December 2011
I really love this bra (bandeau) that Victoria and Stian got me for Christmas. So cute. Now I just want it in more colors.
I probably should have removed the tag first, though...
I had no time for blogging yesterday, because at 9 in the morning I was dragged out of bed to attend my own bachelorette party! And I wasn't back home until about 2:30 at night. It was a long day, ...
We're just a few days away from the start of a new year, and like many others I am thinking about which resolutions to make for the year of 2012. New possibilities, new opportunities, and new exper...
I definitely needed another warm sweater, and this one is perfect. It's very comfortable and I really like the color. It was only 199 NOK on sale at Floyd today. Don't you just love all the sales a...
We only have 6 more days in Norway, and since we need to make the most of it we already have almost every day planned out. Yesterday me and Andy went over to Anette's place to hang out with her and...
I really do love Too Faced's eye shadow collections - I only wish I had more of them. I have the natural eye collection and I think it's perfect for everyday looks. You can use it when you're going...
This was me today, legwarmers and all. I don't know what most Norwegian families do on December 25th, but we have a "rule" that says we should be dressed up all day - you know, it's a family day an...
Christmas has always been my favorite holiday, but after I moved to the US I seem to enjoy it even more than before. I love having my family around after 5 months away,and I'm always looking forwar...
PS: My computer isn't cooperating right now, so I'll post some pictures from today whenever I get up tomorrow morning. Hopefully my computer will let me upload my pictures then. Right now I am too ...
Now that everything is up, here is a very small selection of our Christmas decorations. Just looking around our living room right now is making me happy - why don't we keep everything up year round...
I think we might finally be ready for Christmas. We've baked cakes, we've rapped presents, we've decorated the tree and the house, and the family has finally arrived. Ah, I absolutely love this hol...
While putting up Christmas decorations we suddenly found this sign in our Christmas town.
"CAUTION ICK ON SRIDGE"... What? And then I look under it and find a sign that says "made in China". That ...
Okay, I know this is my second post about dresses with abare backin under two weeks, but I just can't help myself! Especially not now - right before Christmas and New Years. I just want them all. I...
I just got done vacuuming and cleaning most of the house so that everything is ready for when we're going to decorate the house tomorrow. I can't wait! It really isn't Christmas until then. I've al...
Wow, we've already been in Norway for 5 days. This vacation is going by so fast! We've also been busy every single day. Andy has met several of my old friends, and I've shown him around downtown an...
A unique gift for your jewelery loving friend? Okay, maybe not. But it's still pretty awesome.
Changeable Bagel Ring by ~hintyhonty (Take a look. It's amazing and fun, miniature food art.)
After we got up this morning Andy looked outside, got excited, and yelled "there's snow!". I've been wanting snow ever since we got here, so I came running to take a look. This was what I saw:
T...
This is the second nail polish I've tried from e.l.f. (eyes, lips, face), and I have to say that it still doesn't disappoint even though it only cost 2 dollars. It's a lovely color that dries fast,...
Now I'm just abut done wrapping presents, so I'm one step loser to Christmas. Ah, can't we start decorating the house yet? I'm seriously like a little kid; I don't think I've ever been this excited...
Victoria, Stian, and Maximilian came over again today, and we all spent a couple of hours just playing around on the floor. As soon as there's a baby around that suddenly becomes acceptable behavio...
I've had a lot of fun making color themed sets from Polivore lately, so I figured I'd post a list of all the ones I have made so far. If you haven't tried Polivore before, I would definitely recomm...
I am so ready for Christmas! I'm in a good mood just thinking about it. It is definitely my favorite holiday, and I love being at home with my family, baking, decorating the house, singing Christma...
There are many things I've missed when I am in the US, but one of the main ones would have to be Norwegian chocolate!
Yum! Actually there is a lot of Norwegian candy that I love. I might get fat...
We're in Norway! Finally. After a very long day of traveling. Bus, planes, and a train ride - And plenty of hours sitting at the airport doing nothing. But it was all worth it to get back home. I'm...
Ahhhh, we're on our way to Norway! Now we're sitting in New Jersey waiting for our flight to Oslo. I know I should be tired since I didn't get any sleep last night (we didn't start packing until 6 ...
In THIS post Liv "challenged" me to try a look with purple eye shadow, so I figured I would give it a go. However, it turns out I only have two different shades of purple, and neither one was as da...
So I'm pretty sure this 50 year old woman who worked at Walmart just tried to hit on me. It was pretty strange.
Me: *looks at scrapbooking stuff*
Her: "Hey foxy, where are you going?"
Me: I thou...

My exam is only 8 hours away and I can't wait to be done with it and officially be on break! Right now I'm pulling an all-nighter to get all my studying done (I have energy drinks to make sure I st...
Ah, I love pretty much everything with a bare back. So gorgeous. Right now I want these:

Ah, I don't know if I've ever been this clean before. I just spent more than an hour in a hot bathtub and I feel amazing. My plan was to read over the notes for my exam while I was in there, though...
Ah, guess who just remembered that she has a final exam on Tuesday. Yeah, that would be me. I had kind of forgotten about it and planned on doing scrapbooking today, but that will have to wait. I a...
I've never been especially great at putting on eye shadow before, but now that I've just gotten a lot of new ones to try, I have finally started playing around with it more. Yesterday I was trying ...
We went Christmas shopping today, and (as always) I ended up getting a few things for myself, and this time it was headbands (and a really cute top).
I thought this knitted, black one was perfect ...
So, it's december 9th, but it feels much more like a Norwegian October. Cold, but definitely not winter yet.
Hmm, I feel like I look slightly crazy in these pictures. I have no idea why.

Our dinner yesterday was delicious! We made chicken fajita's. So easy and fast to make. All you need is bell pepper, onion, mushrooms (optional), chicken, and a fajita spice mix. We use a Spanish r...
I've just gotten started on this year's Christmas gift tags. So simple, yet so fun to make!
HERE are some of the ones I made last year.
There is no better start to the day then a good breakfast (and by "good" I don't necessarily mean healthy, but great tasting, hehe). Today we settled on American pancakes. Yum! Really, I can't beli...

I just got another early Christmas present! The third one so far, actually. My old laptop is extremely old and is hardly working anymore, and I really need it for school. So my parents chipped in t...
After coming back from a great dinner, we (or I should probably say I) decided to celebrate that it was our last day of classes! It has been a long semester and I though we deserved to go out for a...
I'm finally done with classes and we're headed out to our first "Christmas dinner" of the year. I love this season!
It's amazing how cheap e.l.f.'s products are. I could buy everything I want without really having spent that much money. Up until now I have only tried their nail polish. And even though it isn't t...

Ah, I can't get this song out of my head! I've been humming it for about two weeks straight.
I do love it though <3
I have completely fallen in love with glittery/sparkly nail polishes lately (I also really like THIS one from Sally Hansen), and now I've just bought a couple from e.l.f. (eyes, lips, face). The fi...
After eight hours of working at school, and two hours of working after I got back home, I am finally ready to pass out. The only good thing about the end of the semester is that I don't have to get...
Color: Purple by tmvikholton Polyvore
I really love this top, it's so cute! But I can't decide which color I like best. Right now I'm leaning towards the pink one, even though that isn't a color I normally wear. What do you think? Does...
I'm not exactly feeling great today. And I think the picture below explains why. So I'm going to get something to eat, curl up on the couch, and hope I feel better soon. I have a bunch of work that...

I really can't wait until Christmas break - I am so tired of this semester. Right now I'm working on a project that is due on Tuesday, and I have more than enough to do. Actually, it's not that the...
I've completely forgotten to post the rest of my engagement pictures. It's been more than a month since we took them. The whole photo session took about three hours, and in half of the pictures we ...
Color: Beige/Nude by tmvikholton Polyvore
Wow, this is the first time I've ever changed anything on my blog. And I didn't change a lot, but I think this made everything look a bit cleaner. I also like taking one step at a time, and only ma...
