I’m still here…

I’m still here…

I haven’t written anything in months. For multiple different reasons. First of all, my blog was hacked and my posts kept being changed into spam messages and crap like that. As much as I wanted to sort that out, I felt I didn’t have the time or energy to, so I sort of just stopped updating my blog. I still haven’t really done anything about it, so it’ll likely happen again. Secondly, I feel like…

Turns out commuting is pretty exhausting

Turns out commuting is pretty exhausting

Train
I haven’t written a blog post in a while. Some random hacker wrote a post for me recently though, so that was nice of them to try to keep my blog going while I was busy trying to sort out my life. I guess I should be flattered that they considered my blog hack-worthy. I’ve now completed three weeks in my new job. Time flies! I work for a start-up company called Tinitell. Look it up, it’s pretty…

I’ve scored myself a job in Stockholm!

I’ve scored myself a job in Stockholm!

Job
So it happened – I got a job. I didn’t want to write anything too soon, just in case it fell through somehow, but luckily it hasn’t. I went up to Stockholm for an interview a while back and got an email last week confirming they’d like me to join their company! I don’t think anyone was expecting me to get a job that quickly, least of all me! I was so nervous before the interview, I thought I was…

Give someone a hug today!

Give someone a hug today!

Hug
Today is National Hugging Day. If you’re not normally a hugger, surprise someone with a hug today! If you’re the kind of person who always hug people, hug them for even longer today. Don’t forget to hug your pets too. They probably appreciate it more than you think, or that’s what I keep telling myself anyway!   A hug is like a boomerang – you get it back right away. – Bil Keane   When I come…

Which travel destinations are next on my list?

Which travel destinations are next on my list?

Travel list
I can’t wait until I get a job and start earning money again. It’s great to have time off, but when you look at your bank account and realise that there is no money coming in, only money going out, it gets depressing pretty fast. I’d like to be able to spend some money without freaking out about going completely broke. One of the first things I’ll do after getting a job is travel. Now that we…

I bought myself a gift from Colourpop

I bought myself a gift from Colourpop

Colourpop
So here’s the thing – I’m unemployed. Being unemployed means I can’t really afford spending money on unnecessary things. That can sometimes get quite depressing, especially if you see something you really like. You feel the disappointment growing and it makes you sad. Last night, I was just watching YouTube videos as I usually do, when I came across some Colourpop swatch videos. I’ve only got one…

10 things you may not know about Friday the 13th

10 things you may not know about Friday the 13th

Friday 13th
Yup, today is Friday the 13th, a day many fear. I’m not going to lie, I’m extra careful when it’s Friday the 13th and I don’t even know why. I don’t even believe in it, and still there must be a small part of me that does. I can’t actually recall anything terrible happening to me on that day, except one time when I just had an overall shitty day. That doesn’t count though, does it? I decided to…

And so our adventure in Sweden finally begins!

Heart3
It happened. Jeremy’s residence visa was approved and I couldn’t be more excited. He’s now a permanent resident in Sweden! It feels a bit unreal at the moment. Maybe because he hasn’t come back from London yet, but I’m sure it will all sink in once he’s back. We contacted Migrationsverket a few times to get updates on how long it would take, and we weren’t too hopeful, because this is what they…

7 Delicious Milkshake Recipes

7 Delicious Milkshake Recipes

milk
OK, I have to admit – I haven’t tried a single one of these. So by describing them as delicious in the post title, I’m basing this on looks and how delicious the ingredients sound. I would love to try them all though, I really would. Today is National Milk Day, so what better way to observe it than sharing milkshake recipes. Well, trying them would be a tad better I suppose. If you want the…

Walking in a winter wonderland

Walking in a winter wonderland

DSC01790
As soon as the snow arrived, I felt I needed to head out for a walk or two to take it all in and just enjoy winter at its best. Walking is still quite pleasant when it’s around 0 degrees outside, as long as you have a few layers of clothing on. However, I realised pretty soon during my second walk that -13 doesn’t feel quite as nice. I almost lost my legs to frostbite. I was saying to Jeremy that…
