A few days ago a woman contacted me about a job opportunity.
The proposal sounded okay I guess, but it was a risk I wasn't sure I wanted to take.
Why should life be so hard? and why couldn't you get a hint once in a while on where to go or what to do.
I'm employed by the hours, and some months I have more work than others. January's a very good month for me since I almost have a 'fulltime-job', I'll work pretty much every day exept a few days off to catch up with some sleep. And this woman wanted me to get like an internship with her company to work for her for three weeks without pay in January without missing any day or interroupting her already made schedule.
So what she was saying was; I have to quit my current job (which is ten minutes away from my home) to start ''working'' for her for three weeks without pay, and to get to this job I'll have to take the train for one hour AND the buss, early in the mornings or at night when the trains might not go as often or at all, to maybe just maybe get a fulltime job after my internship is over.
It's just very confusing and very complicated and come to think of it it doesn't sound that tempting at all.
Also, where's my goddamned snow?! I want snow on christmas :C
Hi guys! I'm currently working on gathering supplies for my winter cosplay. I'm going to make Elsa from Disney's Frozen but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to details. The clear/glass/ice pumps she's wearing. I've been looking for a pair for the longest time now, and today I found the sole. It's from a chinese business so I contacted them and hopefully they'll get back to me within 5 days. It's going to be a bit of a challenge but I'm going to make the shoe from scratch. But since I found the sole I want I'm super excited and I really hope they company will help me get the shoes of my dreams.
I made a makeup test along with my half finished wig and this is what I came up with. I'll make a few changes in the make up when I'll wear it but other than that I think it looks okay. The wig isn't styled and trimmed yet but this is what it looks like so far.
I went christmas shopping a few days ago with one of my dear friends Sofia, and since I haven't had a goodie bag for a while ;) I decided to spend some money on myself as well.
I bought a few make up brushes from ginatricot, the world war z on bluray (I'm still trying to read the book but It's really not my type of book, I'll tell you why in another post).
And I bought some powder, bronzer and concealer for cosplays along with a black lipstick.
I found the black lipstick at bluefox.
And another book.. I think I might need help.. I keep buying books and piling them up. I read a ton of books but I buy more than I can keep up with.
And I also bought one of bodyshop's new moisturizer with vitamines for extremely dry skin. I'll write a review on all products when I've tested them but now I really have to get to bed, I'm working 7am to 9:30 pm tomorrow so I need a few hours of sleep.
I think I'm starting to grow up because this is pretty much everything I want for christmas. I'd really need some ballet warm up boots from bloch, a perfume from Viktor & Rolf called flowerbomb and the game of thrones series.
When I was younger I had like a two pages list with stuff I just "had to have" but now I guess I start to appriciate all the stuff I already have and the most important thing is I want my family to be happy and healthy.
Working when you're sick, that's what sucks. I have a fever and my throat is sore and not to mention that I'm dizzy from all the coughing. Staying at home isn't much of an option for me either since we're about to lose our jobs so we have to take every opertunity we've got to earn some extra cash before we become unemployed or go back to school.
Me? I have a back up plan, I intend to go back to school even though I don't want to - but I think it's about time I get a deploma or a degree of some sort while I'm still young.
I just have one hour left at work and then I have to get to this terms last ballet class. I just wanna go to bed right now.
Beeing so stressed out all the time really takes a toll on your immune system.
Hi guys! A week ago me and my friend Stephanie talked about upcoming photoshoots we wanted to do and we also talked about what makes a great cosplay/costume. We found a pair of decent Levi cosplayers (from the anime attack on titan) but I didn't quite like the shoots. This is one of the images we talked about. Personally I think it's too much of the coat and blurr going on in this image and we discussed about setting a mood into a picture, so I talked to Steph about this and made this quick retouch of the image.
I don't know what you think but I would prefer a image that looks a little like this.
Hi guys I'm currently blogging from my new computer. A new computer huh? what happend to the last one? Well let me tell you... absolutely nothing. I have one computer for work related stuff, a monster computer if you will, custom ordered for my special needs. I bought my ''old'' computer for photo and movie editing and this new one is my portable typing machine. It's what I call it anyway. It's for writing purposes only. I'll be able to take this computer with me wherever I go. I also wanted something to play with since I'll be start traveling a lot in the future. I'll spend quite a few hours at the airplane and who wouldn't like to bring a computer with a few movies on it and maybe something to play on or whatever floats your boat to make the time fly while.. you're flying... hehehe ;) I just wish airplanes had wifi or internet, that way I wouldn't mind flying at all..exept I would very much like to bring more things to drink with me. I need to keep swallowing something so the earlocks won't bother me so much. And by drinks I don't mean alcohol, I mean it as in any kind of beverage, juice, water, coca cola, any fuzzy drink really, just not coffee.
Well this was a rather quick and boring update. I'll show you some pictures of my new computer when I get some time off. I've been working a lot recently and I'm starting to feel a little worn out. Here's some fun facts about me before I go to bed: I'm 24 years old, I've never liked the taste of coffee and I don't drink nor will dring or learn to drink coffee, I much prefeer a cup of tea. Cheerio
So I'm done with the business school/course w/e and I think this image sums everything up. -Where to go, what to do now, and what's my next step? As for now I guess I'll keep working and eventually I'll start up my own brand when I have my portfolio up and running.
I have a ton of costumes I need to complete so I can move on. As for now, starting tomorrow I'll start working on the commissions I've been asked to do, and I'll be done by next week hopefully. Some are more time consuming more than others. Why I haven't gotten myself to do it earlier? because I'm such a critic and perfectionist. I'm making a tattoo for a girl at work, and I just get such high levels of anxiety when I think of it because she's going to have my art on her body possibly for the rest of her life. It's an honor as well as it builds up such preassure. I can't draw something with some anatomy on the drawing beeing off. I guess I'm beeing to hard on myself but we'll see how it turns out, f she doesn't like it I'm fine ether way.
As for now I'm going to watch Kiki's delivery service and then I gotta' hit the sack. I'm working 12h tomorrow so I can finaly afford to go to America over new years!
Hi guys I think I should explain why I'm blogging that often anymore. It's because I've been in school - of which I'm almost finished with. And I'm working on my portfolio plus I'm working on the weekends as well.
This is a sneak peak of what I've been working on and what's been taking so much of my spare time.
I've been working on this wig for a cosplay I wanted to make for years. Believe it or not but I've made it from scratch using a special knotting method and yarn. When I've made half the wig I'll upload a process vlog showing you guys how I made it. But as for now, and as you probably can see this fucker eats my spare time and the hours meant for sleep like it's skittles. So far I've used two balls of brown yarn, one orange, two white and one black. I'm all out of orange so I need to go back to panduro to get me some more.
I'm pretty worn out. School monday-friday, working on the weekends, and on the spare time I've been working on my buisness/homework and this wig. When I've done 50% of the wig I'll put it aside to make a few commissions that I have piling up.
I'm just so worn out from never having any time off to just relax and I've been sick as well so I missed out on a lot of ballet lessons which sucks big time. This is too much for one person to handle.
I desperately need a personal pepper pots to make a schedule for me or something.
I'm sorry I've been occupied all day with work and I'm exhausted so I'm going to watch a movie with my parents. I found this image on tumblr and I really like their outfits... especially the grey with the baby pink uggs.
I've been working until now :) right now I'm on my way to buy some art supplies to continue with my bunny feet. I ran out of glue yesterday.. I'll check in with you guys later!
Hi guys! This is what I've been working on since I came home from school. Can you guess what it's for? No? Well stay tuned and I'll update you tomorrow with some more progress ;)
If you're about my age or a few years older you might be able to take a stroll down memory lane with me.
It's a theatre costume if you didn't figure that part out from the picture, and it's someones/somethings feet I'm currently working on.
I can't work much more on this today since I ran out of glue and I've got homework to do.
Hi guys I'm staying home today. I have to catch up with too much to stay in class and listen to stuff I already know. I learned it by helping out with running events and conventions.
Yesterday we had a entire day with just lectures on social media... like I need that. The teacher was lecturing about how to make a profile on facebook and how to use it, and what to have on a website and other social media like blogging.... to be honest, the only reason why I'm taking this class is to maybe get some kind of grade or diploma on what I already know.
I've been really bad at posting personal images lately and there's a reason for that. I'm drowning in paperwork, school and work. So I'm going to show you some images of what I've been occupied with lately:
I'm studying for my drivers license, and I'm taking a buisness class on how to start my own business and on top of that I have commissions and my costumes to work on.
Last week was hell:ich,
Monday - Friday: 8 am - 8:30 am = feed the neighbors cats and bunnies 9 am - 4 pm = School 4:30 - 5:30 pm = feed the neighbors cats and bunnies and clean the litter boxes and socialize with them 6 pm - 7:30 pm = ballet 8 pm - 11 pm = study, eat and work on commissions and my business 12 pm - 8 am = sleep
Saturday: 6:10 am - 6:30 am = feed the cats + bunnies 7 am - 3 pm = Work 4 pm - 5 pm = eat and study 5 pm - 6 pm = feed the animals and clean the litter boxes and socialize with them. 6 pm - 12 pm = study and work on commissions
Sunday: 10 am - 11 am = feed the animals and socialize 12pm - 2 pm = study and work on commissions 2:30 pm - 9:30 pm = work 10 pm - 12 pm study and work on commissions 12:30pm - 8 am sleep
And that's pretty much what I've been up to lately.
The feeding cats part have just been added to my schedule this previous week and the owner will come back tomorrow so I'll feed them one last time tomorrow morning just before I go to school. It will be nice to get to sleep in and take some time off once in a while. I used to have bunnies and a dog and several birds, it's sad to say but I don't miss having pets. I really miss my friends, but after 22 years of taking responsibility of so many animals with the cleaning and feeding and grooming it's really nice to be able to sleep in once in a while (when I get the opportunity to do so) I'm about to as we call it in Sweden ''to hit the wall'' any minute now. Blogging is a full time job, starting up your own business is a full time job, and on top of that I actually have to keep doing my design projects so I have a business to run and products to sell when the paper work is done. Plus I'm working on the weekends. So I'm not going to have a single day off in six weeks.
But I shouldn't complain. I love my school, and I'm super excited to really start doing things. I'm going places and right now it's baby steps but I'm getting there.
Please bare with me, I know most things I upload isn't that interesting but I'm crazy busy right now.
Hi guys! I'm taking care of my neighbors cats for a week, and her two bunnies. I mean it's super convenient since it's just next door haha. They're super cute and very social but I'm pretty sure they just see me as their feeding machine though since I only go in to them when it's time to feed them and clean the litter box. I'm going to have rough six weeks now not only because I'm taking care of the cats, I'm going to have a rough time because I have so much to do.
I need to feed them and clean up before school and then go to school (I guess I forgot to tell you guys about it but I went back to school. I'm taking this how to start up your own busines course with economics, law and all that stuff). And I'm working on the weekends. So I'm not going to have a day off in six weeks. Which sucks, but hey what can I do? I need to know this stuff and I need the money. Sometimes I wish I just had a regular job like everyone else. Like working monday to friday with a monthly income.
I bought a few stuff these last days and I'm going to tell you guys about it perhaps tomorrow? but I have to work on my buisnes plan and set up a password for my USB I bought today just for busines purposes.
I hope you guys are okay, peace out dudes! (sorry, about that, I've been watching way too much teenage mutant ninja turtles).
Hello guys! It's my birthday today! or rather, it was my birthday.. most of the day have passed by now :)
I spent it wisely ... browsing for fabric and I had a cup of warm chocolate with my dear friend Stephanie.
I'm currently home watching TMNT and waiting for my mom to come home from work so we can have a piece of cake. But yeah that's my birthday, sweet 24th birthday me!
I'm not a party girl nor have I been so this is how I spend my birthdays. Mostly just with family and a few close friends. I hope you guys had a nice day! I did :) tomorrow I'm going to start working really hard on my projects again. Drawing a lot of stuff and ... well you'll see! I'm sorry I'm not posting much personal stuff like selfies or stuff like that. But hang in there, I'll make it worth the wait.
I've been working 14 hours today and this gif pretty much sums up the day. I'm pretty exhausted from answering the same questions time after time after time. Sometimes I just want do a Nick Cage on them.
What really bugs me is that I can't, gotta' stay professional no matter how sick and tired you are of their stupidity.
example:
-where's the phone so I can call a cab?
*stares at the sign right next to them where it say phone this way and then looks back and then slowly raises an eyebrow*
