I'M BACK !!

Busy? Yup.

It's been ages since I last blogged, and so many things have happened since then. 

For starters, I'm even more blond now, and have been so ever since I did my post. A lot of people dislike it, but eventually, I'll go back to being dark haired once I get tired of doing my roots. 

So what does it look like? This: 

Little sis to the left, isn't she a beauty? :D

From New Years at my place. With bestie Simone <3 

Pink night at Mette's place. Me and Claus :)

At home, favorite dress !

Biggest reason why I didn't blog for some time, was that I moved. I got an awesome apartment in a new city and I enjoy it soooo much! It's bigger and we got some pretty sweet furniture. We even have a guest room for our V.I.P.S ;)

Another huuuge change is, that since New Year, I've been animal free - 

I've been vegetarian for many years, but since the start of 2013 I haven't had any dairy, fish or eggs either. I've been really surprised since then because my energy is up to a whole new level !! I feel so good in my body, so good that I even started exercising. That is a big deal for me, since I'm the worlds biggest couch potato :) 

What the new diet also demands, is that I almost only eat homemade food. Do I miss junk? Yes. Though not as much as I thought I would have :) 

So I mostly eat stuff like this: 

(I'll have some recipes out on the blog soon)

Cauliflower in garlic dough. YUM !

Last ones are inspired by a recipe I found on PETA's website.

So... this was a quick update on the last half year an what I've been up to. Other than that, it's pretty much the same, me and cat go to school, hang out with friends and so on... 

Feels good to do blogging again. Hopefully I'll be able to post a lot more often.

See you soon ;)

"Long hair" tips + sleeping with the enemy

Something happened. I did something stupid. Stupid.

...and now I am left with guilt. The rival of the mens magazine I write for was in our town one evening. They regularly feature a nightlife section in their magazine, where they go and take pics of ladies and stuff. They asked me for a picture, and at that time (drunk) it sounded like a great idea. Picture? Why not.

This was a couple of months back so I happily forgot about... Until the day the pic turned up in their magazine. I don't like this guilty feeling (but I do look pretty good on the photo I think).

I was drunk. I do not get drunk very often since I'd rather be home eating in front of the TV and getting tons of sleep.

If you don't believe me, here's another picture from that night.

Found at mmm.dk 

Damn.. I even got their logo on me. Oh god I love the magazine I work for and yet here I am, apparently a walking advertisement for M!. My boyfriend just laughs at me and says it's no big deal, just a photo. I hope his right, because I feel awful about it. 

OK, enough with that, let's move on. I wasn't planning on writing anything before tomorrow, but since I was in front of the computer anyway, sick and not able to do much, I thought I might as well post now. Boyfriend is with his friends in another room playing xbox. Dog is sleeping. Boring evening (guess I'll just watch tv and eat something). 

Kassica asked me just now for some tips on growing and maintaining long hair. At first I thought that I didn't really do anything (I always torture the hell out of my hair. It's a miracle I even have a single hair left on my head). Then I realized I actually do some stuff without even thinking about it!! 

I've just gotten used to my routine since my hair has been long for years, so I did not consider it as maintaining.

I do have pretty tough hair though. I don't use any special products, I just buy whatever is cheap. I don't put on hair masks and I only condition 1/3 times since I'm lazy. 

Also, I haven't cut my hair properly for years, so it's no wonder it got so long.

You may already know these tips, but this is what I do (nothing). 

In the shower:

1. When showering, only add shampoo to scalp and roots. No further down, especially not anywhere close to the tips/ends. That would otherwise dry the ends out badly.

2. I only rinse with lukewarm water, since the extra heat is unnecessary damage to the hair.

3. Before adding any conditioner, I divide my hair in to two "pig tails" and gently squish out most of the water so the conditioner will be more concentrated once it's been added. 

I don't believe you need to make pig tails if your hair is shorter, but it makes it a lot easier if your hair is long.

4. Go freaking crazy with the conditioner. More is more. I use a lot of conditioner (to exaggerate half a bottle) and make sure I get it even all over. Then I massage gently and leave it in for 5 min. 

After shower:

5. After the shower - before I wrap my hair in a towel, I do the pigtail-squishy thing again. This makes my hair dry faster. Please don't ever try and dry it by rubbing it with your towel!!

6. I only blow-dry my hair if it is extremely important. There is so many other ways I'd rather f**k my hair up in. I also only use hair straighteners and curling irons on rare occasions.

7. When brushing through my hair I start at the bottom and brush gently, moving up towards the roots.

Other tips:

8. I don't wash my hair every day. Every two or three days I wash it. No need to abuse it more than what is necessary.

9. UPDATE! I tried out a tip for healthier hair today. It was very very simple and it is something that you always keep at home, so very inexpensive. The tip was to add mayonnaise to your hair and let it sit for 30 min. Once I washed it off and it dried, my hair looked so much better! It feels super soft, so smooth and stronger now. I think I'll start doing this more often. It feels too good to be true, since it did not take much time or effort and only costed me 1/4 bottle mayonnaise. Amazing!

...Ok, so it was only two more.

I think that is all for now. Sorry for another too long post :b 

I want to say thank you to the few fellow bloggers I have talked to so far. Every one of you have been so warm and welcoming. Such nice people!! 

So thanks a lot for being awesome!! <3

Awesome.

I finally found a solution to all my problems!

Well, maybe not all of my problems (it can't make my crazy mother in law relax and take it easy), but it can and it will organize all of my stuff. Okay, it can't do that neither, but it can contain most of what I need (My name is Tatiana and I am a makeup hoarder).

Tadaaaa!

The reason why I'm so excited is that I never get around buying anything to organize my things properly. This took me less than five minutes, didn't cost me anything and was just so easy :D Scissor and cardboard box... and done!
I do realize that it is ugly, but once I have the time (and some glue), I'll wrap it in some gift paper and add some shiny things ♥ Then I think it'll look really nice.

Looks or not, it does the job. It'll save me so much time in the morning When I don't have to look through a giant beauty bag to find one single thing.

For all my stuff I am gonna need another box, because...

Things just keep coming!!

Yup, I'm guilty.

Oh also this:

These brushes are soo nice and soft!! Can't wait to try them.

The mini bamboo brush set is so cute, and a really good size for when I am on the go. The only thing I'm worried about is the contour brush, since I think it might be just a tiny bit rough on the skin.

I love how e.l.f.'s brushes are cruelty free since I always feel bad when buying a brush that is not. The brushes are even eco-friendly! The kabuki brush is also cruelty free and anti-bacterial. NICE!!

I've become pretty bored with my hair lately, so I've been thinking about doing some changes.

I'll cut my hair this week, and maybe if I dare to, I'll try making bangs. (No way you're going through with that, you're such a chicken!) 

....and also this came through the mail today:

Yup, that's right, I'm going blonde.

Nah, I'm not really sure yet. I just thought it would be a fun experiment to see if my hair will actually do it.  My hair usually lightens very easily, so I'm wondering how it will turn out. If it won't do blonde, I'll dye it some pretty brown shade. 

I'm going to update on this blog during the whole blonde experiment, so be sure to come back :)

For the next few days I'll try and be really nice to my hair, since I usually torture the hell out of it. 2/3 times I don't condition in the shower because I'm too lazy. I never cut it and I never use those treatments that you can get for it. 

That whole thing is going to change now, otherwise I'll be going bald very soon. 

From now on I'll condition the living s**t out of it, and put on hair masks frequently. 

So much work sacrifice in the name of science :P 

I'm scared just thinking about cutting my long princess hair... Right now it looks like this:

(It doesn't really appear this much two-coloured in real life. Or so I think.)

Okay, so I got to run now. I got two school assignments to make today, cooking, cleaning and caring for a sick boyfriend to do. Before I go, I'll just add a few more pictures of my beautiful creation:

*le me is creative
