Ice cold STOCKHOLM

The WINTER WONDERLAND finally arrived in Stockholm! 

Yay :) Cannot be happier with all this snow.

Time for long walks and even longer coffee breaks.

The days are really short and dark here in Sweden, so this is my happy-winter-strategy:

- Go for a walk in your lunch break and get some fresh air and light

- Buy some Vitamin D pills

- Eat and drink beet root

- Drink spinach drinks

- Try new recipes from this blog: http://www.greenkitchenstories.com/

- Go to the gym and try a new course

- Sauna, sauna, sauna :)

- Meet your friends for a creative sunday and paint, knit, bake etc

- Send a good friend a packet (for no reason)

- Get some sun in the sunlight café in Södermalm (Nirvana)

- Try new cafés/places

- Book a spontaneous flight to a good friend

- Plant something

- Prepare your home for spring

- Do photo albums of your last trips

- Plan your summer trips

- Read a book
- Put some warm socks on and watch series all day :)

WINTER in Stockholm.

11.00 Home: Wake up after a looong sleep

12.00 Home: Long and cozy pancake breakfast - Mums :)

15.00 Snickarbaren 7: Fika time! (this place is amazing!)

 16.00 Somewhere: Do a stupid-fun-picture

18.00 Kungsträdgården: Time for some ice skating and swedish glögg

 20.00 Home again: Warm your heart with a Julbord with lovely people and a lot of candles

The sun of NOVEMBER.

This November was one of the darkest month since 100 years. We just had 3 hours of sun in Stockholm. But on the last day of November the sun showed up and it was one of the most wonderful November sunsets. What a happy-sun-ending!

WELCOME TO THE COFFEE HEAVEN!

Coffee is like a warm hug they say here

- so take some time for a cozy fika (swedish version for coffee and cake) to warm your soul in these cold and dark winter days!

Sweden has in my eyes the best coffee spots in the world. Espresso House is a swedish chain like Starbucks and has such a tasty coffee with the best foam. So much love in a cup. Here are a few of my favorite coffee shops in Stockholm so far..

A day in the MOUNTAINS.

They say "You can move mountains".

I was thinking about this saying when I was on top of the mountain.

And I agree! I think if you really believe in something with all your heart, you can achieve everything!

You need to be a believer and have a little faith - live for your dreams and never be too shy to dream BIG.
