HOW I GOT NO CHRISTMAS DINNER AT STUFVENÄS GÄSTGIVERI

Waking up in my parents' cozy home in Mörbylånga, Öland, 🌅 I start the day trying to get the perfect establishing shot. But of course, mamma surprises me by breaking into song! 🎤🎶 We hop into the car 🚗 and head to Stufvenäs Gästgiveri, a spa that I had high hopes for… but let me tell you, my vegan Christmas dreams were crushed. 😩🎄

Despite calling ahead to ensure they'd cater to vegans (they promised!), I quickly learned otherwise. 🙄 The hotel itself was lovely, the room was cozy, but the food situation? A nightmare. 🍽️ Dinner started with fried cabbage and beetroot and potatoes—basically, side dishes disguised as meals. 🥬🥔 I’m just sitting there, longing for a glass of wine I regret not packing. 🍷

What saved the day? A beautiful Christmas present from Irene: rainbow mittens! 🧤🌈 They totally brightened my mood. ✨ 

It wasn’t the holiday I imagined, but it made for one unforgettable (and entertaining) story to share with you all. 😂

NYÅRSKONSERT, STORKKYRKAN GAMLA STAN

 

Sankta Cecilia, kyrkomusikens (och de blindas) skyddshelgon firades den 22 november årligen i slutet av 1600-talet av Londons musiker med banketter och ett nyskrivet ode till helgonets äras. Traditionen föll i glömska men återupplivades 1739 av G.F. Händel som då skrev sin kantat Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day som Storkyrkans Vokalensemble här framför tillsammans med Maria Keohane och Anders J. Dahlin och de barockintresserade medlemmarna i Kungliga Filharmonikerna som utgör Orfeus Barock.

Händel använde texter av John Dryden som tagit fasta på Pythagoras teori om harmonia mundi – att musiken varit en central kraft i världens skapelse. Kantaten kännetecknas av sprudlande kör- och orkestersatser interfolierat av charmerande arior där solisten och instrumentalisten ges stort utrymme till improvisation.

Repertoar:
Arcangelo Corelli Concerto Grosso op. 6 no. 4
Georg Friedrich Händel Let the Bright Seraphim ur oratoriet Samson
Georg Friedrich Händel Ode for St. Cecilia’s Day HWV 76

Storkyrkans Vokalensemble
Susanne Rydén nyårstalare
Maria Keohane sopran
Anders J. Dahlin tenor
Orfeus Barock Stockholm
Gary Graden dirigent

HOW I GOT PACKED, SNACKED AND HOME INTACT

Today’s video is all about packing and traveling in style! 🎥✨ I started my day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories to keep my content fresh. Then, it was time to pack for my trip to Mörbylånga on Öland 🌊, where I’ll spend one night with my parents and two nights at a spa with them and my cousin Carina.  

Packing is always fun but strategic! 🧳 My suitcase, bought secondhand (and looking like a Fisherman’s Friend packet 🤭), is filled with fabulousness: my Giambattista Valli x H&M pearl-decorated loafers (missing a pearl or two, but who cares? 🌟), a black sequin shirt, faux leather pants, puffer slippers, and a cozy IKEA dressing gown. Also coming along: a Rabanne x H&M tracksuit, two Comme des Garçons polka dot tees, slim hangers (a must!), tank tops, swimming trunks, and sunglasses. 😎 Of course, electronics stay outside my bag for the bus trip, and I also prepped a pasta lunch with shaved Brussels sprouts, lemon, and tahini. 🥗✨  

Heading out early, I stopped for peanuts 🥜 and got recognized by the cashier at Coop—how fun! 😊 On the subway to Stockholm Central, I felt the travel excitement building. 🚇 Then I boarded the Silverlinjen bus and scored a seat all to myself! 🙌 During the break, I grabbed two vegan hot dogs 🌭🌭 and spent the ride diving into *The Guncle* by Steven Rowley. 📚 It’s heartfelt, funny, and deeper than I expected.  

Finally, I arrived in Mörbylånga, so ready to spend time with family and relax. 🏡 And after all the fun, I fell asleep immediately. 💤

HOW I GOT READY FOR MY VOYAGE

Rise and shine, and let’s dive into my day! ☀️ First up: editing yesterday’s Instagram stories and prepping my content for all my social media outlets. It’s all about staying ahead of the game, especially with a trip coming up. My secret weapon? A super-productive tactic: upload one video, write the captions, then switch gears—do the dishes, tidy the living room, or some other quick task. Keeps things fresh and prevents burnout!  

Speaking of fresh, I love mixing up my feed with a nostalgic twist. Today, I uploaded the *oldest* picture on my iPhone (you’d love it!) and then erased it. It’s such a fun way to keep my feed authentic, a blend of now and then.  

Lunch? Oh, let me tell you—it was a quick, delicious vegan Asian-inspired dish I whipped up. Who says you can’t eat fabulously when you’re busy? My favorite travel hack is making sure my apartment is spotless before I go. Coming back to a clean and cozy space is pure bliss! So, after recycling all the plastic, cardboard, glass, and metal, I tackled the last bits of tidying before calling it an early night.  

Living in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical, life’s always busy. But vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style keep me inspired! Oh, and if you haven’t tried uploading your oldest iPhone pics to your socials, do it—it’s a game-changer for a fresh and nostalgic vibe.

**What if… My Monkey Wasn’t What I Thought It Was?**

Here it is, the oldest photo on my phone, taken on January 16, 2024 📸. It features a quirky plastic monkey that caught my eye because it resembled the iconic Kay Bojesen wooden monkey 🐵. But this one had a twist—it boasted a *Comme des Garçons*-style heart with a face right on its chest ❤️👀. Naturally, I thought it was a designer collab. Spoiler alert: It wasn’t.  

 Turns out, this monkey was just a cheeky iPhone stand and not a designer masterpiece 😅📱. I’ll admit, it wasn’t my finest purchase, but it’s been surprisingly handy. I’ve kept it around, and now I’m thinking about taking it to work—our dressing room could use some help propping up phones while we binge-watch YouTube videos during breaks! 🎥✨  

Looking back, this photo cracks me up. It’s a little reminder of how not everything has to be perfect or as expected to still have value. Sometimes it’s about embracing the quirks and making the best of what you’ve got 🌀🐒.  

Do you have something you bought that turned out to be *not quite what you thought* but ended up loving anyway? Let’s swap stories in the comments 💬!

HOW I GOT KOLBJÖRN ASSEMBLED

Editing yesterday’s stories is always how I start the day—keeping all my social media running smoothly 🎥📲. Then, off to Ulf's to help flip his bed (his bedroom is newly redecorated, and it looks stunning!). But Ulf wasn’t quite ready when I arrived, so I went home for a bit to unbox my latest mail haul. Best part? A fabulous turquoise and black leopard-print fake fur coat 😍🐆.  

Back at Ulf’s, Lotta showed up with that little dog who bit me on Ulf’s birthday 🐕 (we’re cool now, I think 😂). Bed flipping went smoothly, but then came the Kolbjörn cabinet assembly challenge from IKEA 😤🔧. Let’s just say there was a lot of trial, error, and laughter before it finally came together!  

Later, I wrapped up the day at home with Magnus, sipping on Kamikaze cocktails 🍸—limey, boozy, and the perfect way to unwind after a day like this.  

Life in Midsommarkransen is always eventful! Between my job as a dresser and costume supervisor at a Stockholm theatre, daily vlogs, and my random adventures, there’s never a dull moment 💫. PS: Don’t forget to check out today’s oldest photo on my iPhone—it’s a tradition that keeps my feed fun and nostalgic 📸✨.

**What if Walls Could Talk?**

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on January 12, 2024, in front of the wall of the apartment building where I live. It’s a selfie, and I’m looking happy and a little surprised—maybe because I felt particularly cute that day or simply because the moment felt worth capturing.  

 I’m bundled up for the Stockholm winter, wearing my trusty headphones from Tiger of Copenhagen 🎧, a cozy beanie from some random sports store 🧢, and a scarf from Lush that I picked up during a London trip 🧣. But the real star of the outfit is my Moschino x H&M CD-patterned parka 🎵🖤, which I scored second-hand—either on Vinted or Sellpy (I honestly can’t remember which, but it’s a gem!).  

The photo doesn’t reveal much about where I was heading, but knowing myself, I probably thought, “Hey, I look good today, let’s take a quick selfie!” 📸. The wall behind me is the same one I pass every day, but somehow, in this snapshot, it feels like a subtle co-star—witnessing a fleeting moment of joy and confidence.  

This photo is meaningful because it captures an ordinary yet perfectly delightful moment. It reminds me of how much I appreciate putting together outfits that feel uniquely me, finding pre-loved treasures, and savoring the little sparks of happiness in my daily life.

**What if Scents Could Tell Stories?**

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on January 11, 2024, in my bedroom. It captures a quiet but meaningful moment where I’m holding up two perfumes from the iconic French house of Caron: *Pour Un Homme* and *Yatagan*. Both fragrances are rich in character, heritage, and personal meaning, and I love how they reflect completely different sides of my personality.  

 The setting is simple—just me, my perfumes, and the cozy backdrop of my room. But the real focus is on the scents themselves. *Caron Pour Un Homme*, with its calming lavender and creamy vanilla base, is timeless and effortlessly elegant. It’s a fragrance that makes you feel grounded, classic, and composed. On the other hand, *Caron Yatagan* is bold, daring, and unconventional, with its herbal, woody notes that evoke a walk through an ancient forest. Together, they represent two facets of who I am—refined yet adventurous.  

This photo takes me back to a day of reflection. It’s not just about the perfumes; it’s about the memories and moods they evoke. Holding these bottles reminds me of the stories I carry with me, the moods I choose to express, and how scent can transform an ordinary day into something extraordinary.

HOW I GOT MY TEETH CLEANED AND A GREAT PARTY

In this funny and entertaining video, I kick off the day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media outlets 🎥📲. After getting my content polished, I head out for a dental hygienist appointment 🪥🦷—nothing like starting the day with a sparkling smile!  

Next stop is the dry cleaners in Midsommarkransen 🧺✨, where I pick up the costumes for work. With errands done, I head back home to get glammed up for the evening 🏡💎. Tonight’s outfit is all about drama: black sequins, bold jewelry, and a fabulous fake fur—all from H&M ✨🖤.  

Why? Because I’m off to a party! 🎉 The amazing actor Robert Gustafsson has invited me, and I’m meeting up with my coworkers David, Sabina, and Git at Liljeholmskajen 🌆. The plan was to start at a bar, but when we got there, it was closed! 😅 So, we improvised and grabbed a beer at Brödernas, a cozy hamburger restaurant 🍔🍻, before heading to the main event.  

The party vibes are on point, and it’s a joy to celebrate with friends and unwind after a busy day 🌟🎭. This video is packed with everyday adventures, glam prep, and a fun night out, showing the balance of work, creativity, and a touch of sparkle in life ✨🌈.

HOW I GOT CHATGPT TO HELP ME BE INTERESTING

Starting the day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories has become my little morning ritual 🎥☕. Today, I needed some inspiration for my stories, so I asked ChatGPT for ideas, and let me tell you—it delivered! First, I re-enacted my video-editing routine 🎬, then shot a cute boomerang of me sipping coffee ☕✨.  

Next, I did a little “show and tell” with my H&M designer collaborations: a Rokh x H&M piece, my stunning Giambattista Valli x H&M hat, and a fun Moschino x H&M faux fur boa. Of course, there’s also a transition clip where I snap my fingers and—boom—I’m fully dressed and fabulous 💃✨.  

For the grand finale, I filmed an “unboxing” segment with some treasures I snagged off Sellpy 📦, because nothing beats the thrill of secondhand gems. And in between it all? I whipped up the yummiest vegan Brussels sprout pasta with garlic and lemon 🥦🍋. Super quick, super delicious—Ulf gave it a 10/10 when we had it together later while watching TV 📺❤️.  

I love combining creativity with simplicity, whether it’s editing, dressing up, or cooking. This video was all about finding joy in the little things and showing how you can turn an ordinary day into something fun and inspiring.  

How do you get creative on days when you feel stuck? Let me know in the comments! And if you want the recipe for the pasta, just DM me—I’m happy to share 😋!

HOW I GOT A CLEAN TUB & A KAMIKAZE

Some days are packed with plans, and then there are days like today—where I start with nothing on the schedule for the first time in ages… or so I thought 😅. Turns out, I had one task: drop off a pleated blue skirt from the show I’m working on at the dry cleaners 🎭👗.  

It’s raining 🌧️, so after my quick errand, I return home quite soaked and ready to tackle a project: organizing my walk-in closet. My collection of H&M designer collaborations is getting a proper chronological overhaul, starting with Karl Lagerfeld and ending with Kalmika Khana. I also take this chance to declutter and roll my clothes into neat, space-saving sausages—did you know that’s the best way to store them? 🧳✨  

Next, it’s cleaning time! 🛁 I scrub my bathtub with my trusty Scrub Mommy 🧽 and The Pink Stuff, which makes it sparkle. With the tub ready, I reward myself by mixing one of my favorite cocktails: the Kamikaze 🍸. Equal parts lime juice, triple sec, and vodka—a dangerously good mix. I serve it in my martini glass from The Strand in NYC, etched with Dorothy Parker’s iconic line:  

“I like to have a martini,  

two at the very most,  

three I’m under the table,  

four I’m under the host.”  

Afterward, it’s bubble bath time! 🛀 Using the Baylis & Harding Lemongrass & Ginger soak (a gift from the lovely Karen Tatt) and lighting my Bathtime Bliss candle 🕯️, I indulge in some well-earned relaxation. A perfect end to a productive, yet laid-back, day 💆‍♀️✨.

HOW I GOT A BANGER AND A TOUR

Today starts with me editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media outlets 🎥✨. Then I jump on my bike 🚴‍♂️, wearing my fabulous silver sequin puffer jacket from Zara (bought second-hand on Vinted 🛍️✨), and head to Gamla Stan to meet my friend Magnus.  

We decide to grab lunch at BANGER, a luxury hot dog restaurant on Mäster Samuelsgatan 🌭🍴. I try their Z-GERMAN: sauerkraut, pickles, crispy onions, and chimichurri ketchup on a Pork Banger, served in a pretzel bun 🥨. It’s Sweden’s ultimate “wiener arena,” blending amazing flavors with fun and friendship. The vibe is chic yet playful, and the menu is full of creative twists, from basic classics to indulgent gourmet options like lobster and truffle mousse-topped hot dogs. BANGER even hosts fun events like “Bubbles and Bangers” every Wednesday 🥂.  

Next, we explore the Hallwylska Palatset 🏛️, a stunning late 19th-century city palace turned museum in Stockholm. Its lavish interiors and fascinating history take us back in time as we attend a charming Christmas reenactment 🎄✨. The palace is a treasure trove of art, antiques, and holiday magic, making it the perfect festive outing.  

Life in Midsommarkransen keeps me busy, but adventures like this remind me how much I love sharing everyday joy with all of you ❤️. Whether it’s glittery jackets, gourmet hot dogs, or historic palaces, every moment is a chance to celebrate creativity, style, and good vibes.

HOW I GOT THROUGH A SECRET PHOTO SHOOT

Starting the day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media outlets 🎥✨—it’s part of the creative grind that keeps me inspired. After that, I hop on my bike 🚴‍♂️ and head to the theatre 🎭, where today’s mission begins: packing up everything I need for a *super-secret* photo shoot 📦🤫.  

While I’m prepping, DAVID, our amazing makeup artist 💄, is enjoying his thawed tikka masala 🍛 (frozen meals for the win, right?). Naturally, I ask him to improvise a hilarious commercial 🎤, and we can’t stop laughing 😂. His quick wit always brightens the day!  

Then it’s off to Mats Bäcker’s photo studio 📸 in a cab 🚖, with our gear and all the excitement for the shoot. Once there, it’s all hands on deck as we get our secret stars ready for their close-ups 🌟. Between the cameras flashing, the energy on set, and the incredible teamwork, it’s a long but deeply rewarding day 💪❤️.  

Life in Midsommarkransen may start with a bike ride or a laugh at the theatre, but every day takes me somewhere new. Whether it’s creating magic behind the scenes or sharing it with you, it’s all about celebrating the little moments that make life extraordinary ✨.

**What if… I Took the Subway?**

Throwback to January 6, 2024—the oldest photo on my phone! It’s a selfie of me sitting on the subway 🚇📸. Judging by the timestamp (10:00 AM), I was probably heading to the theatre for another magical day 🎭✨. This particular morning must have been snow-packed ❄️, as my usual bike commute was out of the question 🚴‍♀️❌.  

In the photo, I’m wearing my acid green beanie 🟩🧢 and my favorite silver sequin puffer jacket from Zara 🌟, a second-hand treasure I scored on Vinted 🛍️♻️. It’s my go-to piece for staying stylish and warm, even in Stockholm’s icy winters 🥶. The setting? A classic Stockholm subway car, with that familiar hum of morning commuters and frosty windows in the background 🚉✨.  

This was during the second season of the musical I work on, which was in full swing and going gangbusters 💃🎶! As a dresser and costume supervisor, my days are often fast-paced and full of creative challenges 🎨👗. But this candid subway moment reminds me of how essential the journey is, not just the destination 🌍💭.  

Looking back, I’m struck by how this ordinary commute represents my love for layering life with creativity—whether it’s my wardrobe, my work, or my everyday adventures 🎨🚀. There’s beauty in the simplicity of a quiet subway ride, dreaming of the day ahead 🌟❤️.

HOW I GOT THE LAST PIECE IN PLACE

Starting the day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media outlets—it’s how I keep my creative flow going 🎥✨. After that, I finally roll out of bed, still feeling the effects of last night’s Christmas break party at the theatre. Let’s just say, the tired vibes are real 😴🎭.  

Now, onto my sunglasses obsession 😎. I collect special H&M designer collab shades—Karl Lagerfeld, Marni, Lanvin—you name it. To display them, I’ve put up IKEA picture ledges near my bathroom. But I’ve got a dilemma: I need more ledges, and IKEA stopped making them. Tragic, right? 😩 Until… while cleaning the spices in my kitchen (yes, really), I discover a forgotten ledge! Cue instant happiness 🥳.  

Fast forward to the evening, and it’s cocktail o’clock 🍹. I FaceTime my friend Magnus, but first, I make a Kamikaze cocktail 🍸. While mixing, inspiration strikes: why not create a Kamikaze song? Using ChatGPT and Suno, I whip up a track that’s surprisingly great 🎶. Magnus joins the call with his Ocean View cocktail, and we dive into all the fun—voice cloning experiments and plans for a New Year’s concert at Storkyrkan 🕊️🎶.  

The night ends with plans to visit Magnus and relive old travel adventures through our videos 🌍📼. Every day in my Midsommarkransen apartment is full of surprises, from theatre life to quirky personal projects.

**What if Backstage Was the Main Stage?**

The oldest photos on my iPhone, taken on January 6, 2024, capture the electric energy of the cast backstage at the theatre. But there’s a twist: I’ve added quotes from the show onto these candid snapshots. The result is a blend of raw moments and theatrical humor, giving you a unique peek into the world behind the curtain. 

These images reveal the beauty of backstage life—costumes mid-adjustment, last-minute line rehearsals, and the perfect mix of chaos and camaraderie. It’s a place where laughter meets focus and creativity thrives in every corner. Layering the show’s quotes over these moments turns them into timeless pieces, celebrating the art of storytelling and spontaneity that make live theatre so magical.  

The photos are filled with vibrant costumes, quirky props, and the hum of pre-show rituals. They remind me why this world feels like home—it’s not just about the drama on stage, but the incredible teamwork and joy behind it.  

For me, these snapshots are more than just memories. They’re a tribute to everyone who pours their heart into making live theatre come alive. They highlight the charm of imperfections and the collective effort that transforms a vision into reality.

SNICKRA SNICKRA...

In this funny and entertaining video, I captured a moment that had everyone at the Christmas dinner laughing out loud! After the last show of the year, the male ensemble got up during the dinner to perform their hilarious take on the women’s famous number from the show. While the original is called *Sticka, Sticka* (Knit, Knit), their version was named *Snickra, Snickra* (Hammer, Hammer). It’s such a clever parody, complete with exaggerated moves and over-the-top enthusiasm.  

The male ensemble—Hjalmar Freij, Petter Mario Skoglund, Nils Weibull, Denny Lekström, Joakim Jennefors, Martin Stokke Mathiesen, and Pontus Wonkawara—completely stole the spotlight! Watching them hammer and strut around with props was the perfect way to end the season.  

The joy in the room was infectious, with the cast and crew cheering, clapping, and laughing throughout. It’s moments like these that make working in theatre so special—the creativity, camaraderie, and humor that bring us all together.  

This video is a little slice of that magic, giving you a backstage pass to the fun and spontaneity that happens offstage. If you love theatre, humor, or just need a good laugh, you’ll love this clip.

HOW I GOT TO SAY GOODBYE TO GREAT PEOPLE…

The last shows of the year are done, and it’s time to celebrate! In this fun and heartfelt video, the actors are removing their head mics after the final curtain call, while Johanna, David, and I toast with bubbly in the costume shop—a little tradition to mark the end of an incredible season.  

Dinner follows at the theatre’s restaurant, where the mood is both festive and emotional. Speeches and gifts are delivered to the four amazing actors who are leaving the show—Petter Mario Skoglund, Martin Stokke Mathiesen, Sofia Pekkari, and Tommy Körberg. Standing together, listening to their heartfelt words and goodbyes, reminds me of how special this theatre family truly is.  

And then, a magical moment: a Lucia choir serenades us from the other side of the room, their voices filling the space with the beauty and warmth of the season. It’s one of those moments that feels like a scene from a movie.  

Sofia Pekkari closes the evening with a touching speech, a fitting end to a night filled with laughter, tears, and memories we’ll carry with us.  

This is why I love sharing these behind-the-scenes glimpses with you—because the heart and soul of theatre isn’t just on stage; it’s in these moments of connection and celebration.  

Let me know what part of the evening you loved most after watching the video!

HOW I GOT MY FIRST CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

Starting the day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media channels—gotta keep the content flowing! Then it’s decision time: what to wear for the last-show-of-the-season party? Naturally, I go with sequins. Sparkle is life, right?  

Next up, I hop on my bike and head to the theatre, feeling ultra-fab in my pink Giambattista Valli x H&M sunglasses, leopard print beanie, floral scarf, and Simone Rocha x H&M trench coat with a pearl-decorated collar. It’s giving "high fashion meets theatre chic," and I’m obsessed!  

At the theatre, a sweet surprise awaits—a tiny Christmas gift from David, our makeup and wig designer. Inside: a candy cane and two vegan snacks (yum!). I’ve got something for him, too: a mini bottle of bubbly, which I sneak into his room with maximum stealth. From Johanna, our amazing makeup artist and dresser, I receive a limited-edition bottle of glögg and the cutest rainbow Christmas bauble made of beads. The theatre family love is real!  

Today marks the farewell of four incredible cast members—Petter Mario Skoglund, Tommy Körberg, Martin Stokke Mathiesen, and Sofia Pekkari. They’ve been with the show from the start, and their absence will be felt. Petter tells me he’s sad, then shares that if he were an ice cream, he’d be vanilla, and as a soup, minestrone. He even admits he’ll cry during the bows. Same, Petter, same.  

The final two shows go smoothly, with one hiccup—Tuva B Larsen calls out sick, and Hanna Ulvan steps in for the last performance. Talk about ending the season with a bang!  

Every day is an adventure, and I’m grateful to share these moments with you all. Let me know your favorite part of today’s video!

HOW I GOT MY FIRST CHRISTMAS PRESENTS

Starting the day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media channels—gotta keep the content flowing! Then it’s decision time: what to wear for the last-show-of-the-season party? Naturally, I go with sequins. Sparkle is life, right?  

Next up, I hop on my bike and head to the theatre, feeling ultra-fab in my pink Giambattista Valli x H&M sunglasses, leopard print beanie, floral scarf, and Simone Rocha x H&M trench coat with a pearl-decorated collar. It’s giving "high fashion meets theatre chic," and I’m obsessed!  

At the theatre, a sweet surprise awaits—a tiny Christmas gift from David, our makeup and wig designer. Inside: a candy cane and two vegan snacks (yum!). I’ve got something for him, too: a mini bottle of bubbly, which I sneak into his room with maximum stealth. From Johanna, our amazing makeup artist and dresser, I receive a limited-edition bottle of glögg and the cutest rainbow Christmas bauble made of beads. The theatre family love is real!

Tofu, Chickpea tofu, Burmese Tofu,

100 g of dried chickpeas

0,5 tsp salt

250 ml water

1. Soak the chickpeas in plenty of water overnight or for at least 8 hours.  

2. The next day, drain the chickpeas and add them to the pitcher of a high-speed blender along with 250 ml of water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth.  

3. Transfer the blended mixture to a non-stick frying pan and stir in 1/2 tsp of salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat and cook for 2 to 5 minutes, stirring constantly with a spatula. Be diligent, as the starches will settle at the bottom and stick if not continuously stirred.  

4. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens into a paste that no longer levels out in the pan and clings to the spatula. If it’s still too runny, cook it a bit longer.  

5. Once the desired consistency is achieved, transfer the paste to a mold and allow it to set for an hour, ideally in the fridge, before using.  

This is called Tofu, Chickpea tofu, or Burmese Tofu, 

HOW I GOT INCREDIBLE GENEROUS GIFTS…

In this video, I start the day editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories, making sure all my social media outlets are on point. Then it’s time to hop on my bike and head out—it’s Friday the 13th, 2023, and I’ve got an exciting errand to run before work! I pick up the Kenzo x H&M hoodie I ordered, made from scuba fabric, and it’s even better than I imagined. Naturally, I take a moment to model it and share all the fabulous ways it can be styled. From casual days to chic outings, this hoodie is a game-changer!  

At the theatre, I meet Karen Tatt, a die-hard Tommy Körberg fan who’s seen the show more than 30 times—amazing, right? She’s also incredibly generous and gifted me the most fabulous things as a thank-you for my backstage videos: a cocktail mix kit (perfect for mine and Magnus’s New Year’s party), Baylis & Harding’s Goodness Lemongrass & Ginseng bath soap, two Body Shop satsuma soaps, and a Wax Lyrical “Bathtime Bliss” scented candle. So much love for Karen!  

To add a fun twist, I go around asking the cast and crew if anything unlucky has happened to them yet—it’s Friday the 13th, after all! And to wrap things up, David, our talented makeup and wig designer, surprises me by performing the Swedish Christmas song *Sankta Lucia* in sign language. It’s such a heartwarming moment!

**What if Backstage Could Talk?**

These are the oldest photos on my iPhone, taken on January 6, 2024, capturing the electric energy of the cast backstage at the theatre. But here’s the twist: I’ve superimposed quotes from the show onto these candid snapshots. The result? A quirky and captivating mix of raw moments paired with theatrical humor, offering a unique look behind the curtain. 

The photos bring to life the vibrancy of backstage: costumes mid-adjustment, quick line run-throughs, and shared laughter in the midst of organized chaos. The quotes overlaying these images turn fleeting moments into something timeless, blending spontaneity with the deep storytelling that theatre is all about.  

The setting bursts with energy—bright costumes, eclectic props, and the ever-busy cast navigating their pre-show rituals. From the camaraderie of the actors to the magic of teamwork, every detail in these images reminds me why I love being a part of this world.  

For me, these photos are more than just memories; they’re a celebration of theatre’s beautiful imperfections. They highlight the charm of fleeting moments and the heart of everyone who brings the magic to life on stage.

HOW I GOT MY STRANGE BASEBALL HAT

In today’s video, we’re starting the day with a little multitasking magic as I edit yesterday’s Instagram Stories for all my social media outlets. It’s all about that fresh, cohesive content vibe! Then, it’s time to step out in style—cue the Rokh x H&M sunglasses, a Giambattista Valli x H&M leopard print hat, and a Moschino x H&M yellow fur boa. Who says you can’t look fabulous on a bike ride? Off I go to pick up my Sellpy order—H&M treasures galore! I snagged two bags (a cobalt blue stunner and a leopard print shopper), a leather Moschino x H&M baseball cap that was mislabeled and an absolute steal, a Viktor & Rolf x H&M shirt, and a Giambattista Valli x H&M embroidered blue jeans shirt. H&M collabs forever!

Back at the theatre, the day takes a hilarious twist when Johanna brings in a white plastic Christmas tree, adorning it with bananas from the infamous “banana number” in the show. Only in theatre, right? It’s the last Thursday show of the year, and we’re soaking in the backstage buzz. Acrobat Lauge is shadowing Petter to prepare for the spring season, and it’s fascinating to see the handover in action. After the show, I dash to the stage door to witness how fast our actors leave—it’s almost a sport!

Living in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, Sweden, I juggle my life as a dresser, costume supervisor, and daily vlogger. My content blends vegan cooking, theatre, and style. Oh, and I share the oldest picture on my iPhone daily—it’s a fun, nostalgic way to keep my feed lively.

Watch, laugh, and don’t forget to follow for more! Who else loves balancing chaos and creativity every single day?

**What if Theatre Had a Voice?**

These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on January 6, 2024, capturing the vibrant energy of the actors and cast backstage at the theatre. But here’s the twist: I’ve superimposed random quotes from the show onto the images. The result? A fascinating, humorous blend of candid snapshots and theatrical commentary that feels like a peek into the soul of the production.   

These photos were taken during a buzzing show night—costumes being adjusted, lines rehearsed, and laughter blending with intense focus. Each image pairs the chaos of backstage with the drama of the quotes, transforming simple moments into artistic reflections of the theatre’s dynamic energy.  

The photos feature cast members, props, and costumes, all set against the vibrant backdrop of a bustling backstage. The eclectic lighting and creative chaos form the perfect canvas for this unconventional series, celebrating the artistry and humanity of live theatre.  

For me, this project highlights the magic behind the curtain: the camaraderie, the spontaneity, and the extraordinary beauty of ordinary moments. It’s a playful reminder of why I love working in this world—a place where every snapshot holds a story waiting to be told.

HOW I GOT TO SEE WICKED, THE MOVIE...

In today’s video, I kick off the morning by editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media outlets—gotta keep that content fresh! Then, I hop on my bike and head to the theatre, where the new cast of the show I’m working on is in full rehearsal mode. To make the most of the day, we also have a photo shoot happening behind the scenes.  

In the evening, I meet up with Martin for a fun cinema night to see *WICKED*—the movie musical everyone’s talking about! But before the movie, we hit a little snag. Our first choice for dinner, Banger (a fancy hot dog joint), is fully booked, so we pivot and grab a delicious bowl at an Asian restaurant nearby.  

And then, Instagram decides to throw a curveball at me. First, I can’t upload videos, and later, my stories won’t even save to my iPhone’s camera roll. The tech drama is real, but hey, the show must go on!  

Living in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm’s charming suburb, I work as a dresser and costume supervisor for a theatre musical. My days are filled with vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style. Every day, I upload a video and share the oldest picture on my iPhone before erasing it—a quirky tradition that keeps my feed nostalgic and exciting.

**What if Backstage Could Talk?**

These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on January 6, 2024, capturing the vibrant energy of the actors and cast backstage at the theatre. But there’s a twist! I’ve added random quotes from the show, superimposed onto the images. The result? A fascinating and humorous juxtaposition that turns simple snapshots into artistic commentary.  

The photos are from a busy show night, filled with the unique backstage buzz—costumes being adjusted, last-minute lines being rehearsed, and a mix of focus and laughter. By pairing these candid moments with random dialogue, each image takes on a life of its own, blending the drama of theatre with the chaos of real life.  

The photos feature a mix of cast members, props, and costumes, set against the theatre’s backstage—a world brimming with creative energy. The vibrant lighting and eclectic details create the perfect backdrop for this unconventional photo series. 

This project is a playful reminder of the magic that happens behind the curtain. It captures the humanity of the performers, the artistry of the production, and the quirky unpredictability of live theatre. For me, these photos reflect the camaraderie and joy of working in a world where every moment, no matter how ordinary, can become extraordinary.

HOW I GOT MY BEDAZZLING SERUM…

In this fun and entertaining video, I start the day editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for all my social media platforms. It’s my favorite way to kick off the morning—setting the tone for a productive day ahead. Then, I hop on my bike and head into the iconic China Theatre in Stockholm for a secret photo shoot.  

Before leaving, there’s a surprise waiting outside my door—a package from Lyko! Inside is the Multi-Peptide + HA Serum from The Ordinary. A little skincare treat to keep me glowing through the day.  

At the China Theatre, Johanna is running late thanks to the ever-reliable subway delays, so I spend some time exploring. I show off old posters from previous productions—some I’ve seen, others I haven’t. It’s a walk down memory lane and a look at the rich history of this beautiful venue.  

The fun continues as I film an episode of *Swedish Word of the Day* right there in the theatre. After the shoot, we bring everything back to the theatre to prep for an early start tomorrow. But the day isn’t over yet! Back home, I create a playful commercial for my new Kenzo x H&M bag, a perfect way to wrap up a productive day.  

Life in Midsommarkransen is all about creativity, style, and theatre magic. Sharing these moments every day makes my feed feel fresh and personal. If you’re into behind-the-scenes theatre life, fun fashion finds, and a bit of comedy, this video is for you.

What if Dialogue Could Paint Pictures?

These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on January 6, 2024, during a show backstage. They’re not just ordinary snapshots—they’re moments frozen in time, paired with lines of dialogue from the script. The idea is simple: I take a picture, then write down the first line of dialogue I hear before posting it to my Instagram Stories. Somehow, the juxtaposition of the image and the words creates something unexpectedly artistic.  

Backstage is its own little world—a mix of chaos and calm. The photos capture everything from costumes hanging on racks, wigs waiting on stands, to someone adjusting a hem or powdering a nose. The words add an entirely different layer. A line meant for the stage takes on new meaning when placed over these behind-the-scenes visuals. It could be funny, poignant, or oddly profound, depending on the moment. 

Taken at our theatre in Stockholm, these photos hold a personal connection for me. They’re not just about the work I do but the magic of storytelling and the fleeting beauty of live theatre. As a dresser and costume supervisor, I’m often in the middle of this bustling energy, and these pictures remind me why I love what I do.  

Looking at them now, I see art in the mundane. The dialogue paired with the images creates a kind of visual poetry—a tribute to the unsung moments that happen backstage while the spotlight shines elsewhere.

HOW I GOT MY BEGUILEFULLY BIG BAG…

In today’s video, I start the day editing yesterday’s Instagram story videos for all my social media platforms—it’s my morning ritual to keep my feed polished and on point. After finishing up, I hop on my bike and head into the theatre for a fun, secret mission with David and Johanna. Of course, I’m rocking my Karl Lagerfeld pour H&M sunglasses because every adventure needs a touch of glam.  

Once at the theatre, we dive into fittings for the new cast joining us this spring. It’s exciting to see fresh faces and get everything just right for their big debut. Then it’s time to pack—costumes, wigs, and makeup all need to be transported. David and I head over to China Teatern, where tomorrow’s photo shoot is set to take place. Johanna makes a brief appearance, keeping things lively.  

As I step into the China Teatern, I can’t help but reminisce about my time working there during *Chinarevyn*. It’s wild to think about how the space evolves with each show. Right now, the musical *DREAMGIRLS* is lighting up the stage, and it’s always inspiring to feel the creative energy of the venue.  

After the photo shoot prep, I pick up a beautiful KENZO x H&M bag I scored on Vinted. A perfect end to a busy day! Back home in Midsommarkransen, I reflect on how much I love blending my passions for theatre, style, and content creation.
