Good day you! 

Today has been one of these days were I don't really know what to do. So all I have done today is painting my nails for tomorrow, watching movies and done some grocery shopping with my parents. 

Now I'm gonna sit in my bed, eat these amazing strawberry and cream popcorn and drink a Vitamin Well with strawberry and rhubarb taste and watch some TV. 

I've got to say that this drink is amazing or a lats it tastes amazing. 

Hope your day was good, i'll talk to you later! 

Love, Erika

Merry christmas! 

One of my favorite things about christmas is that I get to wrap all of the christmas presents. 

That's one of my total favorite things, it's so fun to try all of the different decorations that you can find in a store, as well as using branches and other cool things. 

Then the days before christmas when all of the presents are under the tree, it's just awesome. 

So since I love it so much I thought that I would share some pics of a few of the present's I have wrapped so far. Hope you like them and get inspired to get started and wrap some presents. 

Love, Erika

Merry Christmas! 

Christmas is just one week away *happy singing and dancing* and if you're not done with you Christmas shopping for the stockings yet, here are some tips! 

Lip balms is a perfect thing since it's really cold outside and your lips get's dry a lot easier. 

But since it's cold outside gloves and cozy socks is also a good idea. 

A hot bath has never hurt anyone, or at least on hurt anyone badly. So bath bombs or fizz bars is a good gift if you know that this person you are buying for can handel the heat that it hot water. (Sadly I'm not one of those people)

I rally like notebooks and pens so if I got that in my stocking I would be happy. And if you think logically, it's a thing that almost everyone uses. 

Makeup is also a good ide if you know someone who likes it. It dosen't have to be full sizes, small tests is a good stocking stuffer. 

And lastly but not least, candy! I'm pretty sure everyone likes some sort of candy. Either candy as in lollipops and bubblegum or nature candy like dried fruit and nuts. So candy will always be a safe card to go with.

Merry Christmas!

This morning when I opened the advent calendar I found this lovely nail polish - under the sea.

It's a beautiful color and I can't wait to try it. 

It's quite perfect for me since I was in need for a blue nail polish that would match my dress for newt weekend, and now I found it. 

I'm looking forward to try it and I love the sparkels in it, I will keep you updated and post a pic of the result.

Today I've been selling cookies at the annual christmas market. You see in school we have to create a company that we will run and be in charge of for a year. 

And I have decided to create a recipes book with gluten free and lactose free recipes. 

But I'm not done with it yet so I decided to sell cookies today. 

That way I could try out some of the recipes. 

The day all in all was good and I did actually win the price for best display and showcase, so that was  good!

Now I'm going to eat some of the cookies that are left and drink some tea. 

Hope your day was as good as mine was!

When I was in London I bought this. I bought it because it looked really pretty and I just loved the colors. The eye shadows are really pigmented and they are easy to blend. 

The mascara has a nice texture and color and the eyeliner is very easy to use.  

So if you are looking for a present to someone who are in to makeup this is a good option. 

It's not so expensive but it looks really amazing.

After school today I went shopping. My plan was to just look around but they had a sale today only in one store. So I decided to buy a few things. 

After that I went out for dinner with my dad and sister. 

We went to this restaurant called ät. and it was amazing. The best thing was the menu! 

It's in Swedish so I will just translate the funny parts for you. 

Muy caliente - ät. burgers cousin with one hell of an temperament. 

The heartbreaker -  A pig burger mutated with a normal burger and with cheese in the middle. Defibrillators can be found in the building. 

I might be the only one, but I find these so funny!

Today is going to be both a lazy day and a productive day. 

I'm not really gonna leave the house but I'm going to clean it and do some christmas decorating and present wrapping. I didn't have this blog at this time last year but I think I might need to tell you one quick little fact...I'm obsessed with christmas. 

I'm not gonna lie, I have already put up my christmas tree and now i'm just counting down the days until the family-dinners and christmas partys start. 

*

Hey!!!!!

I'm still here..in England just wishing that the days will pass quicker but at the same time that the time will freeze. 

I kinda want to go home so that I can see my family and start the christmas decorating. I mean come on It's November now!! And that means christmas time all the time. 

I'm not gonna lie to you, I have done some christmas shopping here. I'm almost done with all presents and I did fine som really cute decorations that I want to put up. But since it's my sisters Birthday when I get back I think I might wait a week with the whole decorating thing. 

I don't really have time to decorate and wrap up her presents and do the washing. 

Anyway, even if I want to go home I kinda also want to stay here forever. Not here here as in Colchester but in the UK.. or more specifically London. 

London is just perfect! It's pretty, cool and it have some impressive shopping streets...Well that might be a bad thing if I'm going to live here. 

Well until I get home I think this is all I'm gonna say, so I guess I will tell you mor about my trip when I'm back home. 

p.s If you have any tips on places I can visit that are cool, pleas leave some tips bye commenting or some other awesome way of showing me!

If there is one thing I love in this world that I love except from my family, music and fashion, blueberry pie would be on top. 

And thats why I thought that I would share the recipe with you. 

What you will need: 

For 10 people

5dl - plain flour  

2dl - sugar 

1msk - vanilj sugar

1krm - salt

250g - butter

2,5dl - oats

1 liter - blueberries

Mix all of the dry ingredients together. 

Then cut the butter in to small piece and mix that in with the other ingredients. 

Make sure that it turns out crumbled. 

Then you should take out a pie-tin and put some of the dough in the bottom of the pie-tin. 

Then your next step is to pure in the blueberries and gently over it with the rest of the dough. 

You then put it in the oven for 20-30 minutes on 225C degrees celsius. 

Then serve the pie with ice-cream, vanilla visp or something of your choice.

All measurements are in Swedish but you can easily convert them in to your system.
