Hello! There’s something I’ve been thinking about recently. Usually when I go somewhere I write about the things I do, and mostly about my food experiences. But today I realized that I almost never write anything about my food experiences here in Stockholm, where I live. Those who are following my twitter might have seen some pictures now and then, but I thought I’d make an effort to actually write about some places today ^-^ So here goes! I’m going to write about some recent places where I went to for dinner. Some are a bit pricy and some not-so-pricy ~
All the pictures are taken with an iPhone, and edited with Instagram ^^
feel free to follow me there, Magicuu@Instagram

Hello. I just uploaded some random video clips from my recent trip to Tokyo ^-^ most of the clips are shot with my iPhone, so I’m sorry about the bad quality ^^; I need to use a video camera more often. but anyway, just thought I’d share~
I’m sorry I haven’t updated my blog for a while. I’ve just been so busy with school, work, and applying to art schools again. I’ll be sure to write about it soon ^^ And I know I’ve been posting a lot about Japan recently. ^^; I’m sorry. I just miss it… a friend showed me this video and I just had to share it~

Hello! I wrote in my earlier post from Tokyo that I was going to do a food post as well. So here it is! ^-^
I had so much delicious food. I don’t think I managed to take pictures of it all. But I did take a lot of food pictures! also, I played around a bit when I edited them so… I hope you don’t mind ^^;
On to the pictures! (lots of them) —v
Hello! I’m back from Tokyo.
I had such a wonderful time there! There’s so much I want to write about, but I don’t know where to start. I think I’ll just start posting some pictures and mostly let them speak for themselves ^^
On to the pictures! (lots of them) —v
Hello! I’m sorry I haven’t had time to update my blog for a while. I’ve ben super super busy (as usual..) But part of it is because I’m going to Tokyo tomorrow! I’m so excited. It’s been almost two years since my last visit, and I can’t wait to go back. It almost feels like going home.
Here are some things I’m really looking forward to:
Random pictures found on the internet hehe ^^ most of the food pictures I found on this tumblr blog.
Since I’m now living on a student budget I probably won’t be doing as much shopping as I did the last time I was there. But I’m mostly looking forward to just exploring the city and eat lots of delicious food and go out. And I’m only going to be there for 10 days so I’ll probably just stay in Tokyo City area. But someday I want to travel to other places in Japan as well. Such as Kyoto, Osaka, Hakone, and so on. And I really want to visit an Onsen (温泉) someday *_*
Another reason why I’m super busy is because I’ve recently started taking a distance course in Japanese (at Högskolan Dalarna). It seems like a great course and our teacher seems great, but it’s so hard ;__; I haven’t been studying japanese for like 3 years so I’m really falling behind. But I’ll do my best and hopefully it will be okay. ^^ Anyway. Hopefully I get the chance to update my blog when I’m in Tokyo, but if not I’ll be sure to take lots of pictures anyway so I can write about it later. ^-^
I hope everyone is having a great start of the new year. I sure am! Me, my boyfriend and two of our friends (who’re also a couple ♥) decided to begin the new year at Yasuragi. (it was me and Johan’s Christmas gift to each other) Best thing ever! You might remember that I wrote a short review about my earlier trip to Yasuragi in 2010. And this time we had a just as wonderful stay as back then.
it’s hard to believe it’s January. in Sweden the temperature is usually way below 0°c by now, and lots of snow. but not this winter. strange!
We ate at a different restaurant this time, so the food was a bit different than the last time I was at Yasuragi. But still delicious!
Also, um.. I’m kind of into this “retro” editing of photos lately. I hope you don’t mind ^^;;
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!
