    Great hair days

    03/12/2015

    A lot of people have been asking me where to get your hair extensions in Bangkok or even in Thailand. I hear horror stories about people doing it at random places and also people who go and do it for 20000 baht with a result no better than mine. I honestly think it’s a waste of money paying the same price as back home seeing there are lots of talented Thai’s that does this every day. I’ve found my favourite place to get it done and it’s Union mall. You can go on the 5 th floor in the beauty section and do it pretty much anywhere. They have tons of places there. My hair was so short after I went for a cut in August so I had to get a refill. I paid 4000 bath  two ponytails of  human hair. The length was 22″. I think they weigh around 100 g each so my hair was pretty heavy for a while. You will lose a bit of hair in the beginning, it’s normal.

    This place is really amazing because they understand the importance of thick hair. For some reason, people only choose to put on one ponytail which I think looks really unnatural. I got mine attached with micro loops which is really good for your hair. At least for mine, it works out  a lot better than the keratin as lose my own hair too when I detach it. The loops you can just pop out whenever, but you should go back and get it done by a professional.

    Keep in mind that it will hurt for the first week or so!

    Union mall is a bit out of the center but it is located right on the MRT Pahon Yothin and is super easy to find.

    Loving the gold details. Perfect with my iPhone gold.

    There’s a new brand on the market, and it’s Sudio Sweden. Needless to say they are designed by Swedes, so you should be expecting some simple designs and good quality. I’ve got the honors of trying them out and I’m really satisfied with them so far.Since I couldn’t sleep on the plane to Norway this weekend it was a life saver. They block out the sound nicely and have a nice and soft sound to them. They are compatible with both IOS and android. I also love the design of the earphones, black and gold, very classy! There’s more colours and designs as well, I chose the Vasa black and gold.

    Christmas feelings

    This place is so photogenic. It's in at the viewpoint in Benidorm. <3

    This place is so photogenic. It’s in at the viewpoint in Benidorm.  Somehow it makes me think of Christmas, hehe <3

    Can you believe it’s almost Christmas already?

    I know it’s over a month from now but time has been flying by so fast lately. One second we’re flying around the world for holidays, then packed with work and studies. I’ve been pretty much busy every minute since we got back, and I don’t mean busy doing fun stuff…

    It’s gonna feel good after Christmas time when we get to chill more.

    I just came back from a weekend trip to Norway for a seminar in communications and I didn’t even have time to go back to see my family, so I’m super bummed I can’t go home for Christmas and new years back home in Levanger. This is actually the first year I’m spending Christmas without one of my parents, but happy to be here and celebrate it with Tom and in Bangkok too.

    At least I got to buy lots of Norwegian Christmas treats, decorations AND we got a Christmas tree too!

    I’m back to studying now, gotta learn this statistics subject by heart.

    Agh, there’s also the Ploenchit fair tomorrow, that always brings me back to Christmas mood!

    Will I be seeing you guys there?

    Just watched this video and it hit me in the right places.

    In this day and age, us girls (as well as guys!) are oppressing our emotions and expressions from everyday life. Whether it’s because we are told that it’s wrong, see that it’s too over-the-top or simply just being shy. A lot of negative feelings have been wrongly associated with letting our true feelings show. I personally laugh out loud and sing along to songs on the radio, but have been guilty at times of holding back my tears or covering my screams of joy when my favourite football team scores a great goal.

    #LoveMyExpressions

    It’s quite a shame as we have so much in us to show to the world but have been lead to believe we can’t really let it show. There shouldn’t be a limit on what we can express. From now on (little by little) I won’t be hiding no more. There’s definitely a time and place for everything of course and sometimes it may be inappropriate to be laughing – but that’s just common sense. My intention is just to stop holding back those moments of joy or sadness! I hope you guys join me in this as well! The way we live our lives and how we spend it shouldn’t be dictated by how other people view us – or how we THINK people view us.

    Smile, laugh, cry, be angry! Do it while you can, it’s free 😀

    Creds to ponds for being able to connect with our feelings like that.

    Día de los Muertos

    Since Tom opened a mexican restaurant this year, we thought it would be a great idea to dress up in Dia del los muertos costumes aka. day of the dead. It’s celebrated the 1st and 2nd and is a Mexican celebration similar to our Halloween.

    Love this background. The restaurant is full of paintings like this!!!

    Tom got his costume while we were visiting the states, and seeing this was a one size you can imagine how large the costume was on him. Safe to say we took it to the tailor to make it at least 5 sizes down. I have NEVER seen one size that big. Oh Americans….  I was planning to get my stuff from eBay but I was late as always and ended up having to find something in Bangkok, I didn’t want to gamble on it arriving in 14 days.

    I did order some bridal flowers from them though, and they were perfect, so glad I didn’t buy them from the states. These looked so real and costed only a couple of dollars. I also ordered some fake tattoos that arrived within a week so that was perfect. I’ve never found black temporary tattoos with shadow in Bangkok before, so that was a catch. I think they were under 1 dollar shipping included. I love ebay. But hate them for making it so hard to retrieve my old account, that I still haven’t gotten back!!

    Managed to smudge out my make-up within 10 minutes... hehe

    The corset, skirt and stockings are all from bottom floor at platinum. They have so many nice things there, and the lady that owns the shop is so helpful. This is definitely my new go to place for costumes.

    Halloween in Bangkok was pretty fun and we started off at Casa Azul in Ari where they had a professional make-up artist, followed by some dancing at Live RCA and some after partying at …. Mixx. (It’s right next door to home).

    What did you guys do for Halloween?

    Just received this beautiful piece from Daniel Wellington. I rarely buy watches, as I never find anything to fit my taste. I like simple watches and when there’s as little as one detail that’s wrong or too much, I just can’t make myself wear it. I either end up getting large watches or simple ones leather with a clean design. Second one  describes Daniel Wellington’s wrist watches perfectly. I love how the details don’t outdo each other and how carefully everything has been put together. Super classy!

    My favourite watch is the Classic Bristol.

    Their watches make me think of summer, and I think it’s the perfect accessory for every occasion from having lunch with your friends, attending a formal event or even to make yourself look smart for that job interview you got planned.

    If you would like to get one of these babies make sure to use “dwanita” for a 15% discount at checkout. The code is only valid until the end of this month so you better hurry!
