Condition your eyelashes

Image
One thing we often forget is that our eyelashes is also hair exactly as the hair on the top of our head, and hair needs to be taken care of. Just as the hair on our head, the eyelashes suffer daily stress from different mascaras, eyescratching and not removed makeup. Even if you remember to remove all makeup before bed, it's is often forgotten that our lashes needs to be nourished.  I've always used oils from the body shop to put on my eyebrows and lashes after I go to bed, but I desided to try something new. I went to a store in Stockholm and asked what I should use. They recommended an eyelash conditioning cream from Talika. I haven't had time to try it out, but I promise that I'll post a review after I used it a couple of weeks. Love, Tilda T. ❤️ En sak man ofta glömmer bort är att ögonfransar ocksÃ¥ är hÃ¥r, och precis som det pÃ¥ huvudet behöver de tas hand om. Precis som hÃ¥ret pÃ¥ huvudet utsätts ögonfransarna för dagligt slitage. Man har mascara, kliar sig i ögonen o...

Keeping warm and fashionable this fall

Image
The weather is getting cooler, the leaves are turning red and colourfull. People are  drinking hot cocoa wrapt in blankets. This is the time where we all can gorge in cozy scarves and sweaters !  I recently went fall-shopping and got some scarves that I belive will be suited for this falls fashion trends. I bought a beige/camel-coloured scarf that I can idé with all of my black and blue jackets and I bought a white one from the same brand in white for my grey and beige winter coat. When you have these colours you can mix and match for many different looks. You can have a blue jacket with a white scarf for a cute girl-next-door look or you can have the same jacket with the beige for a more sophisticated look. Nu när hösten har kommit och löven har börjat falla börjar man klä sig mer mysigt. Man gÃ¥r i stora tröjor och halsdukar. Det är verkligen en tid för mys!  Jag va nyss Ã¥ hösthandlade lite och köpte lite inför det lite kallare vädret. Jag köpte bland annat tvÃ¥ halsduk s...

Haul!!

Image
I was out looking for a mascara and a new bottle of revlons color bomb in 1002, but as usually I bought more than that. There was an offer at hollister on their body sprays, 3 for €20 ($25)! I just had to buy all three instead of one.. I dont usually shop at hollister, but their scents are truly amazing!  Jag var och shoppade efter en mascara och revlons color bomb i 1002, men som vanligt sÃ¥ blev det lite mer än sÃ¥. Det fanns ett erbjudande inne pÃ¥ hollister för deras body spray, 3 för 204:- !! Jag var ju bara tvungen att slÃ¥ till! Jag brukar inte handla pÃ¥ hollister förutom deras dofter som luktar sÃ¥ otroligt gott!  I was going to buy my color bomb at a hair saloon, but the hairdresser recommended Maria Nilas colour refresher in silver instead. It was a little bit more pricy but he convinced me that it was better for my hair so I decided to give it a go! I also bought fudge colour conditioning treatment for blond hair which it supposed to give my hair a less dull look.  ...

My hair care routine!

Image
My hair has always been a little wavy and I’ve had a lot of trouble getting it to stay the way I want it to. It isn’t curly or straight but more like something in between, it usually depends on the weather. Therefore I used a lot of heat on it, either I’d curl it or straighten it. I washed my hair with shampoo twice and then conditioner once. Then I’d blow-dry and straighten it. I bleached and colored my hair at least once every other month. This lead to really frizzy hair with a lot of split ends which I had to cut way to often! I’ve read about this special method where you only wash your hair with conditioner and it would always be about how great it is for your hair and that it would make your hair grow faster and be thicker. But then they'd say that the conditioner had to be a specific brand that could only be imported from some "hipster" website with only super expensive organic products. All this made me just scroll by and giving up on trying it out....

Redesigning my blog!

Image
Follow my blog with Bloglovin I'm redesigning my blog! I recently changed the name of the blog to  tildao.bloglovin.com My intentions is to change from an every day log-blog to a more Lifestyle-beauty-health-blog. I've always been really passionate about beauty and the things that come hand in hand with that is health and lifestyle. If you have any questions or thoughts please leave a comment!! I'll be back in by next post with how I changed my hair care routine! Love Tilda T. ♥ Jag funderar även pÃ¥ att skriva samma text pÃ¥ svenska för att det ska bli lättare för mina svenska följare och eftersom jag själv är svensk sÃ¥ är det ju bara en ännu bättre anledning till att skriva pÃ¥ bÃ¥de svenska och engelska. I fortsättningen kommer alla inlägg skrivas först pÃ¥ engelska och sen samma pÃ¥ svenska! Vi hörs!  Kram Tilda T.  ♥

Finally!!!!

Image
Hello! I'm finally taking a break from work for about two weeks! It feels great to have some time to rest and just focus on friends and family. The last time I had more than the weekend of was in February... sooo... It's about time!! haha I'm a very "carpe diem" kind of person and I don't have any major plans.. I will just see what comes up and I'll try to rest as much as possible These pictures are from yesterday when me and my family went fishing! :) Love T.

I started a youtube channel!!!

Image
Hello! I've decided to try something new It is something I've been wanting to do for so many years now, but I never really did... I uploaded my first video on YouTube!! in 2009 I started my youtube account and subscribed to 100 different beauty gurus. Ever since then I wanted to do the same thing! I did some videos that I never really finished I guess the reason for that lays in my lack of confidence at the time.... and after that I never really had the time to do anything other than school and work I started blogging because I felt I needed to do at least something creative and blogging was something I could do anywhere at any time. It was so fun to finally do it and I will probably continue doing it! I will still use the blog as my main interest The video I made is a tutorial on my go-to clubbing look. I hope you enjoy it and please leave a comment here with criticism!!!! Please subscribe for more videos ! Love T.

Stressed out in school

Image
Iced latte while chilling on the balcony Hello! Wow! Graduation is just around the corner! I really can't believe it! The sad thing is that I have so many things to do even though I graduate in three weeks... When my siblings was in their last year they had nothing to do for the last month or two... I really wish that it was like that for me too... I haven't got enough sleep in more than a week and it is starting to ruin my motivation... We all have times where we feel like everything is going in the wrong direction and this last year of school I've been so stressed out that I don't have the energy to be doing the things I love... I just have to cope these three weeks and then get through another two weeks of playing in an orchestra from morning to the evening. I have gone through worse. But the stress is affecting not only my school work, but also my private life... Many people I know struggle with this the last year(or ...

Friends and food

Hello! This is the amazing burger I ate today! I had an amazing day today! Me and my friends met up in town before going to a restaurant The first place was fully booked for the night, but we ended up at a pretty decent place After eating we went to do something else, we thought that we might go to a bar... But we just couldn't find a place to sit down at, haha we just wondered around town being indecisive of what we should do. We ended up at a little place near the station drinking a little bit It was cozy and fun, I hope we'll redo this again soon! Love T.

My dog usually don't jump up in my bed and when he cuddles, he likes to sit near my feet instead of in my lap, haha Today a family friends dog had gotten into my bed and was sound asleep Even though I woke up way earlier than I should have, I felt rested and it was one of the best mornings I ever had Today I'm going to meet up with my boyfriend before he leaves for Prague I will totally miss him It is only for four days, but I still will miss him a lot... He is leaving today and we are meeting up for some coffee I'll post some pictures later!

Baking with grandma

Home made raspberry macaroons Hello! A while back me and my grandma had a bake off! The one who could make the prettiest and tastiest macaroon would win.. I made raspberry and she made chocolate These are mine and guess who won? I did!! :D over my grandma! It is almost impossible to cook better than you grandma, haha But she had never made macaroons and I used to do it quite often a year back Hers got all fluffy and didn't all have a smooth surface as mine did Hers tasted good, but mine was better all in all.. To make our macaroons we both used the recipe from a book that I got from my sister for dog sitting her little sheltie! Love T.

Norrebro Harbor, which my grandpa helped to build many years ago Hello! Today the weather was so amazing! The sun was out and it was near 20 degrees! I just want spring to end and summer to start! I long for the picnics at the harbor Drinking coffee and eating sandwiches with friends and family Taking that last dip in the ocean before going home and eating marshmallows... I just  don't want anything to do, only small things for the summer house... No assignments No sleepless nights No stress Just me, friends and family... Love T.

Longing for summer

Image
Drinking a home made blueberry/blackberry smoothie So ready for summer. I just can't wait to get out of these black jeans and getting in to a pair of shorts. Changing my sweater to a tank top and my boots to flip flops and sandals. Changing movie nights to barbecues. Changing the gym for running along the beach. I'm especially longing for the switch between a hot latte to a iced latte and frappes... I just want to graduate and finish school to have the greatest gap year of them all! In summer I'll move from my apartment to my family's old summer house near BÃ¥stad. Tomorrow it is exactly one month left of school, although the last week and a half is just saying goodbye to the school and preparing for graduation day. Update: I just bought an iPhone 6 instead of my Samsung Galaxy note 3... Hopefully I'll be as satisfied as I was with the samsung. Even though the samsung has more possibilities, I kind of long for that simplicity the iPhone has. ...

Thoughts at the balcony

Hello! I'm sitting here at my balcony with an espresso in my hand... The birds are singning for eachother and the sun is out, yet it is still very cold... I got my feet snuggled up in a furry blanket, which is getting me to forget the cold weather.. I wish all the people on earth could join me in this peacefullness. Even all the bad guys... Because I truly belive that people who do mean actions, they haven't really gotten the chance to stop and reflect on their life and what they're doing...  They're brainwashed to be some kind of robot that does whatever they're told... So if they just could be given back the real reality, they wouldn't be able to be cruel anymore... Maybe just maybe sittning on this balcony with a warm drink in their hand would help treat their evil... Sorry for this serious and kind of spiritual text haha... It is just the power of the espresso I guess.. Love T.

Graduation and friends

Hello! I'll be graduating in Science (college-level) in a month and me and my classmates have come so much closer this last year I guess it is some kind of phenomenon that happens when you know that you won't see each other anymore after graduation, haha Anyway.. today me and some friends went to this lovely coffee place called "Ebba's skafferi". They have home made baked goods which are the size of a brick! You can't possibly finish one by your self so you have to share, which is actually pretty nice and convenient... Ebbas has a rustic vibe to it and only has recycled furniture which I truly love! I go there every other week and I love it!!!! See you soon! Love T.
