Brace yourselves

 

Even though I haven't blogged for a very long time it doesn't mean I haven't been up to mischief. One of the things I've been doing a lot is shopping!!
This week starting tomorrow I'll be posting a lot of images of what I've bought recently and what I think about the products. Like a ton of product reviews.

I've also got news, I'll be going to the fashion event this saturday. I'll take a lot of pictures and film it for all who can't participate.
 
 
 

The truth behind my absence


I've been away for quite some time. It's because I've been working really hard and I've been sorting out my room, cleaning stuff, throwing things away and today I've finished my workspace.
My dad helped me putting up the bookshelf and I put on the lights under it and hid the cables.
The thought behind my workspace is to be able to put things away with less effort, like if I want to study or write I should be able to put up my sewing machine on the shelf or if I'll be making something I can just put up my computer or hide it on top of my make up drawer.
All that's missing is my make up mirror with lights but shit so expensive I have to wait a little longer. Other than that It's finished. (and oh ignore the IKEA bags with books, I'll be taking them down into our storage room tomorrow or the day after that) I'll make a vlog when my room is completely finished so you can see the complete look of my room!
 
 
 
 
 
 

Valentines day

 
Happy valentines day from sailor venus!
I'll tell you guys about my day tomorrow, I've been quite busy today. 
 
 

And I'm back

 
I started this morning with a blurgh, I'll spare you the jummy details but it involves snot running down the back of my throat and me vommiting it up. It was extremely disgusting but I feel much better now.
Since I've been sleeping for a week now I really have to take care of things I've put on hold for a while. I have to go out and buy some painkillers and pick up a package before they send it back. 
Other than that I'm going to clean my room and do a little bit of laundery. 
 
 

Sick

 
bbl, gotta' sleep for another week or so
 
 

Ocarina

 

I wanted to practice my ocarina today but I had to paint.. something first. I'll show you guys tomorrow… hopefully.
And I've got another cold :D YAY WINTER!
Oh right, well I got my ocarina yesterday? And I also got a booklet with a few lord of the ring songs. I can't wait to learn how to play it properly. Right now it just feels like I'm about to attract an owl or two. Believe it or not but it's harder than it looks. 
 
 

Fitnessguru

 
 
I would have uploaded this yesterday if it weren't for adobe.

I got my ocarina yesterday along with my package from fitnessguru.com
I ordered a few protein bars to try them out. I actually got the banana chocolate one a few months ago on my way to school when I ran across two girls who handed out some information about a new gym for girls and they gave me the chocolate banana one whey protein bar. I really liked it so I tried to find it in stores but it was almost impossible to find. So I googled it and I found the fitness guru webpage and surprise surprise they actually had it. So I ordered two and also the apple pie and chocolate orange one. Just so I could try them out. Believe it or not the apple pie actually tastes like apple pie even though it looks like any chocolate diet bar. I didn't taste much chocolate at all, just the apple and cinnamon.
I have yet to try the orange chocolate one before I order more but I'm sure I'll like it.
And they sent me some samples of a fat burner pill along with a free t-shirt. I was very surprised when they sent me these extra stuff. Especially the t-shirt hit the spot. Even though it was the largest t-shirt I've ever owned in my life, I put it to good use (I gave it to my father). I could have kept it for myself as a dress, but my dad's a former bodybuilder and still exercises, so I gave it to him so he have something to work out in.

I'll tell you more about the ocarina later today, I'll have to "paint" something first.
 

Technical issues photoshop & raw

 


Hi guys, I couldn't blog yesterday because of this fucker ^
I couldn't open and edit raw-files in photoshop anymore since the camera I got a month ago is too new. Yes boys and girls, photoshop needs like an extra support patch for the new cameras out there if you want to edit them in the high quallity-raw that you'r camera is actually made for. But if you settle for a ''normal quallity .jpeg'' you won't be needing this, nor do you need a expensive as fuck camera.

It's a bit tricky to fix because you need to find the exact right version otherwise it won't work :D can you feel my irritation? I can feel it in my own room, it's like a very thick black fog of frustration.

The photoshop is now good to go, now I just have to do the same shit for my lightroom as well. Goodie that won't take to long, just all day basically.
Fuck you adobe, really.
 

Chillaxing

 
Lovely winter and cold days.
I haven't done anything productive today. I've spent my day all cuddled up on my couch with my blanket and I've played skyrim all day (I'm allowed to do that on my t-o-m). I'm going to jump into bed early today just so I can read some game of thrones before I go to sleep. 
 
P.s how do you like my new bookmark? It's one of those 3D cards I used to collect when I was a child. I found it at pocketshop
 
 

Ballet

 
Hi guys, I had this terms first ballet lesson! I really enjoyed it although my legs are sure to let me know I haven't worked out for a month or so. Plié and practising jumping for almost 1.5 hours, that's a great way to burn all that extra christmas fat.
p.s I love Lucille Ball

Margaery Tyrell photoshoot

Here are the results from yesterdays photo shoot. I know they're not as high quality as we wanted them to be but the shoot was so stressful since we didn't get Sofia ready until 2pm and the sun sets here like 3-4pm? so we really had to rush things and it was freezing. And I also forgot a very important piece for the tripod so we couldn't use that at all which sucked big time. And her character usually lives in a very warm climate so we didn't get the enviroment right. We'll have to redo this shoot when it's summer. But atleast she'll have a few photos for her facebook page

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Preparing for tomorrow

 
I'm going through my SD card and deleting a few test images I had. I'm going to take a few pictures of my dear friend Sofia's cosplay tomorrow so I have to charge my batteries and get my camera bag ready and fit for fight! It's going to be insanely freezing tomorrow, especially for Sofia but hopefully the images will be worth it. 
 

Merlin

 
 
 
Hi guys! I'm not sure what to tell you exept that I'm still working on my wig and I can't stop watching Merlin. It's my heroin. My hand is hurting today so I won't be doing much but staying in bed watching Merlin and just relaxing. 
 
 

Done for the day

 
So this is how far I've come with the wig today. I'm slowly getting there but it's hell of a process.  It looks a lot like a Legolas kind of wig right now but it's only because I haven't added enough hair in it. 
I love making wigs but it's really painfull for my back since I don't have a proper wigstand.
The lighting in my room sucks btw, the wig in it self is more of a platina blonde wig but without proper lighting it looks more yellow than it is.

New in: Nikon 7100 and update

 

Hi guys! I've been really busy lately just working my ass off so I could afford this beauty! I've had my eyes on it since it came out so almost a year now? 
I went to a place called kameradoktorn which is a nikon specialist shop and me and one of the sellers/owner? (I think he's the owner) of the shop talked for like almost an hour or so about the camera and lenses and flashes and everything camera related. I really love find someone to talk about things I really like doing and when you get along so well you can actually talk for hours! His daughter have a Nikon D80 just like me and he told me that she could use one of these as well. 
They had like starters kit with the camera house and a program called lightroom or if you wanted to pay more you could also get a lens with that. But I told him I didn't need the program and that I wanted another lens that wasn't in the package-starter-deal-kit they had so we made a deal, I got all this, for 10 500 SEK wich I think is a really good deal. I got like 500 SEK off which is great! 
What I ended up getting was:
* Nikon D7100
* Nikkor lens Af-S DX Micro 40mm f/2.8G
* Nikon strap
* Charger, battery, battery-charger-cable and a usb-cable for the camera
* 16 GB SD card
* 32 GB SD card
 
 
And here's what you've been waiting for, not really but here they are:
Some snapshots from the new camera
 
 
 
 
I hope you guys enjoyed your christmas, as for me it's been very hectic and really really busy! As for my new years resolutions here they are:
* No more candy or fuzzy drinks
* Really get my blogging started and also my vlogging and my other projects 
* Get my website up and running
As for today I'm just going to eat dinner, and after that we'll have pears with fudge and whipped cream and then go to bed since I have to be back at work tomorrow at 7am. 
 
 
 

X-mas gifts

 
 
 
 
Since everyone's sharing what they got for christmas I wanted to show you what I got as well! 
I'm super happy about my gifts and I'm glad my parent's haven't decided I'm "too old" for nerdy/geeky gifts like tv-games or books because it's who I am and what I like doing in my spare time. And I also got this super sweet flowery perfume from Victor and Rolf, I almost got a bit mad at my parents for giving me the 50ml bottle since I know how expensive it is and I'd rather had them spend more money on them selves but they wanted me to have it since I don't have so many perfumes.
Tomorrow I'm going in to the city to see if I can find something good at the x-mas sale. Sharpen your elbows ladies!
 
 

X-mas day

 
Merry christmas everyone.
I totally forgot to update today since I was so busy and I fell asleep on the couch so Im actually going to bed early today since I'm so tired.  I hope you all had a wonderful christmas and I'll show you guys what I got tomorrow! 

X-mas

 

Nuala wig making

 
 
 
So this is what I've been doing since I came home from work. I'm working on my princess Nuala cosplay. Since my blonde front lace wig was so thin I had to add extra hair and later on I'll be dying it and cutting it. 
So far it's turning out pretty well!
 
 

Twinkies

 
Hi guys guess what?!
The twinkies are back!!!
Since I'm a huge movie geek (duh) and I read a lot, and when I say a lot I don't mean like "meh, one book a month" it's somewhere in between 5 to 10 books per month depending on how many pages the book is... look at me, I'm getting all carried away talking about books.
To the point: twinkies have been talked about in so many movies, series and books so I always wanted to try one out. But when you live in the 'wrong country' it's kinda hard to get your hands on one ya' know. And when you've grown old enough to actually go to America and maybe somehow get your hands on them, they stopped making them. M@ther*^kers! And the internet went bat shit crazy over it. "The end of an era" etc.etc yada yada.
The other day I went to a store close to my home called American imported candy or something like it and believe it or not, I actually found twinkies. So I asked the girl behind the counter about this and she told me something about a rich canadian dude who bought the recipe and started making them again. He must have heard the cries and the desperation from the internet and helped them out or something- fuck yeah power to the people!!
So anyway, when I got home I wanted to take a picture and show you guys but believe it or not my battery to the camera was dead so I had to charge it and then I went to bed, the day after I woke up with a migraine (must have been the sugar overload from the day before) but here it is.
I tried one out as soon as I opened the box but I was very disappointed. I have a sweet tooth, I'm one of those people who want- not tea with sugar, but the opposite: sugar with tea. It's like 70% of the cup should be sugar and the rest is tea. That's how much I like sweet stuff, but this twinkie was too sweet for my taste. It just tasted like a ton of preservatives and sugar. I had one, and that's enough.
Was I disappointed? Indeed I was, but atleast I've tried one out.
 
I bought a few lollipops as well. Those I actually liked. One with banana strawberry, another one was bubblegum, third was cotton candy and the last one was candy apple. I'll be going back for more of those!
