What's up?

Hi there!
Sorry for being so quiet. Time goes fast... It is early in the morning, the little black cat woke me up,
 and I will soon go to work. This is just a small update of what is happening inmy life for the moment. Saturday me, Saralove and our sweet friend Ninni went to Jönköping to go to a concert where Unleashed played and it was great! We had such hangover the day after although we didn't drink at all, haha. Getting ooold! Sara drove us all the way to Jkpg, and home! She was so tired and I completely understand that - thank you, darling! <3

I just need to tell you that week ago Sara bought me a NES at a secondhand store! And that included Super Mario Bros and two hand controls. She cleaned everything and everything is working soo fine! HAPPY! She has a NES of her own and my family too, but this is my OWN. ;) 

I have been buying almost every christmas gifts niw I think, feels great! Yesterday we bought all food for Christmas. Have to be prepared, you know. :) Maybe getting a christmas tree today or tomorrow from our own forest?

On Friday it is the Winter solstice (right word?) and of course we are going to celebrate that - in a pagan way.

I have no time to write more this time, have to get a move on!

Bye, bye!

Our home

I haven't show you much pictures of our home, have I? Anyway, here are some random pics of some of the rooms in our home. Picture above is, of course, the bedroom. We have a balcony outside where we put up the yearly blue lights on the other day. It will be Christmas soon and this weekend we have fixed a bit in the rooms like changing curtains and stuff to give the home a more Christmas-feeling. Not in a christian way (it is not their feast from the beginning anyway), we celebrate Christmas thinking more in a pagan way.

Kitchen

 A part of the livingroom. Movies, mostly horror-movies

 Gremlins and stuff. ^^

 Our sweet baby Chucky and between some serial killers Sara has been collecting.

 Important: the cat's place in the kitchen where they eat. <3

 A wall with fangs. And guess who's in the photo?

Sara's Elisabeth Bathory-doll

Me and Alice Cooper, not in the same time though.

 One of our windows. Zeus loves the stars. <3

LUSH - Caca Noir - update

I am sitting here with Caca Noir from LUSH in my hair. As I wrote in a previous post I was going to test their hair color. As you know their hair colors are made of Henna, absolutely cruelty-free and totally vegan. You can buy it for about 145 SEK. 

Anyway, I colored my hair with three blocks of the cake a few days ago and nothing happened. I waited 2-3 days because I have read it can take a few days for the color to appear. After 24 hours I saw my hair had gone a little bit more darker and in bright light the whole hair shifted in deeply tones of red as I also had read before because Henna is naturally red and to get the dark color LUSH has been blending Indigo (witch is blue) in it and that can lead to blue tones in your hair among the black/dark tones. I really thought it was exciting to crack the blocks (you get totally 6 blocks in one cake), blend them with hot water and put it in my hair although it was messy. It doesn't feel sticky at all or has that "chemical" feeling ordinary hair colors have. I had it in my hair for 5 hour before I rinsed it out with water. As I wrote before I didn't see any difference but my hair felt healthy and shiny. I read that you sometimes have to color your hair 2-3 times go get a darker result so now I am sitting here a second time and this time I blend the color with hot coffee instead of water and I had more coffee in it than I had water the last time because I wanted it to be more loose in the consistence, last time it became so goddamn messy with crumbs of Henna all over the bathroom floor. This time it was way more easier to put it in my hair, and I only used ONE block and it was enough for my hair. I was thinking of just coloring and focus on my roots this time but since I did the mix more loose it reached out to all my hair - great! So if it works better this time I have two more blocks to use. Saving money. ;) And if it doesn't work I will probably test some ordinary "black" Henna from other places I have found. Only cruelty-free of course.

ParaNorman



We watched ParaNorman yesterday and I really recommend it! It is a great, well-done movie with funny creatures (zombies and stuff) in it and good morals. ;D I don't want to spoil everything for you who haven't seen it yet, but I can say (if you didn't know it already) that the film is made of the same team that created "Coraline" a few years ago.
