Nubbytwiglet skriver regelbundet inlägg under rubriken The week in pictures. Jag ska göra något liknande, men åndå annorlunda. Det här är en sammanfattning av förra veckan. Tyvärr så kommer resten av inlägget att bara vara på engelska. Ett undantag, jag lovar.

• Drove home again.
• Felt very tired.

Admired

• Beatiful makeups!
• Pretty makeups inspired by images of nature in different colors. Do check these links out, it's in Swedish, but if you click on the links you'll see some very inspiring stuff!
