HOW I GOT MY SWIVEL CHAIRS #BehindTheScenesLife #DailyTheatreVibes #Vega...


In today’s video, I’m starting off by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories to create Reels for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok—getting those transitions just right. Then, I hop on my bike and head to the theatre. It’s raining outside, but I’m all set with my trusty yellow raincoat, and nothing’s going to slow me down! When I arrive at the theatre, Nathalie Lodell tells me that my two new office chairs for the costume atelier have finally arrived. Honestly, I’ve been waiting for these, and they are worth it. To top it off, Hjalmar Freij’s new boots for the show are also here, ready to break in!  

I also find out that Nils Weibull, one of the actors, has a hidden talent—he’s kind of a magician! That’s something I didn’t see coming, and it’s a fun surprise during a pretty typical day. Meanwhile, David Julio, our makeup designer, can’t help but get a little envious of my sleek new chairs. Sorry, David, maybe I’ll let you borrow one?

Before the show starts, I take a tour backstage and have some fun asking the cast and crew what their soap opera names would be. The rule is simple: it’s your middle name and the street you grew up on. Let me just say, the answers are hilarious. And just when I thought the day couldn’t get any better, I remember I picked up a new mustard on my way to work—because who doesn’t love discovering new flavors?

I’m living in Midsommarkransen, a cozy suburb of Stockholm, and working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theatre here in the city. My daily routine always includes uploading a video to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads, as well as posting the oldest photo on my iPhone to all of those platforms before deleting it. It’s a fun way to stay connected while keeping my feed fresh and nostalgic all at once!

Elevator Grins with Ulf

This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, taken on October 17, 2023. It captures a candid moment with my longtime friend, Ulf Nordlander, in the elevator of his building. Ulf is wearing his iconic black leather jacket over a mustard yellow corduroy shirt, topped off with sunglasses that give him a cool, effortless vibe. He’s trying to smile, showing his teeth, but it’s one of those “are we really doing this?” kinds of smiles. You know, the ones that make the moment even more authentic. You can spot my arm in the reflection as I snap the picture through the elevator’s mirror, a reminder that I was behind the camera, enjoying this spontaneous interaction.

This photo was taken on a random day, nothing particularly special about the occasion. But moments like these with Ulf always end up being memorable in their own way. There’s something about the confined space of an elevator and a quick laugh that turns an ordinary moment into something worth remembering. The dark, metallic backdrop of the elevator gives the photo an urban feel, while Ulf’s outfit stands out with that perfect blend of rugged leather and vintage corduroy. 


Featuring Ulf Nordlander, this picture captures the little moments between friends that we don’t usually plan but somehow mean so much. We didn’t set out to take this photo; it just happened, and I think that’s what makes it special. It’s not about perfect lighting or the ideal background—it’s about the realness, the laugh behind Ulf’s “forced” smile, and the reminder that sometimes, the best photos are the unplanned ones.


This photo reminds me how important it is to hold onto everyday moments. It’s a reflection of my friendship with Ulf, which spans over three decades, and how those small, random moments help cement the memories we cherish. It’s not just a snapshot—it’s a piece of our ongoing story.

HOW I GOT INTO MICRO FARMING #VeganRecipes #SustainableFashion #Everyda...


In today’s video, I start off by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok, prepping some fun content for all platforms. Then, I head out to recycle some carton—gotta keep things eco-friendly! After that, I stop by the grocery store to pick up a few essentials and swing by the local store to pick up a special delivery—a stunning silver jacket from Rabanne's collaboration with H&M. It's a total statement piece that I can’t wait to style!

Back home, I show you how I make my easy vegan red lentil tofu. It’s a simple, healthy recipe that anyone can try at home. First, I soak 1 cup of red lentils in 3 cups of water for at least 8 hours. Once they’re soaked, I drain the lentils and blend them with 2 cups of fresh water, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 2 tablespoons of Laoganma chili oil for that extra umami flavor. The mixture gets cooked until it thickens into a dough-like consistency, then I let it set for a couple of hours. You can fry it up or enjoy it as is! It’s vegan, gluten-free, and full of plant-based protein—a must-try!

I also give you a peek at how I’m growing sunflower seed sprouts, which is a super rewarding process and adds a nice touch of greenery to my space.

I live in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, where I work as a dresser and costume supervisor for a theatre. My passions include vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and fashion. Every day, I share a new video on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Plus, I post the oldest picture on my phone and erase it—keeping things fresh and a little nostalgic.

"Cozy Layers - October 15, 2023"

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on October 15, 2023, in the hallway of my apartment. The shot captures me rocking a layered cozy look, featuring my white and beige headphones from TIGER OF COPENHAGEN and my bright yellow beanie from NYDEN. I’m bundled up in my thick wooly Bugs Bunny sweater from H&M, which I’m wearing over my matching Bugs Bunny hoodie—double the comfort, double the fun!


 The background adds an artistic flair, with my door showcasing a poster of Marlene Dietrich at Berns in Stockholm. The drawing is by costume designer Mago and comes from the Judiska Museet’s collection. It adds a nostalgic, creative vibe to the photo, reflecting both my love for fashion and my appreciation for theatre and design history.


What I love most about this photo is how it encapsulates my personal style—bold, comfortable, and layered with stories. The combination of streetwear with iconic cartoon nostalgia brings out my playful side, while the elegant poster in the background highlights my appreciation for the artistry of costume design.


This photo was taken during a quiet moment at home, just before heading out, and seeing the poster behind me reminds me of all the amazing shows and designs that inspire me daily. The headphones, beanie, and hoodie combo was perfect for the slightly chilly October weather, creating a warm, relaxed look that’s perfect for fall.


I’m proud of this shot because it reflects both my passion for fashion and my love for mixing different elements of my life into one cohesive moment. The Bugs Bunny gear brings me back to my love for animated characters, while the vintage-inspired poster adds a layer of timeless style.

HOW I GOT MUCH MORE THAN I ORDERED #VeganCooking #SustainableFashion #Un...


In today’s video, I start my day by editing yesterday's Instagram Stories for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. After wrapping that up, I head over to the corner store to pick up a few packages. The first one is super exciting—my new mint-colored hoodie looks amazing on me! I also get a cute Kokeshi doll of Coco Chanel from Lucie Kaas, but to my surprise, the seller Jenny added extra goodies into the box. Along with the doll, she included tea candle holders, a tray, and artificial flowers, making it feel like an early gift!

The next package is something I’ve been looking forward to—it's a see-through bag from TRADERA by Rokh in collaboration with H&M. It’s so stylish and minimal!

After running errands, I hop on my bike and head to my friend Ulf Nordlander's place. We chill out with some vegan pizza while watching *Inventing Anna* on Netflix—such a perfect combo for a laid-back day. Ulf also surprises me with a pair of white high-top sneakers that no longer fit him. And that’s not all—he hands me a tap filter for my kitchen sink and two small ceramic bowls from Sicily! It’s like Christmas came early!

I’m based in Midsommarkransen, a charming suburb in Stockholm, Sweden, and I work as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theatre here. My passions are vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and fashion. Every day, I upload a video to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads, keeping my content fresh by sharing the oldest picture on my phone across all platforms before deleting it. It’s a fun way to keep things nostalgic while moving forward.

"Behind the Scenes with David Julio - October 12, 2023"

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on October 12, 2023, in the makeup and wig department at the theatre. The image captures the makeup artist and wig designer, David Julio, in a fun moment, wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses with a goofy grin on his face. David has been part of the theatre world for decades, having started in 1998. Originally from Boston, he moved to Sweden to study art, fell in love with the country, and decided to stay, making a name for himself in theatre makeup and wig design.


 The photo shows David in his element—surrounded by wigs, brushes, and makeup tools—but the oversized sunglasses bring a playful touch, showing his lighter side. The theatre setting is full of creativity, and this moment captures that sense of fun amidst the hard work. The clutter of wigs and makeup supplies in the background adds a touch of authenticity, revealing a glimpse of the daily hustle behind the scenes of the shows.


I love this photo because it reflects David’s vibrant personality, his humor, and his dedication to his craft. It’s a snapshot of the camaraderie we share in the theatre world, where moments like these lighten up long workdays. The fact that David has been with the theatre for so long makes this image even more special—it’s a reminder of his journey from Boston to Stockholm, and his passion for transforming actors through his artistry.


This photo means a lot to me because it reminds me of the joy and creativity that thrive in the theatre. We may be busy with costumes, wigs, and makeup, but moments like these remind us to take a breath and enjoy the ride. It’s also a little glimpse into the fun chaos that happens behind the curtain, where talented artists like David bring characters to life.

HOW I GOT MY TOOTHPASTEY HOODIE #VeganLife #SustainableStyle #TheatreLov...


In today’s fun and productive video, I start the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. It’s always satisfying to see how the content comes together across platforms. Afterward, I hop on my bike and head to Rusta to exchange my CO2 cannisters for my soda machine. On the way, I make a quick stop to recycle some paper—feeling eco-friendly and productive! 

At Rusta, the Christmas and Halloween decorations are already in full swing, which gets me excited for the upcoming holidays. I pick up seven small terra cotta pots for my sunflower seed sprouts. It’s an ongoing project of mine—can’t wait to see them grow! Then, I swing by to pick up a parcel from H&M, as well as a package from VINTED. The VINTED purchase is a second-hand coat from the LANVIN X H&M collection—a rare find!

H&M has a collaboration going on right now with Ev Bravado and Téla D’Amore, featuring the art of Basquiat. The pieces aren’t selling that well, as is often the case with H&M collabs, so I snagged a mint green hoodie on sale and a black cotton knitted sweater with Basquiat graffiti printed on it. I’ve also been eyeing a sold-out hoodie from the Annamika Khanna collaboration with H&M for a while, and finally, I managed to get my hands on it!

In the evening, I have a FaceTime call with my friend Magnus, catching up on life and sharing some laughs. It’s a great way to unwind after a busy day.

I live in Midsommarkransen, a cozy suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, and work as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theatre in the city. My passions are vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and personal style.
