Redocorating + Walk In Closet

A new year means time for change, so now that I'm the only child left, living together at my parents house, it is time to make one of my gossip-girl dreams come true. 
I'm in the process of re-doing my brothers old room, which is right next to mine, and make it into my new walk in closet and sewing/designing room.
So far I've put on a new wooden floor, and today I'm painting  which is going to light up the room.
I'm really excited for the transformation and I can't wait to show you the final result!

Here is some progress pictures (though I forgot to take some pictures of how it looked before, with the old carpet and furniture, but it wasn't very pretty anyways).

Saturday Brunch

Today felt like the perfect day for a great brunch, so I decided to invite my friend over for some delicious breakfast food. Brunch is a great way to get together with your friends and just sit around the table and talk and eat for hours. We made some smoothie, different fruits dipped in chocolate and some thick pancakes, and it was really delicious. I'd definitely recommend doing this together with your friends for a relaxed day.

A Summerday In Copenhagen

About a year ago two of my best friends went off to the USA to become exchange students and experience the high school- and everyday life as an american teenager. They both ended up in really good and friendly families and had a really good experience. But this year went by awfully fast, and last week I went to the airport twice to greet their homecoming. I am so glad to have them back, and it feels totally normal to be together, even though we haven't seen each other physically for a year. I'm myself going to the airport the day after tomorrow, because that's when I'm going to Crete, so we decided to take a little trip to the city, since the girls who just came home, hadn't been there for a year. It was really fun, and even though we have been there a million times, we decided to walk around like tourists and see some of the famous attractions Copenhagen has got. So we walked past the "RundetÃ¥rn" which is danish for "round tower" and is a big tower made by a former king many years ago. We also went to Nyhavn, which is a very old and famous harbor with houses which are about one hundred years old, and we saw "The Little Mermaid" which is an old statue of a mermaid from the danish author H.C. Andersen's fairytale with the same name as the statue.

A Nice Summerday

Hi there!

I just came home from a long week at the Roskilde festival, which you might have seen in my last blogpost, and it is amazingly hot, so I'm just sat here with some fresh watermelon and water, blogging, listening to Disclosure and enjoying life.



Roskilde Festival (Survive tips, concerts and more) #RF15

Hello there!

Its has exactly been one day since I arrived at home from the very famous danish festival; "Roskilde festival". The festival is one of the biggest ones in Denmark, and is situated in the city, Roskilde. The festival is very popular, and every year about 80,000 people go there. The festival is for eight days in total from the 27th of June til the 4th of July. There are lots of concerts and big names from the music industry performing every year, this year including Paul McCartney, Nicki Minaj, Disclosure, Kendrick Lamar, Muse and many more! I, myself, wasn't going at first because it is very expensive (about 200£ for the ticket + food, tent, chair and other necessities), and I did not know who I wanted to live in "camp"/tent with. But then at the beginning of this year, I though to myself that I had to experience it, so I grabbed my friends and got into their camp, called "camp trash" because our camp looked very unappealing and disgusting at the festival. So I bought my ticket and went on Saturday the 28th of June, and went home on Saturday the 4th early in the morning. The first three or four days of the festival was most about drinking, learning to find everything on the big festival ground, and just having fun. The biggest music names began to play at Wednesday so we just went around partying and also saw some smaller concerts. There was a lot of concert places and stages for artist to perform, but the most popular one called "Orange"-stage was only used on Wednesday and the days after, where all the big names performed. On thursday I saw Florence + the machine and Muse, and on friday, which was my last day, since we went home around 8 o'clock on Saturday  we saw as many concerts as we could. We started of by seeing the danish Marie Key, then we saw a bit of Kendrick Lamar, while we sat in the que for Disclosure to get front row. After about the hours of queuing, which went by quicker than you should think, we got into the "pit" which is the front of the audience by the stage. We actually went front row and right by the stage and it was amazing, since I love Disclosure, and they were the ones I had to see at the festival. All the concerts were on the Orange stage. After the concert (there were some time between every concert where we relaxed or ate food), we went back to our camp to change clothes and then back to the other stage, "Arena", which was just by the "Orange" stage. We were at Arena at 2AM where we saw KYGO. The concert finished at 3:30AM and I have never been to such a late concert before, but it was totally worth it and a perfect way to say goodbye to the festival. After the concert we went back to our tent and talked. It ended of with us going to sleep at 5AM and then we had to wake up at about 7AM. It was though, because I was very exhausted after walking everyday and lack of sleep in seven days straight, but it had been great, and I am thinking of going back next year.


If you are going to Roskilde here is some tips for you to survive the crazy festival:

1. Bring a lot of canned food (canned mackerel in tomato sauce is a must), or just any food that doesn't rotten that easily. It can be a bit expensive if you have to buy three meals a day.

2. Even though you bring canned food and food in general, save some money to buy food at the festival. It is very delicious and there are many choices.

3. Bring your credit/VISA card and very little cash, because it is easy to loose money compared to your card, which you can also block, if stolen.

4. Bring hand sanitizer. The toilets at Roskilde isn't the prettiest and there is no soap. I ended up using a whole little bootle of hand sanitizer (I did also share with my friends).

5. It is not as gross as you would think, unless you are very picky and maybe also if you live in the louder sections, such as L or C (there are different sections at the festival where you have your camp. I was in P, which is one of the more quiet sections).

6. If you want to sleep at night, choose one of the quiet sections such as P. And remember to bring earplugs.

7. There is showers and actually quite good ones, so it is possible to survive eight days without a trip home.

8. There is a lot of people from Norway.

9. Don't drink from other peoples alcohol bottles unless you know them and know that they are not ill.

10. I'm sure most people now this, but don't walk all alone and don't take drinks from others, there is drugs on the festival, even though the police on the festival is trying to prevent it.

11. The first days might be kind of long and you might have second thoughts about why you went, but as soon as it turns night, it is friday or you're at home, you're going to miss it.

12. Just have fun and enjoy the festival!

Gossip Girl obsessed + update

Hi there!

Ah yes, once again I've started watching the "Gossip Girl" series. I originally started watching the show about one or two years ago, and finally finished it last year. But after watching all the "Pretty Little Lias"and "Awkward" episodes/seasons as I possibly could, and some of the "Orange is the new black", I went back to my holy grail; "Gossip Girl". If you don't know what "Gossip Girl" is, where have you been? 
"Gossip Girl" is a show about the life on the Upper East side in Manhattan, New York. In the show you follow Serena, Blair, Dan, Nate, Chuck and their family, friends and enimies in their daily, very dramatic, life. The Upper East side is known to be a very high class society place, and it has been taken to the limit in the show, where you can dream yourself into living the life of the wealthy and beautiful Serena van der Woodsen or Blair Waldorf. Ah yes! How amazing would it be to walk into a Chanel, Dior or Mulberry store and not having to worry about your financials. Sigh, maybe one day! But for now I'm just enjoying the show, and going through the seasons like crazy, while I'm looking forward to my summer break in a few days! Can't wait! I have good hopes for this summer, but I just can't believe a whole year has already gone by. It's like everything has been flash forward since two years ago. Next school year is definitely going to be challenging, and I'm excited and scared at the same time. Excited for new friends, parties and fun, and scared of all the homework and assignments, I know my next year will bring. But there is no reason to look to forward to autumn right now, as I know this summer break will be amazing! I'm going to a festival this month and another holiday to Crete with one of my best friends next month, it's all coming so close know that I've waited so long for summer. I just can't wait! But thats all for now, xoxo.

Sick today

Hi there!
Today has been a really rough day for me, because I've been sick all day. It all started off two days ago, when I got a really bad throat-ache, that felt like knives in my throat, but otherwise I felt fine and just got on with the day. But last night I woke up around five or six AM and felt really hot and thirsty, and my whole body ached so bad, especially my back, no matter how I was lying in my bed. Because I felt really bad and tired, I decided to wait to get up, until my alarm clock would go off at six thirty AM. When my alarm clock went off, I went to the bathroom, but I felt very dizzy and it got very bad as I sat on the toilet, and my head started hurting and spinning like crazy. Then all of the sudden I woke up on the bathroom floor, because I had fainted, and fallen down. I then, very confused about the situation, got up off the floor, and quickly lyied in my bed again, because I knew I was too weak to even stand up. I lay down in my bed, very schocked of what just had happened, and I felt terrible. My dad then came in with some pills for to take away the pain, and after that I've just been lying in my bed all day today, with a fever. So that's how my day has been, and I just felt like sharing my experience.

My New Baby! - Macbook Pro

Hey.

So about a month ago I got my first Macbook Pro, because I've been wanting a computer like that for soo long, but I never really got around to actually buying it (it's a bit expencive). 
But when my old computer got a virus, I thought that I should might as well buy a new and good quality computer. So I did, and it's the one I'm using right now.

The Fault In Our Stars film premier

Hi there everyone!

As you might now I wrote a post about the book "The Fault In Our Stars", which I had just read at the time, because I wanted to read it before I was going to se the film. So on monday the 2nd of june it was finally the day, and I went to the premier of the film together with seven of my girlfriends (even though I had my english exam the day after), and it was really good. There were of course a few things from the book, that wasn't in the film and some of them I must say i missed a little bit, but the rest of the film was so good, and very accurate to the book. I didn't cry (as a lot of people who has read the book did) when I read the book actually, but I cried about three times when I saw the movie. So if you have read the book and didn't cry, there is still a chance you will cry when you see the film.
And even if you don't cry, you will probably hear someone else crying, I know I did, with a cinema full of mostly girls, it can be hard to avoid, haha!

But overall I really liked the film, and I would definitely recommend it to others, but I would also recommend reading the book first, so you know about some of the things that they don't show in the film.


Arizona with pomegranate flavour and popcorn - I'm ready for the film!

Last day of school

Hi!

So we are now in the first month of summer, and I'm already done with school (I still have my exams, but I don't have to go to school every week anymore). So we had a termination on our school which was a day full of activities and fun and a day I will definitely remember.


So it started on the 28th of may, were I woke up at 6:15 AM (it was tough) and then I put on my cheerleader costume (on the last day of school where I live, you dress up in a costume, do a show for the younger kids and throw caramels at them/to them). And then my class and I met at one of my classmates house and ate breakfast all together.

After we had all eaten up, we went outside to take a picture (and it was freezing cold, and I only had a skirt and a tank top on (my costume)).

After that we walked with our costumes on and caramels in our bags all the way up to the school, where we performed our show, which actually went really well.


After the show we went out on the big football field to have a water fight with everyone who wanted to, even though it was still freezing cold.

After that all of us in the ninth grade went up to a field with a big mill on it and had a "shaving gel-fight" were we just splashed shaving gel all over each other, and it smelled really bad, but was really fun.


After we had all been covered in shaving gel, me and some of my girlfriends went home to one of my girlfriends house to get ready for the dinner and party we were going to afterwards.

When we had all washed ourselves, eaten, done our hair, makeup and outfit, we were ready to go to the dinner at about five o'clock.

After the delicious dinner we went to a party near the school, which was so fun and after a long night I went home about 1:30 AM.
