Happy Birthday Kelv.

stressing.

Today is a day when i've got shit loads to do but I end up doing none of it because I don't know where to start. 

Great.

Last night.

Last night in The Porter.

Live music and beautiful friends made my Tuesday night exceptional.

Happy Wednesday!

A year ago.

London, March month, one year ago. We were loving the temperature, the blue skies and the blooming nature.

Goddammit Spring. You're running late.

white roses.

Merci! Beautiful flowers always bring a big smile to my face.

One day, I'll have my own rose garden. Yep.

morning walk.

I decided when I woke up this Monday morning that I was gonna be super healthy this week. 

Like super healthy. 

1 hour powerwalk every morning and a pilates class in the evening. 

My first morning walk wasn't a pleasant experience let me tell you. -1 degrees, ice cold sidewind and a depressingly grey sky.  

But, that's not gonna stop me. This is just the beginning.  

Yeah.

Ok, so now I'm a Jessica nail varnish convert.

This season's best spring colours and a varnish that dries almost instant. Brilliant.

copycat.

Ooops, I think I've got myself a little copycat poser.

thai.

Saturday night and a serious amount of food consumed. 

That new Koh Thai Tapas place in Bath is really nice.

Birthday boy.

Happy Birthday to one of my favourite people in the world.

LOLA VERSUS.

I watched this film tonight. Lola Versus.

It's totally awesome. The trailer doesn't even do it justice.

hello saturday.

The day is what YOU make of it. 

evening sun.

Right now.
Positioned in a quiet corner of Malmo Stadsbibliotek. (The library)
Writing, listening to some new music in my earphones and watching the sun slowly go down outside the window. I know they wanna close soon, the librarians are giving me 'the' look.
But i'm far from done with this thing i'm writing. And i'm in the flow. Nothing worse than being interrupted when you're in the flow.

A Life Worth Living.

what a difference a day makes.

The snow melted and the spring decided to arrive.

Crazy For Raw.

Last night's dinner. Might have been the best sushi I've ever tasted.

 Yes, I really do think so.

Chill Out Sushi.

FIKA.

One of my favourite things about being back home in Sweden.

Hours of tea drinking.

A Guest Post by Julia Humphrey.

ASMR. Until a few days ago, I had never heard of it. Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. I honestly don’t completely understand what that even means but let me explain why I find this interesting.  

For many years now I have been getting this tingling sensation in my head in various moments. I like to call it a “brain massage” since it is actually feels like a massage on my scalp. I get these feelings randomly, usually when someone with a soft foreign accent speaks to me, or when someone draws something on a piece of paper and I carefully watch. It’s a very calming and relaxing emotion of well-being. 

I recently shared “my secret” with a friend, who looked at me in a “hey-whatever-floats-your-boat-kind-of-way” And I understand why. I mean, let’s get real, I tell my friend I get the same pleasure from hearing the nice supermarket-lady speak as I would get from a 40 pound facial. Yes, definitely a bit strange. I do want to point out that it is nothing sexual whatsoever!! 

So after some research, I came across a Facebook page, dedicated solely to this subject. Apparently it is called ASMR and it’s still quite an unfamiliar condition, which is why there is no real explanation to why people experience these kinds of “brain massages”. In any case, I found out a lot of other people get the exact same feeling. However, the triggers are somewhat individual, anything from whispering voices to watching someone paint. A lot of people’s comments on the Facebook group were “I really thought I was the only one…” 

I understand that for someone reading this that does not feel it, may think it is odd, but if anyone recognizes themselves, I would love reading your comments! 

And I guess, at the end of the day, this “phenomenon” is pretty great, considering I get a free massage just by listening to a random person talk! 

xoxo Julia.

vintage and meatballs.

Went to see the Lichtenstein exhibition at Tate Modern.

So amazingly good. One of my favourite artists of all time and a massive inspiration.
If you're around you should definitely check it out.
