Hello!

We are back from Trondheim. Where the amateur Norwegian boxing championship tournament was. We had a lot of fun! We got there on early Friday morning. Everyone was booked in the same hotel, and all the weigh-in’s was held there. So after we checked in, and a couple hours of well needed sleep. W had to go weigh in, and he was 500 grams over his weight class. So he was moved up to light heavy weight. He felt fine in either, so it was no worries. After the boxing panel had their deliberations, and then they announced who was fighting that same day. W had his first fight on Friday. In total there were 11 fights that day. On Saturday there were a lot more fights and W had his second fight. Everyone thought W would win that fight, and then go into finals. There would have been more fights for light heavy weight, but TWO GUYS in light heavy weight were disqualified from the tournament for NOT SHAVING!!! FOR NOT SHAVING! Anyways, W lost in the semi-final just by ONE point. To be honest, it was not fair from the judges. They gave the other guy points for hitting when W was guarding!! You’re not supposed to get points when the opponent is guarding. It’s ridiculous. Not to be a sore loser, but perhaps the judges were a bit unfair since the opponent was from home team? But I’m proud no matter what, and he did get a medal for bronze. On Sunday it was the finals. I had lots of fun watching every fight! A lot of busted noses! haha.

I am very proud of W. It takes a lot of courage, determination, mental & physical strength to be a fighter! Maybe I’ll start boxing.

Here are some pictures from the weekend. I will post the boxing pictures and videos another day!

Anyways, ever since we came back very late on Sunday night, we have been resting! I can’t believe it’s Tuesday already. I don’t even remember what I did yesterday!

I’m relaxing now while W is at his boxing club gym and training! I should start preparing dinner soon! Making cream pasta. Mhhmm! We love pasta!!! And then walk the dog as I promised I would.

Hello

Sorry again for the lack of posts. To make it up I am doing a What’s in my travel make up bag post, upon several requests. I don’t know what’s the rave or curiosity of what goes in ones make up bag/travel bag.

I don’t think much explanation is needed. But I will mention that I do like to carry sample size skin care products with me when I go on short trips. Lugging around full sized skin care products and so many of them is so heavy! And I’m scared of spillage. So I try to get my hands on sample size products when I buy skin care. I always use oils for my hair, but everyone knows oil will spill no matter what packaging it is in! So having sample sized oil is great.

I also usually just have two separate bags, one to keep pretty much everything, and the other for skin care. And of course a brush bag.

When I was younger I would hoard a lot of make up and things when traveling, but I actually don’t wear so much make up. I just bring one of foundation/powder etc. of what I’m favoring at the time.

On a daily basis, I don’t carry much make up with me. I don’t like having so much things in my purse. And I don’t need touch ups except for lips. I do always have face mist, lip balm/moisturizers, hand moisturizer with me though. And whatever lipstick/gloss I am rocking that day. Sometimes I bring a compact powder for a mirror. But I always break compact powders. I somehow broke the Coogi one in the picture just the other day. I can always just use my phone as a mirror!

Alright that’s it for now! I am going to do a personal/hair post soon. As I’m in transition of going blonde. Had two hair appointments done, and a third one tomorrow. Perhaps I’ll post from my phone while at the salon again tomorrow!

It’s 5 AM, and I cannot sleep. For the past few days, I’ve been incredibly sleepy at night but cannot actually go to sleep! I thought 2 cups of chamomile tea would help me tonight, but I guess my body has become immune to it. I have stopped all caffeine except one cup of hot coffee when I wake up. Must I now cut the only thing that helps me awake at morning. I just want to sleep! Unfortunately I cannot take sleeping pills either. Sleeping pills has weird effects on me. Plus sleeping pills make you feel like complete sh!t the next day! The only time I actually feel like I can sleep is when it’s morning and the sound of the tv puts me to sleep. Turn off the tv and I awake! Anyone have any remedies?

A post without a picture is incredibly boring. So here is a few pictures from beginning of this month when I was in Kiel for shopping. By the way, Germany is so much cheaper than Norway! And better shopping I say. Actually anywhere else is cheaper and better than Norway.

These resting seats? are everywhere in Kiel. Nice for me. I actually was wearing 5 inch heels all day, and my feet were killing me so much. Had to buy random flip flops at a store so I could actually walk around and do some shopping.

These chocolates are surprisingly good. My favorite is the white chocolate with hazelnut. Going to stock our pantry with these!

Om nom nom

By the way, there is no Starbucks in Norway! I stopped liking Starbucks after university, so no worries for me. But there are so many food franchises that are not available in Norway. It makes me sad! You know what I would like to see here? KFC, Burger King EVERYWHERE not just Oslo, some American food joints, basically just some American fatty fatty franchises please! I’d also like to see cat cafes in Norway. I’d like to go play with kittens and cats once a week or so, whenever I am missing Nomi!

Alright. I’m going to throw some mini baguettes in the oven and eat a very early breakfast. Or is it very late snack since I still need to sleep?
