We are two norwegian girls with a big passion for life. We love fashion, beautystuff, traveling, food and discovering new people and cultures :3 This blog is basically gonna be a happy blog, where you can read to get encouraged, inspired and hopefully learn new things ^.^
Do not hesitate to comment, follow, and tell us what you want to read about! Our goal is that after one visit on Sakura Kiss, you will feel better and want to visit again!
Remember me? It's been some time since my last post. I'm home from Sweden, and I can finally enjoy the Easter holiday. I've been taking everything nice and slow, and relaxed. Well, except from Gulli's birthday party last night, but that's another story.
Just because I haven't been blogging, it doesn't mean that I forgot about you. I've been doing some technical updates, as you can see in our new header.
We also have a facebook page up and running now, go like it now!
Our goal is to fetch more readers this way, and have a closer contact with all of you :3 It's also easier to update you when we're too busy to blog! We think facebook is a great way to stay in touch with you, so don't hesitate to take contact there. All will be answered ^^
The day after I returned from Sweden, I got a lovely surprise! Almost everything I've ordered arrived that day. I feel a bit sorry for the mail man who had to see me in work out clothes with messy hair and facial mask, but hello, who looks good at 10 am in the first day of vacation?
I got my package from Milanoo fashion as well as the NU'EST album. (Happy fangirl right here!)
I even got NU'EST pins, haha. Time to really show off my fangirling.
DVD <3
It was the special edition, so I got a 200 page photobook too! \^.^/
I figured out that it's pretty hard to take photos of photos. But you see the content.
I got more than this, but you'll get to see it over time.
Now I'll enjoy the rest of the evening, and I hope you'll do too ^^
Today I'm in a quite good mood, even though I have to do school work during the weekend, and the fact that it's a blizzard outside. (Norway <3)
Today I've ordered my favorite band NU'EST's new album "Hello" (special edition), and I'm also about to order some spring fashion from Milanoo. I've learned that when the present is unpleasant, you can always look ahead to a better future, or simply escape reality for a while.
At least that's what I do, although I'm teaching myself to face challenges head-on instead of pretending they don't exist. That's why I've forced myself to be above average interested in Henrik Ibsen and Norway in the 1800's, as well as Scientology. I have to present both on Monday.
Luckily I'm a rather easy going person, so I always convince myself that "it will work out somehow".
They're oral presentations too, so I can do what I do best: talk my way out of it.
Anyway, as I mentioned NU'EST are out with a new mini-album, and B.A.P are too. It's funny how my two favorite bands always are releasing new stuff at the same time, so I suddenly have a bunch of new songs to listen to. Just one new song from one of them is enough to make my day, and today I downloaded seven! That may explain my bright mood. I'm also looking forward to spending this evening with our theater group, as I really need a break from Mr. Ibsen.
We're not having a practice, we're just gonna make taco and and have a good time ^^
I haven't decided what to order from Milanoo yet, but I'll post it on the blog later. Maybe I can convince my mother to some shoes as well? All my shoes from last summer are worn out >.<
So, now I'll go order, but before I leave I have to (of course) post some new music:
Today is such a lovely day! We're finally getting into that part of winter that I really like. We still have snow, but we have the sun too. The days are getting brighter, and I was so surprised last morning when I woke up with sunshine in my face. (What bright light is this?)
The temperatures have gone a little up, so now I can walk my dog without freezing inside my big, black parkas. And since I'm not freezing I can walk a little slower and take a look at what's around me too ^^
The only down in the ice on the roads... It's a miracle I haven't fallen yet.
This is me today. I'm wearing my beloved light pink knitted sweater ^^ It has been a close friend throughout the winter. So far this has been a rather laid back day, but I'm meeting Gulli and some others in town later and apparently we had a bunch of stuff to do.
Now that we have entered the better winter time, I was delighted to see that the online fashion store Milanoo is having a little give-away. It is a super cute winter coat, and it's perfect for this time of year between winter and spring when I need a winter coat light.
They are still hosting the give-away on Facebook, the more people that joins, the more winners: Cute winter coat give-away
It looks so soft and warm and cozy and cuddly :3
Something else that brightened my first days of winter vacation was the new NU'EST song "Hello".
It was released 13th of February, and I've been listening to it non-stop ever since.
There are many reasons to why I'm a huge fan of them, but one of the main reasons is that when I normally listen to a song, I love it in the beginning, but then I grow tired of it. When it comes to NU'EST songs, I love them the more I listen to them! I still listen to their debut song "Face" everyday, event though it was released a year ago!
This is one of their saddest song so far, but it's so gentle and sweet, and it's the perfect soundtrack for a walk in snow and sunshine.
Can't get enough of it >.<
Remember to watch in HD with English subtitles on, the lyrics are amazing!
A little update from me before I continue the day, hope you all are having a good time too ^^
Right now I'm typing carefully while I'm waiting for my nail polish to dry. Due to my laziness my nails have been "au nautral" for a while, and since they started to look ugly I decided to cover them up in deep, shiny Aruba Blue :3 It's a shame that I can't be more careful with my nails, once they've gotten long and pretty, I stop protecting them with basecoat and they all break. It's something very elegant and feminine over long nails. I don't like them super long, but just that little tip that makes the fingers look longer and slimmer.
Haha, but really, this post wasn't supposed to be about nails, anyway!
I have something to confess to you guys. I'm not an experienced blogger, and there are many times I don't have a clue of what to write about, and end up on something random. It's a bit frustrating too, cause' I really want to write about something interesting and helpful to my readers.
I also try to blog everyday. Sakura Kiss is still in a beginner phase, so I find it important to maintain a high activity on the blog, and try to fetch new readers ^.^
Lately our page views have been greatly increasing, so I have a good feeling that we will reach our goal together!
You might wonder why I became a blogger in the first pace?
Well, I've always been a girl with a lots of thoughts and opinions on everything, and it's nice to have a place to share it. I'm very fond of languages, different people and cultures, and the world in general, and that's why I love having an international blog! To get the opportunity to write for people all over the world feels amazing, and I get this tingling feeling whenever I see all the different countries our readers are from :3
I get my inspiration from all types of things, and as you may noticed my posts are quite different from each other too. It goes from Lolita fashion to bad days and personal thoughts and dreams.
I'm not sure what you prefer to read about. Maybe I should continue with a lot of different stuff like before to give you variation? Sakura Kiss was made to be a lifestyle blog after all, so I'll write anything that I think will brighten your day or encourage you. ^^
Hopefully my posts haven't been that bad, and I hope that anyone who have a wish or idea for this blog doesn't hesitate to tell! We'd love to hear from you, even if it's critique :D

As for today, my mood has been on top all day! That's because my favorite band Nu'est released the date for their comeback this morning! ^^ 13th of February is already marked off in the calendar with a big heart :3 They haven't released new songs for over a half year now, so I'm aching to hear something new from them.
It's so nice to have the thought spinning in my back head all the time, that I don't think it's possible for me to have a bad day until the song is released! :D
I'll add the music video from their debut song "Face", which happens to be the most played song on my iPod. Watch it in HD!
