Do you know what I love? Contrasts! In people and in fashion. Whether it's feminine vs. masculine, color vs. base, casual vs. formal or soft vs. hard. I'd wear this outfit with a sleeked back, straight ponytail for day and loose messy hair at night.

This winter is killing my skin, lips and hands. I've been out of facial moisturizer for two weeks now and my skin has become dry, flaky in some parts and the chin and jaw has some gross spots. The sugar and bread is gone from my diet. But I've been staying up way too late and that's making it worse. It's disgusting, if I don't get my 8 hours, my body reacts with a glossy coat of grease all over my face. It's not only the brain that needs the sleep I guess... But I'm on the problem! Ordered new beauty products from Clarins and Nuxe that arrived today. And a new tube of my beauty crack Neulash of course. The toners from Clarins works great on me. Without alcohol and not too strong like Clinique's but not too weak either. And it last forever. I still have some left in my old one from this summer. Nuxe Rêve de Miel Night Cream smells like soft flowers and feels like it to. The jars are very ugly though, they need to fix that asap. The rest I've yet to try, will get back to you on that...

Powerwalk with Saga on the frozen beach hehe. Amanda came over and we watched my latest addiction "Suits". Even better than "Entourage". I want to be the female version of Harvey. Now, I've sent some very important emails about my future. AND, I've lost 4 kg + 4 cm from my tummy so far. Not bad at all! ;)

I found this amazing gold coated evil eye protector from one of my secret jewelery sites. Etsy has tons of unique handmade jewelery from all over the world. I'm very picky when it comes to jewelry. This time I found the perfect necklace and made a bargain (rarely happens). Lately I'm more into gold than silver. This necklace is very me and it goes with everything. Short, thin chain and tiny charm. The smaller and neater piece of jewelry, the more expensive and sophisticated you look is a general rule.

Went to bed real late last night but Amanda woke me up at 12. Today, I didn't feel like doing anything other than having a good lazy Sunday. We ate breakfast in the couch (green apples with chèvre and walnuts, mm..) while watching old episodes of "The City" and later forced ourselves out on a powerwalk in the snow. Big chunks of the raised path had slipped into the ocean so we could barely walk. But at least we got out. I don't feel good when I'm sitting inside a whole day. Dad came and picked us up, and I practiced driving for about two hours in Torekov. I'm getting there ;) Now, I'm resting for a while. Studying a bit of driving theory later.

Goals for 2012:

Project # 1 (Check!)

Loose weight to 65 kg.

Driver's license in May.

Move to ______ in August.

 

Tacos with my cousins, watching Gossip Girl and driving with mom. Sending some emails about my project. Now I have to wait and see. Patience is not one of my strong sides. Feels great to be finished already but also a bit empty. What should I do now? I guess it's time for a new project! And not to forget, celebrate my accomplishment! That's something I've never done before but I've realized is very crucial. Maybe a facial? This song is stuck in my head and iPhone all the time. Loove it.

Wardrobe pieces by Balmain, Hérve Léger, Gucci & Chanel. Never boring and always inspiring! Black and gold is a timeless combo that I need to start wearing more. And the nail polish is super classy.

You are extremely smart, cute, and above all: a true gentleman. Guys like you are very rare to find. I've always loved you and always will. You've got someting special. I've got nothing but love for you. One part of me will never get over you, believe me I've tried. Lately, I've started to accept the fact and tried to embrace it instead. Our beautiful memories will always last. And I am happy I experienced this with you because now I do believe in true love.

Every time I've promised myself not to contact you again, I have not been able to keep that promise to myself. This time I cannot be held back. I am strong now, much more so than before. Managed to hold on to my promise but you did not. If a relationship does not evolve it stagnates.

Facebook messages, texting and phone calls. Why? And why now? I know you wish like we could go back to the way we were but we can't.

Please, stop contacting me all the time. I do not respond, not because I don't love you anymore but because I don't know what to say. I cannot act like everything is like it was. I wish, but reverting back is impossible at this point. You cannot push me on this, it's a bit selfish and naive when you do. I'll let you know when I am ready and I do not know when that will happen. Maybe never but I hope so. You act like nothing has ever happened. That official tone is unnatural and wierd. You do it because you cannot talk a about feelings. It'll only drive me further away from you. Maybe in the future I can be your friend again, who knows, but for right now I can't. Let me take the first step. I know you so well and I know that you will respect my wishes, even though you might not understand me.

Chloé by Chloé is my current parfume. I bought this scent at the Brussels airport when I flew to New York. None of the other fragrances caught my attention but this one actually smelled just as luxurious and feminine as it looks. The top note is rose whilst the base consists of warm amber, honey and elegant cedarwood. In my opinion the ultimate parfume should smell exactly like your style and personality. It has to "click". This one definitely feels like a Michelle parfume. Sophisticated, feminine and luxurious.

Sitting in my bed, painting my toe nails pink and listening to Kanye West. "808's & Heartbreaks" could be one of the most emotional and perfect albums ever created. I adore every song on it. Tonight I am writing a bit. Oh and I added the Google Translate widget on top of my blog, can you all see it? But what happened with all your comments? I've been updating a whole lot lately but it's no fun when you guys do not respond.

Hey. I've been busy uploading some videos from my external harddrive that no one of you have seen before so I'm posting them later. I've been curious of the castor oil everyone has been talking about in the blog world lately. Maroccan oil seems to work for me but the castor oil is for the scalp, not the ends. Not that I need any longer hair now, I need a haircut really bad haha... I've been blessed with my hair, but I would like it to be a bit thicker. Everything can always get better! Stay tuned for before and after pictures.
