Swedish Comedian

I finished my studies for today. Now I'm watching Felix stör en ingenjör on tv4play. Since I'm thinking of becoming an engineer myself this show is perfect. Besides, it's really funny thanks to the star himself, Felix Herngren. Don't know how many times I've laughed while watching these episodes!!


Beautiful

My friend showed me this video. Try watching it without shedding a tear. It's about this guy, Chris, who's fiance had a car accident two weeks before their wedding. The doctors said that she wouldn't make it but Chris wouldn't give up and it turned out that she was still alive but she had severe damages. Watch the video and you'll see :'(


This is such a beautiful song. He has a great voice but more important than that, he has a big heart!

Not a small catch


Just came across this picture. Talk about a big fish! Imagine seeing one of those underneath you when you're swimming in the ocean ;)  The halibut weights 341,5 kg and it was caught in Norway. It's kind of hard to believe right? I mean its HUGE!

Chocolate Macaroons

I decided to make chocolate macaroons...for the very first time! But my mom helped me which is probably why they turned out to be beautiful and absolutely delicious. This is definitely not the last time I'll make these adorable pieces of heaven. I had so much fun making them. Here are lots of pictures:






The final result :')

Here's the recipe if you're intrested;

Chokladmacarons


90 g mandelmjöl
(eller mald mandel, men då ska det vara 90 g efter att du siktat den)
20 g kakao (ca 2 msk)
170 g florsocker (knappt 3 dl)
90 g äggvita (cirka 3 st)
2 msk strösocker
Ev. några droppar brun färg

Smörkrämsfyllning:
100 g smör
1 dl florsocker
2 tsk vaniljsocker
3 tsk kakao

Gör så här:
Börja med att mäta upp mandeln.
Om du inte har mandelmjöl eller får tag på det, kan man göra det själv. Mandelmjöl är egentligen bara mald mandel som är skållad och skalad! Om du gör själv, skålla och skala mandeln och låt torka på handduk eller hushållspapper innan du mal den i mandelkvarn eller mixer. Sikta den malda mandeln ordentligt så att den blir riktigt finkornig, sen har du mandelmjöl! Och det är alltså 90 gram man ska ha efter att man har siktat den, så det behövs mer mandel från början.






A sweet reward

I've been studying for hours today (I have a biology test coming up this friday) so now I really deserve to take it easy and do something that I enjoy, baking. I mentioned earlier that I wanted to make macaroons but I'm not sure now. We'll see. I'll show you guys later what I made :)

Good or not?

Before I came home today I went to the grossery store (Ica) to buy the seasoning "Aromat". I've always heard people saying that it is so good with this and that and bla bla, so now I want to try it. It seems like a lot of people are obsessed with this seasoning so it has to be good right?


People use it in sandwhiches

They put it on their eggs instead of salt. I always put salt on my eggs but I'm going to try it with aromat next time.

It's also popular to flavor the popcorn with aromat. 




My babies

Someone asked me the other day to post a picture of all my rings, here you go!


I have some more rings but they're not as pretty as these ones. Maybe I'll show you them another time. Right now I'm in to big and black or turquoise rings, I just love the way they look. So these are basically my favorites. Oh and I almost forgot. I bought a new one today at Indiska for only 69 kr. I'll show it to you later, it's really pretty I swear :)

Sweets

I am such a sweet tooth! It's almost dinner time but all I want is macaroons :D Ha ha they're so delicous. I think I'm going to make some this weekend for the very first time. I just need to find a good recipe. Anyone have one?


I took this picture a couple of months ago when we were at the airport in South Korea on our way to Sweden for the summer :)

Small things

I bought some underwear today on my way home from school as I passed by the mall.


Cute :)

This will look nice under a big singlet or a transparent shirt :)

If you want to lose some weight by eating less calories and ofcourse exercising, I have a great tip for you. When you come home from school you feel hungry right? And you just want to grab everything in your fridge and stuff it in your mouth. Well here's a good snack that only contains 14 calories per biscuit!! I'm talking about Carr's Table Water Biscuits. They may not taste a lot but they're perfectly fine to me. They're quite nice actually. I just had three of them which is only 42 calories, great huh? In addition, to ease my hunger I drank som soda water, Loka which is obviously healthy, I mean it's water for god sake. So there you have it, two great tips if you wan't to eat as little as possible. But remember, it's not healthy to eat less than a 1000 calories a day.


You can find these at Ica for about 16 kronor :)



Outfit of the day

I'm off to school. Have a nice day!

Ellinor, a natural talent

I have recently come across this blogger who teaches you how to draw. Go check out her blog at Lardigteckna.blogg.se, you won't regret it. Atleast not if you're interested at becoming a better artist. She gives you great tips and she shows you how to draw (for example) eyebrows or hair trough tutorials, videos. Since I'm interested in art myself I absolutely love her blog.

This picture is made by her and it portays the famous blogger Kenza Zouiten. Isn't it amazing?!

Fun App

Im tired and sick so I'm laying here in my sofa with a thick blanket over me and a cup of tea with honey. It's actually quite nice except for the sick part. For entertainment I'm playing some games om my ipod. My favorite is definitely Angry birds ha ha. Anyone played it? It's fun :)

Gym gym gym

I hate being sick, I haven't been at the gym since last week and now I feel like a... fat little nugget? I want to exercise so I'm going to the gym first thing tomorrow before school starts :)






Chocolate Cupcakes

I stayed at home today as well, I still feel a bit ill so it's better to be on the safe side and skip school. Since I don't have anything to do I decided to make...cupcakes! Mom absolutely loved them. So did I ofcourse. This is the first time I tried this recipe and it turned out to be the best one so far when it comes to chocolate cupcakes. Try it!

Change in lifestyle

I have just made a big decision. From now on, I'm going to become a vegetarian. I've thought about this a lot lately and now I've made up my mind. There are no religous reasons behind this it's simply because I think that the way people raise animals for just one purpose, to be eaten, is wrong. In addition, many of these animals are raised in doubtful conditions.
If we look at hens for example. They are forced to live in small cages together with three or four other hens troughout their lifetime before they fulfill their purpose, to be eaten, to become food. Now I'm not saying that everyone who raises chicken does it this way but many do. Simply because it's cheaper and easier.
There are many videos on youtube where you can see how bad the conditions are for animals around the world. Many of you chose not to look at stuff like this. You just turn and look the other way. Maybe because you don't want to face reality, it makes you sad, or because you might just not care. It might be the easiest way to go. But imagine what a big difference you can make if you stop eating meat. It's even better if you get others to do it too. Many animals will be saved and the egoistic people who treats the animals wrong won't make as much profit.
I'm not forcing anyone to become a vegetarian, it's your own choice and I respect your decision. I'm not going to eat chicken, beaf, pork, fish or any shellfish. One of the things that made me change my mind was the documentary Oceans that I watched a couple of days ago. Some scenes are just heart-breaking. Like the one where some fishers catch a shark and cut of all its fins before they throw it bag in the ocean, alive. And we get to see how it struggles to swim away but it can do nothing as he sinks to the bottom. I almost started crying to be honest.

Question of the day: How can people be so cruel?

Vegetarian food ;) This might not look that tasty but there are many other delicious meals.

¨
I told you about this documentary before. It's good, watch it!

Stupid Inventions

Just came across this ad and all I can say is; "wow". Not in a "woah that's amazing" kind of way but more like "wtf is wrong with some people". But haha, you got to admit, it's ridiculously funny but oh so idiotic. Who would actually try this, lazy people?


If you want a six-pack, get your ass up and start working out and throw the fat food away ;)

Jlovesmac1

Right now you're probably thinking what-the fuck is "Jlovesmac1"?! Well it's a girl on youtube who has these videos in which she shows you how to put on your makeup and how to fix your hair etc. She's the best makeup guru on youtube ever,even better than Michelle Phan I swear. Not only is she good with makeup, hair and fashion, she's really funny too!

She's filipino :D (So am I, well I'm half swedish too but whatever)



Her youtube homepage: Jlovesmac1

Sweet siblings

My littlebrother just came home with an icecream in his hand. He had been at Biteline and eaten the "icecream-buffet" and he brought an icecream with him for me. Apparently he felt sorry for me because I've been in all day since I've caught a cold, I skipped school. Guess how happy I am now? This proves how nice siblings can be, haha :)

I feel much better
