last night.

Had a portion of mussels in Beaujolais last night. Maybe the best mussels i've ever had. The best.

english countryside.

My boyfriend took me out for the afternoon to show me where he went to school. Made me think of my beautiful senior school back home in Sweden.... A block of concrete. Covered in graffiti. Oh but those were the days. Anyway, the english countryside is fantastic this time of the year!

hello.

I've had a much needed little blog break. Just been enjoying these beautiful summer days. Hope you all have a lovely weekend and enjoy while the sun is around. Think tomorrow is the last of it.

today.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." - M. Scott Peck

summer days.

Smoothies and milkshakes after work with friends. LOVE these summer days.

me and little sister.

Don't get me wrong, I'm loving this English heatwave that's just arrived. But why the hell do I live in a city that's not surrounded by water on hot days like these?? Everyone heads to the park. Why? Parks are hot, crowded and there's nowhere to cool off. Thinking about it. The city of Bath is really badly placed on the UK map. Think I need to spend more of my summers in Sweden by the beach. Or in Italy. 

Weekend.

Very uneventful weekend. Work, work and more work.....But, summer is finally here and I can't wait for a new week to arrive.

today I fell a little bit in love.

The Body Shop.

When was the last time you bought anything from The Body Shop? I hadn't been to that place in years...but then a few weeks ago, I was in town, had some hours to kill before meeting up with a friend and thought i'd pop in to check out what the store actually sell nowadays. And I ended up buying these two things;  The Vitamin C skin reviver and the Vitamin E facial oil. And I have to say, i'm really impressed. Both of the products are really good. My skin feels rehydrated, smooth and I didn't have to spend a fortune on them. So i will be back for more. The Body Shop you are no longer forgotten!

24hr thing.

Oh boy. I've had the most horrendous 24 hours. I was hit by some bug Wednesday morning that left me completely gone for the past two days. Been really sick, had the chills, the ache...yes all of it.. Still feeling pretty weak but think i'm on my way to recovery... ahhh I really hope this is the last day of it though...got things to do and places to go!

homemade lemonade.

Ok so today I decided to make lemonade. Really easy and it only took about 5 min to make. 

For two litres of lemonade you need; 

  2 litre bottled still water

100 g/ 1 dl caster sugar 

6 lemons 

Fresh mint (optional)

 Heat up some of the water, add the sugar and let it completely dissolve in the water. Mix it with the rest of the cold water and the juice from the lemons. Add fresh mint leaves. Let it cool off in the fridge. Serve with ice and lemon slices.

Nice.

a paler shade of grey.

Have I ever been this pale before? In July? I actually don't think so. A friend told me today that I looked pale. And Eastern European.

budget heels.

Now these beauties from Timeless are new in for autumn/winter. Classic, sexy and not too expensive. £55. If you live in Bath you can find them in LUX.

Sunday and blue skies.

Not much to say about this weekend. I've worked non stop. Made it out for an afternoon walk through the botanical garden. Lovely but oh so crowded. So many loud tourists snapping up all the best sun spots. I guess we're all that desperate to get some sun on our faces.

emma stone.

I love the cover of August issue of British Vogue. Emma Stone, how amazing doesn't she look!? And her jumper. She sounds like a pretty cool girl in the interview aswell. Good for her!
Hope you all have a nice Sunday, i'm off to work...so see you later.

23.35

I miss him tonight. That crazy ass person with fairy lights around his neck.

tonight.

It's Friday night people. Have a good one!

Friday.

Thinking i've had enough of pale coloured summer lipsticks...it's time for some darker shades, like this one i'm wearing today. 'CremeSheen Hang-Up' from MAC.

let the rain pour then.

Yeah ok so the sunshine I wrote about this morning obviously wasn't gonna last. This weather is just starting to get to me now.. Even now more so when it's just been announced that the Basham festival that I was telling you guys about yeasterday has been cancelled due to the rain! The land where the festival is held is water logged and it's not looking as the weather is gonna get any better in the next few weeks.
This sucks.

good morning thursday.

Listening to Angus & Julia Stone and eating my breakfast. And the sun is shining. Couldn't get any better than this. Enjoy today lovely people and be happy, creative and curious!

basham.

Think everyone should go to this festival! For two days there will be some really great bands and DJ's playing, some nice festival food and getting cosy in a tent is always a treat! And all profits go to charity. So come on, let's do this, it's for a good cause and summer is almost over and we all need to have some fun!
When? 4-5th August.

yep.

one of those days.

This summer just seems to rush by. It's the 10th of July already! Yikes. What happened. From now on i'm gonna enjoy every single day that's left of it. Rain or no rain....and eat more ice cream.

bristol.

I'm starting to miss the place. I think the Bristol Harbour Festival is a must this year.

life.

ashtray.

Found this photo on my laptop, it was taken after a party at my house. My British mates clearly doesn't give a shit about Scandinavian design. Haha..

thursday.

Morning, looks like summer is back in the city. Have a nice Thursday people!

it's a lipstick.

Found this in my handbag. Leftovers from the Hen party I went to a couple of weekends ago.  Not gonna apply this in public me thinks.

a coffee break.

It's raining outside, nothing unusual with that. But actually I don't care. I've got things to do, lots of things. Fun things that I will tell you all about soon!

sommar flicka.

I do miss chatting to this little girl.

swedish summer.

A week too late, but here's a few pics I took last week in Sweden. Midsummer, herring, beach, family time, snaps and saunas. Looking forward to some more Swedish time in August again!
