So I officially had my school vacation on Thursday, June 14 4:30PM. But just because I have vacation from school doesn’t mean I have vacation.
My work decided to remove the over time restriction, so I have been working a lot since June 15 😝 I have only had Monday and Wednesday off this week. Next week I only have Tuesday and Thursday off!
So I have been a lot more busier than what I have initially planned 😭
I was able to meet and catch up with a friend of mine. We went to Starbucks, and yeah they mispelled my name even though I spelled it 😑
I will be going on short vacations, but as of now I will be working a lot. I’ll try to meet up with friends and family ❤️
I am on my way home and will try to sleep ASAP. Why sleep so early? Well, this lady just said yes to a shift starting 4:50AM tomorrow! Awesome right? 😭😭😭
Luckily I am exhausted. Weirdly enough a shift from 8-16 made me much more exhausted, than my shifts between 4-11. What’s positive about me being exhausted is that I probably will fall asleep faster. Because let’s face it sleeping around 9PM is early for someone who normally sleeps at 2AM.
Also take note, I do not know much on perfume notes and will just describe them the best I can.
The first perfume we saw was the L’immensité. Which has ginger and grapefruit in it’s notes amongst others. I loved the smell, but it does remind me of other brands’ perfume. I would definitely buy this for my boyfriend though 😛
The next perfume was the Nouveau Monde. It has a hint of cocoa and oud.
Personally, the strong was too strong for me.
The next fragrance is Au Hasard which has hints of sandalwood, cardamom and ambrette seeds.
This was one of the fragrances I was not a fan of. It was too strong for me.
The next fragrance is Orage with the blend of iris and patchouli. If I remember correctly I kind of liked the scent of this 😊
The last fragrance was Sur la Route which has a hint of Calabrian lemon, cedar and bergamot.
This one was something my brother and I liked very much.
Here are the fragrances together.
The fragrance my brother liked the most was the Sur la Route. I liked it as well, but I also liked L’immensité.
We didn’t buy any fragrances, yet. That’s because we both believe that before buying any perfume you have to try to see how it will smell on you. The same perfume can smell differently on people.
Hopefully, the Sur la Route smells good on him and for him. I might just buy him that if he wishes to 😊
I got my drivers license in 2015 at the age of 24. Prior to that, driving cars didn’t interest me. My uncle and my aunt gave me the driving package for my 18th birthday. I actually completed everything required except for passing the driving test itself. Shifting gears are my weakness, and embarassing as it is I failed a few times.
I never felt the burden of not owning a car or having a license until I started working with my current job. As I lived outside Oslo, I had to find ways to go to and from work on my own whenever I got shifts where there were no means of public transportation.
One day, I got the motivation to just get my drivers lisence. I just needed to re-take the written exam and take the driving exam again. So bought packages from prøve.no to practice with the questions and took the written exam. I passed, and I called my driving teacher who told me to book a practical exam before August 12. Why before that? The roads wouldn’t be as busy since the school year haven’t started yet.
I booked the earliest practical exam which was like a week after. The driving teacher wanted me to take automatic and not manual. Probably because he knows I still suck at driving manually. I practiced for a week non-stop. I did pass my practical exam 😁😁😁
Anyways, fast forward to March 2016. A day before my 25th birthday. I bought my first ever car, a Nissan Micra. It was from 2008, but it had a lot of life left.
Having a car made work life much more easier, I didn’t have any more restrictions on my shifts.
Funny thing btw, my car has received some damages, none of which were caused by me. A neighbor crashed into my car while it was parked. An aunt crashed my car somewhere when she borrowed it. The damages where light, not big bulks or anything.
I have gone to countless trips to Sweden, went on a road trip to Denmark with my car and visited family.
However, tomorrow I will be saying goodbye to it. When I started living in the city, I didn’t have any more use for my car. Also it’s quite expensive to own one. I went to have it’s annual service done last year, I had to pay 17000 NOK! That’s a lot of money.
So today, I cleaned my car and took it to a car wash. Poor things been covered in leaves and pollen.
So I went to Louis Vuitton today! I woke up to a text that my bag came in 😊
Funny thing, when I was inside the store I realized that I forgot my card with me 🤦🏻♀️ so embarassing, so I went back home and then back to the store with my card with me. Luckily, they understood but still embarassing.
I came back from the store not too long ago and without further ado, here is my wonderful Alma BB in Indigo.
I’ve been eyeing the Alma BB for quite some time now. The color I wanted, black and pink, is sold out. Indigo was the second color I wanted. The rose ballerine has crossed my mind, but I feel like it is too delicate and can get dirty fast.
I opted for the Alma in epi because I feel like it is a bit more discreet than it’s mono and damier counterparts.
I love that there is a hook on the handles specifically for the straps! I feel like this bag is going to be my go to bag in the future 🙈
I just finished my first exam for the semester and it did not go well. I will surely pass, but not get the best grade. I have myself only to blame though 😔
My brain went on a vacation as soon as our classes ended! Also I have been sleeping a lot. It is so hot here in Norway, and combine it with pollen allergy, so there you have sleepiness!
Yesterday, I went out. The weather was incredibly nice and I think I wasn’t home until 6PM 😅
I finally received the new phone cover I ordered from Ideal of Sweden.
I had previously owned a plastic cover with marbled print, but the print started to chip away.
I’ve been seeing ads for Ideal of Sweden on Facebook and instagram. It took a while before I decided to order it. It wasn’t until I saw the Hannalicious Collection that I decided to pull the trigger. I finally found the cover I wanted 😊
When I was in Warsaw, I went to one of my favorite stores, Louis Vuitton. I have since early 2017 grown an addiction to buying LV’s!
Louis Vuitton Warsaw can be found at a department store called Vitkac. I went to the store at 11AM, basically when they just opened. I feel like it is best to go there when they just have opened, because there might be fewer shoppers. The store is two stories high. At the ground floor was the luggage, some womens bags, slgs, belts, scarves and jewelries. The second floor had menswear and shoes and some more bags.
Here are some of the things I got from Louis Vuitton Poland 🙂
I got myself a Toiletry 19 🙂 I have been eyeing it from time to time, but it was never in my priority list. I knew I wanted a toiletry case from Poland. However they didn’t have the one I wanted. I asked for the toiletry, but all they had were big ones. Luckily, the SA who helped suddenly said ” Oh, wait we have one right here, the last one”. or something like that. It’s really nice and I think it is the best size.
The second items I got from Poland was the wonderful Polish Stamp of Chopin.
Before going to Poland I had a few tags with me. Luckily I have some friends who sent me tags for my future travels, so I was able to bring their tags with me on my spontaneous trip.
So when I was in LV, I asked the SAs if they had any special stamps, apparently they did not they said they only had letters. While getting some help from the SA who helped me with the toiletry, I asked her about the stamp and she was like “Yes! We have it!”. So she arraged for the tags I had to be stamped. Turns out she was the manager 🙂 I left my tags at the store, since they were very busy. I went to the park and then when I came back after and hour or so, the tags were stamped.
Here is my tag.
Here are all the stamped tags I have 🙂
The stamp really looks like the statue of Chopin!
It is one of the coolest looking stamp I have in my collection and I am ever grateful to Magdalena of Louis Vuitton Warsaw 🙂 I actually went back after I left the store just to thank her <3
