Hey!
It's been a while, right!? Quite frankly, I haven't felt like posting anything here.. at all. But recently I've been thinking a lot about taking up blogging again. Or at least whenever I feel like.
So.. it's been almost 3 months since I moved to Japan. It's been going quite well so far. Although it's been a huge adjustment of my life.
At some periods it has made me feel really stressed. Moving abroad is scary. It's not that I'm not enjoying life in Japan. More like stepping out of my comfort zone. I guess this is pretty normal for people who move abroad.
I don't really have any safety net here. No friends. No family. No income. All I actually have is my husband. I feel greatly supported by him. And he always tries to understand how I feel (sometimes it's rather easy for him to understand, since he was an exchange student in Sweden for a year.) But from time, to time, I guess he has a harder time to understand what I'm going through.
Anyways, most of the time I enjoy living here. Everything is so different. Kind of exciting. Shizuoka isn't bad at all. It's so calm here. I like calm. Although I do think that Tokyo is a fantastic city. But it is way too lively, way too stressful. So for me, visiting Tokyo every now and then is totally fine. It does get a tad bit boring here from time to time. But that's alright :)
Hope all of you've had a wonderful summer.
Amanda

Hey!!
How are you doing?
Recently, I've been busy as usual. And when I'm not busy, I'm not doing anything special. So therefor, I find it a bit hard to post anything here. I've only got boring things to say anyway. Lol.
I'll try to review/recommend products a bit more often. So please wait a bit :) Have a lot of products in home anyway.
My sweetie submitted the COE a couple of days ago. So now we're just waiting for it to be processed. After that I can finally apply for the visa. Apparently there weren't a lot of people at the immigration office. Luckily. Which should mean that the COE won't take long time to process. Hopefully it will be done before the high season of applying for visa here in Sweden. I think it starts from mid/end of june, or july. Which often results in visa process taking longer time.

Anyway, we are hoping for me to move to Japan, in the end of june. I'd love to see some friends before that. But right now, I don't have any money at all. Ughh.. Which results in me not having a life. Haha. It's sad but true. Train tickets cost much. And of course meeting friends also means spending money. Money that I do not posses. Boo..
Birthday coming up on 22nd. Turning 22. Funny.
I was planning to throw some kind of farewell/birthday party. But cancelled it. The reason is simply because I don't have money. But also because I don't want to take care of everyone else, or not being able to relax at my own birthday party.
Usually, I'll try my best to make an effort for other ppls birthdays'. Buy/make birthday gifts, cakes, cards. But most of the time I won't get anything back. Have to make the cake myself, or get no cake. Get no gifts, or even a simple card. So I give up. Why bother?

Well.. I do feel like I'm getting older. Don't know if it is a good, or bad thing. But as they say, you get wiser as you age :) I hope so.

Introduction
So, this is my first post. And what could be better than starting off with an introduction? My blog is still under construction so please be patient about it's appearance
(^-^;)。。。
For the short story, just read under "about me"
Well anyway, my name is Amanda, 20 years old, soon to be 21 (in less than a month.) I live in Sweden, but spend quite much of my time in Japan where I visit my boyfriend. My boyfriend is Japanese and I met him in the autumn of 2011 during his one year as an exchange student in Stockholm. Having a long-distance relationship is quite tough but I keep my optimism. I am studying ATM via distance courses, therefor I have the opportunity to travel much . But as soon as I've graduated I'll move to Japan to attend language school.. which will be awesome I'm sure.
I am in love with food ♡ to cook and eat many delicious things.. it's heaven! And what I love about good food is that it gathers people. I'm not afraid to try out new food, even if it is something people in let's say for example Sweden wouldn't normally try. In my opinion trying food is an experience, it could be both good or bad. I do love baking as well.. however recently I haven't done it much since the stove I have right now is very bad.
Fashion and beauty is something else I enjoy much. However when being a poor student, it can be hard to manage the money. I'm sure some of you can agree with me (^o^). Recently I started trying out natural products instead of expensive beauty products.. and surprisingly enough it works better than I expected. Actually, in my opinion it has worked better than any matching beauty products. So perhaps I'll give you some recommendations every now and then.
I guess this introduction is enough for now. If you would have any question feel free to ask me ^-^ And thank you for taking your time to read this.
Until next time.
