KÆRESTE SKOVTUR, BARNEVOGN, GRAVID MAVE & HUNDENE



At gå lange ture ude i naturen har været en af Martins og mine yndlings beskæftigelser, lige siden vi mødte hinanden tilbage i 2013. I starten af vores forhold plejede Martin altid at køre os væk fra midt byen i hans gamle BMW; vi ville sidde og kigge ud over vandet eller gå rundt i skove, som han ofte havde besøgt med sine forældre.

I den sidste liste over mine '10 hverdagsglæder' nævnte jeg en smuk 5km gåtur blandt mark og skov, som ikke kun giver mig ny energi, men i den grad er blevet en stor del af, hvordan jeg forsøger at holde mig i form under min graviditet!


Nu hvor solen er tittet frem, byttede vi jakkerne ud med et kamera over skulderen og snappede lidt billeder undervejs.

Oskar har det med at løbe frem og tilbage, op og ned som en vild gummiged, mens Luna glad lunter afsted og stopper for at lugte til de mange dufte. Da Luna har nogle korte små kommode ben, foretrækker hun mange korte ture, så for ikke at anstrenge hende, har vi de sidste par gange slæbt en barnevogn med, hun kan tage pauser i.

Og hun elsker den!


At se Luna ligge lykkelig dér og tilfreds kigge ud, er simpelthen min nye yndlings ting! At se Martin trisse afsted med en barnevogn foran sig, er bestemt heller ikke ringe, og jeg glæder mig sådan til at have vores lille baby med.


Det er blevet lidt af en tradition at tage emnet 'baby navne' op, efter vi har gået halvvejs - mest er det mig der nævner en masse navne, og Martin der skyder dem ned... Det er altså ikke nemt for os, at finde på et navn til vores dreng. 

Presset om at vi begge skal elske det og at det skal passe til baby, laver en endeløs spiral.
(Der er mange navne, jeg elsker, men når jeg tænker på baby i maven, føles de ikke altid som ham)

POSITIVE GRAVIDITETS SYMPTOMER :: andet trimester


Mit evige behov for nedtælling er fuldstændig røget ud af vinduet; dagene og ugerne går simpelthen hurtigere, end jeg kan nå at følge med, og før jeg ved af det, står vi med vores helt egen baby i armene...

Selvom andet trimester ikke er 100% lutter røde roser, har det stadig været en langt mere fornøjelige oplevelse med så(!) mange spændende milesten sammenlignet med det frygtelige første trimester. Så det her er dedikeret til alle de positive graviditets symptomer!



Skinnende og aldrig-fedtet hår
Ligesiden jeg var teenager har jeg lidt af ekstrem fedtet hår. 
Fra at måtte vaske det hvér eneste morgen, til nu at kunne gå med det uvasket 
i adskillelige dage, er en absolut drøm der går i opfyldelse.



 Hurtigt voksende negle
Selvom mine negle generelt vokser hurtigt (begyndte efter jeg gik plantebaseret sidste forår!), 
er de fuldstændige umulige at holde trit med nu. Jeg har aldrig brudt mig om at have lange negle 
i min dagligdag, men hvis jeg lige får revet eller pillet en negl, er det bare så luksus, at den allerede 
to dage efter er vokset flot ud!


Større bryster
Som en hvis bryster stoppede med at vokse i samme øjeblik, som de startede, 
må jeg virkelig indrømme, at min nuværende forstørrede størrelse føles så godt. 
Ikke nok med jeg kan fylde min gamle BH størrelse ud - jeg har endda fyldt den næste 
størrelse ud også, og nyder mine nye former.


Bedre hud
De her graviditets hormoner har helt sikkert også haft drillet min akne, 
men fra midten af andet trimester, har mine hormoner og hud bare spillet sammen. 
Alle udbrud er helt stoppet og væk; min hud er blød og tilpas fugtig, og det føles bedre, 
end jeg kan beskrive det. Mine pigmentfarvninger fra gamle udbrud forsvinder ikke, 
men bare det at der ikke kommer nye, er det bedste der kunne ske mig.


Jeg syntes, jeg er blevet mere tålmodig i hverdagen og er blevet langt bedre til at leve i nuet frem for konstant at planlægge det næste. Jeg kan ikke udelukke mine hus-dagdrømme, men det at tiden går så hurtigt, tvinger mig bare til at leve nú - og det er sgu en dejlig følelse.

DET ANDET TRIMESTER :: DEL 1




Så mange gode ting er sket på det seneste (nogle store, nogle små), så jeg følte, at det var på tide at skrive endnu et indlæg, hvor jeg kan dokumentere dem og gemme dem sikkert.

Vi har jo fundet ud af, hvilket køn vores lille baby er, og jeg glæder mig sådan til at dele det snart - vi vil bare så gerne have taget nogle udendørs billeder, så det er lige et projekt i udvikling. Vi fandt ud af det allerede i slutningen af uge 16 (jeg er nu i slutningen af uge 20, eek!), så navnesnakken er nu snævret lidt ind og de første gaver til baby er allerede modtaget.

Lad gætteriet begynde :)


Men det som har været den aller største ting, er vores misdannelsesscanning, som vi lige har været til i sidste uge. En jordmoder praktikant deltog i scanningen, så vi fik ekstra skærm tid og kunne stirre på vores lille baby i en hel time. Undervejs lo de et par gange, og det var simpelthen fordi babys mål var så 'tekst-bog'-nære, at det ikke kunne være nemmere for praktikanten. Vi er meget stolte af vores lille levende væsen, som bare er lige efter bogen. (ta' den, alle der siger plantebaseret kost er dårligt, tænkte mor her da lige).

Med misdannelsesscanningen bag os betyder det nu også, at jeg er over halvvejs gennem graviditeten. Og hvordan skete det lige så hurtigt? Jeg spørger mig selv om det samme... Efter mit forfærdelige første trimester har alt lysnet op og det er en fryd at være gravid nu.


Sommerfugle spark, som de vist kaldes, er min yndlings ting pt - når baby vrikker rundt derinde og danner luft bobler i maven. Min moderkage ligger foran lige bagved navlen næsten, så det skulle tage lidt ekstra tid, før jeg mærker rigtige spark, men for at være ærlig; så langt tænker jeg ikke lige nu, ikke når den følelse jeg har er så vidunderlig. Hver ting til sin tid.

Apropro tid, så bruger vi tonsvis af den på stadig at kigge efter hus. Min standard og drømme har været nødt til at ændre sig en hel del, men mere om det en anden gang.. I øjeblikket, elsker jeg mit liv og det at bære rundt på et inde i mig.

Social Media Time Off?



Wauw, I cannot believe I've actually got new followers since last time I logged in on here. I've literally not been on blogger for at least a week and I have only been reading other people's posts if they've linked them on twitter. So the fact that people haven't deleted me or lost interest is so kind of you, thank you for following and not dumping me ♥

I don't have some smart or brilliant post up in my sleeve I just thought I'd pop in and tell everyone why I haven't really been on. (oh boy that sounds serious, but it's not!)

I'm not quite sure why but I've started to become so private which I've never been before. I've started to feel so uncomfortable about the internet. It scares me how much people can know about me without actually knowing me. I think it's great that so many people does it - don't get me wrong it's probably one of my top 3 favourite entertainments - but the thought of old friends or future employer's being able to find things about my life I wouldn't normally have shared with them is creeping me out


So for now I am definitely not feeling the blog-vibe which is so sad cause I had a week not too long ago where I planned so many blog posts.

I hope you will all be very understanding, I'm absolutely not deleting this blog, but I feel it's fair for everyone who's following it to know that it is not in my current plans. It may be another week, may be a month or even years, one just can never know. For now though, it's a little off of my schedule.

I do, however, use twitter and instagram quite a lot still. @Nannaemma is how you'll find me :)
Make sure to post your links on twitter, still love reading other people's blogs, but will only see them if they're on my timeline!

Lots of love and happy heart warming rays of sun
from me,
to you x

'A charming woman is a busy woman', wellll ;)



Oh hi!
I've been so busy this week, I have thought about it and wanted to blog every single day this week, but everytime I had some time to just do nothing I literally just wanted to do nothing. So though I never say 'sorry for not blogging' because to me you should never feel pressured to blog by others, but this time I actually am sorry for not blogging, 'cause I've been wanting to so badly :(

Since my last post I have quit my café job in the city. It took me two hours to drive which was far too much not only because of lost time but because my car swallows gas like it's liquid chocolate and that's really not something that makes my bank account go 'hurra!'. Also because of some other things that wouldn't be cool to mention on the internet.

Instead I've found something else to do in my own town for the next 4 weeks. It's an 8-15 job which is surprisingly nice. I haven't had a normal everyday life since I went to school last summer so getting up early and coming home tired with still lots of day left is just - lovely.
After those 4 weeks I'll be starting a small school project that will help me get an internship for my education which I'll start in August.
The future is slowly but surely beginning to look a lot brighter so I am one happy Nanna Emma. (I sincerely hope you English folks do not read that as grandma Emma, haha)

I've been planning a handful of new posts in my head these past few days, so I'm rather excited about writing them sometime this weekend.

Lastly, a big thank you to my new readers and to those of you who've commented my posts while I've been passive.
Please come back soon, and please enjoy this beautiful picture I snapped with my iPhone whilst being out today. Isn't Denmark gorgeous?

5 basics of my daily life


Though this is a personal 'life blog' and I've written too many facts about myself for all of you to read here, I still do not feel like you know me and my life very well. I'm sharing what happens in my life on a daily basis.
Lblogs are my favourite blogs; partly because I find it inspiring reading about other peoples ups and downs and relating to them or perhaps discovering good advice and partly because I'm just secretly nosy.
What I have always wanted to do with this blog is  to cover my need for occasional internet babbling and to write and emit in my own blog all of those things I like the most about other blogs. In a non-copy-cat way, of course.

I know Rosie leads a spiffing life with dear Ted and Jason and has nearly finished uni, I know Kizzy has two amazing daugthers and a wonderful like for art and adventure and I know Charlotte has the best kind of quirky relationship with her boyfriend Luke. 
But I've never expressed much about the people in my life or even what I'm currently doing to pass my days (besides being cosy on the sofa with a book or a movie).

So here's 5 very basics of my daily life:
- I live with my mum, stepdad and dog. My dog is called Smuth (pronounced Smoot) and he is a pretty darn big part of my life. Pretty darn big. You might have seen him on instagram from time to time :)

- I am applying for a few educations atm, all of them being very creative. So far it's Graphic Designer, Multimedia Graphic Designer and Theather Technician.

- I recently got a job at a café in my birthtown which is one hour car ride away from my current home. 

- I am indeed a single pringle with no need to mingle.

- My sister lives in Switzerland so I don't get to see her very often but my dad lives just an hour away so I visit him whenever I want to.

May this be that start to an exciting telling of the daily life of Nanna Emma :)

Happy Easter ♥

Snuggled up on the sofa at 11:30am wearing my pj's and scruffy morning face. The fireplace is lit bringing warmth to this cold and sadly snowing Spring day. I've got my chocolate easter egg on my lap and the Holiday on the telly, one of my all time favourite films. Mum and grandma are sitting at the table behind me doing cross words having a little chat which I'll from time to time join in on while watching the film.

Being reminded that sometimes the best moments in life are the simple ones. Like having chocolate, tea and family.

Feeling much better

Hello everyone,
as you may know I haven't been feeling  well lately and yesterday was probably the worst day out of them all, but I woke up this morning (2 hours before my alarm clock as usual, what's with that?!) feeling loads better. I feel like I'm jixing it by saying that, since that is what happened last Friday and I got sick Saturday morning, but I believe it's better to be positive about it and hope for the best :)

Here's a little,

Weather update:
It was looking so nice, the sun was out all the time and you could actually walk around without your coat but somehow the weekend decided to change it all and bring back the snow. The weather's so crazy!

Book update:
I have been reading Emma by Jane Austen or more likely been trying to read it. Unfortunately I'm not really feeling it at the moment which is very sad as I've heard lovely things about it. Perhaps I'll enjoy it more later on in my life, but for now I have put it back on the shelf and am therefore book-less.
So I was wondering if you could recommend a fantastic book?

28. februar 2013

I'm not all smiles and sunshine (my negative traits)

Last Sunday a little part of the blogger community had it's usual Sunday chat under the #lblogger hashtag and the topic was somthing about being truthful on your blog, whether you're showing your true self or kind of sugar coating everything a bit to make it seem more dazzling. I found that really interesting, people came with some very honest answers and it instantly had me thinking: am I portraying a rose tinted version of my own life on the web?

I would like to say a big no but it's a little bit more complicated than that. Everything I put on this blog is 100% truthfully me and no one else, however, it is definitely different to the person most people meet in real life. I write what I think here (at least I try to, still missing a few words and phrases from time to time since English isn't my first language) but I don't speak what I think. Does that make sense to you?

Obviously I like to highlight the good in my life, not for anybody else to think better of me, but so I can take a step back and really fully enjoy what I have in my life. Like the '10 things that made me happy this week' post that's going a bit around on several blogs - it's not because we're showing off with all the greatness that happens in our lifes - at least not for me - it's to appreciate the small things and perhaps make other people aware of them as well.

But without all the negatives (though I have written a few non-happy posts) I may seem a little too happy-go-lucky sometimes and I'd like to give you an insight into the real me. Please don't think of me as someone who instantly jumps out of bed in the morning singing and smiling ready for the day, someone who emits positive energy 24/7 and who does no harm to noone. (If you even ever thought of me like that) Cause as lovely as that would be, it's just not real, and it's definitely not 'the whole' me.


Here's some of my bad personality traits you probably didn't know about:
I'm very inconsistent, I change my mind so fast sometimes that it's impossible to keep up with me. You cannot consider me predictable or even always count on me if we've made plans. Unless you have me saying "I promise" cause I don't ever break my promises.

Another thing is that I'm deeply obessesive. Not dangerously obsessive as in 'obsessive relationships' but if I find something I like for instance a band, a book, a movie, some kind of food etc. I get obsessive about it until it either 1) get's old and bores me or 2) something new pops up. I will inclose myself into the little world for a long while.

I'm also a jealous person, not as much as I used to be though, at one point in my life it was really hard for me not being all of my friends 1st choice or BEST friend. But jealous is still on my traits list though I can't give an example right now.

Whenever I have to do something I've never done on my own before I get extremely nervous. Like nervous-I'm-going-to-be-sick. If I'm going somewhere I haven't been or if I have to perform my best at an exam or in an attention-filled situation I get very uneasy, almost anxious. 

One thing I really dislike and think is so uncool is sarcastic people and unfortunately - I'm one of them. There's hardly anything worse than having a sarcastic remark thrown at you and I really want to work on this in myself. I'm only sarcastic if I'm in a bad mood though. At least I think so.

And the last one I can think of right now is that I'm lacking in confidence. I'm terribly insecure about my looks and it's really the one thing holding me back the most in life.

Survived 48 hours without internet

Photo by PeaceLoveSun
A quick message to say I am alive and I'm swell but I still can't sing as well as Adele :) 
I bet there's one or two of you out there who had some sceptical thoughts about my little 'no internet' project but it turned out juuust fine. 

I picked up Emma by Jane Austen - have always wanted to read that book for two reasons 1) the name Emma - it's my favourite name, 2) my friend once said I reminded so much of Emma. Or was it that Emma's love interest was well suited for me? I don't remember I'm afraid but I guess I'll find out.

I also started the planning of my online portfolio - if you didn't know I make designs and take photographs in my spare time and I'd love to work on a magazine. 

Nothing major happened but that was exactly what I needed, a break from the busy life of the internet and some quiet and calm with a book and a cup of tea. That's time well spent to me. (on a roll with the rhyming today!)
I will definitely be banning internet for a few days again in the future, it's very freeing and I officially recommend it.

Will be reading everyone's blogs tonight but first I have some tasty sushi to devour ;) Mhmm

ps. I've lready got a post for tomorrow - have decided to write a small book review each time I've finished a book - outfit posts are on it's waaay - & happy Wednesday


24. februar 2013

No twitter, facebook, instagram, blog or tumblr?


I hope you've had a splendid weekend, had a chance to reload your batteries for Monday so you're prepared for another week of life :)

The highlights of my weekend was our family-blockbuster night and our massive Saturday feast!
Mum and I also played a boardgame which doesn't happen much these days with all this technology so that was very nice in particular :) 

Something I've thought about this weekend is what do I actually spend my time on? I had a big think and realized that I don't do much with my days and what a terrible waste of life that is. 
Apart from a little cleaning and a walk or two with my dog, all I do is  check my phone and computer constantly... It saddens me just thinking about how obsessed I am with Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, and all the other stupid addictive kerfuffle there is online.

So I've decided to take a break from it all and use my time more wisely on things that nurtures my soul. I haven't quite decided what that could be but I'm sure I'll figure something out as soon as the computer and phone is banned. Perhaps a walk in the forrest or a little reading? Haven't done that in a while, and I have some Jane Austen I bought in London but never got around to. Endless of possibilities, I mean, the internet is less than 30 years old, people obviously had other things to do back then! Right?

I'm not brave enough to go for a whole week so I'll start off with 48 hours with no internet. I am so scared that I won't be able to go phone&computer-less but I'm determined to do it - otherwise I'll be so disappointed and even a little digusted with myself. (harsh words!)

In the mean time I'll probably scribble down a post of 'What to do for 48 hours with no internet' - haha. 
All I have left to say now is to have a wonderful Monday and Tuesday everyone who's reading this, already excited to catch up with all your blogs and photos on Wednesday


23. februar 2013

Instagram update

In a completely random order:
1. Birthday cake - 2. My dog, Smuth, playing royal - 3. A little cheeky 'souvenir' from Jamie's Italian in Canary Wharf
4. Sneak Saturday - 5. Mirror mirror, on the wall... - 6. Girls night with old friends
7. Goofy aka Smuth - 8. Banana on ryebread, a favourite - 9. Utter bliss - sofa & fireplace
10. I was cold to the bone - 11. Blueberries, mhmm - 12. Funny faces while waiting for food


Instagram is one of my obsessions, I love it oh so much and I check it so much that I often have to restrain myself from bombarding my followers with pictures. Mine's @nannaemma what's yours? x



20. februar 2013

Ready for action!


So these past few days I've actually gotten my bum off of the sofa and a little out and about. About time, yeah? (if only you knew how much time I've spent on the sofa this month. We've become very dear pals)
There's a massive lack of jobs in Denmark these days so it's really hard to get one but obviously it's  harder if you don't even try... So I've applied for about 10-15! Which is a start. I've also been to a few open houses to some schools I'd like to attend just to get an idea of what they have to offer and which ones I'd prefer. 
After spending two months of hardly doing anything I'm really ready to just work my ass off and make a living for myself! It's sort of as though my life's been on standby recently, so I'm eager and ready to turn it on once again :)

Plus side of being out of job:
- I can nap whenever I feel like it
- I get to watch as many films as you'd like
- it's alright if I don't shower and stay in my pjs for a few days... as long as I'm staying out of the public eye
- I get to spend all day with my baby dog and see my family more often
- I can do most of the housework so mum can come home an relax

Downside of being out of job:
- I lose track of time. 'Is it Tuesday or Thursday?'
- I eat when I'm bored and therefore am ruining my plan of losing weight
- Life starts to feel a little meaningless
- I have no money at all so I can't really do much

I bet there'll be lots more blogging once I get going again - after all, you've gotta have something to blog about! 
Hope your week has been lovely so far x

ps. did you watch the Brits? (being the sucker for all things British that I am obv I did) I really wish Adele had been there(her little certain finger action last year was missed). I found it so funny how they filmed Harry while Taylor was on stage (celebrities are like one big drama novel).

Things I'll do more often

Say hello and give a smile to a stranger
Put flowers and bows in my hair
Wear colours

13. februar 2013

I'm not you, no that would be disastrous

I have had a few (slightly emberassing, might I add) attempts at doing outfit posts before but it never really came out the way I imagined. I think I wished to copy and look like all the millions of other succesfull fashion bloggers there are out there and one thing I have never been good at is pretending to be someone else. And therefore I was doomed to fail.

Warning: soppy babble coming on!
As, unfortunately, a lot of other girls, being confident with how I look and actually liking my own body has never been something to file under my 'easy'-category. Especially when I was in my mid-teens. It's been a truly tough battle with lots of tears and horrible thoughts about myself which has led to a lot of parties and social gatherings, that I simply did not have the confidence to attend. I won't go into details about what it's meant for my life, but it has definitely created a lack of a lot of teenage-experiences one should have.
The battle is thankfully not to that extent any longer nor is it over, and though I hope with all of my heart it one day will be, I have a feeling that there will always be small wars here and there to be fought throughout my entire life. And I suppose that's alright, cause what is light without darkness?

Today I'm far better at appreciating myself but it does take a little makeup and the right kind of clothes to label me 'confident in public'. It gets easier as I grow older and wiser (sounds like a wizard), and I've educated myself in eating clean for the past few years and have gotten much better at embracing my body and realizing things such as "it's the only one you've got, so work with it", "it's the flaws that makes you beautiful" and "it's the best tool you'll ever get in life, the one that brings you sight, sound, feelings, taste, movement and dreaming".

So if you, yes lovely you reading this, has ever dealt or are dealing with low-confidence, believe not that you are the only one, cause I am here and know first-hand what it's like. Just remember; what you don't like about your looks, someone else might truly love. And there is a 98% chance that the things you hate and focus on on daily basis is something that's never even crossed anyone else's mind! x

Phew, that was a little deep and not planned. But with all that being said, here's what I wore today ;)

I've had such a bother finding a suitable spot for these pictures. I'm using my timer as I'm such a shy camera mouse and cannot imagine being comfortable infront of the lense anytime soon - especially if there's someone on the other side pressing the button; I'm a photographer not a model!

I paired this simple black skirt with a colorful pastel top and topped it with a big ring to bring a little life to it.
I'm actually not a big fan of jewellery, I like outfits as simple as possible, but my sister gave me this ring for Christmas, and it's got such lovely colors in it, that I can't help but love to wear it.
This outfit was worn for a completely normal day. Usually I'd wear jeans or leggins with a boring top for daily wear, but this top is new, and new clothes needs to be worn asap ;)
I think this outfit can be worn for pretty much anything though; cute for a date, girl's night, day at the office, family gathering or whatever you have in mind!

Have a brilliant rest of your day

Mornin' & afternoon joys


Today I've been;

reading Erica's and Rosie's blog - two lovely lovely girls and their blogs makes me happy :)

watching Radio - a movie based on a true story. Very inspiring, very heart-warming.read plot here.

listening to "Life's for the Living" by Passenger - amazing artist, he's in Copenhagen today and I'm terribly sad I can't go. Saw him last year and it was bliss. Amazing voice, listen here.

eating leftovers from yesterday and lots of carrot and red peper.

looking at airplane tickets and London hotels. Want to take mum to London as soon as I can. A real girls trip in my favourite city.

napping with this little darling in the pictures above. Cuddling and snoring, I believe that is the life :) 

drinking hot berry lemonade. Honestly try it! Promise it's not bad ;)

10 things that have made me happy ♥

Adore this sign I found while visiting a tea shop with my best friend! Such truth :-)
1. Having a late night bed-talk with my mum and grandma. It was so lovely, all three of us in the same bedroom just having a chat about everything and nothing. So lovely, it made me very happy.

2. Feeling completely free while driving my car blasting One Direction. It's the best.

3. My morning routine; wake up, cuddle Smuth, put on slippers, bring duvet into living room, watch Smuth steal all of the duvet and sofa space (amazing how much a small dog can fill), make breakfast, eat breakfast while reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

4. Last Friday when you could actually smell Spring in the air :)

5. Baking and decorating cupcakes for my family. Love being creative!

6. Spending a full day with one of my best friends. Lots of eating, driving, film-watching, tea and crazy dancing.

7. Re-reading my post about my visit to the Harry Potter Studios. It was utterly amazing and I'm so glad I wrote about it and took pictures (all though my camera died so I missed the best part at the end :( )

8. Getting a phone call from my sis (who's currently spending two weeks in Thailand with our dad, stepmom and stepsisters) telling me she misses me and wishes I was there It's nice to be missed.

9. Doing exercise in the evening with mum and ending it with serveral high fives every time.

10. Eating lots and lots of melon - it's my absolute favourite food/fruit in the world and I can't imagine ever getting tired of it. My favourites are canary or cantaloupe ;)

Why I left London



It's now been over one month since I left London and I have since then been getting a lot of questions as to why I left the wonderful big city. The answer is quite simple really: unfortunately my 80 year old grandma became quite ill over Christmas and her being a very important person in my life - practically a second mum - I knew in my heart that I had to be home and near her. 
It isn't because I didn't want to be there; it's just that I'd rather be home at that time.

So will I ever return to London? Oh how I really sincerely hope so! I've had such a spiffing time over there. That city has got me under it's spell and there's too many things I haven't gotten to do over there. Though serving Rita Ora coffee at my first day of work, visiting the Harry Potter studio and spotting Harry Styles in Hampstead can be checked off of my list, there's still friendships I want to envolve, work experience I'm dying to get, bloggers I want to meet, and not to mention lots of carrot cake I can't seem to get enough of. 

I wish I could just order a plaine ticket right this moment and move me and my entire family over there. But wishful thinking doesn't get me no where. Moving to London and living there is quite expensive and as I currently don't have an income my returning seems quite unpromising at the moment. 

If any of my lovely British readers have any idea of how to get an internship or anything in the direction, please slip me a message or comment! 

I'd so love to go back this year.

8 things that helps me pass my days


Being home all the time can drive you a little crazy sometimes so I've had to take up some old and new hobbies (other than doing house chores everyday) in order to keep myself busy;

- knitting; I started knitting a scarf last summer but never got around to finishing it, so now that I've currently got plenty of time on my hands, I've decided to finish what I started! I can always wear it next Winter...

- 30 day shred; you've probably heard of this challenge before, it's a 20-30 minute workout that you have to do each day for at least 30 days and you'll see great change in your body. It's really hard for me to work out each day, it's just such a bore. But this intense and rather short workout seems mangable enough to get through. I've started this before, but as most other projects I start, I never finished it. But now's the time. Even got my mum to do it with me!

- The Carrie Diaries; being a huuuge fan of tv-series, I obviously had to adopt a new series into my dull life. Sex & the City was always fun to watch but I was never a massive fan; this show however (Carrie Bradshaw as a teen) has taken me by storm. Absolutely love the charachter's, they're so natural and I have to admit I quite fancy Austin Butler who plays Carrie's love interest...

- Grocery shopping; since I got my own car it's been so easy getting around and I've been going grocery shopping 5 out of 7 days the last few weeks. Even if it's just an extra carton of yoghurt we need or if we're nearly out of dog treats - I'll go! Suppose it's not really a hobby but it might as well be considering how often I do it.

- Online games; The Wizard of Oz on facebook - addicted. Mum and friend is playing it as well, I've got to beat them! Virtual Families 2 on iPhone - annoyingly addictive. You have to build a family and their dream home, but their time works the same as our time, so it literally takes forever.
I've been playing these while waiting in the queue when grocery shopping! (multitasking)

- Reading Harry Potter; after I visited the Harry Potter studios and bought the whole book series (although I already owned them) I got completely obsessed with them once again and even read 1-5 in less than a month! After I came home to Denmark again though I forgot about them but I've taken them down from the shelves again and has now started number 6. Always makes me happy when reading these. Must never stop reading them.

- Cooking; is soothing, fun and the best part is eating it! I've loved cooking for a really long time now, but being home a lot gives me the opportunity to cook every single meal of the day. It's rather satisfying cooking everything you eat!

Throwback Tuesday

An old picture of my grandpa and myself at my birthday. I believe I was around 2 years old but I canhonestly never tell such things so don't hang me up on anything. We lost my grandpa when I was just 5 years old so I never really grew up with him. I have some very dear memories of him though and I'll treasure them forever. A big, nice and humorous man he was. I'm taking good care of my grandma for him.
