CAN A BRASS TRAY AND A STEAMER ACTUALLY SAVE YOUR SANITY? 🧐✨

Have you ever spent an entire year searching for one specific object, only to find it hiding in plain sight during a chaotic shopping trip? Today, I’m taking you on an epic quest through the retail heart of Stockholm with my dear friend Ulf. We are on a mission to finish what we started—the great curtain transformation. But as any creator knows, a trip to the store is never just about one item. It’s about the hunt, the accidental finds, and the sheer joy of reorganizing your world. From the sprawling aisles of IKEA to the hidden gems of Granit in Hornstull, this is a deep dive into the art of making a house a home. It’s stressful, it’s hilarious, and it’s deeply satisfying. I promise you’ll find the inspiration you need to tackle those unfinished projects in your own space, all while feeling the warmth of a true friendship that can survive even a five-hour furniture haul. 🛋️🇸🇪

In this vlog, we navigate the legendary traffic of Skärholmen and Kungens Kurva to secure the essentials. I’m finally expanding my IVAR shelving system—the ultimate modular dream for anyone obsessed with organization. Watch as we hunt down a brass tray that Ulf has been dreaming about for twelve months. It’s a lesson in persistence and the high-low mix of Swedish design. We take a break from the consumerism to refuel at Aleppo Kebab with some of the best vegan falafel in the city, because even the most stylish shoppers need a spice-filled reset. We even pop into Rusta to see if we can find the perfect carpet, only to realize that Ulf’s earlier IKEA acquisitions were already the perfect fit for his hallway. It’s a day of realization, laughter, and high-speed decorating. 🥙🎨

The climax of our day involves the ultimate tool for the modern home: the steamer. There is nothing more tragic than a beautiful curtain hanging with wrinkles, and we’re showing you exactly how to fix that aesthetic nightmare. You’ll see the immediate transformation of Ulf’s hallway with his new rugs and the installation of a sleek metal bathroom shelf from Granit. But it wouldn’t be a real day with us without a bit of philosophical reflection. While Ulf was occupied in the bathroom, I discovered the fascinating history of Saint Bonaventure—the patron saint of bowel movements. Who knew that theology and home improvement could go hand in hand? 💨🚿

Finally, I’m heading back to my own apartment to put those new IVAR shelves to work. There is something so therapeutic about the sound of wood sliding into place and the visual order of a new shelving unit. Whether you are an IKEA enthusiast, a lover of Stockholm’s vibrant neighborhoods, or someone who appreciates the quirks of Catholic hagiography, this video is a celebration of the small details that make life beautiful. We’re talking about the textures of the rugs, the gleam of the brass, and the importance of having a friend who will drive you across the city just to find the right hardware. 🚗📦

If you’ve ever felt the rush of finding that "missing piece" for your room or the frustration of a wrinkled curtain, this journey is for you. Join us as we laugh our way through the design centers of Sweden and find beauty in the most unexpected places. It’s about more than just stuff; it’s about the energy we put into our environments and the people we share them with. 🏙️💖

THE NIGHT STOCKHOLM TURNED INTO AN AVICII DANCE FLOOR 💃🍷 | COSTUME RUN +...

❓ Have you ever wondered what really happens the day before a costume runthrough—the hidden milestone of theatre life? Imagine tights, wine, vegan burgers, and a friend who suddenly transforms into an Avicii dancer on Sveavägen. This is not just a vlog—it’s a declaration of what it means to live theatrically, every single moment.

✨ The Story:
It is Wednesday—the day before one of the greatest thresholds for a dresser and a costume supervisor: the costume runthrough. Instead of our costume designer, who is immersed in CHICAGO in Malmö, I attend the production meeting at Kulturhuset Stadsteater. It’s a curious seat to occupy—holding the responsibility of fabrics, fittings, and a vision that must survive the scrutiny of an entire creative team.

From there, I step into the world of retail. The mission? Tights for female actors. The reaction? Priceless. Salespeople glance, puzzled, as if to say, “Why would a man buy tights not in his size?” And that, darlings, is the essence of glamour. To stir curiosity. To ignite a little theatre in everyday life.

When work fades, Martin appears—armed with vegan burgers, fries, cola. A feast for the hungry, and a delight for the heart. Together, we cross the street to HARALDS, the iconic gay bar on Vasagatan. Two glasses of wine later, the night glows warmer, our laughter louder, and our anticipation higher.

Then the transformation. On our way to the show, Martin—full of joy and absurdity—becomes an Avicii dancer. Legs kick, arms fly, the city blurs into rhythm. For a moment, Stockholm belongs to us.

But when we finally sit at Kulturhuset Stadsteater for the dress rehearsal of Lonely Together… disappointment strikes. The production falls flat. Lifeless, uninspired. And truth, always necessary, must be spoken. Not everything dazzles, not everything enchants.

✨ Why Watch:
– To see the glamorous, absurd, hidden side of theatre life.
– To laugh at tights shopping and Avicii dance fantasies.
– To taste Stockholm: vegan burgers, HARALDS wine, and cultural highs (and lows).
– To feel the pulse of a city where theatre never truly ends.

🎬 What You’ll Get:
– Theatrical storytelling 🎭
– Backstage realism 👗
– Honest reviews 🙅
– A friendship full of energy, laughter, and eccentricity 🕺

WE WENT TO IKEA FOR NOTHING… AND BOUGHT EVERYTHING 🍾🛍️👠

Do you really need anything from IKEA—or are you just craving drama in fluorescent lighting?

Welcome to a deliciously chaotic day in my life: when the weather turned grey, my plans turned golden. In this episode, I surprise my dear friend Magnus with a castle-worthy birthday plan 👑, and along the way, Ulf and I fall into a rabbit hole of shopping, organizing, and eating like emperors (vegan ones, of course).

We begin at Kungens Kurva, where I stock up on birthday wine 🍷—because surprises are better with bubbles. Then onto IKEA, where I find a wine rack to house my growing champagne empire 🥂, and a new shoe shelf because I refuse to be a fashion minimalist. Despite July heat, IKEA insists on autumn 🍁… no one asked, but we accepted.

Of course, no grand day is complete without falafel—and Matvärlden delivers. I feast, then forage through aisles of international flavors 🌶️🥫🫒. Back home, I dive into DIY assembly (yes, me with tools, it’s historic), and transform my hallway with fizzy flair.

✨ If you love:
– Swedish lifestyle vlogs
– IKEA hauls
– Vegan food adventures
– Castle-worthy birthday surprises
– Organizing your life, one champagne bottle at a time

…then this is your video.

🌍 Shot in Stockholm, with love
🍾 Wine rack assembly not included (but shown, with slight struggle)
👠 Cameos: Ulf, my favorite enabler
🏰 Featuring: a whisper of royalty, a heap of falafel, and a drizzle of shoe-shelf glamour

I WALKED INTO VISBY’S PRETTIEST ALLEY… THEN GOT COMPLETELY LOST IN HISTORY!

This is not your grandma’s day trip. This is VISBY — with vegan tacos, Viking towers, and drag queen drama on the medieval wall. 🌊🍦🌮💅

I’m Joakim Clifton Bergman — content creator, vlogger, and passionate explorer of magic in everyday places. In Part 3 of my Birka Gotland series, I disembark into the heart of Visby, Gotland’s crown jewel. This city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and once you step inside its 3.4 km medieval ring wall, you’re stepping into another century. 🏰

We start at Österport, the eastern gate to the city — built in the 13th century, it served as a fortified entryway and now welcomes travellers like us with open stone arms. From there, I meander (as always) in search of food. But first — Visby Cathedral (S:ta Maria Domkyrka): built in 1225 by German merchants and still active today, with warm sandstone towers and a view that steals your breath.

Next: lunch at Mirells, a vegan-friendly gem where I indulge in a plant-based Mexican feast bursting with color 🌮🌶️. Meanwhile, Magnus takes a detour for meat elsewhere — it’s all part of the drama! He rejoins me for dessert: two scoops of delicious vegan sorbet at Gute Glass, a local favorite. 🍨

We make our way to Sankta Karins kyrkoruin, an open-air gothic dream built by Franciscan monks in the 13th century. Towering arches, ivy-clad walls, and ghostly echoes await 👻. Then: the Visby Domkyrka, glowing with stained glass and spiritual gravitas. It's not just a cathedral — it’s a sanctuary of stories. ✨

We detour through modern Visby to visit actor Isak Bendelin, who now slings bottles with flair at Systembolaget. 💁‍♂️🎭💥 Back in time again, we explore Kvarntornet (grindstone glory), Skolporten (where knowledge once flowed), Tjärkokeriet (a place once used to boil tar), and the magnificent Stor Cristin, the largest of Visby’s towers, standing proud and tall like a gothic Beyoncé.

This is not just travel — it’s theatre. Stay tuned for Part 4, as we continue the cruise and uncover even more Visby gems.

From Vegan Sausages to Costume Packing 🎬 A Day in My Life in Stockholm!

Ever wondered what a day in the life of a vegan content creator and theatre dresser in Stockholm looks like? 🎬🌱 Today’s vlog is a full ride—from editing and uploading content to bike rides, vegan sausages, surprise discounts, and prepping for tour life! 🙌

🛠️ THE MORNING ROUTINE

My day kicks off with editing yesterday’s Instagram story into a vlog for all my platforms 📲. Then I upload the video, write the description, and follow my daily tradition: sharing the oldest photo on my iPhone 📸 and deleting it to keep things nostalgic and fresh.

🚴‍♂️ ADVENTURE TO SKANSTULL

I grab my bike and head into Södermalm, to Skanstull to meet my fabulous friend Magnus 💁‍♂️ at HAQET – SWEDISH STREET FOOD. They specialize in sausages from all over the world 🌍. I had the vegan Marrakesh—smashed potatoes in flatbread with the most delicious sausage 💥. Magnus loved his spicy Merguez too 🌶️.

🛍️ A LITTLE SHOPPING NEVER HURT

Then it’s off to the shopping centre RINGEN where I get totally sidetracked by a 40% sale at HEMTEX 😅. I joined their membership to grab a gorgeous glass pitcher 🏺, two floral bud plates 🌸, and a lime-inspired cup 🍋. Stylish and smart!

🎭 PACKING FOR TOUR LIFE

Back home, I begin packing for the tour of the show I’ve been working on for years 💼. It’s a huge milestone and I’m both nervous and excited for what’s next.

🏡 ABOUT ME

After lunch, we head to Bar Nordic 🍸 – a sleek, design-forward cocktail bar in Stockholm where the vibe is icy cool and the drinks are next level. We try the RAJ-RAJ, a sparkling yuzu-tropical cocktail that tastes like sunshine in a glass 🍋🌴❄️.

The night ends at Stockholms Musikalartist Utbildning, where we watch their final performance showcase. And let me tell you… THEY. DID. THAT. 👏

Highlights include:

Outfit of the Day:

Before heading out, I put on my signature look: a denim bucket hat, superhero-inspired sunglasses, a red and black leopard print scarf, and my dark blue Marni jacket.

Culinary Adventure:

Cycling to Södermalm, I meet up with my friend Magnus at Älskade Traditioner, a retro restaurant on Södermannagatan known for its diverse waffle offerings. Magnus enjoys a decadent seafood salad waffle, while I opt for a vegan lunch waffle paired with a refreshing hallonsoda.

Evening Vibes:

On the way home, I pick up batteries for the fairy lights on my balcony. Dinner consists of vegan dumplings and a flavorful lemon, zucchini, and couscous dish. As night falls, the newly lit fairy lights create a cozy ambiance.

Ever wonder how content creators manage it all? 🎥✨

Ever wondered how a content creator manages editing, uploading, cleaning, and still fits in a delicious vegan meal? 🎥✨ In today’s cozy vlog, I take you through a full day in my life living in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm 🇸🇪 as a vlogger, content creator, and theatre costume supervisor 🎭.

The day kicks off with me editing yesterday’s Instagram Stories 📲 so I can upload them across all my social media platforms. Then it’s over to my computer 💻 to upload the finished video and write out the descriptions ✍️. I also continue my quirky tradition of uploading the oldest photo on my iPhone 📸 before deleting it forever 🗑️ – it’s a fun way to keep my feed nostalgic but fresh!

After all the digital work is done, it’s time for brunch 🍽️ out on my balcony 🌸. It’s technically spring here in Sweden, but it’s still chilly 🥶 – nothing a warm sweater can’t fix! I enjoy the fresh air, even if the breeze has a bite 🌬️.

But then reality sets in: the apartment needs cleaning 🧹 and I don’t even know where to start 😅. So I ask ChatGPT 🤖 for advice. The answer? “Start with the kitchen.” So that’s what I do! I crank up my favorite podcasts on my Bluetooth speaker 🔊 while washing dishes 🍽️, wiping counters 🧽, recycling ♻️, and mopping the floors 🧼.

When the kitchen sparkles ✨, I ask ChatGPT again: “What next?” – “Clean the living room.” So I move on, vacuuming rugs 🏠, fluffing pillows 🛋️, and trying to organize everything even though I haven’t figured out a spot for everything 🪴. That’s honestly my biggest challenge: finding a home for every item 🧩.

Lunch is a quick bowl of instant noodles 🍜. Dinner’s a feast of crispy vegan smashed potatoes 🥔, vegan schnitzel 🥒, pickles 🥒, and a zesty Korean cucumber salad 🥗 – simple, satisfying, and plant-based deliciousness 🌱.

To wind down, I light some candles 🕯️ and soak in a steamy, relaxing bubble bath 🛁 before wrapping up the day feeling refreshed.

Living in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, I work behind the scenes as a dresser and costume supervisor at a musical theatre 🎶. My passions include vlogging 🎬, vegan cooking 🥑, theatre 🎟️ and style 👗. Every day, I upload a daily video and post the oldest photo on my iPhone before deleting it – my way of keeping my feed nostalgic yet evolving 📷.

A Day in My Life: Editing, Spicy Bánh Mì & Theatre Fails | Stockholm Vlog

A behind-the-scenes look at my REAL day as a content creator and influencer in Stockholm 🌟🎥—from digital hustle to spicy bánh mì and an unforgettable (for all the wrong reasons) theatre experience!

My day starts the same way it always does—editing 📲 yesterday’s Instagram Stories to make them ✨ready✨ for all my socials (YouTube, TikTok, Insta & beyond). I sit down with my coffee ☕, chop up video clips 🎬, polish them, and craft descriptions that (hopefully!) grab your attention. Then, like clockwork, I upload the oldest photo on my iPhone 📸 and erase it—it’s my fave way to keep my feed nostalgic but ✨always fresh✨.

After my editing session, it’s time to hop on my bike 🚲 and head into the heart of Stockholm to meet Martin. We’re trying Saigon Baguette 🇻🇳, a gem of a Vietnamese restaurant on Gamla Brogatan, famous for its authentic street food vibes and mouthwatering bánh mì 🥖. I arrive late (thanks, traffic 🚦), but spring is in the air 🌞, so spirits are high! Martin’s rocking his black sequin tux jacket and a white shirt 🤵, plus I’ve lent him my red and black tiger-stripe scarf 🐅 for extra flair. I’m in my signature bulky black bomber jacket, covered in black glittery stones ✨🖤, and my matching tiger-stripe bag 🎒.

The food? INCREDIBLE. Martin was a bit overwhelmed by the spice 🌶️ but loved every bite. We had a good laugh over it—and if you’ve never had bánh mì, you need to fix that ASAP.

Next stop: Stadsteatern for Jonas Gardell’s play “Pensionat Oskar.” I had high hopes... but wow. I absolutely *hated* it 🙈. The lights and set design? Gorgeous. But everything else? Total bore 🥱. Martin was more diplomatic, but let’s just say we were both ready for something stronger.

Cue our escape to Sidetrack 🍸, Stockholm’s oldest gay bar near Mariatorget. Sidetrack is iconic: laid-back during the week, buzzing on weekends, with great Swedish food 🍽️ and signature cocktails 🍹. We chilled with a drink and laughed off the weird theatre night. If you’re visiting Stockholm, this bar’s a must-visit 🌈💫.

What if... my best theatre nights always started with vegan kebab?

On January 21, 2024, a crisp Stockholm evening 🌆, I biked over to Le Kebab (Upplandsgatan 51, near Odenplan 🚲) for a pre-show dinner that honestly deserves its *own* standing ovation. On my plate? The dreamiest vegan kebab you can imagine: sizzling strips of seitan, crispy fries, rich and creamy vegan cheese sauce, juicy pomegranate seeds, slivered red onions, and a fresh, crunchy salad 🥗🌶️🍟.

And the reason I was carb-loading? I was about to see the *first preview* of the Swedish production of *Dear Evan Hansen* 💙 at Oscarsteatern! Sitting with me at dinner were Lisa (our backstage production superstar 👏) and my friend Martin, who’s produced a few incredible shows himself 🎭. There’s nothing like the shared buzz of theatre people getting ready for something *big*.

“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 🔔
