How can I explain this without sounding like a crazy person? You know the feeling you get when you twirl spaghetti around your fork until it forms this perfect little pasta lump.. you bring the fork to your mouth and enjoy a mouthful of al dente cooked spaghetti smoothed in (at least for my liking) […]

Summer with a twist of tonic and the key to eternal youth.
Stockholm is on its best behaviour at the moment. A bit too hot for my liking (if you’re stuck in town) but it’s all about making the most of the summer nights as well as being so close to friends and family again ❤️ So last night was girls night with my main squeeze, the […]
An evening in the presence of rockstars and perfection on a plate. Or two.
That’s how I would describe last nights Chefs Table with Desireé Jaks and her colleagues at Agrikultur. This is the place where the food is in focus, not the chefs. And you can clearly tell that they not only respect the process, from farmer to plate by supporting small farmers, but that they truly want […]
The gang’s all here.. now get in formation will you?!
.. you would think I’d be used to it after this being my 6th move in 16 years. But no. It never ceases to amaze me how much crap one can collect, even though one spent weeks cleaning out and donating half of the household goods to colleagues and charities.. Despite all that hard work, […]
Do it like a Swede.
Well peeps, it’s about that time. Below you’ll find my top 5 tips for reintegrating to Sweden, or as I lovingly call it: “do it like a Swede”. Cause even though I was born in this country, it won’t be a walk in the park.. 1) Don’t ever let the weather fool you. Like in […]
Library card, acupuncture, lamps and ice-cream. In that particular order.
And then it hits you like a slap in the face. I’ve truly moved home. Cause when you get yourself an old-school library card (mostly for the smell and sound of books – yes, listen to the flip of the pages..) it has to be the ultimate sign that you’ve settled. And what a library […]
An ugly crier, a wanderer and an obedient slave to the hair thinning scissors.
You know one of those people who watch a mushy movie or series on TV and sit and cries in the sofa. And I’m not talking about small, hard to see, tears rolling slowly down my cheeks – heck no, I’m talking crocodile style massive ones who could replenish the ocean. That’s me. All emotions […]
I’m just a musical prostitute my dear.
The one thing that I and Freddie Mercury have in common. We’re simply musical prostitutes. For him it was singing and performing on stage, for me it’s pumping up the volume on my speakers or my headphones 🎧 and sing as loud as I can. My head is full of music lyrics and all it […]
All hail the Queen of procrastination and indecisiveness
C’est moi. The only person I know who can be so stubborn when she wants too but oh so elusive when she chooses to be. Who can have such strong beliefs one day but doubt them the next. To be honest, we all know my type. I’m the one who can’t wait for bad decisions […]
Dear Santa, I want a red cottage with white trimmings. And a lot less sun rashes.
After the humidity and heat in Beijing I was longing for some pullover summer vacation in Sweden. Yeah right. Sweden’s experiencing a heatwave like no other. Where’s my +18 degrees and rain, my moody country men complaining about the bad weather and the overfilled indoor playhouses? Not here, that’s for sure. Instead the sun’s shining […]
