to Denmark and shipping them to my boyfriend in England is just a hassle and I won't see him for over half a year and I'm impatient! So if anyone knows any good ones, please link it my way!

How to: Bubble paintings

YOU WILL NEED:

HOW TO DO IT:

Distribute the acrylic paint into your bowls. Which colours you use are totally up to you.

Pour some washing-up liquid and water into the bowls. You might need more washing-up liquid or paint, but the only way to tell is by trying while you're doing it.

Mix your bubble paint.

Blow into the paint bowl with your straw. Easiest way to tell if you need to add some more paint or washing-up liquid is that if the mixture doesn't bubble well, or the bubble don't have the colour your put in the bowl, it needs a bit more.

Gently put the paper over the bubbles, let it sit for a few seconds and remove. Repeat as many times as you desire and play around with the colours.

Let the paintings dry and afterwards put a bunch of books on top to straighten the paper. Might not be needed if you use really thick paper, but mine was a bit thinner and would curl up because of the nature of putting something wet on paper.

AND VIOLA! BUBBLE PAINTINGS.
