Vacation Skiathos, Greece ’13.

I went to Skiathos, Greece with my family 10. - 17. August and it was simply paradise!
I´ve been to Greece twice before - Zakynthos, but that was NOTHING compared to this island.

It´s just like you imagine it to be like, white beaches, white houses with blue windows etc. Crystal clear turquoise water. I wanna go back. Now.

It was total relaxation. We just stayed by the pool or the beach and went to town a few nights for dinner and some shopping. It was so nice there, not that typical "tacky" place or partyshit or whatever.

We went on a boat trip to Skopelos, also a beautiful island. It was the "Mamma Mia" tour, as parts of the movie has been filmed at mainly Skopelos, but some scenes are also from Skiathos.
Not that it matter to me  really, I haven´t even seen the whole movie ;)

We had three stops on the tour, and we stopped at this church from the movie, and some beautiful beaches! I really loved it! It was sooo relaxing sitting on top deck and just admiring the view and feel the sun on my body :)

I´m just gonna let you guys fall in love with this island by showing you some pictures.
It´s not really a lot to tell you as we did nothing but lie on the beach all day and get tanned ;)

AND I drank a lot of coffee. OMG Greek Freddo Cappuccino or Greek Frappe are the best coffee ever. OOOOOOHHHHH I LOVE IT! As you can see, or if you follow me on Instagram (missdelirium) you´ve probably seen it already, there were a few coffees involved during my stay ;)

ENJOY MY PICTURES :)

Northern Blonde

I find it very appropriate to do a "my hair story" or something like that by now as I´ve gone through some fun changes the past year.
This post however is only to show you how my hair is right now. I tried to sit down and make a collage of my different hair colors the past year, but it´s so hard picking out old pictures of myself that I like - I just need some more time working on that, hehe ;)

A brief history: about a year ago I started to highlight my hair after dying it black and dark brown for a couple of years (I´m naturally as blonde as in the picture below). I just needed some change, but god do I like that dark hair!

It got lighter and lighter and the color I got right before I left for my Florida Roadtrip was simply amazing! I was sooo pleased with it! However, as my hair was very damaged from bleaching and using minicolor AND staying in the sun all day everyday for almost two weeks, swimming in the ocean, swimming in the pool. Being caught in tropical rainstorms all the time and showering in water with chlorine in it.. Well let´s just say it doesn´t do wonders to your hair or your hair color ;-)

By the time I got home the color was all washed out and I was pretty blonde! But as I said, it was a washed out color.. My roots wasn´t showing as bad as with my dark hair (imagine almost black hair with almost white regrowth, makes me look bald!) and I kinda liked the idea of turning blonde...

HOWEVER, I did something stupid being desperate and sick of the washed out color - I went to work and just smashed some color in it trying to get it better, and yeah, it got kinda better, I just hated it..
So then I decided to go blonde! And here I am!

The whole viking scene is because I went to a Medieval Party that my friends and I had been planning for a whole year.

I made the flower headpiece myself, and I sew the dress myself (with a lot of help from my mum) and before I left for the party I went down to the beach to take some pictures, as this ship had been laying here for a week. How appropriate! :-)

Homemade Sweet Iced Tea :)

It´s been so hot lately I´ve had no other options than to make several full pitchers with iced sweet tea, it´s stored in my fridge and ready to serve whenever I need to cool my brain down! 

Lately I´ve also suffered from extreme headache and even though I love the heat, it does not make my headache any better! So that´s another good reason to make this deliciousness for cooling down right there! 

The whole look would be complete with a mason jar, but I´m good with my Starbucks cup ^^

Easiest recipe:

- Boil 6 cups of water, add 1 cup (or to taste) of sugar.

(1 cup is more than enough for the peach mango, but 1,5 is probably better for the citrus)

- When water is boiling, remove from the heat and add 6 (normal sized) bags of tea. Put lid on.

I used Lipton Peach & Mango tea for my first pitcher, and Lipton Citrus for the second :)
(I enjoyed Peach Mango the most)

- I guess you can leave it in as long as you like depending on preferred flavor, but I had mine in for like 20-30 minutes and it did not go bitter or weak or anything.

- Press tea bags before removing them.

- Add a pinch of baking soda, makes the tea clear and gives a nice color, also prevents from getting bitter.

- Add 6 cups of cold water.

(Also here you can taste, citrus tea was perfect, but I could´ve added a little extra cold water in the peach mango)

- Put in freezer/fridge until ice cooooold :)

Add ice cubes and pour that deliciousness into your glass! I like to squeeze a couple of lemon slices and add them into my glass too:)

*HAUL* Benefit, Urban Decay, Sleep-In Rollers & Real Techniques

This is another haul that have been lost in the draft drawer for a while.. I bought it all online and it took quite some time before every product arrived (I ordered them individually). I had to wait for such a long time to do this post until I had received all of the items, I eventually kinda forgot about it! HAHA.

Anyway, I´ve been using the Real Techniques brushes a lot! Everyday almost. And I love the Benefit Fake Up and Urban Decay palette:)

I´ve only tried the Sleep-In Rollers once, but they do work! It´s not supercomfy, but better than regular rollers..;)


I have not been using the Benefit World Famous Neutrals palette very much, to be totally honest I´ve had so much other stuff lately that I´d rather use so I haven´t given it my time yet.. But the colors are very cute and perfect for everyday use :)

Florida Roadtrip, Kennedy Space Coast - Cocoa Beach

These pictures do really not do our last days justice! We just didn´t have time to photograph everything and we were mostly at the beach since it was our last day :)

We got her pretty late and had driven non-stop from Miami all night. There was such a heavy thunderstorm around us. It was SO amazing to watch. The lightningh lit up the whole sky and horizon and for one second I thought the world was coming to an end! That, or WW3, not kidding. Not used to such thinderstorms in Scandinavia, so glad I got to see it like that. We were driving in total darkness and almost alone on the road we had the whole horizon in front of us, first class view in other words:)

FINALLY our first american waffle, had to make it ourselves, but that´s ok!

I´m glad we shared ;-)

Whats more appropriate :)

Beautiful beach! Highlight of the day was definitely when we heard that there was a Black Tip Shark lurking around:-) 

Cocoa Beach!
The sand was a bit rough and the ocean actually a little chilly for our taste! We´ve become such BEACH SNOBS!

I can´t believe this is going to be my last American Roadtrip picture, but again what´s more american that alcohol in a brown paperbag? Ofc this had to be documented :D

FYI the alcohol had to be left unopened at the hotel as we didn´t get time to enjoy it!

Don´t know how to summarize this trip other than awesome! I´m almost gonna start cry because I wanna go back. I don´t know if that´s sad or just tragic. I wanna go back because there was so much that we missed! Anyway, did have a great time and we got to experience a whole lot on such short time :)
