What do you watch or read during me-time?

Usually I will re-read some of my favourite books, like Harry Potter or Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. There is just something comforting about knowing the story beforehand. Then you can really hunker down and enjoy the development and the details of the story without rushing ahead to see what happens next. If I am in the mood to watch something I will also usually watch something I have seen before. Just so I know that it's good and I wont be wasting my time with something I will not like in the end.

What do you wear during me-time? #nobra

Pajama pants, fluffy socks and a cozy jumper. It's not about looking good, it's all about the comfort!

What are your me-time beauty products?

Usually I will opt for a foot bath using a foot bath salt, currently Comwell's Spalosophy. Sometimes I will go for a face mask, and then I just use some of the cheap ones that come in small packages just big enough for one mask.

Current favorite nail polish?

The Rimmel London Salon Pro. Maybe the colour is called 713 Britpop, but I'm not sure. But it's a sky blue one. It dries really fast and doesn't chip very much.

What do you eat/drink during me-time?

Chocolate! For an actual meal I like comfort food like mashed potatoes and gullasch. But otherwise chocolate...

Current favorite candle?

I don't really do candles that much. I think the scents get overwhelming quite easily so I usually just go for a lot of tea candles in cute jars etc.

Do you ever have outdoor me-time?

Every once in a while I go for a walk with some good music in my headphones and have a good think about things. I go for a run sometimes too, but that's not really enjoyable is it? But it feels good to think about it after a few days, when your muscles aren't hurting anymore...

Would you ever go see a movie alone?

Probably not. I don't really like going to the movies at all, because I find all the other people super annoying...

Favorite online shop?

Www.saxo.dk My favorite online bookshop

Anything to add? What else do you do during me-time?

I listen to music a lot. Pretty much anything depending on my mood, but some nice cozy music could be Langhorne Slims “Be Set Free” album or pretty much anything by Elvis Presley.

1000 Places to See Before You Die 20 - Acropolis, Athens, Greece

Image
You cannot go to Athens and not go to the Acropolis. It is a staple on any sightseeing tour and is likely to be crawling with tourists at any given point in time. Still, it is definitely worth it to brave the masses and see the fortified citadel above the city of Athens for yourself.   The word acropolis means the highest point of the city, and there are a number of these acropoleis scattered throughout Greece, but the one in Athens is so well known that it is simply called “The Acropolis”.  There is evidence that the area on the rocky outcropping overlooking the city was inhabited already in the 4th millennium BC, but it was Pericles who started construction on the many famous buildings in the 5th century BC. These famous buildings include the Parthenon, probably the most iconic of the buildings, the Propylaea, the Erechtheion and the Temple of Athena Nike. These buildings were all seriously damaged in 1687 AD when the Venetians had sieged the city and used th

Review: Across the Universe by Beth Revis

Image
This is the first book in a series, but I have no intention of continuing on with this series. The plot evolves around two young people, Amy and Elder. They live on a spaceship that has left Earth to find a new planet to populate. Amy was part of the cryogeniccaly frozen people on board, meant to be woken up upon arrival and using their skill set to populate the new planet. Elder, meanwhile, is part of the population that has been keeping the ship running whilst it travels towards its destination.  One day Amy is woken up from her frozen sleep and now she must learn to live on this spaceship, without her parents, slowly learning the culture and the secrets of this ship. It turns out there is an abundance of mysteries on board this ship, like who is waking up (and killing) the frozen people, who is the mysterious deceased Elder, what is the current Eldest up to and what’s with the “crazy” people and their medication.  Eventually all these mysteries are solved, but is

Reading the classics: The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

The book The book first appeared in Lippincott’s Monthly Magazine in 1890, and the year after it was released as a book in a revised edition. As I am working on this post, I discover that the book is not necessarily considered a classic….great choice for the kick-off post for the series then! However, in my experience, it does usually appear on “classics” lists, so I am going to count it! At the time of the first publication in 1890 it was considered immoral, by a lot of people, but Wilde took offense to that and defended his story. When it was published in book form though, he had changed some things and added a preface, that stated that books cannot be moral or immoral, only well written or badly written.  The author Oscar Fingal O'Flahertie Wills Wilde was Wilde’s full name, but he later changed it to Oscar Wilde because, as he said, the name was too long for someone who was going to be famous. He was born on October 16th 1854 in Dublin, Ireland. He went to Trinity Co
