BUDGET LIFE

You know that you have moved out on your own when you realize that you could manage to get your teeth clean with half as much tooth paste as you put on your brush and start trying to squeeze it back into the tube (which is pretty difficult when it's one of them aluminum ones). Other than that I feel like I am doing pretty darn well. Altough I have to admit that I don't even want to know how much money I've spent on coffee in order to get some WiFi around here, but that will all change once we decide to get it done I guess... Besides, it's pretty darn good coffee! Osheaga is going on in the city atm (music festival) but as fun as it seems, it's pretty pricy. Good thing me and A did our own thing and bought tickets for Beyonce this December in NYC. TALK about a great christmas present to me, myself et moi. I have never given myself one before so I guess it was about time! So yes, the snow can come anyday as long as it brings me closer to December 19th.

Xoxo,

Me and my Canadians this friday night.

2013 problems

This is why you should always have your own WiFi at your place...

1. When your neighbours move, you can't "borrow" their WiFI anymore and you'll regret not having your own.

2. Your ass will get super sore from sitting in uncomfortable bar stools since they are the only ones near the outlet.

3. You'll be stranded in those uncomfortable chairs because the internet is 10 times slower than normal which means that you have to sit there 10 times longer and spend 10 times more minutes in front of your computer that day and kill the battery 10 times.

4. Coffee is fucking expensive.

5. You are poor.

6. You can't afford Starbucks so this coffee isn't even that good.

7. How long have I been here for?

8. I'm hungry but don't want to spend money on a boring sandwich. If I was at home, I could make myself a 1$ meal right now.

9. I wish I had WiFI at the loft.

10. I'm getting a freaking WiFi.

Montréal baby

Dears,

before I (I mean he) gives this place a complete facelift, let me just tell you what has changed. 

 I took a break (like a 5 month vaycay) from the blog to just focus on the next step in my life. I kind of realized that I needed to be somewhere else than at my place, my job (the supercuteamazing-café) and with friends in Stockholm. I needed a new environment and perfectly enough I just moved to the most random place on the planet (at least that is what it feels like right now). Montréal baby, Mont-ré-fucking-al. Where did I get this idea from? Well, the travel bug inside me (not a gross beetle looking one. More like a cute, pink and fuzzy bean looking one with a pretty smile) started to long for an adventure and my dream to one day speak fluent french and some other random ideas got me to this place and just let me tell you, it's intense. Just wait until I unravel all the mysteries and secrets of Montréal. This unique place will get you to read about it intensely like when you used to put your ear against the door to your siblings room to hear about the secrets they were keeping from you (which really wasn't anything at all). This blog will keep the memories I create in this new city and the rest of my year as a traveler in the great country called Canada.

 This is my rooftop. See how crazy it is already? Buckle up babies, this is going to be the journey. 

Xoxo, 

I am back.

TOI

Sometimes on a day off, we just want the weather to be bad. We want the rain to pour down outside and the trees to go back and forth with the wind. We want the sky to be dark as the night and the wind to be cold. All because that's when we can be guiltfree. That is when we can sit inside with a cup of coffee catching up on that tvshow we never get the time to see and doing so in nothing but an oversized tee. But what if that doesn't have to be the case? What if we don't have to follow the rules that are put up for us, in anything in life. What if we just decide to follow our own cravings and not compare them to what everyone else is doing. Couldn't that be the way to find true happiness? Aren't everyone looking for just that, real happiness? What if that isn't the same for everyone. Now, aren't we all different? So why are we trying to follow the same pattern if it's not going to satisfy all of us? Why not brake out of that and take that high end road that your heart calls for? Why care about the looks, why pretend like that's what you want. Why not do you..?

Hello Sunshine

People are smiling, the Dvitamin is flowing, the birds are singing.. Yes, the sun has finally reached Stockholm. I celebrated it with a long walk and man, it felt good having to squint from the strong sunbeams. It's my day off and I'm going to spend it outside starting by celebrating my dear S for getting her drivers license YES GIRL!!! So whereve you are reding this from, I hope that your weather is just as great as mine. Xoxo

Sunday funday

What is a sunday without a pancake brunch with your girls? I don't know... But I can guarante you that it was amazing. We invited our new friend Jess over and let the new yorker try some Swedish specialities, this time out own pancakes. That mixed with the champagne I got for christmas was the perfect combo to cure me from my stressful weekend. It was perfect except for the fact that L almost went bald from leaning a bit too close to the candle (thank gosh that she has reflexes faster than superwoman, all I did was to scream when her head turned into what looked like a mix of firecrackers and goldlock.) So her hair is fab as always, don't you worry. And even after that intense/scary/insane incident she was still willing to cut mine, true friend right there. So now my split ends are just a memory. We ended it all with some marsmallows over the open fire a la citystyle as you can witness below. So I had the best sunday in a long time, this should become a tradition... Xoxo, MissV. 

HOUSE

This saturday me and les chicas went to a good ole house party. Felt like I was back to being 16 running around in a random house meeting new people in every room I entered. Me and L talked yesterday about how much fun it was because these events are rare nowdays. The clubs started to take over as soon as we all hit 18 but man, I do miss the house parties. That's where the most random/unexpected/hilarious/exciting things happen and yes, this was one of those nights.  But don't get me wrong, clubs can be amazing too. But let's be honest. It's not exactly the place where you get to sit down and talk to people. And if you do try, you are very likely to misunderstand one another because of the loud music pumping through the speakers (that's why all we do is dance). Time to enjoy my day off now dears. Have a happy valentines ♥ 

Ah right, some dudes didn't have time to crack up 3 of their beer cans on the subway before going to the club so they gave them to us. Disgusting beer, never buying that crap ever. But hey, it was for a good cause. 

Wednesday slacker day

I cannot believe that it was a year ago I went with my ladies to Amsterdam! It was such a fun trip but still, one year ago.. Oh my! And now I am getting ready to get my butt out in the cold to see if I can find any nice threads to put some of my paycheck on. I seriously haven't done that in so long since I am saving up the bucks for my future adventure abroad. But once in a while a girl has to award herself for le hard work so that's the plan today. And hey, I just cleaned my room, for me who is so neat that is a great accomplishment my dears. So that's what I'll do after drinking my protein shake (in the making of some muscles)  and then I'm seeing F over some chatting, sushi and finaly catching up on PLL, man we are behind. So that's my day off my dears, I'll give you a tour of my newly cleaned room later. Xoxo.

Newbie

Saturday night well spent with my girls.

Random thoughts that strike my mind. 

A little craving to go see some different concrete.

Wishing to see...

...A new kind of nature.

Experience something completely different.

Simply switch up the everyday life.

I know it's coming, 

the question is just where

and exactly when. 

Xoxo, MissV. 

Instaweek

Is atm getting ready to get my ass to the gym even though I don't feel so well after seeing something I didn't want to see (don't accidentely look up a name you see on tumblr to then realize that this is a girl called "the tampon girl" and then click PLAY and yeah... Almost gag... Just don't..). The way some people become famous is just, facination. Or no, more like horrifying. Yes, that's it. Either way it's gym, work and then die in the sofa exciting now, don't you think? I've started to get it to the whole 9-5 schedule (or more like, 10-7:15pm) and let me tell you, it can be exhausting. So I am looking forward to this weekend SO much. My dear J just turned 20 so we are celebrating her this friday. Just like we celebrated L last saturday with wine, ice cream, games and girltalk. But this time we are going out dancing! But the day before L's celebration  (we call it friday) me and Em went to see Django Unchined. See it, see it, see it. So that's where the candypicture comes from. I mean, you can't expect me to watch a 2,5 h movie without any sweets? So I'm looking forward to see what this weekend can bring too and I promise that I'll get better with taking pictures. Oui, si, ja, yes. Happy thursday! xoxo
