Hello

To my followers out there , you might remember the when I lost my Baby ( Canon 400D ) . 

I have been walking around without a DSLR for some weeks now, and it has been awful. 

Not having the freedom to snap a picture every now and then is just painful. 

I am trying to replace my DSLR with my awesome Samsung self phone camera with zero pixels and its super slow. Great , great.

But then my hero came into the picture Martine my very close friend of mine offered me her Canon 350D,
its a model older than mine but its so much better than nothing.

And I thank her so much for being so kind and lending me her baby <3<3<3 

I've had it for around 1 week now and its splendid, life is indeed a little bit smoother now.

Thank you so much Martiinnne ,

LOVE YAH LOADS ! 


( Of course, I had to attach a big lens to the camera. )
 

I got his palette last week and I am so satisfied with this investment!
It was worth every penny, although it is a little bit over priced.

Let me break it down to you , Naked by Urban Decay is a sensation.
If you are into make up , then I bet you know what I am rambling about.
But if you aren?t , let me tell you the secret of this palette. 



It comes in 12 colours , you will also get a brush and a eye make up primer.
The primer is rumoured to be one of the best on the marked .
All this for 279 Kr .

( Even thought it is quite small , the primer is quite powerful ) 

You wont find this brand in Norway, but you can buy it online .
If you wish to buy Naked , you have to be early out because this palette is out of stock most of the time !



 The colours that comes a long in Naked are so beautiful
and it covers the basic need of every look.

This palette can transform you into everything !
Either you want a sweet daily look or a wild night life look , the palette is at it service .
This palette is a must have if you want to start your make up kit , because it covers the basic plus more.



 THE END

( On our way up , getting a fantastic view over Beach Camp )

Cape Town is surrounded by a beautiful scenario .
It is close to the south pacific ocean , they also have Robin Island in their possession.
They have high class facilities , such as Canal Walk which is South Africans biggest mall or V/A waterfront .
But I have to say, I am so astonish by their nature, Cape Town is protected by 3 big rocks.
They have each a different name and serve different purposes , as for Table Mountain it says itself , it is a huge tourist attraction because it looks like somebody just chop of the top of the mountain.


( Half way up , this is the tricky part )


( At the top with Kate , this is the second time I go up Lionshead ) 

There is also Devils Peak , which is also fantastic if you do wish to hike Devils Peak be prepared
to spend 6 hours all together , 3 hours up and 3 hours down.
Devils Peak is for people who are fit and athletic , or if you are a dare devil yourself ,then perhaps you can try .
But I warn you, its going to be difficult and breathtaking . Literally.



( Finally at the tooooopp ! )

But for new beginners who just want to take a walk up to the highest peek
to get a fantastic 360 degrees view over Cape Town.
I recommend you Lions head,why call a rock for Lions Head ?
There is a rumour saying when you stand from Devils Peak and look over to Lions Head , 
the rock is shaped as a lions head , if its true or not. 
I am actually not quite sure. 

( A tourstick group picture , hahaha )

If you ever are in Cape Town and wish to do an activity with a low budget, this is the right spot.
Lions Head is for free and it?s a level for everyone either
if you have lungs made out of steel or fish legs. 



( The moon rise and the sunset , just fantastic) 

If you wish to make this trip even more memorable , you should hike up Lions head when its full moon.
That is when it becomes very enchanting!
It is very fascinating to see the sunset on the left side of the mountain ,
and at the same time the moon is rising on you right.
It reminds you of ying and yang and the balance of life. 

( With Marcella , Paublo and Michelle )

Of course , if you wish to hike up during the full moon , be expected the mountain top to be full packed.
Because full moon hiking is quite popular among Capetonians,
so my tips to you is to be a little bit early out than others , so you get the best spot . 
  


( I LOVE your face expression , Sabine..hahaha! I miss you so much  girl! )



( Cape Town at night ) 

Good luck
 

Today , I had a photo shot. 
I will try and update by the end of the day , tihih.

Picture taken by : Hoa Mi Nguyen / Beoshii <3 

 

( This picture is the raw version. In short. Non edited )

This photo shot was shot in Mai, the result were astonishing .
But I haven?t had time to actually sit down and take a real look at them.
I will try and sit down next week and edit them and upload them.
or does anybody actually care? 
Hm.......

Not long ago I did a review on a make up product,
something that was utterly altered from my usually daily post.
Today , I will do it again.
I want to rewrite about cosmetic again.
I am no expert but I just want to put out small tips and advices out there ,
for girls who do not posses a big fat wallet like Paris Hilton.



Eco tools is a brush set from Apoteket .
In this sett you will get 6 brushes for a small amount of money.
The materials are made from cruelty free hair and natural substance.



I think these brushes are a good start for young girls ,
 who want to try out and experience.
This is such a good start kit for new beginners.
The brushes are somewhat soft , the quality is remarkable good.
At first when I saw the goods , I thought the hair might be stiff and I didn?t think to well of the product.

But now that I have the merchandise in my collection,
I do not regret buying them. 



I really fancy the design .
It also comes with a pouch for the brushes ,
so you wont damage them and a mirror zooming in 5x. 

If you ever are in Cape Town and dare to take the public transport to Walmer Estate ,
on your way you will find Charlies Bakery .
 A pink colourful castle mist placed in Cape Town
where as it should have been placed in the movie Willy Wonka and the Chocolate fabric.


The castle is painted in pink and white , decorated with animations or cupcakes.
It looks quite outstanding and stunning.
Charly's bakery is an attraction you cannot afford to miss.
Tourist like me , would of course swing by to explore the Castle.

Inside is spectacular and amazing as the outside.
If you peek inside , you can find friendly staff , awesome looking cupcakes and brownies or skilled patriesier 

( My first step inside )

Their wide range of bakery is just amazing and so delightful for the eye.
Their patisserie is decorated in light and playful colors ,
quite different from other bakeries where the cake look pretty much plain and boring.

( So delicious looking..MMmmmMM <3 )

The costumers can also take a peek into their workshop .
So we can see how cupcakes are born and raised by pattesiers . 

(I think these two woman are disguised as humans , but I am certain that their true nature is Oompa Loompas !  )


( Funny looking cakes :D )

After spending more than 15 minutes in amazement ,
I decided to buy some of their wonders.
I couldntt make up my mind at first , because they had quite a wide range of sweets.
At first I was thinking of buying funky looking cupcakes :


But then I saw these guys , who were equally delicious looking :



 But in the in , I found one cupcake who was screaming the right message to me :


( How can I pass by , and not buy you? )

The cupcake was so good !
So rick and sweet!
I couldntt just buy one cupcake and go home ,
I had to show off  my adventure to my friends ,
so I went inside to fight the evil! It almost took my life but it was worth it !
Because when I came out I possessed a magic box in my hands. 


 ( Mucking Afazing , do get the message? :) )

This were the well deserved trophies inside of my magic box : 


  THE END

( Ignore my maxfactor lipstick..hehe )

I never thought I would actually get the chance to write about cosmetics.
If you do know my character , make up is not an important factor for me.
But lately , when I peek into my make up bag it is quite fat and heavy.
As far as I remember my so called make up bag was quite empty last year ,
seems like Tokyo had something fishy to do with this.

Today , I really wanted to review about some fantastic products that you can posses for a small change of money.
I am no expert myself but this is my own opinion and this is just plain tips for girls who are interested out there.
------------------------------------------------------------
I know girls would pay a lot of money for a lipstick from Chanel ,
Dior or YSL but is the quality to die for?

They pay buckets load , to make themselves feel good and expensive.
When they put YSL on their lips , the product may not be of the best quality
but using their brand name is giving self confidence to the user.

The female who is using this product,
will feel expensive and exclusive walking around in YSV lipstick on their luxurious lips.
Because ,  we all know who YSV are .

In our mind , this product means power , money and status.
Not every girl can walk around with a YSV lipstic , right?



Because of that I want to do a review.

Just because it's expensive, doesn't mean it's good. 

First of all  I want to start with Viva La Diva ,
a Swedish brand only available in Cubus.
It might be cheap and their design might not appeal to the eye
but the product itself is far away from bad.

I want to focus on their lipstick today .
Their range of colour is quite amazing ,
they have all the colour you can imagine plus more.
(They even had black lipstick , neon purple and green! )
This is the only brand I know besides from Mac that distributes theatre colour .

Another positive note I want to add is their strong pigments!
You get the exact colour you want !
Their lipstick is quite oily and creamy
which means it doesn't dry up your lips and it smells kind of nice.

But the colour doesn't stick around for to long.
The time limit is around 2-3 hours, depends if you are eating or not.

For young girls out there who wants to get their first lipstick.
Please buy a cheap one and find your colour before you jump of to the expensive big brands.
Then Viva La Diva is recommend as a test product.



Was this useful for you?

When I gaze out of my window I see raindrops falling from gray sky.
It has been pretty much the same weather during the whole week.

Are we in June?
Is this supposed to be summer?
Where is the sun and the beautiful blue sky?


I cannot help but long back to those blissful days in Cape Town.
I cannot help but to complain to my friends about my misery.
How can this possible be summer???

Bad weather day in and out !
Just, awful!

During times like this my mind tend to trail back to past events.
My memories goes back to my all time favourite place .
Seapoint Swimming pool.



 It was introduced to me by the Seal which I adore so much!
I love those times we spend together , because being with her I've learned so much ! 


( This is The Seal / my personal Guru / Dr. Phil / my own Opera Winfrey in Spanish version <3 ) 

To get access to Seapoint swimming pool ,
you have to take the public transport which will cost only 5RAN.
You can take any car , who has a guy hanging outside the truck calling :
" SEA POINT SEAPOINT "  with a strong South- African accent. 



 For only 15RAN you can spend your whole day next to the sea.
Either you want to tan yourself on the grass or just take a dip in the pool.
Including in the price around 18.00 - 18.30 the sun will do present a magical trick called :
The awesome South African sunset. 





After the magic show , I bet you will be at awe. 
Because I was . 

Have a nice rainy summer !
