You know what’s about the fugliest make-up faux pas there is? When people use foundation/powder/whatever in a colour different from their skin but only apply it to their face without blending it down the neck. Some use a darker shade than their skin to look tanned while alternative kids use a chalk white colour to look pale. I don’t know which is worse. Probably the chalk white actually since the difference between the face and skin tends to be so extreme when white make-up is used. Even if you apply it to your neck no one is that pale and it will look unnatural. Dita Von Teese the queen of pale may have a fair complexion but not even she is chalk white. I’m ashamed to say that I’ve also done this mistake back in high school. Now many years later I can honestly say that it’s one of the worst make-up crimes I’ve ever done myself guilty of.

What do you think is the fugliest make-up faux-pas and what’s the worst make-up mistake you’ve done?

Oh and by the way I got a comment about the layout saying that the menu is off and the www link button is located under the start link button. For me the menu looks good in Opera, IE, Firefox, Safari and Chrome but maybe it doesn’t work correctly in a different version of one of those browsers. I dont know. Could be the hack I used to make the layout look exactly like I wanted it to in Opera, Safari and Chrome. Different browsers, different standards you know. If the menu is off in your browser please let me know.

Oh and this is the last chance to exchange Christmas cards with me! I’m buying the cards tomorrow so if you’re interested in this e-mail me at quende[at]spray.se today.

I got home from work a while ago. Usually I’m not home until 2 PM but today I got off earlier since everyone were going to this Christmas lunch, except for me. I don’t care for things like that since I don’t socialize with a lot of the people I work with.

Want to hear something funny? Of course you do. So this is what happened. I was organizing books at work, standing in a pretty secluded area of the store, when all of a sudden the lights went off. I was like WTF? Then I realized OMG the Christmas lunch! Everyone’s leaving and no one noticed I was standing here! I ran to the door – which was locked – and knocked frantically. I was lucky because everyone were standing outside deciding who were going in which car so one of the bosses let me out. They were like “where were you?”. I think they assumed I had already gone home since they knew I wasn’t going to the lunch and they couldn’t see me anywhere. Jeez, wouldn’t being locked in at work for the rest of the day have been fun!

I’m still looking for people to exchange Christmas cards with. Are you interested in getting a card from Sweden? If so E-mail me your address to quende[at]spray.se

Thank you so much for your sweet comments on my previous entry! There are many things in my home I want to change but reading your comments made me realize that it’s not so bad after all. I do have a nice home even though the colours on the cupboards is all wrong and the mirror wall is located too high up. It’s easy staring yourself blind on the details forgetting the bigger picture so thanks for reminding me of the bigger picture!

Anyway, moving on! Last year I did a Christmas card exchange with a couple of online friends. Since I thought it was a really fun thing to do I was wondering if anyone’s up for it this year. The concept is simple. I send you a Christmas card and you send me one. E-mail your adress to quende[at]spray.se if you’re interested!

A couple of days ago I received another candy exchange package. This time from Alyssa.

Dots
Skittles
M&Ms
Junior Mints
Reese’s Peanut Buttercup
Ring Pop
Sweetarts
Twizzlers
Nerds

I was thrilled to receive another pack of Reese’s Peanut Buttercups! Angie also sent me those and it’s probably the most delicious chocolate I’ve ever tasted! I saved them for last and ate them sloooowly. Now they’re all gone and I want more! T_T The M&Ms where delicious, of course. It’s kinda funny because I actually sent Alyssa a version of those which is common in Sweden called Smarties. I thought Nerds was a pretty cool type of candy since I’ve never had candy that small before (I liked the pink ones the best) and since I love chocolate I obviously loved the Junior Mints. All the rest of the candy was yummy as well but these were my favourites.

Thank you Alyssa!

I’ve done a candy exchange with Angie and Tiff. I got American candy from Angie and Filipino candy from Tiff.

This is what I got from Angie:

Ring Pop x 2
100 Grand x 2
Laffy Taffy x 6
Boo Bracelet
Pop Tarts x 3, one opened in the photo.
Reese’s Peanut Buttercup
Hershey’s Milk Chocolate
Fun Dip
Blow Pop x 2
Pop Rocks

I loved getting to taste Pop Tarts! It’s one of those things I’ve seen in a lot of American movies and was really curious about. I know Pop Tarts is considered candy but I think it tasted more like cookies. Actually kind of like a type of cookies my mom always bakes for christmas. My favourite of all the stuff Angie sent me was the Peanut Buttercups. It might be the most delicious chocolate I’ve ever tasted! How will I go on knowing there’s such delicious chocolate out there which I won’t be able to get my hands on again?

And this is what I got from Tiff:

Peanut Kisses
Chichacorn Garlic
Pinasugbo
Patillas de Pili
Dried Mangorind
Crispy Pili
+ A cute postcard!

The candy Tiff sent me was really cool because it all feels very exotic to me. It doesn’t remind me of anything you can buy here in Sweden. It’s all very natural compared to the candy available here. I really liked the Pinasugbo which is some kind of delicious tasting sugarcoated fruit. The chichacorn was also really delicious. It’s kinda like pop corn which tastes like garlic. Sounds weird, tastes good.

This exchange was a really fun thing to do and I liked all the candy that was sent to me from both Angie and Tiff. Thank you girls!

These are sattelite photos of Hultsfred town centre where I live.

The red line is the main street which can’t be longer than 60 meters. It’s a small town. The red dot is the three story house where I live and the blue one my school.
