I ♥ 90s




I was feeling a bit sentimental
and decided to share with you
my love for 90s!=)

I was born in 1985 so 90s remind me
of my childhood and teenage years.
When I look at some pics now from
back then I get a classical: 'What was I thinking?!'
but I think that's the charm of getting old lol

Remember Beverly Hills 90210?
The original one?
Oh, I used to watch every episode:)
All the drama lol
And I had a secret crush on Dylan hehe





Dawson's Creek belongs to late 90s
Loved it as well.
This time I had a crush on Pacey lol
Funny that I always fancy rebellious
characters. Yeah, that didn't change:)




MTV used to be different back then.
There was actually lots of music.
Because today what hits me
is that MTV is full of reality shows
and hardly ever plays music.




Ok, I gotta admit I love also 90s cheesy music lol
It needs to be said out loud=)





What about you guys?
Is there anything you miss about 90s?

Self-help?? :>


I must admit that I'm a sucker
for self-help books. But not the ones
that tell you how to become happy in 2 days
or 7 habits of highly effective people etc. LOL

I believe that being happy in life
is a long term process.
It can't happen overnight.
But we can learn how to improve
our life by applying little changes.

I read 'Psychologies' magazine
from time to time.
And I found this little booklet
attached to February issue.



I was skeptical at first but as
I ran through the pages I found
lots of easy ways that inspire me
to change something in my life.

These are the chapters:



I wanted to share a couple of
things that I've done already
or I'm planning to do.
















At the end of every chapter there's space to
jot down your own ideas.



I'm not really big on New Years resolutions
but turning 25 and recent events in my life
made me think that I'm the one in control of my life.
And it's up to me how satisfied I am.

Hope this post isn't useless.
I know it's random
but I felt I wanted to share it with you guys.

I love your comments!
It always make me feel so special
when somebody leaves me
a bunch of warm words:)

Anybody read anything interesting recently
and wants to recommend it?

try sleeping with a broken heart



Me and my boyfriend decided to finish our
relationship after 4,5 yrs and the last
year engagement..:(

Sometimes love is not enough.

Ah.. I've never been with anybody for
so long and he was so much more than
'just' a boyfriend. He was my best friend.

Sorry if it sounds dramatic
but it literally is the most difficult
thing that I ever had to do.

Especially when my BDay and Valentines Day
is just around the corner.

I wish there was a quick fix
to a broken heart.




Sorry for the randomness of this post.

Love,
Stella

hitting 25:>




Next Thursday, the 11th Feb is
my 25th Birthday.
It's funny cos I normally never pay that much attention
to my birthdays but this one sort of hit me:
I'M BECOMING 25! lol

That's what I found online about becoming 25:

By the 25th birthday most people expect
to have accomplished something with their lives.
There’s only five more years until that big three-O
and the average person usually hopes that
they are well on their way by their 25th year.
They’ll have settled into a place of their own,
a job and may even be starting a family all ready.
Some new twenty-five year olds might be thinking that
they want their party to be a little more grown-up,
a little more sensible around this time.

Yeah, what do I know?
I'm starting uni this september :)
so no settling down for me LOL

No, seriously becoming 25 made me
realise that I don't regret anything.
I really enjoy my life.
And I think that's an important conclusion.

Anyway, to celebrate getting older,
I have a huge birthday haul
coming up:
MAC, Lush and The Body Shop.
YAY!

So stay tuned :)
I don't feel 25.

But another question is:
do I look 25?

Please be gentle LOL



Love,
Stella

blah





Today I feel a little down.
It's not the end of the world
but Im not my usual 'happy' self.

Maybe its the weather.

Or the fact that I have a little cold.
Or lots of stuff that I need to do for collage
and all I can do is hanging out in front of my laptop.
I dunno.

I figured out that's the video
that always helps me during days like that.

It just cracks me up!




I love Friends.
I started giggling like a child:)

What are you ways to survive days like that?

feeling good



I am so grateful for
my 49 followers!


For some it might not seem a lot but for me it is lol
Thank you guys for stopping by,
for the support and comments.
It means a lot to me.
When I started my blog back in October,
I never thought I could get that far :)

I also got a new camera.
It's Nikon Coolpix S630.
And my Dad got me the cutest little pouch to protect it.






So I'll be able to make better quality pictures
because my older one really sucked.





I'm going back to college tomorrow and I feel SO lazy!
Somebody help!! LOL
Have so much to do and still can't force myself to get to work.
Blah


Currently listening to:





Jill Scott is freaking amazing.
Love her voice and the positive vibe she' sending out.

So once again huge thank you guys for reading my blog!

Till the next time!

musical ecstasy:>




Today I got a new Alicia Keys' album
"The element of freedom" and I'm loving it!
Especially song 'Love is blind'!!
OMG Her lyrics are so powerful!
I'm hooked:>
And 'Empire State of Mind part II'
O la la ladies!
'A must' for me!




Funny, this morning I was digging desperately in my wardrobe in search of some scarf
and I found these earrings that I bought in H&M 4 years ago!
I was never happier to see them:>
They remind me of times when I lived in Sweden
and I used to go to H&M like every second day as it's a Swedish label, they're really
popular there. In Stockholm's centre on every street corner there's H&M!
I loved it!





These earrings are made for winter!

And it's started snowing today:)
I forgot how much I enjoy the snow!

Till next time!

christmas spirit






I think I finally started to feel upcoming holidays.
College is about to end and I'm flying home on Monday.
Xmas make me feel like a child again, it reminds me of simpler times:)
I've done the shopping but TV adverts make me feel that maybe I haven't done enough.
Do you ever feel pressured to shop?
Is that the commercialised Christmas magic?

I love Xmas but what I enjoy the most are the preparations.

Hope you all will have an awesome time!

shake it ;>




I was just thinking how difficult is to stay positive and optimistic when you wake up early in the morning for college/work/school, you look outside the window and its gloomy/rainy/freezing/dark. It makes me want to come back to bed:)

I found a perfect solution for that:
put some energetic music on, something that immediately makes you wanna shake that booty, dance or simply smile and let the music take over your body.
Let it flow with it. Stretch your muscles, jump a little or dance like there's no tomorrow! It can only be a couple of minutes. One or two songs.
But it really works- it makes you awake and ready to start the day with some positive vibe:D

These are some of my fave tunes:
  • Just Dance - Lady Gaga -> although Im still no getting her, this song makes me dance,
  • Smooth Criminal - MJ -> such a classic,
  • Bootylicious (Rockwilder Remix) - Destiny's Child,
  • Can't hold us down - Christina Aguilera -> that's right ladies!
  • Hush, hush - Pussycat Dolls,
  • Like I love you - Justin Timberlake ->that song always makes me shake it;>
  • Music- Joss Stone -> this one inspires me,
  • Shoulda let you go- Keisha Cole,
  • So what- Pink,
  • SOS- Jordin Sparks,
  • Get together- Madonna,
  • YMCA- Village People-> C'mon, I know its tacky but I cant help it!


That is just what works for me but I'm sure you could come up with something that makes you feel great and gives you a powerful start of the day!
