Freezing

 For lack of better inspiration today due to the fact that I'm soo tired,  I thought I'd just show you some pictures I took on my phone yesterday evening when my friend and I went for a walk by the beach. We're enduring some serious winter weather right now, minus degrees, snow and ice everywhere...brrrrr, but at least its pretty, right? The sunset and the colours kind of made it worth freezing my legs off :D

Things I've been loving lately

1. Lana del Rey

 

Pics from Weheartit.com

Truly phenomenal artist, if you haven't checked out her music...YOU SHOULD! Now! Her debut song "Video Games" is rather known but there is a whole lot more (and please, let's disregard the whole SNL thing), her debut album "Born to Die" came out this week and it is a masterpiece. An interesting mix of melodies, intelligent lyrics quoting Nabokov amongst others.  If you do listen to her..what's your favourite song? Currently I'm leaning between National Anthem, Summertime Sadness and Dark Paradise.

Love.Love.Love.

2.  Vampire diaries

Amazing TV show, my obsession, my love. Spent last week re-watching all the episodes from the beginning and that made me realize how much I truly enjoy this show!

3. Simplicity

Fresh faced & minimal makeup, that's my beauty-moto lately. 

4.Movies I've recently watched

Tanner Hall and The Help, Both great movies. Tanner Hall has more of an "indie"/ "independent"feel to it.  The Help on the other hand is excepcionally touching and entertaining as well.

5. Excercise!

  I've been on a slight health kick for the past month, trying to get a move on everyday. I think I'll elaborate on that later since it's something that would require a full post :) I love getting a good work out every single day and I've come to prioritizing it a lot more during the last couple of weeks. 

6. Art

 I've been really into sketching lately, I'm one of those people who can't just sit still and watch a movie, I have to do several things at the same time, so I've been doing a little sketching, specifically working on portraits last week. These aren't great but they're quick ones I did during a movie or when watching a TV show :) (and yes, I'm totally watching Legally Blonde, if you're wondering...)

SO these are some things that have been keeping me occupied for the past month or so :)

New Beginnings

I haven't posted in a long time, ever since December rolled around my bloging hasn't been at it's best and through January I've only ever posted once. Thing is...December was hectic with Christmas and all and then January was all in all just a "there" month, nothing peculiar at all happened, no inspiration at all.

But I've decided to get a move on and actually become a bit more productive during February, hopefully the thought of spring being just around the corner will keep me jovial and inspired :)


SO this roughly means : NEW POSTS! :D

My addictions

So, I've realized that I'm a complete TV-geek...but I love it! Tv-shows are my favourite! Especially now over the holidays, when I'm trapped up in our country house,  I'm feasting on all the wonderfulness that American TV can offer.
Here's a list of my fave's:

1. Revenge - I started watching this last week and I LOVE it! Its all about rich people in the Hamptons with a slightly darker background..hard to explain but its FABULOUS! lots of suspense :D

2.  Modern Family - This show is just plain greatness- funny, witty and simply one of the best! I devoured this show last week as well, 2.5 seasons in 2 days...I have no life when I'm on break!

3. Once upon a time - This isn't one of my favourites, but its still good. Fairytales vs Reality and such, definatley entertaining.

4. Game of Thrones - this is a one of a kind show, so well made and so enthralling! unfortunatley its been on hiatus for quite some time now, think it returns in april or so.

5.  The Secret Circle - The witch equivalent of Vampire Diaries....Kind of. Great show and everything, although it seriously lacks some great looking boys. Nothing compared to Stephen and Damon Salvatore!

6. Pretty Little Liars - Top 3! definatley! One of the best teen shows out there!

7. The Vampire Diaries - Vampires..hot vampires...nuff said.

8. The Lying Game - Entertaining, suspensfull..great!

9. Gossip Girl - I think everyone knows what GG is, Love it!

10. Hart of Dixie - Cute scenery, accents and Rachel Bilson! <3


So all in all, way to many shows to be counted as healthy! And I still want more..got any suggestions?

Decorations around the house

 I'm exhausted! These past few days have consisted of cleaning, cooking & decorating...constantly! + not being able to procrastinate thanx to our internet being broken up until yesterday.  I know I've been making loads of christmassy posts...but I've got to take advantage of the time of year, right?

Tomorrow is Christmas eve! Waking up early, opening stockings, great food, games and presents..s'gonna be fabulous! What kind of traditions do you have?

Hope you'll all have an absolutley fenomenal christmas!
