Proper running socks

The other day when I went for a run on the threadmill in the gym I tried out my new running socks that I bought last weekend. You might remember that I had problems with blisters on my feet when I started running and I still haven't got rid of them completely so I thought what could be better than buying proper running socks!? ;) There is actually a big difference so it was a good buy. I love the way they put L and R on the socks so that you won't put the wrong sock on the wrong foot. It must be just in case you forget where your big toe is located? ;)

Tonight I attended the second part of the photo course with Jonas Borg and my colleagues. We learnt all about ISO, the right white balance, Kelvin scale and how to edit your photos in an editing program (quick fixes). It is amazing how easily you can make your photo look great rather than good. It has been a very inspiring course, I have taken some notes and I'm eager to start taking photos to try everything out. Lets hope I can take some nice photos this spring!

Happy Friday

I've had a good productive day in work today and finished the week off by going down to the gym to run 10 kilometres on the threadmill in 53 minutes and 27 seconds to be exact ;) I was quite tired after that but haven't done any exercising since Monday when I went to the bodypump class. I don't think I'll be doing any more running this week and on Monday I'm going to Denmark with work which means I won't be going to the gym for the first three days of next week either :( Felt great after the run today but now I'm really full since I've been eating loads and loads of cheese and biscuits. I've also had some red wine but that's allowed since it's Friday ;)

Have been playing around in Photoshop Elements 9 this evening with a photo I took this week of the beautiful tulips I received :)

Tomorrow it's Saturday and that means it's only one more week until Maria and I take off for Lanzarote!! My friend Niamh from Ireland will also be there that week so I've promised her we'll try to meet up one of the days. Can't wait for my holidays, I need some sun :)

Boomerang blazer

I absolutely LOOOOOOOVE this Boomerang blazer in offwhite with navy stripes. I always like shopping but especially at spring time. There are so many nice clothes in the shops right now and I love the brighter colours that are perfect to greet the spring with. I wish I was made of money but unfortunately I'm not :( Will have to wait until I'm back from Lanzarote to see if I have any money left. It's time to save some money for the summer as well but it's so hard. At least if your name is Katja and you're shopaholic ;)

Tonight they had organised a photo course in work for us. The photographer Jonas Borg came to the office and tried to teach us a bit about photography. He showed us some beautiful pictures that he has taken, they were really amazing! We have another photography session with him in April as well so I'm gonna try to take some photos until then. You just need to have the time, patience and the courage to try out different things. I really want to learn more about editing photos as well, I have Photoshop Elements 9 on my Macbook now so I'll just need to watch some video tutorials to get started!

Ego girl

Another thing you can do in Photoshop Elements is play around with different photo effects. I have taken a photo of myself and created 4 layers of it that I put on a white background. Then I used the photo effect neon light and used different colouring :)
