Because February is the month of love.

I love February. Because it usually means that my man brings home a bouquet of roses for me and we spend a lovely evening together. I can't wait for the 14th!
Happy February!!

Does anybody else enjoy randomly editing pictures as much as I do?

When I am bored, I edit my pictures. Anybody else love playing around with editing programs an changing the mood of your photos?

The Blogscar Awards

Guys, I couldn't believe my eyes this morning when I saw that Miss Janette is hosting The Blogscars. As in, The Oscars for Bloggers. And I am nominated!! For Foreign Blog / Non-US Resident Blogger.
Can you believe that?! Thank you so much, Janette, for putting me in between all these awesome bloggers.

Since chances of me winning an Oscar are pretty slim...or rather non-existent...I'd really like to win a Blogscar.
The competition is fierce, but you guys can vote for me!
Just go to Janette's blog and vote there. But since the polls seem to have a little mind on their own and don't always show up, you can vote for me right here as well!

Voting is open until February 20th, so you have enough time to vote for me every day!

Home alone.

Friends, I am currently living the wild single life.

No worries, all is well with Bedis and me. He is on a little work related thing for this week and the next, which means that I have the whole apartment to myself for a while.

Also, when I say that I am living a wild life, I mean that I go to bed at 10 and get up at 7 to write on my paper for Uni. I am such a party animal.
BUT I am finally getting somewhere with my paper. There were moments today, where I thought that some points I made were so good that I wish I could high-five myself. Well, I could high-five myself...but technically that would be clapping...and I think that applauding myself would be a bit too much.
So I rewarded myself with a bubble bath and a hot chocolate instead.

Even better than a high-five.


PS: I think everybody is aware that picnik.com is closing in April? I know that is sad, but do you know about pixlr.com? It's what I use to edit my pictures for quite a while now and it is fantastic! It is completely free and reminds me a little of photoshop. It also has this awesome feature called pixlr-o-matic (or something?) that easily gives your photos a vintage look. I used in on the picture above and I seriously love it. (Go to this post to see the original.)

Lately.

1.  Rocking my study outfit: oversize sweater, tights and warm sockes. Comfiest outfit ever.

2. Reading The Help. I know I am late on this one, but it is so good. I wish I could read this book all day, but unfortunately there is a paper that needs to be written.

3. Trying to be artsy with the reflection of our fairy lights in the window. Didn't really turn out how I wanted it though.

4. By the way, the Christmas decorations? Still up.

5. I love my new bow sweater.

6. Listening to Boy a lot.



7. We are currently drowning in candy. For Christmas, we got a box with 4kg of Haribo. And lots of chocolate. My family knows me well.

I am boring.

The other day, I sat my lazy butt down on the couch, getting ready to watch some Greys Anatomy, when the laptop suddenly decided to stop working and broke down.
I took that as a sign that I should finally start working on that dang paper that I have lying around for months.
And that is what I did. Are you proud of me??

Anyways, that is why it's gotten a little quiet around here.
No great and exciting things are happening right now. Except that I tried parting my hair differently than I usually do. (Turns out the butt part is not working for me.)
And that's as exciting as it gets around here at the moment.

Oh wait, there's one thing. I bought new shoes. Pretty!

It's still Christmas over here.

It's January...which means that I should be taking down our Christmas decorations now.

I don't think that I ever was this sad about Christmas being over. I usually can't wait for summer as soon as Christmas is over, but not this year.

So for now, I refuse that Christmas is over.
Today, I am going to fully enjoy and breathe in the last bits of Christmas before all the pretty decorations and lights get taken down: I'll finish my book (Divergent. It is awesome) while being all snuggled up in a blanket and jammies, put some Christmas music on, with lots of candles and fairy lights in the background. And maybe I'll throw in a hot chocolate or two.
Man, I'm such a rebel.
