Nearly February?!

Dear me, already the end of january!

So far, apart from the crappy job, life has been sweet. Met a few interesting people, had a couple of flings, very enjoyable ones too. Can you believe my luck? Shit sex for months and in less than 3 weeks, I met two very, very sexy guys. Perfectly chiseled bodies and know how to make a girl say «Ooooh la laaaa »

Found some excellent deals during the sales. Bought way to many accessories. Partied like crazy with my best mates.

Also, started working out. Never felt so good. Even when I'm really tired, I force myself to go, and after a hard workout reward myself with a few minutes in the sauna. *Perfection* I recommend this to everyone especially if you're in a job where you don't move around much, even if you don't gain weight, your body can get really out of shape. Plus for someone like me who drinks her weight in alcohol every other week and smokes the occasional cigarette, at least I think I'm doing something healthy.

Anyway, enjoy yourselves darlings, because this year should be a good one!

Hey all,

This month so far

Hey dears,

Sorry this post isn't going to be such a happy one...
I have less and less time to update my blog, although I still enjoy following others.
Lately I've been spending all my time and energy on my day job. I never invested myself so much, but I'm having the most miserable time at work.
My boss is frankly a nut, and it feels like I'm getting yelled at all day, sometimes for the smallest things without much reason.
I'll always admit when I'm wrong, or I didn't do a good job with something, but whatever I do, it's always wrong, wrong, wrong, or not good enough.
I feel like I'm losing myself actually... I've lost over 6 pounds since the beginning of the year, just with stressing over work.
Of course as I've always been a bit overweight I don't mind losing a bit, but not in this unhealthy way. I like my diets to be balanced out with lots of fruit and veg, not this "never hungry" nonsense.
It's been ages since I actually spent some real time on my make-up or clothes (which spells out disaster in my language ;) ), and the worst part is, he kind of makes me all weak, which is the exact opposit of my personnality.
I know you should never argue with your boss, but right now, I'm lying down waiting for him to walk all over me.
I have to stay in this job for a while, to get some good work experience, but also, I'm not a quitter, and am not used to giving up when things get a bit hard.
I have to make space for something else in my life, before this job swallows me up.

Any ideas??

Again sorry for the unhappy post.

Hugs,

Morticia Von Sweet

New year's dinner (So, so late)

Hi darlings!

Been so so so busy, and it's already mid-January. New year's day has past, and no one probably cares anymore, but a promise is a promise! New year food pics!

So just the entrée and the cockatail, which are Scarlet Margaritas and Ham florentines with juicy beef skewers and horse radish sauce.
The other pics came out horrible, but the food was good I suppose since NO LEFTOVERS!!!
Anyway sorry for the lateness of this post... will try posting regularly once things have calmed down.

Cooking marathon today!

Tonight I'm inviting a few friends over for dinner for the New Year's Eve.

Here's what I'm making:

Juicy mini-beef skewers with horse radish sauce

Mini Ham florentine

***

Salmon in white wine and dill sauces served with wild rice and mixed vegetables

***

Vanilla cheesecake with berry compote

Have to get to work cooking and cleaning like a mad 50s woman!

Pics will follow...

Hugs!

My nails

Hi all, just a quick post-

My nails for the new year! :D

So happy!

I'm no good at nails... My friend did them for me. The red leopard print is so cool, I love it! I have a matching scarf that I bought from H&M.

Anyway that's all for now, just wanted to share.

Is it the end of December already??

Hey all!

It's been a long time... I've started a new job which is quite time consuming,so no more time for gothic chic make up... Unfortunately my wild look doesn't really bear with the image of my job. Well here's to jobs that pay the rent, cheers!

I would have loved to post pictures of the lovely beef wellington I made this Christmas, sadly there's none left...

I'm making new year's dinner, so I promise you, my readers, I will post before the end of the year!

I will also try to fit in a post of my look. How to be sexy and faboulous while cooking and cleaning and prepping everything for a dinner party.

Sort of a new year's pre-resolution since I haven't touched this blog for so long.

Till then, have fun, party hard!

Yours,

Morticia Von Sweet

Something wicked this way comes!

Silly joke of the day

For all those men who say, ‘Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?’ Here’s an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it’s not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

50th Post! *yay* (just a small update)

Had the most boring day filing everything on my computer. Updating my music on iTUnes and other stuff like that takes forever...
Anyway, will blog something interesting soon enough.

BTW just realised : 50th post!!

I've enjoyed blogging and following other bloggers so much!

Will be back with more!

Today's look

Had the day off today, so felt very adventurous doing my makeup.

I've finally gotten the hang of putting on fake lashes, thanks to this applicator I bought the other day! So happy because I've always felt my real lashes were way too short.

Anyway, the look is pretty much me playing around with my products. Don't know why, but I'm in a glittery phase right now. My makeup's usually quite dark and black, but maybe since it's been raining a lot recently, I feel the need to brighten up things ^^.

Hope you like!

Today's look

Hey everyone,

I was super hungover all day, so it took me a while to do this, but I'm really pleased with the result.

There's a lot of sparkly stuff everywhere, but I like the little mess of glitter.
The green eyeshadow is from this brand called "sleek". Love the color, and it lasts for quite a while.

Going out again tonight (groan) but will be sticking with ice tea, or trying to at least XD.

Word of the Day

Douche-bag:

1. An individual who has an over-inflated sense of self worth, compounded by a low level of intelligence, with no sense of how moronic he appears... Say, the most dangerous kind of fool, one with power.

Or to put it simply: my boss.

Halloween

So, Halloween's coming up in a fortnight and it's a perfect time to go crazy with the make-up.
I've been seeing a lot of cool tutorial's on youtube, but still haven't decided anything yet.

Also, for fun, I bought these really cheesy red horns below that just look fantastic on my dark hair, but I think I'll do something more daring than dressing up as a she-devil. Hmm...

Today's look

Hey everyone!

As every goth girl, I love experimenting with my make-up and trying new looks everyday.

Here's today's... Hope you like.




After a bit, I decided to add a bit of detail.




Used:

Black cake liner by MAC
Kajal 2 in one black-white pencil by Essence
Magic Design Mascara by Essence
L'Oréal Paris Color Appeal Eyeshadow, White
Random cheap eyelashes

"And I Find It Kind Of Funny...

"And I find it kind of funny... I find it kind of sad. The dreams in which I'm dying are the best I've ever had."

It's when everything's urgent and you can't control what's happening that life's the most exciting. "when people run in circles, it's a mad world" isn't it?
You feel powerless. There's nothing you can do to avoid the wave that's going to sweep you off your feet.

So do you let yourself drown fighting back? Or do you just go with the flow.

Song of the day: Noisuf-X - Cocaine

Side project of X-fusion.
Love this one! Right mix of creepy, deranged and sexy.

The good ones screw you, the bad ones screw you, and the rest don't know how to screw you

Yes, yes and yes.
One of the best SATC quotes

Gotta love Imperative Reaction

	Imperative Reaction - As We Fall .mp3
	Found at bee mp3 search engine

Nothing like electro/gothic scene to empty your mind, forget yourself and party till you drop dead.

Once there was a dream and this is it

"If I should die this very moment, I wouldn't fear, for I've never known completeness like being here wrapped in the warmth of you, loving every breath of you.
Still in my heart this moment or it might burst.
Could we stay right here?
Until the end of time? Until the earth stops turning?
I want to love you until the seas run dry.
I've found the one I've waited for.
All this time I've loved you and never known your face.
All this time I've missed you And searched this human race.
Here is true peace, Here my heart knows calm, safe in your soul, bathed in your sighs.
I've found the one I've waited for."
