Fun Friday.

Picture: Google

This morning I woke up at 6 AM to go and sing in the church. We have this tradition once every year to gather all the children from the ages 7 to 14 to sing for them (the choir) and to celebrate the start of the Christmas holidays.

I think it is a nice tradition with the exception that I have to get up so early every time..

Anyway after that I went into town and I managed to finish my Christmas shopping! I'm thrilled and so proud of myself ;) Have you finished your list of gifts?

To sum it all up it's been a fun Friday and tonight we'll eat tacos (my favourite dish!) and just be together (the entire family) since it's almost Christmas and all.. Have a great day/evening!

This Christmas.

If I only had one wish this Christmas I would wish that I could fly across the Atlantic Ocean to see you again. If Santa gave me a ticket I know I would go, the question I would ask him is just when?

If I only had one wish this Christmas I would wish that I could spend as much time as possible with you and to do fun things. We could make snow angels and listen to the beautiful Christmas melodies which the church choirs always sings.

If I only had one wish this Christmas I would wish that we could go for a walk in some park and later drink hot chocolate together. We would sit indoors looking outside the window and enjoying each others company besides the cosy weather.

If I only had one wish this Christmas I would wish that I could have fallen asleep in your arms. In my heart the memory of you will always be my precious lucky charm.

If I only had one wish this Christmas I would wish that I could have become your best friend. For I know I would keep my promise if I said that I would stay by your side until the very end.

Gingerbread.

Picture: DeviantArt

So I ended up in the kitchen in the late afternoon baking gingerbread to the entire family. There were quite many but I haven't finished them yet, I'll post a picture tomorrow when I'm done!

But they might look similar to the picture above! All golden-brown and colourful :) Now time for a shower! Have a great evening!

What an awful rainy day. Well it's not raining now but I think it did last night.

Luckily I won't step outdoors today, not that I have planned at least. But you never know, do you? Something might come up.

Anyway I had planned to stay indoors to bake delicious "Christmas" sweets with my mother.

Sofar we haven't started, we've been too busy cleaning, we thought it was better to have everything ready before the weekend.

We'll see if we have energy to do it later in the afternoon because now it's time for lunch! I'll get back to you later. Have a great day!

You are one of the miracles of my life.

Picture: Private - Me

I have been thinking about what you did to me the moment you came into my life. From the beginning I was just an ordinary girl with a life that was of no bigger importance but you made me grow inside.

My eyes had been opened up and suddenly I saw things from a different perspective. I was still me but somehow I had become even more active.

I love the things that you made me discover within myself. Thanks to you I don't feel "small" anymore, no I don't see myself as a little elf.

My heart has grown and so has my soul. You have filled up the empty space I had inside, you have covered the black hole.

Somehow you always seemed to bring out the best in me. I just wish I could make you see..

No matter the distance or whether if we are far apart. You are still right here with me, inside my heart.

I think about you every day and night. If I could, you know I would, try to visit you, I promise you this, I would have taken the next flight.

All that waits now is yet another long, cold and lonely night. Sleep tight.

All I really wanted to say is, You are one of the miracles of my life. It is you that make me shine so bright.

Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love.

A new song that I've been listening to the entire day. I love it and it's definitely a new favourite. The great voice, the lovely sound and not to mention the strong lyrics.

Once again it feels as if yet another artist has expressed a certain feeling/situation by writing such a beautiful song which I, as a listener, can relate to.

Once again it feels as if Leona Lewis took the words out of my heart and made such a strong and emotional song.

Here are the lyrics, and click here to listen to the song.


Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love

"Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain. Once or twice was enough, and it was all in vain. Time starts to pass before you know it, you're frozen.

But something happened for the very first time with you.
My heart melted to the ground, found something true,
and everyone's looking around thinking I'm going crazy.

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you,
they tried to pull me away,
but they don't know the truth.
My heart is crippled by the vein that I keep on closing.

You cut me up and I,
keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding love, I keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding love,
keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love,
you cut me up.

Trying hard not to hear but they talk so loud.
They pissing sounds fill my ears tro to fill me with doubt.
Let them know that the goal is keep me from failing.

Nothing's greater than the rest that comes with your embrace.

In this world alone the loneliness I see your face.
You're everywhere around me, everyone thinks I'm going crazy.

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you,
they tried to pull me away,
but they don't know the truth.
My heart is crippled by the vein that I keep on closing.

You cut me up and I,
keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding love, I keep bleeding, I keep keep bleeding love,
keep bleeding, keep keep bleeding love, you cut me up. ..."

Hairstyles.

Yes, this is yet another gorgeous picture of the Olsens and I must say that this one will probably end up being a personal favourite!

I love both hairstyles but I think my hair looks more like Ashley's.. It's blonde too and I think we have the same length too.

Still I'm saving my hair now, I've decided not to cut it and I'm hoping that it will become longar perhaps not as long as Mary-Kate's though but something in between.

I just realized I love Ashley's make-up too! :) Haha, I love "smoky eyes" - I use it every time there's a party! But it can easily become "too much" if you use it during the day.

Anyway, it's time for a hot shower and after that Desperate Housewives! Have a great evening!

Busy tonight.

Monday again and the day will soon be over. (or for some of you it might just have started? Depending on where you are on the globe)

Anyway I'm busy tonight I'm going to babysit the two little girls which I have mentioned before. So I better get ready! I hope you'll have a great morning/afternoon!

There is still Hope.

Picture: DeviantArt

I still pray for you and hope that everything will turn out right. I still pray for you both day and night.

For I believe that you are strong, I just hope that nothing will go wrong.

Oh dear Lord I wish you could make all the pain go away. I really wish I knew what to say..

I know that we can handle this together. No matter if the sun is out or the rain is pouring down, just ignore the weather.

Keep on fighting, we're right behind you. There is nothing we wouldn't do for you, we honestly love you.

I know deep inside my heart that there is still Hope. I will wright this down and send it to you, in a white envelope.

Dear Lord, if you hear our prayers, please help us now. I wish I could sort out all of these feelings I'm having inside, please tell me how?

I send you all my love and strength to your heart. I believe in you, every piece of me, body and soul, from the biggest to the smallest part.

Church.

It is Sunday today meaning we're going to church. It's going to be a great church service today, a famous man called Lasse Axelsson will be here to sing gospel will all of us.

I've met him several times before and he sings so good!

But one of the main reasons I'm going is because they only have this type of service once every year which is sad, I wish there were more of them.

Anyway time to get dressed, we're leaving in about 10-15 min! I hope you will all have a great Sunday!

The countdown has begun.

Picture: DeviantArt

I noticed when I looked at my calendar earlier this afternoon that today's the 24 of November meaning only one month left to Christmas! Oh my, where did the time go? It's gone so fast. Way too fast.

You might have noticed my "Christmas-layout" here on my blog, I thought of doing something special now for the holidays and I'm not finished yet, this is just the begining ;)

My mother was baking Swedish Christmas buns we call "lussebullar" earlier today so we had that lovely smell in the whole house!

I simply love Christmas. This year will be the best.

Sunny Saturday.

What a beautiful day! The sun is shining outside my window, still I'm so cold! I think it was very cold last night and it still is!

Anyway it feels as if the entire family has something to do today, they are all out running different errands while I'm home - to study maths.. Yes you read it right, I have to study a lot more for the big test on Monday.

Oh my, is that the time? I really need to get started now but first a shower! I hope you will all have a great day! Ciao!

Women in film.

You must see this! It's an amazing film with some of the most legendary women from all time! I love the music that is played in the background and it is so well done!

This is without a doubt one of the coolest films I have ever seen!

Finally Friday.

I'm actually in a hurry, I'm going to town for a couple of hours to study maths with one of my friends from the class and to meet up with E later this afternoon. Otherwise I am happy that it's finally Friday! May you all have a lovely day!

What City Do You Belong In?

You Belong in Paris

Stylish and expressive, you were meant for Paris. The art, the fashion, the wine! Whether you're enjoying the cafe life or a beautiful park... You'll love living in the most chic place on earth.

What City Do You Belong In?

Haha apperantly I belong in Paris! Well to be honest I don't mind, I loved it there! I found this cute test on D's blog, try it for yourselves! Admit it, you must be a bit curious now? ;)

Talking over the phone.

It's been almost six months since you went away. I thought that time was the answer to my heart's complaints, I guess I was wrong because I still feel the same today.

If only there were enough words to describe the happiness I felt today when I heard your voice over the phone. I had to take a walk outdoors and I was glad that I wasn't alone.

No, you were right there with me inside my ear. Suddenly there was nothing to fear?

I was listening to your charming accent and your warm laughter when I closed my eyes and for a few seconds it felt as if I could see your beautiful face. I smiled because I saw every little feature and if you add them all together one can see that each and every one of them belong together like a puzzle, which all contribute in the end to your charisma and your golden grace.

It felt as if a warm summer breeze suddenly caressed my cheek. Your voice gave me hope and strength for yet another week.

I do long to hear it someday soon. Until then I will be right here waiting for you, right next to the big full moon.

Cascada - What Hurts The Most.

A new song I heard earlier today on the radio and I must say that I love her voice!

Cascada has made quite many good partysongs so I was happy to hear that she's made yet another one ;) Not to mention the lyrics in it, it feels as if she took the words right out of my heart...

"What hurts the most, was being so close,
And having so much to say.
And watching you walk away.
Never knowing, what could have been.
And not seeing that loving you,
Is what I was trying to do.."

Anyway, listen to it and let me know what you think of it!

Today's exhibiton.

I spent today's morning and afternoon at a big exhibiton here in Stockholm for all of the students that are planning to study for college/university here in Sweden and abroad! There were over 10,000 students there! It was so crowded especially after lunch.

Anyway I had time to walk around and to talk to different students to hear what they are studying now and why they had chosen it but also to get more information to myself to figure out what I would like to study/work with in the future!

I must say I am very happy because I got so much information and all I need to do now is to do some closer reading and I'll be picking school/programme quite soon.

I hope you've had a great day sofar and that you will have a nice evening! After all it's Friday tomorrow!

I'm looking forward to a quite but cosy evening with my family. Björn, if you're reading this I would just like to say one thing. Happy Birthday bro! I love you! :) Ciao!

All I want for Christmas is..

Pictures: Mint & Vintage

I fell completely in love when I saw these earrings! Aren't they adorable?

They come from the Swedish designer ÅsahjärtaNicklas and can be found at the internet shop called "Mint & Vintage". I would say that they could be a perfect Christmas gift to your mother, sister, girlfriend etc. (To any of the ladies in the family)

I would love to find one of these pairs underneath my tree this Christmas. Have you written your list of Christmas gifts to Santa...?

Grey Wednesday.

What an awful weather it's been the entire day. So grey. So boring.

Anyway, I've done some maths and in a few others I'm of to babysit two girls. Unfortunately I'm going to miss Grey's. tonight, but I think I will watch it on Sunday instead.

Anyway I need to eat something, I'm starving! :P I hope you will have a great afternoon!

Embrace someone you love.

Picture: DeviantArt

What do you see? When I first lay my eyes on this picture I thought it was me.

Look closely, look at the happiness this sweet little girl mediates to us by giving us that look in her eyes. Is it not a beautiful sight?

She is being embraced by someone that wants to protect her from all evil on earth, a special someone who truly loves her. I think it is her father.

She has a shoulder to cry on, a person to trust and rely on. I believe he is thinking about he much he loves her for being his daughter and right that second it does not matter that it never turned out to be a son.

For I had the same look in my eyes the first time I ever let my eyes rest on you. I just couldn't take me eyes off of you.

Although what difference does it make to sit around and dream of it. Perhaps I should take out my needles and start to knit?

No, I am not that old yet. But the time we spent in each other's company is something I simply will not forget.

I miss you more for each day that passes me by. Why did you have to leave? Just please tell me why.

For all I have left is my memories of you and that special dream of you.

A dream of you embracing me. I long for that day when we shall meet again, it will be some day soon, just wait and see. All I am going to do is to wait and just be.

Birthday coming up.

Not mine but someone elses in the family. The 22nd of November is the big day to come. I believe it is one day left? I have to bake the cake tomorrow then!

It's amazing how fast the time goes. Anyway I think I found the best birthday gift! I can't write what I bought here just in case the person might be checking here to get a clue..

But my lips are sealed :) I might tell you on Thursday though. Time to get ready for bed! I hope you all had a nice day! Sleep tight.

The Airport.

Picture: DeviantArt
Once again I have been having these strange dreams. For a few seconds everything changes and suddenly nothing is the way it seems.

I see you within a near distance, only a few meters away in the opposite direction. I admire your splendid smile and seek within your shining eyes for my reflection.

Suddenly we move towards each other and we embrace one another. I feel overwhelmed of having you in my presence for I have missed you like no other.

We stand there in the middle of all the traffic and chaos of people arriving and departing to/from the airport.

In a blink of an eye I am awake again and I'm sitting up straight in my bed, confused due to the fact that I once again had the same strange dream.

What can this dream truly mean..?

Tired already?

I can't be. I mean, it's only Monday? Well to be honest it's been a long day filled with maths and a few other things so I guess I have the "right" to be tired.

I even got a small headache going on :/ Not good. Not good at all.

Anyway I think I need to take a shower to "wake up" because I got so much homework to do besides the big test I was talking about before. I'll write more later! Have a great evening.

They're back!

For those of you who haven't heard, Spice Girls are back!

The video above is their latest single called "Headlines" and I must say that they have all grown so much, one can hear that on their voices for example.

Besides most of them have their own families now and one or two children so they have become young and modern mothers with a super career!

I love them and I always will, they have been my idols since I was a young girl. Enjoy the video!

What date is it today?

A stream of light hits my eyes as I am lying in my bed fast asleep. With a troubled face I am forced to open my eyes. I turn my head towards the window to find out what has waken me so early on this Monday morning.

I pull the venetian blind cord and look outside when my eyes meet a magical sight. Our lawn is covered by a thick layer of newly-fallen snow.

My big eyes smile like any child does when he/she discovers something that amazes them. For I am speechless. Suddenly my troubled face is gone and all that is left is an enthusiastic and surprised face.

When the sunlight hits our garden, all the trees and their tree branches glow with such a beautiful sparkling light. A sudden silence appears inside my mind. One must enjoy moments like these when nature decides to show us the magic that it can do. For this time it took my breath away.

I glimpse at my calendar on the opposite wall of my room to see what date it is. Of course, how could I forget?

When my mind finally figures out that it is Christmas morning my ears hear the sound of small feet running above my head. It is my youngest brother who runs down the stairs to wake up the rest of the house and to let them know that it is Christmas.

Suddenly everything goes black in front of me. The magic sight of our garden is gone, the sound of happy feet is also gone and I lay here all alone.

I open up my eyes, confused from what just happened and stare at the calendar once more. Today is not christmas. No not yet. This was just another dream. For it is still about one month left.

I really do long for Christmas as you can see.

She looks like an Angel.

I adore this picture of Mary-Kate Olsen. She looks like an Angel! Unlike most of the other pictures we've seen of her and her twin Ashley she actually smiles on this photo.

Still I can imagine the frustration all the celebs must have when they have all the paparazzis around them 24/7.

Anyway the Olsens will always be two young women who's style will influence thousands of young girls all over the world. I am one of them! :)

Yesterday's evening was fun!

I really do love Fridays. The only day of the week when I actually can feel the freedom!

Like I wrote yesterday my friends and I went out dancing and I didn't come home until 3 AM in the morning.. So yesterday's evening was fun! Thank you girls for the excellent company!

Anyway I haven't been able to do that much yet but we'll see what happens during the day.

I think some friends might come over later this afternoon and we'll watch a movie or something, just relax and rest after the crazy night we had yesterday :)
Have a great day!

Picture: Chloé

Finally! It's Friday! Hurray! :)

I woke up early around 7 AM I think it was and I've been cleaning for about 2 hours now. Feels so good to have it done before the weekend so that I can relax and spend more time with family and friends during Saturday and Sunday.

I know that this picture has been seen a lot in different fashion blogs during this autumn, but I just can't help it but I simply had to post it! I love the outfits not to mention the gorgeous models!

If I would have coloured my hair it would be the same colour as Freja Beha Erichsen (the woman wearing a green fur with brown hair) I simply love her colour! But I changed my mind, I don't think I want to do that. Because if I would I would never be able to get my "blond" hair again, at least not as natural as I have it now.

Enough talking about hair! :) I think it's time for lunch!

May you all have a great Friday!

P.S I'm waiting for a special packet that will arrive at 5 PM today.. What can that be? Well if you'll get back to my blog later this afternoon you will find out! :) D.S

All the answers to my questions, I have to find.

Why does it have to be so hard? I wish I could open up your eyes and let you see what I still feel inside of me. I have tried to write it down on a piece of paper, post-its I even tried to formulate it on a card. I never thought it would be so hard.

Every other day when I talk to you through the internet I miss you more than ever. The thought of having you around, like it was before, when you were near, it took away all my fears. I just can't give up the thought of you coming back some day, I will not forget it, not today, not tomorrow, never.

What will happen now? Will we end up being nothing more than just friends? I just don't want to loose you but I don't know what to do. So please do tell me how?

I miss your charming smile. I miss those deep blue eyes. I just wish we could meet somehow. If only it could be some day soon. If only you would have been here now.

Me playing "Josefins Dopvals"

Some of you might now that I love to sing but another of my great passions in life is to play this instrument (as seen on the video above) called "Nyckelharpa" in Swedish and I believe that the English translation for it is "Keyfiddle".

Anyway this is me while I'm playing the song "Josefins Dopvals" Let me know what you think of it! :)

If you want to try and search for this video on youtube you can try it by using the words; nyckelharpa, "Josefins Dopvals" or music.

Headache.

I don't know why but I simply couldn't sleep last night. On top of that I woke up with an aching headache this morning.

Good morning sunshine! Oh whatever.

Sorry if I'm acting a bit grumpy but I think I have a good reason to be in this mood. (As stated above)

Anyway concidering how I'm feeling many of today's plans had to be cancelled. So I guess I will remain indoors today.

Once again my room looks like a dumpster! Clothes, magazines, papers, water bottles and a few other things are all over the place. Panic!

I really need to clean up before my dad gets home otherwise he'll go crazy.. Anyway I hope you will all have a good day!

I want Friday.

Picture: DeviantArt

I can't believe it's Wednesday.. For some strange reason it feels like Thursday? Something went really wrong when I woke up this morning and I don't know what.

Anyway I've got some big plans for the weekend! Party with my girls on Friday (I've been thinking about it all week! Yay! We're going to have so much fun!) And Saturday and Sunday will probably end up at home watching a movie with the family or just studying..

Big no no to that. But the truth is that I've got a big maths test coming up so, I guess I have no choice than to study.

My main point with this post is that I really want it to be Friday! I really feel like dancing, it's been a while.

What are your plans for the weekend?

I'm feeling Relaxed.

I've felt so relaxed throughout the evening. I took a hot shower and did some scrubbing to rinse off old skin and added some bodylotion afterwards.

I felt like a new person! Oh I really do love to add a little extra luxury during the week, it can be anything from buying something that would cost a bit more or just take a long shower and scrubb, like I did today! :)

Anyway I also watched Desperate Housewives with my brother and mother, I wish they could send new episodes every day!! In my dreams.

Talking about dreams, I am feeling really tired now so I guess this is good night! Sleep tight.

Sienna Miller.

Wow, I really like this picture and I must say that Sienna Miller looks gorgeous in her outfit!

Now that Christmas is around the block and it's been snowing for a couple of days I think I better go out and find some sort of hat to wear while being outdoors.

I would love to find something similar to the one Sienna is wearing! It's adorable.

Besides that she's wearing the most comfortable shoes ever, the Uggs! I have to find a black pair too.

On top of everything she has a cute sweater, love the colour!

Oh dear, how will I be able to pay for all of this.. Santa! Where are you? :)

I live in a magic winter wonderland.

Hurray! Right this second I can see more snow coming down from the grey sky! I think it's going to be a good day today!

I don't know if I ever mentioned this before, but did you all know that I live in a magic winter wonderland? :)

All I'm missing now is a few ginger breads, a glass of milk and Santa Claus to come with some early christmas presents! Haha wishful thinking I guess.. :P

Anyway I hope you will all have a wonderful day!

Sugababes - About you now.

Before I say good night I just wanted to post this great new song that I have been listening to a lot lately!

Previously I haven't been a big fan of the Sugababes but I must say that this song can be a big hit! (Atleast I hope so! They have my vote)

So listen to it if you have a few minutes extra. Anyway time to go to sleep! Sweet dreams!

Boring.

I have so much maths to do. Besides everything else. I just can't help it but it's just so boring.

Anyway it needs to be taken care of tonight because I really don't want to miss Desperate Housewives tomorrow! I better get going. Have a great day/evening (depending on where you are in the globe!)

P.S I just realized, this post was not necessary.. But never mind, I will let it be published I hope you all don't mind. D.S

Today's inspiration.

Here she is. Today's inspiration. Her name is Anja Rubik and she is a well known model among designers.

The reason for why I choose her to be today's inspiration is because of her stylish make-up and choice of clothing. I must say that this is how I would look like if I had more money..

Well I have found my dream leather jacket now! Still I can't afford it yet but soon I will!

Anyway back to the make-up as seen on the first picture. I would say that it is quite "simple" yet classy with all the brown colours used on her eye shadow and the beige colour on her lips.

I bought a fantastic gloss from Helena Rubenstein when I was in Paris! (I will show you a picture of it later. Promise!) It reminds me of the colour Miss Rubik has on the picture.

Now to the clothing! As you already might have understood I love the leather piece she is wearing on the second picture! She looks g o r g e o u s!

Not to mention her classic outfit on the third picture with her white tee underneath that black suit! Fabulous.

She is definitely today's inspiration. What do you think?

Early morning.

I feel so sleepy, if only I could stay inside my bed for the entire day! Wishful thinking I guess.

Anyway I just ate breakfast and I'll be leaving in 30 minutes so I better get dressed!

It's so dark outside! It means that we're alomost there now.. Christmas is around the corner! I better run!

May you all have a great day!

Missing Link.

Picture: DeviantArt

I've been looking for a certain link. A missing link.

Without it I can not be complete. Without it anyone may defeat me.

I thought you had it but then you turned around. Suddenly I felt completely lost and the music I had heard inside my heart every time you were near had disappeared. I really do miss the lovely sound.

I'm still standing here looking for that certain link. Perhaps I should write you a letter, not an e-mail but a regular letter and this time it will be written with ink.

To be honest I do not know what I am hoping for. The thought of seeing you again is almost forgotten unlike before.

We could have been a great couple sharing love, friendship and commitment to one another. I guess I am over it now so there really is no point for you to bother.

It took me so long to figure out that you are not the person who has my missing link. I always thought it would be rapped up in a cute envelope in pink.

My searching must go on. I will continue until dawn.

Perhaps I will find it someday. Perhaps I will find it next Friday?

Another day is over.

Well, not yet but soon another day will be over.

I had a great time today, although I was really tired in the afternoon. Now on the other hand I don't feel sleepy?

Anyway tomorrow starts a brand new week filled with both fun and boring things that I need to do.

First up tomorrow morning I've got maths in town so I have to wake up early. I guess we'll see what the rest of the day will have to offer me.

Do you have any fun plans for the upcoming week?

Happy Father's Day!

Picture: Father and Daughter from DeviantArt

Today we celebrate a special day here in Sweden. It is a day when we celebrate all the fathers across our country! We also have a mother's day but that's later at a later date.

Anyway so what did I do today? Well since it was father's day we spent more time with my dad! During the morning we went to church after that we went home to eat lunch. We also gave my dad a few presents which he seemed to like which made us happy!

Later during the afternoon we also ate a delicious cake and talked for about two hours about everything.. Whatever subject we could think of. But the most important thing was to spend a little extra time together and with our father.

I don't know if other countries celebrates this type of tradition too? Perhaps they do. If not well I still suggest you to give your dad an extra warm hug today!

Anyway from me to all the fathers out there, may you all have a Happy Father's Day!

It all started with a dream.

The bitter cold cuts my heart into pieces when I step outdoors. Piece by piece falls down like autumn leaves and suddenly I can not feel any attractive force.

I close my eyes and I feel how the cool wind blows through my long hair. Something has changed, I can feel it in the air.

Small snowflakes start to fall down from the grey sky. I open my eyes and wish I could fly to the clouds up high. A place where I could think, a place where no one would ask me questions such as when, how or why.

Clouds would surround me and all the most beautiful angel songs that any ears would like to hear. It is not far away from here, I think it should be somewhere here.

A girl once sung that heaven is a place nearby. Somehow I don't find that to be a lie.

Inside each heart there is a special room filled with love, hope and many other things that can be found in heaven. I have known this since I was seven.

For during cold and dark days like these I close my eyes and dream about those magic angels that are looking out for us. If it was possible I would have visited them by taking the white bus.

It is not my time yet. I still have so many different people that I haven't met.

Somehow I was blessed by having such wonderful people around. My family and true friends you are all my beautiful angels.

For it is them who bring out the best in me, gives me inspiration, supports me, love me and it is for them I sing.

Boys Like Girls - On Top Of The World

Normally my younger brothers and I don't have the same taste when it comes to music. But there are occasions when we find artists/songs which we like.

The song "On Top Of The World" by Boys like Girls is a song I listened today, a song my brother had in his iPod. And I must say that I loved it! And not just this song, their latest album is soo good!

Anyway this song is my favourite so listen to it and let me know what you think about it. Enjoy!

P.S. This is my favourite part of the song;

"'Cause all the roads they lead to where you are.
And all the streetlights shine like they were stars.
That's where you are.

Let's spend tonight on top of the world.
And we can do anything,
We can be anything.
I'll meet you tonight on top of the world.
As real as it seems,
You're only in my dreams"

Sunny Saturday.

Guess if I was happy this morning when I woke up and saw the beautiful snowflakes falling down from the cloudy sky? Finally some Christmas spirit!

It had been snowing during the night as well so our garden was covered by a thin layer of sparkling snowflakes. It was beautiful!

Anyway we went to Ikea earlier today the entire family to look for a new chair to my brother (for his desk) and some other things for the kitchen etc.

I love visiting Ikea since you can get so much inspiration from all the different designers to your apartment/house. My favourite department is where you can find all the paintings. They have so many beautiful images taken by talented photographers.

I just looked outside my window and all I can see now is nothing but sunshine! It turned out to be a Sunny Saturday here. I hope you will all have a great morning/afternoon!

What perfume do you use during the day?

On my trip to France I bought a few products, among them this perfume from Sergio Tacchini called "Donna". I have used it before and I must say that this is a fresh and classic perfume which I use daily.

I would say that it is a bit sporty and for me it reminds me of the blue perfume from Ralph Lauren (I think almost all girls know which one I am talking about) with the exception that the RL perfume is perhaps a bit more "fruity" than this one.

Anyway I really recommend it to you all who are looking for a fresh perfume that you can use during the day.

Beautiful night.

It sure has been a beautiful night tonight.

I went to babysit two little girls and when I had finished and was on my way home it started to rain. I wasn't cold. All I could feel was the small raindrops on my face. And it's been raining like that the entire evening, even now when I'm writing this post I'm listening to the sound of the raindrops smashing towards my window.

It's really dark outside now. So what is this, winter? I mean where did autumn disappear? I miss it.

I read somewhere that it is only 47 days left.. To what? Christmas of course! I can't wait!

Anyway I will take all my Christmas wishes and dream about them tonight because I really need to get some sleep. May you all also have a good nights sleep!

Lunch with my girls.

Good morning! I hope you all slept well, I think I did.

In about one hour I will be on my way to meet up with E, one of my best friends to do some errands in town. Later on we will meet up with L, another of my best friends who I have known since I was 8 years old.

Together we are the fantastic "trio".

I love Destiny's child's song "Girls" so much because they all sing about the importance of having friends around you, I am so happy that I've got my girls. Love you!

Anyway I better take a shower now, may you all have a great day!

Cupcakes baked with love.

Yes that's what I ended up doing, lemon cupcakes baked with love. ♥

Anyway as some of you might have noticed I'm working on the layout for my blog, once again. Sorry for that but I think it's fun to have some changes if you know what I mean?

But I am really tired now so I'm off to bed! Sweet dreams, sleep tight!

P.S. I decided not to go to the big Roberto Cavalli campaign as I had written about previously. I looked at the clothes he made and none of them are interesting objects so, no thank you H&M. Why can't they have cooperations with other famous designers such as Ralph Lauren, Donna Karen, Marc Jacobs etc?

Grey's Anatomy.

I am completely exhausted. It's been such a long day and it feels like I've been busy all day.

Anyway I am really happy that it's Wednesday though, meaning Grey's Anatomy tonight! Yay!

But before that I promised my family to bake something for tonight, I have my moments when I want to do something extra for the people I love. I haven't decided what to do yet but I'll get back to you on that!

I hope you all had a good day! Take care I'll write more later.

You may call me.

You may call me a dreamer for believing in true love. But that's just who I am.

You may call me a fatalist because I truly believe in faith and the way things turn out to be meant to happen. But then again, this is something I have chosen to believe.

You may call me a cookie monster for loving all kinds of small cookies. But that's just one of many of my passions in life.

You may call me blondie because I sure do have my moments when I feel completely lost. But that's just a charming thing about me, that's what I'd like to think.

You may call me a nerd for there are times during holidays etc when I actually miss school and I long to get back. But that just a way for me to learn more and to meet up with friends.

You may call me any of the suggestions listed above. But then again will you do that?

Maybe you will, maybe you won't but I hope that my future husband, my life companion and soulmate will. The one and only, my true love.

I miss it.

Those who have been there know what I am talking about. I really miss everything in Taizé. The peace and quiet.

Being somewhere else where the heart can heal from old wounds. A place where people accept you the way you are.

The people living there are filled with harmony and love. I really miss it. I wish I could go back.. I want to go back. ♥

Feels like Monday.

I don't know why but I have the strange feeling that it is Monday today even though I know it is Tuesday?

Anyway I woke when I heard the sound of raindrops falling down outside my window. At first it was very cosy when I was covered of blankets and pillows and it was so warm but when I had to leave the bed the cold hit my body and I got goose flesh over my entire body! Brr, it was freezing.

So what have I done so far? I have eaten breakfast and I got stuck watching a sweet movie called "The perfect man" where Hillary Duff plays one of the main characters. So I guess one could say I started this day in a good way.

Wow I can't believe it's almost 11 AM? I better get started with the laundry and all of the other things I need to do today.

What's on your schedule for today? I hope you will all have a good day! Ciao!

A short clip about Taizé.

Unfortunately I couldn't film anything from Taizé since I had some difficulties with my camera but I found this short clip about Taizé on youtube and I think you should see this!

The song is called "Come To Me" and is sung by Trevor Thomson.

Maybe you will understand how much this trip really meant to me..

It's good to be back.

After a long day I finally found some time to write a few lines. I finished all the unpacking yesterday so I guess that I need to take care of the laundry tomorrow.

Even if it feels good to be back I really miss Taizé, Paris and all the lovely people we met there. Not to mention the beautiful songs we've been singing, the peace I felt inside my heart and the joy of helping others.

It moved me deep inside to see how the brothers living in Taizé can be so friendly towards all the people who come and visit them. It was a very special trip that I can say and I truly wish that I can visit them some time soon again.

Suddenly all the things I thought was important didn't seem that important. They reminded me of what is the true treasures in life; faith, hope and love.

Those of you who have been there know what I am talking about. The rest of you who haven't I strongly suggest you to go there. The experiences and all the other wonderful memories I created there I will keep close to my heart.
Taizé in my ♥ forever.

La France à mon coeur pour toujours. ♥

Here I am, standing in front of the "Cathédrale Notre Dame de Paris" and I must say that I really liked it there. The french culture, history, architecture, food and all of the other splendid things fascinated me so much that I am hoping that I will be able to visit Paris some day soon again.

The time we spent in Taizé was also wonderful. I have learnt so much from the brothers we met there and how their way of living their lives have affected thousands of people that has been in Taizé. I am happy that I could enjoy four lovely days there and one and a half in Paris.

I really need to get some sleep tonight since I couldn't sleep on the bus. I promise I will write more about my experiences in France the next couple of days. Now, it is time for bed. Good night to you all, may you all sleep tight!

For those who do not understand French, the headline means: "France in my heart forever. ♥"
For all the memories I created there during this last week will always be close to my heart. I will look back to my trip to France with a big smile. Happy that I had spent it with wonderful friends and having the chance of creating new ones as well.

On my way home.

My week down in France is going towards its end. I have met many new friends and experienced things I will never forget.

At this moment I am sitting on our bus on my way home. The long journey of 30 hours will soon be over and I will finally get home and the first thing I am going to do is to take a long hot shower.. Oh I can't wait!

Anyway I am really tired since I haven't been able to sleep that much during the busride so I will write more later tonight to tell you more about the wonderful things I have experienced. I hope you will have a great afternoon! /Sofia
