Done!!!

Finally, after nearly 8 hours of toiling (with several breaks included, of course), my room is all clean! I believe that it is fair that I now allow myself to do whatever I want for the rest of the day!
Here are some pictures for you guys.

 First up: the way my room looked before I started. Not too bad really, but as I had to clean it in order to complete my homework we might as well call it messy, otherwise I feel so accomplishednessless. Which now is a word.




Next I threw all the stuff from my desk on my bed....



... And then you realize you forgot to take pictures of the messiest point. *facepalm*

Aaaanyway, this is what it all looked like when things started to get better!






And now, the moment we've all been waiting for..... THE CLEAN ROOM!






Not bad, right? Unbelievable that this has taken so much effort really. Still, I'm happy that I did it because my room looks very good right now and I finished my homework. Or well, part of it: I will also have to do the laundry, clean the bathroom, do the dishes and cook for a week in order for my teacher to give me a sufficcient grade, and, seeing how she hates me, it still won't be a high grade. Nothing to be done about it I guess!

This was it for today, hope you guys enjoyed my mind-numbing posts at least a little bit, and I'll write again soon! (I think.)

The end is near!

Finally my room starts to look better, and I believe that I will need just one more session to finish it! Pictures are probably coming in the next post.
My nightstand is completely done, and so are two out of my three beddrawers. My desk is cluttered with stuff that I got out of my closet - which now is clean - and I'm busy sorting it. Taking a fifteen minute break, and then I'm going in for the final lap!

Noon.

Twelve o'clock it is. Been cleaning for fours hours now, and there are small bits of improvement!
Two boxes full of memories have been put away, as I don't need them in my room, my bed drawers (where the majority of my junk thrives) have all been emptied and cleaned, and before writing this I was busy trying to put stuff in logical categories.

Lunchtime now, I'll continue afterwards. Wow, I honestly didn't think it would take me this long! But hey, at least I can be sure that I did my job well.

Two hours of cleaning....

... And I have accomplished to make my mess messier. This never seems to be avoidable, but is nonetheless really demotivating. I will continue though! Up to now I have succeeded to throw everything (including my laptop, so I'm typing this while sitting on the ground) from my desk and nightstand, cleaned them (plus my chair), and now all there is on my desk is my lamp. At least one part of my journey is complete. =')

Soon I will continue, but first it's time for a second breakfast, because I know for a fact that we have grapes and I love grapes.

Probably posting pictures at the end of the day, of how my room started out and how it gradually became better untill it was all perfect.
...
A girl can dream, right?

Twelve o'clock another update will arrive!

Challenging myself.

Good morning darlings!

I woke up around 6.40 this morning, and I couldn't fall back asleep. That's when I started to make my to-do list for the weekend. One of the things on the list was writing an article for my blog, as that's very needed.
Then I got an idea, really random and out of nowhere: I could write an article every two hours, that way I have a load of new posts on my site, and I probably turn out to push myself to do things from my list, just so that I can share them with you guys!

I'm just going to try it, if it doesn't work that's just too bad, but if it does that'd be great, right?
First up: cleaning my room. This actually is homework, because one of my crazy teachers decided that she'd need some proof that we can do this. Do not even bother asking, I don't get it either.

Of course I'll try to post nailpolish posts, but I've been really lazy with my nailpolish lately, so not too much fancy stuff, but I'll see what I can come up with today!

That's it for now, I'll be back in two hours. Have a great day!

Happy New Year!

Yes, I do realize that we're almost halfway through our first month, but who cares? ^-^
Fireworks! 
My year has started rather good, a nice long christmasbreak and lots of attempts to keep to my new year's resolutions.
Of course, my nails are part of my new year. One of my resolutions is to post every single naillook I make on here! Unfortunately the camera on my ipod isn't that great, but it's the thought that counts, or at least, that's what I tell myself.

So basically, I started this year with my French manicure from the year before.

O.P.I. Alpine Snow, Paris Memories UV-Light Topcoat
As you can see, they were a tad chipped, which is the reason that I polished them again the next day.
My nails started out like cute, short, brown nails...
.... but after painting them, I still had the polishbug, so I decided to put some nailart on them. This is what it looked like after that:

O.P.I. Natural Basecoat, Herôme W.I.C. Johannesburg 72, O.P.I. Alpine Snow, O.P.I. Top Coat
It's rather hard to see, but on the side of each nail there is a white rose, and I must say that I'm very happy with the way it looks. However, tomorrow this look will be removed and it'll make place for something else. Thinking about doing a similar look, but this time the other way around; a light base color with a darker color on top. The pictures will be on here later on, so you'll see what I've decided to do by then!

Some music I discovered this year:
Say You Like Me - We The Kings
God Damn You're Beautiful - Chester See
That Girl - David Choi

Well, that was the first post of  '12, hope you enjoyed it!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is another day, and I have to get up early!

Oh, and a shoutout to Danai, my best friend since forever, as I know that she's pretty much the only one reading this blog: Heel erg bedankt voor het er-altijd-zijn, de leuke brieven en herinneringen, en moge er van beide nog veel veel meer komen!

Okay, now I'm REALLY done ^-^

Life.

Long time no update, as always.
This is just a teeny tiny post to tell you guys what's up at the moment.
Today I received my first report card, it was rather good! After that I got to go home, and my christmas break officially started.
All I have been doing is talking to friends, drooling over gorgeous clothes I can't afford and listening to music, and I'm loving it!
Now I've decided to do something 'useful', which means that I'm clearing out the bookmarks I've made on the internet through time. Ought to be intresting.
So yeah, that's what is going on.
Hope you guys are doing as good as I am, and hopefully I won't be too lazy to actually put up a decent post sometimes soon!

Happy Halloween!

Bit late, I know, but yesterday I completely forgot to upload a picture of my halloween nails...
Forgive me? =)
Anyway, here it is:

Frankenstein nails! I thought it was rather creative, as I'd usually just paint my nails orange or something similar. Going to keep these nails until friday, then there is some sort of fright night close to where I live, and after that the brainbreaker 'birthday nails' is coming up... Yes people, the ninth of November, it'll be my sweet sixteen! Looking forward to it already =) Ideas for birthday nails are very welcome, in case anyone even reads this. I sure hope so!
Now it's time to do something useful.
Haha, who am I kidding, I'm just going to procrastinate and celebrate autumnbreak ^.^

I've been shopping....

.... and I came home without any money, but with everything I needed to have!

I now have a new pair of boots, jeans, sunglasses, sweater-ish thing, AND a superawesome macdonalds balloon. We didn't eat anything there though, one of my friends just went in to get a cup of coffee and a donut, and then I saw the balloons and yeah... Let's just say that on our way home we got several stares because of our awesome balloon fights.
The sweater was a gift by the way! An early birthdaygift, given to me by someone I have known for not even two weeks, how amazing is that? So happy with it ^.^






Now that I look at it, I bought LOTS of black stuff!
Explanation: black boots go with everything, didn't have black jeans yet and again, those go with everything, needed sunglasses which usually are black, and the sweater thing just was a coincidence. Pretty sure that's spelled wrong. Whatever.

Okaaay, that was it. Going to try and do something useful now, been trying to do that for the past couple of days, not my strongest point so wish me luck!

Go Eva!

I actually did something good.
I started cleaning out my laptop. Keyword being started of course!
But I started, and thát is the important part.
It's way faster now (ok, at least a little bit), and I don't have the problem of doubleposting pictures on here, because I removed every single one of them from my laptop and put them on dvd, so I don't have them clogging my laptop's speed. Smart huh? ^.^

So here are two new pics. My nailpolish at the moment: 36 Enchanted Fairy by Essence.
It's an adorable color on my relatively short nails. They are short because this week I'm helping out in a kindengarten-school-thingy.
You see, my school has this thing that you go and stay a week at a working facility in which you are interested. Some people from my class are working in a tattooshop, others in a flowershop, another one is doing something concerning trucks etc. This way you can see if you'd like to do a similar job later on in your life.
I wasn't really interested in working with kids, but those Swedish kids are só adorable! I honestly had fun today, and will probably have a lot more fun this week. The reason I got this 'job' (for which I don't get paid, just to be clear here) is because I couldn't find anything myself, so my teacher got me this job...

I'm trailing off. Short nails. Yes. I have them, because I was afraid that I might injure the little kids I work with and that they'd whine and that their parents would take me into court for child mutilation. Or something like that. Yeah.

Okay that's it, again. Hope you have a great day!
