HOW I GOT MY BOUGIE SCENTED CANDLE


In this video, I start my day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media platforms. Then I hop on my bike and head to the theatre, snow swirling everywhere. It’s eerily quiet—no one’s out yet. I’m bundled up in my Kenzo scarf, staying warm but stylish.  

At the theatre, Lisa Sundstedt pops by just to say hello. She’s brought a Christmas milkshake from MAX, but alas, it’s for her brunch—paired with burgers and fries, of course. Meanwhile, David and I dive into a fun mystery: finding out who Judy Garland’s stand-in was. Guess what? She’s still alive!  

The quick-change area gets an upgrade as Emilia finally gets a radiator installed. Naturally, Hjalmar and Jenny inform everyone that the “weird smell” is just dust burning. During downtime, I go around asking everyone their Roman name, created by adding “-ius” to the last thing they ate. David becomes Pie-ius, while Emma is Candy-ius.  

Between shows, I treat myself to a little retail therapy, snagging a bougie scented candle from Compagnie de Provence. Back at the theatre, I couldn’t resist making a fun, over-the-top commercial for it—because why not?  

Life as a theatre dresser is never dull. From quirky games with the cast to solving Hollywood mysteries, every day has a story.

What if Santa Was an Alligator?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on December 17, 2023, at Dollarstore. It’s a snapshot of my friend Ulf Nordlander holding up a decorative plastic alligator dressed in a Santa suit. The bright fluorescent lights of the store cast a quirky glow, and the festive clutter of shelves in the background creates the perfect chaotic holiday vibe. Ulf’s expression is equal parts amused and bewildered, making this moment unforgettable.  



This alligator Santa? Iconic. It’s one of those decorations that’s so kitsch it loops back around to being cool. We didn’t buy it, but it sparked a ton of laughs and inspired a long conversation about the weirdest holiday decor we’ve ever seen.  


(This image is this text visualized by ChatGPT)

What I love about this photo isn’t just the bizarre charm of a Santa-clad reptile—it’s the memory of a fun, spontaneous day. Ulf and I had been running errands and decided to pop into Dollarstore, where this gem of a decoration caught our attention. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best memories come from the simplest moments.  

Looking back at this photo, I can’t help but smile. It’s a little slice of life, complete with friendship, humor, and the randomness of a holiday-themed gator.

HOW I GOT A MYSTERY SOLVED


In today’s video, I start by editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media platforms—always fun to relive the highlights of the day before! I carefully pick out my Rokh X H&M sunglasses, my favorite accessory lately, and hop on my bike to head to the theatre.  

Yesterday, I scored an amazing Karl Lagerfeld for H&M coat second-hand, and today I discovered treasures in one of its pockets: a card, a napkin, and a receipt. My assistant, Johann Lysdahl, showed her incredible detective skills by piecing together a whole story from these random clues. She’s not just great with costumes—she’s a sleuth in disguise!  

At the end of the day, Johann treated us to an impromptu performance of a song from *Wicked*. It’s moments like these that remind me how much I love working in theatre.  

Back at home in Midsommarkransen, I reflect on how my days always seem to mix creativity, surprises, and a touch of humor. It’s all part of life as a dresser, costume supervisor, and content creator.

What if Backstage Was Its Own Show?

These are the oldest photos on my phone, taken on December 16, 2023, backstage at the theatre. It’s a peek into the incredible world behind the curtain, filled with talent, fun, and a little chaos.  

The first photo captures Jenny Holmgren, an actress who could effortlessly star in *Funny Girl*. Here, she’s wearing her funeral blouse for the show, along with a perfect wig—proof that she can blend humor and heart.  


 The second shot features Sofia Pekkari, rocking a red vinyl bodysuit reminiscent of Britney Spears and pulling a hilarious face. Her energy is unmatched!  


In the third photo, Lindy Larsson looks enchantingly demure during a quick change—a rare moment of calm in the bustling backstage world.  


Next, we have the talented makeup and wig designer David Julio with Hjalmar Freij, dressed in full drag for the top of Act Two. Hjalmar’s transformation is flawless—he truly owns the stage!  



The fifth photo shows David again, holding Hanna Ullvan’s wig while waiting for a quick change at the start of the second act. Behind them, Gustav, the sound operator, checks his phone—a classic backstage multitasking moment.  


Lastly, Joakim Jennefors steps into Tommy Körberg’s shoes as an understudy, complete with the iconic banana hat. It’s a bittersweet nod to the teamwork and dedication that keeps the show running.  


These photos remind me of the magic and camaraderie that happen behind the scenes—moments just as entertaining as the performance itself.

What if Jonas Forgot the Mustache?

This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, taken on December 16, 2023, stage right backstage at the theatre. It captures Jonas Schlyter mid-preparation for the evening’s performance. He’s in full costume as the drag queen with a mustache—though the big, fake mustache hasn’t been added yet, so what you see is 100% Jonas.  

In this moment, Jonas is fastening his extravagant necklace, standing right next to Gustav’s sound station. Strangely enough, there’s no head mic on Jonas—maybe he’s waiting until the wig is on to add it? It’s a little odd. Behind him, on the shelf, you can spot Tommy Körberg’s enormous banana hat, waiting for its turn in the spotlight during the iconic banana number.  


This photo brings back a mix of nostalgia and curiosity. It’s a snapshot of the small backstage rituals that bring theatre magic to life. As someone who works behind the scenes as a dresser and costume supervisor, I love these candid moments that showcase the teamwork, quirks, and details that audiences rarely see.  

The other photo is this text as an image.

HOW I GOT MY MIRACLE WORKER SUNNIES


Today’s video is packed with fun and fashion! I started the day by editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media outlets—always the best way to kick off a creative morning. Then, I headed to the theatre for fittings. These weren’t secret this time, though—our show is going on a short tour this spring and early summer, and we’ve got a new actor joining us. Exciting times ahead!  

It’s snowing and windy, so on my way home, I collected a few secondhand treasures from Tradera and Sellpy. First up: a Karl Lagerfeld x H&M coat. Sadly, it’s too small for me, but at just $7, it’s not a big loss.  

From Sellpy, I scored a haul of amazing items, including a pair of sunglasses from H&M’s Rokh collaboration and a silver faux-crocodile card holder—so chic! I also got an orange-and-pink bag for my iPhone, a snake-print tank top, navy shorts from H&M’s Conscious Collection, and a scarf. I love finding sustainable and stylish pieces like these!  

As always, I’m sharing my daily life, from theatre work to style finds, with you. Let me know in the comments: What’s the best secondhand treasure you’ve ever found?

HOW I GOT MY MODESTY BACK…


In today’s video, I kick things off by editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my platforms. Then, I get some strange news: the shirt I ordered isn’t coming because the seller accidentally cut it up! Definitely a first.  

This is my only free day of the week, and guess what? There’s snow! Not much, but it’s a lovely winter preview. I also show off my bathroom window DIY project—a creative solution to stop bypassers from catching a glimpse of me in the nude while I shower. It involves an old plastic poster, and it works perfectly.  

The highlight of my day? My new sheer cobalt blue T-shirt from H&M’s Mugler collaboration arrives, and it’s everything I hoped for! I’m so excited to style it in future outfits.  

I’m living in Midsommarkransen, a cozy suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, working as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical theatre in Stockholm. My passions are vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style. Each day, I upload a video to my socials and post the oldest picture on my iPhone, erasing it after. It’s a fun way to stay fresh and nostalgic at the same time.  

Who can relate to wardrobe mishaps or creative home fixes? Drop your thoughts below and tell me: what’s your favorite winter arrival?

What if Stories Could Be Found in Snapshots?

The oldest photos on my iPhone are from December 15, 2023, taken at the theatre where I work. The first is a selfie: I’m standing on stage with the theatre’s beautiful auditorium blurred in the background. I’m wearing a black t-shirt with the logo of the musical *Dreamgirls*—a souvenir from when Magnus and I saw it at the Savoy Theatre in London in May 2017. We packed that trip with musicals, and *Dreamgirls* left an unforgettable impression.  



I’ve been bald for years, and honestly, it’s liberating. I used to have long, curly hair, but it was such high maintenance that I shaved it off in my late twenties. By the time I started losing my hair, I was already used to the low-maintenance lifestyle of a shaved head—it’s one of the best decisions I ever made.  


 


The second photo is of the theatre’s stunning auditorium, Oscarsteatern in Stockholm. Known for its elegance and rich history, Oscarsteatern opened in 1906 and has been home to some of Sweden’s most iconic productions. Its Art Nouveau architecture, gilded details, and grand chandelier create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and inspiring. It’s a place where dreams come alive and stories are told in the most magical way.

These photos remind me of my journey in theatre, both as an audience member and as a professional. They’re a testament to my passion for storytelling, whether through stage, screen, or my everyday life as a content creator.

HOW I GOT MY DECORATED BASEBALL CAP


This funny and entertaining video starts with me editing yesterday’s Instagram story videos for all my social media outlets. After finishing up, I hop on my bike and head to the theatre for some secret fittings for an exciting upcoming project (shhh, no spoilers yet!).  

Once home, I pick up a package from the second-hand app SELLPY. Inside, it’s a mix of surprises and delights: all second-hand H&M finds. I unbox a black baseball cap encrusted with gold rhinestones, a silver t-shirt, and a pair of Chelsea boots from H&M’s collaboration with Jimmy Choo. Oddly, there’s also a pair of trousers I didn’t order—oops!  

Next, I film a little video about why everyone needs a black and gold sequin-encrusted baseball cap in their wardrobe. It’s stylish, versatile, and adds a bold touch to any outfit!  

For my Swedish Word of the Day segment, I highlight the word *Ära*, meaning "honor." It’s a powerful word that resonates in so many ways.  

The day winds down with me enjoying a bubble bath and a glass of white wine—a little self-care moment to relax and recharge.  

I live in an apartment in Midsommarkransen, a suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, and work as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical theatre production in Stockholm. My passions are vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style. I share a video every day on my social media and post the oldest picture on my iPhone, erasing it afterward to keep my feed both fresh and nostalgic.

HOW I GOT BETWEEN THE SHEETS


In this fun and entertaining video, my day starts with editing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my platforms. It's a creative ritual that sets the tone for my content. Then, I hop on my bike and head to the theatre for a secret fitting for an upcoming production. I can’t share much yet, but it’s going to be amazing. David, the makeup and wig designer, was also there for a secret wig fitting—it’s all very hush-hush but exciting!

After that, I head home and go online to snag a Kenzo bag for just 30 dollars on Vinted—what a steal! Feeling accomplished, I whip up some red lentil pancakes. They’re so easy, and this time I paired them with cucumber seasoned with za'atar, a Middle Eastern spice blend with thyme, oregano, and sumac. ChatGPT suggested it, and it was spot-on! Seriously, you need to try it.

In the afternoon, I FaceTimed with Magnus. Before our chat, I made a “Between the Sheets” cocktail: equal parts lemon juice, brandy, triple sec, and light rum. It’s such a simple yet classy drink! During our call, Magnus and I decided that our next trip will be to Berlin. To make it more fun, I used Suno, a music AI, to create a song about Berlin—it turned out surprisingly catchy!

Living in my cozy apartment in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, I love how my days combine theatre, style, cooking, and connection. Every day, I share a new video and upload the oldest photo on my iPhone to my socials—it’s such a fun way to keep my feed fresh and nostalgic.

What if... Surfers Took Over Karlstad?

These photos takes me back to December 10, 2023, when my friends Git, Martin, Lisa, and I ventured across Sweden to Karlstad for an unforgettable day at Wermland Opera. Our mission? To see *Hundraåringen som steg ut genom fönstret och försvann*, the new Swedish musical based on the beloved book.  


 The first snapshot captures the moment we stepped off the bus in Karlstad. With "GO BANANAS" glaring at us from a wall, Martin, Git, and Lisa embraced the chaos, striking bizarre surfer poses. It was a perfect start to a day filled with quirky moments, like Martin’s now infamous backpack (which we later learned couldn’t come inside due to bomb threat precautions!).  



From there, things got theatrical. Lisa nailed her pose at the theatre’s selfie point, complete with a vintage suitcase provided by the venue. Then came Git, chewing on a fake stick of dynamite, and Martin clutching the same prop, his face a picture of mock fear.   
 


 



Between all the antics, we found time to wine and dine at the theatre restaurant. There’s even a snap of us doing a collective thumbs-up, me rocking my Giambattista Valli x H&M t-shirt under a silver sequin jacket.  
 




The stage photo from the first mezzanine has its own magic, a quiet moment before the show stole the night. And the final pic? Git, on the train ride home, sipping white wine in her pink sweater and scarf, a fitting end to a vibrant, joy-filled day.

HOW I GOT MY SEE THROUGH T SHIRT…


In this fun and entertaining video, I start my day editing yesterday's Instagram stories for all my social media outlets. It’s my favorite morning ritual, setting the tone for another creative day! Once that’s done, I hop on my bike and head to the store to pick up a package I’ve been eagerly waiting for, ordered from the second-hand app Vinted. The sunny ride gives me a chance to show off my Karl Lagerfeld x H&M sunglasses—fashionable and functional, just the way I like it.  




The package turns out to be a total gem: a sheer black t-shirt from Mugler’s collaboration with H&M. It’s such a statement piece and fits right into my eclectic wardrobe. From there, it’s off to the theatre, where I spend the rest of my day immersed in costume work. Laundry, ironing, mending, sorting—it’s all part of the behind-the-scenes magic that makes the show shine. There’s something so satisfying about organizing and prepping these beautiful costumes, knowing they’ll bring characters to life on stage.  

Living in Midsommarkransen, a charming suburb of Stockholm, I’m always inspired by the mix of creativity and routine in my daily life. My love for theatre, vegan cooking, and style blends seamlessly into my work and passions. Every day, I share a new video to connect with my audience, followed by uploading the oldest photo on my phone—a quirky way to keep my feed fresh, nostalgic, and true to me.

What if a Mug Could Tell Stories?


Captured on December 7, 2023, this photo takes me back to a cherished moment at the theatre. I’m holding my prized white Jonathan Adler Giuliette mug—an elegant treasure I found on the second-hand app Tradera. Its delicate design, with its iconic motif, feels like a little piece of art in my hands. Alongside it, I’m wearing my cozy gray sweatshirt from H&M's Toga Archives collaboration, complete with its quirky hole on the side—a detail that gives it extra character.  
 

This snapshot is more than just a record of what I wore or held; it captures the ambiance of that day. The theatre’s warm lighting and rich textures form the perfect backdrop, echoing the anticipation and quiet excitement before a performance. It’s a moment frozen in time—a balance between comfort and style, personal taste and the thrill of storytelling through art.  



What makes this photo special to me is how it represents layers of meaning. The mug reminds me of sustainability and finding beauty in pre-loved items. The sweatshirt? It’s a blend of high fashion and functionality, proving that even the simplest pieces can have their unique charm. And the theatre? It’s where my love for creativity, narrative, and human connection flourishes.  

This image isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about storytelling—how every object, outfit, and setting plays a part in the tales we tell about ourselves. It’s proof that even the smallest details can hold profound meaning.

HOW I GOT MY ITALIAN CRACKERS


Today’s video starts backstage on a two-show Saturday! Between costume changes and quick fixes, the first show flies by, and I’m out the door in my cowboy boots—yes, the ones I’ve had for years but never worn. I was saving them for a “special occasion” but decided every day is special enough!  

I head out to buy some funky socks, but H&M doesn’t sell them anymore (why, though?). Instead, I settle for bland Italian crackers from Hemköp, located under Åhléns. Not exactly thrilling, but hey, you win some, you lose some.  

For the second show, Tommy Körberg and Tuva B. Larsen are out, so Joakim Jennefors and Hannu Ulvan step in. That means David Julio, our incredible makeup artist and wig wizard, takes on the role of the stage manager in the opening number. Seeing him in action is always a treat!  

During intermission, there’s a wine lottery. Neither I, David, nor Johanna wins anything—tragic, but we move on. The buzz of the theatre and the energy from the cast and crew keep the evening lively.  

A little about me: I live in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, and work as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical. I love vegan cooking, theatre, and style. Every day, I post a video to my social channels and share the oldest picture on my phone for a fun mix of nostalgia and creativity.

HOW I GOT MY SUPPLEMENT SCOOP


This video is a peek into my daily life as a dresser and costume supervisor at a Stockholm theatre. The day starts at my cozy Midsommarkransen apartment, editing yesterday's Instagram story videos to share across all my social media. After some coffee and creativity, I hop on my bike, wearing my favorite H&M leopard sunglasses and H&M Studio plaid puffer jacket, ready for a two-show day.  

Before the first show, I dive into some playful investigative journalism, focused on the essential supplement: Berocca. Turns out, the theatre is out of Berocca! Nathalie Lodell, our amazing production assistant, dashes out to buy more, much to the delight of actor Martin Stokke Mathiesen. The hunt for Berocca sparks plenty of laughs and gives me the perfect excuse to ask the cast and crew some silly “journalistic” questions. It’s these lighthearted moments that make theatre life so unique and memorable.  

After the show excitement, I share my daily tradition: posting the oldest photo from my iPhone to my social media feed. It’s a fun and nostalgic way to keep things fresh, and once posted, the photo gets deleted from my phone—making space for more memories.  

Between vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style, my life is all about finding joy in everyday routines and sharing it with you. Join me as I bring you into my world, one entertaining video at a time!

What if Theatre Could Capture Life’s Irony?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on December 4, 2023, in the stairwell at the theatre. It features the talented actresses Therese "Terran" Andersson-Lewis and Cissi Wrangel during a quiet moment backstage. Their characters bring humor and depth to the show in ways only theatre can.  


Cissi plays Mona, the village’s hairstylist—a funny twist, given that her character has the least flattering hairdo of all. Meanwhile, Terran’s character hilariously misses every clue about her son’s sexuality, creating some of the play’s most awkward yet heartwarming moments.


The setting is simple: a staircase bathed in soft theatre lighting. It’s a space we pass by daily but rarely stop to appreciate. Yet, in this candid shot, it transforms into a stage of its own, capturing the humanity of these two characters and the actresses who bring them to life.  


This photo holds a special place in my heart because it’s a reminder of theatre’s ability to make us laugh, think, and relate. It also reflects the bonds formed backstage, where shared jokes and quiet moments like this one add to the magic of the show.

HOW I GOT MY BRIGHT BLUE HOODIE


In today’s video, I’m kicking off my day editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for all my platforms. It’s one of my favorite rituals, turning small moments into shareable memories! Once that's done, I hop on my bike, draped in my cozy yellow faux fur stole from the Moschino x H&M collection, and head into the theatre.  

On the way, I make a quick stop to pick up a parcel I’ve been eagerly waiting for. Spoiler: It’s a stunning blue hoodie from the H&M x Rabanne collab, which I scored second-hand on Vinted. Sustainable style for the win!  

At work, my colleague Lukas and I tackle an unexpected challenge—a leaky washing machine in the laundry room. Theatre life is always full of surprises! Between solving wardrobe malfunctions and managing costumes, we’re also unofficial maintenance experts.  

To keep things light and fun, I roam around the theatre asking the cast and crew some thought-provoking (and hilarious) questions:  
- What’s the best advice you’ve been given recently?  
- If you could spend a day doing anything at all, what would you choose?  
- If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be?  

Hearing their answers made my day, and I hope it inspires you to reflect on your own!  

As always, I share a piece of nostalgia by uploading the oldest photo on my iPhone to my feed before deleting it. It’s such a fun way to mix fresh content with a bit of sentimental charm.  

I live in Midsommarkransen, a beautiful suburb of Stockholm, and work as a dresser and costume supervisor on a musical production in the city. Theatre, vegan cooking, and style keep my life vibrant, and I love documenting it all for you.

HOW I GOT RID OF MY PINK BANANA SOCKS


Today’s video is packed with fun, fashion, and theatre vibes! I kick off the day editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for all my platforms (gotta keep it fresh!) and hop on my bike to head to the theatre. On the way, I pick up a yellow fake fur from Moschino x H&M that I scored online for a steal!  

First stop: the shoe repair shop to grab the actress Cissi’s freshly fixed shoes. Back at the theatre, Johanna shows off her new tattoo (so cool!), and our makeup artist, David Julio, decides I need a wig. Suddenly, I’m Tracy Turnblad from *Hairspray*! I roam the theatre asking cast and crew some very important (and random) questions, while outside, stretch limos are lining up.  

Fashion fail of the day? My pink banana socks (thanks, H&M) have a hole in them. They’re done, so I make a dramatic farewell and prepare to toss them later. David tries to cheer me up with vegan chocolate ice cream, and it’s SO good I convince him to make a commercial for it. Hilarious!  

Yesterday, I found a white shelf at a secondhand store. Today, I decide to bring it home—strapped to my back on my bike! If that’s not a vibe, I don’t know what is. Before I leave, I make David say goodbye to my socks before officially dumping them in the trash.

What if Actors Always Showed Their True Selves?

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on November 27, 2023, at the costume atelier at the theatre. It features the ever-charismatic actor **Petter Mario Skoglund** striking a pose by showing his tongue. This snapshot captures a candid, playful moment in the midst of our usual backstage chaos.  


Every day before the show, Petter visits the atelier to transform his look. His long, dark hair is meticulously styled into pin curls, prepping him to wear wigs for his roles: a young mourner at a funeral and a villager in Act One. But by Act Two, he lets it loose—literally and figuratively—as he steps into the hilarious role of a drunken German. Watching his character arc unfold on stage is always a treat!  




The backdrop of the atelier, with its buzzing energy, racks of costumes, and mirrors lined with lights, tells its own story. It’s a world of transformation, creativity, and last-minute adjustments—chaotic, yes, but magical all the same.  


 

The second image? It’s this same quirky moment, reimagined through an AI filter. It’s fascinating to see how technology interprets an already vibrant memory, adding a new layer of surrealism.  '


This photo is more than a snapshot; it’s a peek into the world of theatre—a space where imagination thrives, personas are created, and even the quietest moments pulse with life.  


For me, this moment embodies the unique blend of work and camaraderie that makes theatre so special. Whether it’s Petter pulling faces or the team racing to perfect a costume, every detail contributes to the larger story unfolding on stage.

HOW I GOT MY SEQUIN RUGBY SWEATER #dayinthelife #stockholmstyle #second...


Starting the day with some cozy editing time! ☕️✨ I’m polishing yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my platforms, and then—boom! The day takes off like a rocket. First stop: picking up a second-hand blue sequin rugby sweater from H&M that I found on Vinted. 🛍️ While heading to meet my friend Magnus at Holy Cow, an Indian restaurant, I stumble upon a gorgeous shelf at a second-hand store. Naturally, I couldn’t resist.  

The restaurant is right by Magnus’s building, but, plot twist—his laundry isn’t done. 🧺 So we handle that, then IKEA calls with a mountain of new stuff he ordered. Teamwork kicks in as I help him haul everything upstairs. 💪 Once the dust settles, we finally make it to dinner, which was SO worth the wait. 🥘  

But the day doesn’t stop there! Magnus helps me strap the newly found shelf to my back (true friendship 💙), and I bike over to the theatre to drop off some shoes for repair. Then, David and I jump back on our bikes and head to Hasselbacken on Djurgården to meet our friend Martin for cocktails. 🍸✨  

Life in Midsommarkransen is always a mix of cozy routines and crazy adventures. Living here while working as a dresser and costume supervisor in Stockholm’s theatre scene keeps things exciting. 🎭 Every day, I share a slice of my life on social media, uploading the oldest photo from my phone to my feed. It’s a fun way to keep things fresh and nostalgic.

Fueling the Spotlight Behind the Scenes with Theatre's Secret Boost


Ever wondered what keeps theatre actors energized during long rehearsals and performances? 🎭 Well, buckle up, because in my latest documentary-style video, I dive into the backstage world of supplements, specifically a certain fizzy tablet that seems to be the unsung hero of the stage! 🫧  

When supplies run low, the drama doesn’t just happen on stage. Natalie, the production assistant extraordinaire, is on a mission to save the day, heading to the drugstore to grab more of this magical energy booster. Naturally, I had to tag along to document the journey—and the antics. 😂  

We follow Natalie on her errand run, witnessing how important this supplement is to the cast’s daily grind. I even got to chat with one of the actors relying on it to push through the day and, of course, I HAD to try it myself! (Spoiler alert: It’s fizzy, tangy, and oddly satisfying.) 🍊💥  

This video isn’t just about supplements; it’s about the unglamorous yet essential behind-the-scenes stories that keep the theatre world spinning. From Natalie’s quick pharmacy run to the actor’s palpable relief when the supplement saves the day, it’s a funny, entertaining peek into a world most of us rarely get to see.  

Have you ever wondered what fuels your favorite performers? Or do you swear by your own pick-me-up for tough days? Watch this video to find out why sometimes, even the smallest things can make the biggest difference.

What if... My Burrito Was a Wooly Braid?

This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, taken on November 26, 2023. It shows me mid-bite, eating a burrito on a train to Linköping. But there’s a twist—an AI filter meant for room makeovers transformed my burrito into a wooly braid, and bathed the world around me in vibrant pinks, turquoises, oranges, and lilacs. The photo feels like a surreal blend of reality and digital artistry, giving an everyday moment a quirky, futuristic spin.  


The train ride was supposed to be a fun trip with my friends Magnus and Martin to see the musical *WAITRESS*. We were buzzing with excitement, chatting about the show and making plans for the day. Little did we know, the performance was canceled due to illness. What started as a day of musical theater magic turned into an unexpectedly expensive adventure. The rush to rebook our return tickets meant shelling out extra cash for an earlier, pricier train.  


Looking at this photo now, I laugh at the absurdity of the moment—the dreamy AI colors, the wooly burrito, and our initial optimism before the plot twist. It’s a reminder that life, much like an AI filter, often serves up unexpected perspectives.  


The second picture is how it looked before the filter, and the third picture is created by AI based on this text.

A surreal burst of AI-designed colors and an unplanned adventure.  
 Myself, Magnus, Martin, a canceled show, and a digital twist on my burrito.  
 A mix of excitement, disappointment, and the humor of an unpredictable day.  

This photo isn’t just a snapshot; it’s a story of spontaneity, friendship, and embracing the quirks of life—and AI filters.

HOW I GOT MY SUNGLASSES SORTED OUT #morningroutine #diyorganizing #skinc...


Good morning from Midsommarkransen! Today’s video is packed with laughs, creativity, and a little skincare magic. I start my day editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories for all my platforms—keeping it fresh and fun for you! Once that’s done, I slip into my fuzzy slippers (yes, I waddle) and head to the bathroom. Today’s experiment? Trying the Bulldog face wash sample I got at Åhléns with my Le Maioliche Sicilian shower gel two weeks ago. Verdict? It feels amazing! Pro tip: I follow it up with face lotion while my skin is still damp. Why? It locks in the moisture. Game-changer!

Then comes my brilliant DIY sunglasses organizer. You know those IKEA picture ledges you buy “just in case”? I finally found their purpose! By screwing them to the wall outside my bathroom—stacked with some plexiglass mirrors in between—I created the chicest, most practical sunglass storage EVER. Now all my shades are on display, easy to grab, and adding style to my space.

A little about me: I’m a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical in Stockholm. My days are full of creativity, vegan cooking, theatre, and style! Every day, I post a new video and upload the oldest picture from my phone to my feed before erasing it. It’s such a fun way to blend nostalgia and freshness.

What if a Candelabra Could Light Up Stories?

This is the oldest photo on my iPhone, taken backstage at the theater on November 25, 2023. It’s a candid snapshot of Felicia, our talented props master, kneeling in front of a makeshift table adorned with an embroidered tablecloth. Centered on the table is a candelabra with electric lights that mimic the soft glow of real candles. Felicia, dressed in all black like the rest of the stage crew, is absorbed in her work, ensuring every detail is perfect for the upcoming scene. 


The background tells a story of its own—a shelf unit from IKEA stocked with potato chips and dried oats, props for a scene set in the village shop. At the bottom right, there’s a pile of oversized knitting needles, part of the comedic number *Sticka Sticka*. These quirky, oversized props hint at the playful creativity that defines life in the theater.  


This photo holds so much for me—a mix of artistry, precision, and behind-the-scenes chaos. It’s a reminder of how many invisible hands contribute to the magic on stage. Felicia’s focus, the carefully arranged candelabra, and the whimsical props all bring the production to life in ways the audience never sees.  



Backstage is where the stories really come alive. It’s where laughter, problem-solving, and dedication collide to create something extraordinary. This photo captures the essence of theater—the perfect balance between hard work and creativity.

HOW I GOT MY BRANDY SOUR COCKTAIL #everydaymoments #socialmediadaily #ve...


In this funny and entertaining video, I start my day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories to share across all my social media platforms. After a bit of creative hustle, I finally get up to have breakfast and lunch—only to find myself back in bed for more editing. Time flies, and before I know it, the sky is dark.  

Determined to get out, I head to Liljeholmstorgets galleria for some grocery shopping. While I’m there, I can’t resist stopping by Tiger of Copenhagen to admire their Christmas baubles—because who doesn’t love a bit of festive sparkle? Once I’m home, it’s time to whip up something delicious: red lentil pancakes paired with air-fried broccoli, sriracha, and lingonberry jam. It’s an unexpected combo, but trust me, it’s amazing!  

As I’m preparing a Sidecar cocktail in the evening, Magnus FaceTimes me. He’s having a Brandy Sour, so I decide to switch things up and join him. Since it’s NobemBrandy (a playful nod to celebrating Brandy in November), it’s the perfect excuse to try both cocktails and toast to good company—even if it’s virtual.  

I’m living in a cozy apartment in Midsommarkransen, a charming suburb of Stockholm, Sweden. My day-to-day life revolves around working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theater in the city. Outside of work, I’m passionate about vlogging, vegan cooking, theater, and style. One of my favorite rituals is sharing the oldest photo on my iPhone each day on social media and then deleting it. It keeps my feed fresh, fun, and full of nostalgia.

HOW I GOT MY RHINESTONE COWBOY BOOTS #TheaterMagic #CreativeCommunity #L...


In this funny and entertaining video, the second of the day, I’m back at the theater, proudly showing off my new rhinestone boots. The sparkle is impossible to miss, and I’m loving the reactions from the cast and crew. To keep things fun, I go around asking everyone three questions:  

What’s a goal you’re working towards right now?  
What’s something that always makes you laugh?  
If you could try any new hobby, what would it be?  

The answers are as diverse and creative as the incredible people I work with. It’s always inspiring to hear what motivates them and what brings them joy. After the show, the day takes a delicious turn when I treat David and Johanna to a kamikaze cocktail. They absolutely love it! The night becomes a cozy gathering with snacks, a YouTube speaker, and even some frozen cherry glögg—a festive and unique treat.  

David brings out old family photos and shares some incredible stories. We can’t stop laughing when we notice his father looks just like the old man from the cartoon movie *Up!* Moments like these make working in theater such a vibrant and close-knit experience.  

I live in Midsommarkransen, a charming suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, and work as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theater in the city. My passions include vlogging, vegan cooking, theater, and style. Every day, I upload a video to my social media outlets. As part of my content, I also share the oldest photo on my iPhone, then erase it—a ritual that keeps my feed fresh and nostalgic all at once.  

What’s something that always makes *you* laugh? Drop a comment and let’s spread some positivity!  #j241111

HOW I GOT MY MANLY BROOCH #TheaterLife #VeganCreatives #BehindTheScenes ...


In this funny and entertaining video, I start my day editing yesterday’s Instagram stories to share across all my social media platforms. After wrapping up my editing, I hop on my bike and head out to pick up a package from H&M. But the day has a few twists! I’d brought a bottle of wine for the wine lottery, only to find out it was postponed because there weren’t enough contestants—guess the suspense will have to wait!  

Back at the theater, I hand my package over to David, our talented makeup artist who’s been working here for an impressive 27 years. He opens the box to reveal two dazzling surprises: a manly glittery brooch and a pair of rhinestone boots. Naturally, I try them on right away. The boots sparkle so much that everyone is blinded by their brilliance! I pin on the brooch too, and then I wait to see who notices my fabulous footwear first. It takes my assistant Johanna about an hour to spot them.  

Meanwhile, backstage is its usual lively self. Stagehands Simon, Miranda, and Felicia are up in the auditorium, changing light bulbs in what looks like a very precarious balancing act. Lisa pops in, bringing candy and adding to the energy of the day.  

As part of my daily routine, I take a moment to ask the cast and crew some lighthearted but thoughtful questions:  
1. What’s a goal you’re working towards right now?  
2. What’s something that always makes you laugh?  
3. If you could try any new hobby, what would it be?  

This is just a glimpse of my life as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theater in Stockholm. I live in Midsommarkransen, a charming suburb of the city, and my passions include vlogging, vegan cooking, theater, and style. To keep my content fresh and nostalgic, I share the oldest photo on my iPhone each day and then delete it—a small ritual that keeps my feed dynamic.

What if a Mirror Could Tell Stories?

This is the Oldest Photo on My iPhone**, taken on **November 25, 2023**, in the ladies’ quick-change area at the theater. It features the talented actress **Jenny Holmgren**, dressed as Ann-Marie, a character with a bit of a drinking problem. Fun fact: Jenny is also the understudy for one of the female leads, originally created by Helen Sjöholm and now played by Sanna Nielsen. Look closely, and you’ll spot me in the mirror, capturing this candid behind-the-scenes moment.  


 The photo was taken during a busy show day, tucked away in the bustling yet cozy corners of the backstage area. Quick-change areas are more than just functional—they’re a hub of pre-show nerves, mid-show hustle, and post-show camaraderie.  


  The focus of this photo is Jenny in costume, but the background adds rich context. The clutter of costumes, makeup brushes, and quick-change necessities speaks volumes about the unglamorous yet magical world of theater. There’s a rawness and authenticity here—a far cry from the polished stage performances the audience sees.  


This photo is a snapshot of why I love working in theater. It captures the essence of storytelling, the dedication of the cast and crew, and the beauty of fleeting moments. Seeing myself in the mirror is a reminder that we’re all part of a larger story, working together to bring something extraordinary to life.  


This image takes me back to a day of laughter, chaos, and creativity. Jenny’s character Ann-Marie brings layers of humor and drama to the stage, and capturing her in this moment reflects the blend of hard work and artistry that defines theater.  


The second picture is the first but seen through a AI filter, and the third is this text turned into an image.

**What if… I Took the Subway?**
