Moving

Finally I can share my news with you guys. I'm moving out! Will be getting my own place by the end of January. A very small place but at least it's going to be mine and just mine which has never happened before so I'm really looking forward to it.
I will be living with my boyfriends mother outside of Paris for two weeks (from the 3rd to the 20th of January) because I can't move into the new place until then. At least I know I will have good company and I'll not be paying rent! The only real challenge there is is the language cause as you all know I don't speak french and it happens to be so that she doesn't speak English.
Challenge excepted! At least I will improve my language skills.

Ben & Jerry's

My boyfriend and I decided to go out for a little walk to get a cup of coffee or something small to eat. As soon as we get out of the building and walk around the corner he finds a 10 pound bill just laying there on the ground. How great is that!
We ended up getting some ice cream at Ben & Jerry's instead so now I'm sitting on the bed, enjoying Strawberry Cheesecake and Vermonster while my love is watching a movie in french with one of his roommates and the roommates brother in the living room. This should give me some time to wrap his gifts for tomorrow. I'm excited to see what he is going to think!

A relaxing day

Spent my entire day together with my better half doing absolutely nothing.. productive. There is that small voice in the back of my head telling me to get up and get going but I have good company and good movies so I just ignore it and enjoy being a little lazy.
Tomorrow is his birthday and so we have to go to Waitrose to buy some groceries.
Although today has been lazy a lot of things have happened that I haven't been able to freely discuss with you on my blog but now that it's all sorted out I can inform you what I have been up to.
But you will have to wait a little cause I'm leaving the apartment now.

What a cliffhanger..!

Towards London

Had a stressed morning and I even had to take a cab to Gare du Nord just to make it on time for the Eurostar train to London. Thankfully there where no lines and I just walked straight through the whole set up of metal detectors and security.

Now I'm sitting by the window and can finally relax. Might to get something to eat. Since I didn't have anything at the apartment I haven't had any breakfast so it's safe to say I'm getting quite hungry.

Cyber cafe

Blogging from something as fancy as an internet cafe. It took me forever to find a place open at this time of the day and the one I was directed to wasn't there. I was at the right address and I even talked to a lot of people. Enough about that. The guy at the restaurant directed me to his mostly used internet cafe and here I am!

Just printed out my eurostar ticket for tomorrow and as soon as I have published this I will be getting a bus back home to the apartment where I have some packing to do.

Very tired and the only thing I can think of right now is sleep, but that will have to wait.

Flying back to Paris

After spending a few wonderful days with my family it's time to go back to Paris tomorrow. Not that I will be staying long because at 11 in the morning the day after (on the 29th) I will be taking the eurostar train to London to spend NYE with my boyfriend. Very much looking forward to that!

Cousins birthday party

Today I went to the mall with my to siblings and my dad to exchange some wolly slippers (I got two of the same ones). Ended up with two new pair of jeans, or actually one of them is jeggins but who cares! I also got some new boots so that I now no longer have to freeze my feet off in my converse. I love them so much!!

After that we went to celebrate my cousin who is turning 18 very soon. Had some lovely chocolate cake and afterwards we went to a thai restaurant to have dinner. Went back home and then spent the rest of the evening watching a movie with my dad and skyping with my boyfriend.
His birthday gift has arrived at his apartment but I have told him to let the doorman keep it for now so that I can pick it up when I get there. Don't want him to guess what he is getting.

I have enjoyed spending Christmas with my boyfriend this year. It's the first time that has happened but it's not going to be the last, that's for sure. 

 

 

Merry Christmas to you all

Hope you all had a wonderfull Christmas!
Sorry for not updating but I haven't had access to the internet and when I have I've been too busy being with my family.

Celebrated Christmaseve in Sweden with my mother, stepdad, two siblings, grandmother, aunt, her new boyfriend and my own boyfriend. It was really lovely.
The day after we went to my grandmothers house to celebrate some more so we got to see some more relatives which is always nice.

This morning I took my boyfriend to the train and he went back to London (should be taking off soon actually) and later on my family and I are going to my grandmother on my fathers side to see some more family and have some delicious Christmas food!

I will get around to telling you all what I got this Christmas but right now I'm heading upstairs to watch Peter Pan with my two siblings. I have to take care of the time we have together when I'm here.

Denmark

I'm in Denmark now! Had a lovely traditional danish dinner with the family and then I bought the gift I'm giving my boyfriend on his 28th birthday which is soon. Internet shopping is the best, so much access, right from the computer!

Now I'm just browsing the web and soon I'll be heading to bed.

Traveling abroad

Just finished a phone call with my bank informing them that I will be traveling to Denmark and Sweden for the holidays. This way I can use my card without any fees and they won't mistaken it for being stolen and block it.
Thanks to my old room mate who gave me a heads up on this!

Cancelled trains to the airport

Once I got to the metro station where I was gonna change to the RER I bought my ticket and then went to the platform. There I found out that they had cancelled ALL of the trains going to the airport. Surprise!
I spotted a guy with two suitcases who seemed just as surprised as me and then offered him to split a cap. So that we did and here I am, in good time for my flight.

When the end is good, all is good :)

Drama at Abercrombie

Had a day full of drama and misunderstandings today at work. Horrible but it turned out fine. It's hard to keep track of everything when there are like ten managers that each think they know best. Enough about that. Tomorrow morning I'm going home to Denmark! Crazy excited!!

Bought the last gifts today, last minute, but I wanted some small souvenirs :)

G'night

Work

Was at work for 11 hours today. Pretty exhausted so I'm getting some sleep now!

Ouch

Bleached my teeth today and that's pretty much all I did. Even though I was planning on going to work after I had to call and cancel and I don't think I'll be working tomorrow either. It's a shame cause it's an 11 hour shift = good money.

Even though it was painful (didn't think it would be..) I'm happy it's now done and I only have one more thing left to do and then my teeth are FINALLY complete.

Just another amazing day

Today I worked for five hours or so and I actually really enjoyed it. The entire time! Think it was because I got to be in the fitting room near the end of my shift which allows me to do something more than just dancing around and being a happy person.

Afterwards I went to this lovely Christmas get together at some friends of my family. There was a lot of nice people and we had some amazing glögg and cake (don't tell anyone but I had a lot of cake..)

Got home and had a great talk with my boyfriend who I'm spending my Christmas with. So excited about that!

Early Sunday morning

Good morning everyone!
Got up early today only to realize that I start work one hour later than expected. But I don't mind! This gave me time to do the laundry and clean a little.

At my old place

After recovering from last night I went to my old room mate and we watched a movie and had dinner. Tried horse meet for the first time and it's actually very tasty! (sorry Frida)
I now have my plane tickets for when I'm leaving on Thursday printed out so I'm all good to go.
Tomorrow I'm doing a shift at A&F and after that I'm attending a small Christmas get-together :)

L'ark

Yesterday after work I met with a friend who also works on Champs Élysées. We bought a bottle of wine, went to my place and had some dinner. After that we went to l'ark (French for "the ark"). Had a great time and got to know some more people from work!
We took a buss home in the middle of the night, or should I say early morning..

To sum it up: we had a great evening with lots of fun :)

A photo shoot that never happened

Got offered to do a photo shoot for one full day next week for the price of 200€ but my agency told me that that was a ridiculously low price for something like that so it's not going to happen. Makes me think about how much people usually pay for something like that.. Guess I will find out at some point ;)

10 days till Christmas!

Can you believe it? There is only 10 days left to my favorite Holliday of the year!

Have bought things for most of my family already but I can see that some of it might not get delivered on time :( most of it will so that's good, the rest I will have to deal with. Find something else perhaps.

Late night blogging

I'm just about to fall asleep, but realized I haven't updated my blog today! So here it goes:

Worked at A&F from 9.30-15.00 and after that I went straight to the dentist.
It only took like ten minutes and I'm happy with the result. Now it just has to heal.
After the dentist I went to Metropolitan to show the result and to talk about a photo shoot.
Went straight back home and by the time I got here I was in quite a lot of pain so I jut cuddled up in bed with a movie and tried to think of something else. Now the pain has gone so that's all good :)

Did some skype-ing with my bf, who I have been with for 8 months now! <3

Sweet dreams everyone

Cleaning, cleaning, cleaning

As you might have guessed from the title, yes, I have been doing some holly dolly Christmas cleaning (which is just like regular cleaning but while listening to Christmas music)
Also bought all of my presents for the family which I'm very happy about! Let's just hope Santa will deliver on time ;)
All I have left to do before I can go home and enjoy the holidays is to buy a gift for my younger brother and print out the plane ticket.

Ho, ho, ho!

La Poste

Finally got around to going to the post office, buying some stamps and sending my Christmas cards to all of my grandparents. They should arrive in 3 to 4 days so that is all good!

Postcards

Have finished writing a postcard to all of my grandparents back in Denmark so today I will send them and hopefully they will arrive before Christmas.

Decided on a dentist

Today I finally decided on what dentist that will be doing my teeth. The one I chose is very good at what he is doing and has a great reputation in Paris.
I start already this Thursday with doing my gums, and then on Monday I do the next step in the process towards getting that perfect Colgate smile. I'm very pleased that everything should be done by the end of January which is in like a month!

A&F casting

Today I did a casting for the worldwide Abercrombie & Fitch campaign which will be launched next year. They took some pictures, made a short video and that was pretty much it. I went really well and I think I made a good impression so I'm looking forward to see if they contact me in the middle of January. If they do (when they do, I keep telling myself) I will be going to the US for one week to do the whole shooting.
It would be an amazing experience, good money and a great excuse to get a mac book since they are so much cheaper there.

First day, Done!

Back home from my first day at work and I'm quite tired I have to admit. Even though it was "only" five and a half hours it feels like a long time cause all I do is dance and greet people. I feel even more motivated to actually learn french now cause that is needed in order to be a cashier.

Now I'm gonna have a little dinner and then I'm getting some sleep!
Tomorrow I have things to do and I want to be fresh and well rested.

2 weeks till Christmas

Can't believe there is only two weeks left till Christmas eve. For once I felt like I was in good time with gifts for the family but time ran away and now I need to get it together and get it done! I'm working tomorrow as well but Wednesday is my day off so I might spend it on gift purchases.
Sunday I'm having Glögg at a friend of the families place so I will get a little Christmas feeling then hopefully.   

Work

Heading to Abercrombie at Champs Élysées, working from 3 to 8.30. Even though I did work a bit yesterday today is still my first "real" day at work. It's just like in London except in French!

Have been considering applying for the cashier position cause I feel there is more challenge in that rather thank just hanging around.

At the movies

At the movie theater now and we are going to watch The Impossible. I'm super excited cause it seems like a movie I would really love!
To bad I'm not "allowed" to have soda and sweets on the side, but hey, that's life.

First day at Abercrombie

I'm back home after my first day at Abercrombie & Fitch. As I had expected it's very similar to what I did at Hollister and Gilly Hicks in London during the summer.
Now I'm waiting for my boyfriend to arrive and then we are having dinner. Possibly going to the movies first.

Catching up

Had a long talk with a friend from home and it was lovely! I'm so happy for the things that's going on in her life right now and I just wish I could be there to share it with her.

New door

They are changing the door in my current apartment which is absolutely great! It's hopefully going to help keep the heat in.
How ever, that's not the case right now since there is no door, just a big whole in the wall. Wearing my ski jacket to bed and when I breath there is "smoke" coming out of my mouth.
Something to tell the grandchildren about one day! haha

Birthday party

Putting my lipstick on and rushing out the door, tonight we are gonna celebrate!

Ups and downs

I'm sorry for not having updated my blog the last days despite me being in Paris..
Yesterday was quite a mess, trouble with the bank and so on, and so on.

But Today! Today has been marvelous! I finally got to sign the contract at Abercombie & Fitch and I'm starting on Sunday. My credit card miraculously started working! I'm going to a birthday party tonight and in 2 days my dear is coming to see me! 

I also got to talk with my family at home and it's was great. It always motivates me! Love you guys <3

Back in Paris

Back from an amazing weekend with some lovely people in Val d'Isère. The place was beautiful and I got to try a lot of delicious traditional French food!
But now I'm back from the snow and ready to take on this weeks challenges. First thing: move all of my things to the new apartment in the 13th arr.
