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.
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.

So what is the deal with all this Essie babble? I've noticed that Essie has become quite a large thing and ashamed to say so but I've just started paying attention to the Essie talk. I've found quite a few lovely colors on their website but can't seem to find them in the stores. The ones I did find in the stores, and the ones that did tickle my fancy were two pastille colors named Lilicism and Turquoise & Caicos. To review Essie I must agree with other reviews that I've read, it is definitely worth the money. I love the variety of colors that they offer, they all seem to suit a certain personality. As for the actual nail polish, the moment it is applied it gives a smooth and gorgeous appearance. I will definitely be buying more because so far it exceeded my expectations. So I must say, I'm glad that the Essie babble forced me to try it out myself. If any of you have joined the Essie fan club, which color is your love at the moment?
I've been wrapped up in packing everything I own as well as throwing out almost everything I own that I realized how empty my new room will be because of the excessive cleaning. So I headed over to IKEA, the pride of Sweden and had my eye set on a clothes rack called Mulig (which means chubby in Swedish!). After schlepping it over to the new house and setting it up I got to thinking that now I'll need some new things to hang on there! Typical thought from me but seeing as I've gotten rid of so many things I would not mind seeing some new fabrics being welcomed into my closet. To review this rack, I must say I find it quite nifty, its easy to find what you're looking for if you're in a hurry and I like that it has a minimalist feeling to it. I'm, however, not planning on putting all my clothes on it as it will probably collapse and will be unusable but it's a neat idea to store pieces of clothing that may brighten up your room or that you find special. Only about a week left till the move and I can't wait, living around boxes definitely takes away the homey feeling. Hope you've all had a good weekend.

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!
