Musical Friday #77

Hello everyone!

Can you believe that tomorrow is the 1st of December? And then before you know it BAM we are in 2013. Jesus time is flying way to much freaking fast or my taste.

There is not much to tell you about right now I have a massive headache because I got irritated/over stressed about something and now I feeling like someone punched me on the head -_-...

Other than that yesterday I manged to film 3 videos... but I might have to re-record one of them because I forgot to include something baahh.... Do you guys have any video requests? I'm open to suggestions? 

Have a good weekend.

The Joy Formidable - This ladder is ours - New Single -I only discovered the band and song recently but I'm completely SOLD! I love it so much!

Styled to Rock with Rihanna!

EN: Have you ever heard of a U.K. T.V. show called Styled to Rock? No? I'll explain then, you know that other T.V. show with Heidi Klum Project Runway right? So Styled to Rock is something similar BUT is not to do normal clothes, the point is to do clothes for perfomers in this case singers, clothes for Live shows! So every episode they will have different artist as their clients from Kanye West, Pixie Lott, Cheryl Cole, Katy Perry etc... and the winner gets to dress Rihanna for a Live performance she did last Summer already. I really enjoyed this T.V. show and I watched all on Youtube, so in case you want to see it I decided to do this post and share with you the links for the videos. :)

PT: Já ouviram falar de um programa chamado Styled to Rock? Não? Então passo a explicar, vocês conhecem aquele outro programa com a Heidi Klum Project Runway certo? Então o Styled to Rock é semelhante mas em vez de fazerem roupa normal eles fazem roupa para espectáculos, cantores, para os concertos ao vivo! Todos os dias eles tem um novo artista como cliente desde Kanye West, Pixie Lott, Cheryl Cole, Katy Perry etc... e quem ganhar a Rihanna vestirá a roupa dele/a num concerto que já aconteceu neste Verão. Eu gostei deste programa, eu vi todos os episódios no Youtube, por isso caso queiram também ver eu decidi fazer este post e partilhar convosco os links para todos os videos. :)

New: Rings #3

EN: Hello everyone! Today I bring you another post about some of my new rings.

PT: Olá a todos! O post de hoje é sobre alguns dos meus novos anéis.

Black bow ring from Claire's. I have shopped in Claire's in ages but when I was on a hunt for a simple black ring with so many shops in London I couldn't anything (at a affordable price) but lucky enough I found this one. / Um anel com laço preto da Claire's. Eu já não comprava algo na Claire's à séculos mas uma vez estava em busca de um anel simples e preto e com tantas lojas em Londres não encontrava nada (a um preço acessível) mas vá lá com sorte encontrei este.

Empties | Products I've used up #1

EN: Hello everyone! Today's blog post is about my first Empties - Products I've used up video. You probably have seen some of these videos around. So basically you will gather a few products that you finished and in a way share a review about the product, if you liked it or not, if you would repurchase it again or not.

So girls do these videos on a monthly basis but honestly I don't finish so many products in a month in order to do a video every month BUT in the mean time I already have a bag full of more empty products because it has probably been two months since I recorded that video. So by the end of December I might have another video like this one.

PT: Olá a todos! O blog post de hoje é sobre produtos que acabei/terminei. Vocês muito provavelmente já viram vídeos deste género. Basicamente é juntar alguns produtos que conseguiram acabar e fazer uma pequena review do produto se gostaram ou não, se voltariam a comprar ou não.

Algumas meninas fazem este tipo de vídeo de mês em mês mas sinceramente eu não acabou assim tantos produtos num mês para fazer um vídeo mensalmente MAS no entanto eu já tenho outro saco com mais outros produtos que acabaram isto porque já deve ter feito quase dois meses que gravei esse primeiro vídeo. Por isso lá para Dezembro já deve haver outro vídeo destes.

Hello everyone! Hello to the new followers we are 360 over here now :D. How was your week? 

Well this week I decided to dye my hair even though I said I wouldn't I started noticing 3 different colours on my hair and it was really bothering me! So basically I still have black end from the last time I dyed my hair black (September 2011), I let my hair grow but then by April I had this massive contrast of brown hair and black ends, so I dyed dark brown in April. When I arrived to Portugal in June I relaxed my hair and that product sort of "bleached" my hair so that brown became lighter, and then my natural hair came along. In the end I had my natural brown, lighter brown and then black, nonononono this is not acceptable. So I dyed my hair dark brown again aaaannddd it looks waaayy much dark that I expected, I even this is black not brown lol. I have to wait for a sunnier day to really understand the colour. 

Also my MOTHER dyed her hair today, I think for the first time ever >.<. She went to one of those hairdresser schools and they do it for free, so basically she was a "guinea pig" (cobaia). The colour is alright it's basically black, but the haircut rsrsrsr to much layers for my taste... lets see what happens next time when my mother washes her hair and I have to blow dry it.

Aaannddd that's pretty much it really, I have to try and update my damn CV (curriculum), a have a list of video ideas but I can't film now because my dad is at home -_-, I can't be bothered to explain what is Youtube and that what I'm doing is nothing bad *sigh*. I like to be home alone when I film.

Have a good weekend.

NEXT D.I.Y.

EN: Hello everyone! Just a quick post to let you know about my next D.I.Y. "project". 

Thanks to Akuma Kanji I found these "pins" at a local Chinese shop. Now I call them pins because I think they are meant to be used with paper or something, basically this is office stuff. So I bought two packs and in total I have 38 of them. I'm not sure what am I'm gonna do with them, initially I wanted to put them on my upper back but then realized I would need to buy like four more packs... huummm nah. So I'm either putting on my shoulders or on my collar. Opinions?

Huummm I will decide later, at the moment I have to wash this jacket first, I haven't used it in yeeaaarrssss he is 10 years old. TEN.

I will keep you updated. Would you like to see a video of me doing this D.I.Y. "project"?

PT: Olá a todos! Apenas um post breve para vos avisar do meu próximo "projecto" D.I.Y. - Faça Você Mesmo.

Graças à Akuma Kanji, encontrei estes "pins" numa loja dos chineses. Agora eu chamo isto de pins porque eu não acho que isto seja para roupa, isto é para ser usado em cenas de papel ou sei lá... opah são cenas para o escritório. Comprei duas caixas, no total tenho 38 pins. Ainda não sei aonde irei colocar, inicialmente iria pôr nas minhas costas, na parte de cima, mas ao fazer contas percebi que iria ter de comprar práí mais umas 4 caixas pelo menos... hhuummm nah. 

Por isso devo pôr isto nos ombros ou no colarinho. Opiniões?

Huummm irei decidir depois porque agora este casaco de ganga está para ser lavado, eu já não o uso à aaannooosss, ele tem 10 anos. DEZ!

Eu depois farei um posto sobre o assunto de como isto correu, mas por acaso gostariam de ver este "projecto" em vídeo?

Hello everyone! Today's post is about jackets and coats :). I went over to Polyvore and made this collage with some of my favourite jackets and coats of the moment. Starting off with the one of the picture above, every time I see it I die a little lol. The Whistles Marlon Quilted Leather Jacket can be found at ASOS - it's correctly out of stock - it costs €409.76/£295.00 (uufff kick in the balls) but  I managed to find the same jacket at House of Fraiser and they only have size 8 online... guess many people like it haha. For me this is the currently THE perfect leather jacket. I have one leather jacket in black but it is a bit cropped, basically ends a bit after my boobs and I wanted something longer in black. You can see a video of Sunbeamsjess [here] in order to see more details at 7:30 of the amazing leather jacket.

Than you can see below a bunch of other jackets that I also fancy. Do you like any of them?

Then there is this coat from Zara I love the shape/style, I don't dislike the colour but I would prefer in Black. YES I LOVE BLACK. You can see the black version of this coat in this video from So Totally Vlog [here] at 5:21. Also you can see Andy Torres' latest Blog post, she is also wearing the black version of the coat [here]. I think that it's the same model, if not there are very very similar.

Musical Friday #75

Hello Everyone!

Well this week I started off with a left foot, kinda. On Monday I went out in the town with my mate bought some beauty products and the BAM the next day I started to feel sick oohhh snap. This was a terrible timing because yesterday (Thursday) I was going to do a oral presentation at my University and I was scared that I wouldn't get better till then. But luckily I did, "God bless the drugs" lolz.

The presentation went great, I don't think I ever had a presentation that it went so well, smooth and like "I got this shiz DOMINATED" like this one. So basically my presentation was about the internship that I did while I was in London for 6 months this year. I had to talk about, what is the company all about, what were my tasks the good and the bad very general stuff, also I couldn't go to much in detail because I signed a "Silent Agreement" with the Company. 

I had to do a Power Point presentation and truth be told I did my Power Point slides whateva on Wednesday, OMG OLD HABITS DIE HARD! You would think that after spending about 18 years of my life in school I should have known better, don't leave things to the last minute.... but it's aalll good :P. I finished all in one afternoon till evening, it was pretty basic, because currently I'm working with a Windows XP and from experience, the Power Points that I do at home always end up different when I use a computer at University, it changes the letters, doesn't do certain effects and on and on.

I don't know how long it took me to do the presentation, it was suppose to be 15 minutes but I'm guessing I did like 20 minutes maybe. And my Coordinator Teacher and the other ladies liked so it's aalll goooddd. 

When I left the place I felt like "Yes Baby" over there in the pictures above HAHA.

Have a good weekend!

Time to Sparkle #1

Source: wanelo.com via Karen on Pinterest

I know that this is surely a trend right now but I never was a girl that liked these type of sparkly/sequin clothing, I think that in my whole closet I only have ONE thing and I bearly even use it, but I'm one of those girls that I will keep it till some day I may think of an outfit that goes with it. It's hard to explain the piece that I have but it's black sequins (so not too flashy) and it's for my shoulders area, imagine a little jacket with no sleeves and also short on length, get it? >.<

Anyways on a daily basis I come across with something with sequins and now I'm really loooovving it! I think it would be perfect for a Christmas Party or even New Year's Eve :).

Musical Friday #74

Hello everyone! How was your week?

Nothing new over here other then "that moment when" the cosmetics brands Barry M and Collection (2000) followed me on Twitter ssaayyy uuwwhhhaattt? XD Crazy Bananas. Oh plus a Portuguese DJ that is living in Holland but that was on Tumblr, wicked.

Is starting to get really cold - no sh*t Karen - specially at night and you know what's bad? I don't have much winter clothes with me :/. Why? Because I left most of my winter clothe in London hoping that by now I would be there already rsrsrsrs. Oh well maybe early next year I can finally go. At least I have loads of winter jackets over here so is not all terrible.

Tomorrow I will meet up with some of my friends and eat some stuff... 'cause that's what I do when I get together with my friends we eat HAHA.

Haul | Summer Shopping

Yeah you read it right, "Summer Shopping" this post is very delayed one of the reasons why it's because the photos were all over the place. Since my Laptop died I have photos on my old home computer, my personal external drive and another drive that my cousins lent me because I just had to much stuff on my laptop. And since I can be a bit lazy at times (hey I'm human) I wasn't in the mood to search all of the photos in the endless folders that I have nevertheless here is the post here are things that I bought.

Funny enough I didn't buy ANY clothes for myself this Summer, wow Karen wow. Oh I also made a video but it's in Portuguese.

Dream House #7

Hello everyone. If I could build/design my dream house I would make an area big enough so that I could received my friends and family, so that we don't have to sit in the living room or in the kitchen, at least that's what ends up happening with my family.

E.L.F. swatches: Mango Madness

EN: Hello everyone. Today's post is about another nail polish swatch/review, I haven´t done these in a big while. And I think for the first time I'm doing a review of a Eyes Lips Face product.

I already talked about this - you can see the post about it here - but a few moths ago while I was in London I decided buy some products of E.L.F. and overall I'm satisfied.

But today I will just focus on this nail polish, called Mango Madness.

PT: Olá a todos. O post de hoje vai ser sobre um verniz, já não faço disto à um bom tempo. Acho que pela primeira vez irei mostrar (melhor) um produto da Eyes Lips Face,

Eu já tinha falado sobre isto um pouco - podem ver o post sobre o assunto aqui - mas alguns meses atrás quando ainda estava em Londres eu decidi comprar algumas produtos da E.L.F. e de uma forma geral estou satisfeita.

Mas hoje irei só focar-me neste verniz chamado Mango Madness.

Musical Friday #73

Hello everyone. So what do you know, it's November! Wow.

Before November came along, on the 31st of October has you know it was Halloween and like I mentioned before, I went to Akuma Kanji's house and helped prepare the food and her boyfriend carved a pumpkin for me :D, put some makeup on, dressed in dark clothes and we ate... a lot >.< and we watch some movies.

Other than that nothing new, still waiting or MY FREAKING PACKAGE FROM PÓ DE ARROZ -_- [to know what am I talking about please read here] and now I have to do a bloody Power Point presentation for an Oral presentation that I have to do because of the internship that I've done while I was in London early this year *sigh*...

Oh funny thing happened last week, so basically there is an American Youtuber named Tyler Oakley and he did one of those live chats on the Internet, blah blah blah, then Tyler and his friend saw a Tweet from Lindsay Lohan talking about the Hurricane Sandy and they guys told us to tweet Lindsay to join the chat, so probably she got hundreds of Tweets about it and she did end up joining us! Well sort of, so she would be watching the Live chat like the rest of us and the boys asked her questions and Lindsay replied by Tweeting on Twitter. This went on for almost 2 hours I think, Lindsay even followed the boys on Twitter it was so cool! Oh and we ended up trending on Twitter #Hurricane Sassy! haha For more info check out these two videos, this one is from E!News and if you notice the Top comment it's mine and also there is this one from WhatTheBuckShow.

Enjoy the music.
