Linnea Olsson

 

Hello everyone!
 
The last couple of days I've been kind of relaxed and thanks to a very great website AND app called '3voor12' I managed to scoop some great new artists, such as Seams, Alberta Cross, Linnea Olsson and Cheek Mountain Thief. In this case Linnea Olsson caught my eye. Linnea is a singer-songwriter from Sweden, cellist by Ane Brun. Her album 'AH!' has 11 songs, starting of with 'The Ocean'. It's a bitter sweet symphony, the sound of a cello by her. Very dreamy and catchy. It works when you're upset about something or when you need to sit down and relax. The rest of the album is like that as well, turning reality into fading dreams.

I realised singer-songwriters are - to me - the most kind of honest musicians you will ever meet. No pressure, just their thing and own sound. Most of them stay true to their own voice and abilities, waving the companies goodbye as they tell you what to change if they want a record. Strong, independent artists that are now getting more and more asked to be on festivals such as Leeds, Reading, Pinkpop, Lowlands and so on. I recommend listening to her if you're into the singer-songwriter and hit me up if you want more.

I hope everyone's weekend is being well and enjoy the rest of it! I hope you guys like it someway or another, and I'm curious what your normal habits are, so leave them in the comments!

Lots of love xo

Formosa & Decenarios

1. Formosa Pomegranate Green Tea 2. Decenarios bracelets

Hello again!  Today I went shopping with my mother to a really nice store to get things for school again and some other make up, accessorizes and whatever I run in to. Today I basically came back with a bag with a lot of things, such as deodorant, fine liners for school, pencils, textbooks, make up brushes and dark chocolate M&Ms. Though, these too really did catch my eye; the green tea and the decenario bracelets

Formosa Pomegranate Green Tea
Always curious and very fond of green tea, I had to try this. It came in a really nice bottle and I really liked the outlay. Usually bottles like Fanta and Coca Cola are only filled for half; this green tea was filled until the lid! (ALWAYS GOOD, THE MORE THE BETTER) Next to this one there was another variant but I am not sure whether it was Peach Green Tea or Lemon Green Tea... Hmm maybe next time? It's unusually nice to drink, especially with the warm weather. IF you run into this; buy it! If you don't have it, just buy Green Tea anyways because it's yummy for the tummy and good for your health. The Japanese already knew centuries ago that green tea is good for the body and for the mind. The drink contained pure first quality superior tea from Japan and Taiwan!

Decenarios bracelets

The bracelets caught my eye because I can spend hours at the jewelry and quirky other things! I found these and for what I had to pay... Nothing! (€0.68 at Action). Now let me explain, because I did some research! These bracelets are originated in South America and Spain and made famous by Shakira at the World Cup 2010. Basically, thanks to Shakira they became more and more popular! 'Decenarios' are knotted rosary bracelets, wearable around your wrist and ankle. Both woman and man can wear them. They can also be used as chaplets, and in some communities these are even given away during religious rituals. Each colour has it's own meaning, in this case I have Turquoise, Purple, Lavender, Pink and Light Blue: Clarity/Concentration, Inner Strength, Romance/Happiness, Consolation/Comfort & Reconciliation.

The Meaning of Decenario bracelet colors:
White: Friendship, Purity
Green:  Health, Ambition, Go-Getter
Yellow: Energy, Increase Creativity
Red:  Love, Passion, Courage
Pink: Consolation, Romance
Brown: Concentration, Stability, Strength 
Grey: Wisdom, Faith
Orange:  Success, Attraction, Happiness
Light Blue:  Reconciliation, Health, Tranquility
Dark Blue: (Self) Confidence, Knowledge
Turquoise:  Recharge spirit, Clarity, Concentration
Purple:  Inner Strength, Control, Luxury
Light Purple: Romance, Nostalgia 
Black:  Balance, Power, Elegance
Rainbow:  Immense Beauty, Promise, Hope

I hope you guys like them and might consider buying them too because they're adorable and cute and wearable with everything. You don't even have to believe in the meanings of them, that's up to you. I will see you soon darlings, take care!

Lots of love xo

Bitter sweet

1. My face in the mornings. Shirt from the Primark 2. heart/arrow necklace, you simply connect it by pulling the arrow through the heart {how thoughtful!} 3. Snake ring {Comes from 'kijkshop', the necklace too 4. WELIKEFASHION.COM 5. New shoes I ordered at welikefashion, from friis company. Love love LOVE them.

This is basically what I have been up to: shopping. Whether it's online or in town, I love it. Despite I spend my money rather on comics, I am very happy with the new things I bought over the summer. Since I don't have a job, I am not used to buying things but my work for the schoolboard paid off very well, just as the celebration of my 18th birthday! I've never been a quite spender but I know where to find amazing things for {almost} nothing. It's something wise I've learned from my mother; how to spend money without spending too much money. Anyways, hope you all have been fine!

Lots of love xo

Surprise in the basket

This is Napoleon, my sweetheart. The light of my life. She was hiding in the basket because my mother was going to shower her. She kept moving around so I couldn't steady for a picture. Anyone else here with a pet that's very dear to them?
