Rocking hair

Home again, at last.

Check out my new hair! As my locks tend to grow in very rapid speed I'm expecting to have my old look back in about three weeks time, but in the mean time I'm enjoying myself.

This little trick is to demonstrate how different it looks with some minimal adjustments.

It's like being a blood elf really.

Thierry Mugler: Alien EdP

I have tried to find the perfect perfume for me for a small eternity now. I wanted it to be deep, rich, complicated, mysterious, a bit dark and overwhelming... And it has to last on my skind forever. Don't you just hate it when most things you put on just vanish in the air in 30 minutes? And really vanish, disappear, so no-one can smell it?

So, after months of back and forth and trying on Thierry Mugler's Alien, I finally decided to get it for myself.

What an extraordinary bottle!

Sephora.com describes Alien's notes: "Solar Accord, Jasmine Sambac, Green Notes, Cashmeran, Vanilla, Transparent Amber". The solar accord part is just nonsense, but the rest of the notes are just to my liking. It is exactly what I was looking for. And get this: the bottle and the adverts and the name are all about science fiction - it is so me. AND my man actually likes it too. That is very rare, he usually dislikes or can't make up his mind, so it's a big deal if he actually likes a scent. :D

Alien is so intense that you really gotta be careful with that. 1-2 sprits is the absolute max, no joke. It's just on the verge if it's headache inducing or not, for me, not. It wants to suck you in and propably eat your brain, so you gotta be in control of it. It's an interesting scent too - it can be warm or cool, fresh or sugary, depending on your mood, the atmosphere and what you want it to be. So amazing!

Looks a bit like Kosh screaming from Babylon 5. Also reminds me of World of Warcraft zone Netherstorm... So sci-fi!

P.s. 6 reasons why I’m dumping my iPhone for a Nokia N900. :P I don't have an iPhone, but I would really love to have Nokia N900.

Two becomes one

Hola! The year ended and started, so happy New Year everyone! I haven't made any promises last year, so I will continue this and promise absolutely nothing.

I've been on different places during Christmas and the following celebrations, I have had very little clothing with me. Mostly black dresse and tunics (Got three of them with me) which I switch bac and forth, plus tons of woolen tights, black and gray cardigan and Thelma wedges. With these I have been able to dress myself for the past two weeks.

I have also straightened my hair from time to time!

And look what I did with my cardigans. Be amazed, optical illusion when two becomes one!
