Breathe in, breathe out.

Inhale

After becoming a mom, no actually, after my daughter started to walk haha, and after Silviu started to work away - only coming home on weekends, things got a little busy for me!

I should be at work today, but my daughter got a fever on Sunday night, and she has still got it, so I am at home with her, I've just woken up, dressed, brushed my teeth, done my morning skin care routine and here I am in this big empty quiet house all alone until my angel decides it's time to rise. Aloooone.

At first I wasn't sure what to do, because this is very unusual, I was just hoping I could get my skincare routine done in time for her to wake up.
The house is amazingly clean thanks to my step dad who came to visit us this weekend and even if it did look its usual self (as if a bomb went off) I wouldn't be spending this alone time cleaning.

I am doing chill therapy, blogging, as I have the time to, gosh this really relaxes me and I ought to do it more often.

It lets me breathe in, and breathe out.

Exhale

Weekends

It's Tuesday and the weekend high has definitely worn off. I'm back to my everyday routines and as I have time for nothing else but everyday routines (not even nails.....) I thought I'd give you a peek into an everyday kind of day for me.

05:15 - Last chance to get up
06:10 - Start drive
06:30 - Reach kindergarten
06:50 - Reach work
07:00 - Start work
15:00 - End work
15:15 - Leave work
16:00 - Get home and make dinner
17:30 / 18:30 (depending on how tired she is) - Bedtime for the little one :*
20:30 - Bedtime for me *yolo*

It's not really like weekend routines are any different, just the work part is, and Lilly sleeps about an hour more than on week days. But weekends are weekends and nothing will ever compare.

Lilly is in bed now and Silviu is at work, aah the poor guy, he worked overtime all of last week, and now this week too, I think it's pretty sad, because he only sees Lilly from 05:45 to 06:10 in the morning, he doesn't come home before 19:30, not to mention how tiring it is to work a 12 hour shift five days a week, and yet he never ever complains. I do, sometimes, but only because I crazy-miss him and that kind of justifies it ... right ?
Overtime weekdays are difficult, the afternoons pass before I've even blinked twice, when the evening comes the exhaustion follows and I am ready for bed before Silviu is even home. *sigh*

I love the weekends because there is a break from the working part, in a typical weekend we will all be happy all day and all night long, Silviu will make Lilly pancakes and she will be running happily around the house with her Adidas shoes on, we will go for a walk or a drive or just build lego at home and make a fabulous dinner (that part is all Silviu), we'll cuddle and watch a movie together before bed and just be happy.
If weekends didn't exist I think I'd lose my marbles teehee <3

Bridezilla?

Time is just ticking away. Really fast. I haven't been on the blog since beginning of February and I've missed it. I've been so busy these last few weeks, we've set a date for the wedding, I've picked my dress, and my maid of honour, we're looking for a venue, I need to make and send out invitations, make a menu, design the theme, finish the guest list (!)

Gosh there's a lot to do, and also, I have to focus all my energy on growing out my bangs as soon as possible. Because of course I went to get my hair cut, and of couuuuurse I wanted bangs. I wasn't thinking about how I'm supposed to get married in the summer and you can bet I wanted to cry when my fiancé said "Aww, you're going to get married with bangs, I love bangs<3<3<3". At least he likes them but seriously howstupidcanyoumuttering. Yep so there's that.

There's still 6 months to go, but I'm manic stressing already. I'm going to lose it. Is this what a bridezilla is?

Oooh dear.

Ribbon nail look

A day later than promised, but sometimes, in this case late is better than never. Sometimes not. Anyway, I ordered some nail deco from eBay the other day and not so long ago I picked them from my mail box.



Get it? They look pretty weird, but they are ribbons!
Hard to put on, but it looks awesome when it's done :-)



The looks is simple to do, all you have to do is pick a colour, pick a ribbon and top it all with the top coat of your choice :-)

B-to-the-LISS

Bliss. This minute I am overcome by it. I've been so busy the last couple of days without really knowing what I spent my time doing. Today my little angel was extra tired and she went to bed just 45 minutes than she normally does, but it made such a difference!
I cleaned the kitchen and the living room, fed the dog, fed the cat, blanketed my fiancé, took a shower, put on my pjs, crawled to bed, checked my mail, read blogs I follow up to date and now I'm typing away at the keyboard.
Ok fine, it's not bliss to put on pyjamas or clean, it was mostly the shower. Washing away all worries, all stress from today leaving bliss and calm in its place. I kind of want to go back in now haha.
Instead, although it's not even 7 pm yet, I am going to stay in bed, take out my twilight copy and read about the indestructible love of Edward and Bella. Cheesy. I'll show up with some hardcore nail looks tomorrow if I have time and hope you forgive me.
Night ! xxx

Throwback Thursday - Outfit of the past

I thought I would share one of my old looks as a Throwback Thursday kind of thing, not every Thursday, I think, but every now and then. So here's something casual I wore early August last summer. Would I ever wear it again? Yes, ma'am.






H&M - necklace, top.     // Zara - shorts.      // Pull & Bear - sneakers.

My Xmas Sale Buys

Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year, and almost equally as wonderful - "After Christmas Day Sale".
Over Christmas I was sick and I didn't even want to show my face out and about for a splendid sale, why suffer in society when you can just shop till you drop comfortably at home on your browser? No screaming kids or stick thin fashionistas who are suddenly just in your way snagging the pieces you had your eye on first(!!!!), no more crowds blocking the whole corridor walking at snail speed, no more waiting forever in line for the one nail polish you wanted to buy, no more... ok I'll stop. You get my point.
I do like people, really, I do, but it's just easier not having to stress about anything or anyone, by shopping at home online! The girl who is seriously trying to score something at the sale and the girl prancing around the mall with her boyfriend are NOT THE SAME GIRLS and if the latter is in the way ... it's just unnecessary, someone will get hurt!
I'm not crazy, I just like shopping in the comfort of my own home. Which I did over Christmas, and here are some of the pieces I snagged <3<3loveheart.






This I found on Zara's website. I'm not sure of the reduction anymore but it wasn't really a "good" buy considering the % off. But they had a sale on EVERYTHING. And I noticed too late to snag the best stuff, but I consider myself lucky with this jacket, I love it! My new favourite.






These weren't on sale, but they are so, SO nice. I got them from eBay. Extravagance HERE and Magic HERE.







Too gorgeous. They are from Asos and guess if I managed to get the last pair, and guess if they originally cost £160 and if I got them for £50. Guess if I felt wonderful after <3<3<3<3<3
They're still sold out. Sorry.






These boots are from Nly Trend and you can find them HERE. Not-on-sale price 499 NOK, sale-price 100 NOK. I'm saving them for spring <3






At an amazing 80 per cent off Ladies and Gents, I present to you "Wildfox Couture White Label Party Sweateeeeeeeeer"! Got it for like 500 NOK! Which is still a bit expensive. And hey, this is a really pretty jumper but don't pay full price for it 2300 NOK is crazy expensive.







Casual everyday dress from Gina Tricot. I didn't find it just now when I looked to link it so I guess it's sold out. It's a very simple dress from the front, nothing special really, but from the back this is what is looks like. It's a bit more fun, but at the sale time very casual and everydayish. This wasn't on sale but I was on a roll....






These heels are from Nly Trend and you can get them HERE (no longer on sale). I got these too for 100 NOK, they are so glamorous and sexy, they'd go perfect with just a very simple black dress!





*fist punches into the air* I LOVE SALES
