The last day of every month is always important but today is more!

These past few days have been slightly hectical seeing as today is a big day!
Yesterday I went to my job to tell them that I was going to work another place February and March, a job that my own boss had informed me about. Now isn't that kind?! And well I went there to see my colleagues and my kids as well, only to find out that some of the best colleagues won't be there when I get back. Now that blows, but I wish them all the best and good luck in there future!

Do you like my new shirt? I got it about a week ago. I love girly clothes!

So after I came home from my job my mom and I went shopping for the last things for this big day that it is today! Literally after shopping we cooked until my back wouldn't allow me to stand up straight anymore. I have an S formed back so I get pain in my lower back if I stand or sit too straight and also for too long. Normally only pregnant women get pain in their lower back that often. Weird.

We made home-made sushi and it was delicious! (Of course I had some yesterday as well and in about half an hour I'll eat it again!)

Toppings and ingredients.

The forms that I got for Christmas.

The rice mix.

And voila! Sushi!

You're probably still wondering why this day is such a big day - I'll tell you! My beloved, dear mother is rounding a corner today, going 50. It's weird to think about 'cause she definitely doesn't look like one who's 50 nor act like one (not saying she's childish 'cause she isn't, and she isn't acting like she's teen either but you know, not boring). So HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOTHER!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Now I'm off to celebrate her and eat lots of food and have a glass of wine! Ciao.

"Mirror, mirror on the wall....."

Do you know the feeling of looking yourself in the mirror and pointing out all the things that you don't like or that is "wrong" with you? I'm sure you do. All girls and women go through that, and even if we didn't think so or wouldn't believe it, the celebrities do too. Those gorgeous women that we look up to and wish that we were, they are just like us and have multiple of things they don't like about themselves. I'll show you some things they have said themselves. Here are ten of the many gorgeous women on the red carpet that I know, from myself for example, that we admire and wish we looked like.

Jessica recently said this: "My breasts are hanging, I've got cellulite, my hips are wider than before... All the other actresses are prettier than me."

"I would love to have breasts but I don't. I hate my body and I always think that everyone else is prettier than me. I'm probably going to get Botox, plastic surgeries, my nose corrected and extenssions in my hair within 5 years," Kiera has told.

Angelina has some amazing lips that we others only can dream of having. But Angelina herself doesn't adore them as much as we do. She was once heard saying following: "I feel like they're taking over my entire face!"

"I once read on a blog that someone thought I have tiny eyes and ever since then I haven't been able to stop thinking about that I have too tiny eyes!" Swift has said.

"I've always thought that my ears are weird. That's why I try to hide them with my hair." Selena was heard saying.

Katherine  Heigl has once commented about herself: "I've always had problems with my thighs. I think they are terribly thick. And if I don't do anything about it they will be totally out of control!"

"I have short legs and I'm chubby. And I'm not as free sexually wise as many think I am." Scarlett says.

"I've always been so insecure because of my body. Too tall, big feet and terribly clumsy." Uma has told.

Salma Hayek was once quoted for saying this: "I don't really have a great body but I'm clearly a great actress when I've made people believe it."

Kelly Brook has once said: "I got slightly flapping arms."

Now I don't know about you but I find it calming that those gorgeous women suffer from the same problem that we do, and find things about themselves that they don't like and would like to change. Just like earlier this evening I watched Britney Spears, Femme Fatale - live in Toronto. I while I sat there studying her dance moves and body I got to think of; "How nice that a celebrity gets wider and gains weight because of having kids too." That way it shows that they're just as "normal" as we are. Just as human and not something magical like the media makes them look like. I think it's great that there are "normal", average looking women in the entertainment business so other women and girls can see and realize that it's okay to look the way you do. You don't have to be a size 0. You don't have to have ass-long, bleached hair. You don't have to have big breasts or long legs. 

And who knows maybe if they met you and checked you out, they would maybe want to look like you!

Guilty pleasure vol. 2

So I watched Tarzan yesterday to check if it was true that Mrs. Potts and Chip were a part of the Trashing Camp song - and it was. It's not the first time that Disney uses other characters in movies that wasn't made for them. Mickey mouse shapes appears in a lot of movies like in the background and such, it's actually funny to look after.
Anyways, found the song on youtube for you so you can have a look yourself.

Guilty pleasure

I'm following Disney's twitter account from my own - Disney is a guilty pleasure of mine. And the other day they posted this picture from Tarzan with the question: "Can you find some familiar Disney characters in this picture?" And there they are! Mrs. Pott and Chips from Beauty and the Beast. Now I'm going to watch Tarzan and see if it's actually true that they are a part of it! I will keep you opdated.

Woke up today to this! I love snow! The only bad thing is that it's so cold.

Beauty Tip

If you're that unlucky that you suffer from acne or easily get pimples, here are some things you can or should avoid as much as possible.

Stay away from stimulants like; cigarettes, tea, coffee and too much sugar from soda and sweets need to be avoided.

A lot of times, it is said that everything with potential to affect the whole brain, nervous system and body could easily stimulate sebaceous glands into releasing a lot more oil, which needs to leave your body through your pores, making acne worse in the very end. Also, stimulants can trigger stress.

Beauty Tip

Tomatoes can be used for opening up your pores. Cut a tomato in half and rub it on your face, then rinse it off with cold water to close the pores and get the best results.

I'm sleeping my day away..

It's 4.45 pm right now. I've been up for about 2 hours. I'm so tired at the moment, all the time. All I can do is sleep sleep sleep, and that is exactly what I'm doing. I don't know whether it's because it's winter or simply because I got nothing to do, 'cause really - you do become lazy when you have nothing to do during the day. Sure I could clean, but I can't clean all the time - in the end there's nothing to clean, besides it's not messy nor dirty here. And it's not like there are a whole lot of things to do right here where I live. I've been like this the last week too, hopefully it will change when I start at my new job in February.

So what am I going to do the rest of my day? Evening, night? Well I'm going grocery shopping - that I know. Maybe watch a movie or two and continue knitting my scarf so it'll finally be done, and I can start on a new one that I most likely will need in April. As some of you might know I'm going to a concert in April, and as the planning freak that I am - I'm already thinking about what to wear. It's very important for me to look good seeing as I didn't really when I was younger. So when I'm meeting people or just leaving the house, it's important for me to at least look decent. And since I'll be seeing my favortie band of 7 years, Simple Plan, it's definitely important that I'll look the best (also because my biggest celebrity crush plays bass in the band. It lasted two years, hah. Not that it matters.). And then I'll maybe make a delicious dinner and exercise later. That would pretty much be my day or evening/night. I'll probably be going to bed in 12 hours. I'm a night person, it's bad. I should be working in a bar or be a security or stripper - something during the night so I at least can get something out of my night and not just be online, watching things on youtibe, shopping or watching movies. I once started cleaning during the night 'cause I couldn't sleep. I'm pretty sure I suffer from insomnia, I can never fall asleep and when I'm asleep I can't wake - it's weird. Maybe I should go to the doctor with it and see what the problem is? Or just be that stubborn and force myselfat 9 pm? Read a book perhaps, that helps most of the times.

Once VIP always VIP

The word VIP just really says it all. VIP events just are better. Before you say anything like "Yeah, you probably get VIP tickets for free because of your profession" I'd like to say - I don't, I buy them just like you. If my dream of getting to work in the music industry ever comes true then yes perhaps I'll be that lucky but as of right now, I buy them just like you can.

As you've guessed I'm a huge fan of Simple Plan. They've been my fav. band for seven years now. They were basically the only band I listened to when I was a teen at the 14-15 age, and was a rebel. I found my comfort in their music whenever life was being unfair.

Between Christmas and New Years I received my package from their fan club. As you probably know I'm going to their show here in April. It will be the absolutely first time I will see the guys and hopefully meet them. So I bought a membership of their club because that way I could preorder a ticket through them and if I'm one of the first 50 I will get to a soundscheck party and meet'n'greet. I must add that it's absolutely a pain in the ass that I have to wait until April to actually get to know whether or not I'm lucky to get to the soundcheck.

The crew shirt. I ordered a size M because I remembered the shirt I got from my Adam Lambert VIP membership that was an L. I'm normally a size L because of my breasts. An European size L I guess because an American size L is HUGE. No offense. I must definitely be an American size S. Isn't it weird that there is this huge difference from sizes around the world?

My VIP pass.

And then I got guitar picks. I can't play guitar but I've always wanted to get those during concerts. I'm a bit dissapointed though that David's isn't in the package too - makes me wonder if he's using one or not? Any SP Family members that know that?

2011 in pictures

So just like you, I am sure, I was quite busy in December. December is always so busy. Preparing for Christmas Eve, all the shopping for food and sweets and alcohol not to mention the gifts - which can take ages! Especially if you're like me and want to find the perfect gifts (as possible) for the ones you care for. I don't just want to give them the first and easiest thing, I want it to be as personal as possible. As soon as Christmas is over here, we have family dinner and then we have to prepare for New Years Eve the days after that. During December there are also all the Christmas parties - yes December is a very busy month, social wise - business wise for make up artists, not that much.

So since I've been quite inactive I'll show you the last month of my 2011 in pictures.

In the beginning of December I went Christmas shopping with my parents. Lookie what I found in the DVD section. SONS OF ANARCHY SEASON 1 finally hit the stores here. Go figure I already have season 1,2 and 3. Waiting for 4 to launch and for 5 to hit the TV in the States so I can watch it online. Way behind Denmark!

Had to throw my fav flats that couldn't be saved any longer. They couldn't be glued anymore. It bothered me but I got a new pair.

As some of you probably know I lost my grandpa in the end of October to cancer. Mom and I visited him at the graveyard Christmas Eve to lit a candle for him. Though he died weeks before Christmas it was still really hard to go through this holiday without him. I don't really realize he's no here until I visit his grave and see his name on the stone. It becomes more real when you see it printed and then you realize that he's not coming back. When I'm visiting my grandma it's just like he's at the hospital 'cause we were used to him going in and out. I miss him so much.

During that past 40 days I've lost 8 kg, therefor I needed to go through my clothes and see what I fit, couldn't fit and simply didn't wear anymore - it took days to be honest.

And this is how my closet looks like right now. My girlfriends tell me I got so much clothes, yet I can never find anything to wear - others that know that problem?

At the same time while going through my clothes I got to put all my nicer clothes, especially dresses and skirts in mothproof bags.

Galla skirt.

White/grey/black dress has been my mother's, bought in London.

Purple dress has been my grandma's then my mother's and now it's mine.

My New Years dress. Where it's from is unknown.

Then I had to re-organize my shoes into my bedrollers. These are some of them. I believe there are about 90 pairs there.

23rd December it was time to decorate the Christmas tree. This is before.

This is after on Christmas Day. The gifts are just for my mom, dad and myself from us - except three from my grandma that is behind the tree. Yes, we spoil eachother during Christmas.

My little, gorgeous girl. She's going 3 next month.

And now it's time for the presents I got.

Knives from my aunt and her boyfriend.

Knives from my parents.

Foot warmer. Bonus gift. I have low blood presure so I suffer from cold feet and fingers therefor my mom gave me this.

Toaster. Bonus gift. Both from my parents.

Eclipse and Breaking Dawn. Now that I've seen the movies (I know only the first part of Breaking Dawn), I've decided I wanted to read the books. From my parents.

Sushi tins from Tupperware. Bonus gift from my parents.

Home made pads form warm things and money from my grandma. I'm not into that at all but it was sweet of her.

Padded socks from my parents. Bonus gift. These are great for cold feet too.

SONS OF ANARCHY SEASON 3 from my parents. Yay!

Blender from my parents.

And a pafume from my parents as well that I don't have a picture of.

Bowls and kitchen tools from one of my besties.

Formed as men! They got asses but no penises - I guess the kids should be able to use them too without too many questions?

That was my gifts. If you question the "bonus gift" thing, it was things I got that I didn't wish for.

December 29th I visited my friend and attended their family Christmas dinner - as her date. We're both single, it's a deal we have. And we had this little game with gifts and I got these cute smoothie cups!

And finally. This is me at New Years showing of the new me and my weight loss.
