Hello! So, today I’m taking a break from all my “healthy writing”. When I get off work I’m going to do some pilates, and then I’m actually going to go to a pub. That’s not part of my diet… ^^;; so I’m cheating a bit today.
Speaking of pilates… I’ve been adding some new prints and freebies to the TIFF shop ^_^ for example this wallpaper:

Hello again! So today I’m continuing my “healthy week”.
Today I’m going to focus on my workouts. I try to work out at least a little bit every day. For example I usually go for a run for about 2-3 kilometers at least 3 times a week. And it’s really fun to use the Runkeeper or IKEA Kondis apps I told you about earlier. And if you don’t like running you can always go for a walk instead. just walk a bit longer. ^^ Read more –v
Hi everyone! So, after being on vacation for 3 weeks and eating lots of delicious but not so healthy (see fried cheesecake..) food, I now want to to try a healthier diet. And since some of you have asked me about my diet earlier, I decided to share it with you!
This week I want to get back to the low GI-diet I did before summer. Although I’m not so “hardcore”, so I might cheat a bit. ^^;; Also, my goal with this diet is not to lose weight, but to be more healthy. And I’m not a vegetarian or anything, but this week I want to try to cut down on the meat and eat more vegetables, fish and chicken instead. Read more! –v
Hello again! so.. I’m still not done telling you about New York. ^^;; But this post will only be about things I bought there. Tehe :’D Since Manhattan is mostly filled with designers brands I didn’t do much clothes and shoe shopping. There are some cheaper alternatives of course, like Forever21, Century21, some floors at Macy’s, Strawberry, and some other stores. But some things that were really cheap (or at least cheaper than in Sweden) was accessories and make up~~
In Chinatown I found lots of nice gyaru-things. I bought some Dollywink eyelashes (and a case for them, because it was so cute ^^) and also decided to try a Palty haircolor. I haven’t tried it yet but I’ll give you an update on that when I do ^^ and I also bought some colored lenses. I’ve never tried lenses before, and I always felt it was such a big effort to order online (although it probably isn’t ^^;;) but now they were right in front of me and they were cheap so I decided to try. I still haven’t tried them on though. I know the brand is probably not very “gyaru” and I don’t even know if it’s any good but I think it will be a good first try for me ^^
There are a lot of beauty stores all over Chinatown, and they usually have both japanese, korean and chinese beauty supplies. I don’t remember all the names of the stores I walked in to, but I remember one named Kan Man on Canal Street 200, and The Penguin Shop not far from there. ^^
One expensive thing I did buy though was this wallet from Guess. Or, well, it wasn’t that expensive since it was only about $30. We have Guess in Sweden as well but it’s much more expensive. I think.. And the iPhone case I got from a Sunday street market on 6th Avenue ^^
Make-up is a lot cheaper in the US than in Sweden. I bought a lot from Forever21, but as I wrote about earlier Sephora has a big range of make-up and brands. I also bought some tanners and bronzers from Victoria’s Secret. As well as some nice panties ^^;;
And I bought lots of magazines at Kinokuniya (1073 Ave of the Americas). And lots of nails. because they are also cheaper in the US than in Sweden ^^;;
And of course, I bought A LOT of accessories. I don’t have pictures of all of it though ^^;; got most of my rings and necklaces from Forever21. And this nice belt from Claire’s (on Broadway), and a nice bag from Aldo (it was on sale ^^;;)
Hello again! So even though my last post about New York was kind of long, I still left many things out. There is just so much to write about! One thing I didn’t mention was all the amazing food we had. So this will be a food post!
Random photos from China Town.

Hi everyone! I’m finally back in Sweden after my 3 week vacation in the states. I already wrote about my trip to Dallas, so now I’m going to write about my time in New York City.
This was my first trip to New York (and the US for that matter) And there was so much to do and see, so this post will be very picture heavy!

Hi! So, I’m no longer in Dallas, but I thought I’d make a better update about my visit there. It was so much fun! but REALLY hot! most of the time it was around 95-105°F (35-40°C). I like heat, but thank god for AC. wouldn’t have survived without it. Okay, so, lots of pictures ahead!
