Have had a good week (with a snowstorm) and most of all a good weekend. A friend of mine came to visit and we had a really good time in the cold and snowy Stockholm! Aquaria, christmas markets, bowling, dinner with family and friends, lunch out, movie night and so much more. But every good weekend comes to an end and now I need to "get back to the reality".

 

I love those times when you just feel so damn happy.

The moments when you feel like nothing can make you happier than you are right at that point.

To see that in a photo afterwards is just amazing.

 

 

After being sick for more than 2 weeks I'm finally feeling better! Being inside just waiting for the cough to go away was not how I planned to spend half of november, but what can you do when you get sick? Besides that I've done nice things, I've won a handful of competitions and therefore got a bunch of new things. I've been to a studio to get a photoshoot, got makeup and some photos taken by a photographer who was here visiting from LA, spent a weekend in Uppsala, been to the cinema, met friends, celebrated birthdays, made gingerbread and had family dinners at home. The snow has arrived, it's -13 degrees outside but feels like -20 at least. I guess after spending 4 months in Spain this year I'm not used to the swedish cold anymore...

 

 

Time really flies by! It's already november, the first snow came one and a half week ago but was gone again next morning. I've been studying, dreaming in spanish, been to a halloween party dressed as the devil, out eating tapas with a friend, celebrated relatives, been to a couple of events, watching movies, went swimming a couple of times and lots of other stuff. Right now I don't have too much to do which feels nice after weeks of hard studying! In just a few weeks it will be time to make saffron buns and gingerbread, decorate the house and start listen to all the christmas songs. I really can't wait. The christmas spirit is something I really love!

I love walks and I love them even more when the nature is amazing!

 

The last couple of weeks I havn't been too busy. Got an inflammation in my wrist and couldn't do much for a few days and it took 2 weeks before I could do everything normally again. I've started studying and checking out programs in Uni, and I have really mixed feelings about it but hopefully everything will turn out to be good! Except that I've been out on walks, seen the musical Dirty Dancing (my favorite film like a musical, it was absolutely amazing!), out with friends and working. The last days have been boring with lots of rain, but it doesn't really matter when you're inside studying. 

 

Work, celebrating a friends birthday, cinema x3 (Looper, Hamilton - Men inte om det gäller din dotter, Hotel Transylvania), baked muffins, watched the new episodes of all the series I follow and running errands. That's what I've been doing lately. The birthday celebration turned out to be a really good night, I liked all the movies I watched at the cinema, tried two new recipes when baking muffins and the new episodes of the tv series was really good.

 

The autumn days it rains I'm glad to either work or spend a whole day inside doing laundry, baking or watch tv series and movies. And the sunny autumn days I enjoy every second outside, taking walks and just feel like we have a bit more time before it will be completely dark!

 

The days, weeks and months flies by faster than I'm used to and I bet it suddenly out of nowhere will be both winter, spring and summer again. But right now I love the autumn!

 

Having a bit of vacation from work for a couple of weeks felt good, I got to do things I haven't had time for lately, spent time with friends and just enjoying to have time off. Normally i'm not able to read a magazine, a book, watch a movie and things like that all the time because of the lack of time. But now the vacation is over and I've already spent the last few nights at work.

 

If we didn't knew it already, the summer is over and the autumn is already here. Less than 10 degrees at night and you already want to put on all the knitted clothing! I've started look for winterclothes I need and last week I took out my autumn jacket and prepared my boots for a looooong autumn and winter. It's crazy to feel like the autumn just got here since I feel like I left the summer when I left Spain 3 months ago, because we haven't had any good summer here in Stockholm this year.. It actually feels like I came home late august and then the time stopped for a couple of months to start with autumn for real after that.

 

Whatever weather we have, whatever I do, I still feel happy to be right here right now and I'm doing everything I possibly can to take advantage of it and not take anything for granted. I'm enjoying the fresh air outside, the movienights, the scented candles inside when the dark comes at night, my wardrobe that feels like a new one everyday I open a door to it and all the nice things that comes with this season!

 

On monday night I went to Berns to see Joshua Radin. But first, to start the night, the brittish band Scars on 45 came up on stage and did an amazing show. I got blown away by their songs and their amazing accents. Joshua Radin was amazing, I did not expect anything else but I was really surprised by how amazing he was! Here are some photos from the great night I had!

 

Like the goodiebag on the event I went to a couple of weeks ago wasn't enough... Last week I got a package home with two bikinis from Greta! It's my favorite type of bikini and the colours look amazing. I think these two will be perfect for next summer or maybe sooner, on a holiday in the sun! 

 

 

I love bikinis and I always find too many I want to buy... I've already bought three new ones this year and last year four. Do I even have to say that I've only used 2 of the last 7 I've bought?! I just can't get enough of them. I don't buy the very expensive ones and I'm not planning on changing that since so far I'm happy with the quality of the ones I have!

 

Joshua Radin on monday :)

The weekend was amazing. Spent friday night out having dinner with a bunch of girls and then afterwards met up with everyone else and spent an amazing night out. Dinner. drinks and dancing with some of the favorite people, that's what I call a perfect night out! Saturday I spent in town and went to the chocolate factory, they really do have some of the best chocolate in the world! I spent the rest of the weekend talking walks and at home watching movies. I just needed time to settle into everything, because now I'm not restless at all, I just love to get some time to do whatever I like to do. 

 

Right now I'm trying to make a cold go away faster than it showed, which is really really fast, by eating lots of fruit. Kiwi, oranges and grapefruit. I love fruit and I almost never can't get enough of it. After my two months in Cádiz going to the market every week to get the really fresh and nice fruit and make sure I always have fruit at home. It definitely feels fresh and better than every other snack! Berries and fruit are the best for your health!

Right now I have vacation from work. It's nice to have some time off after working the whole summer but I also feel a bit restless. I'm trying to do everything I haven't had the time for lately (like going to the hairdresser, for the first time in 2 years I actually left the hair salon feeling happy with how my hair turned out!), meeting up with friends and make plans for the future. It's so sad that the summerheat is gone because I really could need a couple of days of "the real summer" who refused to come to Sweden this year. But at the same time I can't help feeling happy about spending a whole night inside infront of the TV watching a really good movie. Since I've been working nights all summer I havn't had one of those nights since the spring! 

 

Right now I'm dreaming about going somewhere, close or far away doesn't matter, for a few days. Just explore a new place, the feeling that you're not able to do anything useful except being happy about spending sometime in another country! It would be nice to do that, but on the other hand... I haven't spent too much time home here in Sweden, so maybe it's time to be happy and feel that it's enough. Because I really do have the best people in the world around me and I always have a good time whenever I go out with my friends!

Went on an event by Damernas Värld and Åhléns last sunday when it was raining as much as possible here in Stockholm. During a couple of hours we sat there and listened to interviews of the winners of Guldknappen. It was nice and I've never been to anything like it before. I won the tickets in a contest and with us home we got to take a goodiebag filled with nice things. It wasn't just a thing or two in them, instead we got more than you ever can ask for to get for free! You can see what we got on the photos here below

 

 

 

After spending everyday at work, with a bad cold, I got a few days off. During these days I've been meeting up with friends, walked around in the center of Stockholm, went to an event with my mum (where we got a goodiebag filled with lots of nice stuff!), been to the cinema and off course, stayed in to watch series and movie one night. It's been a great weekend and i feel like I've rested enough but still had fun, which is perfect! Now the cold is gone and I feel like a fresh start!

 

Here's a photo from friday night out
