I love CSN. Oh my god how I love CSN today.

CSN is short for Centrala studienämnden which translates to National Board of Student Aid. Basically it’s a governmental board which handles student benefits and student loans. I go to college and get money from CSN. Most of the money is a student loan but some of it is student benefits which I don’t have to pay back.

Anyway, I’ve had major problems with my student loan. First I wasn’t getting any money at all, then I got money but would have to pay back part of it and then all of a sudden I find out I get to keep all the extra money I got. I’m not going to go into details about how and why since it’s all very complicated but basically CSN made a mistake and paid me more money than I should have and since the mistake was theirs and not mine I get to keep the money. Of course most of it is loan money which I still have to pay back one day when I’m finished with college but it’s still great since there’s a limit on how much money you can get from them each month and this means that I got a double income for January. It was quite a turn of events after all the trouble I’ve had with them these past months. So, that’s why I love CSN today.

I’m going to save part of my extra money for summer and with the rest I bought a laptop. This one to be exact. Lovely!

Today I went to Linköping with my family to shop since pretty much every store in Sweden hold major sales between Christmas and New Years Eve. Of course I’ll show you pictures of what I bought. I did buy more than what’s shown in these photos but I thought that you might not be interested in seeing my lint roller and the other boring household stuff I bought. I do show you my new dish rags but they’re cool dish rags so that doesn’t count!

These are a couple of the things I’ve bought this month.

make-up
Eye shadows in pink and purple, pink matching nail polish and some glitter eye shadow top coat stuff I got for free. The colours are kinda off in the photo. The first one isn’t white, it’s light pink and the two last ones aren’t black and grey but different shades of purple.

I ordered some stuff from Yves Rocher which arrived yesterday. I’ve planned on ordering stuff from there for quite a while but I waited until I got a new customer offer which they send out once in a while. Basically you get some stuff for free if you’re a new customer or haven’t ordered anything from there for a year. I got a mascara and three mini products for free.

So this is what I ordered:

yves rocher
1. Raspberry shower gel
2. Blackberry shower gel
3. Edelweiss hand cream
4. Passion flower hair and body wash (free mini product)
5. Raspberry perfume
6. Blackberry perfume
7. Night cream (free mini product)
8. Anti-wrinkle cream (free mini product)
9. Purple nail polish
10. Mascara (free)
11. Eye liner

It was nice to get free face creams since I’ve recently started applying face cream before I go to bed. I may look young now but I want to make sure I still look young in five years! Yes Milla, I’m getting oooold!

I realized I haven’t made a post about what I bought during the medieval week in Visby so here it is. Everything but the tee, scarf and flip flops was bought at the medieval fair.

I’ve ordered stuff from Ellos. I remember back in junior high when mail order shopping from Ellos was one of the most embarassing things you could do. Becuase as all teenagers know cheap clothes means you’re poor and if you’re poor you’re a failure and so far from cool you could possibly be. I’m glad I’m not affected by brand hysteria anymore. Ellos is cheap. Cheap = more clothes. More clothes = happy Angelica.

So this is what I got:

Eight black plates and eight smaller white plates. I LOVE these!

I’ve been shopping more than I usually do lately and since I’m too tired to actually write a blog post I’ll just share some photos of the things I’ve bought instead.

A pink sweater. In Sweden we call this a “alvtröja”, which means elf sweater.
