I have downsized my shoes after moving out. Most of my summer shoes are at home, and my favorite sneakers has been retired.
So a week ago, I went to XXL to buy vitamin bears 🙈 however we made a pit stop at the shoes section, and my bf found some shoes he liked. While browsing I also found some shoes I want and need.
So we both went out of XXL with each of our shoes and Vitamin Bears on hand 🙈
The inner sole has memory foam which is nice. Also this is a training shoe, but I have used this as my everyday shoe. It is very comfortable and I need comfortable shoes for my every day life that is easy to out on and take off 🙈😅 also it adds color to my wardrobe since all my shoes are in black 😅
I got some goodies from Japan. Cute Hello Kitty and My melody tissues. Hello Kitty plastic bags. Got a scrunchy and a hairclip (something I need btw) 🙈
I got Matcha (my fave) and strawberry pocky, chocolate filled biscuit, Calpis candies (which all tastes good), Calbee barbeque chips (which are also delicious).
I was so happy to see these. I also got egg and seaweed furikake! That is perfect since I am running out of furikake 😅
I like receiving things from abroad with goodies not found here 😁 I also like sending out goodies from Norway, but sometimes I feel like we have limited goods here 😔
I am stocking up on things to send to my friends, hopefully they will like what I will send 😊
My birthday was a month ago, and I was supposed to write this then. Unfortunately, I don’t have much free time now as I did before.
I have been 27 for almost a month now, and I honestly don’t feel any different. However, I’m 27! Getting closer to 30 😱
Anyways, as we grow older I have noticed that we get less and less gifts 🙈 I don’t really expect to get any gifts, but I do become very happy when I do 💕
From my BBF I received the mermaid teacup, tea, honey, honey dipper and tea infuser 💕
From my Japanese friend I received Pikachu face mask, which I have yet to try💕
From my co-buddy L I received the cute leaf necklace 💕
From my friends L and A, I received Nike tights. I have used the tights a lot since I got it. It’s pretty comfortable 😊
Please don’t pity me just because I received gifts from so few people. The lovliest gift I had was to go to Fangene på Fortet with most of my friends the day after my birthday. The time people gave me was the greatest gift they gave me. These days, meeting people for get-togethers is hard because of busy schedules. There were about 20 people who sacrificed at least 5 hours of their lives to celebrate with me 😁😁😁
I also got three other gifts from two more people 😁
I received a lovely gift from my SA! She’s the best, she’s very kind and helpful 💕 Everyone at LV Oslo are actually very kind and helpful 💕
She gave me a very lovely card holder 😍
I collect LV stamps, and the stamp on the card holder is gorgeous 🤩🤩🤩
The next two gifts are from me to myself 🙈🙈🙈
First one up is the newest Louis Vuitton perfume, Le Jour Se Lève.
I have been eyeing Contre Moi and Apogee for a while , but they weren’t really me type of smell, so I wasn’t willing to splurge on perfume. They cost a bit and it would be a waste if I bought a perfume that isn’t me. I am also not really a perfume type of person, I like have an almost empty bottle of Flowers by Kenzo from 6 years ago 😅
When I smelled this perfume at the event I was at, I fell in love! It reminded me so much of summer and citrus fruits. Also to be fair I had a glass of champagne at the event, so it was easier to buy things lol. Oh right I bought this a few days before my birthday, but chose to get it on my birthday 😂 I have been using the perfume every day btw 😁
Last gift from myself to myself is this cute bag charm. I got it right before Easter and I think it is so Easter-y. Loving the bunny tail a lot 🐰
Ever since I started studying at the university my life has been quite packed. Back when I was studying at Høyskolen Kristiania, we had no mandatory classes. It meant if I was too tired from work I could skip class.
When I started at the university, I found out we had mandatory Japanese classes every Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Which meant they may collide with my work schedule. I work Wednesday’s and Friday’s during my work week. On Monday’s classes started at 10:15AM, which meant that I had around 5-6 hours of sleep every Mondays. Why? Well, my shift finishes at around 1:30 in the night and it’s not always easy to sleep immediately after coming home from work.
Wednesday’s and Friday’s were the worst, partly because of me too! Our classes started between 12-2PM, and I can pretty much be assigned any kind of shift. So in order to be able to go to classes, I have been accepting shifts that starts between 4-4:30AM and ends between 11-11:30AM since September until December last year. It is exhausting! Lack of sleep and trying to learn a new language at the same time.
Since January however, I have been applying to get assigned to shifts that starts right after I finish classes. I don’t know why I didn’t think of it before. I have gotten them so far, except for today, I forgot to apply for a different shift, and was assigned an early shift today.
Let me tell you this, having an early shift when your body is used to having late night shifts is hard. I’ve had to pack my bag with things to munch on in case I get sleepy. I managed to stay awake during class.
Also the cold weather these past few days are horrible. It is painfully cold. Having my hands outside of my jacket for less than a minute results in my fingers being red!
I think I need to try to go to sleep now, I have classes tomorrow too
I did something I wasn’t supposed to do yesterday, go shopping lol
A week ago I was talking to my ever so kind SA from LV. The split collection is quite hard to get in Norway, since they are not a part of that collection. Anyways her colleague managed to get it for his client, buy if the client passed on it I am next in line.
On Wednesday, I received an SMS saying that the client didn’t want it and if I was still interested.
So yesterday, I went to Louis Vuitton. The SAs there are amazing. They are very kind and welcoming. Anyways, here is the lovely Split Pocket Organizer 💕
It is not reflective btw. I asked the SAs and they said they tested it. I haven’t though 🙈
The back pocket has the silver monogram as well! The inside is black. I’ll try to upload photos when I can of the pocket organizer.
I should regret buying this as I am supposed to save for Japan, but this piece is just gorgeous so I don’t regret buying it at all 🙈
Prince William and Duchess Catherine of Cambridge are in Norway at the moment for a royal visit.
Yesterday, I read that we commoners has a chance to meet them. So after class yesterday on my way home I decided to walk towards the palace instead. There were a few people there, and I saw a vacant spot at one of the fences and decided to wait there. I guess I was standing there from 14:15, and it wasn’t until around 15 that we started to see action.
Around 15, the royals walked out of the palace towards us. I have seen the Crown Prince and Princess of Norway on multiple occasions, but Prince William and Kate Middleton! Would never in my lifetime imagine seeing them.
A follower in IG pointed out how cool it is that they’re looking at the camera 🙈 But OMG they are so 😍😍😍 Kate Middleton is so classy and beautiful💕
After they walked past me, I waited with two other strangers for them to come back. Luckily, I did. I met my aunt randomly and we waited patiently.
They came back at around 15:45 and we still had the best place to stand in 🙈
Please excuse my face! I had little sleep and was quite tired 🙈
It was a great way to start the month if you ask me 😊💕
Hello! How has your January been? Mine has been hectic! I started the year working, then the day after picked up the keys to our new student housing! Moved almost everything by the end of the week!
The week after I was a buddy for international students, which was fun!
The week after that school started while I have been juggling work. Then I traveled to London with my sister, then to Paris alone!
So I still have one more exam left, an oral exam. However, I do not know if I will have it on Thursday or Friday.
In the meantime, I have been slowly packing my stuff from my room. It is unbelievably hard to pack away stuff. I have a lot of stuff I have put up on sale as well, but things are kinda slow these days. It is probably because it’s almost Christmas.
Why am I packing? Well, I will be moving out soon. I am finally being an adult adult. I will be moving out at the start of the year, which is pretty soon. Very soon actually.
I never thought that going back to school would make my schedule so hectic. University and College are two different things! I went to College for three years and was able to work, travel and study at the same time, but in University it is way more difficult to combine all of those things. We have mandatory classes, so traveling is not an option. For the past few months every Wednesday and Fridays I have started very early. Like 4-5AM early, which means I have been awake at 3 AM during those days. After that I go straight to school with a few minutes to spare. The rest of my days I use to sleep or work out, but mostly sleep. I don’t really have any spare days to be honest. When I get home, I am quite tired that blogging is not the first thing on my mind. I haven’t been near my computer for a long time too! It’s crazy!
I have one last exam though, which is an oral exam next week. I do have some free time now, for a while, but I kinda need to unpack my room. Guess what? I am moving out soon! Like January 2 soon 😛
