Christmas presents ♡ Along with a gift card and money for Hygge 

 

Happy Christmas! As you might have noticed, there hasn't been much Christmas on the blog, and that is simply because I haven't been in the mood this year - at least till Christmas Eve. Spent Christmas Eve with Lasse and his family at his parents' house. Best Christmas I have had in years! Lasse's mum knew I hadn't been in the mood and that I was having a tough time lately, so she overdid it a little with the decorations for me - which I love! They were all just really nice, and we all had a great time. It was me, Lasse, his parents, his brothers, and their partners, a toddler, two dogs, and my cat! Pure Hygge! ♡ They all go back today for a Christmas luncheon, but I am too exhausted, so staying home, cleaning, and indulging in a bit of self-care ♡

 

The police were here today. Apparently, a concerned neighbour called the police because they saw blood all over our living room floor. I actually saw two women out front half an hour earlier getting really close to the windows, but they saw me and left. Then the doorbell rang, and as I don't know anyone here who would just drop by, I didn't open. Heard the person ring other doorbells (intercom is right next to our window so we can hear it every time someone rings it elsewhere as well). I got curious so I walked out of the bedroom to see who it was, then I saw a police man standing by our window signing that I should open the door. Now, this has happened in places I've lived before - if the police can't get in they ring all the doorbells so they can enter the building. Didn't think they were here for me, but curious as I am, I opened the door and asked them what had happened - they were here for me! They explained the situation and I was like "oh! Yeah, that's just my cat, he has a tumour that sometimes bleeds a lot. I can go get him if you want?" and they said it wasn't necessary. I did thank them, though, for checking in and also said that it was nice of the neighbour to show concern. It could as easily have been something terrible. But it was not. Everyone is fine, and the cat is fine as well. I did mention this in a previous blog post, and there is just nothing we can do about it, other than clean up after it once it stops bleeding - which we do! We just allow it to stop before we start cleaning up after it. 

I laughed at the whole situation, and when the police left, I went into the bedroom where the cat was sleeping and kissed him all over. So much drama for tiny him ♡ Bless

Woke up today to the most perfect weather for studying, which I will be doing all day and most of the night to catch up with school - I'm behind! Everything is so stressful lately, and I get affected by things so easily. I had to take a break from social media because people just got to me. the racism, the bullying, and just all the hate and rudeness. Usually, I am very good at just not letting it get to me, but for some reason now it is. I think that maybe because my living situation is great and my relationship is going well, my body and mind suddenly have time to react to everything else. It will be fine, and I will catch up on homework as well. So happy that boyfriend is supportive and that his family is there for me as well

Boyfriend is at a birthday today (I was invited as well, just wasn't up for it), which leaves me at home, and he was so nice as to buy me sushi for dinner! Turns out I am allergic to crab meat, so that is new! Really enjoyed dinner though. 

He spoils me ♡ 

 

Yesterday, Lasse was at the hospital getting his shunt adjusted, as he has been feeling unwell lately and it could mean the shunt wasn't working properly - turns out it was draining too fast. He has an arachnoid cyst in his brain that needs to be drained, so he has a shunt that goes from his brain to his stomach (which I think is really cool!) Hopefully, now he will get better; if not, it could end in surgery. Really hoping he gets better soon ♡

Today we had plumbing and ventilation guys coming to do an annual check at the new apartment, and my anxiety about this has just been built up so much over the past couple of days. I do not like strangers in my home, and the tiny room they had to access is in the bedroom, so my OCD went crazy about the possibility of them dragging in something from outside. Lasse was at work, so I had to let them in myself. They said they'd be here between 7 am and 3 pm, and Lasse was so nice as to wake up really early to both wake me up and be there over the phone for emotional support. Lasse's mum lives in the building as well, and they were at her place first, so she told them that I was struggling with it - which was so nice of her, and I didn't ask her to, so imagine my surprise when I opened the door, and they stood there smiling and said they talked to my mum ♡ Bless them! They were so kind and understanding, talked me through everything they were doing, and asked if I was okay. Best possible outcome. After checking everything and pushing the bed back to its place, I took a nice, long nap, as I barely slept before they got here. When I woke up I did some cleaning, laundry, homework, and work. Exhausting day, but altogether good ♡

 

This box was a bit of everything! I am not usually a fan of Rituals products, and I have tried a lot of them. There was a hand lotion of theirs I was very fond of that I got years back, but they don't make that anymore. At first, when I saw the Rituals product in this box, I got a bit annoyed, then I tried it, and it doesn't have a scent that is too strong. I like scrubs, and it did a good job, but the colour and glitter make it seem really cheap. And the glitter sticks! 

I did not like the lip gloss, and it was very thick, sticky and honestly just looked like smeared chocolate. The perfume was nice, I love the dry shampoo, and I haven't tried the hair mask - I don't go to the beach, so I might just give it away. The nails are good, although I do prefer matte when it comes to fake nails, so they look less plasticky. Love the colour of the nails though!

I needed to get out today to get some fresh air, and with everything that has been going on, Lasse and I also missed each other and needed to spend some time together. We drove to his dad's house first to visit the cat and apparently challenge myself a bit - because wow, there are a lot of bugs out at that house in the summer. Was good for me, though, and makes it easier the next time I visit them at the house. After the visit, we drove to the beach, and it had changed a lot since I was last there - and they were setting up for the carnival, so it was crowded. We played in the sand, had some boyfriend-girlfriend time, looked at jellyfish, and then went for food in Juelsminde before going home. I really enjoyed today ♡

 

This is not my week at all - but I am staying positive! 

I slipped and fell in the bathroom this morning after my shower, and the fall was grim. I put my foot up on the toilet to dry off my leg and foot, and then my foot slides off the toilet, and my other leg just slipped right under me. I fell towards the sink but managed to move my head in time, so I didn't hit it on the edge. I fell to the floor, my knees and elbows taking my full body weight. My right shoulder dislocated and pushed in on my collarbone. My ankle twisted and I basically landed on the most sturdy plastic table tray ever - which, btw, I should almost do a review on because that is mad impressively made! So the rest of my day has been spent in bed rest. I am in a lot of pain, and to add to it, I also have a fever. It scared me so much, and I do fall often. Not long ago, I slipped on the living room floor and fell on my butt, then hid my head back on the floor. I am insanely clumsy! 

While on bed rest, I ordered in some groceries and decided to spoil myself with a late brunch. I have stuff I need to get done tomorrow, so I am allowing myself the rest today, and that is it. Will take it slow tomorrow, but I can't stay in bed this many hours. Lasse is still at his dad's house with Haymitch and will come home within the next few days. I miss both of them so much, and I talk to Lasse on the phone several times a day - driving him crazy, I'm sure! Anyways, I will recover soon and obviously ignore all pain to get up and going sooner than my body allows me to.

Been testing out Scenty for a few months now, and I am still madly in love with the concept. Instead of buying one perfume brand, I get several - and I get to try new ones. I get so excited checking my mailbox each month to see if it has arrived yet - which is also a plus, it comes straight to your mailbox, and you don't have to pick it up. You also get caramels with your perfumes, which I think is a nice little treat. They also recently, per many requests, have started adding men's perfumes to their list of options, so going to try that next month. You can change the perfume of your choosing or the subscription anytime you want. They also have hand sanitizers, gift boxes, stands, and full-sized perfumes. Their subscriptions are:
