Kim and I were out last Tuesday taking pictures of our beautiful town of Stockholm. Although it was very cold and gray when we started our photo walk at 8am, we did manage to take loads of pretty pics. Somehow, I thought it was a better idea to use my mittens as lens cases than wearing them. God, I'm so smart.

We have the weirdest taste in music in my household. Yes, you guessed correctly, I am responsible for the L'arc-en-Ciel overload on this weeks top lists. Lost Heaven is my pre-spring song of choice this year. Reminds me of the brighter, carefree times of my youth  junior high.

Planted some basil and other herbs in this practical pot from Sagaform. The basil is showing quite well! +1, Belsam!
 
Spring is right around the corner.

Brought my camera to a sparring session some time ago. First time ever shooting sports! It was a great experiance, opened my eyes to how timing is key when photographing sports, and how the right gear can make or break not only the shots but the whole shooting experience. I still have to practice to shoot with both eyes open to not miss anything. Can't wait to do it again!

5x5 things about me

published 2012-11-13 01:22:21 under text,

5 things found in my bag:
1- Gum
2- More gum. I seriously have like 2 packets of gum in my bag at all times.
3- Nude lipstick, right now I switch between Dior and Clinique.
4- Red leather wallet from Korea that is falling apart.
5- An assortment of receits and paper tissues...

5 favourite things in my apartment:
1- My collection of speakers. I'll show you guys some day.
2- My dining table from Ikea
3- My very pretty chairs I bought from a nice lady that had bought them at various auctions and renovated them.
4- My books. I love my books
5- My bed, gosh I love my bed so much I could marry it.

5 things I always wanted to do:
1- Own a café that serves rainbow colored non-alcohol drinks on hot summer days
2- Write a book
3- Be successful
4- Rock a pixie cut.
5- Visit Japan

5 things I am currently into:
1- Natural skin care. I'd love to get a skin care routine that only involves 100% natural stuff. I'm kind of half way there though!
2- Minimalism, inspired by the gang over at /r/minimalism.
3- Adventure Time!
4- Coffee and coffee houses. 
5- Traveling! We are contemplating a trip to the beautiful city of Berlin in the near future.
 
5 things I loathe:
1- Being cold.
2- Redness. These days my face keeps getting red at inconvenient times. Maybe a new diet will help.
3- This guy
4- Milk. Makes my belly rumble and my face full of pimples
5- Not being able to do more. There is just not enough time to get enough sleep AND do things in one day. I'd just love if I could get 1 day off the week to just sleep.
