I’m back! – This time with something completely new – are you ready? I am, so here we go!

As I am an art student, a lot of my time is spend taking pictures, painting, drawing – all that. My last project was a photo project, and to be honest and not modest at all: I think it turned out pretty damn good!
You may have seen Annie Leibovitz’ portrait of Whoopi Goldberg in a tub of milk? If no, you should google it – it’s pretty iconic. I was inspired by this picture, and chose to put a friend of mine in a tub of “milk” (“milk” because it was powdered milk dissolved in water – don’t have the money or the cows to fill a tub with milk!).
Let’s not stall this anymore. Here are the pictures! (Model: Olivia Sinclair)

There you go – you have now seen the first of my ‘serious’ art. I am pretty proud of how these pictures turned out, and I can’t tell you how excited I was while editing them. I kept shrieking of joy and giggling of pure excitement. This was also exaggerated, as right before we took the pictures, I had this idea of how they were going to be rubbish and amateur-looking. BUT THEY DIDN’T! *at least that’s what I think – of course it’s up to the individual, as art is : )

I hope you enjoyed this little ‘shot of art’, hopefully I will be able to do more posts like this!

Here’s a little ear candy for the fourth of December:
Speaking of December – How excited am I for Christmas this year?! Can’t wait! And may I just add that Pentatonix is probably one of my favorite music groups at the moment – they have been for maybe a year now since I first heard their cover of Lorde’s ‘Royals’. Have I said this before? If I have here’s just a “gentle” reminder as to why they are so awesome.

Merry Christmas or happy december if you are not into all that baby Jesus stuff, I hope it’s a good one! 🙂

Well hello and welcome to my first ever blogpost! I can’t say I’m not excited. Excited to get started on this little adventure of exploring the world of blogging and just sharing with you some of what I like to spend my time on! (You will notice an excessive amount of ‘!’ – that is just pure excitement, and the fact that I’m not particularly fond of the smileys on this site). Anywho, today I am introducing a new thing that I have come up with – maybe it exists somewhere, but I have not come across that in my day (; – as you may have gathered from the title of this blog, this idea is what I like to call Selfie Sunday! Now this is NOT a thing where I will be posting endless amounts of selfies for all of you to enjoy (that happens on my instagram, that you can find here), it is however a thing where I will be drawing/painting/creating a picture of myself – hence Selfie – and post it here! Just a little disclaimer: it is not going to be a masterpiece of any sort (unless I by some miracle find great inspiration and time). It will most likely be a quick drawing or sketch, and is just meant to reflect on my mood and overall situation – so no masterpiece here!

So today I have had a day where things needed to get done: I had to run some errands and do some school work (which I am still working on, this is pure procrastination – yay!). Something I am pretty excited for is autumn. Autumn clothes, makeup and probably most of all: autumny food and drinks! Autumn is just overall a really great season – it might be a tad wet and cold, but you know what, I don’t mind it that much, as long as I have a really nice and comfy sweater/cardigan etc. I have recently been starting to explore the world of lipstick, which is something I used to stay away from… it can just get kind of messy – at least that’s what I thought. I have mainly been getting the Rimmel London – Kate lipsticks, because they are matte, which is perfect for me. The glossy lips are just a little too showy for me, and I am more of a relaxed person I must say. So the Kate lipsticks are just amazing and just what I like! (They also smell absolutely wonderful, which is a bonus!). You might be thinking why all that talk about lipstick? I thought you were going to draw or something? Let me answer that for you real quick. I used the lipstick in my drawing. I was just so inspired by this gorgeous color of the #107 Rimmel London – Kate lipstick, so I wanted to incorporate it, and that I did.

I realize that it looks a little uncomfortable or like that… I swear that’s not how I feel – I just hate writing papers for school, and this one is especially tricky, so I am not all giddy today – not saying that I am sad or mad or anything like that, just not jumping up and down in excitement (;

I hope you enjoyed this and will continue to do so as I expand the Selfie Sunday idea (:
Happy Sunday to you all!
