Cupcakes!

A few weeks ago me and my friend where studying and we baked the best cupcakes I have ever tasted! And they looked sooo pretty to! 

Here is the recipe:

1 cup margarine

1 cup powdered sugar

1 1/2 cup flower

4 tablespoons cocoa powder

2 teaspoons baking powder

4 eggs

1/2 cup medium dark chocolate (ad extra if you are a chocoholic like me)

How to:

You preheat the oven in 170 degrees celsius. The recipe is for 18 cupcakes so find 18 cupcake-forms.

Mix together the eggs and powder sugar until the stirring is light. Then mix together all of the other ingredients but leave the best for the last (the chocolate)Mix it together until the dough is soft and then put the chocolate in. Then just put the dough in the forms and pop it in the oven for 17-20 minutes. The let them cool for a while before you attack them the way I did :) 

Cream:

1 cup powdered sugar

1/2 tablespoon cocoa powder

1/2 cup butter

Mix together and wolla!

Enjoy!  :)

Faith is...

A few years ago I discovered how fun it is to paint and I have been doing that ever since. I guess i was 8 years old when i first started for real and now I am 15 years old and I think i have made some progress going from trying to draw the painting on the canvas with crayons thinking it was a brilliant idea, to where i am now. This is something that I do for my self and for the joy of it, it´s so relaxing and let´s my mind run free for a change. 

Here are some pictures of my newest painting that I painted for my big sister as a housewarming gift :)

It has an deeper meaning for me and my family because afterwards we discovered that the birds describe the characters of every single one of my mom´s siblings so it was kinda like a family tree for her. And I simply adore the quote on the painting and really think it gives it the final touch.

(I know there are cupcakes on the pictures but they had just come out of the oven and simply looked so good i could´t resist including them on the pictures)

I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!

Shoe love = Kronkron

I am certain that i am not the only one that loves kronkron. First of all it´s a shoe store and that´s a weak spot in my case. And the shoes are all so unique, colorful and everything is flowing with bows leather an other girly stuff! The second i laid eyes on one pair in the window at the shop I have been in love and never stopped. It is almost like the shoes get prettier and prettier every year! They are so hard to resist and to top it off the store also sells purses, bags, clothes and jewelry and more that makes it even harder to decide what you want the most... But hey is that not what fashion is about not being able to decide what you want to wear because there are so many options it makes you dizzy? on second thought that is the thing that makes fashion fun!

Here are four little pieces of heaven.

"A garden dream"

I just discovered an amazing online store called Ruche. I just love their clothes because they have an unique vintage touch. And I basically fell flat on my face when i saw all of their beautiful accessories, they are all so one of kind and have all kinds of lovely roses on them and creative shapes. I am a bling lover but despite of that every girl should find something that she likes in that store. I also like that they have an online magazine for all of their clothes collections and my favorite one was "a garden dream". I highly recommend that store and here are some examples from the garden dream collection.

Hello my name is...

Hi
My name is Maria and i am starting this blog because i LOVE shopping eating and traveling and i want to share my thoughts with you :).
I´m 15 years old and live in Iceland, i am in 9th grade train gymnastics and play the flute so i really never get bored ! :D (but summer vacation is just around the corner!)
I am a hopeless ravioli lover and have a weak spot for clothes, shoes and accessories. And my favorite thing in the whole world is to travel. In fact i am going to Italy in just 15 days with my gymnastic team (I train group gymnastics) and we are staying there for a week training our asses off! and also having fun on the beach and shopping!
I am going to try to write as many times i can and stick to it! because diary writing and stuff like that have never really been my thing.
I hope this blog will work out and you will like it! :)
