Rose Wanderlust

I was tagged by the beautiful, one and only, my friend from overseas, Lauryn from Elegant Chances.

Since I've promised her to post more often a hundred of times, I decided to finally post again! Basically, when you get nominated, you answer 11 questions and then you tag new people to do the challenge (bloggers who have under 1000 followers on twitter). So here we go!

1.What is your favourite meal of the day and why?

Definitely breakfast. I get up at 6am everyday during the week and I need to wake up! I've always loved breakfast, probably because it's the first meal in the day.

2. If you could sit down and have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would you choose and why?

Huh....difficult question. Either Kösem Sultan (the most powerful woman in Ottoman history),
Louis XIV of France, Shakespeare or James Dean. Weird combination, isn't it?

3. What is your favourite thing to blog about?

Traveling and art.

4. Where do you see yourself in seven years?

In seven years I'll be 25...that's when you're really, really an adult. I hope I'll be done with the university by then in Scotland and have a job. I guess I wish to be in a serious relationship by then? If If have a job, an appartement and enough money, I could see myself having a kid, too.

5. Using only three words, describe yourself.

Emotional, feminist, artistic.

6. What is one positive and negative thing about yourself? (Be honest!)

I'm very emotional, I tend to understand everything on a personal level. I overthink all the time and sometimes I cry over nothing, really. I don't get attached to other people fast, but if I do, I'm still pretty cautious because I think they'll hurt me. Sadly I lack empathy at times (which is weird!). So yeah, being emotional kinda sucks.

But being emotional can be good too! My friends tell me that I'm the person who always says the right thing when they're sad. I can make them smile or laugh within seconds.

7. If you could relive one day, which one would it be?

The day I got my dog, I think? It was shortly after my parents got divorced and I was emotionally broken at the time. I was 7 years old and I remember my aunt stepping into our appartement and handing me a big ball of white fur. I said: "What's that omg??" (I knew it was a dog, but I was just so excited!)

8. What is the story behind your blog name?

I liked Lilly Allen's song Fuck you. And I love Prada, the way that it's written and pronounced. Taa-daa!

9.) Do you have a significant other? If so, how did you meet?

I'm pretty happy with being single.

10. What are your 3 go to beauty products?

Mascara by Essence I love Extreme (my favourite mascara since the 7th grade), eyebrow pencil by Catrice and my Too Faced Chocolate bar eyeshadow palette.

11. What is your favorite hobby?

Once again, difficult question ahah!

I like watching historical tv shows & movies & reading historical books. I also like art - drawing, acting, dancing...you name it! I LOVE doing makeup and watching tutorials on youtube!

I tag all of my followers to do this! :)

I had been debating (in my head) for a long time if I should post this or not, but here it goes. After all, this is what I think and believe in and I can express my opinion without anyone's consent. Before you read this, I'm NOT saying you should do what I do. It clearly depends on what kind of a personality you have. If you're sarcastic, emotional and nice (preferably a Cancer)...you know how I feel.

First of all I'd like to say that I have never been a confident person. I always compared myself to others, seeking their approval. I would scream and yell at times, although I would usually back down. It's not all about confidence when you're fighting with people or just stating your beliefs. It's about not giving a damn and knowing when to ignore certain things. Something happened to me less than a month ago and that literally changed me. One single event. All I wish to tell you is that it had to do something with a 'friend'. Since then, I haven't been over-emotional and many things have happened which would usually upset me, but they didn't. Why? Because I learned how not to give a crap about irrelevant things and people. I'm confident enough to share 'my tips' with you guys...

1. If you have negative people in your life, REMOVE THEM. Try not to ignore them, simply push them into the background. If you're a "meaner" person, push them away as far as possible - they'll definitely notice. If you're a "nicer" person start pushing them away slowly, so they won't figure out it at first. Or you know, you can just say f-you, I don't need a Grinch in my life.

2. Channel your inner Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dog. As stupid as it sounds, that helped me a lot. You don't have to necessarily channel these two! When you're getting over-emotional, think about someone who is incredibly sassy and someone who is really, really calm. Try mixing those two together and what reaction they would have. For example: if someone's trying to pick a fight with me over a stupid thing, I'm speaking slowly and nicely, with a spark of sass (but don't insult).

3. You have to live with yourself 24/7. They don't. They can't read your mind or emotions. But you can! So learn how to make your feelings & mentality a priority.

4. Say what you think! Don't quiet down just because you think they'll disapprove of your opinion. It's good to be quiet at times, depending on the situation, though.

5. Don't compare yourself to others!!! We are all unique. I personally hate it when someone says to me "Be the better person. Stop fighting," uh, honey, no! You do you.

If you follow me on instagram, then you already know that I visited Sweden!
Me and my friend Ana visited Stockholm and we fell in love with it. We were there for four days, walking everyday for about 9 hours to get the best possible experience.

Stockholm's architecture reminds me of European's architecture - everything is old and lovely.
The city is actually built on many islands, so it's known as the Scandinavian version of Venice. I'd like to mention the hospitality and kindness! Every time me and Ana (apparently) looked lost, someone would notice us and asked us if we need any help. Shoutout to a random grandma who actually walked with us to the museum!

Have I mentioned how sunny it was? It brightened your day immediately, as soon as you stepped outside. It was a bit cold at times, but we're used to it. One bad thing about Stockholm is that everything is expensive. Well, for me it wasn't that big of a difference, but if you're coming from the US or some place that isn't Europe, you might find the prices strangely high.
We didn't eat a lot because we were saving money, so I usually ate three bananas, two apples a sandwich and a soup in one day.

We were staying at Interhostel, which was a pleasant hostel. You had free coffee and tea every morning, otherwise you had the whole kitchen to yourself. While me and Ana were making instant soups for dinner (Ramen), some other guests were making dinners as if they were working in a 5-star restaurant. Luck was with us at all times, because we were placed in a room with four other girls. We arrived at 2am on the 15th of October and I think we woke everyone up. We actually arrived at 11pm and then we had a bus which took us from Skavsta airport to Stockholm. I woke up at 1am when everyone was 'jumping out' of the bus and then it took us nearly an hour to find the hostel - thought the hostel was only 10 minutes away! I hate google maps.

As I was saying, we were in a room with four other girls. For some reason, every night a different Chinese (or Japanese) girl came and they all slept in the same bed - which left us confused. You would say goodnight to a girl with a red suitcase and then the next morning she was gone, which was normal. After exploring for the whole day you would come back to the hostel, to your room - and there was the same girl (or so we thought) with a blue suitcase, sitting on the same bed!
Anyhow, we met this crazy funny dutch girl Pam! She's from The Netherlands, but studies in Finland and she's currently traveling (right now I think she's in Russia). She has a blog too and you should check it out!

The summary of this post is: I wanna live in Stockholm someday, it's my favourite city. I actually prefer it to London. I like the vibe in the city, no one's rushing, and everyone is dressed so elegant.

I swear to you that I'm not a chameleon, though my skin looks different in every picture!

Anyhow, I'm going for a lunch with my dad so I decided that I'm gonna make myself look pretty today. I mean, I'm pretty confident with my "no-makeup" look, I just love using makeup! I've been sick to death for the past two days. I drank 8 cups of tea yesterday (am I British now!?), so I figured out that I should move the microwave into my room.
I'm currently thinking my room theme - which isn't fall. Is it okay to use candles? I mean, it's almost October which mean it's almost November which mean it's almost halloween..

Overall, I've been doing okay-ish. I've been reading quite a lot, about two books a week! My current favourites are the highlander romance stuff or just historical romance books in general. I read them on my iPad, though I haven't payed a cent for them (yes, I'm a pirate. I download that stuff. Why? I'm broke!). My next goal is to read the whole Harry Potter series! My current favourite books are: The Selection (series), Outlander, The Guardian (Margaret Mallory), Bloodlines (series by Richelle Mead), His Stolen Bride (Shelly Thacker), The New Girl(series, Tracie Puckett). Here are some books I am going to read very,very soon: Harry Potter, Fantastic beasts &where to find them, Stone and the Sea (A.L.Jackson), Kiss Deception, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, The Rest Falls Away, To Kill a Mockingbird, The Red Garden (Alice Hoffman), Paper Towns, Georgiana Darcy's Diary (Anna Elliot), Reached (Ally Condie), Love Beyond Time (Bethany Claire), The big book of time travel.

Speaking about makeup! If you want to see my current favourite makeup products, go and check my new video! Make sure to like and subscribe and please tell me if you have your own youtube account.

Have I ever told you that I absolutely hate wearing jeans? I think blue jeans of any kind make my legs look like I'm a hippo. I always preferred black jeans. Well, I prefer everything that is black. The more you know, haha!

I was also thinking about making a Q&A video. Would ya'll be interested? Please let me know in the comments section :)

G-bye!
