I just booked my flight to England and I will be moving there on the 29th of August! I can't tell you how excited I am! This is really happening. I will probably do some blogpost surrounding my packing and stuff like that, stay tuned!
Now moving on to the original reason for this blogpost, the Get to Know Me Tag part II.
13. Have you been out of the country?
Yes, I have been, a lot of times. I have been to almost all of Europe, for example: Turkey, Greece, Austria, England, Denmark (I have family here, so I have been here many times), and once we took a road trip down to Croatia, so we went to a lot of counties on that trip. Then I also been to Thailand and USA, outside Europe.
14. Do you speak any other languages?
I speak kinda like 2,75 languages. I speak Swedish (of course), English, half Spanish and a quater German. And then can I understand Danish and Norwegian, but thats because its so similar to Swedish.
15. Do you have any siblings?
Yes, I have one brother, his name is Oskar and he is 17 (How did he get so old!?). He is absolutely the best! Trust me on that.
16. What's your favorite store?
This is a hard one for me, but I often shop in H&M and in a Swedish store called Gina Tricot. Then I also love Monki, even though I don't have a store close to me.
I just realized that all the stores are Swedish... I just guess I am a real Swede ;)
17. Favorite restaurang?
I dont have a favorite restaurang, it is quite sad, but we dont really have that many restaurants in my small town, if you doesn't count Mc Donalds that is...
18. Do you like school?
I cant say I like it, or liked, Im not really in school anymore. But I liked everything except the learning-and-getting-tons-of-homework-and-I-mean-literally-tons-of-homework-part. But I love the part that you hang out with friends all day, that you meet new people, all of that stuff.
19. Favorite YouTubers?
At the moment I am really loving these people:
Vivianna, or Anna from viviannadoesmakeup:

And then I have to take one that is a little less famous then the others, but I absolutely adore her:
Alix, from icovetthee:

20. Favorite movie?
First, why are they so many hard questions!? Second, I dont really know my favorite film. I love A Walk to Remember, and before I would have said that is my favorite movie, but since then I have seen a lot of great films. A couple of examples: the Avengers, Friends with Benefits, and of course, the Hunger Games.
21. Favorite tv-show?
Just a couple: Vampire Diaries (come back with a new season!), Pretty Little Liars, True Blood, Gossip Girl, and recently I have been obsessed with Awkward!
22. PC or Mac?
MAC!! All the way! I am an Apple-freak! ;)
23. What phone do you have?
Like read above, I am an Apple-freak (told you!), so I have an iPhone 4.
24. How tall are you?
I am 170 cm, which is the same as 5'7, I think...
That was all the questions, I will get better with updating, I promise, I just have been really stressed out lately..
Take care lovelies! x

A Review: The Body Shop - Vitamin E Nourishing Night Cream
Recently I have been in desperate need of a new moisturizer. So on my way home from the states I picked up this moisturizer:
The night cream itself comes in a tub with the pink color like all the other products from the Vitamin E line. I have never tried any of the Vitamin E stuff from the Body Shop, but I was happily surprised.
It have a very light, clean smell, that can probably smell perfume-y to some people. The product as a whole feels very luxurious, at least of you compare it to the price.
The cream is a very light, almost white, pink color. It is quite thick and very moisturizing.
My skintype isn't particularly dry, even though I would consider it more dry than oily. I often need a heavy moisturizer or my skin can end up looking a little bit dull.
With this moisturizer I wake up actually feeling moisturized, I can't say my face looks glowing or radient when i wake up, but I can feel that the moisturizer have done it's job.
I would recommend trying this is you have similar skin as I, or if you just have a face that is in need of moisture. But if your the kind of girl (or boy) that is looking for something to make your face radient, this isn't for you.
Have you ever tried any of the moisturizes from the Body Shop? Do you recommend any?

Get to Know Me - Tag (part I)
So, as I promised last night, here is a tag for you to get to know me:
1. Do you have a middle name?
Yes, my middle name is Alexandra, funny story: Before I was born, my dad was sure I was a boy, and they where going to name me Alex, but when he realized he was wrong, they decided to name me Alexandra, as a middle name, so I got a part of Alex in me anyway.
2. What is/was your favorite subject in school?
This is a hard one. I did read a lot of math in high school (or gymnasium, like we call it here), but I dont think that is my favorite subject. I really liked psychology. I think its interesting how the mind works, and how different things can affect people. So I really enjoyed studying that.
3. What is your favorite drink?
As the soon-to-be-Englishmen, I should answer this question with tea, and although I LOVE tea, I dont know if its my favorite drink. I like a lot of drinks actually, I love ice tea, orange juice, lemonade (discovered this drink when I was in the USA a few weeks ago, YUM!), then I cant forget about coffee, which I love to, from time to time at least.
But I think I have answer this question with anything fruity, that isn't to sweet, like for example: Orange juice, lemonade and ice tea.
4. Favorite song at the moment?
This is one of the hardest question for me to answer, because I love music so much. I listen to a lot of music and its to hard to chose one, so you have to settle with a few:
Turn Up the Love (feat. Cover Drive) - Far East Moment http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqXVgAmqBOs
Blow Me (One Last Kiss) - P!nk http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQNpFzwhGfc
Little Talks - Of Monsters and Men http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghb6eDopW8I
Wide Awake - Katy Perry http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0BWlvnBmIE
I Love It - Icona Pop http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UxxajLWwzqY
Flytta på dig - Alina Devecerski (got to throw a swedish song in here to) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfcDvOzU6pQ
5. What would you name your children?
When I was younger I had this idea that someday I wanted to have a baby girl, and name her Leah, and no, its not from star wars. But now, later on in life, I dont really have a clue, I have had a lot of names pop up in my head, but I have realized that you cant choose a name without the other person, the father there, and even then, when you see your baby, you realize, for example, that this is not a Leah at all! So that is why I wont answer this question.
6. Do you participate in any sport?
I free dive, if you want to know more about it, google it ;)
And then I jog on and off.
7. Favorite book?
For a while I loved Meg Cabot's books, but then I grew up and now I can't say I found my favorite book yet. A book serie that I really loved though is the "House of Nights"-serie.
In the future I may do some book-reviews on here, so you can see what kind of book-type I am.
8. Favorite color?
My favorite color at the moment is coral. Before that it was turquoise.
9. Favorite animal?
Definitely dogs.
10. Favorite perfume?
I don't think I have a "me-scent" yet, but I am really loving Paco Rabanne - Lady Million.
11. Favorite holiday?
I am going to answer both the british, and the american version of this question:
British: My favorite holiday happend two weeks ago, I went to USA for the first time, and it was a amazing experience. I found it amazing just being there, hearing english everywhere we went, and in top of that seing all the things you see in movies. It was just amazing.
American: My favorite holiday is christmas, even though I hate to be cold, I love snow, and I love the warmth of the holiday itself, the happiness and the time you spend with your family.
And last question for today:
12. Have you graduated high school?
Yes, or no if we should be exact, I have graduated the Swedish equivalent of high school, gymnasium, on June 13 this year (2012)
Im done with questions for today, part II is coming soon.
1. Do you have a middle name?
Yes, my middle name is Alexandra, funny story: Before I was born, my dad was sure I was a boy, and they where going to name me Alex, but when he realized he was wrong, they decided to name me Alexandra, as a middle name, so I got a part of Alex in me anyway.

Late Nights Posting
This isn't a post about me, or a post about something interested really, but trust me, those are coming as well. This is more of an explanation, a reason for the birth of a new blog.
So for a while I have thought about the whole blog/youtube community and I have always wanted to, someday, be a part of it. I thought long and hard about starting a blog, about starting a youtube-channel, about putting myself in this amazing community of people.
I decided a few weeks ago, right after my graduation, that now was the time for the whole thing to start for me.
I havent really decided on what kind of blog this is going to become yet. Maybe a beauty blog, maybe a lifestyle, a diary, blog, or maybe, a little bit of both.
This post is going to be a short one, a post mostly for myself, because it is late, and honestly, I dont really know what I am writing myself.
So now Im saying goodnight, and tomorrow I will hopefully continue on with my blogging, and tell you guys more about me, because right now, Im just the one who live, laugh, beautiful.
