Oh, Lola!

Skulle öppna mina nya miniparfymer från Marc Jacobs idag och jag har helt missat att det var två Lola och två stycken Oh, Lola! Trodde att alla fyra var Lola. En kul överraskning då, Oh, Lola! också är riktigt nice och somrig som doft :)

Blev först dock lite "rädd", jag älskar "Daisy", men sommar "Daisy Eau So Fresh" doften tycker jag luktar blä, men som tur var inte fallet sådant här :)

Samsung ♡

Went with my Dad to buy a new TV for my new apartment today :) I only wanted a Samsung (I have a thing for Samsung stuff lately, my whole apartment is like Samsung:nized :P). Got the new 3D LED Smart-TV with the thin glass frame. A 46", the next size was 55", and that woud have been to big for the room. I wanted a 50", but Samsung don't do 3D in that size, just 40", 46" and 55".

Then he bought me the new ErgorapidoPlus vacuum-cleaner (as if I clean...haha... ;P). I also through the newest Sex and the City Blu-ray movie into the basket :)

Precious

Filmen som har fått en massa olika nomineringar, vunnit Golden Globes, samt Oscars och blivit megahype:ad med Mariah Carey i en av rollerna. Filmen är 1h40min lång och typ 5 minuter sammanlagt är Mariah med... Hatar filmer som "ljuger" om rollerna. Filmen var intressant, men jag var besviken, förväntade mig något mycket bättre.

Det är en mörk historia och det är hemskt att se att folk verkligen har det så, men den var tyvärr relativt tråkig...

In New York City's Harlem circa 1987, an overweight, abused, illiterate teen who is pregnant with her second child is invited to enroll in an alternative school in hopes that her life can head in a new direction. 

Någon annan som sett den?Vad tyckte ni?

Glee Tribute to Whitney Houston

Det var längesedan som jag gillade ett Glee-avsnitt. Senaste säsongen tycker jag att den mesta musiken som framförts har varit usel. Glee har helt tappat sin glans i mina ögon. Det enda som är kul nu är när Rory (Damian McGinty som vann "The Glee Project") är med. Jag tycker han är underbar. Känns verkligen som om det är dags för showen att sluta och detta tyvärr inte på sin topp. Denna veckas avsnitt var iaf en tribute till den helt amazing Whitney Houston och avsnittet var riktigt bra :)

Har plockat ihop låtarna som de framförde, några var lite udda val, men det var kul att se :)

Andréa's Own Way

We had this assignment to make an interview, and write it for our business english course at Malmö University. First my plan was to make one with Kevin Prince Boateng. I had the perfect  structure in my head, but that went down the drains when our Prof told us it should be something more career-oriented, so then my dear friend Andréa Lukic was the perfect candidate :)

Here's the result:

Zoran Lukic is almost a legend in the Swedish football world,  so you can imagine that a life as his daughter, who wants to make herself a name in the industry, can not have been easy. Especially when people always refer to you, not by your name, but as “Zoran Lukic daughter which tries to go in her father’s footsteps, and in this way, make a career for herself”. And it probably did not help that Andreá chose to be on the cover of the men’s magazines Slitz and Café.

In 2002 and 2003 Andréa’s father, Zoran Lukic got the biggest achievement in Swedish football one can get, the league. Furthermore he won the Swedish Cup and got to play qualifiers in Champions League. Zoran was the head coach of Djurgården IF and Andréa, who has always been a huge football fan, went to almost all of the games and with these successes her interest for the sport rose even more. She did not just want to watch the game and hope for her father’s team to win, she wanted to get to know the game better, get engaged in it, plunge down into the statistics of “maybe the world’s most beautiful sport”. This was when a dream started to form.

In high school Andréa studied media, with journalism and graphic design as extra subjects, so already then she knew that media was something she wanted to work with. Her thoughts never went to writing for tabloids; she had a vision which was not typical for a girl. Thereto mainstream was definitely not the thing she was going for. People warned her about how hard it is to get a foot in the door in Swedish media, so after she graduated, she panicked and moved to Madrid to get some distance from everything. The hope was to find herself and see if media really was the path she wanted to take with her life. In that particular moment she was not sure if she wanted to take the challenge on; to fight to get into the business in Sweden. After a while in Madrid her mind was set, her competitive side won and she was on a flight back to Sweden to give it a go.

Just after a couple of days at home, she got the opportunity to do some photos for the men magazine Slitz and grabbed it. “I never really thought about it, my impulsivity was the thing that sealed the deal.” It had the snowball effect and the next thing she knew she got the cover for Café. “I do not regret it, but naturally it was not something “positive” in the eyes of many people. In Sweden you cannot take people, who work with something as serious as journalism, seriously when they at the same time pose for magazines as Slitz or Café.”. Andréa wanted to be rebellious, to go her own way instead of listening to everybody else; she did not want to let herself be pushed down by those who thought negatively.

Rebellious or not, the men’s magazines did not make it easier for her career in the football world.


She had a really tough time; almost everywhere she went she heard comments as “That Zoran Lukic daughter who think she knows everything about football” or “That Slitz-chick that tries to go in her father’s footsteps”  etc. “It was really tough and even today I sometimes hear comments like that. Luckily I have managed to produce a couple of really good articles and interesting interviews in my early career, which keeps my bosses to have confidence in me”.  Early career yes, the turnaround came when she landed an interview at the world renowned company IMG that would change her path in life forever. “I did not have any big references in sports journalism, or even rather none, but They gave me an opening into this market, they believed in me from the very beginning.”. Without ANY references in sports journalism, IMG gave her the opportunity of a lifetime.  With a job, life was still not easy; people wrinkled their noses and thought that she rode on her father’s wave of success. It even went as far as people saying that she did not write her own articles; some persisted in believing that somebody else ghost wrote for her. “They simply could not take a good looking young girl in the same way as they took male sportswriters.”.

Football is a male-dominated world and a girl has to be thick skinned to have any success. Its not a grateful job, and as a girl you will receive, and have to deal with a lot of criticism, sometimes even hate. Andréa says that it gets better with time, she has been in this business for a couple of years now and most of the people know to take her seriously. “Girls has to be self-assertive at all times, twice as much as any male and that takes a toll on you.”. Even with all the bad parts the sport is Andréa’s passion; it is a blessing for her to get to work with what she really loves, even if it probably was not what her father dreamt about for her. “I do not think he wanted his only daughter to work in the ungrateful world of sports journalism”.

It may not have been the dream for her father, but Andréa finally is complacent with her life. Last year she moved to her World Cup skiing fiancé in Switzerland, she works for Sweden’s biggest online football-site FotbollDirekt, where she writes chronicles and texts about the sport. She sees a difference in the comments she gets in comparison to the male writers. “After their texts you almost never see any negativity. By me its the quite opposite.”. But it is not all bad, a lot of readers love her texts, her view on football and her way of writing,  nevertheless there is always that minority that persists in writing negative- and sometimes even brutal comments. “That is something that I have had to learn to live with, even if it is not always so easy”. Her bosses thinks that her writing is fantastic. “THAT is a fact that is worth much more than all the negative comments put together. “

The question still stands, from what she knows today, would she have done Café and Slitz again if she got the chance?

“Definitely. These photos can or shall not define the work I do in sports journalism.”. She even wants to take it further and advise young people to try to really find their own niche in life, to be themselves at all times and not to think so much about what the world around them will say. Of course you should always hold a professional stand, but she thinks that magazines like Slitz and Café are harmless. “If that’s the way you want to express yourself, then why not. If not, I understand that too.“. Her motto has always been to ”Think outside the box” and thanks to it she has managed to be successful in this hard world of sport. “Maybe I wouldn’t have been where I am today, if I was mainstream. Maybe I wouldn’t have been interesting enough. You never know what life has in store for you, but you have to take risk to gain something and you have to dare to be yourself to 100 percent”.

Marc Jacobs Lola

Köpte ett 3-pack med 10ml Marc Jacobs Lola parfym på färjan. Småparfymer är perfekta att ha i väskan eller när man reser. Just "Lola" tycker jag är en perfekt sommar parfym. Eller ja, typ alla Marc Jacobs dofter är perfekta för sommaren. Lola och Daisy är mina favoriter.

Där guld blir till pengar

Sommaren kommer med stormsteg, fast det kanske inte märks så idag, och då behöver väl vi alla några extra slantar. Jag vet inte hur det är hos er, men personligen är jag ganska slarvig med mina smycken. Speciellt örhängen kan jag slänga lite var som, eller tappa bort det ena :/ 48

SMS Guld är ett företag som köper ditt gamla guld. Du går in på deras hemsida, fyller i dina uppgifter så får du ett speciellt kuvert skickat hem till dig där du kan lägga i de smycken (enstaka eller kompletta) som du vill sälja. Ditt brev är försäkrat, så du löper ingen risk. När SMS Guld har mottagit ditt kuvert så värderar de ditt guld och du får pengarna på ditt konto . Det bästa av allt kan jag tycka är att man faktiskt har 3 dagars ångerrätt. Så snabbt och enkelt!

Priset fastställs efter den dagliga guldmarknaden, så de håller sig uppdaterade med ett högt guldpris hela tiden. Så har ni något guld som ni inte gillar eller som bara ligger och slänger där hemma, varför inte omvandla det till pengar? Just nu är guldpriset 390kr per gram. Är ni intresserade av att beställa ett kuvert eller att läsa mer om tjänsten så kika in på smsguld.se

Mittbena

Hade tid att dra till frisören ännu en gång under min vecka här. Körde denna gång en Brazilian Blowout som det så fint heter. Det är en behandling som håller i ca 3 månader (står 4-6 på nätet, men det är bullshit). Håret blir rakt och glansigt, samt att man återuppbygger hårstrået så det blir friskare. En riktigt bra behandling, som dock är lite jobbig att sköta direkt efter. På 72h får man inte blöta håret, inte sätta upp det eller något, och hela tiden försöka se till att det är så rakt och kammat som möjligt. 

Sedan så måste man använda sulfat fritt schampoo och balsam, för annars förstör man behandlingen. Dyrt är det också, men absolut värt det. Iaf i Polen där det kostar runt 2000kr istället för typ det dubbla i Sverige. 

Mittbena blev det också. Jag tycker det är sjukt snyggt, men på mig själv tycker jag det är sjukt svårburet, så blir nog att gå tillbaka till sidobena efter hårtvätten.

My first time with FroYo

Elina skriver jämt om Pinkberry och frozen yogurt som hon typ är beroende av. Själv har jag aldrig smakat det innan idag. Inne på Galaxy har de nu öppnat en yogoFruit så jag tog en au naturel idag med honung. Sjukt gott!
