Hello! You know what I am utterly choked! I really am. Well well this is your future now America, just make sure he doesn't hurt the rest of us. Actually, TV4's Marcus Oscarsson said a couple of days ago that he believed that if Trump would get elected that he would actually step up and calm down. That everything Trump has up and til now has just been for show. Let's just hope that he does a good job and not ruin the country. I mean 'cause I really want to move back there some day. I mean Trump is now the president of the United States and that's something that we cannot escape. I just hope that he can learn to include everyone and provide an amazing future. I really hope that he steps up. He has to. your writer, Erika

OMG! I was gonna blog then I just kind of forgot about the time! OMG! Good thing that I remembered. LOL. I have been really bad lately. I mean at posting anything here. But I mean I do have excuses. I just have been a lot more busy lately. School. I sat until like past 11 PM last night editing a freaking paragraph! I better get a good grade in this course. I am not, or I haven't been in the past, the kind of person who stays up late and does homework. Especially on a Friday night! When I lived in the US Fridays were my homework free days. I mean just because I had some much school work deal with that I just needed a day off from all of that. And I choose Fridays. Aaaah! I miss the US. Simpler times, and also not simler times. LOL, depends on how you look at it. your writer, Erika

Waddup people! How are you all? I am good, thank you. WTF, it's past 11 PM and I am still up. LOL. Okay that is quite common when it comes to my life, but I am just like. I mean like around 11 PM last night I was like "I am done with this shit!" and I went to bed. Like, me? Bed? 11 PM? That's three things that don't occurs simultaneously that often. Well well, there is always a time to try new things. Talking about bed times… I remember like when I lived in SB or even just throwing it back to last summer when I went to bed at like 12 AM, at latest. 'Cause anything later than that was like devil time to dance (whatever that means). No, but I just thought that anything after 12 AM was freakishly late to be up and awake at, and like for some reason it gave me anxiety if I went to bed later than that. Well, well. Now I can stay up until like 1 AM. Anything between 12 AM and 1 AM is pretty normal for me. Well, I did stay up until like 4 in the morning for 1D Day ...

Hi guys! How are you? So like this morning I saw this post in Swedish Directioners where a girl asked about advice on what to wear for her homecoming dance (she lives in the US, we don't have homecoming in Sweden - too bad because it seems really fun) so I commented a link to Sherri Hill which has crazy beautiful dresses for prom and homecoming or for just whenever you want to dress in insanely beautiful dress. LOL. Hahahaha. Anyway that got me think that I should do a Fashion Friday post on homecoming dresses. Just post pictures of my faves. LOL. So I will do that. All the dresses that I have chosen are from Sherri Hill. I chose six because I couldn't narrow it down to just five. They're all so freaking beautiful. I hope that you like my picks. Which one is your fave? If you have any tips on where to get a beautiful homecoming dress feel free to comment or tweet me (I'll RT you) at @erikaworld .

Hi guys! Waddup lads and lasses? LOL, trying out my new British accent in writing (huh?!). Hahaha. Nah, but I am FOR REAL this time going to try and learn a British accent. I tried a little bit earlier and, woah that stuff is hard. Like really hard. Like I feel like I have to change the way I am thinking when I speak english. I don't want to "exchange" the accent that I do have (which is kind of more American I guess) for a British accent. I just want to learn how to speak in a British accent. I want to do it justice too. I probably should work on my so called "American" accent as well. British, first and then the American accent. I mean that seems more logical since I master (oh yeah right) the American accent better than the British accent. If you have any tips for me, please do share! I need all of the help that I can get. (OMG! I am so going to watch the One Direction films, and just learn all my British - with a slight Irish tone to it - from the five boys)...

Hi guys! How are you! I am good. LOL, I should really start this now and stop getting distracted by Hunter Hayes, facebook, the TV among other things. Plus I am starting to feel a little sleepy. It might have something to do with the fact that I have not had any coffee today (Yeah, a shocker since I am such a coffee lover! LOL, hahahaha!). We don't have any coffee, but mom said that she would buy some tomorrow so it's all good. Eh, we have tea so I am not completely, idk but we have tea. Hahaha. OMG so my mom made home made french fries for dinner tonight. Really delicious and a way more luxurious than store bought frozen french fries. They were really good! Sometimes there is really nothing better than your mother cooking. Seriously when I was away in the US, sometimes all I wanted was to go home and just eat my mothers cooking. Partly because I was so physically and emotionally tired from school and the whole thing of moving across the world. your writer, Erika

Hi guys! Another blog as promised! How are you? What has changed since last time. LOL. Did you watch the video that I posted of Ella Henderson's performance of Ghost ? Isn't she just amazing! Voice of a Goddess! DAYUM! LOL, she's talented though you have to admit that even if you like the song or not. LOL. I did my nails today. It has been a while since last. I used to do my nails all the time before, and then I started working at McDonalds where I isn't allowed to have nail polish. Boooo. Hahaha. Anyway, I just wanted to do something now because you now it's summer and all that. So I wanted something summer fresh and fun. Okay I wanted all white nails but I am not sure that there is enough nail polish in the bottle so, yeah. Hahaha. I need to buy some new. Nail polish is so expensive in this country. Most things are expensive in this country, though. Like before I moved to the United States when I was 19 I never used to paint my nails because you know, too damn...

Hi guys! So just a little quick post again. I mean I start work at 1 PM and don't get off until 9 PM so I am doing this now. Plus I have a few things to do before work. Well, I need to go shopping. I need a new face mask and pore strips. Pore strips are amazing. LOL. There is also this peel off face mask that kind of works like a pore strip for your whole face. I have tried it a before. It's kind of fun when you have peel off the whole face mask in one piece. Looks kind of creepy, but it's cool. LOL. I mostly use this active purifying face mask from Nivea. I mostly use Nivea. I use Nivea's pore strips. Those are the only good ones. Well, at least in Sweden anyway. When I lived in the US I used some other brand just because I couldn't find Nivea. I don't remember the name though. I think it was Bioré, not 100% sure. your writer, Erika

Hi. Hola mi amigos. ¿Como estas? Is that correct Spanish? Anyway I feel like a boss because I just figured out how to do a up and down question mark. Hollar at ya girl! Hahaha. Nah, but I thought that I would do a fashion inspiration, fashion icon (or whatever you like to call it) post today. I am a really big fan of Rachel Bilson fashion style. I mean she always look amazing. What kind of inspired me to do this was because right before Hart of Dixie  tonight the presenter said that Rachel has a very good fashion sense and likes to call herself a fashion junkie and could probably spend hours at Gekås. That, in my opinion was an insult to fashion. Gekås is a department store where everything is super cheap and there is a reality show about that Gekås called Ullared . I mean the presenter only said that to mention that Ullared is on Kanal9 (a sister channel to Kanal5, which Hart of Dixie air on in Sweden), but still that was a very big insult to fashion. No, jut uh oh no. I mean it w...

I am thinking about doing beauty post this week. Yeah, like so either tomorrow or on Sunday. We'll see. If I do one what would you like to see, I mean what do you want me to blog about? Hehehe. Anyways what are you all doing? I am listening to Cher Lloyd. I love her music! I remember the day that Oath got released in the US, I mean when it was uploaded on her soundcloud (or maybe it just leaked because it was before the release date) I drugged that song so much. Like I couldn't get enough of it. Too bad it has never been release in Sweden. I mean like an official release so that I can buy it on iTunes. Like c'mon please she has Swedish Bratz too you know! Hahaha, no but she's pretty fabulous. What are you all doing the weekend? I have no plans. That feels weird to say. I mean there are two fan meet ups this weekend. Feels a little bit weird both that I am not going to either but that their are both a Belieber fan meet and a Dierctioner fan meet. At the same place, at ...

Okay so you know that I talk a lot about my fellow Swedish Beliebers aka SB. Yeah, so I thought that it was time to introduce you guys to one of them. Her name is Klara Sunneborn. Check out her blog  http://klarasunneborn.blogg.se , which is kind of like mine except from that it's all in swedish (buy you know there is this thing called google translate), and that she doesn't write as long posts as I do at times. Hahahaha. Like the one yesterday, that one was really long. No but really though check out her blog it's really cool! What are you all excited about in 2014? I am really looking forward to (these are the things that I can think of from the top of my head) the Miley Cyrus concert in May and of course WWAT. I can't really think of anything else at the moment. Oooops, IDK it that is good or not (you tell me). I guess turning 21 but that doesn't really mean anything in this country. I mean as it doesn't have the same significance in Sweden as in the USA. I...

Yo! I made my very own almond paste for the first time today! It was really easy. I also made nutella but I have made that before. I am going to make a Christmas candy called "Mozart kulor" tomorrow so I just wanted to try to make my own almond paste just to see how easy it was and to learn how to do it. The most annoying thing was to peel off the peel on the almonds. I mean to took a few minutes. It was just boring. Oh my God you guys! Like I am so freaking bored right now! I mean seriously I could go to bed to just because I am bored. My boredom has led me to looking through pictures from Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. I don't now but for some reason I had a thing where I always took selfies of myself in the mirrors in the WC at the movies. For some reason the WC was always, well often anyway, empty so I just snapped some pictures. Hahaha. I am looking at all of my selfies from SB and IDK they are awesome, I mean hmmm I don't know how to say this in english (it so...

So I was thinking earlier about what I wrote yesterday and surely I can suck it up for one semester because so that I can go and see One Direction. Hmm or maybe I should just try New York. Mohahaha! I don't know, NYC seems like a lovely city. Seems, since I don't know. Hmmmm. I just did my nails. Well, I did them started this post, "spaced out" (aka got distracted by something else). Anyway, what I wanted to say is is that I do not like the result so tomorrow night I will redo them. I have to buy new nail polish remover tomorrow 'cause I don't like the one that I do have. Why can't they have CVS in Sweden or at least sell CVS's own brand here? Hmmm. I used their nail polish remover when I lived in SB and I liked it. Hahaha, the one that I have now is some cheap brand that I bought at Inn och Finn (like the 99 cent store, it's cheap but not just 99 cent cheap, lets just say that it cheaper, okay). Never buying that again, I can tell you that. Hmm,...

That's it! Fuck it's cold! September 3rd and I am feeling like I am going to freeze to death! No joke! Fall weather is so fucking unpredictable! Like this morning it was pleasant, well it was not to cold anyway. This afternoon it was hot. Like it was to hot with pants, so I would have had said yes to a dress. Hahaha. Now, at around 11 PM I am freezing to death. OMG! it shouldn't be like this. NO! NO way! Like I am sitting here in my UCLA sweat pants and my 1D hoddie, plus I am wearing three pairs of socks. My feet are always cold so that's really not an excuse, but the problem is that I am cold. Freezing to death cold! Aaaaah! I almost can't take this anymore. I have been thinking weather I should go back to school or just whatever I should do. Like it's hard! I do and I don't but I also think that education is important. But it's like I don't want to go to school in Sweden because there aren't any fun schools, or I mean any schools that offer ...

Do you know what today is? Exactly one year ago to the date I set off on a four month (and four days) long journey which involved college in the US. One year! Fuck! I mean it has been on year! One year ago (um, this post might be dated August 10th 2013, so just to clarify I moved to California August 9th 2012 - it probably will be dated the 10th since I usually blog around midnight) I moved to freaking California in the freaking United States of America! I mean it's so hard to imagine it even though it has happened! I mean I lived a life long dream of mine. There is no better feeling the living your dreams! Even though I had some rough times (and believe me I had) I am so thankful for the opportunity because otherwise I would just be sitting here and thinking "Why?", "What if?" etc. You know? I am so thankful for everything. I have so many other dreams that I want to achieve! I just have to be more driven. I know, or I mean what's stopping me from my other...

Watching Keeping Up With The Kardashians is not good! I miss Cali. LOL, but when I am in Cali I miss Europe. Hmm. Maybe I should move to London. Australia? LOL, that's even further away. Whatevs! I am not going to school next semester. What I'll be doing I haven't quite figured out. YOLO. Work I guess but I mean other than that. No, I don't know. All know it's summer now and I am going to try to enjoy my time the best way I can. I am also going to try not to over think the little things that upsets me, which is alot easier said than done. 'Cause I tend to do that alot. Hmmm. I feel so free! I mean no school, like what the heck am I going to do. Have fun! I want to go the beach but the beach here is not the same as in Cali. Gosh I miss. It's a different way there. Things are just different. Hmm. Maybe someday (obviously) I'll go back there. I need to. I'll buy a house in Malibu, Venice, Santa Monica or something. I don't know. Maybe in The Hills...

I tend to blog late at night, you know the end of the day. I don't know why it just happens. LOL. I mean, yeah, you know ( I don't even know). No, it's better to sum up the day at the end of the day instead at four in the afternoon when you come home from school. In like eight grade or so, I used to plan, while I was at school, what I was going to blog about when I came home. Bored I guess. Hahaha. Tomorrow I don't start school until 10:30 AM! So nice because I get to sleep until 7:30, I mean yeah because when I lived in the US I had to get up at 5:30. That's too early. Well, now I have to get ready for tomorrow so until then, yeah sleep tight and have a fun night. your writer, Erika

Woop, woop! What's up? Hahaha. Easter Sunday, what did you guys do? How did you celebrate it? I celebrated Easter yesterday with mom. In Sweden people celebrate Easter on Saturday. Anyway since I celebrated it yesterday with my mom. There were no typical easter celebration today. I had lunch with my mom in Sollentuna Centrum. We went there because my mom wanted to buy a birthday present for her friends son who turns one today. Happy birthday Zacharias, cutie pie! Also I wanted to buy a new screen protector for my phone. I got this copter screen protector that is (according to the box) created by the U.S Army. I don't care about that, what I care about is that it protects the screen on my iPhone. It also says on the box that it has a lifetime warranty. Copter ™ Screenprotector you'll be hearing from me if my phone gets damaged. Anyway, I can't use my phone for 12 hours because the screen protector has to dry. You can dry it with a blowdryer but I don't want to overhe...

I am sorry that I haven't blogged for a few days. I am just exhausted out of boredom when I come home from school. No I am just bored from school, too bored to really do anything. Ah, I was such a better student in the US. Here, well I show up. Yes I do read what we are supposed to read but in the US I read more carefully because we always had a quiz the class. The teacher just wanted to make sure that we had read what we were supposed to read. The scores that we got on the test then counted towards our final grade in that class. So that motivated you more to actually do the reading. But just because I did the reading didn't mean that I got every single question right. We also had bonus questions that counted as an extra credit. So, yeah. I have a little break from school. Next time there is something on the schedule is next Thursday. Yeah, and that's the only class that I have next week. Huh?! Like so weird! I know right! Yeah, yeah whatever. Hahaha, I am so annoyed (abo...
