A Scented Journey Through Time: The Oldest Photo on My Phone

This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on June 29, 2023, in my bathroom in my Midsommarkransen apartment. The image features a Maja soap dispenser, a symbol of nostalgia and timeless elegance. I suddenly had the urge to revisit the iconic scent of Maja soap, a fragrance that evokes memories of Spain and simpler times. Determined to find it, I went online and discovered LYKO, a Swedish-based wellness and beauty brand that imports and sells Maja products.

 LYKO has become my go-to destination for all things beauty and wellness. Originating in Sweden, this innovative online brand offers a vast selection of products, from hair care to skincare, makeup, and personal care. LYKO stands out not only for its wide range of offerings but also for its commitment to providing expert advice and inspiration. Their user-friendly digital platform makes it easy to find exactly what you're looking for, with detailed product descriptions, customer reviews, and personalized recommendations. LYKO’s dedication to sustainability is also evident in their carefully curated, eco-friendly, and cruelty-free products.

Along with the soap, I ordered a Maja perfume, hoping to capture the same essence. Unfortunately, the perfume was a letdown—it didn’t match the soap’s nostalgic scent. Still, the Maja soap, with its blend of rose, jasmine, and clove, continues to take me on a scented journey back to Spain. The combination of Maja’s fragrance and the faint scent of chlorine brings vivid memories of warm Spanish summers.

Maja soap is more than just a cleansing bar—it's a piece of Spanish heritage. Its luxurious lather and rich scent remind me of the elegance and boldness of the "majas," women known for their flair and beauty. This soap is cherished by those who appreciate quality, tradition, and a touch of Spanish allure.

If you're as nostalgic about classic scents as I am, or just looking for high-quality wellness products, check out LYKO and explore their offerings. You might just find your own scented journey waiting to happen.

HOW I GOT MY LEOPARD PRINT CUP #GayVegan #TheatreLife #VeganStockholm #V...

In today’s video, I’m starting the day by diving into some editing magic—polishing up yesterday’s Instagram Stories for Reels, YouTube, and TikTok. After wrapping up the edits, I’m off to one of my favorite places in Stockholm, Kulturhuset Stadsteatern, where I’m meeting my dear friend Jossan. She’s just landed a new gig as a production assistant for the Stephen Sondheim musical *COMPANY*, and she’s kindly invited me to the second preview.

Honestly, the show didn’t quite hit the mark for me, and my friend Martin, who was there as well, felt the same way. We’re both huge Sondheim fans, but this production just didn’t resonate with us. But you know what? That’s part of the experience. Sometimes, theatre surprises you in ways you don’t expect.

However, the highlight of my day wasn’t the show—it was the thoughtful belated 60th birthday gift from Jossan. It’s moments like these that remind me how lucky I am to be surrounded by such incredible friends. The gift was such a sweet gesture, and it truly made my day.

As a gay vegan man living in Midsommarkransen, a cozy suburb of Stockholm, Sweden, I’m passionate about vlogging, vegan cooking, theatre, and style. When I’m not working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a theatre in Stockholm, you’ll find me creating content for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Every day, I also upload the oldest photo on my iPhone to these platforms—keeping my feed fresh with a touch of nostalgia. It’s a fun way to share bits of my life while letting go of old memories.

Lakeside Relaxation in Style

The oldest photo on my phone takes me back to a perfect summer day, June 28, 2023, at Örnsbergs Båtklubb, where my friend Martin is a member. In the photo, I’m standing at the lakeside, soaking in the sun, and sporting a pair of new futuristic sunglasses that give off serious sci-fi vibes. I’m also wrapped in a bathrobe from IKEA that’s more like a cozy poncho, making it the ultimate combination of comfort and style.

 This photo captures the essence of that lazy afternoon by the lake. The location, Örnsbergs Båtklubb, is a hidden gem in Stockholm, offering a peaceful retreat from the city’s hustle. The sunlight reflects off the water, creating a serene atmosphere that perfectly complements the laid-back mood. It’s the kind of day where time slows down, and you can fully appreciate the beauty around you.

The main focus of the photo is, of course, me—basking in the moment, completely relaxed and content. The sunglasses and the bathrobe add a unique touch, turning a simple lakeside scene into something a bit more special. They’re not just accessories; they’re part of the story, representing my love for blending practicality with a bit of fun and flair.

Featuring the calm waters of the lake, the warm summer breeze, and the peaceful environment, this photo brings back memories of laughter, good company, and the simple pleasures of life. It’s not just a snapshot; it’s a reminder of a day well spent with friends, in a place that feels like a home away from home.

This photo is meaningful to me because it encapsulates a moment of pure joy and relaxation. It’s a piece of summer, a memory of a day when everything felt just right. Every time I look at it, I’m reminded of the importance of taking time to unwind and enjoy life’s simple pleasures.

HOW I GOT A PINKISH VISION #ShopWithMe #TasteTest #PinkSunglasses #Midso...

Starting the day with some good old content creation! 🎥 First thing on the agenda: editing yesterday's Instagram Stories to turn them into Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikToks. It's always fun to see how these short clips transform into something that can be shared across all my platforms. It’s a process, but it's one of the best parts of the day.

Then, I step outside and find a little surprise waiting for me—a pair of pink sunglasses (because you can never have too many accessories!) and a salt rimmer for my cocktails. You know it’s going to be a good day when you start it with some new swag.

My friend Ulf picks me up, and we head out on an adventure to Värmdö, specifically to the big supermarket EKO. He’s on a mission to find some stylish slippers for his upcoming trip to Palermo. We scour the aisles, but no luck with the slippers. 😢 However, he does find a cocktail muddler, which happens to be in a rather cheeky shape. And of course, we couldn't leave without grabbing some goodies—Ulf loads up on Reese's Peanut Butter chocolates, and I stumble upon some intriguingly flavored snacks. 🌱🍫

After shopping, we set out to find a place for dinner, but every restaurant we try is closed! So, what’s a hungry vegan to do? I decide to do a taste test of one of those quirky snacks I bought, and let me tell you, it did not disappoint! 😋

As a gay vegan man living in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, my life is a mix of vlogging, vegan cooking, theater, and a good dose of style. Every day, I upload fresh content to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Threads. Plus, I keep things nostalgic by sharing the oldest photo on my iPhone across all my platforms before deleting it from my phone—a little ritual to keep my feed fresh and fun.

What’s your favorite snack find?

CALL HIM BO KAKE

This is the oldest photo on my phone, captured on June 28, 2023, at Örnsbergs Båtklubb, the charming Örnsberg Boat Club. The image features my good friend Martin, who, after taking a refreshing dip in the lake, decided it was the perfect time for a thorough wash. As you can see, he's standing by the water's edge with soap lathered on his face, embodying the carefree spirit of a summer day.

This photo, taken during a spontaneous summer outing, perfectly encapsulates the essence of simple joys and carefree moments with friends. The serene setting of the Örnsberg Boat Club provides a peaceful backdrop, with the calm lake reflecting the clear sky, adding to the tranquility of the scene. The rustic charm of the boat club, nestled by the lake, complements the relaxed vibe of the day.

Featuring Martin, this photo highlights his playful nature and the joy of being outdoors. His decision to wash up in the lake is a testament to the laid-back, adventurous spirit we often embrace during summer. It’s a reminder of the importance of enjoying the little things—like a spontaneous bath in nature.

What makes this moment special is its simplicity. There’s a certain charm in the unplanned and the ordinary, which often make for the most cherished memories. Looking at this photo brings back the warmth of that summer day, the sound of water gently lapping against the shore, and the laughter we shared.

This image is meaningful to me because it captures the essence of summer—freedom, friendship, and fun. It’s a snapshot of a day well spent, surrounded by nature and good company. Every time I see this photo, I'm reminded of how important it is to slow down and enjoy life's simple pleasures.

In today’s funny and entertaining video, I’m diving into a mix of creative chaos and everyday life! First, watch me turn yesterday’s Instagram stories into snappy videos for Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. It's a behind-the-scenes look at how I repurpose my content and keep my feed fresh and engaging. After that, I hop on my crosstrainer for a solid half hour of workout, proving that even content creators need their daily exercise!

Next up, I try my hand at a mockumentary about Sweden—spoiler alert: it didn’t turn out as planned! Despite the comedic flops, it was a blast to film and a reminder that not every idea goes as expected. On a brighter note, my sunflower seed sprouts are thriving, and I’m excited to share their progress. I then take a leisurely stroll around my charming neighborhood, Midsommarkransen, capturing the local sights and sharing the beauty of my surroundings.

As a gay vegan man living in an apartment in Midsommarkransen, Stockholm, and working as a dresser and costume supervisor at a theatre in Stockholm, my interests in vegan cooking, theatre, and style often shine through my daily vlogs.

This is the oldest photo on my phone, captured on June 28th, 2023, during a cozy night when my friend Ulf came over for dinner. Taken in my living room, this image features me in a light blur, clad in a black leopard print shirt—actually part of a pajamas set from H&M. The evening was a blend of comfort and friendship, where the lines between daywear and nightwear blurred, much like the soft focus of the photo. "A Night of Comfort: June 28th, 2023"

This is the oldest photo on my phone, captured on June 28th, 2023, during a cozy night when my friend Ulf came over for dinner. Taken in my living room, this image features me in a light blur, clad in a black leopard print shirt—actually part of a pajamas set from H&M. The evening was a blend of comfort and friendship, where the lines between daywear and nightwear blurred, much like the soft focus of the photo. 

 The living room, softly lit, sets the perfect backdrop for a relaxed evening. The neutral tones of the room contrast with the bold pattern of the shirt, creating a subtle yet interesting visual. The atmosphere was casual, reflecting the easygoing nature of the night. It’s not just about the clothes or the setting; it’s about the comfort of being with a friend, the kind where pajamas are perfectly acceptable dinner attire.

This image holds a special place in my heart, not because of its technical perfection, but because it captures a moment of pure, unfiltered life. It’s a reminder of the simple joys—good company, a relaxed environment, and the freedom to be yourself. The blurred figure in the image represents the fleeting yet memorable moments that make up our everyday lives. 

Ulf’s presence in the evening added warmth and familiarity, making this photo more than just a snapshot but a memory of connection and comfort. It’s a scene many of us can relate to—those informal gatherings that leave a lasting impression not because of what was said or done, but because of the feeling they left behind.

The story behind this photo is a simple one, yet it’s these simple moments that often resonate the most. It’s a reminder to cherish the everyday, the moments that don’t make it to our highlight reels but are just as important.
