Dublin (part 9) - Online shopping super cheap brie cheese

The second day of my second Dublin trip we didn't leave the house, barely even the couch. You see we bought a lot of stuff for the Asia trip this summer because there were a thousand things we hadn't bought yet and back then it was only what? three and a half week left?  Yeah, so we had a lot to fix. Since robert's been in dublin it's been hard to just get enough time to fix all this together so now that I was in dublin for almost a week we decided to take one day for those necessities.

Sweet robert in the morning. Little tired <3

So what did we buy then? A lot of things as I said. But first of all - Eyemasks.

The first eyemask was one of the cheapest eyemasks around on ebay, and they had these cute fronts, so I bought myself a panda and robert wanted something more neutral so he got a black one with ZZZZ's  

But then I saw this. A 3D eyemask that leaves space for your eyes to move around! My eyelashes are superlong, so I always have problem sleeping with regular eyemasks because they kind of... get stuck? So when I saw this I had to get that one too! (they were like one dollar each so it didn't really matter) Robert wanted one too but said he would use the other eyemask as insurance in case this one made us look like bug eyes hahah. Is it just me or does it almost look like a bandeu bra? haha! Can't wait to see how funny we will look with it on!

The next thing is an obvious one - mosquito repellant! There will be a lot of infectious mosquitoes over in asia, so we need to protect ourselves! We've taken the vaccination precautions and brought malaria profylax with us, but you can't vaccinate against all the diseases they spread so we still have to be super careful!

The next thing we bought (or actually I bought) is this waterproof camera bag that supposedly will make me able to submerge my camera up to 20m depth. I'm thinking that way I can snorkel and maybe (if I dare!) even dive with it and take pictures under the sea! :D

Somewhere in the middle of the long day of researching what was the best mosquito repellant, and whether we needed a mosquito net, and what waterproof camera bag was good and buying stuff and so on we needed a snack. And in the fridge robert had brie cheese!! It's pretty expensive in sweden so I wondered how he could afford to snack on it. But apparently he had got one pack of brie for 1 Euro! (That's like 10kr and a little over 1 dollar)  so we just snacked away! So cheap! I should have brought some home :x So we snacked and continued to research and buy stuff.

Another mosquito repellant. Though this one is a plug in version that you plug in and within 30 minutes it will kill all insects and mosquitoes in the room! So great! So when we return for the night we put this on and we can go to bed safely without getting bitten! It's supposed to be super effective too. Hope it works as it claims haha.

And finally, a pretty silly thing. A mini compass to put on our backpacks. I didn't really think we needed one - it's not like we're going to treck alone in the woods or anything - but Robert said it can be good to have in the city also, like knowing which side of the subway station to go up on or something. Oh well, they were also under one dollar, so I didn't fuss. No point when they don't cost nothing lah!

Robert cooking food with a little murderous intent ;)

Then in the evening we were so hungry and tired that we stopped our relentless searching and buying and just cooked and eat dinner instead. We hadn't gone to the store so there weren't much home - but we managed to scrape together some breaded fish with corn and peas.

Then, finally decided it was time for some relaxation. So the rest of the evening we watched hunter x hunter and chatted with roberts roomie Sara and her parents that was also there for a visit.

We never left the house that day, but we surely did the next. But that's for next time :)

Sunblock for the super-fair

So as you all already know by my pictures - I'm super pale.

I usually have spf 50 on and even so I burn in swedish sun. Now, going to a tropical heat like South east Asia will probably get me a second degree burn or something if I only use a spf 50, so I looked around for something else and found this:

 It's a Sunblock from neutrogena with spf 100+! And it's also broad spectrum so it protects you from both UVA and UVB. It has gotten pretty good reviews and is water resistant up to 80 minutes.

Since I can only bring small tubes with me on the plane (less that 100ml) I ordered two of these small 88ml packages and hopefully it will be enough, otherwise I will have to try some asian sunblock ;)

Spf 100 sounds pretty crazy though, like I'm an albino haha. It's supposed to protect me from 99% of the uv rays though, so i think that's pretty neat. As long as it works. Let's hope so!

Red, pink and white

Today i woke up at my dear friend camilla's place <3 we stayed up way too long and talked until we toppled over from exhaustion :) 

In the morning i needed to get to the pharmacy to get my prescribed malaria profylax pills for the trip and almost bit my tounge at the price!! For eighteen days it was almost 700kr!! The thing is that when i went to the vaccination clinic and asked how much the malaria pills were she said it was just over 100kr, but it turns out that she took 100kr to get me the prescription. So all in all for 18 days it's almost 800kr! That's like what? Over 40kr per pill! Yikes!

I've already paid though so i really hope they're any good lah!

Then we walked around the stores nearby and camilla showed me this tiny store with gorgeous clothes! I was still reeling from the money spent on the medecine so i didn't get anything (yes! I'm cheap lah! I don't like spending a lot of money at one, gives me a stonach ache lol!) but camilla did! We found this supercute dress that fit her like a glove:

So cute no? Both her and the dress <3 she got it for only 199kr so it was a real catch! The sales woman were pretty pushy though, i didn't like it, but camilla liked it, she's weak to those flattering sales reps haha! This time it was good though, because the dress was really ment for her!

After the mini-shopping we carried some groceries back to camilla's boyfriend's place that she had bought for him and found a beautiful little sakura tree that i had to take a picture of <3

After that it was time for me to go home so since my sense of direction is absolutely horrible camilla made sure i got to the subway before we said bye bye for this time </3

I will see you again soon sweet <333 thx for yesterday and today!!

New top

I'm not a fashion blogger. Why? Well for one I don't have the body to be a model of any sort, I'm lazy with make up and clothes in the morning and I don't like western fashion that much. I love asian fashion, but once again I don't really have the body type for asian clothing haha! I'm way to curvy haha! Don't get me wrong I've kind of started to like my curves, but at the same time it means I can't wear all those cute clothes I love.

Another reason I couldn't do fashion blogging is probably because of this:

I tried to take outfit pictures on my new top and belt that I bought from ebay a few weeks ago. and well, I'm not really photogenic, or very good with the whole posing and showing of clothes concept.

Stiff little me in front of the camera

Hahaha! I love this picture. I was trying to place the camera in a good angle on the table so I could take some pictures in the awesome soft light that happened to be right on top of the table and this was the test shot to see where the frame was. And it's such a funny picture I think! Suuuper long arms, no body, and a neutral, almost serious expression haha! But the lighting was skin perfect, and so with a lot fewer tries than usual I finally managed to get a decent picture of me:

It became my facebook profile pic, because a good picture of me is usually very far in between haha!

Oh! And to make it into kind of a fashion blogpost of some sort:
I got both the top and the belt from ebay from separate sellers and combined they went for just over 8 dollars (not even 60kr) !!!

Budget buy ~~ <3

Friendly (and pink) gifts ♥

So I've been playing around a lot with my new camera, and then I remebered that I haven't showed you the other gifts I recieved for my birthday - the ones I got from my friends <3

So I picked up my camera and tried to remedy that ;)

 The card I got with the presents from Camilla, erika and their boyfriends :) It says "21 years. Congratulations! Hope you have a fantastic birthday! Now it's a whole year until next time! Hugs! ♥ From Lilla my (Camilla), Erika, Unicorn(charlie) :) (and) Christian."

In the packages that came with the card I got a cute tray, three cute sprinkles containers with mini meringues, mini hearts and strawberry pearls. I also got a pretty pink cake tray with a lid, but it had to stay at my parents house for now since I don't have anywhere to put it yet :( I still have a shared kitchen and so I don't want to put it there. But I will have it on my table in the new apartment I'll get after summer :) ♥

 From Cecilia who had just been overseas I got a little bag with goodies from Victoria's Secret. A pair of panties, a nailpolish and nailpolish removal ♥  I really do wish we had a Victoria's secret here in sweden. I've been online on their webshop and they have such a crazy amount of cute and sexy clothes! (Especially underwear ♥)

 Close up pic on the nail polish remover. 32 nail polish remover pads with strawberry scent from L.A. Colors.

 Close up on the nail polish. It's a pretty lilac color from the Color craze nail polish series. It says it had hardeners in it. Wonder if it will make my nails harder then? Also from L.A. Colors.

From Ellen and her boyfriend I received a cute little necklace from urban outfitters with my initial (S for Syrena which is my real name. Yes with a Y. No I didn't misspell my own name, it's just spelled like that lol.)

Short message to my friends: Thanks again to my sweetheart friends who decided to buy me presents even though I always tell them they don't need to :) ♥ And once again thank you for coming to celebrate with me, I love you all ♥

The first of many

I just got one of the first packages of my big ebay list of bought stuff. It's a big soft package with stuff that will hopefully make my hair look absolutely adorable without any heat ;)

I will try them out one of these days and then reveal and review them for you ;)

Clothes, stuff, and some more stuff

This is how my screen looked as I went onto my ebay account today. Lately, I've bought a lot of small stuff for delivery. Mostly I need clothes, and so I've been searching for some cute ones - but I've also bought some other fun stuff.

Let's just say I'm expecting a hell of a lot of packages these next few weeks lol!

It's also my birthday next week but I already know what I'm getting - in fact I helped my parents order it the other day - and I can't wait until the weekend so I can get my hands on it <3

Booty jeans!

I just got off work (i had closing) and in the lockerroom after changing back to regular clothes i noticed a little something in the mirror.

What is that? Could it be a BOOTY? Could it be that i've gotten a round pouty booty? Nooooo!

But yes!! I looked again, twirling and flexing (lol!) and i'll be damned if it wasn't a booty! And i always wanted one too.

Could it be a week early birthday present? Could it be a frickin miracle mirror that just happens to be present at my job to make workers feel good?

Or maybe just the results of the assmaster workouts (i've been working hard you know!)

I don't dare assume that though, so i'm going to go with the only obvious answer: It must be booty jeans i'm wearing.

You know, those jeans that loved your butt and makes it look even tastier - kind of like syrup on pancakes (Yum <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="">
Yup, suryp booty jeans, that's the answer.

(Btw anyone else wanting to eat pancakes now?)

FINALLY! Missha Perfect cover bb cream

So i've been reeeeally excited about the product that arrived at my doorstep the other day.
It's my long awaited missha perfect cover bb cream.

 When I opened the little box I had recieved a box of missha oerfect cover bb cream and also two complimentary samples from the seller. I bought my missha bb cream from a seller called f2plus1.
The bb cream seems to be real (I've checked a few different pointers online to determine real from fake) and the shipping took a little less than two weeks which is pretty fast.

 The two samples were a missha signature wrinkle filler bb cream and essential source hyaluronic acid skin treatment. The bb cream is one of missha's line for the more elderly skin, but the right one I don't have much info on. I think I'm going to look up how ot use it to see if it's any good.

And of course, the bb cream out of the box! I'll be using it for a while now to see if it makes any difference to my skin and give you a review later :)

New paranormal romance novels

So today i met up with sarah and emi in old town and we went to one of our favourite stores - the science fiction bookstore (Science fiction bokhandeln).
Contrary to the name it's not only science fiction books that you can find there. The booksstore is two stories and contain swedish and english books in all genres - roleplay books, figurines, manga, board games, card games and everything else nerdy.

It's a great bookstore that has a big selection of one of my favourite genres - paranormal romance. (It's what it sounds like - romance novels with paranormal beings involved. The famous twilight series is of course one example, but the genre is so much bigger than that - and is not only about glittering vampires. For example it can involve demons(for example demon lords or incubi), ghosts, wherewolves, witches/warlocks, faeries, elves, dwarfes.... And so on and so on!! The list is long - pretty much any creature you can imagine probably has a love story out there.

Anyway, i'm almost done with the last book of the fifty shades triology and then i need some new books and being in my favourite bookstore i was tempted and ended up buying two books (i wanted a third one - but it was temporarily out of stock so i will order it online later)

I bought the second book in the faerwick chronicles called water witch (the first one was called incubus and i really recommend it! It was deliciously sexy and had a thrilling plot.) and the first book in a (for me) new series called "swoon".

I have high hopes for both of them and hope i will have time to read more - especially as sping is coming - there's nothing cozier than sitting outside in the sun and reading a great book. <3 data-blogger-escaped-br="">

The cutest way to protect your phone

I bought myself an iphone cover when I was in japan last year, unfortunately I've managed to loose the magnet that pretty much holds the thing together. And then, my phone broke the other day, so I kind of think that it might have somethig to to with that the cover is not as good anymore as it used to be - and therefore I thought, why not get a new one?

So without further ado I checked differet sites for iphone covers and found these three on ebay:

I really like the diary type cover opening which fits me who wants to be an author ;) Also I  think it's steadier than my curent flip cover that flips open from the top. So, I only decided to go with diary type flip covers and these three were the cutest.

I think I'm leaning towards the last one though, but I'm not entirely sure yet.

What do you sweets think? :)

Kawaii shoes for summer

Summer still seems far away here in cold cold Sweden, so every little minute of sunshine here makes us dream of summer. For me I'm dreaming myself away to south east easia, sandy beaches, sun and adventure. The bad thing about it is that I won't be able to dress prettily when there - I can't bring much clothing or buy any even though I will be in the part of the world where all the cute clothing exists.

So instead, I'm drooling over some pretty shoes I found on ebay.

Ah, even though I won't be able to wear anything even moderately fun over there I still want to go now! I want sun, I want summer, I want to wear a bikini and bathe in the sea!

Summer get here already!

New jeans

So i actually bought two new jeans, both of them size 38(european size), and both of them from the same brand (rainbow) yet for some reason only one of the two pairs fit. The cargo-styled jeans were unfortunately way too big and the smaller size is already sold out so there's not much i can do.

But at least i got these jeans and they snug fabulously around my bum so i really like them :)

They're stretch though, and it's a new brand so i'm still quality checking them, but so far so good!

What do you think?

LOVE backpack

I've been needing a new backpack for a while now, and I've searched site after site, trying to find a cute yet functional backpack for everyday wear. Then for some reason I thought "okay, I've searched all the asian and european sites, what's left?" and then ebay came to mind. So, I found the cutest backpack, it seemed kinda functional too, so I bought it. And it arrived yesterday - and I LOVE it!

Backpack details - front pockets, lace and bow.

As you can see on the pictures it has the large front pockets and is a pretty bag overall which makes it good for school and everyday use when I travel so much, but at the same time it has a lot of cute details, like the bow, the lace and the different fabrics which makes me love it to bits!

It also seems to be pretty well sown, but time will tell if it's a good enough quality buy.
