The Girl Behind The Keyboard

Who am I to my readers? That was a question that popped into my head the other day, and I realized that you do not really know too much about me. Therefore I am making this post to share a little bit more of who I am... on an unserious level at least :)

1.) I love lemon, lime, oranges and any citrus-y foods, drinks or heh..beauty products. Although on the other hand I can't stand coriander, sour cream, balsamic/vinegar dressings and oils...

2.) I am planning to study Fashion Marketing/Promotion in the UK, as well as attending a make-up artist course so that I can one day work within the two industries that I love more than anything!

3.) I am obsessed with TV-shows...it really is a bad habit

4.) For years I have dreamt about attending New York or London Fashion Week, not as an audience but as someone who is part of what goes on backstage. It has now become my #1 dream to achieve.

5.) I love singing and dancing, especially when I vacuum and clean up around the house! However I wanted to pursue sining as a career when I was a little younger.

6.) I first got into makeup and beauty about 3 years ago when I came across a make-up tutorial by MakeupByTiffanyD on youtube!

7.) I have a silent desire to try modeling, but never had the guts to actually try it...Maybe that should be one of my to-do things!

8.) I speak three languages: Norwegian, English and Spanish, but I understand Danish and Sweedish as well although few people would count them considering I know Norwegian which is fairly similar.

9.) I am 1 year younger than the rest of my grade, as I kind of got to skip a year due to my 1 year in Colombia.

10.) I have 3 older sisters, whom I love very much! Now that I am older I feel like I have some very good friends in them which I am so grateful for :)

11.) I am a mahusive (a mixture of massive and huge) fan of Harry Potter. I know pretty much every line in the movies and the books are pretty much stamped onto my brain after I read them the 4th (..or was it 5th?) time! So yes, I love J.K.Rowling for creating such an incredible world, and I love Warner Bros. and Universal for opening their Harry Potter park and studio so that I, among all the other fans out there can feel like we are living in the magical world. See a post here from when I visited the WB studio tour, unfortunately I have lost the post from Universal, but both are incredible to visit for us HP geeks ;)

12.) I love roller coasters! Haha, quite random but I do :)

13.) I have a gap in my teeth that has always been there and always will be unless it decides to go away itself. Anyhow I do not intend to do anything in order to remove it. I like being a ginger with freckles and a gap between her teeth.

If you liked this post I might do more of the same type in the future however, I would love it if you would, for now, leave me a comment telling me a few facts about yourself, so that I can get to know you better too! 

Lots of love, always

25'000

Wow I have reached over 25 000 page-views on this blog! I know for some that may be little, but for me, that is pretty cool! I have now blogged on this "platform" for 1 year and a few months and I am really enjoying it. Not very long ago I was asked to start collaborating with some fashion and beauty brands and although it is still only in the initial stages of the process I am so excited to get an opportunity like this. I started blogging simply because I wanted to keep family and friends updated on my life in Colombia, then I "expanded" into a fashion and beauty blog too and now that I am back in Norway, fashion and beauty is what "someoneinthecorner" is all about! 

I truly enjoy blogging and lately there has been a lot more response to my posts which I find very exciting too! I can tell that I will keep this blog up and running for quite some time and I can't wait to see what it may bring. I hope you are all going to join me on this journey and hopefully the blogging community will give me the opportunity to create some nice friendships!

Thank you for staying with me so far, 25 000 is more than I expected to reach so now I am curious of how far this blog may take me and I hope you will keep reading and being incredible :)

Twelve Days of Christmas post coming up later, all about what to wear for the many holiday parties!

Winter Time

As winter is approaching quickly and Christmas with it, I want of share some of my favourite things about this season. Autumn and winter is a very "love it or hate it" season, I for one, don't particularly love the cold and rainy (or god forbid slouchy and snowy)  weather because it means I end up being cold and wet whenever I decide to step outside my house. I do however like the fact that this is the time of year when you can justify drinking one too many cups of tea, and snuggle up in blankets with candles burning everywhere. There is something relaxing, safe and comforting about winter. When the temperature drops to below zero and the walls of your house are creaking, you can bury yourself deep down among pillows and blankets with a good book. Maybe you've heard about these things before, but really, they are pretty darn great.

The reason to why I am writing a post about blankets, candles, books and winter is because well, today is cold and rainy and ..pretty "winter-y", and if it's like that where you are too, then maybe you should try this out, because it helps :)

I feel like Im back on the blogger roll now with frequent posting and a variety in my posts, but if you feel like there's something you would like to see that you feel is missing, then please let me know in the comments :)

Do you have things you like to do on cold and grey winter days?

Sneak a peek of my room

My room is under a constant change at the moment so for those of you who have asked about it - a full "tour" of my room will be up once I feel like it is more or less ok-looking. But as I have no idea of how long that may take, I thought I would give you a sneak-peek in the meantime. The chosen area to be revealed is my makeup table / vanity. I am happy with the way it is right now, but judging by experience I will probably get bored of it soon enough and change it..but oh well I will figure that out when the time comes :) 

As for what I store on and in this table/desk/vanity (what would you say this piece of furniture is??) it is mainly my makeup, brushes and well as you can see, candles and perfumes. The two drawers are filled with the products I don't use quite as frequently (I'm looking at you, eyeshadows..), plus a few that simply did not have any space elsewhere. If you want me to do a "makeup collection" post I can do so, but I won't do it now, as that would take a while and I don't want to bore you to sleep unless you ask for it. If you are curious about where I got the different things thenwell, here it comes:

Table, the organizer for lipsticks ++ and the mirror // Cachivaches (a store in Colombia) 

Silver tray underneath perfumes ++ and the lamp // IKEA

Ok so that wasn't really everything, but all the other things such as the candles, the "religious"barbie-candleholder, the black lady "statue" and the cupcake thingie were all given to me as presents so I don't know where they are from :) 

Now let's just wait in excitement for the rest of my room to be finished...

I really do appreciate all of you who keep coming back to read my blog, it makes my day to see that someone out there enjoys to read what I write. Remember that if you ever have a request for me, just leave it as a comment or tweet me - you'll find my twitter link below.

I wish you all a good week!
