THE CURTAIN FALLS: A SUNDAY BACKSTAGE AT THE THEATRE 🎭✨


What truly happens when the curtain falls at a theatre on a quiet Sunday afternoon? 🎭

Join me for a tender, funny, and quietly magical glimpse behind the scenes at our Stockholm theatre as we play our Sunday matinée—the last show before a few well-earned days of rest 🍂. The season has turned; autumn has crept through the stage door, and everything feels a little more thoughtful, a little more golden.


Our production assistant, the ever-charming Terran, surprises me with vegan chocolate wafers 🍫 (a delight far too elegant to decline), while our stage manager Simon offers his usual stream of heartfelt, slightly unsolicited life advice 💬—and somehow, I always end up better for it. There’s laughter, a touch of wisdom, and perhaps too much sugar.

But the real spectacle unfolds after the show. Once the final applause fades 👏, the stagehands rush in—swift, focused, and utterly mesmerizing. Set walls disappear, props are tucked away, and a whole world collapses into neatly stacked boxes 📦. Watching them work is like witnessing a ballet of precision and teamwork, where every gesture counts and every second matters.


And when the stage grows silent again, I stay behind 🧺. It’s laundry night for the costumes—silks, satins, and sequins all awaiting their turn in the wash. The theatre becomes hushed, save for the hum of the machines, and there’s something oddly peaceful in caring for the garments that bring our stories to life.

This vlog isn’t just about backstage work—it’s about gratitude 💕. About the people who build, repair, fold, wash, and carry the invisible magic that makes a show possible. Whether you’re a theatre lover, a creative soul, or simply someone who loves the rhythm of ordinary life made extraordinary, this video will remind you how much beauty lies in the quiet moments after the spotlight fades. 🌙

I TURNED A VINTED SWEATER INTO A FAIRYTALE BACKSTAGE

Have you ever woken up at dawn for the wrong day?
I did — and what could have been a disaster became a story. In this vlog, you’ll step into the backstage chaos, the fashion fairytale, and the strange glamour of a Tuesday that turned upside down. 🌅🎭

✨ A Morning Mistake Becomes Theatre
I am a dresser, a costume supervisor, a curator of seams and fabrics. On this Tuesday, I rose far too early for a production meeting that wasn’t happening. Tomorrow, not today. Yet life, like farce, thrives on error. What could be frustration became a stage.

📦 The Vinted Arrival
Waiting outside my door: a package from VINTED. Inside — a midnight-blue knitted sweater from H&M Studio. Not simply a sweater, but a stage costume in itself. At rehearsal, I let Git, the director’s assistant, open it. And then, in that mad moment, I perform. Hansel. Gretel. The evil stepmother. The witch (twice, darling, because one entrance is not enough). Clothes tell stories when you let them.


💄 Laughter Backstage
With David, the makeup artist, I spin a knock knock joke between brushes and powder. Theatre is not just spectacle — it’s giggles in the wings, rouge on the cheek, absurdity stitched into beauty.

🌺 Second Act: A Bowl That Blooms
Returning home, another package awaits. A poppy-shaped bowl from BYON. A bowl? No — a sculpture, a theatre of porcelain. Suddenly, the mundane is exquisite.


🌌 Autumn’s Curtain
But then — the dark. Winter rehearses early, stealing daylight long before it should. I fall into bed too soon, tricked by the season. Autumn makes clowns of us all. Yet in the darkness, there is drama, and in drama, always beauty.

✨ Why Watch?
This is more than a vlog. It’s a diary of backstage life, fashion that transforms into fairytales, second-hand treasures reimagined as theatre, and the bittersweet comedy of autumn’s early night. It’s laughter, spectacle, and a little melancholy, all sewn together.

What if going to the theatre still felt like an occasion?

There’s something about the ritual of going to the theatre that I’ve always loved: meeting friends, grabbing a coffee, soaking in the excitement of a new production. This photo—taken 23 January 2025—captures exactly that. I’m sitting at Kafé Plattan, the vegan café tucked inside Kulturhuset in central Stockholm, wearing my black-and-silver sequin shirt from H\&M ✨. My friend Majsan and I met up there to catch up before heading to Stadsteatern for the dress rehearsal of *Stephen Sondheim’s COMPANY*.

If you’ve never been, Kafé Plattan is a great hangout: fully vegan, with tasty food, a relaxed vibe, and the bonus of being right by Stadsteatern 🎭. It’s my favorite pre-theatre meeting spot because it makes the whole evening feel special. And that night, I wanted to bring the sparkle—literally. Over the past few years, I’ve made a point of dressing up when I go to the theatre. There’s something about adding sequins or a bold outfit that reminds me: this is an *occasion.* And the best part? People notice. Strangers smile, ask about your look, and there’s a sense of shared celebration ✨.


The show? Well... let’s just say it didn’t live up to the sequins. COMPANY featured a female Bobby, and while that’s become a bit of a trend, I couldn’t help but feel it lost the essence of the story. What’s supposed to be about the universal search for connection felt reduced to a woman’s anxiety over her biological clock. 

Sure, the cast was packed with top-tier musical theatre talent, but the production just didn’t gel for me—or for the broader audience, apparently, because it ended up closing early. Proof that even Sondheim’s genius can’t save a misstep in interpretation 🎶.

Still, I wouldn’t trade that night for anything: good food, a glittery outfit, deep conversation, and the thrill of seeing a show (even if it flops!). 


I’d love to hear your thoughts: Do you dress up for the theatre? ✨.

🎥✨ A Day of Edits, Uploads, Surprises, and Swedish Art Adventures! | Dai...

Starting my day with 📱 editing yesterday’s Instagram stories 🎬 for all my social media outlets—caffeine-fueled and ready to roll ☕🔥! Then it's off to the computer 💻 to upload the new content 📤, write the perfect description ✍️, and (as always) find the OLDEST photo on my iPhone 📸👀—posting it for some sweet, nostalgic vibes before erasing it forever 🗑️🕰️! 

Today’s flashback made me laugh out loud 😂—memories really live in our pockets, don’t they? Living here in Midsommarkransen 🌸🏡, a cozy suburb to Stockholm 🇸🇪, and working as a dresser and costume supervisor 🎭🎩 keeps my days colorful and creative 🎨!  

Everyday life = vlogging 📹, vegan cooking 🥦🍝, theatre magic 🎟️✨, and chasing that perfect style moment 👔✨. Posting daily videos is my way to share this journey with you all 🤝❤️. 

And speaking of journeys... a special birthday surprise 🎉🎁 from Magnus had me outside Fotografiska 🖼️📷 (their gift shop is AMAZING—resisted buying everything 🙈🛍️). Just when I thought we were museum-bound... nope! We hopped on a blue double-decker bus 🚌💙🍷, Easter eggs filled with vegan candy 🍬🥜 in hand, heading toward adventure!

Destination: Gustavsbergs Porslinsmuseum 🏛️💫 to see the Gunnar G:son Wennerberg exhibition 🎨—a legendary Swedish artist whose dreamy stage designs and art shaped a whole era! 🌟🖌️ Seriously, what a perfect day.  

Stay tuned for more daily uploads 🎥✨ and more throwback moments 🚀💖! What’s your favorite way to relive old memories? 📲💬

“I turned 61 and got whisked away to a secret island —welcome to my spri...

A ferry ride, a surprise fika, and a vegan blueberry pie—this is how you do a birthday in the Stockholm archipelago.** 🎂🛥️🌸

Come with me on the ultimate Swedish spring birthday escape! I was invited (sort of secretly) by my coworker David to a *Tynningö lunch and fika*, which turned out to be the sweetest island gathering I could've wished for.

🚲 The day started early, biking from Midsommarkransen to Skeppskajen with birthday nerves in full swing.  
🛥️ We caught the SL boat just in time and coasted through the glittering archipelago.  
👯‍♀️ I was reunited with dear colleagues from my theatre days: Eva (*CHESS*, *CHINAREVYN*, *MAMMA MIA!*), Pia (from the Oscarsteatern stage door), Smulan (props queen turned pawnshop expert), and Git (who’s been in my life since *Rivierans Guldgossar*).  

🌞 On Tynningö, David and his husband P.M. welcomed us with pink spritz cocktails and smiles. Their cozy house sits atop a rocky cliff with a stunning sea view. The veranda became the hub for laughter, spring gossip, and generous gifts—like Chinese groceries, vegan treats, and even a cucumber plant.

🔥 Lunch was grilled to perfection:  
• Vegan hotdogs for me 🌱  
• Vegetarian for Johanna 🧅  
• Regular for the rest 🐷  
• Served with wine, ketchup, fried onions, and a crunchy salad with roasted walnuts 🥗  

🌸 Between bites, Johanna and I discovered a blooming Japanese cherry tree full of bees—pure magic.  
🫐 Dessert? A dreamy vegan blueberry pie with vanilla custard as everyone sang happy birthday to me 🥹  

💬 The day wrapped up with heartfelt chats about aging (hello 60+ chair test!), and a chilly farewell ferry back to the mainland.

This is what I call a *real fika moment*. Want to see more life behind the scenes from Stockholm's theatre world and island escapes? Subscribe and hit the bell 🔔

📍 Filmed on location in Tynningö, Sweden  
🎥 Featuring: Johanna, Eva, Pia, Git, Smulan, David, and P.M.

📸What if The Thinker Worked in a Costume Shop?

Caught somewhere between *art installation* and *accidental fashion icon*, this is the oldest photo on my iPhone—taken October 12, 2024, in the costume shop at the theatre 🎭. I’m wearing my silver-gold sequin Zara jacket (second hand from Vinted ✨), my fave camo pants 🪖, and white-soled trainers (RIP—they now live at the theatre's shoe department 👟👋). I’m sitting like Rodin’s *The Thinker*, but surrounded by glitter, red panties, and a neon pink toy bunny 🐰💗 I found ages ago in a charity shop. Gift? Forgotten present? No idea.


Behind me: a costume rack of “almosts”—outfits prepped for the show but never used 👗. A mannequin in a red sequin bustier and matching panties keeps silent watch 💃. It's 11:45 AM—probably a Saturday or Sunday matinee prep 🕚☕.  


I started buying second-hand during *TOOTSIE* and honestly, I don’t even remember my pre-thrift wardrobe anymore ♻️👕. Most of what I wear now has a past, a story, and some sparkle. Like this jacket. Like this moment. Like this me 💫.  


Sometimes the forgotten photos hold the most unexpected stories. And yes, the bunny is still with me.


Me, a pink bunny 🐇, a bedazzled mannequin, and backstage theatre chaos

Ever wonder how a day in the life of a vegan theatre-loving Stockholm-ba...


Ever wonder how a day in the life of a vegan theatre-loving Stockholm-based content creator looks? 🎬💻🎭 This morning I kicked things off by editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories 🎥, repurposing them across all my social channels – because let’s face it, content never sleeps 😅📱 Then it was time to upload today’s video, write this caption 💡 and post the oldest pic on my iPhone (a tradition I *highly* recommend for digital spring cleaning 🧼📸) before deleting it from my camera roll forever. 💾✨


Outfit of the day? My new Moschino x H&M purple-orange puffer 🔥 with silver sequins 💎, leopard print faux fur hood 🐆 and an acid green beanie 🧤. Got on my bike 🚴 and met my fabulous friend Lisa outside PLAYHOUSE THEATRE for *INSTANT PLAYHOUSE* – a benefit performance for UNICEF 🌍❤️ where playwrights, directors and actors create and perform brand-new plays all within 24 hours! Talk about live theatre magic 🪄🎟️

But first... TACOS 🌮! We crossed the street to Taco Bar for some spicy Tex Mex – I had the mix plate with all the vegan toppings 🥑🌶️🌽. Mexican food is a flavor fiesta I never say no to 🎉🇲🇽

After the show, Lisa headed to Dramaten for *Gertrude Stein* while I dashed to IKEA for frozen vegan meatballs 🍡🛒. Swung by home 🏡 to grab a bag of clothes I no longer wear for my friend Martin – a little closet clear-out for a good cause 👚♻️

At Martin’s, we had a cozy smörgåsbord 🧆 with ajvar, pickles 🥒, and the best vegan potato cakes with melted cheese 🧀🤤 He just got a HUGE new iPhone 📱📦, and I gifted him a bag of popcorn 🍿 plus two kamikaze cocktails 🍸 in jars – just add ice! 🧊 He wanted salt on the rim – of course he did 😄

Then, finally, home to Midsommarkransen 🛌📍

Ever wonder what magic brews behind closed stage doors? ✨

Here’s the oldest photo on my iPhone – and what a treasure it is. 🎭📱


On September 19, 2024, the theatre buzzed with a hush-hush energy. 


A secret photo shoot was underway as Claes Malmberg officially stepped into the role of *Gottfrid*, taking over from the legendary Tommy Körberg. 👬✨



In the first image, we’re in the wig atelier with brilliant makeup artist and wig designer David Julio – sitting in the makeup chair due to his knees but fully focused on styling Tuva B. Larsen’s bouncy blonde curls. 👱‍♀️🎀 His striped shirt with red buttons is a character in itself! 😄👕


Then we hit the stage: Photographer Mats Bäcker captures the cast – Sanna Nielsen, Claes Malmberg, Tuva B. Larsen, and Lindy Larsson – in full costume under the golden glow of our beloved art deco theatre. 🏛️🎞️ The look, the light, the legacy.



The energy builds with a touching moment: Körberg and Malmberg in *identical costumes*, hugging like two generations of the same soul. 🤍👴👨‍🦳 Those images say more than words ever could.


In the final shots, the ensemble stands proudly outside the theatre, costumes gleaming in daylight, posing under the show’s poster – a full-circle moment that still gives me goosebumps. 🌟📷


This moment marks a passing of the torch, a celebration of legacy and fresh beginnings – captured in quiet corners and grand poses alike. It’s more than theatre. It’s family. ❤️🎬

HOW I GOT MY SENSATIONAL CERULEAN SHIRT …


Starting the day with a fun routine! 🎥 First, I dive into editing yesterday's Instagram stories—gotta keep my social media fresh for you all! Afterward, it’s time to upload the video, write the description, and yes, I do my quirky daily tradition of uploading the oldest picture on my iPhone and erasing it right after. 📸 It’s all about keeping things fresh and a little nostalgic at the same time! 🙌.

But wait—then comes the fun part: time to move a side table around my apartment. 🛋 I decided it would look great in the hallway, but...hmm, it didn’t quite work as expected. 😂 No worries though, just needed some styling. 🖤 I added a white porcelain head and a few perfume bottles, and *presto*! Instant style! ✨

Of course, I also did a little cleaning and sorted some items for donation. ♻️ Then, I hopped on my cross trainer for 30 minutes of exercise (gotta stay active!) 💪 After that, I went out to grab a new blue shirt I ordered online. 👕 Feeling fresh, I decided to start a new project—creating short videos about how people in different parts of Sweden speak English. 🇸🇪🌍

Dinner was a cozy couscous dish, perfect for winding down after a busy day! 🍽️

I’m Joakim, living in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a theatre. 💼 When I’m not at the theatre, you can find me vlogging about vegan cooking, style, and all things theatre! Every day, I upload fresh videos to my social media, plus that fun “oldest picture” tradition. Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes looks at my daily life! 🎬✨

HOW I GOT TO A TEENY TINY THEATRE…


🎬 Start the day with me as I edit yesterday’s Instagram Stories for all my social media outlets ✂️📱. Once they’re polished, it’s time to upload them to YouTube 📤, write the descriptions 📝, and get everything ready before heading to the theatre! 🎭  

At work, David is on a mission: he needs a box 📦 big enough to fit a wig stand, a styrofoam head, and a BIG wig 👩‍🎤. The struggle is real! Meanwhile, I fuel up with a cozy vegan lunch: elbow macaroni with creamy béchamel sauce and IKEA’s famous vegan meatballs 🍝🌱. Perfection!  

Then, it’s time for a little *French flair*! 🇫🇷 I ask my coworker Johanna to recap our pre-lunch activities—but with a French accent. She absolutely nails it! 😂👌 Dinner? Well, it’s *déjà vu*, because I have the same meal again. No regrets!  

As night falls, I sneak out to Ö2scenkonst Kungsholmen, a tiny theatre on Bergsgatan 11 🎟️. Martin and I are here to watch *FÖRBJUD ALLA BLOMMOR* (*Ban All Flowers*) 🌸⛔. The show? Meh. But biking home is always an adventure! 🚴💨 We take a detour through Slussen, where we "liberate" a few posters from a wooden construction wall. 🎭🖼️ Martin and I part ways at a gas station in Aspudden ⛽—another day well spent!  

📍 I live in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, and work as a dresser & costume supervisor in musical theatre. Every day, I vlog my life, cook vegan food, and upload my oldest iPhone photo before deleting it—keeping my feed fresh & nostalgic!

HOW I GOT MY MOIRA ROSE WIGS ON…



🚨 When your friend goes for a smoke break, and you turn his apartment into a *one-woman theatrical production* 🎭😂  

Ulf invited me over to his high-rise apartment in Liljeholmen for a chill night of *Schitt’s Creek* binge-watching 🍿📺. But while he was out on the balcony for *one of his many* smoke breaks 🚬, I seized the moment.  

Armed with an *arsenal of wigs* 💁‍♀️, I transformed into *Moira Rose* herself and gave an *iconic*, ChatGPT-generated retelling of *Little Red Riding Hood* 🐺❤️—in full Moira-isms, of course. *“Oh bébé, beware the lupine interloper!”* 😂✨  

Ulf came back mid-performance and was *deeply unamused* 🙄, but did that stop me? Absolutely not. The show must go on! 🎭😆  

Between *dramatic storytelling*, *questionable wig choices*, and Ulf’s *increasing regret* about inviting me over, this video has it all! Plus, a cozy night in, Netflix marathons, and a peek into life in Stockholm 🇸🇪💫.  

Would YOU watch a full fairy tale told by Moira Rose? Drop a 🧙‍♀️ in the comments if YES! 👇😂

HOW I GOT FLAPJACKS IN ÅRSTA…


Starting the day with some ✂️ editing magic, trimming yesterday’s Instagram stories for all my social media platforms 🎥. Then it’s time to hit the road 🚴‍♂️—or rather, the bike lanes of Stockholm—wearing THE ESSENCE VAULT Scene 111, my turquoise & black leopard-print faux fur jacket 🐆💙, and my COMPANY London baseball cap that boldly asks, “Does anyone still wear a hat?” 🧢✨  

At the theatre, Johanna and I keep packing up the show 📦—getting everything prepped for the spring & summer tour 🎭. A quick mission up into the attic (cue suspenseful music 🎵) to locate some knitted slippers 🧦 and sneak in a black cape among the rest. Just another day in the life of a dresser & costume supervisor! 👗🕶️  

Then it’s back on my bike 🚴‍♂️ and off to Årsta Teater to see *Utflykt till Hanging Rock* 🎭. You know, that eerie, hauntingly beautiful story of missing schoolgirls, mystery, and the unexplainable… 🌄😶‍🌫️ *Picnic at Hanging Rock* (the novel & film) has fascinated people for decades. Is it supernatural, or just psychological? Either way, I’m ready to be captivated.  

And then? You guessed it. Back on my bike 🚴 and straight to the theatre to continue working. Because when the stage calls, I always answer. 🎭💡  

What’s your favorite mystery story? Drop it in the comments! 👇🗣️

**What if costumes could tell their own stories?** 🎭✨




This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on August 8, 2024, at the costume shop at the theatre. It captures Pontus Wonkawaara during a costume fitting, trying on the outfit for Axel, a role played by Fredrik Lycke. Pontus wears Axel’s cowboy hat 🤠, tan waistcoat, and a striped white shirt, though he keeps his own tan trousers since he’s a bit shorter than Fredrik.  
 

Standing with his back to a large mirror, Pontus’s reflection adds an interesting double perspective. To his right, costume creator Tim Mårtensson is seated, a yellow measuring tape draped around his neck ✂️🧵. To the left, we see only a portion of costume designer Annsofi Nyberg’s long black skirt and her black sneakers with white soles 👟. Between them, a gold fabric dress hangs elegantly, hinting at yet another theatrical transformation. ✨  

There’s something magical about seeing a costume take shape, knowing it will soon come to life on stage 🎶. These fittings are where characters are born, where an actor starts becoming their role. It’s a collaborative moment, filled with small adjustments, creative vision, and plenty of laughter. 😆  

Looking at this photo now, I wonder: How many stories have these costumes told? What if they could whisper their memories? 🎭💭

HOW I GOT THE MISSING TROUSERS BACK…


Editing yesterday’s stories 🎬 before biking 🚲 to the theatre. We’re packing up the show, and there’s a lot to do! Three actors are returning for the tour 🎭, but when they left, we didn’t know they'd be back—so now we have to find all their costumes.  

Before leaving my apartment in Midsommarkransen 🏡, I put up a string curtain by the balcony door 🌞. At work, Johanna has to climb over set pieces 🏗️ to retrieve costumes shoved into a ridiculously tight space. The ultimate treasure hunt! 🏴‍☠️  

The actor Jonas Schlyter is coming back, but his tan khakis? Nowhere to be found 👖🤔. I swear I looked everywhere! Until... I check the basement again—turns out I didn’t look well enough the first time. Victory! 🏆  

Every day, I share my daily life as a dresser & costume supervisor 🎭 at a Stockholm theatre. I also upload the oldest picture on my iPhone 📱, post it to social media, and then erase it forever. It keeps my feed fresh and nostalgic at the same time! ⏳✨  

Who else has had to dig through mountains of stuff to find something essential? 🙋‍♂️ Share your best (or worst) “I finally found it” stories in the comments! ⬇️

HOW I GOT ALL THE COSTUMES MOVED AGAIN…


A day off? Not quite! 🎭☀️ The sun is shining, I'm wearing Caron Pour Un Homme 🌿✨, and it’s time to pack up all the costumes for an upcoming tour! 🚴‍♂️ Off I go on my bike to the theatre, where Johanna and I have a full day ahead of us. First, we haul every costume out of the dressing rooms and down to the basement (because, of course, every other room is taken! 🎭😅).  

While Johanna treks up to the attic, I tackle the laundry 🧺 and give you a little backstage tour! 🎬👀 Ever wondered what a theatre basement looks like? Spoiler: It's a labyrinth of forgotten props, costumes, and history. 🏛️✨  

I live in Midsommarkransen, a charming suburb of Stockholm 🏡, and work as a dresser & costume supervisor at a musical theatre. Every day, I post videos 🎥, and for a nostalgic twist, I also upload the oldest pic on my phone 📸—then erase it forever! 🔥💾  

Follow for daily glimpses into my theatre-filled life! 🎶🎭

HOW I GOT THROUGH THE LAST TWO SHOWS…


Saturday morning, and I start the day editing yesterday’s stories 🎬💻 Then on goes THE ESSENCE VAULT 53, inspired by Tom Ford’s MANDARINO DI AMALFI 🍊🌊 and my sunglasses from H&M STUDIO 2025 🕶️✨ before I hop on my bike and head to the theatre 🚴‍♂️🎭  

It’s a two-show Saturday, and also the very last time we perform this musical in this theatre 😢 But don’t worry—we’re packing it all up and going on tour later this spring! 🎶🧳  

I surprise David, the makeup artist, with a pair of H&M STUDIO sunglasses 🎁😎 He always gives me amazing gifts, but today he forgot—perfect, now it’s my time to shine ✨💛  

During the first show, I walk around backstage and ask a very important question: "What’s the best thing about potatoes?" 🥔😂 Nils Weibull even composes an impromptu song about the last show 🎵👏  

Between shows, I head out to buy some vegan lactic acid tablets 🏥🫖 Do I need them? No. Do I buy them anyway? Yes.  

The theatre elevator has stopped working. No one knows why. Someone suggests magic.  

During the second show, I continue my investigation and ask: "What’s the key to perfect French fries?" 🍟🔑   

And then—it’s over. Curtain down. Applause. Emotions. Packing up. But we’ll see each other on tour! 🎭💙  

I live in Midsommarkransen, a suburb of Stockholm 🏡🇸🇪 and work as a dresser and costume supervisor for a musical in the city. I vlog, cook vegan food, love theatre and style 🎥🥗🕺  

Every day, I post a video and upload the oldest picture on my iPhone—before deleting it 📸⏳ It keeps my feed both fresh and nostalgic!

HOW I GOT MY PRODUCTS FROM CERAVE…

Editing, errands, and theatre night! 🎬✨ Started my day by piecing together yesterday’s stories 🎥 before picking up a second-hand app order 📦 at COOP. Quick detour to grab some skincare—three CERAVE products 🧴(not US-owned, so that’s a plus!). Then off to SYSTRARNA VOLTAIRE to meet Cicki 🍽️.  

Dinner? A dreamy vegan salad 🥗 with endless bread and hummus 🥖—yes, please! Cicki rocked a blue puffer jacket 🧥, while I went all out with a green fake fur hat and a red tiger-striped scarf 🐅🧣. Fashion? On point!  

Next stop: Kulturhuset Stadsteatern 🎭 for a dress rehearsal of *1984*. Everyone got headphones 🎧—red, blue, or green. Immersive? Yes. Enjoyable? Not so much... Cicki loved it, though! 😅  

Living my best life in Midsommarkransen 🏡, working as a dresser & costume supervisor in Stockholm’s theatre scene 👗🎭. Daily vlogs, vegan food, theatre, and style keep me busy! Plus, my little tradition—uploading my iPhone’s oldest pic 📸 before deleting it for good. Nostalgia meets freshness! ✨  

Would you have enjoyed this show, or are you on my side? 😂 Drop a 🎧 if you’ve ever worn fancy theatre headphones!

HOW I GOT A WIRELESS MICROPHONE…


Mornings start with editing yesterday’s Instagram stories 🎬, making sure my content is top-tier for all my platforms. Then it’s time for a quick kitchen experiment—vegan pizza salad 🍕🥗—before hopping on my bike 🚲 and heading to Ulf’s for a *Schitt’s Creek* binge 📺.  

Detour alert! 🚦 A stop in Västberga: boxed wine 🍷 at Systembolaget, a popcorn haul 🍿 at RUSTA (sneaky gift loophole for my no-grocery March challenge 😉), and budget-friendly wireless mics 🎤 at NORMAL. Can’t resist a good tech find!  

At Ulf’s, it’s a classic dinner rotation: pasta aglio e olio 🍝, vegan microwave pizza 🍕, or instant noodles with a twist 🍜. Today? Pizza night! We nearly finish the wine, devour everything in sight, and laugh until we can’t breathe 😂. Ulf keeps sneaking onto the balcony 🚬, while I charge my new mic in his bedroom—cue his paranoia that I’ll somehow eavesdrop on him *after* I leave. Wireless tech still a mystery to him! 🤣  

Stockholm life at its best. My days are a mix of theatre, food, and spontaneous adventures. Every day, I upload a video and share the oldest pic on my iPhone 📱 before deleting it—keeping my feed both fresh and nostalgic ✨.

HOW I GOT CAMPARI BUT NO SWEET VERMOUTH…




Editing, biking, theatre, cocktails, and spontaneous travel plans – just another day in my life! 🚲💻🎭 Started the morning by editing yesterday’s stories before hopping on my bike to Kulturhuset, where I met up with my fabulous friends Cicki & Christian. 🌆☕  



We grabbed a bite at Kafé Plattan – tofu bánh mì for me & Christian, vegan pesto sandwich for Cicki. 🥪✨ Christian had just returned from Paris Fashion Week, where he was tailoring for ACNE – casual, right? 👔🇫🇷  

Then it was time for *En timme med Sofia Pekkari* at Soppteatern! 🎶 Such a powerful show – Sofia’s voice is incredible. 🎤💫  

Later, I decided to celebrate *Marchtini* with Magnus via FaceTime 🍸 But why stop at just a cocktail? I grabbed a bottle of Campari from Systembolaget and made a *flawless* Negroni in my best Texas drawl. 🤠🔥  

And then… we spontaneously booked tickets for the opening night of *HÖGA KUSTEN* – an outdoor musical in Härnösand! 🎭🏔️ Oh, and a hotel stay at Härnö Gin Hotell, because why not? 🍸🏨  

Life’s too short not to say yes! ✨

HOW I GOT AN AMAZING BELT…


Waking up early for the maintenance guys… only to realize I got the date wrong. Classic. So, what do I do instead? Hop on my bike 🚲💨 to pick up a parcel from Vinted – a transparent plastic belt from H&M (because why not? 😆). Then it’s off to the theatre 🎭, where I work as a dresser and costume supervisor.


Each week, I put up a fun questionnaire for the cast and crew – this time, it’s “How’s your career going?” Let’s just say, the answers range from inspiring to downright hilarious 😅.


Backstage before the show, I go around asking people who their dream dinner guest would be 🍽️✨. Shakespeare? Beyoncé? A historical icon? The responses do not disappoint! 😂

Meanwhile, my daily ritual continues: I upload a video every day 📱, then post the oldest picture on my iPhone 📸 (before erasing it forever 🫣). A fun mix of nostalgia and fresh content!

If you love theatre, style, or just a good laugh, follow along! 🎬✨ Let me know in the comments: Who would YOUR dream dinner guest be? 👇

HOW I GOT NO WINE BUT GREAT LAUGHS

  COULD A BOTTLE OF WINE AND A WELL-TIMED SCARE BE THE SECRET TO THEATRICAL GENIUS? 🍷 Welcome to the magnificent madness of a two-show Sat...
