Hi, my new blog is tamsinml.blog.com :-)

One more go

2010-10-22T15:59:00.008+02:00

I´m thinking about starting blogging again! Haven´t done it for ages! Don´t really know if I´m having the time for it, but whatever - lets try it at least!

It´s funny to go threw this old blog and read what I have been writing about for ages ago!

Anyway.... I just got one of my illustrations posted on one of Norways biggest bloggers, which I am quit happy about!

Part from that, I am now an aupair in Germany. Been living here the last year, looking after a real sweetheart named Fabio which is aged 1,5 soon! The time has gone so fast by!!

I am learning german in a university with my bestfriend here in Germany, she is from New Zealand! Hopefully in end of january I can speak GREAT german, hoho, thats my intention!

I´m sorry if my english is really sucky at time, I am so confused about speaking 3 languages, and sometimes the words just gets real mixed up!! Oh, hard life..

My hostfamily was so nice that they let me get a puppy! I missed my pussycatty Simba so much, that I needed someone, haha.. So know I am having my sweetest dearest Romeo, which is around 4 months old now!

He is a big biter! Takes my trash out, pulls my scarfs down from the wall and makes my bedroom a big mess - but I love him anyway, because he is the sweetest doggie you could imagen! :-)

So, lets see how long it will take me before I keep you updated on my new life in Germany! Tonight I´m going to Keller Klub with Dino & Rachie! Some dj´s from London are supposed to be coming? Sounds great! :D

BTW! Check out my myspace profile!

My tattoo plans

2009-07-22T05:14:00.005+02:00

After I took my first tattoo - "Viva la Vida", I'm like in love with tattoos! I want one hear and there.. but I now where the line goes, and for me (at this time) it's only going as long as the "illustration" picure I made her downunder;

You may probelly think it looks a littlebit odd, but all these signs/drawings have a meaning for me. Maybe not the Roman numbers are sooo special, but I have allways loved Roman numbers + it's my date of birth.. At least, if I got it right this time ;)

It's just a "picture" of what I "have-in-mind"..

What do you think?

My favorite mascara

2009-06-07T14:12:00.003+02:00

L'oreal, Telescopic Mascara - Carbon Black!

My favorite mascara

Yes, you heard me! This is one of my best mascaras.

It lenghtens my lashes and make them ultra long! I never get black underneeth my eyes, even if it's raining, hot, running or swimming in the sea! I wonder how this mascara would be if it was waterproof!

The price is a little bit expensive - spescially in my country, but + for the simple design.

Absolute the best mascara I have tried.

What is your favorite mascara?

Window design - exam

2009-06-05T22:07:00.004+02:00

Time to update...

2009-06-02T19:19:00.004+02:00

I'm supposed to draw lots of drawings of my plans for a window design for a music shop, which is selling "Back to the 80's cd's".

Here are some some of my inspiration pictures I have made;

Do you have any exams?

My friend Veronica and I, trying on stuff from the shoppingcenter!

I have a big problem when it comes to finding sunglasses. I'm very picky on details, they are eighter to big/small, round/squared, colourful and etc.. I wish I had a face that could wear all the different shapes!

I have been dreaming about this dress for a while..

2009-03-25T21:43:00.005+01:00

This BEAUTIFUL dress, is so pretty! The dress is from Meghan Fabulous, and is called The Ryan Dress. The colours, the pattern, the design.... perfect! As you probelly have noticed by now, I absolutly love butterflies. (When I paint something, I almost everytime paint butterflies)

The price is unfortantly to high for me, but if you somehow have 1350 dollars to much in your bank account- you could allways make one of my dreams come true for my birthday on friday ;-)

You can buy the dress here

3 easy hair styles for spring/summer-09

2009-03-24T08:50:00.000+01:00

I am sure a lot of you are wondering what hairstyles are popular this spring/summer? I am too! So I have been searching around for some inspiration pictures, just to get an ide of what's coming up!

My hair is damadged from trying to become a blond, so now I really should need a new haircut! Today I am thinking of going to the hairdresses to colour my grownout hair.. It's not looking really nice at the moment!

So, here is your hair inspiration! I hope one or two of the hairstyles will give you an inspiration for your own hair!

Floral hair decoration

Straight, curled, short or long - floral decoration on your hair is beautiful. It will bring you hair, face and clothes to life!

Tip:
You can buy cheap hairclips with exotic flowers and colours at for example, H&M.

Super straight hair

You will need a hair straightner and a good heat protector for your hair! There are a lot of great products to choose between, ask your hairdresser or someone at the Drugstore for recommandation!

Tip:
For leaving all you flyaways away + adding shine, I would say you should deffently try Biosilk!
Rub your hands together with a very small amount, and go trew your hair with it. This will keep flyaways away and make your hair smooth and silky straight!

Do not put serum in your roots, this will make it look greasy and that's not really the style you are going for.. I'm sorry to say, but to much of the good stuff will do the same. (But again, you will have your bottle for ages!!)

The center hair parts with body and bounce

Perfect for the natural look, bohem, school, beach +

This is the new straighten hair look, it's really simple to do! Section your hair at the middle and hair strengthen it. After straightening it, focus on creating some movement from the mid-lengst to the end with the straightner.

Tip:
To see how you can do it yourself, watch the video here

The half-up & Half-down

The perfect mix between wearing your hair back from your face but still wearing it “out.”

This hairstyle is popular because it shows off your neck - without necessarily showing off your ears.

Tip:
This hairstyle is perfect for the hippie dresses!

Which hairstyle is your favorite? What styles are you going for this season?
I would love to see a picture of your hairstyles, for more inspiration!

Girls night out

2009-03-22T21:28:00.004+01:00

I had a great night out with some of my friends! Lots of laughing and fun <3

A drink tip;
Try Absolute Vodka Vanilla + Tab X-tra/ or Coca-Cola.

This drink is so good! If you like cola vanilla, you will deffently like this as a party drink ;-)

What have you been up to this weekend?

Get an organized wardrobe!

2009-03-18T16:32:00.004+01:00

Orginization is the best way to get a tidy wardrobe. There are a lot of great ideas for making a organized wardrobe, Ikea has one of them!

This is a great organized wardrobe from Ikea. You can buy the wardrobe in pieces, so you get the perfect storage for your clothes, shoes and accessories.

There are a lot of different ways you can get your wardrobe organised. You don't have to buy a new wardrobe(!). I hope some of this tips will help you on the way!

Drawers
A great ide for putting your accessories;
belts, scarfs, braclets, hairbands or maybe socks and singlets!

Hangers
You can easly find a simple wardrobe, that's only a hanger. The only one I can think of that's international, is from Ikea. With this kind of hanger you can hang all your pretty dresses, skirts, jackets and shirts on. It is also great for hanging your jeans and belts on!

Boxes
A great idea to put all your small thing in! You can do like me - put your underwear and all small accessories in them.
Instead of having all your shoes haning around in the house, you can save the shoebox when you buy yourself a new pair of shoes.. Rapp nice giftpaper around the shoebox, and take a picture of the shoes and glue it the front. This way you will have all your shoes organised!

Inspiration picked up from Google..

Tips;
Make your own personal hanger! Buy wood-hangers and paint them in which colour you like. Glue on stickers, glitter or diamonds for a more elegant look. Tie a silk ribbon around the hanger and volà - you have your own homemade hanger!

Later, I will tell you how you can get your earrings organised! It's creative, can be used as a picture on the wall (I won't tell you more yet!).

Thanks for stopping by. Hope you have a nice day!

Beautiful tunica/top from H&M - Wear it for day/night + parties

2009-03-18T11:27:00.000+01:00

I have fell in love with this beautiful tunica/top from H&M. It has such nice colours! I think you could wear it to almost everything! It's perfect for spring/summer, because you can dress it up to so many different styles. With a warm cardigans for chilly weather, or a shorts for summer and parties!

What would you wear with this tunica?

Hair permanent - curls

2009-03-16T13:30:00.002+01:00

Sometimes, curly hair can be really beautiful. For an expample, this girl on the picture!

I have friend that has naturally curly hair, but she allways straightens it - I'm trying to make her show off her nice curls!

I have hear that taking a curl-permanent (or whatever kind of permanent), damadges your hair alot. I would like to have big curls, so my hair gets more volum! But if it damadges alot, I surly should keep myself away from trying! (My hair has never been so bad, as it's now!)

Have you ever tried a permanent? Did it damadge your hair alot? How long did it last?
