MLB Autumn

I can't believe I've received another 3 boxes already :)

Starting with the coolest box ever (I am indeed talking about the actual cardboard box).
The theme of this month was fashion in collaboration with Freddie My Love and Claudie Pierlot






The best thing in this one is the envelope style wallet which I wouldn't use every day but is perfect for going to parties when you only need the essentials with you. And it is in a pretty colour scheme as well :)

Other things in it were :
  • Erborian Korean skin mask 
  • Mascara
  • Eau Micellaire



In October I got the Brooklyn box.
The best thing about it is the Donut worry sticker :D that I immediately peeled off and restickered on my wall next to the desk so I can see it and donut worry everyday :) I dread the day it should ever fall off...



This box is about drinking coffee (which I don't do), we got a cool coffee stencil. Even though I don't really drink hot drinks anymore to make use of it I still appreciate the coolness of it ok :D

And of course an actual metal coffee cup. So cute. The magazine had various cake recipes to make in a cup and microwave and then a couple of days later and email came through saying that those recipes weren't actually meant to be made in THIS particular cup as you cannot put it in a microwave :D oops... someone messed up :D


Other items in the box were:
  • Collar studs (quite pretty but not my style)
  • A little donut badge for jeans or something... :S
  • Nail strengthener - Love it, quite a strong and sweet smell 
  • Eye Liner
  • Eau de toilette



Now the most recent box which is all about sleeping (Totally my thing ;))





Best thing in it by far is the sleep mask, I have wanted one for ages but could never justify buying one as I do not need it per se. But now I have it I am actually using it!!!


Other things in the box:
  • Overnight jewellery dish shaped like a moon
  • Makeup remover gel
  • Garnier face scrub
  • Yves Rocher eau de toilette

All in all quite good boxes :) Can't wait for the next one already

Out of my comfort zone

I just hit the send button for my scholarship application. Wohooooo! Now the waiting game begins. No biggie though, just a bit over 10000 pounds are on the line here :D
The application consisted of different parts, motivational and academic etc, the usual stuff. And then…a video. Excuse me? Who knows me knows that I don’t even like being photographed (Jazz knows how I panic and hide :D ) but as it was compulsory one had to do whatever was needed. So obviously I am no guru and don’t cut and edit a great thing together like the pro youtubers, so the only option was to have the perfect take in one sitting. If I messed up I had to start again. Did it countless times, but practice truly makes perfect and on the third day I kinda mastered it. To be honest, I never thought it would be so hard though, because you talk to the camera, how hard can it be, right? Very! Especially as my scholarship might be dependant on that. And every little detail starts bugging you when you watch it, like the noises you do between sentences or words you use or when you look away for even a split second or the pace of talking, literally everything.

Anyway, I did my best, so fingers crossed now!

Supernatural

Could this possibly be the best thing on tv???
I'm not sure why it has taken me so long to discover this but omg I wish it would never end!



I think I started watching it early this year from season one and am finally starting to catch up. I think I have one full season left to watch :'(

So what is it? Why is it so amazing? I think it could be the 2 hotties...



The first seasons were just two brothers working a different supernatural case (a.k.a. killing killing and killing) in different episodes, there was a slight storyline of finding their father in the background to tie the episodes together but it wasn't that important. Until it all changed and angels were introduced to the show and basically just screwed everything up for Sam and Dean. Meaning the episodes weren't that random anymore (but there were still lots of killing).


I love the ridiculousness of this show, the special episodes where they poke fun at themselves like when they had to act through different tv shows (Grey's Anatomy, sitcom, CSI Miami and a Herpes commercial) to get out of the tricksters trick, or the "Supernatural" books and dealing with the author and fandom. Not to mention when they were brought to the "real" world and everyone kept calling them Jared and Jensen, actors of the tv show "Supernatural".



During the whole show hey have died a combined 117 times between themselves

At least one of them has been 
  • In hell
  • In heaven
  • In purgatory
  • Soulless
  • Knight of Hell
  • Vampire
  • Ghost
  • Jefferson Starship
  • Demon
  • Psychic
  • Old Man




They've met and mostly killed
  • Lucifer and most of the other Arch Angels but not God
  • Death, War, Famine and Pestilence (in person)
  • Tooth Fairy
  • Fairies
  • Imaginary Friends
  • Krampus
  • Snooki!!!!!
  • and obviously a LOT more of supernatural characters like ghosts and ghouls etc.



Ok obviously the awesomeness of this show can not be put into words so I found my two favourite videos to put up instead...






Last but not least I need to mention the 2 "new" outstanding and awesome characters

Crowley: The King of Hell




Castiel: the Angel who played god






Ok I need to stop now... :D

Be careful what you wish for...

Whoever said it, was right. I think I have wanted to live in London since I was 15 and visited it the first time. 10 years forward and I’m moving to London. Exciting, stressful, nervous and about 70 other emotions going through me daily. 

I’m extremely sad to leave my job because of the people I work with and the memories it has created and the exciting situations that it would continue to bring to my life. I really thought I would stay home for longer, but life had other plans. The countdown has begun and the new chapter shall start at the end of the year. 

At the moment the main focus is on finding a home. If only people bothered to reply to potential tenants…like seriously, do people loose their manners in London? I get that you can’t reply to everyone as I can’t be bothered to reply to all the automated offers or whatever they are which offer me a place on the other side of the London, well, clearly you did not read my advert and you send the same text to everyone. But when the tenants ask you to “send through a little something about yourself” and I have taken the time to do it, then come on, if it didn’t rock your boat then at least send me the automatic reply created by the site, but no, they just leave you hanging there -.-
And how many potential tenants are willing to fly in from a different country to sign the contract? Their loss, my perfect place is waiting for me…somewhere. Right?

Oh yes, and then I ordered myself a new sim, so that I can agree on viewings beforehand and have things lined up when arriving. Jazz was kind enough to post it to me and snail mail, is literally snail mail as it’s almost 3 weeks since she posted it…Should I even hope that it will arrive?

At least I’m working on my social calendar, bought first concert tickets. And now I’m eying Bruno Mars’s tickets, someone I have wanted to see live for years.
