About Me

Hi all, I'm Andreia, I'm 27 and I'm from Portugal. I've been working as a freelance translator for the last 4.5 years. I am fun-loving, good humoured, good spirited, and never miss a chance to party. I really love a good laugh. I am an eager reader and music listener and have recently rediscovered my long-forgotten love for crafts. I enjoy making pins and brooches, working with beads, charms, wire and safety pins, crocheting, costumizing and remodelling old stuff and lately I've also been experimenting with polymer clay. I have a lot of fun taking hundreds of pics - the sillier, the better :) I also love food and cooking. I'm not very picky on flavours: I like every fruity and herbal flavour, spices, tea, coffee, caramel and chocolate.

My favourite colours are black, blue, red/burgundy, purple/lilac/mauve, some greens and pinks, brass, grey, silver and white. I'm not very fond of brown, orange or yellow.

I like all kinds of stuff with cats, dragonflies, butterflies, hearts, skulls, bats, polka dots, stripes, B-movie themed, Halloween themed, spooky themed; lace, beads, charms, cameos and frills; cute and kitsch things; things with an antique, vintage, bizarre or generally unusual look.

Some of my favourite objects: brooches, pins, hair pins, barrettes, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, safety pins, charms, beads, lipgloss, lipstick, notebooks, paper, pens, pencils, fans, CDs, soap bars, candles, fragrances.

I LOVE art and I really can't picture the world without it.

As for bands, well, I'd rather not make a list, for it is almost endless ;)
