So I'm a shopaholic. A slightly recovered shopaholic... But I do tend to fill the void inside of me with stuff from Nasty Gal, Gypsy Warrior and Sephora. And today was just one of those days where I had an emotional itch that could only be scratched with some online shopping. I've wanted this faux crocodile skin makeup case since my dad and I were in New York last December, and since I'm Queen Mean (, farthest thing fromt the truth, whenever I try to be tough and a "bad bitch" I just end up laying in bed in full blown foster position crying abut how horrible I am... REAL TALK,) I finally bought it for myself. Also i kinda feel a little guilty for using money I don't have, but I'm also kinda happy...? its like a " Guilty :) " kind of feeling. My dad actually offered to get it for me and carry it home with him on the plane home. (I was spending christmas with my mom and he was off to The Canary Islands since I said it would be a hassle to bring back) But! I declined his offer ever so politely as he had already paid for us flying to New York and all the accommodations. Fuck, actually this was the christmas before (2014) as we were in LA last year. I've been thinking about this case since 2014, so I deserve it! That shows restraint. Also I bought a beauty blender as Ophelia has stolen all my other ones and nibbled them to pieces (which is one of the reasons I need a sturdy makeup case she can't get into, and I have to much makeup for just a simple bag) So yeah, just a basic beauty blender. I'm also not linking in these two things as you can just get them at Sephora.com. It actually turned out I had a huge amount of points at sephora, 1565 to be exact (shopaholic remember), this number isn't necessarily that impressive but taking into account that Norway doesn't have Sephora's it is. The amount of money is spend on makeup between June - August is shameful (I visit Mama every summer). Unfortunately I couldn't use those points as I could get anything from the list (that I wanted) sent to Norway. But jokes on you Sephora, cause when summer comes I'm gonna go loca crazy on your ass.

I recently swore off online-shopping until April (besides some mugs I've wanted for a few years that I recently found online... And maybe a cute outfit). I'm normally pretty good with personal goals, but this time Facebook fucked me up. Above I've listed things that fall into my "aesthetic" or in other words things I really really like. I've been all about the "princess of darkness" life for a while (shoutout to my cousin Kels for dubbing me that when I was like 10, and for it sticking) and I have no intentions on stopping this crazy train any time soon (fuck you Mom! It wasn't a phase). Anyway! Facebook did some serious damage to my will power today putting this on my feed: So if you are anything like me you just had a mini-heartattack. But behold my pretties... motherfuckers light up!!! Buy 'em here Sometimes you find something so magical you start daydreaming about how you will spend the rest of your life with this tiny piece of heaven that somehow materialized as a purchasable object. I have to take breaks from writing because I keep envisioning myself in an apartment with floor-to-celling windows by the coast of California, covered in tattoos, with an oversized band shirt on, drinking coffee. I would't have to wear makeup, because who in their right mind would be looking at my face when I have light-up unicorn slippers on my toes (but you know they'd be painted black, because as I said before; all about that life). Sid Vicious might also be there (and Alive, and young and not in his 60's as he would have been) but I'll spare you the details... As the complete and utter imbecile I am I decided to browse this site, which despite certian rumors, sells actual happiness. Mistake, maybe..? It depends upon me ending up in a cardboard box or not. Turns out they sell something I have been looking for the past 6 months.... Drum roll please.... A star-map projector dome! But I bought it in pink so no one will doubt the fact that I am the ruling princess of this kingdom (my apartment). Naysayers will be beheaded. (Side note: I like pink decorative things, but not on people, baby pink can sometimes work as hair a color, but other than that NO) Buy it here I also found this really cute cleaning ball which the site says is "robotic" but I'm pretty sure they just misspelled "powered by fairy-dust", really very quite sure. (didn't buy it..... yet.... it's sold out at the moment....) Get it here And They had this light which I also didn't get, but will if I still want it by April. (It was in-stock! RESTRAINT!) Get it here (Just throwing a picture of Sid Vicious out there as he was my first ever crush ...who wasn't a Pokémon trainer...)
Today has been an uneventful day in an uneventful week. I've spent a majority of my time on Netflix binge watching Breaking Bad. I probably should't, as I find anything slightly destructive very inspiring. Not that I would make a "good" criminal as sudden noises startle me, and I will cry if you even consider yelling at me. I'm also very fond of holding hands, which I feel might be frowned upon in a "criminal environment" (they don't know what their missing)... I could always marry a criminal, but I feel like he would divorce me after I cause a scene everyday when he doesn't want to bring the lunch I made for him to work. I'm a fragile little baby bird. On a happier note I received a package from etsy today! Get the sleep mask here
Now, you might not be able to tell, but I kinda like bats. I actually really like bats, as in I aspire to one day be an wild life foster parent so I can take care of baby bats and release them into the wild when their ready. I also want to take care of other animals like deer and raccoons, but bats are high on my list. One of my aunts actually took care of bats when she was alive (she died when my mom was 16, so I never got to meet her). She also helped Natives on the reservations , I'm not sure what she did exactly, but I know the Natives would give her turquoise stones as thank you's. She also ended up marrying a Native man and having children with him, which explains why one of my cousins looks like Pocahontas. So in other words; I adore my aunt Jackie and I wish I'd met her. I'm also pretty sure she's the reason we never really celebrated thanksgiving (I think we've celebrated it like 3 times, and I don't think we've ever celebrated on the actual date), The only reason we've ever had "thanksgiving" is because me and my brother really like the food. I asked my mom once why we didn't celebrate thanksgiving (I was probably like five) and she kneeled down and said "because when the pilgrims arrived to America they were welcomed by the 'Indians' and they shared their food with the pilgrims and helped them survive, and to repay them the pilgrims killed the 'Indians". I'm very happy my childhood wasn't sugarcoated. I wouldn't have the been the pro-gay, pro-trans, Bernie Sanders loving feminist I am today if I hadn't learned that something doesn't have to be okay, just because everyone else says it is. I am the messiest person I have ever met. I lose my keys, wallets, and headphones all the time. My dad hates it! He used to have a special spare key he'd give me whenever I'd lose my real ones, this was very handy until I lost the spare key too... Yep... On the bright side I recently found some keys I lost last spring (they were in a empty flowerpot?!?!!? WTF?!). So yeah, whenever you see a movie and they make a joke about someone putting a phone in the fridge, I would do that, actually... I have done that... and the dishwasher. I am everything you should strive to be as a person. About two days ago I had to order a new credit card and debit card from my bank. I'd obviously lost the previous ones, and two weeks without a debit card sucks (especially since Norwegian debit cards function as I.D.). I can't wait to get my cards as I need to get some stuff online and I can't put it on my Paypal as my old card is deactivated. But it's okay. I picked up a few things at the post office today since Urban Outfitters had a sale a couple weeks back. I've also had my eye on this really cool crystal that was for sale at an interior store right by Aker Bryggen for a while, and my dad was nice enough to get it for me. The lady who worked there said it was a type of quartz crystal Heres the stuff I picked up at the post office today Because nothing says "I am a responisble adult" like buying a flamingo pool floatie A tiny little christmas tree "The Watermelon Bowl" And last but not least, a snoopy mug
Today I hung out at Linnea's house. We were supposed be working on the "Destination Exploration" blog, which we did... Thing is we also watched ghost adventures, went to a cafe, and watched youtube vids of people eating Norwegian candy (of all things). After finishing our third "Norwegian candy" video one thing was certain, we were hungry. This ended in a slightly guilt felt, but fun trip to the closest grocery store. There were a lot of "I shouldn't's" and "I can't's" but we ended up with a moderate supply of candy each. I ended up with one candy bar, and wasn't swayed by the (how ever tempting) potato chips. she walked me to the train, we hugged, and said our goodbyes.
My dad picked me up by the station. My phone had seen better days, and was in dire need of replacement, and me being the savvy girl I am, had found a cheap iPhone 6 plus online the night before, so before we got home we picked up the iPhone. The new phone is great, only problem is I'm 5'2 which makes for very small hands on a very large screen. Not a big deal though, I'll get used to it :) |
