The last post - Who am I?

Hello everybody,

This is my final post ever on this blog. I'm very thankful that people actually read this, it makes me happy that all the time I have used on writing posts almost every day for you, hasn't been a waste, because someone does read it. I hope you've found my blog good and possibly helpful? And maybe you could relate to some of the situations I've been through. So one last time I will take a look at my New Years Resolutions for 2012.

1: Get my first boyfriend (yes I know, I'm 15 years old and I haven't had a boyfriend! LAME!!)
2: Get my first kiss (and since I haven't had a boyfriend, I've never kissed a boy :/)
3: Write on this blog every day
4: Eat healthier and get fit (I'm NOT a healthy eater, and I don't do alot of exercise and I'd like to change that) 
5: Be a better person (cliche I know, but I really do want to be a better person.. Like doing volunteer work, or help animals or people)
6: Get better in school (I have a B- as my average grade, and I really want that to be and A- (At least))
7: Learn to play guitar or piano (I've always dreamed of being able to play an instrument)
8: Go on a "real" date (never been on one of those either)
9: Lie less (almost everyone lies every single day, but I don't want to do that anymore so....)

1: Nope I've still not had my first boyfriend, but I'm starting to feel fine about it. I mean, I don't want a boyfriend just to have one. I want one, because I'm in love with him and we are perfect together. And I really really hope that I'll find that one day, but if I don't, I have amazing friends and family and I'm sure I'll never be lonely. I can always get me a lot of cats.
2: Check I've had that. Oh and just to tell you, I was at a New Years party at Carol T's house, and remember the guy who liked me this summer? Who asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend? Well one of my other friends from another town, she kissed him! No not kissed made out! And I actually felt a little weird about it..
3: Well that one we all know didn't come true. I have written 186 post in all (well 187 now) and there is 365 days in a year, so I am not even close.
4: I would say that I've been healthier this year than any year in the past, but still that's not very healthy, and I've also gained weight and it sucks.
5: I honestly don't believe that I'm a better person.
6: I would say that since the summer I've really improved and I'm happy!
7: I haven't played guitar after the summer vacation, which is a loooong time ago. But me and a friend want's to start at a real teacher and everything.
8: Nope, but in Denmark, people don't really date, I don't know anybody who's been on a date, it's just not how we role.
9: I would say that I've lied more than ever before. I've lied to my parents a lot, and I really hate myself every time I lie, but it's just something that I do.

Now to the part where I tell you who I really am. My name is not Maia Elle, I didn't want to put this blog under my own name, because I was very nervous that someone I knew would see it. So I decided, I wanted a name that gave me the initials M.E - me. and I really like the names Maia and Elle, so that's just what I decided to call myself in here. I've tried not to show my face in any of the pictures, I've posted, but I have shown my room a bit. Anyways here we go:

My name is Isabella.
I'm 15 years old.
I live in Denmark.
I have 2 sisters.
My mom is Danish, but my dad is American.
My dad is from Illinois.
All of my friends has other names too.
Here's a couple of pictures of me:

Yes that is how I look.
You can check out my own blogs HERE. I have made the blog called "Living the sweet life" into a both Danish and English blog so you can read it if you want to.
I am very happy to have blogged for you for the last year. And I hope you've enjoyed it as much as me.
I still have my e-mail called Maia.Elle@hotmail.com, so please write me about anything!
And thanks for all the help you've given me, you guys are great!

Love,
M.E<3 (or should I say Isabella?)

The 30th of December - New Years Eve?

Hey everyone!

So tomorrow is New Years Eve, and don't we all just want to look super hot while entering the new year? Well I do at least!! So here's what I'll be doing tomorrow to get as hot as possible before we go into the new year, are you ready for this?

8.00 I get up, get ready and head to the fitness center at 9.00 for New Year Yoga. It's my last day as a "member" so I had to get the last out of it. It starts at 10 and is done at 11, and after we've changed we're going home. So the first thing I'll do when I get home is shower maybe even a bubble bath? And I'll both use a face mask and a hair mask to get both my skin and my hair glowing. I'll also shave legs and all, and use a great body lotion. Then I'll meet up with Carol H and another girl and they'll first of all help me decide what dress to wear and I'll help them as well. Also to talk to them about what and how much makeup they'll use and so on. Then we'll head down to get some alcohol, Carol is 16 which is the age you have to be to buy alcohol where I live. Then when we've done all of that we'll part and go home. So then I'll go ahead and do my hair and makeup and then I'm completely done with my look. Then I'll eat with my family and when we're done, I'll go to Carol T house where there is a New Years party.

And that will be my day tomorrow, I'm looking very much forwards to it. Btw I've done my nails today so that is why that isn't a part of the "routine". So tomorrow is my final day of blogging it's very sad, but just to give myself one more day, I'll do my final post on January the first. I hope you'll be reading it.

Love,
M.E<3

What 2012 has taught me?

Hi everyone!

First of all me and Carol didn't hang today and I didn't tell her anything because she was sick.

Anyways so I heard about this tag called "What 2012 has taught me?" and I figured I'd give it a try..

2012 has been a good year for me, the year that I got my first kiss, the year that I got a lot of new friends, the year that I got more outgoing, the year that I became a model and the year that I got my first period. But also this year has been a lot about thinking about the future, making decisions that might affect me later in life and also doubting myself a lot and last but not least being jealous.

So what have this year taught me as a person? What will I take with me from this year? Will I be any smarter next year, or will I make as many mistakes?

1 # thing 2012 taught me is to believe in myself, I can do whatever, I want to, and I am who I am. And maybe there are people who's better than me at everything, but they're not me.

2 # thing 2012 taught me is to think about what I'm doing right now with my life and also about the future. I've had to take some hard choices but I've gone through it.

3 # thing 2012 taught me is to always tell the truth, you'll get a lot longer in life by always telling the truth.

4 # thing 2012 taught me is to enjoy the people around you and not taking anyone for granted.

5 # thing 2012 taught me is that boys aren't everything. The most important thing in life is not to have a boyfriend or go around kissing guys, and that you are going to do fine without love until you find someone worth the wait and worthy of your love.

6 # thing 2012 taught me is that health, exercise and sleep aren't overrated but the key to a happy life and a happy body.


Those are the things that 2012 taught me. I tag all of you, and please sent me a link if you do this.

Love,
M.E<3

The 27th of December - Best friends?

Hi.

I've decided to start the new year by being honest. And the first one on my list to be honest to is Carol T. For a long time we have called ourselves best friends, but for almost as long it has just been a title without meaning. Me and Carol are far from best friends.. we never hang out and we don't tell each other about our problems. So why the hell would we call each other best friends? Well I have been calling her my best friend for many reasons, 1. we have once been very close and she helped me out a lot earlier when I had problems and it felt natural I guess, 2. she called me her best friend and then I just felt like I had to do the same thing, 3. I guess I haven't had the guts to admit that we're not, 4. I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what might happen if I say that we're not, I'm afraid that there will be a fight and I'm afraid that maybe our friends will choose sides and that they won't choose mine. But I'm done. I'm done pretending and I'm done being afraid. Carol is many things and has done many things, but she doesn't deserve being fooled into believing we are something we're not.
It's time to have a hard conversation. I have plans tomorrow, but saturday is the big day. I'll ask her to hang out with me and we can sit down a quit place and talk, and I'm sure I'm not the only one feeling this way. I really want to work on our relationship, and I know it sounds like we're married or something but it's... I don't know. I just remember what we used to have and I do miss it, but we have just grown apart and we don't have that much in common any more. I'm sad that this might end.. but still it's relieving and I think it's for the best. I don't want to loose her, I just want to give her a wakeup call.

Sorry for the melodramatic post today, but this just entered my mind this evening, and I decided this was the right thing to do.

Love,
M.E<3

The 26th of December - What I got for Christmas!

Hey everybody!

Today I wanted to show you what I got for Christmas! And just to be like all of the youtubers who does this, I just want to tell you that I'm not trying to brag about anything and I'm super grateful about all of these presents. Me and my family had decided to do a Hawaiian Christmas because none of us really like the Danish Christmas foods, so we just went for a Christmas with only things that we all enjoy doing! And yeah that was so much fun, probably the best Christmas ever.  Just for the record, I wanted to do this yesterday, but my computer went crazy so I had to turn it off and I just decided to do it today instead.

This is a picture of our "Christmas three" and my sister's, my mom and dad's and my presents..

And on to my presents..
I got this hairbrush in my stocking from Santa (there's coming more stuff from Santa further down).

And from my grandma and grandpa I got this "Clinique 3 step cleansing system".

From my aunt and her family I got the Gossip Girl season 1.

 From my uncle and his girlfriend I got this Clinique body lotion.

And this is so funny! My sisters bought me "The Bro Code" by Barney Stinson, you know it if you're awesome and watch "How I Met Your Mother". Love it!

This was another one of Santa's gifts, it's a headband for running in the winter.

My aunt and her family also bought me this Eos lip balm and this nail polish from the brand Depend (danish brand), but I think I'm going to exchange the nail polish since I already have one in almost the exact color.

These socks was also from my grandma and grandpa. They're also for running.

And I got a lot of monaaayyy! Yeah.. My mom and dad got me and my sisters 900 kr. each which is about 160 dollars, and that's not too shappy for mee! And then my grandma and grandpa gave me 200 kr. (35 dollars) on top of the socks and Clinique cleansing thing! So I'm now a rich kid!

And my parents gave me the money in this, together with... dam dam daaaam... a subscription for 5 magazines, and this is a special danish magazine called "Costume".

 And at last Santa gave me some little things in my stocking also. Here there's candy, chewing gum, a tooth brush and leggings.

Me and my family also got gifts for all of us, there was a board game and candy from Santa. So yes it was a great Christmas, both gift wise and just because me and my family had so much fun together, we don't usually spend this much time together.

And actually me and my family has spend the past to days together as well. My oldest sister, my uncle and his girlfriend all go to the same fitness center (not in the same city) actually my sister is a trainer. Anyways their fitness center gives this gift card to all the members for another person to train free in the center for one week. So they all got them and gave them to me, my other sister and my mom. So we went to the fitness center both today and yesterday and we've signed up for a lot of classes. And yesterday we had one class and that was my oldest sisters. And then today we went to flow yoga. So even though I've been eating like crazy these past days, I've also been working out.

So yeah that's what I got. What did you get? Please comment and tell me.

Love,
M.E<3<3<3

The 24th of December - Happy christmas eve!

Hey everyone!

Happy Christmas eve! Or should I say "Mele Kalikimaka"? That's the Hawaiian way of saying Merry Christmas, and why would that be appropriate since I live in Denmark and have nothing to do with Hawaii? Well this year me and my family decided to spice up christmas instead of just do what we always do. So we decided to make a themed Christmas and the theme we ended on was Hawaiian. So that's why I'm saying that. It has been such a great evening, we have had so much fun, and we ate only food we love and all this candy and cake that we baked in the days up to. It has definitely been one of the best christmases ever! I got some great gifts, and tomorrow I will show you all of them, but I didn't get that many. I mean you see these gurus on youtube showing what they got, and they got sooo much stuff. My stuff are more like a moderate amount, and I'm so happy with all the gifts so I wouldn't want anything else and I'm not like thinking there's too little.

The reason that I got gifts Christmas Eve is because that's how you do it in Denmark. You eat, then you dance around the christmas three singing christmas songs and then you open your presents. So we kinda mixed the danish traditions and then we went with Hawaiian decorations, clothes and music in the background.

Since I am half an American (my dad is American) we also open gifts on the 25th, these are the gifts from "santa". So we have always had a little different christmas than the normal danish christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

Love,

M.E<3

The 23rd of December - New years resolution 2013

Hey everybody!

So I know that this years new years resolutions haven't really been realistic and I haven't achieved many of them. But that's not going to hold me back from making new ones this year. And sure they are going to be a little bit more realistic, but mainly it's things about me - things I want to change so that's how we'll do this.

Number 1 - is to swear less. Because I have realized that I swear a lot and that's not very attractive so I want to change that!

Number 2 - is to achieve the goals I have set for February (the goals about 1 being able to run 5k easily, 2 being able to do 20 pushups in a row and 3 being able to do the splits)

Number 3 - is to always do my homework. I've been making excuses lately and not been doing them, sitting on the computer or watching tv instead! That has got to change.

Number 4 - is to try as well as I can to eat healthy and make healthy choices.

Number 5 - is to enjoy every day.

All of these resolutions are things that's going to change me into a better person - the person I want to be. Which is a happy, enjoyable, polite, healthy, beautiful, smart, funny person who loves her life and everyone around her. I really want to be that person! And I believe that I can be. Watch me! ;D

I hope that these will be easier to keep up with this year, and I think they will, because after all I have gotten smarter over the last year.

Love,
M.E<3
