Miniature clay figures

About a year ago, I started one of my new hobbies, which is making figures and designs inspired by japanese accessories. it involves making (or at least attempting to make) real life miniature food and sweets out of clay. You can make phone straps, keychains, magnets and use the figures to decorate boxes, i-pods, frames and so on (^u^)/ It's really fun to make! And it's nice to have cute, homemade accessories. Or at least I think so (<-<``)
      Well, here are some of the stuff I've made.

Frames, keychains/phonestraps and one of the many magnets I've made.

January is almost over, and I'm all into my new year resolution's. Which include drinking 2 liters of water a day, avoid unhealthy food and exercising more. Wow, it's really an original resolution, right?
     Although I'm not that into new year resolutions, it can't hurt to improve my lifestyle.

                               So, this weekends snacks are...

      ... fruit salad sprinkled with walnuts and dark chocolate \(^u^)/

For all those makeup fanatics out there, I really recommend these makeup brushes from Sigma.
     I got them myself for christmas, from my boyfriend.
The brushes are reeally soft, and makes applying makeup more hygienic and precise. Becides, they are waay cheaper than other brand brushes, but they have the same quality.

Homemade nails!

Sounds good, right?.........
Well.. for us "short nail girls", it is good news! This is my second attempt at sculpting own nails, and I'm pretty happy with the result (^o^') My first attempt was done with blue glitter tips, but I don't have pictures of that.

Have a happy new years tomorrow!

Snow <3

I've had a really great christmas, as always. It's always nice spending some quality time with friends and family. Eating good food, relaxing, and basically enjoying yourself. We even got a white christmas!

Since we've already got alot of snow this winter, a couple of friends asked us to go out to enjoy it. It was around - 15 degrees. Despite the cold, the sun was shining, and the landscape looked really pretty!

We went sliding in the snow. Marte and I went really fast down a hill, without noticing a jump at the bottom... Luckily I don't have any pictures of that..

I do have pictures of us enjoying our healthy lunch (^u^)/

 

めちゃさむい！

As the title obviously sais, it's extremely cold! Well, it might not be extremely cold, but it sure feels like it's -20 degrees when the wind blows at you outside.
     Nothing much has happened this week, but I've been busy preparing things for christmas, like presents, decoration, and I've also baked with my mom and my sister. I've also got to work more.
     My sister, her husband and their daughter have come to visit us during the holidays. Tomorrow we are going to play yet another round of talisman together, I'm looking forward to that! :)
     Yesterday, Joachim and I bought a christmas tree, which we decorated early this morning.

My sister made us beautiful christmas decoration last year.

 

 

Talisman

Yesterday we gathered a couple of friends and played the game Talisman. A fantasy themed board game. It was fun, and ofcourse - I won (^u^)/

 

My package has arrived! \(^o^)/

I've never been able to grow long nails, nomatter what kind off products I've used to strengthen my nails. I've tried using fake nails which you basically attach to your nails with glue. But these nails are bad for your natural nails, and they don't look to good on either. So for a long time now, I've wanted to get gel/acrylic nails done, but concidering it's very expensive (and you also need to fix them at the manicurist  every 4th week or so), I haven't given myself "the permission" to use that much money on myself. And who needs long nails anyway?!
.....but recently I've checked up the possibility of sculpting your own nails yourself..and after researching alot I discovered different kinds of "do it yourself" kits, waaay cheaper than if you would do it at a professional on a regular basis. It also looks very fun to do different color/design variations to make your original nail art (^u^)
     So last week I ordered a acrylic nail kit from nail4you . Today my package arrived!

I'm not going to bother explaining how you fix your nails with this equipment, but if your interested to know you can always browse videos at youtube. Just search for "acrylic powder nails" or something..

I'll post an entry when I've tried it out.
