FUN EARRINGS.
Here are some of my favourites.
[image error]
I haven’t been wearing earrings, especially big ones, for a little while (other than thin, golden hoops occasionally), but lately I’ve collected some really fun ones and wanted to share them with you, cause I think the summer time is the prefect season to rock something a bit more… unusual.
[image error]
A recent purchase, and the most expensive pair of the bunch, are these severed hands earrings by Alexa Chung. I wish they came in gold, but the size is great, and the chopped hands are perfection. I had to have them. I tried to buy them in the past but were sold out, so I’m glad they restock them!
[image error]
I’ve already shown these on Instagram, so in case you were wondering where they are from, now you know.
[image error]
I got this number from the Asos website, from the brand ‘Limited Edition’ (I think? I can’t tell if that’s the actual name), a long time ago, but wanted to include them cause they are so colourful, and that brand has a lot of really quirky pieces available.
[image error]
If you really like these, and can’t find them for sale, I think getting a thin hoop and trying to DIY them shouldn’t be too difficult.
[image error]
Another colourful pair is this pompom set. I found these on Etsy, from ‘Embloiing‘.
They are fun and colourful, but my favourite earrings from that shop are these down here.
[image error]
How strange are these? I think they look super cool. They are supposed to be faces, and you can select from different ones.
[image error]
I really liked these, but as I said, there are similar ones still available.
[image error]
The final pair, which once again, I got from an Etsy shop (this time ) are these old school moon pendants. I love the moon, I love faces on stuff, and so of course, I love these.
Those are all. Do you have any quirky earrings? Any suggestions on shops or websites where I could find some more?

FROZEN LEMON CAKE.
Refreshing, easy and very tasty.
[image error]
Yesterday I wanted to make a quick cold dessert with just a few ingredients.
I had some cookies that I hadn’t eaten in a while, so I wanted to finally finish them, as well as some soy cream and a vegetarian lemon jelly pack. I combined them, and came up with super easy frozen cake.
[image error]
These are the ingredients I’ve used. I’ve only now noticed that I’ve made a typo in the photo, it’s just 300ml of soy whip (not 330ml).
[image error]
I started by crushing the cookies, as finely as I could.
Once I was happy with the texture, I combined them with the melted vegan spread to create a paste, which became the base for the cake (it’s basically a cheesecake).
[image error]
I placed it on this aluminium tray so later, after freezing, it would come off easily. I smoothed it out with the back of a spoon.
[image error]
Then I worked on the cream: I used the soy whipping cream and mixed it with the lemon jelly. You can use any flavour you like, if lemon isn’t your thing.
I did this not only for flavour, but to change the consistency of the cream so it could hold a shape.
[image error]
I used an electric mixer for a couple of minutes to combine them. Once the cream a bit stiff, it’s ready to be poured on top of the base.
[image error]
I used a fork to make a pattern.
[image error]
Then I sliced half a lemon as a decoration, but I would recommend you adding the lemon after freezing the cake, cause the lemon got really hard and made it difficult to cut the cake without breaking. Plus, the cream right under the slices got very sour cause it soaked up the juice.
[image error]
I put the cake in the freezer for an hour.
[image error]
And after that, it was ready to serve!
As you can see, the frozen lemon caused for the cake to break a bit. So, add the fruit you like only after freezing the cake.
[image error]
After the freezer, keep the cake in the fridge: it will hold the perfect, creamy consistency, without melting.
[image error]
Felix didn’t eat it last night, but this afternoon, and it was still really great (I also ate a slice).
[image error]
So, the presentation may not look perfect, but learning from my mistake, you can make yours look prettier. It was delicious either way, and lasted a full day.
Let me know if you try it! ໒( ♥ ◡ ♥ )७

THE NEW KITCHEN.
The reveal!
[image error]
I honestly couldn’t be happier with it. Since lots of you have been curious about it, and this has been my first true renovation project, in this post you will find some info and photos about the new kitchen.
[image error]
Not sure if you can tell from the photos, but this room isn’t so big. It’s actually a pretty small kitchen, so making it feel airy and open was something we wanted, and could be achieved if we played our cards right.
The room also isn’t symmetric, it’s not a perfect square as it has a sharper corner. We had to keep that in mind so that, once all the appliances and working top were laid out, you wouldn’t be able to feel as it something was off.
The strength of this room is the ceiling: even tho the dimensions of the actual working space aren’t so big, the tall ceiling allowed us to create that airy feel we were looking for. In order to keep that, I knew I didn’t wan to cut off the height by having all cupboards propped in the walls.
[image error]
Because of that, Felix came up with the idea of having a big cabinet on the left wall. This gave us tons of storage (way more than anticipated, which is great) without being in the way or taking away from the design.
[image error]
I also really wanted an island, and I knew we weren’t gonna be able to have anything big, but we managed to squeeze it in wonderfully. It’s not in the way, and even tho it is tiny, it offers plenty of space for two people (which is all we need, as we do have a proper dining table in the living room).
I bought the stools online, and unfortunately they wrote the wrong dimensions so we already ordered new, different ones (I will sell these). It’s a shame, because I think they matched so well: the green goes with all the plants; the wood (which is actually just metal) matched the actual oak we have all over the kitchen; and the clear back was a cool touch. I got them from Wayfair, if you would like to get them for yourself, but just know that they are 6cm taller than they claim to be on the ad.
They might look alright when you look at them, but when you sit, there is no leg space as they are simply a bit too tall for our island.
[image error]
The floor tiles were a huge hit, everybody seems to like them, and I’m absolutely in love with them. I think they add a very interesting touch to the room.
We were very unsure if we should get wood (as all our floors are wood) or tiles, and I’m glad we opted for the second one. They are also easier to clean, which works well for the kitchen.
They are from Fired Earth.
[image error]
So as I mentioned, keeping the right wall ‘cupboard free’ was something I really wanted. What I had in mind was to have two big wooden shelves instead, and just one cupboard were we could display the dishes.
The original idea was to have regular sized shelves (5cm), but once they arrived we were informed that if we wanted to go for that, we couldn’t have had spotlights under them.
So we could either keep the slim ones, and use an LED strips, or get chunky ones, and have proper lights. Both Felix and I choose the 10cm ones (which are the ones you see). These slowed the works down a bit, but it was worth it.
I actually think it turned out for the best, as they look very unique!
Also, the white splash back tiles are from Fired Earth, in case you were wondering.
[image error]
When designing the kitchen, we didn’t want any space to go to waste. Every little corner has its own purpose, and most things are hidden to avoid crowding up the working surface.
[image error]
Everything was done in a smart way. Like this cupboard here, that was equipped with a sliding corner shelf so that we can just pull it out and reach for anything we need. In the previous kitchen, most of this space was unused as we couldn’t reach down the back.
[image error]
For the cooker and oven with went with the Smeg range, and I’m so happy with it. It looks nice, more modern and polished, but can I say how good it feels so be able to have a light in there, and not hear loud noises every time we turn on the extracting fan? Small things that make all the difference.
[image error]
In order to give a streamlined look to the ‘main’ wall, we decided to downsize the fridge (this one if from Miele), which is about 1/3 of the one we had before (we had a Smeg), but to be honest that is not such a bad thing, cause before things could easily expire without us noticing – having so much stuff – whilst now we clearly see what’s available and we can store food for about a week.
So that is the kitchen! What do you think? ໒( ♥ ◡ ♥ )७

PUTTING ON MAKEUP.
A failed makeup video.
[image error]
Yesterday I tried filming a makeup tutorial. With the lack of a tripod, I tried putting the camera on the fireplace and hoped for the best.
It was chatty, and it was an okay video, but because I was so far away, I opted to scrap the video, and instead turn it into a blog post.
In this photo up here, you get to see the framing: it was pleasing to look at, but definitely a bit far. Also, I turned around cause my lights started flickering.
[image error]
After writing about how pretty and warm the weather has been here, about a week ago, it completely turned and now we have less than 20*C on a daily basis. Hoping the sun will come back, but still, even clouds can be pretty sometimes, and anytime it rains, it’s so cosy.
[image error]
I’ve started off by applying this Too Cool for School foundation. It matched my tan better than the paler foundations I have been using, and it has medium coverage. I particularly like its scent, and I’ve been liking to use a beauty blender to apply my base cause it gives a more natural finish.
[image error]
Some good makeup favourites have been from the Hourglass Ambient Lighting collection, particularly this bronzer and the blush down here.
[image error]
These two go well with my skin tone, and I like how highlighting they are, so I can cut down on one step when I apply my makeup in the morning (if I’m doing a quick makeup look).
[image error]
I’ve been also using this eyebrow pencil I’ve recently reviewed. I still love the design, but a small complaint is that none of the shades available fully match my natural eyebrow colour. Not a big deal, but I do wish one of them did.
[image error]
Onto eyes, I’ve used my Natura palette. This is honestly my go to, both for simple and more intense makeup days. You can actually get free global shipping today using the code marzipans at checkout, if you are interested!
[image error]
I’m using all 5 in the photo up here: ‘rosa’ as a base, ‘foglia’ on the inner corners, ‘sole’ from the inner corner to middle, ‘fuoco’ to deepen the crease and ‘rame’ to darken the outer corners.
I’m using this black eyeliner from Illamasqua, which I like because of easy it is to apply the product with this tip, which is stiff enough to give you plenty of control. It dries feeling quite chalky, but looks sharp and intense.
[image error]
Once again, for the mascara I’m using the one I wrote about from Pretty Vulgar. I’m using it more and more because, as I said, it really does curl the eyelashes on its own, which is nice.
[image error]
The final step is lipstick: this one is from Em Cosmetics, by Michelle Phan. Emma told me how impressed she was with her new stuff, so I was excited to give it a try.
I have to say, I really like the lipsticks! The application is easy, the product is smooth and buttery, and it’s matte but feels very hydrating and fades wonderfully. Plus, the colour selection is great, and the best thing, in my opinion, is the scent! Not sure if it’s cocoa butter or something else – all I know is that it’s tempting to eat them.
[image error]
After filming this video I completely forgot to pose for a close up, and instead went out to grab groceries.
[image error]
On the way there I saw this plant, which flowers looked so stunning against the red brick.
[image error]
For the past 3 days, my evenings have consisted on watching Glow, which I’ve just finished and loved it (have you watched it?) and playing Hotel.
[image error]
I used to love this game so much, so I brought it back out and now Felix and I can’t stop playing.
[image error]
I keep losing, by the way. But it’s so good.
Anyway, because I failed at making this video, I’m thinking that I will vlog tomorrow, so that should go better!
See you then.

PRETTY VULGAR.
Testing out a new makeup brand.
[image error]
I hope you are all having a relaxed Sunday.
The weather here has gotten much colder all of a sudden, but that turned out just fine for me as I took the time to wash my hair, put on a comfy sweater and try out some new makeup I received from Pretty Vulgar.
[image error]
Since I was sent the whole line, I wanted to do a dedicated blog post sharing my first impressions on the products. I am not sponsored by the brand, and I wasn’t asked to do this.
[image error]
The collection came in an adorable 3 drawer box.
To be perfectly honest with you, if this brand existed a couple of years ago, it probably would have been all I would have wanted to buy/use: the packagings are totally something I would have obsessed over. The brand aesthetic reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
[image error]
The brand seems to targeted towards girly customers, and although I’ve grown to prefer more minimal designs, some of the products still got me very excited. The 3 products above are probably my favourites, packaging wise.
[image error]
But let’s begin with reviewing each category, starting with eyeshadow palettes. This collection came with 3 different ones, all with the ‘bird’ theme.
[image error]
The one that caught my attention is the light blue one, simply because it has the most fun colours.
The nude one in the middle could become a good everyday palette, whilst the one on the right is something I don’t see myself using, so I’m giving it away (info at the end of this post).
[image error]
The pigmentation is pretty impressive, at least with the eyeshadows I’ve tried on this morning.
[image error]
I’ve used Ego all over; then I’ve deepened the colour with Formation on the outer corners; and highlighted the inner corners and brow bone with Free.
[image error]
Moving onto cheecks, the line includes a blush and a highlighter.
[image error]
Unfortunately the blush arrived all broken, but I will try to fix it. It’s still a bit too bright for my taste, but I could get some use out of it.
When I first saw the highlighter, for some reason, I didn’t think I was gonna like it, but just one swatch and bam! I completely changed my mind. This is super intense, and has a peachy undertone. The only complaint is that it fades away quicker than others I use, not fully but it’s not as intense as when freshly applied.
[image error]
Onto eyebrow products, they included both pots and pencils. Both options are great, as I tried both. They come in 3 shades each, and I’m using the lightest one (if you scroll back up to the eye close up you will see) of both, together: I started by using the pencil version first, which I’m super happy it exists because I’ve used up the Etude House one I liked so much, and this is a great replacement. Then I went ahead and used the pot, which gave me sharper edges.
As you can see, both products look almost identical on photo, as the differences are subtle. The top line comes from the pot, and when I washed it off, lasted longer than the pencil formula. The pencil is more handy, better for an everyday use as it also looks softer, but if you are looking for something that lasts longer and gives you more precision, the pot is for you. I really like both!
There are also several eyeliners, as well as an eyeshadow primer which I totally didn’t see while getting ready, so I can’t give you a review on it.
Out of the eyeliners, I only used the brown one from the pot, so I also haven’t tried the pencil liners just yet.
I took photos of all the swatches and realised just now that they are all blurry, so I don’t really have anything to show (sorry for the fail), but I can say that I really love the eyeliner pots. They have 3 different colours, the black one is very intense and creamy (a bit more than the other two) a brown one – which I’m wearing in the photo – that went on very smoothly, and a grey-ish one (which, to be fair, I’ve never seen before). I do hope that they make more colours, and a richer brown than the one they currently have, cause the design of the product is gorgeous, and the formula is great.
As I mentioned, I really love this design as well, it’s so unique! I’ve been using the Marc Jacob’s mascara (the one I’ve included in the Summer Favourites Box) and that one is insanely great at providing volume and length, whilst this one up here is more on the natural side – which is not a bag thing. The one thing this one does better, is the way it curls the lashes as you apply it: I never had a mascara that truly helped with curling, so I was surprised that this one did.
Now, for lips, the are a ton of products. Let’s start with the lipsticks, which offer 6 shades.
I really like the formula, I tent do go back to this type more and more often cause they have a rich pigment and fade beautifully. Whilst I love the look of matte lipsticks, they tent to not look so great after a little bit that you wear them, or dry out the lips, or need constant touch ups – so a formula like this one, which isn’t sheer or matte, but an in between kind of deal, is probably the easiest to pull off.
Talking about matte formulas, they have these 4 shades available, and I was once again surprised. In fact, I was not expecting a metallic finish.
I am gonna keep these two as they match my preferred choices of lip colours, so I should try them out when I get a chance. I feel like the red one could look cool during winter time.
An extra item, that I’ve never seen before, is this hydrating lip product for matte lipsticks – this is not the actual name, I just don’t have the paper it came with anymore. At first I completely misunderstood its use and got really excited, because I thought that you would apply it to a regular lipstick and it would transform it into a matte finish (like the matte nail top coats). But then I realised it’s just supposed to hydrate the lips when you are wearing matte lipsticks, which is really good anyway, since I previously stated that I sometimes avoid matte lipsticks because they dry out my lips.
When I applied it on top of my regular lipstick (incorrectly) I noticed that it had the same velvety feel of a liquid to matte lipstick.
The final thing for the lips are lip glosses. Now, you know I stay away from these, for the most part, because living in a windy city, it’s just too messy to bother, but once I saw that 3rd shade, with shimmery gold sparkles, I couldn’t resist to put it on.
These are plumping glosses, and they all look very pretty. They are minty, as you would expect, but they are not painful, whilst still making the lips look a bit more full.
I have to say, I might actually start wearing lip gloss from now on!
The last thing in the line are 6 nail polishes. I really wanted to try one on, so I could let you know about the drying time and application, but I’m out of nail polish remover so for now I can just say that I’m into the muted shades. And the bottles are so cool.
Alright! We made it through the box! I’ve selected a few products to give to Emma, but I’ve also done the same for one of you.
————————-EDIT
The giveaway is now over.
Here is the winner:

A PRETTY GOOD WEEK.
Hot and sunny.
[image error]
I haven’t been blogging in the past week because we have been experiencing some amazing weather, and I was busy enjoying every second of it.
This post will fill you in on what I have been up to.
[image error]
The weather started to be really nice last Saturday, and so I took the chance to go out wearing some cute sandals and show my pale – at the time – legs.
[image error]
Felix and I treated ourselves to some really unhealthy food. These were the starters. I snapped a photo of them cause the composition looked pleasing, somehow (possibly because of the succulent). It was very fat. But those fries.
[image error]
Then we headed down to the beach.
[image error]
And of course we brought the pugs. The only problem: they were too hot. And both terrified of water.
[image error]
But that was only the beginning. On Sunday I stayed out with Maya for a couple of hours.
When I got back inside, my arms were burnt.
[image error]
Now, this may seem like a bad thing – and it probably is – but after 4 years of living here, I finally managed to get a tan in the UK. A true miracle.
[image error]
I had the idea to invite Signe and Jack to the pier and just have a spontaneous evening together.
[image error]
It was such a fun night! We got to go on rides, play games and win some items (Felix managed to drop my newly won bouncy ball into the ocean).
[image error]
The pier is always gorgeous, but when the sun is setting, it’s even more magical.
[image error]
Felix and Jack ended up into the ocean, just like my bouncy ball.
[image error]
Jack had these in his backpack, so we lit them up!
[image error]
On Monday I stayed by the beach all day, pretty much. And I loved it. This time I had sunscreen on, and I got to go for a nice swim.
Also, yes. The pebbles hurt. But when it’s summer time, you can endure the pain and ‘enjoy’ laying on them.
[image error]
On Tuesday I had to work on some stuff, one of which is a print set I’m just done drawing. I’m thinking of making a pack of 3 and selling them on my store, and these will be very affordable. I’m hoping people will like them, cause I would love to do more.
I have been loving to draw lately, I can’t stop doodling and it feels like it’s all I wanna do some days. Not sure what started this, but I always go through periods when I focus mostly on one thing over another (sometimes it’s baking, others is cooking in general, then sewing, and so on…) and now it happens to be drawing. It’s so calming.
[image error]
Later that day I did manage to go down to the beach again, shortly, just to try and see if the pugs were gonna get a bit more accustomed to the water. But no, it didn’t happen.
[image error]
Wednesday was a full working day, as well as collecting stuff for a last minute party I decided to organise: in fact, I was told I was gonna get the kitchen finished on Thursday, and so, to celebrate, last nigh I invited a few friends over.
[image error]
That was an insane idea, but it turned out really well in the end.
It was so much work, because the workers left at 3pm, and the guests were coming at 7pm. I wanted Felix and I to cook all the food from scratch, clean out the living room from all the boxes, arrange the kitchen, learn how to use the new appliances, prepare music and games, decorate and make sure that everything was nice and clean.
[image error]
It took 4 full hours of madness, but we pulled it off! Here is the cake I prepared.
[image error]
We all made flower crowns, ate veggie meatballs and potatoes, salad and cake, as well as some Swedish snacks.
[image error]
Oh! If I didn’t mention it, we celebrated Midsummer, that’s why I wanted to throw the party. After rushing everything to make it work, only later than night we found out that each year midsummer happens on a different date, and this year wasn’t on the 22nd but on the 24th.
So we could have totally taken our time and planned things better, but hey, it was still a lot of fun!
[image error]
But here is a first look at the kitchen. It’s not finished yet, we are missing two big shelves on top of the sink, but as soon as it’s complete I’m sure I will post some more detailed photos of it.
I’m really loving it, and Felix is as well. It’s so fresh and airy, and exactly what we envisioned. We are so happy with it.
[image error]
I’m just so glad I can get back into cooking. Expect some new recipes coming your way!
What have you been up to? Has the weather been just as nice where you live?

LIMONE.
New clothing line!
[image error]
Summer is here and so is the Limone line!!
Read this post to find out all about each piece.
[image error]
When it comes to my personal style, I find that a beret tops off any look. That means that my own line had to include one, and this one is an off-white colour, with an adorable leaf detail.
[image error]
I’ve paired the beret with this sweet linen dress, with baby blue and white stripes, embellished by a lace hem that matches the front of the ‘corset’.
[image error]
To make this a cohesive piece with the rest of the line, I’ve selected some pale yellow ribbons to tie up on your shoulders.
[image error]
Moving onto the second outfit, I’ve included another dress-like option, but more casual.
[image error]
Pinafores are my go-to all year round, and this one has chunky straps, which are adjustable, and comes in a pretty blue denim with yellow stitching.
[image error]
The best feature must be the two pockets with lemon embroideries all over (we had these custom made, which was pretty cool).
The fabric is thin and breathable, perfect for a hot summer day.
[image error]
Underneath it I’m wearing the softest t-shirt I’ve ever put on. I’ve looked everywhere for this fabric, and finally found it during one of my trips to Italy. It has just the right amount of sheerness, so that you can wear some cute bikini or bralette under it.
[image error]
For this outfit I’ve also put on my rain jacket. Brighton may be having some really nice and sunny days, but it always switches to rain really quickly, so having a rain jacket – even during the summer time – is a must.
[image error]
But during summer, which is the only time I get to show some skin, I didn’t wanna end up covering my outfit, and so a clear option was the way to go!
[image error]
As I said, colder days aren’t unusual here, and maybe where you live that happens as well, so I incorporated a warmer outfit for those days, which can still be worn in other seasons too.
[image error]
This one is the most sporty outfit out of the 3, and features this oversized hoodie with puffy sleeves, elbow patches, and an asymmetric hem.
[image error]
Like the t-shirt, it has some yellow touches, the lemon embroidery, and it is made of a super comfy fleece material.
[image error]
These are probably one of the pieces I will wear the most, cause they look cool, unusual, and are the comfiest.
[image error]
The scuba fabric is thick enough to hold a great shape. I’ve found this one in Italy as well.
In the back, there is a pocket with the lemon embroidery.
[image error]
To finish the look, I wore my Limone socks (the text goes all around).
[image error]
These are all the pieces! Do you see anything you like? What’s your favourite piece?
I haven’t posted my lookbook video yet, but if you fancy anything, you may wanna grab it now using the code LIMONE to get free shipping (the code is only valid till the 20th of June).
I really hope you like it!

MINAKO.
The most unique doll.
[image error]
She arrived today, and I couldn’t help but take some pretty photos of her. ❤
[image error]
She was made by Daria, an artist from Russia, which has a shop called Claymate Creatures.
[image error]
I have a few other creatures of hers, which are so beautiful, but in all the months I have been following Daria on Instagram, I was hoping she would put for sale one of her bigger, human-like dolls. And a couple of weeks ago, she did!
[image error]
As soon as I saw that Minako was for sale, I didn’t think twice about getting her. Plus, her Japanese name, and her looks, are simply perfect.
[image error]
Daria included this pug brooch in the box as a gift, so cute!
[image error]
This is what Minako came with: an adorable beanie, a furry jacket (as well as a crochet top hidden underneath), a silver skirt and ‘leather’ jacket, a matching bag with small books inside, and a mask so that she can fully transform into a bunny.
[image error]
That mask adds such a cool twist to this doll!
[image error]
Here is how she looks with nothing on, and to be honest, I quite like her this way as well!
[image error]
I was so happily surprised by her dimensions: she is much bigger than the animal creatures, so they look proportionate when placed next to each other.
[image error]
Of course the temptation to make her cute clothes was too strong, so the first thing I did after unboxing her, was to run into my office, grab some scrap fabric and make her a couple of pieces.
She comes with a lot of winter items, but none for summer time, so it made sense to me to make her a few, and it was so much fun that I’m already planning more outfits to make her.
[image error]
I’m so happy she arrived, and so glad I was able to get her.

HELLO KITTY X LAZY OAF
June 11th, 2017
A gift.
[image error]
I was sent this on the mail. I was told it was coming, but I wasn’t sure what was going to be inside.
Pretty often, one of my favourite clothing brands – Lazy Oaf – collabs with artists or brands. This time, they teamed up with Hello Kitty, and sent me a few pieces from the line.
[image error]
I got home, and opened it up. Seeing that turtleneck instantly made me happy.
[image error]
They included a few other things from Hello Kitty as well, which was a nice addition. I’m more into other Sanrio characters (as you know), but I liked the way they shaped the collection around this one. Can you imagine tho, Gudetama x Lazy Oaf? I would buy every. single. piece. if they made a line together.
[image error]
The two pieces they sent me are such good choices for me: the turtleneck is a bright red (which you guys know I have been loving since December) and my favourite thing about it is the branding on the actual neck; that’s a really cool touch and I wonder why I haven’t thought of doing that with my own clothing brand.
[image error]
[image error]
The pinafore came in a small size and is a bit big on me. I don’t mind it, as I usually love to pair this kind of dress with oversized sweaters underneath, so the extra space will turn out to be useful.
I think the straps are extremely cool, by the way.
I don’t think this line is available just yet, cause I didn’t find it on the website, but if you have never seen Lazy Oaf before, do take a look at their stuff cause it’s one of my favourite places to shop at!
This post isn’t sponsored, by the way, I was simply gifted some stuff as the brand knows I’m a massive fan, and I’m super glad they did.
On a completely different note, I have been obsessing over pufferfish. I mean, I always have, but yesterday I found the one.

Also the cowfish is super adorable, but this porcupine puffer is everything I have ever wanted.
I originally went into the shop to look at some dwarf puffers, which I would be able to care for, but after seeing this one up here, nothing else mattered anymore.
Unfortunately, the one I like lives in saltwater, which is a lot harder to care for than freshwater, so I had to say goodbye to it. My heart is a little broken, but at least I got this photo.
Ah! Maybe one day I will have enough space and time to care for one.
But for now, that is all I wanted to say. Have a lovely Sunday!

PUGS GO CAMPING.
Doodling.

For the past 3 days I have been drawing. A lot.
My ‘camping’ subscription box is coming out soon, and so I wanted to add a fun little printed comic.
So I started drawing, and I’m just done with it!

Of course I can’t show too much or else there would be no point in adding this to the subscription box, but because it took a lot of my time, and I really like how it turned out, here are some of my favourite parts.

If you didn’t figure it out, it’s about Maya and Edgar going camping.

The funniest bit to me, was drawing Edgar. I made sure to give him a different look each time.

And I got to draw some scenery (which is my go-to when I doodle).

And a lot of hilarious pug close ups.

There are only 30 pages, so I’m not gonna show any more, but I hope you like what you see so far… I will most likely show it all on my unboxing video anyway.
That’s it! I just wanted you to know what I have been spending my time on these past few days. ₍ᐢ•ﻌ•ᐢ₎*
