BP as in Bright Pink

Hi Everyone, Hope your weekend is amazing!!

SO...Yesterday I made an awesome discovery and clearly I need to share it with you. 

(Keep in mind I am easily excited, so dont expect rocket science) 

I dont know how ya'll feel about Starbucks Pumpkin spice lattes? But for me its the only source of nutrition once November comes around (when I am in countries they serve it, Norway is not yet on the Starbucks train.... Whyyyyy???). 

Please, if you are as addicted to them as I am... Try to add a ts of pumpkin spice and half a banana to your oatmeal, preferably tomorrow since I am 100% sure you dont want to miss out on a single day without this deliciousness! Its like comfort food, sparkle and everything awesome and pink in a cup! (Yes, I do eat it out of a red Starbucks coffee mug!! Dont judge! ) You can thank me for sharing later!

If you have been hanging out here with me for a while* (*by the way, did I tell you I<3U, you are pretty, and I am pretty sure you will be reincarnated as a unicorn in the afterlife and nothing beats a unicorn) you know that I have bought a new appartement and waiting for it since feb 2011... thats a long wait for an inpatient soul like myself. BUT as of now I will be moving in the 12th of feb, iik!

My pinterest is spammed with great appartement ideas, but I have been wondering how to incorporate some pink (sorry, I know I should be over it... but I just need some Pink in my life) in a grown up way (since im supposed to be grown up and all now...). And yay, totally feasible, just look at the pix below!

Might not paint my hall pink, but a chair is just the right amount sass!

Jade on a String

I hope you havent been holding your breath, but tata!! Here I am back from a refreshing trip to the mountains with a new DIY that is totally hold you breath worthy (if I may say so myself... and I may :).

I had totally forgotten how much fun you could have on the After-ski and I havent had a Jagerbomb since I was tricked to do one my first week in Canada.! Most of the kids at the afterski were still in diapers when "ice cube" was the thing (and come to think of it.... so was I.... minor details...), but we had them play You can do it and had a dace off!! (then the oldies aka us, went home and made a civilized dinner while the young'uns partied the night away.. hahah)

Over to the the DIY: 

This is totally one of those 5min DIYs that look like a million! I love it, alone or stacked!

As those of you who have been following know, the move in date for my brand-freaking-sparkling-new (iiiiiiiik) apartment is coming up. I am crossing my fingers feb 12^th will come without a hitch….. really who am I kidding, im crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs and well… I just look like a big knot by now! I spent last weekend shopping for appliances, so now Im taking a weekend off apartment-fretting with a trip to the mountains! Yay!

I’ll start of the weekend with a sneak peak of the DIY project I will share with you next week!

Have fun!!!

to Blog or not to Blog?!

Long time no see.... me that is!
Like I have previously written, I have been feeling a bit under the weather for the last few months, with reoccurring colds. (Actually feeling a lot better these days so keeping my fingers crossed, please cross yours too :) ) And not blogging has made me question whether I should really be blogging?! And so the not blogging has just been going on and on and on.. I still haven't decided whether or not I should really... but for now I am fine with undecided :)

While I'm in the thinking box (feel free to give me your thoughts?!!!) here are some oldies but goodies/ popular DIY's from 2012 :) (hahaha, going through all the old posts was so much fun, I had forgotten most of these, haha! I cant believe its only been a year?!)

Just Breathe

Yesterday I found out that I needed to go to Singapore with work...... Tomorrow!!! 

SO today I am in Singapore! :)

When I left Norway we had -15C and here its +30, I can with 100% certainty say that i prefer the later! What is really freaking me out though is all the Christmas decorations.. its surely too warm to be Christmas, no?! haha :) 

Anyway, I am so glad I dont have a house to prep for the holidays and thankfully all my present shopping was done in NYC a few weeks back! So im just winging it and enjoying the warm temperatures!

First day of Christmas

In my family Christmas starts 1st of December  Every year since I can remember 1st of December we would wake up to Christmas music, a decorated house, and a massive Christmas breakfast. This year was no different, I think it might just be one of my favorite Christmas traditions.  

(its hard to type right now cause everything thats in my head it "fa lalalala la la la la"

Happy Christmas everyone!! 

(And if you dont celebrate christmas, Happy holidays! Happy Christmas seems to be political incorrect these days, but I take any holiday greeting any day, a greeting is a greeting and its nice no mater what!  So bear with me when I wish you all an amazing christmas, 

cause its my very favorite holiday of the year! )

Inspiration: Christmas wreath

Christmas wreaths, the ultimate holiday house accessorie. They just look exactly like and old christmas movie ala. Home Alone 1 and its puts me right in the holiday spirit! I cant wait to put one on my own door, but that will have to wait till next christmas. Maybe I will have to have a New Year one when I get the appartement in January :) 

Remember my post last year about wanting to make this wreath? Well I still do, but I am still collecting!

this year though THIS is my favorite:
