My first photography gig! (not really)

Taken in Malmo,Sweden

Hello fellow blogger friends!

I just want to tell you guys about a little experience i had today in Sweden.

I visited beautiful Malmo today, which was pretty exciting and fun. Our mission
today was to eat yummy vegan food at Vegegården  and shop some awesome vegan
food at "Astrid och Aporna".  We did both.

As we were walking towards Vegegården two people asked us to take a picture of them.
My mom was going to do it, but their camera was a Canon camera, and she seemed hesitant
to do it so i decided to take the picture instead. I was so excited since their camera had a really long lens  So i took the picture and they both smiled. I gave their camera back and asked if the picture was ok. They responded with 2 beautiful words (in spanish) "Siiiiii" and "gracias!". Even though this experience would probably mean very little to others, i felt like 
a  part of my dream came though. 

I don't know, maybe i'm exaggerating, but at that moment i knew photography HAS to be my future job. Someday, i will. I have to. I NEED to.

Thanks for reading guys!
Happy Easter!

90's Survey inspired by JoeyGraceffa & Missglamorazzi

Edited on PicMonkey.com

Hello fellow blogger friends!

I saw Joey and Ingrid's video the other night and i

thought it would be fun to do the 90's survey that they made. It's also a great way to share a bit of my childhood to you guys.

Also feel free to do this survey too! I would love to read them!

Let's start!

I was born in 1994...

1. Favorite Disney channel original movie? ( or Nickelodeon movie/series) 

=  Well i didn't have a Disney channel until i was 12, but i did have a Nickelodeon channel.

And let me start with, that i was obsessed with those TV shows. Every time i got home from school, and every weekend i would sit in front of the television eating a snack watching cartoons. 

It's so hard to pick only one, but i think i have to go with "Rugrats"! I remember so many moments where i just sat on my couch eating some sweets watching the same episodes over and over again. I never got tired of them. haha... One of my favorite episode must have been the episode where they dived into Chuckie's stomach to get the watermelon seed he swallowed. Since that episode i always think that if i swallow a fruit seeds it's going to grow in my stomach...haha... 

Here enjoy little of my childhood: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EA10jLsKB0 

2. Favorite music artist?

= Back then, i wasn't really that into music. I enjoyed watching movies a lot more.  But some of my favorite songs where in movies and tv series. To be honest i don't  remember 

any of them...

3. Favorite Nick Jr. show?

=  It was probably "Dora the explorer" (i know the show started in 2000, but it's the only show i can remember). Even though i never admitted watching it because i was so embarrassed, i loved it. Especially the "Swiper, no swiping!" scenes, haha...

4. Favorite candy?

= I was obsessed with the "melody pops"! ( here's a picture  ) I didn't know how to whistle, and i desperately wanted to learn, so by using this candy, i thought i would learn how to. haha... I also loved the "Diamond lollipops" (picture).  Basically i loved lollipops  even though they always hurt my tongue. I wasn't really into chocolate, i loved those colored candies filled with chemicals...mm..

5. Favorite game? (board game, school game, etc.)

= I loved playing board games, when i was younger. One of my favorites that we would play in school was "Guess who" (picture). I adored that game. I would always be the one forcing everyone to play board games for hours and hours. Everyone would be tired, but not me! haha.. Another of my favorites where Uno and Monopoly, classics...

6. Favorite McDonald's Happy Meal toy?

= Ohh.. We didn't really go to McDonal's when i was young ( neither do we now). But from the few memories i remember loving any toy, as long as it was free and colorful!

7. Favorite book?

= I almost never read as a child. But i loved the "Donald duck" comics. I used to have a box filled with those magazines. Even as a child i loved collecting things. I think one of the reasons why i didn't like to read is because i was a very artsy and visual kid, which is why i loved comics. Donald duck would just make me laugh so much.

8. Favorite clothing store?

= There were only about 3 stores that i would shop at regularly, and those were H&M, Ecco and  Åhlens. I loved comfortable pants, hoodies, skirts and sometimes dresses. I loved to shop for clothes, and i still do. Not so sure if i had a great fashion sense back then, but i think i thought i did... 

9. What would you watch when you'd get home from school?

= As i said before "Rugrats". But of course i watched tons more. One of my other favorite were definitely "Rocket Power". That show was so entertaining. I would always imagine that i was Reggie had that i had friends like Otto. It was my dream to have an adventurous life like theirs. 

"All that" was another favorite. I remember my mom hated that show, since she thought it was corny. Not that many people my age watched English speaking series ( in Sweden), but i enjoyed the non dubbed versions a lot more. "All that" was never dubbed, which i appreciated a lot. Some of my other favorites were "Hey Arnold", "The wild thornberrys" and "CatDog".

Hope you enjoyed!

=)

Happy Easter!

Easter dessert!

Hello fellow blogger friends!

Thought i would share this Easter dessert recipe i made on my other channel. It

is a video showing you how to make Vegan Semlor.

I don't think i have ever seen Vegan Semlor before...

It is Vegan and super easy to make. This is a Swedish dessert which is eaten between

Christmas and May. But people in Sweden eat Semlor a lot during the Easter time.

Enjoy!

And happy Easter!

My first shout out on Youtube!

Hello fellow blogger friends!

So how are you doing? I'm doing great!
Last weekend was so exciting for me. I got my first shout out on Youtube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Snslmh7Pktk). It's made by a sweet girl who i think is so talented. 

I saw her sticker video ( showing her homemade stickers) and wrote a comment on her video saying i liked her art and her cute editing skills. Then we started messaging each other and she asked if i liked a shout out.
I was so humbled and said "sure, thank you".
When i washed her video ( which i did several times, and i even showed it to my mom) i felt so happy and humbled.
I couldn't believe she made a video, which she must have taken hours to film and edit...  I am extremely grateful. 
So please do check out her awesome channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/JurneeSheridan/videos?flow=grid&view=0
Subscribe,like and comment on her videos. =) Thanks!

And i also want to thank everyone else who watches on my videos!

Here's a sneak peak on one of my future videos:

My 2012 favorites!

Hello fellow blogger friends!!

First of all i want to say Happy New Year!
I hope you all had a fantastic year.

So after watching so many "My 2012 favorites" videos on Youtube, i
wanted to make one myself.

Here are my favorites!

Teen wolf - I started to watch this series with my mom about 3 days before New Years eve.
We got pretty obsessed with it. Didn't take long before we were done watching it. The 3rd
season comes back this summer and i'm super excited!
If you don't know anything about the series then let me give you a little summary.
The series is about a young boy called Scott, who gets bitten and becomes a teen wolf. His
best friend Stiles is like his sidekick, helping him with the different challenges. Scott will eventually get to know a lady friend called Allison who he falls in love with. The series is very exciting
and extremely addicting.


Graphic design -  If you have read my recent blog posts on iheartart172012 then you
know i got accepted into graphic design school. I start in 2 weeks. I remember last year
about a week before vacation i got a thick letter from the school. And i got accepted.
I was incredibly happy and excited. My love for graphics started after i fell inlove with
Youtube and photography. I have always loved reading magazines, but not to
read, but to look at the graphics and layouts. Can't even belive that i got in....


Youtube - I just have to add this one. Youtube is THE BEST WEBSITE ever made.
I remember watching random videos when i was about 13 years old and i fell in
love with Youtube. The site was still fairly new and i didn't know that much about it.
I could spend hours watching celeb interviews. But then after some years i got really
bored. So i searched for entertainment. And i found Megan ( aka Meganheartsmakeup ).
She's the one who got me into make up and beauty. I acctually thought about becoming a
make up artist, for about a year. But then i fell inlove with photography.
I found other youtubers like Ingrid , Blair , Joey , Brittany and lots more. I
quickly learned that tons of people are making videos for a living, high quality videos.
That's why the summer of 2011, i made my 1st video...
Thanks Youtube for existing!


Canon EOS 600D - Before the summer i got a early 18th present from my mom.
It was a Canon camera! I wanted to have high quality videos up on my YT channel,
and i wanted to be able to focus on fotography more. It didn't take long before i learn how
to use it, since i was so obsessed with it. I still am obsessed with it.


Social blade - Social blade is a partnership program that everyone in the would can
get, if they meet the rules. I applied, and got accepted. I love them for being
so easy to write to and they always answer your questions.
Thank you for everyone who watches my videos, you guys are the reason i'm now
a partner. #dreamComeTrue


So that was some of my favorites of 2012!
Hope you enjoyed reading!

I'm now a Social Blade partner!

My x-mas tree.
I have filmed a "decorating my christmas tree" video
and will upload it soon!

Hello blogger friends!

If you are following me on twitter ( nitsujrebeib100 ) then you already know this...
I am now offically a social blade partner, for my channel Artandbeautyfreak . I can't even
begin to tell you how happy i am. I have already started costumizing my thumbnails, and i
have even made myself a banner!

This could not have happened if it weren't for all of my loyal and amazing subscribers and
viewers. So THANK YOU so much for watching my videos, writing comments, and all
of the love! I am going to work harder than ever before to upload as much content as
i possibly can. If you didn't know i am going to start at a graphic design school on January 17th. This will mean that i am going to be incredibly busy, but never too busy to make videos!

I would never have thought that making Youtube videos would be so much fun, but it is!
And i highly recommend YOU to try it out. Show the world your talents, no matter if it's
drawing, make up, photography, vlogging, sports, comedy or film. I started making videos
on the summer of 2011 and i have loved YOUtube ever since.

Also check out Social blade who is incredible, and has the best support system, in my opinion. Because of them i am now able to do anything that the YOUtube partners do. So THANK YOU social blade!

Also Thank you to YOUTUBE for existing!

I don't even know what to say anymore, just THANK YOU everyone who has ever watched my videos, tweeted me, commented on my channel, subscribed to me and more.
You guys are incredible!
THANK YOU AND HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

This is by far the best christmas in my whole entire life!

Thank you for making my life even more exciting!

Have an Awesome day!

My picture was featured on Happycow.com !

See the highlighted part

Hello blogger friends!
Do you guys remember last month were i bloged about a vegan restaurant called Vegegården?
Well, remember that banana split picture, it got featured on the home page on Happycow.com.
They mailed me that they were featuring it, and i was so incredibly happy. I couldn't belive it.

Happycow.com is a website where you can find vegan restaurants super easy. There are also
vegetarian restaurants. It's because of their site that i found Vegegården and all the other vegan
restaurants. In the search field you can write where you live and the nearest restaurants will pop
up. And there are directions too!

I highly recomend the site.

Thank you for all of your support!
