Winter Wonderland

10:20 / BY Karin
I found myself having some trouble sleeping; I wake up few times at night, and even if I go to bed at 1am, I always wake up at 8am or 9am! Which resolves in taking numerous naps throughout the day.  I've been so obsessed with this app called Village Families 2, is anyone playing it? Anyhow, I woke up today at around 8am, and the first thing I did, was checking how my little people...

What I got for Christmas

12:52 / BY Karin
Do you ever wake up thinking,"This is going to be my day!" ? Well, this is how I woke up today. I think that apologising for not-posting-and-being-active-on-my-blog became more a habit than a nice gesture. I've been so busy; I had 9 exams this month and I was studying 24/7. If I think about it, school stole the whole magical thing and the feeling you get when you realise it's December. I barely watched three...

Christmas Wish List

12:45 / BY Karin
Hello darlings! I can't believe it's already December! I already put up lights in my room and christmas decorations, and I also bought tons of tea to keep me warm! But sadly, it isn't snowing in my country (just yet). I'm already listening to various christmas songs - 1950's, pop, french...and I'm also about to have a Christmas movie marathon. I was thinking about how Christmas felt when I was younger and how it feels...

how i spent my sunday

18:54 / BY Karin
I decided to go for a walk at around 1pm with my dog, simply because I wasn't feeling the need of studying. We were walking on the same path as always, and it was very lovely, considering I only saw 2 other people! I took pictures because it was  foggy - everything looked a bit scary and mysterious. I'm not so sure what this graffiti means - sober?  How did you spend your Sunday? :)...

Books I'm Loving Right Now

18:56 / BY Karin
I realised that I never do home readings (do you have them in your country), and my excuse is simply one word: procrastination. Beside that, I usually find the books boring (there are exceptions, of course). So here's an update about my day: I had an english exam about book we were ordered to read (I'll present it below), I had an oral exam in History (all questions were connected to Frankish Empire/Kingdom of the...

November's Instagram & BLOG DESIGN

15:47 / BY Karin
Since I've been using Instagram quite a lot, I decided to tell you the stories behind the pictures. As you can see, the first picture(top left) is all about the selfies. I took tons of selfies on Saturday and I was feeling kinda fabulous with my makeup on and a cute sweater from a thrift shop. Me&my dad went to Michael Buble's concert on Thursday(November 6th), and I also took few pictures and quite a...

Sephora Eyeliner Review & Italy

13:02 / BY Karin
We were walking through the streets of Vicenza (Italy) last friday trying to find our meeting point. My class was supposed to visit Teatro Olimpico, but we learned that it opened at 2pm, which mean we had 2 hours completely to ourselves. Me and my friends went to a nearby cafe and ordered cappuccinos. On our way to find the perfect cafe, I stumbled upon a sign that suddenly made my day. SEPHORA. I was...

Things I Love

16:56 / BY Karin
When I woke up this morning, I kept thinking about things that I love, and not only the 'basic ones'. I also wasn't feeling very adventurous, even though I should do a makeup tutorial sometime soon. I know I promised many times that I'll post more, but combining school work, social life, watching movies and TV series, taking my dog out AND working out, makes it kinda hard. It would really mean so much if...

HOW TO: Get More Followers & Post More Often

16:45 / BY Karin
It's been ages since I've posted! To be honest, I've been lazy as well as I've been busy. Not to mention I wanted to pass all my tests in school AND wanting to keep a social life. Naturally, I had to neglect something. This time, the blog had to suffer. I have no idea how many followers I currently have, but even though I've been away for almost two weeks, you guys were actually constantly...

Monday's OOTD

15:26 / BY Karin
Excuse the happy face. I found this very cute sweater at Tally Weijll. It's just a simple black sweater that has 'Do You Want To Build A Snowman' written over it in a white colour (I didn't even try it before buying it, "Once a Frozen fan, always a Frozen fan.") I was wearing a basic black shirt under the sweater and some cute looking jeans I bought at C&A. Converse wouldn't be converse if...

MAKEUP SERIES: 3 eyeliners, 3 reviews.

14:46 / BY Karin
Despite the fact that I should've been studying for the past two days, I still procrastinate. I was working on blog design and basically creating things for the whole two days, so that meant that there is no time for going out and being social, not to mention to at least open a textbook or two. My favourite makeup product doesn't exist, and it took me a long time to come to the terms with...
