If you would like to see more pictures from my everyday life and get quite frequent updates then go ahead and follow me on my Instagram and Twitter :) And also - I just started using Keek! For those of you who don't know, it is sort of like twitter only in video form. You can upload quick videos that last up to 34 seconds and share them, like, comment, and  respond (with your own keek video)  to them! If you have a keek of your own or want to have a closer look at it and maybe follow me then go to keek's website or go to my profile emilygarns

Now I have to finish packing, then I am off to London, Manchester and Leeds for a week! I will try to put up a few posts while I am away, but in the mean time you can keep updated on what I get up to from the links below! Boy have I been repeating my links a ton of times in this post...oh well, I guess you can manage?

PS: You might also want to have a look at the two discount codes in the sidebar. One for Sigma Beauty (10% off) who have amazing make-up brushes, eyeshadows et.c. and the other one for iherb in case you are interested in vitamins, protein powders et.c. :)

New Year, New Goals, Same Old Dreams

2013. Two thousand and thirteen. I might be a little late on the band wagon but, wow, it is crazy how time flies, and with that I mean, really - it flies by, with a loud "swooosh". Whenever a new year approaches I start thinking about resolutions and goals I can set for the coming year, and every year I end up with the same, old, sticky clichés. Work out, eat healthy, work more with school work, blah blah blah... It's so old and used up! And honestly, when have I ever stuck with any of those? Never. Therefore, this year I will set myself some proper, serious goals that I haven't had before. They may not  be all eye-opening and original, but certainly better than my previous ones. Let's get on with them then, shall we?

Move to England and start Uni
Meet new people and become more independent and educated

Pretty obvious as I've just applied to universities in the UK, but this is what I am the most excited about for this year. Experiencing the life at university, learning about what I love (for those who do not know, I have applied to fashion marketing) and meet so many new people!

Travel

I told you they wouldn't all be original, this is one of the typical resolutions, but I really do want to travel and explore some more of the world this year! I have a few things in mind, but I need to decide on what to choose!

Develop my Blog

Any blogger of any sort will constantly be striding towards having a blog they are proud of, and although I am partially satisfied with the way my blog is now, there is so much more I can do with it! I also want to make it more of a full-time thing. That is once I finish my IB because I'm about to enter the time on exams which doesn't allow much blogging I'm afraid...

I need to leap into something that's unknown territory and try my best to make it work although it scares the hell outta me...I other words I need to:

Start a YouTube Channel!
Good god, now I've said is, and it's here, black on white. I've wanted to start making YouTube videos for quite a while now as I am obsessed with others on YouTube, but I find it really hard to sit down and make it all work... but new year means new opportunities, so I am going to do it. As making videos is a quite time-consuming project I doubt there will be any great progress until school's done, but I would love it  if you guys could give me some tips and tricks regarding this whole video-making thing. And if you have particular requests for what kind of videos you would like to see me do then feel free to let me know as I am quite lost somewhere between vlogs, reviews and tutorials..

Sort out my skin and clean my insides!
didn't really intend for that to sound so grotesque...
You were right, there had to be something beauty related, and well since my skin has been acting like crazy lately I have decided to take matters in my own hands for real this time and start from the inside to make my skin clear up.  I hereby open my door to everything vitamins, clean and healthy food, water and exercise. Hopefully it will do the trick, because my skincare is currently not enough on its own...

I consider these things as more of dreams and things I want to achieve (except from that last one - that's a pretty ordinary resolution...) and boy do I want to work hard to do so! Anyway, now that I've shared my dreams, goals and resolutions for 2013 I want you to do the same! Either by making a blogpost of your own (is you do, then link it in the comments so that I can check it out :) ) or by leaving a comment listing them. This way we can all work together towards achieving them and support and motivate each other along the way! I know this isn't like my typical beauty and fashion posts but I wanted to make this post, and so I did :) 

I thought I'd leave you with two pictures that may help your imagination spring to life when pondering on what you want to have done by the end of this lovely year.

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!

xx

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!
