HOW I TURNED MY TRASH INTO DESIGNER FASHION AND A COCKTAIL PARTY


IS IT POSSIBLE TO FIND HIGH FASHION IN A MOUNTAIN OF TRASH?

Today we explore the magnificent contradiction of living! Have you ever wondered if your discarded remnants could fund your future feasts? We are turning glass into gold—or at least into the finest salt and the most explosive popcorn! This is a journey of high style and humble beginnings, a testament to the fact that glamour is a state of mind, not just a state of the wallet. We are diving deep into the art of the "re-sale" find, proving that the most iconic silhouettes aren't always found on a mannequin, but in a carefully curated box delivered to your doorstep. It is about the thrill of the hunt and the joy of the homecoming.


We begin with the clatter of recycling—a chore turned into a rhythmic quest for snacks. There is something deeply satisfying about the transformation of empty vessels into the crunch of popcorn. But the real pulse of the day quickens with the arrival of the Sellpy box. Watch as we peel back the layers to find a leather biker jacket that screams rebellion and a yellow H&M Studio sweater that glows with the intensity of a thousand lemons. We marvel at the delicate touch of Giambattista Valli x H&M and the playful spirit of H&Moschino. These are not just clothes; they are characters in the play of our lives! 🧥✨


The emotional crescendo arrives with a glowing screen. Magnus is back! After three months traversing the vibrant landscapes of Vietnam, he brings the world back to my living room. We toast to his return and to the tradition of DecemberRum. The amber liquid, the ice, the shared laughter across the digital divide—it is the warmth we need as the year winds down. We finish the night where all great ideas are born: in the deep, restorative bubbles of a hot bath. 🛁🥃


This video is for the seekers, the stylists, and the friends who know that a good cocktail is best served with a side of storytelling. Whether you are a fan of sustainable fashion, a lover of vintage hauls, or just here for the cozy winter vibes, there is a seat for you here. We talk about the beauty of second-hand treasures, the importance of staying connected, and the simple luxury of a night in. 🌟🧤

In today’s vlog, I start my morning in cozy Midsommarkransen, Stockholm 🌇. My first task? Turning yesterday’s Instagram Stories into cross-platform content 🎞️💻. I export, upload, and write that all-important caption ✍️. Then comes my personal ritual: I find the oldest photo on my iPhone, post it for the memories, and delete it forever 🗂️✨

Then I bike 🚴‍♂️ through the city to meet Magnus for lunch at Saigon Baguette – our all-time fave for vegan Vietnamese noodles 🍜🌱. Crispy toppings, silky broth, total comfort 🥢🔥.

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:
💃🏻 A tap number that brought the house down
🎭 A live costume change that made the audience gasp
🎟️ A final curtain call that shook the room

Maydori

Bright green and unmistakably vibrant, Midori is a melon-flavored liqueur that has carved out a special place in cocktail culture around the world. Originating in Japan, Midori (which means “green” in Japanese) was first introduced by the renowned beverage company Suntory in 1964 under the name Hermes Melon Liqueur. Its vivid color and unique flavor, inspired by the Japanese muskmelon (similar to cantaloupe and honeydew), quickly became a hit locally.

 

Midori truly burst onto the international scene in 1978 at the legendary Studio 54 in New York City, where it was relaunched with its now-iconic name during a party celebrating the premiere of the movie Saturday Night Fever. This splashy debut tied Midori to the glitz and glam of disco nightlife, cementing its reputation as a stylish and exotic cocktail ingredient.

One reason Midori is so distinct is the high-quality melons used in its production. These premium Yubari and muskmelons are prized in Japan for their sweet, rich taste. The liqueur’s base spirit is typically neutral, allowing the melon flavor to shine through with a perfect balance of sweetness and brightness.

Over the decades, Midori has become a staple in classic and creative cocktails—from the popular Midori Sour to countless tiki and tropical-inspired creations. Fun fact: Midori’s color was once so intense that bartenders often used just a splash to turn drinks a vibrant green.

In the 2010s, Midori underwent a recipe and branding refresh to create a slightly more refined taste and a modern look, keeping it relevant for today’s craft cocktail boom. Its low ABV (about 20%) makes it versatile and approachable for a wide range of drinks.

Midori remains a symbol of fun, creativity, and bold flavor—whether in neon-lit clubs or home cocktail bars!
