amazing♥

Have any of you seen the movie 'Tangled' form Disney? There's a scene in that movie where thousands of lanterns are released into the sky at night. It is absolutely breathtaking, and I found out, they actually do this in real life! In Thailand it's a tradition to do this once a year. I have to go see this sometime.. Adding it to my list of things to experience. 
Just look at this video. Gives me the goosebumps. There are many more on Youtube.
What are some things you'd like to experience in your life?

Love and lanterns,

here comes the sun♡

Today's weather is amazing. Blue sky, bright sunshine, no wind and heat!! I'm so psyched that it's finally summer! 'm going to lie out here in my garden all day and try to forget about some of the weird things and semi stupid mistakes I made last night while out with my friends.. I can be such a phone number-slut when I'm drunk, hehe..
When you're drunk, how do you change? Like, what kind of people du you end up talking to, how do you end up acting, where do you end up going etc.. I think it's weird how a thing like alcohol can change a person for a shorter period of time..

Apart from the alcohol and some tiny bites of a (delicious) cake from the party before going out last night, my diet is going great! But I have to stop calling it a 'diet'. It's just a new lifestyle. Anywho, it's going great! I run almost every day and can feel how I'm getting better and more persiverant. Awesome!
And I eat more vegetables and fruit. I'm so proud of myself, haha.. And the best thing? It's changed my mood - so I'm starting to feel happier♥

Have a great day in the sun!
Love and sunscreen,

beauty♥

It's such a beautiful day. I started it off by laying out in the sun for a while. Fell asleep because I haven't been able to fall asleep at night lately.. But mommy came and woke me up so it's all good!
Maybe I should take a shower and then head out for a long walk. Hopefully I can get to bring my sister's camera along. It takes the most gorgeous pictures! -Well, depending on what you're shooting, of course..

I hope you all had a beautiful morning! I'll be posting some photos on here sooner, hopefully!
Just wanted to say good morning :)

it starts today

Two months. One diet. One total makeover. One goal.
 -That sounded like some lame trailer for a cheesy American movie. Oh well, the plan is; I'll start my diet and workout plan today so I'll be happy with myself in time for the U.S-trip which is in August. Wish me luck!
I'm feeling motivated, confident and determined - all good signs! I'm even on my way for a run now!
I'll run every single day, do strengthening exercises, go for a long walk some days, and make sure I exercise as much as I can in every other way (dancing, riding my bike etc.)
Now, for the other part of my plan; eating habits. Oh, those have always been the nr. 1 reason I am not happy with myself. Honestly, it's getitng old.. But it shouldn't be that hard.. Eat when you're hungry, stop once you're full. Eat what's good for your body. There. It's as simple as that.

But guys, I still need help when it comes to staying motivated - any advice? What do you do when it becomes hard for you to keep focus? How do you keep on track when it gets tough? Please, i need help. I cannot blow it this time♥


Love and running shoes,
