What's in my bag?

I am incredibly fond of "what's in my bag" posts. I have to admit that I am a massive fan of looking at what other people have in their bags, so I finally decided that I had to make my own. My bag contents have changed greatly since my days at school so now instead of carrying around massive history or math books, I've replaced it with the essentials of my every day life. I do change bags a lot, so at the moment I am lugging around a burgundy Pieces bag that I received for my birthday. It is absolutely perfect for me because I always manage to lose things inside of my bag and this bag has so many pockets that my losing of things has decreased. I used to use tote bags and well to find anything in there was almost impossible. 

Bus card & Driving tickets: Since my move from the center of town, a bus card was definitely needed. Our bus cards have been named "Jojo" for a reason that I do not know. And since I'm in the process of getting my drivers license, I am taking lessons which require these little coupons to keep track of how many lessons I've been taking. 

Wallet: This lovely burgundy find was bought at a second hand store for 5 krs (which is under 1 dollar). Inside it says its a Puccini, and I've never heard of the brand before but it is certainly a nifty wallet. 

Mini clutch: This blue, beaten up looking little purse I got years ago from Accessorize and I've always stored my first aid stuff in there. Someone always needs a band aid or a pain killer and this little purse always comes to the rescue. 

Earphones & rings: I am a music fanatic, I can't walk 5 minutes alone without putting in my head phones and listening to music. One of my greatest fears is to one day forget them and be forced to take the bus in silence. As for my rings, I carry them everywhere and wear them most of the time. Just become a bit of a habit. One is a sort of voodoo man that I bought at a flee market in Rome and the other is just a simple circular ring that I bought at a festival in my town. 

Clutch: This clutch stores pretty much everything that is loose in my bag. I have to clean it out every so often because it can get pretty overloaded with receipts. 

Iphone: I won't lie and say I'm not attached to my iPhone because I really am but it is mostly for the music aspect of it. And it is perfect for quick photo taking and of course, pinterest. 

Keys: Well just one key, to my house. I used to have a massive key chain with keys from unknown sources so I thought it best to just have the one key I use. Along with a mint green loopy key chain and a mini flashlight for finding that key hole when the outside lights haven't been switched on. 

Good Read: 100 Mistakes That Changed History by Bill Fawcett. I love History and pretty much all eras and centuries and this book manages to highlight and touch upon almost each era. It is a simple read and incredibly interesting, also perfect for the bus ride home. 

Lip balm / Lipstick: Winter in Sweden can get freezing, it is already starting to happen and once it gets cold, the easier chapped lips appear. So I trust my carmex lip balm for healing (it is perfect!) and my cotton candy lip smacker which is pretty much only there because it smells so scrumptious. I also carry my favorite lipstick with me which is a Spanish brand Kiko. 

Nail file: My essie nail file that is there when out of the blue you break a nail. I really don't use it very often but it brings comfort to me that someday when I am in dire of it, it will be there. 

So there it is, the contents of my bag, hope you enjoyed! 

One year older

 First of all I'd like to apologize for my lack of posting, there have been some personal issues but I'm back and I will certainly try to get back into constant posting. Second of all, today was my birthday. My eighteenth birthday to be exact. Which means I am now a legal adult, responsible for myself. And boy, I got to tell you I am super excited about it. Today has been a lovely day, woke up and was treated with some lemon meringue cake. Then proceeded to watch a favorite mini series of mine Mistrals Daughter, followed by a relaxing bath. I was then taken to dinner and my first legal drink which was a hoot and a half. A cosmopolitan, because being the huge SATC fan that I am, I guess I just had to try it. And it was scrumptious. I am so grateful for how kind my family and friends were and they made my day incredible. Next week I am heading off to Copenhagen with my closest friend for a day of shopping and a night of celebrating. I can't say my seventeenth year has been great but I am certain that with this new milestone, things will get better. Hope you are all doing wonderfully and I thought I'd share some snapshots from my day. Have a great week! 

Rainy Days

So these couple of days have been filled with autumn rain, wind and cold. Which means time to bring out the gloves, scarves and knitted hats! Which is definitely a reason to celebrate, at least for me, seeing as I absolutely adore autumn and winter. The unpacking is finally finished, the clothes are finally up which gives me time to focus on my next phase in life. I am in the process of applying to courses in Sweden and undergrad courses in England as well as trying to get my drivers license. So between sipping copious amounts of tea and trying to get my life in order, I'm desperately trying to get my blog up and running with continuous posts. So expect more of me! Also I'd like to introduce mon chat to my blog, Seth. Named after Seth from The OC - my sisters doing. Or Seffwa as I like to call him. 

By the Sea

 These past three days have been hectic to say the least. Moving is an incredibly long and at times tedious process. However, after a lot of work, the house is already starting to look like a home. My room is almost complete and I'm happy to see all my knick-knacks surrounding me. So after 3 days of hard work I decided to take a stroll around the new neighborhood, and lucky for me the house is incredibly close to the sea. My walk was filled with cold winds along with a beautiful view of the sun reflecting off the sea. I am a definite moving veteran, I've had to do this many a times in my 17 years and I can honestly say it does get easier with each move. The only tedious bit about it is the unpacking of the clothes. Oh! How I am putting off unpacking my clothes. Two boxes remain unpacked in my room and those are the once that contain the things I'd rather not unleash, just yet. Hope you've all had a pleasant weekend and as soon as I finish up my room I'll be sure to post some photos of my new home. 

Hugs all around

Wonderful Whiskers

There has been a lack of posting due to spending my last couple of days in Sweden saying goodbye to my boyfriend and getting ready for my move. There has also been an addition to my large cat family, the red one was given to me by my love and the kitten shall reside with him although I am the kittens true cat lady. On another note, I am now back home getting ready for a house move which means having to go through the mess in my room. The things not being packed away to follow with to the new house will need to go with me to my move to Paris. Which is happening in 5 days. Absolutely absurd. And I am absolutely terrified as well as super excited. But what exactly needs and can be packed in one suitcase when going away for 10 months? I have no clue, that is why this certain pack needs to be cleverly organized. And how on earth am I going to be able to fit all the cats.. as much as it pains me to write, I am going to have to leave them behind. Same goes for quite a lot of my shoes. Sigh. 

Hugs all around!
