LongLashes

Since it was womens day on Thursday, the local cinema had a "womens day offer" on two movies, My week with Marilyn and The Iron Lady. So me and the two best ladies around headed for the cinema and ofcourse we chose to watch My week with Marilyn which I have been dying to see since I heard they were making a movie about Miss.Monroe.
I loved it, a really sweet movie which showed how Marilyn Monroe really was behind the scenes and behind the bombshell everyone saw on the outside. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it!

The last couple of days i've been on a baking and cooking streak! It started on Tuesday when I made these delicious cheese and chives scones which turned out really good, then each day since i've made something new. Wednesday I made one of my favourite "comfort food" dishes which is Sheperds Pie ofcourse and yesterday ecspecially for womens day(being why I decorated them with pink icing) I made coconut and blueberry muffins ♥ Everyone liked them, which just makes me want to bake and cook even more things ♥ Now I'm going to go have a second helping of a blueberry coconut muffin, just because it's Friday!

I can't beleive I forgot to mention this here on my blog, me and love finally got around to ordering our plane tickets to BANGKOK!! ♥ We booked one-way tickets since we have no idea how long we're going to stay and how long we can afford to stay, so the trip home will be booked while we're there.
So in 10 days(17th March, which happends to be my 23rd birthday), we will be leaving to Thailand with each our backpack and a couple of months of adventure! Apart from Thailand we're planning on going to Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos too which all border to Thailand ♥

I finally received this pretty necklace I won a llittle while ago! Yayy, can't wait to wear it!! By the way, have a look at TheBlackWardrobes site.

Last Saturday I had my first make-up project in a long time, a girl from the youth club I used to work at had asked me to do some make-up on 6-7 girls for a photoshoot she was going to have. Ofcourse I said yes even though it wasn't paid, but it seemed like something fun to be a part of ♥ You can see her blog over here by the way! So during the day on Friday and some of Friday evening I spent my time drawing these make-up charts, one for each girl. The photoshoot was during the day on Saturday and I kept on going from 2pm and until I was barely done with the last girl and we had to get out from the building at 7pm with only a 10 minute break! Was fun though and all the girls including the photographer seemed to be satisfied, unfortunately I didn't have any time to take any photos while doing their make-up and when they were done. So I'll post some as soon as I get them from Rebecca!!
Saturday evening ended over at a friends apartment, with tacos, her cute dogs that I always want to take home and then some homemade cinnamon buns which were delicious ♥

So, on Wednesday I had my last day at work in the kindergarden. Which means Thailand just keeps on getting closer and closer, at this very minute me and love are leaving Gardermoen airport in 13 days. Thursday I didn't really do much apart from making this delicious cheese bread and lazing about all day ♥ If you're interested in the recipe you can find it over here.
Friday my sister and loves brother came over for dinner, me and sis made these chicken enchiladas, first time ever and they turned out great(spicy...but delicious)! While the guys spent the rest of the evening playing their playstation me and sis sat down to watch the Oscars, enjoying seeing all the pretty dresses and gorgeous people! Friday it was their turn to invite us over for dinner, we had a relaxed evening making some homemade pizzas, watching Senkveld and then me and sis tried out a new recipe from one of my chocolate cooking books. Not that succesful, our first time making cheesecake brownies..and the cheesecake part didn't want to bake. Still tasted yummy!!

A week since last update and yet another week closer to mine and loves big adventure! The past weekend consisted pretty much of lots of delicious food, red wine and family ♥ On Friday my mummy surprised me with some sushi for the both of us, some spicy tuna maki and salmon roe maki for me and a set menu for her, yumm!! We had a quiet evening infront of the tv, talking and enjoying our food and wine while love was working a late shift!
Saturdays plan was more wine over at my sisters place along with our loves and my brother inlaws brand new gigantic speakers that needed some testing! Sis had baked some yummy foccachia which is a perfect snack while drinking red wine from the cutest bottle. The four of us (along with the cats) stayed up til 4am talking, drinking, laughing, listening to old LPs on my grandfathers record player and watching silly music videoes over and over ♥
We borrowed the guestroom and when we woke up the morning the food just kept coming, sis made us american pancakes for breakfast, some with bacon in and some with choc chips in!! Along with a cup of coffee, breakfast couldn't have been any better ♥ Our Sunday ended over at my grandmothers house where we were invited over for a fish dinner and apple strudel with strawberries and apple strudel(???) for dessert!

Sunday was cinema day for us! Me and love still had a birthdaygift to give to the little guy, so Sunday was the perfect day to do so. Luckily the movie he wanted to watch was one we definately didn't mind watching either, Puss in Boots in 3D ♥ So off we went to the movies, bought our popcorn, baconcrisps, coke, ice tea ready for a Sunday afternoon with the best little guy ever ♥
Then 90 minutes and some "oooooooh's" later (you'll get it after you watch the movie..)  it was all over and we headed out into the sunshine again, heading to the inlaws for dinner!
The best part if you ask me being the dessert for the evening, which was "fastelavensboller" ofcourse, which are sweet buns cut in half, filled with whipped cream, covered in icing sugar and then eaten with jam on for those who want ♥ Delicious!! 

Spring decided to show it's face this weekend, and I can tell you I'm definately not complaining about it! I've been home sick from work all week, so blue skies and a little sun shining through the windows made things a little better ♥ And with the best little guy in the world coming over to visit it was a good Friday!
We watched Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, had his choice for dinner which was tacos along with homemade guacamole, played Disney monopoly and finished the evening on the couch with some sweets and the scary ending of the Harry Potter movie. After that it was bedtime for the little one and series watching on my laptop for me ♥




















Yesterday morning started with chocolate-maple milkshake for breakfast infront of the tv with the rest of the house, ofcourse I forgot to take pictures of it before I finished the whole thing! The rest of the day kind of flew by, watching A Gifted Man, falling asleep in my bed again and doing some "spring cleaning".
For yesterdays late dinner I made this spicy mexican style pork chop with mash, homemade rolls and broccoli ♥
