Instagram

Good morning darlings!

I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday, but I'm on palace that doesn't have any internet.. :( So, this weekend I won't be able to update very often, but on my instagram I try to update everyday, so if you notice I don't have posted anything on my blog, there's usually an update there. Mostly because it's easier to update there. I'll try to update a better post soon!

Water

I bet you've heard that water is SUPER important and that you should drink it all the time. And I've always thought that I drink when I am thirsty, period. Plus I have always been a fan of milk, I would drink milk all the time instead of water. But then I saw that a lot of fitness gurus and just fitness intresded people had replaced milk with Almond or Oat milk. So I tried that. I didn't like any of them that much, so I just used them in smoothies. You could say that I put myself on a milk interdiction. Instead of drinking the nut milk I drank water, not all the time, but I didn't drink anything but water (and smoothies.)

Then, a week ago, I drank a glass of milk. And you know what? I didn't like the taste, it wasn't amazing or anything. So, now, I basically don't drink milk at all. Sure, if we don't have nut milk or anything at home I have milk in my smoothies, but I don't drink plain milk. Milk is filled with calcium, which is good because you need calcium, but it isn't nessecary to drink milk every day. I do eat dairy, like greek yogurt (which contains protein and taste amazing.) I am completly fine with my beloved water, which make my skin look better and myself feeling better. Smoothies are amazing for your health as well, and fruit juices are completly natrual, so those two I drink sometimes as well.

But, don't forget that you don't ALWAYS have to eat healthy, eat that burger if yo crave that (not every week, but just.. Yeah ya know what I mean.) 80% healthy and nutritiuos, 20% whatever you want. For me, I do enjoy eating healthy more than eating french fries.

A lot of friends?

What is the definition of a friend? I mean, is it when you talk sometimes and meet everyday or is it when you hang out after school and in school? Really, what is a friend. A best friend for me is someone you trust, but I don't think you have to trust someone to be friends. Because if it is the first alternative, well, yeah, then I have like a lot of friends. But if it's the other alternative, then I have 5 or 6 friends haha.
But does that really matter? I think I'd rather have a few close friends than a lot of friends that talks with me only sometimes. Before I started this school I dreamed of having super duper lots of new friends, but I have realized that I don't need that. I need my closest friends, and then of course a few others, just to feel good and not alone. I would say that at least all of the girls in my class are my friends. I guess we have builded like gangs we are with, I usually hang with my closest friends and others hang with others. I guess that's quite normal. Of course everybody talks with everybody, but we still have our small gangs. Still, sometimes I feel like an outsider. For example today, I sat at a table (in maths class) with P and H we'll call them, both girls. And it was a guy called C as well at our table. And we worked individually, but P and H helped each other (they're not really from the same gang) with stuff, but I had to ask my best friend at the table next to our table. I guess that is a quite small thing, but still it is a bit annoying you could say.
I'll see you tomorrow!

Fall Fashion

I must say, the military gray wasn't my thing until this fall. I didn't like it at all, but now.. I love it! Especially with something wine-red, if you ask me it is the best combination this fall. And who doesn't love UGGs? Well I now I am truly, madly deeply in love with them anyways. My mom is in New York (she's working) and I have PLENTY of stuff I want from there, for example a pair of UGGs and a military green jacket.
I used to think that autumn wasn't fun or cozy at all, only waiting for the holidays and christmas. Well, this year I just SO love autumn and that is very much thanks to the fashion. And hot chocolate;) Now I can't wait for winter and dressing myself with a lot of outerwear, nice and cozy shoes and sweater. I really need more sweater, knitted ones, not those thick and hooded sweaters.
So here are a alternative for an amazing fall-outfit!

Raspberries, strawberries and pomegranate

Wow. That was a hard workout, and I'm only on week 2! First thing I did when I got home was to put on some workout clothes and put up the Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide week 2. I was absolutely NOT feeling for a workout, but I have a (for the first time in my life, working) schedule so today was leg day. After the workout I think I spent 10 minutes on the floor before I had energy enough to get up and shower haha. I am soo proud I made it through the WHOLE workout, not resting until the circuit was done.
I felt quite light headed even after I showered and wasn't feeling for eating anything. But, you know I  have to get some energy after a killer workout like that. The only thing I felt like having was a raspberry-smoothie. I had a very "mature" pomegranate so the first thing I did was mix the pomegranate seeds. Then I put in some frozen rasp and strawberries. I try to stay away from milk as much as I can but I put in a bit of milk and greek yogurt too because it wasn't enough liquid.
Aaand BAM! There you have the most amazing, full of vitamins, antioxidants and the most delicious smoothie ever. It is quite filling and a bit energy giving (before the smoothie I was almost falling asleep.)
Okay, I'll hear from you tomorrow!

Make Someone Happy❤

I've thought about something. Sometimes you can over exaggerate, like if you just gotten to know someone and then start texting; "I love you" "I miss you" "Can't wait for meeting you tomorrow" "Want to do something tomorrow.. and next day? and next day?"
You get what I mean ( I hope) and I've done it multiple times. After I've done something like that, I feel a bit awkward and embarrassed. The things that crosses my mind is "oh no, am I too much?" "maybe I am too pushing?" "they might think I'm kind of a stalker.." Haha, sounds kind of funny, but I can totally feel that sometimes.
But think about this: when someone texts you "I love you"- no matter if you just have gotten to know them or if you've known them your whole life - you get a smile on your face, right? My thought is that the ones that you've send the message to, also get a smile on their faces. I believe that everyone gets happy by being told something nice - wether it's a hug, a loving message or something caring and loving. We humans needs love, we need proximity and we feel good when we do something good.
If I get a message; "I love you, you are so fun to be with. I feel like I can trust you, though we've only have known each other in two weeks. You are beautiful, inside and out." I would be very happy, boot creeped or anything like that. So why would the one that I send one of those messages to be creeped? I think that the person would be just as happy as I would be. Make someone happy, love bomb them with things like this, I promise, they will be happy!❤

On my mind today..

I keep believing that it's Sunday, so tomorrow is Monday. But it's not! Which is good because I need one (or 7) day more before school starts again. It's like I barely can't imagine what it'll be like on Monday haha. I don't know how it will be but I hope and think it'll be fun, like it usually is. One of the girls, whom I feel I've come closest to, have been gone for 2 weeks and she's coming back now. I think it will be great to have her back. But, I keep remembering one of the pictures when she's sitting with all the other girls, me not with them. Luckily, I am part of the girl-gang so I'm just as in as she is. Now it probably sounds like I am competing with her, which I absolutely don't, just afraid of losing her :)
When I think about it I am going to ask her if she wants to do something tomorrow, I think that will make me loosen up a bit. Another friend, the one who I went trick or treating with, asked if I wanted to do something. I'm not so sure about it, I want to do something with a new friend, you know? I want to get to know the new ones more!

You want to know another fun thing?
I BOUGHT TICKETS TO THE ONE DIRECTION CONSERT TODAY! FRONT ROW!
I have been to three 1D conserts, one last year and two this year. And 2015, I am going to my first 5SOS consert plus a One Direction consert. I am sooo excited! The three nights I've been to the conserts has been three of the most amazing moments of my life.
I love them so much, but I don't know them. I dream of marrying one of them, but I first of all have to keep it real and also as I said I don't know them. But I so badly want to! And, it doesn't cost anything to dream. As the optimist I am, I can't help but think that I will.
I hear from you soon!
