Thursdays are great!

Dear readers
First of all I wanna tell you guys a little about my day. School, then tennis, then homework. Sound like a pretty boring day right? But it actually wasn't. Today we had chemsitry where we made shampoos (last week we made moisturizers!) and history was actually quite interesting. Tennis is always a pleasure, and now I'm gonna make myself a nice, hot cup of tea and make a video for my english presentation tomorrow (we have about the environment).
Hope you all enjoy the week so far, and that you're all excited for christmas :)

Christmas song of the day:
White Christmas with Bing Crosby. It might be old, but I think it's so nice and sweet, and snow hasn't really made it to where I live, so I'm dreaming of a white christmas :)

The personal style of Aria Montgomery

Dear readers.
Sorry it have taken me so long since my last post, but these last weeks before schoolends are just crazy!

So here are some pics and tips about how to steal Aria Montgomery´s personal, bohemian and original style:

Blair Waldorf

Dear readers
Many of you readers propably know Gossip Girl (for those who doesn't; it's a tv show on CW). The show is filled with gorgeus clothes, architecture, hot boys... the list is long! But one of the main-persons in the show is Blair Waldorf. The reason I made this post, is because I like her style A LOT! I've put together some pictures of her best fashion moments, and I hope you guys will like the post, and maybe even be inspired by them.
Hope you all are in the right christmas-mood!:)

And in true gossip girl style I would like to say;

Rewiev: Breaking Dawn - Part 1

Dear readers
A few weeks back, I went to the movies and saw Breaking Dawn - Part 1. My expectations were high. And perhaps that's why I can't shake of the little feeling of disapointment that's inside me. The movie is takes of at the start of the book, when Edward and Bella are getting married. We then follow their honeymoon, and when they come home, pregnant. You follow the hard battle - not only for Bella, but for everyone - between Bella and the little "monster" that's inside her, who's slowly killing her. 
The movie ends right where Bella wakes up after the birth. More I wont tell :)

Rating: 6.5 (out of 10)

My favourite food for winter

Dear readers
I want this post to be about food, and since I (and propably many others) change my food habits wether it's winter, summer, spring or fall (basically what season it is, and what I'm in the mood for:) ).
So, since it's almost winter, it's time to eat and drink warmer food and liquors. Here are some of my favourite dishes and liquors for winter:

Food:

I love soup! Especially since you can get it in all kinds of flavours. It saturates perfecly, it's warm and with a low fat-procent it's also healthy.

For dessert, I actually just prefer some brownies, based on a chocolate with a high cocoa-procent. Here is my atm. favourite recipe, from the baking book Fat Witch Brownies. You can basically get it in any bookstore with a kitchen-section, but if you want to you can also get it online, or in Barnes & Noble, where I got mine. 
Remember: You can always add ingeredients, frosting and decorations. Experiment as much as you like!

Fat Witch Brownies (12-16 brownies) :
  • 14 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • A half cup + 2 tablespoons bittersweet chocolate chips
  • One and a quarter cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • A half cup + 2 tablespoons unbleached flour
  • A pinch of salt
  1. Grease a pan with butter. Dust with flour and tap out the axcess. Preheat the oven to 350 Fahrenheit
  2. Melt the butter and chocolate in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool.
  3. Cream the sugar, eggs, and vanilla together. Add the chocolate mixture and mix untill well blended.
  4. Measure the flour and salt and then sift together directly into the chocolate mixture. Mix the batter gently untill well combined and no trace of the dry ingeredients remains.
  5. Spread the batter evenly in the prepared baking pan and bake 33 minutes or untill a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean or with only crumbs, not batter, on it.
  6. Remove from the oven and cool on a rack for 1 hour. Cut just before serving.






Liquor:
My favourite winter liqour is either tea or hot chocolate. My favourite tea comes from a little local tea-shop, and it's a mix of white tea with jasmine, aroma and bucktorn.
For the hot chocolate, just use some powder you can buy from your favourite store (I recommend splurging if necessary. You want a cocoa rich liquor) and add marshmallows (or whatever you prefer to do).

So these were my favourite winter foods and liquors! :) hope you guys liked this post, and feel free to comment, and maybe even share you favourite winter foods and liquors :D
