Soon...
I am so happy today. My stupid coughing that have been torturing me (and my love) this last week seems to finally give in. This night I only woke up twice. I hope this night will be a normal one and all of my cold will be gone.
Otherwise not much is happening. I have been working and relaxing as much as possible because of my extreme low energy level.
I have been thinking a bit about what to to this fall and I am really keen on having a Halloween party! I think it would be so much fun to make scary food and decorate the apartment. We don`t have a lot of space so it will have to be a small one for my closest friends. I just love fall and everything that comes with it.

It`s all smoke and mirrors
This first week after the vacation have been awful. Trying to get back on track with eating healthy, getting back to work and having a cold just haven`t made me full of energy.
Today was quite nice though. My mother in law and I went to the beach for some sun and cooling down in the crystal clear water. And later this evening a big thunder storm was roaming for a couple of hours. I just love thunder. After a while in the light of a candle I fell asleep listening to the rumble.
While I still enjoy the summer I can`t help thinking of the fall which is just around the corner. I love fall. The cool crisp air, the scent of woods and leaves, the colors, the dark nights, pumpkins!, the rain and cozy evenings with candles. Anyone other than me that longs for it?
Now over to something else than me babbling!
In Gothenburg on our last visit I found this beautiful and very useful thing.
It`s a smoke detector in the shape of a moth. How I want it! To bad it is a bit expensive for me at this time.
I found it on this one place on the internet if you can afford to get one yourself
Pretty pretty little bug
It`s all glitter and glamour
Ok, so the first day at work wasn`t all that fun and I got sick just in a couple of hours!? When I finally got home my throat was so sore I almost could not swallow my own spit! Ouch. After a little food, pain killers and a small sip of alcohol I went to bed hoping I didn`t have to go to the doctors the day after. I woke up today and the sore throat is almost gone. Now I have a snotty nose and low energy but that is so much better in my world. I probably can go back to work tomorrow.
The weather outside is grey and sad but today I don`t mind because I don`t feel like I`m wasting time sitting in front of my computer. I think I will try to make a post about our Stockholm trip.
My coffee mug and the bottle of alcohol I used to cure my throat with last night..
Grey days like the pretty fog & the wolfs soft fur
I guess I took a vacation not only from work but also from blogging. Oh well. By the visitor numbers and lack of comments I see that not many of you are staying inside reading blogs anyways. Tomorrow I am going back to work and the grey everyday life and routines. I can`t complain, after all I think my job is OK and I have had 4 awesome weeks. For once the weather have been super and I have enjoyed every second of it.
I thought I could show you my new top so this post will have some pictures and substance.
I found it on Etsy and I felt like it would make a great relaxed top for hot summer days.
Jason is a favorite in our home so it is more than appropriate!

Dreams are made of this
My mind is set on summer and because of that I have become a bit lazy. Turning on a computer and stare at the screen haven't been a priority to say it mildly. But today I woke up to a grey sky and suddenly a retreat to it`s world seemed quite alright. My days have been filled with sun worshiping and easy laid back activities such as reading in the shade of my parasol, taking looong walks with my love, eating ice cream and be with good friends ♥
This week we where supposed to go to Stockholm for 6 days but it did not turn out that way. But happy news is that we have booked a another cozy hotel in Stockholm and we are going anyways!!! We are so happy about that and can`t wait to arrive. I really didn`t think we where going anywhere this vacation.
I thought I would post a few summery pictures here just to set the mood.
And if the bad weather are here to stay you will soon have a post with pictures of some treasures I found my last trip to Gothenburg.
I even have a dark but beautiful picture stored for you from a photoshoot Ninni and I did about a week ago.
Finally!!!
Yep, you guessed right. I am officially on vacation having my favourite beer to celebrate. Cheers!
Under the summer night sky
Just 1 lousy day left before the vacation!!! Wohoo!
Friday night Christian and I went out to see a friend preform with his band Mean Streak. I had a blast and was super bummed that I had to go home early because I had to work the day after. It was nice to talk to everybody and have a few beers. We don`t go out much anymore, perhaps it`s time to change that. It is after all summer time with light and warm nights.
It was also a perfect opportunity to dress up a bit. I had on my lovely spine heeled boots that you sadly can`t see in the picture and my beloved top from Spin Doctor, the skirt is from Lip service and is a really old one!
This was the first time in a long while I also had put on make up. I usually prefer very light make up in the summer because everything just melts away anyways. It felt good to be back to my old self.
Sleeping beauty
I am counting the days to my vacation and I am down to 3 now! 2 work days and 1 off, my day off is tomorrow so I am going to sleep for as long as I want. Can you think of anything nicer.
Tonight I did some internet shopping and this time it wasn`t shoes... I actually bought new bedding. I have been longing for some with a more luxurious feel to than the cheapo ones we use from Ikea.
These have been on my wish list forever but have never been prioritized. One can wonder why, bedding used every nights should be prioritized before high heels and jewelry used once in a while...
Now I only wish I had them already. Don`t they look fluffy and comfy.
The bedding are from hemtex.se and I got two for the price of one.
Bad girl.
Bad girl me for being such a lazy blogger. I apologize and hope I will manage to do better soon. My vacation starts next Monday!!! And I am longing like crazy for it even if Christian and I can`t go anywhere. I guess I will spend my time doing stuff I never have the time for when working. Like photographing, put together nice outfits and pretty make up, read more, spend time with friends, make pretty things, go on moonlight walks instead of daylight ones and perhaps create a bit of magic in the kitchen.
I am a bit behind on my "get creative" list I made in the beginning of this year. (it`s here --> click <--) and I will have to try to make three contributions this month, I look forward to it.
Otherwise nothing much happens. We have been out for some walks to get some exercise between work and other boring stuff. I have found out that the running shoes I bought don`t fit my feet at all and gives me blisters no matter what. It`s such a sad thing. Now I need to get another pair that works and preferably looks nice. I have found myself on the Nike page again, designing running shoes that are way to expensive...
Soon...soon my dear readers I will be free!!! For a little while at least...
Glad Midsommar
Here in Sweden we are celebrating midsummer today. It`s kind of a big deal for everyone. I am working but get to go home fairly early. I have already prepared a Rhubarb-strawberry pie and some Jansonsfrestelse! When I get home I just have to clean some and get ready because my parents are coming from Norway for a visit.
Of course it`s going to rain today but that is not bothering me to much. That means we can relax inside.
Have a nice day whatever your plans are.

I am blogging today even if I am deadly tired. It`s not only me that are tired but my Christian as well. We believe we have eaten to little food with iron in it and suffer the consequences from this right now. I was at the store earlier and bought pumpkin seeds, buckwheat, Brussels sprouts and even a jar of vitamins... Go away stupid tiredness.
Earlier this morning I was at the gym lifting some weights and sweating like a crazy on the cross trainer. And Tuesday I went on a super long walk in the beautiful nature. Finally I have gotten back to my healthy ways of living after a somewhat stressful time, It feels so good. As you may remember I wrote some goals for this year and losing the weight I have put on these passed two years was one of them. If I keep it up now the goal can still be reached. It has nothing to do with a weird body image and a desire to be super skinny, I just want to be at the weight I feel suits me and I like the feeling of being healthy.
When my last payment dropped into my account I did a bit of shopping online. This week I got my packages all at once. I would have preferred them a bit more spread out to have many small happy moments but that never seems to happen to me.
My first package was from Eyes Lips Face and contained something I use on a everyday basis. Their super good mineral primer and their mineral foundation. They often have good deals and this time was no exception, buy one get one for free, was the deal this time. I am so happy that they are cruelty free and so unbelievable cheap. Buying mineral foundation somewhere else would ruin quite strained economy.
I have also treated myself to some Lush goodies.
Two solid perfumes, Vanillary and Tuca Tuca.
A new soap called Miranda that has a amazing scent of fruits and flowers.
My beloved Dark Angels facial scrub. And a small shower gel to test out.
I also could treat myself to some new clothes from Actual Pain when they had their 50% off.
I have the pentangle leggings in L and they are a bit big on me so I bought these leggings in a M. Unfortunately these are a bit to small....Fu****K. I guess they together with the dress I bought in Liverpool will have to act as motivation to stick to my healthy new diet and get me to exercise more.
This sweater did fit perfectly though ♥ Oh how I love it. I am wearing it right now. Perfect for lazy days and lounging in. I wanted the vest top too but is was of course sold out. Maybe the will have it in stock the next time.
By the way...I am so tired of my header. I wonder though how my next one is going to look like. I need to think of that a bit and try to get the time to fix a new one..
Hurry, hurry before it`s gone
I am sorry for not blogging as much. But right now we actually have a bit of summer weather here in Sweden and I will not waste even a second because we never know if this is the only sun we are getting this year!
Some random iphone pictures from the passed days.
My new super ugly round sunglasses
Rosé on the balcony after a long sunny day. Yum!
My beautiful black Molly Sanderson violets looks incredible in sunlight.
The sky the other night.
Now I am off to work again and after I hope to catch some more sun. Have a lovely day!
Good times
I have had such a lovely day today. All weekend I have been lying down with a cold. Today was the first day I felt really well and tomorrow I will be ready for work again whether I like it or not...
My day started with breakfast and some sunbathing the balcony. I even got to read a lot. Summer is the time of year I read the most. I rarely get the inner calm to read the other seasons for some weird reason.
Later on I tried to get into my old shorts.... It`s time to get going with those losing weight plans...
I squeezed into a pair and put on a lose top to hide the muffin-top the shorts made on me and went on a looong walk with Christian. We both needed to get out. He for his back pains and I for some well needed sun and exercise. We stopped for a sushi lunch down town and on my way home I got myself a huge watermelon. One on my favorite things to eat at summertime. I also got myself a pair of shorts to wear until I can get into my old ones. Something that hit me when I was looking through the shops was how shitty the selection of shorts there are for us women. Tons of super short "sexy" shorts in all colors exists. But I had trouble finding a pair of longer, loose and comfy shorts. I guess we are supposed to be showing of all bits at all times. I found myself a pair of cool and comfy shorts on the men`s department instead.
Here they are, they look much better in real life than on the picture!
A little break with my handbag as a pillow!
Sunbathing on the balcony with my hat that makes it possible to read

My love♥
Now my legs hurt and I am super tired. I bet I will sleep well tonight.
Phew
Finally this work week is over and I can get some well deserved rest. It have been hysteric at work and I am happy get out of there. I only work Monday and then I leave for Liverpool a week. It`s going to be so nice to get away for a while.
The sun had stopped shining when I got home today but I had a package waiting and made some super yummy food so I didn`t feel to sad^^
Tomorrow some good friends will come over and I will also try to finish the little crafting project I have going.
This is what my package had in it, 6! boxes of mineral foundation that I use every day. It`s super! I also got a pair of eyelashes to try out and a high definition powder for those times I want the skin to look the best it can be.
I had bought some vegetarian caviar with wasabi. And oh my god how yummy! Christian and I loved it. I used it n my wraps with smoked salmon, rucola & sour creme. Christian thought it tasted a bit like I had put frankfurter sausage in it. Lol.
A unflattering pic of me on my way to work this morning, but SUN!!!
This is going to be a good weekend. I will make sure of it. Both Christian and I need that now ♥
Follow me
I really don`t like Instagram but I have now downloaded it anyways just to keep up with a friend of mine that don`t have Facebook...At least I use that as an excuse!
I don`t know how much I will use it but if you want to follow me there I am called miss666anthropia. And while I am at it why don`t you look me up at Pinterest too!
Just click the beautiful cup of tea to get to my page and see stuff I like and use as inspiration. I l♥ve Pinterest and always sit there every time I don`t have anything better to do with my time. So much pretty things and pictures.
If you want to follow my blog through Bloglovin just scroll down a little bit until you see my bloglovin-shoe at the left side and click it!
Take a deep breath and jump in
OK, so this is the first day in a long time I have felt the urge to blog again. The sad thing is that I haven`t done a lot or taken any pictures at all so this post will probably just be a lot of babbling!
My little crafting project was set on hiatus until now. And my plans are to fix the last parts this weekend. The next three days I will be working around the clock. The spring has come and today we even felt a bit of summer temperature sneaking upon us. It have been so F-ing lovely, but it also means that it`s super stressful at work. Everybody seems starved from the lack of sun and nice weather so now everybody runs to us to buy flowers, fertilizers, garden tools and stuff so that they can make their gardens beautiful and useful again.

Myself, I have finally gotten around to plant my little cherry tomato bush in a bigger pot so I can harvest my own super sweet tomatoes later on. This year I am testing out a new kind that gives fruit sooner.
Ah...I am going to take a picture of it so you can see it ;) Brb...
So here it is. Not much at the moment. but it will make me a happy girl.
Everybody should test to grow some edible stuff for themselves. It`s fun and rewarding^^ Tomatoes tastes a thousand times better than the watery ones you buy at the store.
What else is new... oh yes, Christian and I have been at two more apartment showings. The first one was so blah. Super boring place. Ugly kitchen and unsexy rooms...
But the next one I fell in love with. Probably impossible to get. It`s owned by a private renter and he can do as he likes. But I am sure going to terrorize him with calls, emails and begging. Lol.
This apartment has wooden floors, big spacious rooms, balcony with sun in the evenings, good location, cheap rent and best of all a fireplace!!!!!! it would so make my life better in the winters. Can you imagine me curling up in front of the fire with the snow falling down outside, sipping on a glass of vine. I sure can.
The trip to Liverpool is just around the corner too. But with the things going on here with the illness I haven`t really been able to look forward to it as much. We will go to Norway where my parents live in a week and our plane takes off the day after. I sure need this trip now. It will be so nice to forget how things are at the moment and spend some time with my parents which I haven`t seen in a long time.
I hope everything is good with my readers and I hope you have been understanding why I haven`t felt like blogging for a while.
Dark times
There is a reason this blog so suddenly have become oh so quiet... Someone very close to me have become sick. We don`t know what it is yet but we have our strong suspicions. As you maybe can understand the blog has become very unimportant and even all my creativity seems a lost in all the feelings we are going through every day. I feel strong enough to write this at this time and I hope it will be better as soon as I am adapting to his new everyday that lies ahead.

24. April
Hi lovelies.
I have seen so much more visitors the last days even though I haven't posted anything! Welcome you shall be and I promise to post something better than this soon again. I have been a bit busy with things and work takes so much strength from me that I can`t bear to be creative and write stuff other than things that will bore you till death...so I don`t with your well being in mind.
I have been working a little bit on a little thing from my list and I hope I will be able to post it before April sneaks by me unnoticed.
Spring fling
Today I have a late shift at work and could manage to squeeze in a blog post! Yay!
I am in such a good mood these days and I believe it is the return of spring and sun. It feel so good to get some light and flower into my life again. Last Thursday after work I cleaned the balcony. There were so much leafs and old wilted plants out there and it all looked so sad.
Some new pansys that can survive the night frost and a good cleaning of the furniture made it really cozy out there.
The day after I had the time to sit there for a while and when the sun was out it was really warm enough to sit in a sleeveless top. I long for the days when I can sit there in my bikini & big sun hat reading books in a jungle of flowers. I am not going to hold back this year. I will plant as much as I can. I did not get my garden this year either so I think I am allowed. The plan is so far to have a cherry tomato plant, herbs in boxes hanging on the balcony rail. At least one climbing plant, dahlia, lavender, roses, the black violet "Molly Sanderson" and some others I probably will buy because they are irresistible.
Metalocalypse
Ok. So I work and workout. Not much fun to blog about. And since Christian is in the studio growling his heart out I try to make whats left of the evenings when I get home not to boring. Thank you Ninni for reminding me to watch Metalocalypse. It`s the perfect series to make time fly^^
