Monday's inspiration

I could have found another maternity wear inspiration, but since I have about six weeks to go, I've given up maternity wear entirely. I basically look big in everything I wear, picture an elephant wearing clothes. Therefore I'm focusing on what I can wear when I'm hopefully back to normal size. Zara has some amazing pieces at the moment and I'm gutted that I can't buy any of it, but crossing fingers that they keep up the good work throughout the year. Here are some of my faves:

Roadtrip getaway

Probably our last trip as a "family" of two. I would have wished for a more exciting destination, but as my bump kind of prevents me to fly, our final goal was Stavanger. Of course we plotted several stops on the way as I need a break from well sitting I guess (not a joke). We also had an overnight stay to and from Stavanger. Although I'm extremely exhausted, the trip turned out to be wonderful and much needed. Although I'm an overseas hopper, I'm really surprised of how beautiful this country can be, especially in nice weather.

Shellac part deux

I had my Shellac appointment today and I have to say that I'm fairly pleased with the outcome. The glossy finish is amazing and I love the fact that your nails dries instantly. The only pet peeve is that the manicurist didn't cover my entire nail. Although it's not noticeable the sides of my nails are not fully covered. I'm pretty sure it's not suppose to be like that. Will have to ask her when I have it removed in two weeks time. Excited to see how long the manicure will last.

Casio kids

This popped up in the mail yesterday. Such a bargain from Ebay. Only $28.76 dollars, less than 200 kr. Free shipping and everything.

Shellac

The last couple of months has been really stressful with the kitchen refurbishment. Although I haven't physically contributed that much, it's still tiring for a preggy woman in my state having to face the clutter every day. I am therefore looking very much forward to my spa manicure on Wednesday. This is another one of my birthday present. Felt like I needed to mention it as I really can't afford to having my nails done that often.

Anyway, I will be trying out something new, the latest rave in the beauty nail world, Shellac. Very much looking forward to it. Will post a pic on Wednesday.

Kitchen party

The last couple of months my husband has been preoccupied with mainly one thing and that is redoing our kitchen. I wish I could take credit for it, but it's been mostly him and for someone who has never done anything like it before it turned out pretty good. Better than good actually, just how I imagined it to be. It's officially my favorite room in the apartment. Today we invited a couple of friends over for a kitchen party / Baby shower which marked the end of a long refurbishing process or rather more appropriate the beginning of one of many lovely moments in our new kitchen.
