cheap lip butter VS expensive lip butter

Fall is here which means it's getting colder outside. One thing that's always needed is a trusty lip butter to protect your lips from drying.

The first lip butter is called ''Lip Butter Vanilla & Macadamia'' from Labello. This product is a total copy from Nivea. But anyway it's still an alright product. It smells like heaven in a small bottle. It does the job pretty well but it makes your lips feel dry again which means you have to keep re-applaying it... If you think about it it's a smart move by the company to do that because people will keep buying even more lip products to use. This product was really cheap (3$) & it does a pretty descent job.

The second one is the ''Chocomania Lip Butter'' by The Body Shop. This one is on the pricier side. It costs aroud 12 US Dollars. Which is 4 times more expensive than the first lip butter I mentioned but 4 times as better. This product is a miracle worker. It does the job & heals your lips so that you don't have to re-apply it all the time. It smells like choclate I mean who doesn't love chocolate!?.

Cory Monteith - GLEE - The Quarterback

Today I watched glee's latest episode titled ''The Quarterback''. I don't think anyone has missed the fact that cory monteith (the guy that plays finn hudson in the show) has passed away. He died from mixing drugs with alcohol. I don't want to say that he brought this on himself because you could never know what a person is really experiencing. I just think that his passing is a huge loss for so many people. I was personally heartbroken when i heard about his passing. When the results came back & showed why he died I was so mad with him. All I was thinking how could he have been so stupid!?. I was so angry at him because look at what he has done to the people that loves him. As time went on I realised that only he knows what really went on in his life & that I shouldn't judge him. Instead I'm trying to just remember all the good & posetive things I got to see from him in Glee.

I just finished watching finns memorial episode. I cried from the first minute to the last second of the episode. I have never seen an episode of a TV-show be so real. Because they where showing their real emotions. Pretty much every actor broke down in tears & so did I... For a month now I have been wondering how this episode will turn out to be. I think they did a great job with it & honoring his life in a positive spirit. They never mentioned how Finn died in the episode. Wich I think is a good thing. The sadest part of all of this for me is that there will be no more ''finchel'' moments. No more Lea & Cory & no more singing duets with them. In glee we see a lot of singing wich I hate. But when rachel & finn sang togheter I always listend & enjoyed. I never klicked fast forward when the sang together.

I'm home

I'm so exhausted from the Stockholm trip. I came home yesterday late at night. The trip wasn't so great the only thing that was great about it was to be in my favorite city. I had such high hopes for this trip. It started of great until it was time for us to explore the town then some people got in a funky mood. I hate negativity I absolutely hate it. Then it was time for the theater which also sucked. It was so boring that I fell asleep as the play went on... Then it was time for us to go out to the city again & of course it starts to rain.

Though there was a lot of negativity I had some great moments over there. I got to see the most amazing view of stockholm when we visited the prime minesters office. I got to see that famous voting room & other cool places. The last day of the trip we went to a '' filming place for the news ''. I participated in the news show as a debater. I got to talk about blogs for like a minute.



This is the room where all the big meeting are held. Obama was here just a month ago in this room.

Going away for two days

In just a few days I will be heading to Stockholm!. I can't wait, the trip is going to be awesome. I'm going with my school which is a bummer... but I don't care since it's Stockholm that's my destination. Stockholm is a really special place for me. I don't know why but I feel so at home over there. I just love everything about it. I've been there 3 times before in my life & everytime is just as amazing as the last time I was there.

I'll be there for two whole days. The first day we're going to visit the parlement & if we're lucky we'll meet the Swedish prime minister. The second day is the worst since we have to visit this really boring museum... ugghhh.

But I honestly can't wait. I'll be enjoying the shoppin & loving life over there. What's not to love?.

This is a pic I took last year in Stockholm I'll post more later :)).

New footwear for fall/winter

Not to long ago I went shopping and bought myself a new pair of boots. These boots are really popular & I wanted to get them last year but sadly they where all sold out in stores. So I made a promise to myself that I would get to the shoe shops in time next year before they run out again. Every year I need to buy myself new boots for fall and winter season. Since I always buy cheap low quality boots they brake easily. I've had enough of it now.

I bought the ''Dr AirWair Martens'' boots in the black color. I got them in real leather instead of fake because I want them to last as long as possible. They where on the expensive side but I'd rather pay a lot money for good quality than having to re-purchase boots every year. You actually save money on it in the long run!!.

Here are some pictures of my boots :).

This is the front of my box that my boots came in

Stage fright

If there is one thing that I hate more than studying is to have to speak in front of a group of people. Yeah that's right I suffer from stage fright. I've had this problem for as long as I can remember. I have an assigment on a book that I have to talk about in front of two classes. 

When the moment comes and i have to go up there and start talking I get the typical symptoms. Heart starts pounding hard, cheeks turn red, hands start shaking & voice goes high pich. I hate to have this problem because my mind understands that it's nothing to be afraid of. My mind gets it but my body doesen't & that's when i get mad at myself for not getting over this problem. Every time it's an issue & I'm sick of it.

Sticking with the basics

When I was abroad this past summer I came across an eyeshadow palette from '' catrice cosmetics ''. It's called absolute nude eyeshadow palette. It comes with 6 different shades of brown and an applier. The price was really affordable!, it cost me about 5 dollars wich is just about 4€ & 3£. I think that catrice cosmetics is a German company.

This is my go-to palette! I use it pretty much every single day. The quality is really descent considering the price. It doesn't crease on me that easily & you can create so many different eye-looks with it.



I tried to do a smoky eye  with the palette once and this is the result. I normally don't do a smoky eye on my eyes. But I just love how it makes blue eyes pop :).
