DIY Interior Inspiration

Ever since I was little I've loved making things on my own, sowing, cutting, gluing, modeling etc. And I've always had the feeling that when I move out I don't wan't my home to look like every other home, or anything you could find in a catalogue or a magazine, I want my place to be special. Over the winter I've watched a danish tv-show called "Nybyggerne" which is basically about how 5 couples get a budget and a completely empty house and every week they have to decorate a new room and the best one wins more money for their building project. It inspired me so much to see how some of the couples invent their own furniture or come up with ideas to get their house exactly how they wanted it. This picture is one I found on tumblr a few days ago, and I love the idea of this little mini-movietheatreish sofa made from nothing but pillows and old wooden contructionstands (I'm guessing here I have no idea what they're called in english). It just goes to show that you dont have to be insanely rich to make your home creative and interesting. Anyways, I just wanted to share it and hopefully inspire some of you as well. Have a great day! x

Rebuilding

Being a teenager is confusing and annoying and frustrating as fuck. That being said it's rare that I break down completely. This weekend I broke down completely. Monday morning was probably the hardest morning this year so far, and the first time where I didn't feel like going to school. Monday started off horrible, and I went home from school because I couldn't keep myself together or focused on anything. So yea I went home and after feeling bad for myself for an hour or two I started to build myself up again. I realised that my happiness has to depend on me. No one else, just me. And I realised that it's not selfish of me to do things that are right for me, or want what's best for me, and if it is selfish then call me selfish I couldn't care less. After some improvised yoga on my livingroom floor with some Nirvana playing loud in the bacground, I actually started feeling like a great person again (don't ask how that helped it just did). For once I spend the entire evening watching sex & the city and talking to Maria, not caring about anything but my own happiness. Something I hadn't done in a long time, and it felt great! The past two mornings, I haven't started school until 10, so I've used my mornings to really be nice to myself. Tuesday I put on a cute pyjamas, made a big cup of coffee, and cut up some fruit, lid a couple of candles in my room, turned on some nice music and ate breakfast in bed. Today I forced myself to get up early and go out for a run/ walk in the woods where I live. The weather was lovely and it wasn't too cold, and even though I felt dead when I got home, my whole day has seemed better. Today was the best day in a long time. School was great, I worked out and I got a high mark on my english paper, and most important, I felt great about myself the whole day. If anyone actually reads this I hope you remember to do something great for yourself every day, you should be the most important person in your life, no matter what. Lots of love and goodnight x

Something That Bugs Me

Yesterday I was watching a danish tv-show about Saseline Sørensen (who is a danish celebrity, and a former popstar), and something that bothered me was when she worked out she started talking about her body. She started out by saying "I'm not skinny, I do have fat, but it is good fat" and that bothered me. Saseline is actually a model, and even though she has boobs and an ass, she's still skinnier than most normal women. Later she talked about how she couldn't understand women wanting to be skinny and how she thought it wasn't womanly to be thin. This bothered me so much. I can't take when people with a perfect hourglas shaped body talks about how other women are less womanly because they dont have bigger boobs and a rounder ass. I don't think anyone would be offended if I said I'm not the most curvy person in the world, and if I gained 20 kilos I still wouldn't be. My bodyshape is different and when I gain weight it doesnt go straight to my chest, it goes to my stomach. Does that make me less of a woman? I don't think so. I am just as much of a woman as Kim Kardashian, Saseline Sørensen and Marilyn Monroe, I just look how I wanna look. These things are being said to try and make more women feel good about themselves, but why do you have to say others are "wrong" to feel that you are "right"? If you have a vagina you are female, there are no such thing as being "more womanly" than anyone else. No wonder so many girls feel bad about the way they look.

So, moral of my rage here is that I hope anyone who reads this know that they don't have to look a certain way, as long as theyre healthy and feel good in their own skin! And anyone skinny ever tells you they're fat, shoving a marsbar down their throat is a perfectly fine way to shut them up x
