It's moving on!!!!!!

...yeah, that's right, it's time for some action!
Last week we packed for the Geneva tattoo convention, and my friend Frank and I moved the entire shop in the back of the studio to get the walls empty for paint.
That's right, we are finally getting over the flood of November!
The convention was great, it was fun to see so many happy faces saying hello at our booth!
I was very busy all weekend, so I didn't have much time to talk unfortunately.
On Sunday, I managed to finish a big chest tattoo on Estelle, and she kindly accepted to propose for the tattoo contest.
... And we won!!! 1rst place in color category, and 2nd place old school category!!!

I am really proud about this :)


Recently, I had a kick of inspiration so I started to paint. I've been painting several times a week, whenever I can, for the last 4 weeks... So I will also drop a few pictures of that here.

Finally, I was mentioning the shop... Well there is one picture I will show today, the horrific vision of all the decoration stashed in two small rooms!

I will repost soon, for more info about the renovations :)
See you soon and remember, we will reopen on Tuesday 12th of February!

Bom dia!!!

Favorite Knotted and Twisted Updo Tutorials

Images via pinterest

I often wear my hair in easy on-the-go buns (as I like to call them) and I always like to try new things to add just that little something of extra to an otherwise very ordinary thing. The knotted and Twisted bun and updo's give that bit of posh and glam to an otherwise easy hair-day and it's so easy to do with help of some bobby-pins! So alas, my favorite tutorials for when it comes to twisting and turning ;)

1) Twisted Side Bun

You will need to translate the blog to read the full tutorial, but it is so worth it! I just love how the bun is low on the side!

2) Low Twisted Bun

The low bun is just gorgeous and would make such a beautiful Winter look with snuggly jumpers!

3) Infinity Twist

This updo is not as difficult as it seems, I just adore the ethereal twisting!

4) Fishtail Bun

The twisted fishtail braid makes for such a great low bun and I love the volume!

A beautifully sophisticated updo made for classic looks such as the LBD and winged eyes!

Finally

Jumping a little bit late on the band wagon but better late then never. I bought these at the Zara the other day and perfection isn't even the right word. Shoe porn is! I was missing a classic pair of black heels and finally finally found the perfect pair! Still, its snowing so unless I want to break my neck i will have to wait wearing them.

Be Not Moved

My schedule the past year-ish has been busy speaking at least twice a week to the youth. I absolutely loved last year’s theme, Arise & Shine Forth! But I have to express the excitement I have to base my talks on this year’s Youth theme, Stand Ye In Holy Places, and Be Not Moved. Going from Arise, to Stand! 

I can't help but think of all that has happened since joining the church. There's not a post on my blog of what I had been through since baptism, but if you have been to one of my Firesides you'll know that most of the stories I share are those difficulties that followed after. I do that for a reason. My message is not & will never be, that with the gospel your life will be perfect. Immune to trials.  It is a message of continuing.  A message of overcoming. Of faith. Endurance. Taking confidence in Heavenly Father's promises. 

I was not looking for the church. The church found me, and all I did was just follow happiness. That happiness led me to baptism. Which then led to loss of friends. Family. I recall perfectly my best friend, my Dad, telling me he didn't want to talk to me anymore. He made me pick. This church, something I had just barely found out about weeks ago, or Him.  And I thought… what an easy decision, for a difficult situation. I already choose who I wanted to follow, didn't I? That's what happens when you get baptized. I already recognized that this happiness, one that I didn't even know existed, a real & lasting happiness, only came from the Gospel. So I decided, right then and there, I didn't need time to think about it.

Since then, I have been through trials that had made me feel completely alone. I have been prompted to do things that I didn't understand. Things that were incredibly difficult. Since then, I have been through things that made me feel like I didn't fit in. Times were I felt as though my prayers were not being heard. Times were I felt like my strength ran thin & I didn't know how much more I could take.

And each time I was shown that I could keep going and do so with strength & guidance because of this Gospel. Because of Christ. Heavenly Father. Each and every single time I was shown that even in the hardest of trials, I could be consumed with peace & this physical love that He has for me. 

During my devotionals, I speak on thosetimes because you need to know that,that happiness, through everything, has only gotten stronger! 

Each time I have been blessed with something better then what I had in mind. Each time over coming something I never thought I could. Each time learning much. Growing. Becoming better.

My joy is not just full, but overfilling! OH how great is our God! How great is what He has in store for us! How great are our blessings & happiness when we turn to Him and simply try.I am overwhelmed with how great and how very true & real Heavenly Father’s promises are. When things are hard or not going as I had planned, it becomes fun to see how they will work out, because they always will & it will alwaysbe better when we turn to Him. When we keep going. When we hold tight to what we are taught.

How grateful I am to be a member of this church, for what we are a part of and what is asked of us! Making covenants open the gates to an outpouring of blessings in our life & should never be viewed – in any degree- in a negative way. They should not be approached apprehensively, but rather soughtafter & embraced with excitement to partake more fully & receive the best ever created & prepared for us- not just in the eternities, but here- daily- in mortality.

How grateful I am for all the times I made the decision to choose the Gospel. All the times I made the decision to stay with its teachings- commandments- covenants.  The decision to trust. The decision to stand.  How grateful I am I made the decision to choose God. His plan. His ways.

How grateful I am for Heavenly Father’s promises. For the Temple. For covenants. Commandments. For this gospel.  I find myself overwhelmed with the direction my life has taken. How grateful I am with all the talents & opportunities that I have been given.  For receiving more than I am able to bear- in abundance- when I still have an immeasurable amount of room for growth & improvement, complimented with my imperfections & shortcomings. How grateful I am for this love that He has for us that I do not fully understand. OH how great is our God! 

Do not do anything that will stop you from receiving more fully the best ever created. Fear not. Forget not who’s hands you’re in. Choose. Keep going. Overcome. Grow. Embrace. Receive. Stand. And be not moved.

OUTFIT: Gold Brocade

photos taken by Fashion is a Party

It is and was so cold that there was simply no way I would wear these trousers without tights! I'm sure the look would have been a bit more refined without the tights and with my new Zara pointy pumps but.. too cold! Really to cold! I'm wearing a million layers under the jumper as well, there was just no way I would have been smiling without the tights! Even leggings wouldn't have done the trick. The worst thing about wearing tights under trousers is the static (and thus the pants "glueing" to the tights at the most horrible places) The H&M Trend angora jumper was on sale and the only size left was a size 10 hence the oversized-ness, even though the jumper was way to big I tried it on anyway and really liked it being oversized!

Wearing: H&M trend angora jumper, H&M Trend asymmetrical shirt, TopShop gold brocade trousers, tights, Zara heels

Thank you Suz for taking the photos :)
