HOW I GOT MY VREELAND ALLURE #TheatreLife #VloggersUnite #BehindTheScene...


In this video, come along for a day in my life as I kick things off editing yesterday’s IG stories into a Reel, ready for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Getting everything just right is my favorite way to start the day, and it feels good to see the clips come together with that perfect flow. Then, it’s off to the bookstore to pick up a new gem for my collection: *Allure* by Diana Vreeland! So excited to start this one. I was hoping another book I ordered would be here, too, but it looks like I’ll need to keep the suspense going until it arrives later in the week!

Next stop? The theatre! Today’s backstage fun was all about discovering everyone’s “fairy names” by adding “Bell” to the first three letters of each person’s name. I’m JoaBell, and I’m sure that one’s going to stick! And how exciting—Nils Weibull, who usually stays with the ensemble, is taking over as understudy for Zac today. He’s on stage with the leads, and of course, he was fantastic! This cast always gives their best, and everyone is in high spirits—Emilia and Petter even have a fun rivalry going with Per, the three actors who’ve never missed a show, challenging each other to keep the streak. Meanwhile, Hjalmar is stepping in to cover for Nils in the ensemble, doing “bits and bobs” to keep the scenes flowing. Theatre life, right?

Back at my apartment in Midsommarkransen, I’m keeping up with my daily tradition of sharing the oldest pic on my iPhone, posting it across all my platforms—Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and YouTube. It’s a fun little way to keep my feed both fresh and nostalgic, while also decluttering my phone!

Make sure to hit that “follow” button if you love seeing the behind-the-scenes, creative moments, and daily theatre life in Stockholm. Can’t wait to see you there! And don’t forget to drop your fairy name in the comments!

CITRON CITRON CITRON CITORN av SAM STEINER med KANVAS SCENKONST på FRI SCEN




Om föreställningen 

Citron citron citron citron citron är en fängslande och tankeväckande pjäs som utforskar kärlekens dynamik, kraften i ord och vilka vägar man ska ta för att förändra ett samhälle. Föreställ dig en värld där regeringen har infört en lag som begränsar vad en medborgare får säga till endast 140 ord per dag. Hur skulle vi uttrycka kärlek, ilska, sorg och glädje med en sådan begränsning?

Bernadette och Oliver är ett ungt par som försöker navigera sina liv och sitt förhållande i denna nya, ordknappa verklighet. En berättelse om att säga det som verkligen betyder något i ett samhälle där varje ord är dyrbart. Det är inte bara en komisk kärlekshistoria, utan också en skarp kommentar om frihet, censur och vad det innebär att verkligen bli förstådd.

Detta är första gången Sam Steiners pjäs Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons spelas på svenska.

Med stöd av Svante Bergströms teaterstiftelse.

Tack till Queens Head och The Node.

What if…Pink Glitter Could Capture Theatrical Magic?

 Here’s a throwback to November 9, 2023, the oldest photo on my phone, taken backstage at the theatre! This shot features my colleague David Julio, as seen through the Photoleap AI filter “Popstar,” which adds a dreamy pink and glittery overlay that transforms every detail into something fantastical. David put on his glasses upside down for a bit of fun in the photo, making the moment even more memorable and cheeky. I wish I still had the original so I could show you just how striking the filter’s transformation really is!



David Julio has been an essential part of our theatre’s makeup and wig design team for the last 26 years, first joining us for *Guys and Dolls* in 1998. His expertise and creativity have been instrumental in bringing countless characters to life on stage. Working with David has always been a source of inspiration; his passion for theatre and his sharp humor make each day backstage more colorful. He’s a true artist who doesn’t shy away from playfulness, as you can see in this photo.


This is the result of me asking CHATGPT to make a picture of the text on this page. It answered: "Here’s the image capturing that playful, glittery theatre magic! The dreamy pink overlay and sparkling details highlight the backstage joy and creativity you described. Let me know if you’d like any adjustments!"


The atmosphere backstage is always buzzing, and this picture perfectly captures a lighthearted moment amidst the intensity of show prep. Using this “Popstar” filter is my go-to for video title pages since it adds such a vibrant, nostalgic vibe. This photo brings back memories of many laughter-filled days with David and the entire crew.

HOW I GOT MY LAVENDER SCENTED SHOWER OIL #DailyContent #CreativeLifestyl...


Today started with editing yesterday’s stories for Reels, YouTube, and TikTok—just some normal day-to-day stuff for a content creator! I mean, who doesn’t love a morning of reliving yesterday’s highlights to share today? Well, it took me a little longer than planned, and by the time I finished, it was pretty much evening. So, I hopped on my bike, zipped into my Shania Twain-inspired leopard hoodie, and pedaled off to visit my friend, Martin Johansson.  

Martin recently got a brand new bike (a thoughtful gift!) that needed a bit of attention, like giving those tubes some air. Once pumped up, that bike was smooth sailing! Martin turned 45 recently, so his family got him an air fryer – naturally, we had to test it out. There’s nothing like homemade air-fried French fries, crispy and golden. It’s the simple things in life that make an evening memorable, right?  

Oh, and a mini unboxing moment – Apotea delivered my new shower oil from Rapsodine. The lavender scent is already making shower time feel like a little spa getaway.  

A bit about me – I’m living in Midsommarkransen, a suburb just outside Stockholm, working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a Stockholm theatre. My daily routine includes uploading a video to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads, sharing snippets of my life, and then posting the oldest photo on my iPhone to all those platforms before deleting it from my phone. It’s my little way to keep things nostalgic yet fresh.

What if...Sequins Could Talk?

This snapshot, taken on November 6, 2023, captures my longtime friend Ulf Nordlander striking a pose in my living room, rocking a silver sequin jacket from Zara. Ulf and I go way back – we met in the late 80s, shared some unforgettable times, drifted for a while, and then reconnected after he moved into an apartment just a few blocks from my old place. Here, he's truly embracing the sparkle, posing like a pro in sequins that catch every bit of light in the room. Zara tends to release a new sequin jacket each year around Christmas, and I make it my mission to grab one, though I’m not sure if this particular one is from my secondhand finds or one I bought straight from the store.

In one of the photos, he appears to be wearing a metal-studded leather headband, but it’s actually just a bracelet perfectly placed to add that edgy touch. The lighting in my living room adds to the photo’s glamour, and there’s an effortlessly cool vibe as Ulf strikes poses, letting the jacket do its shimmering work. 


This shot is more than just sequins and style – it’s a piece of our history. It's funny how friendships can ebb and flow but remain, and this photo reminds me of all those moments we’ve shared, then and now. That silver jacket might be a seasonal staple, but friendships like ours are timeless.

HOW I GOT TO BE SHANIA TWAIN #theaterlife #veganliving #creativehustle #...


In this video, I start the day editing my Instagram Stories from yesterday to turn them into content for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. Once I finish editing, I get online to hunt for some shower oil—specifically, Raspodine's lavender shower oil. After a good amount of searching, I finally find that Apotea.se, a Swedish drugstore, has the best deal. Score! But the shopping adventure doesn’t stop there. I switch over to try and buy a dupe perfume from Essencevault, but it turns into a bit of a mess. I can’t remember which perfume is which, and after some frustrating attempts to place an order, I give up on that mission for now.

To recharge, I treat myself to a delicious vegan lunch of red lentil tofu. Then it's time to film another installment of *Swedish Word of the Day*! Today’s word, suggested by ChatGPT, is “Päronklyftor” (pear wedges). Super fun to record, and I hope everyone enjoys learning it!

After that, I hop on my bike and head over to my friend Ulf Nordlander’s place. Since I recently discovered the cocktail Kamikaze, I bring along some limes and a bottle of triple sec, trusting that Ulf’s got the vodka. Sure enough, we whip up some cocktails, eat poke bowls, drink wine, and finish the last episode of *Inventing Anna* on Netflix. The Kamikaze was a hit—Ulf loved it!

So, a fun and productive day! I live in Midsommarkransen, a cozy suburb of Stockholm, and I’m working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theater in Stockholm. My days are filled with vlogging, vegan cooking, theater, and style. I upload a new video to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads daily. Oh, and as a fun twist, I always post the oldest photo on my iPhone before deleting it—it keeps my feed fresh with a touch of nostalgia!

Curious to see how I juggle all this? Watch the full video and join the fun!

What if AI Could Capture Every Expression?

These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on November 5, 2023, back in the costume department at the theatre. I’d just discovered Photoleap’s AI filter, so naturally, I decided to put it to the test, experimenting with it in different moods. The result? Four versions of me, each expressing a distinct feeling: incredulous, surprised, smiling, and excited. In these images, I’m wearing a black velour T-shirt with a playful Mickey Mouse pattern from H&M’s collaboration with Disney. 


The wall behind me is a colorful tribute to both theatre and personal pride—decorated with a rainbow pride fan, vibrant artificial roses, sequined fabric, and posters from two productions close to my heart: *Oscarsrevyn* and *My Fair Lady*, both shows where I had the privilege to work backstage, bringing characters to life through costumes. 


Seeing these photos now is like stepping back to that moment of discovery—experimenting with new creative tools, feeling amused at the AI results, and realizing the technology at our fingertips. Each shot is a mini time capsule of curiosity and creativity. For me, these four snapshots show just how much expression can be captured, even with a simple AI filter. They’re reminders of the backstage world where I work, a place where costumes, emotions, and stories mix to create something extraordinary every night.


Who knew that a few quick AI transformations could bring back such a vivid memory? This photo set has become a perfect addition to my ongoing journey of creativity, theatre, and self-expression. Whether it’s testing out a new filter or crafting costumes for the next show, it’s all part of the joy that keeps my feed—and my life—exciting and unique.

HOW I GOT MY FIRST KAMIKAZE #veganliving #dailyroutine #homeinspiration ...


In this funny and entertaining video, I kick off the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. I love starting the day with a bit of creativity! After that, it's time for a small but impactful home change—I switch out the padded bright yellow cover on my IKEA KLIPPAN sofa for a fresh, padded sky blue one. It's amazing how something so simple can completely refresh the vibe of my apartment!

Fast forward to the evening, and I’m having a Facetime with my friend Magnus. That’s when he introduces me to the cocktail *Kamikaze*. It’s a classic! Equal parts vodka, triple sec, and lime juice, shaken with ice or served on the rocks—it’s the perfect balance of tangy and refreshing. Fun fact: The Kamikaze cocktail has its roots in the post-World War II era in Japan. It was reportedly created at a U.S. Navy base bar in the 1940s, and the name "Kamikaze," which means "divine wind," gives it an edge. It became super popular in the 1970s as a party drink and is still a hit today! After our call, I was tempted to try making one myself, and spoiler: it did not disappoint.

Living in my apartment in Midsommarkransen, a lovely suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, I juggle life as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical theater in the city. My passions? Vlogging, vegan cooking, theater, and of course, style. Every day, I post videos on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Plus, I have this fun tradition of uploading the oldest picture on my iPhone to these platforms before deleting it—it’s a quirky way to keep things fresh while taking a nostalgic trip down memory lane.

Curious to see the full day unfold and get inspired to try something new? Hit play and enjoy the ride!

What if... The Mask Wasn't Just a Prop?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on November 4, 2023, during one of the most striking moments in our production. It features the incredibly talented actress Sofia Pekkari, dressed in a red latex bodysuit, wearing a wig and a simple yet oddly creepy mask. She wears this at the very end of the big opening number, and while there’s nothing inherently sinister about the mask—it's just a neutral face—it manages to unsettle everyone who sees it. There’s something about its blank expression, combined with the boldness of the red suit, that gives off a chilling vibe.


 The photo was taken backstage in Stockholm, just after Sofia’s first full run-through in this costume. The dim lighting and the busy stage setting in the background add to the eerie, theatrical feel of the moment. The juxtaposition of Sofia’s intense presence in this bold costume against the chaos and hustle of the backstage world is what makes this image so memorable for me. It’s an image that captures the magic of live theater—the transformation from everyday to extraordinary in just a few steps offstage.


What makes this image even more special is the emotion it evokes. Every time I look at it, I remember the electricity of that night, the nervous excitement in the air, and how even though the mask is just part of the costume, it never fails to make my heart skip a beat. It represents everything I love about working in theater—the unexpected, the powerful visuals, and the emotional rollercoaster that brings us all together.


If you're someone who loves behind-the-scenes moments or enjoys diving deep into the strange, wonderful world of costume and performance, this one’s for you. The mix of surreal and theatrical in this photo is a perfect snapshot of what makes our work so compelling.

HOW I GOT EVERYONE TO TWIST THEIR TONGUE #theatrepeople #dragqueenfun #b...


In this funny and entertaining video, I start the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. After that, I hop on my bike and head to the theatre. Once I’m there, I go backstage before the show starts and have some fun asking the cast and crew a crucial question: “What’s your drag name?” You create it by combining the name of your first pet and the street you grew up on. Let me tell you, these answers are pure gold and you really get to know some unexpected things about people! 

For example, Cicki tells me she grew up in Transylvania! Didn’t see that one coming. Then, Robin Pang shares his drag name: Doris Fish-Path. It’s absolutely hilarious and impossible to say five times fast! I go around challenging everyone to try, and we end up with a lot of laughs and tongue twisters. 

Living in Midsommarkransen, just outside Stockholm, means I’m always close to the action. Working as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical is so much fun, and I love sharing these backstage moments with you all. Whether it's exploring vegan cooking, theatre, or style, I enjoy bringing you along for the ride. Every day, I also upload the oldest picture on my iPhone to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads, and then I delete it. It’s my way of keeping my feed fresh, nostalgic, and full of daily moments.

What if David Julio Was Our Stage Manager?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on October 29, 2023, in the wings, backstage at the theatre. We must have been doing a cover run-through because David Julio, our makeup artist and wig designer, is stepping in as the stage manager for this scene. It’s a part of the show where the stage manager at the cabaret in Berlin hands Fanny a phone and tells her she’s inherited a house. It’s hilarious seeing David in this role because he’s usually behind the scenes creating magic, not delivering lines on stage!  


 David and I have been working together for 17 years, so moments like this are extra special. He’s wearing my old sweater in this photo—a navy Flippa K that I handed down to him a while back. Fun fact: David has a way of turning anything into high fashion, even if it’s just a borrowed sweater!  


The photo captures the essence of backstage life—dim lighting, props scattered around, and that quiet energy of anticipation right before the scene begins. The wings have their own unique atmosphere, a mix of calm and excitement, as we all play our part in bringing the story to life. Seeing David in a different role, while wearing something from my own wardrobe, adds a layer of personal nostalgia to this shot.


This image is meaningful to me because it represents not just the years of collaboration but also the friendship that’s grown over nearly two decades of working side by side. Moments like this one remind me how much fun we have together, even in the middle of a busy show day. It’s also a nice reminder of how theatre isn’t just about the people on stage, but the incredible team behind it.

HOW I GOT ALL SET FOR NEW YEARS EVE #everydayfashion #theatrelife #costu...


In this funny and entertaining video, I start the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories and prepping them for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. After that, I head to my mini indoor garden to harvest some of my recently planted sunflower seed shoots—so satisfying to see them grow! 🌱

Then, we have a little fun with a “Phantasy Character Name” challenge: take the first three letters of your first name and the first three of your last name. Mine? Joaber! What’s yours? 

At the theatre, Simon, our stage manager, hilariously miscalculates the time and calls for soundcheck a whole 30 minutes too early. Oops! The cast gets a little more downtime than expected.

Since today is a two-show day, I take advantage of the break between shows to check out the new drop at H&M. Heron Preston’s autumn and winter collection doesn’t quite speak to me, but I spot some stunning sequin pants and a couple of fab shirts—one covered in rhinestones! I end up buying two shirts (one sequin, one rhinestones) and the sequin trousers. Looks like I’m all set for New Year’s Eve! 💫

Living in Midsommarkransen, just outside of Stockholm, means I’m close to everything I need, including these spontaneous shopping trips! Working as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical is always an adventure, but I make time for my passions: vlogging, vegan cooking, and sharing my style tips with you all. Every day, I upload the oldest picture on my iPhone to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads—and then delete it. It’s my way of keeping my content fresh and nostalgic at the same time.

What If Nathalie Lodell Lived in a Circus?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on October 28, 2023, and it features Nathalie Lodell, an actress and production assistant for our theatre. The photo is run through a Photoleap circus filter, transforming her brown hair into bright, happy colors. The filter has also placed colorful balls in the background, giving the image a whimsical, playful vibe. Nathalie looks like she belongs in a carnival, but in reality, she’s found her dream job acting at Astrid Lindgrens Värld, where she excels in playing Prussiluskan from *Pippi Långstrump*. Her talent for embodying the bossy yet charming character has made her a fan favorite at the park.


 The photo was taken in our backstage makeup room, surrounded by wigs and costumes, but the filter adds a touch of magic to the setting. The focus here is entirely on Nathalie, with the bright colors and circus theme giving her a larger-than-life presence that mirrors her energy both on and off stage. Her expressive face, combined with the whimsical filter, turns this moment into something more fun than your typical behind-the-scenes shot.


What makes this photo special is the way it perfectly captures Nathalie’s lighthearted spirit and love for performance. She brings joy to every room she steps into, and this photo, with its vibrant colors, reflects that personality. Working with Nathalie is always a joy—her dedication to her craft, whether she’s assisting with production or shining on stage, is truly inspiring. 


I love this photo because it highlights the fun, creative environment we work in. We’re not just putting on shows; we’re creating worlds full of imagination and fun. Nathalie, with her infectious enthusiasm and dedication to theatre, represents that spirit perfectly.

HOW I GOT MY GARLIC AND TRUFFLE BREAD #theatrepeople #castandcrew #backs...


In this funny and entertaining video, part two of the day, I’m back at the theatre getting everyone’s “pirate name!” I go around to the cast and crew and ask them to come up with their pirate name by combining “Captain” + the color of their top + the last movie or TV series they watched. The results? Pure gold! It’s hilarious seeing what everyone comes up with, and it gives us all a good laugh between scenes.

Then, I pass over 16 plays to my friend Lisa Sundstedt, who absolutely loves reading plays. These are ones I’d hoped to read but realistically will never get the time for, so Lisa is excited to take them on.

Later, Cicki arrives and surprises us with a treat bag full of her garden-grown apples, plus garlic bread, truffle bread, and some delicious crisps! It’s basically a mini feast, and let’s be real—who doesn’t love snacks before showtime?

Meanwhile, tonight’s performance has a bit of a shuffle going on with the cast. Since Sanna is out, Jenny Holmgren, her understudy, steps into the role, and Jenny’s understudy Hanna steps in for her. This means we’re down a German dancer for the “banana number,” and with Hjalmar out sick too, that’s two dancers down! But Petter and Emilia jump in, covering the empty spaces with style, and it turns out to be just enough. Their energy on stage is fantastic, and they keep everything flowing perfectly!

Living in Midsommarkransen, just outside Stockholm, means I’m always a quick ride from work. Working as a dresser and costume supervisor at the theatre keeps me busy, but I love vlogging, cooking vegan dishes, and sharing my theatre life and style adventures with you. Every day, I upload the oldest photo on my iPhone to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads—then I delete it. It’s my fun way of keeping my feed fresh and nostalgic.

HOW I GOT DAY OLD BREAD #everydaystyle #thriftfinds #sustainablefashion ...


In this funny and entertaining video, I start the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. Then I hop on my bike, ready to head to the theatre, but first, I make a quick stop at ICA Aptiten to pick up some day-old bread. However, when I get there, I discover fresh bread is on sale—score! So I grab that instead; it’ll be “day old” tomorrow anyway, right? 😄

Before ICA, I swing by a pick-up spot for my Sellpy, Vinted, and Tradera orders—three packages with some second-hand treasures inside. Next up, I ride over to Gallerian to grab some air purifier filters from IKEA. It’s getting colder, so today I decide it’s fur-coat weather! I’m wearing my fake leopard fur coat from H&M with my bright yellow COS beanie for a fun pop of color. At IKEA, I get a surprise: the IKEA museum has a pop-up store, so I snag some retro-style coasters with patterns from the legendary Swedish design team Tio-Gruppen.

When I finally get to work, I unbox my second-hand finds: a tartan sweater from H&M Studio’s 2018 collection and a super-soft pale pink shirt from the H&M x Simone Rocha collab. Such good finds, right? Living in Midsommarkransen, a suburb of Stockholm, means I’m always close to these great thrift spots and stores.

After opening my packages, I jump into my role as a dresser and costume supervisor for a Stockholm musical. Vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style are my creative passions, and I love sharing my daily adventures with you all. Every day, I also post the oldest photo on my iPhone to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads, and then delete it. It’s my way to keep my feed fresh and full of little memories.

What If… Gustav Stålstierna Lived in Neon?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on October 28, 2023, featuring Gustav Stålstierna, our sound technician at the theatre. Captured through a Photoleap filter that adds vibrant neon highlights, this image reimagines Gustav as if he’s bathed in the glow of nightlife lights. The filter gives a sense of city energy, contrasting with Gustav's usually understated vibe and dry sense of humor. It’s funny to see him portrayed this way, as he’s someone who keeps things low-key but always knows how to make the team laugh.


 Gustav recently moved to Stockholm from Uppsala with his girlfriend, and before joining our theatre, he worked as a sound technician at Dramaten. This photo was taken in our backstage sound room, a place he knows like the back of his hand. The neon filter adds a playful twist to an otherwise familiar setting, showcasing Gustav in an unexpected, almost surreal light. He’s an expert at what he does, and here, he looks like he could be the star of an underground club, rather than the guy running sound for our productions.


Seeing this filtered version of Gustav is meaningful because it reflects the side of our work that’s often hidden: the camaraderie and inside jokes that keep us going during long rehearsal days. Working behind the scenes together builds a unique bond, and little moments like this remind me of the fun personalities that make theatre life special. Gustav’s humor, paired with his skill, has made him a valuable part of our team, and this photo captures that blend of professionalism and light-hearted fun.


If you love getting a peek behind the curtain, this one’s for you. Theatre isn’t just about what happens on stage; it’s the people behind the scenes that make the magic happen, and they deserve a spotlight too.

HOW I GOT ULF HIS OWN TAG LINE #dailyadventures #friendshipgoals #veganr...


In this funny and entertaining video, I start the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. Then, I hop on my bike to head over to my friend Ulf Nordlander’s place. We’ve known each other since the '80s, so it’s always a fun reunion when we hang out. But first, a quick stop for some grocery shopping, because we’re planning a meal together. 

As I’m biking, the moon is already out, and it’s *so* big and beautiful! Couldn’t resist capturing that magic. Once I arrive at Ulf’s, I whip up a delicious Asian sauce while he supplies the noodles. Classic teamwork! But when I get there, Ulf is vacuuming and has left the door open—then he completely forgot I was coming, so I accidentally scared him when I walked in! The look on his face was priceless.

After we settle in, I film a little *Real Housewives* parody of Ulf, giving him his own fabulous tagline. It was hilarious, and I’m pretty sure Ulf secretly loved it. We end the night watching some Netflix, specifically *Inventing Anna*, and it was the perfect way to wind down.

Living in Midsommarkransen, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, I’m always finding little adventures like this. Between working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theatre, I make time to vlog, cook vegan meals, and explore my love for theatre and style. Every day, I upload a video to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads, and I always post the oldest picture on my phone, then erase it. It’s my way of keeping my feed fresh and nostalgic at the same time.

If you’re into daily life vlogs, vegan cooking, or just love a good laugh, you’ll want to check this out! Follow along for more fun adventures, behind-the-scenes moments, and real-life humor.

What If… David Julio Was Filtered?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on October 28, 2023, and it features my colleague and long-time friend, David Julio, seen through a playful filter. David is an incredibly talented makeup artist and wig designer, someone I’ve worked with for the last 17 years. Originally from the USA, he moved to Sweden in his 20s and has since become a vital part of our theatre team. He’s married to P_M Andersson, a former dancer turned choreographer, and they have a charming country house in the Stockholm archipelago, where they escape for some peace and quiet.


 In this image, David’s face is humorously altered by the filter, making it a quirky version of the person I know so well. The focus of the photo is his expression, which remains lively despite the exaggerated features. We were in the theatre’s backstage makeup room when I snapped this shot, a space filled with the tools of our trade—wigs, brushes, costumes, and makeup. The energy in that room is always buzzing with creativity, and this photo captures a light-hearted moment in the midst of our usually hectic workday.


This image holds special meaning for me because it encapsulates the fun, relaxed side of our work environment. David and I have shared many moments like this over the years—long days of prepping actors, troubleshooting last-minute challenges, and always finding time to laugh. This photo, though filtered and playful, represents the real connection we’ve built through our work.


It’s a reminder of how fortunate I am to work alongside someone like David, who brings not only incredible skill to his craft but also a warmth and humor that make even the most stressful days enjoyable. Seeing him in this fun, filtered version is a nod to the fact that while our work may be serious, the relationships we build are what make it truly special.

HOW I GOT INTO COMPOSING HIT SONGS #creativejourney #aiart #everydaymome...


In this fun and entertaining video, I start the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories, turning them into fresh content for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. It’s all part of the daily grind! Since it's my friend Martin’s birthday, I upload some not-too-embarrassing pictures of him—because what’s a birthday without some photo memories, right? Then, I head out to visit a fancy grocery store, but everything’s so expensive that I end up leaving with just French fries! Not what I had planned, but hey, fries always win.

Next, I upload the oldest picture on my iPhone, which is something I do every day to keep my feed fresh. But this time, I take it up a notch by using ChatGPT and Suno to turn that old picture into a song! Yes, you heard that right—I made a song from a photo! It’s a creative way to blend AI with my content, and it was so much fun to experiment with.

After a productive day of creating, I treat myself to a relaxing evening with a long, hot bubble bath. I sip on a chilled glass of white wine while reading a book, because self-care is just as important as hustling. It’s the perfect way to unwind after a busy day of filming, editing, and creating.

Living in my cozy apartment in Midsommarkransen, a suburb just outside Stockholm, I’m constantly inspired by my surroundings. I work as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theatre in Stockholm, and my passion for vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style keeps me motivated to share my life with all of you. Every day, I upload a video to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads, and I love mixing nostalgia with fresh content by posting the oldest photo from my phone—then deleting it. It’s my little way of keeping things exciting and unpredictable!

AI Fun in the Costume Atelier

These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on October 28, 2023, in the costume atelier at the theatre where I work. They’re all selfies that I took using a funny filter app called Photoleap. This app was awesome for turning a regular selfie into something totally wild using AI! Some filters transformed me into a pop star, while others made me look like a vampire. I used to spend way too much time trying out all the crazy looks this app could create, and it was hilarious to see myself in all these new identities. Unfortunately, the app is no longer free, so it’s bittersweet looking back at these photos.


The subject of the photos is simple: it’s just me, goofing around at work and having some fun with technology. In each selfie, I’m pulling a different expression, trying to match the vibe of the filter I’m testing. Whether it’s channeling my inner rockstar or imagining what I’d look like in a supernatural world, these selfies are pure entertainment.


The backdrop is the costume atelier, where I spend a lot of my time working as a dresser and costume supervisor. In the background, you can see racks of clothes, fabrics, and sewing machines, giving a behind-the-scenes peek into my daily environment. The atmosphere was casual and fun that day—between sewing costumes and organizing fittings, I found a moment to play around with AI filters.


Taking these selfies was a reminder of how important it is to find fun in the small moments of life, even when you’re busy. That day was nothing extraordinary, but these photos became a playful memory. There’s something cool about blending my creative work life with a bit of digital magic, and it’s funny to see myself transformed into all these different characters. 


These photos are meaningful to me because they show that even in the middle of a busy workday, there’s always time for a little fun. Plus, they capture a phase where I was really diving into AI and experimenting with how it can change our perception of self through filters and creativity. 

If you’re into AI, fashion, or just love a good laugh, these pics are for you. Sometimes, it’s the silliest moments that create the best memories.

HOW I GOT A CHILD’S SHIRT BY MISTAKE #veganfood #creativejourney #instad...


In this video, I start the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories, transforming them into awesome content for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. After that, I film a new segment of my ever-popular "Swedish Word of the Day," and today’s word is none other than "toilet"—so get ready for a laugh! After wrapping up that fun little shoot, I head out to meet my friend Lisa at one of my favorite spots, the restaurant SCANDWICH. If you’ve never been, you NEED to check it out! I ordered the sandwich called TO FU**KING DELICIOUS (the name says it all!), and it was truly amazing. I’m definitely coming back for more.

After our yummy meal, we make our way to Kulturhuset Stadsteatern for the show *HÄRLIG ÄR JORDEN*. And here’s a funny twist—we randomly ended up sitting right next to Simon, our colleague who works as a stage manager. What a fun surprise! The show was great, but I wasn’t a big fan of how it ended. I felt like it took the easy way out, but overall it was a cool experience. 

Before meeting Lisa, I made a quick stop to pick up a Comme des Garçons x H&M shirt I ordered from Vinted. Here’s the kicker: I accidentally ordered a kid’s size! LOL! So, guess I’ll be heading back to find another one that fits.

Living in my apartment in Midsommarkransen, just outside of Stockholm, means I’m always close to the action. I work as a dresser and costume supervisor at a theatre in Stockholm, so I’m always on the go. Between vlogging, cooking vegan meals, and sharing my passion for theatre and style, my life is full of creativity and adventure. Every day, I post a new video on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Plus, I upload the oldest picture on my iPhone to my feeds and then erase it from my phone—a fun way to keep my content fresh and nostalgic at the same time.

Me as a Doll: The Oldest Photo on My Phone

This photo, taken on October 25, 2023, is the oldest one on my phone. It’s an AI-generated image created using the Photoleap app, a tool I used frequently until they changed their policy. The app used to allow limited free usage every hour, but now it's pay-to-use. I’ve since moved on to explore other free apps, but this image stands out as a fun memory. 


 The photo depicts me reimagined as a doll—one of those action figure types, reminiscent of muscle-bound superheroes like Superman, Batman, or even the Hulk. The doll version of me has exaggerated features and a superhero-like physique, bringing a playful, larger-than-life interpretation of what I’d look like as an action figure. It’s a quirky fusion of technology and imagination, blending AI creativity with a nod to pop culture icons.


In the background, you can see a subtle, minimalistic setting that helps highlight the doll-like figure. The photo has a light, almost studio-like feel, where the focus is entirely on this superheroic version of myself. The atmosphere is lighthearted and whimsical, making the experience of creating it even more enjoyable. 


This image holds personal significance because it captures a moment in time when I was exploring AI art tools and pushing creative boundaries. It’s funny how a random app can turn something so ordinary—like a selfie—into something extraordinary. Even though Photoleap has changed, this image marks a creative phase in my life and a sense of curiosity about what AI can do.


Looking back, this photo brings up memories of experimenting with different apps and how fun it was to see yourself through the lens of AI, where your identity can be molded and transformed into something totally unexpected. It’s not just a photo—it’s a snapshot of a creative journey that started with simple curiosity and led to a fun, tech-driven artistic discovery.

HOW I GOT MY PEACOCK SLIPPERS #VeganFoodLovers #StockholmLife #SecondHan...


In this funny and entertaining video, I start my day by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Instagram Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. Then, I hop on my bike and pick up a package – a pair of secondhand slippers I’ve been looking forward to! After that, I head into Odenplan, where I meet my friend Martin at Upplandsgatan for dinner at *Le Kebab*. Since Martin’s birthday is just two days away, I got him a gift – a shirt jacket from Marni's collaboration with H&M! 🎁 Martin was thrilled with the gift, and we had a great time catching up. Fun fact: Martin’s on a diet because he’s off to Spain in a few weeks, and there are rumors about him swimming in Speedos. 🌞

The vegan kebab at *Le Kebab* was so delicious, definitely worth trying if you're ever in the area! 🌱 Afterward, we headed to *Aliasteatern*, where I was invited by *Teater Lycke* to see their production *A PIECE OF SHIT ON EARTH*. The show was fantastic – funny, positive, and a little bit quirky, just the way I like it! After the show, Martin and I walked from Odenplan to T-centralen, chatting about everything from theater to travel, before saying goodbye as he caught his tube home.

Life in Midsommarkransen is always busy but fun! When I’m not working as a dresser and costume supervisor at the theatre in Stockholm, I’m vlogging about vegan cooking, theatre, and style. Every day, I post a new video on Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Plus, I upload the oldest picture from my iPhone to my feed for a bit of nostalgia before deleting it. It's a fun way to keep my content fresh!

Don’t forget to like, comment, and share if you enjoyed this video! Let me know in the comments: What's your favorite way to celebrate a friend’s birthday? 🎉

Kamikaze


The Kamikaze cocktail is a bold, tangy, and refreshing drink that became popular in the 1970s and 1980s, often associated with the rise of cocktail culture in that era. Named after the Japanese word for "divine wind," the Kamikaze is a potent and straightforward mix of vodka, triple sec, and lime juice, known for its balance of citrusy tartness and sweetness with a solid alcohol backbone.

 I part vodka, 

1 part lime juice,

1 part triple sec, 

### Preparation:

To make a Kamikaze, simply combine all the ingredients in a cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well until the mixture is thoroughly chilled, then strain it into a chilled martini glass. You can also serve it over ice in a rocks glass if you prefer it as a more casual drink. Some bartenders garnish the cocktail with a lime wedge to enhance the citrusy flavors.

The Kamikaze is often described as a vodka-based version of the Margarita, given its similar use of citrus and triple sec. However, the clean flavor of vodka gives it a sharper, more intense profile. It's also a versatile cocktail, enjoyed both as a shooter and as a sippable drink. 

Due to its simplicity, the Kamikaze lends itself well to variations. You might encounter versions that swap out lime for lemon juice or add a splash of cranberry for a pink "Raspberry Kamikaze." Despite its somewhat aggressive name, this cocktail is approachable, with a bright, zesty kick that makes it a popular choice for those seeking something both strong and flavorful.

**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 A...
