I've been a bit quiet lately and I promise there's a reason for it. As you might know, I'm in the middle of moving to Stockholm, Sweden. After 12 years living in London, England,  me and Stephen have decided to have a bit of a change.

Jag har varit tyst det senaste och jag lovar att jag har en anledning. Som du kanske vet, är jag mitt i att flytta till Stockholm. Efter 12 år i London, England, har jag och Stephen bestämt att göra lite förändringar. 

We first flew to Gothenburg to see family. I also signed up to run Göteborgsvarvet, a half marathon. It was a tough run with lots of uphill, but I did it. 

Först flög vi till Göteborg för att träffa lite familj. Jag anmälde mig även till Göteborgsvarvet, en halvmara. Det var ett jobbigt lopp med mycket uppför, men jag genomförde det. 

This week I've mainly been trying and been sorting out things for the move and my new job. I'll be starting work in an organic salon called EcoHair Stockholm http://ecohair.se/. I'll become self employed and it's a lot of things to sort out, which all I find very confusing. 

Den här veckan har jag mest varit trött och fixat inför flytt och mitt nya jobb. Jag kommer att börja jobba på en ekologisk salong EcoHair Stockholm http://ecohair.se/. Jag kommer vara egen anställd och det är massor att göra, vilket jag tycker är mycket förvirrande. 

Today we are on a train across the country to visit some good friends in Kalmar, before we hit the final stop Stockholm in a few days.

Idag sitter vi på ett tåg genom landet för att träffa några nära vänner i Kalmar, innan vi kommer till slutstationen Stockholm om några dagar. 

I'm hoping to have plenty of time to blog soon. In the meantime, I would love to do a Q&A video soon so please comment below with lots of questions for me to answer. 

Jag hoppas att jag kommer att ha massor med tid för bloggen snart. Under tiden så skulle jag gärna göra en Q&A video snart så var snäll och kommentera med massor med frågor som jag kan svara på. 

A look at Gothenburg archipelago

Earlier this week I spent some time at home with my family. It was great to catch up with everyone and breathe some fresh air again. My mum lives on one of the Islands in Gothenburg's archipelago. The rest of this post will be somewhat photo heavy. Enjoy!!

Have you been to Sweden? Would you like to go to Sweden? 

The organic beauty revolution in Sweden

Organic hair & beauty is taking over in Scandinavia. I've always been amused on how much rest of the world wants to copy Scandinavia, but finally there's a reason.

I love going back home to Sweden as the organic wave is just getting bigger and bigger each time I go. It feels like the Swedes really understands how important it is and that we all have a responsibility to our planet. 

I just been home to Göteborg (Gothenburg) and I was so pleasantly surprised by the hair & beauty industry in Sweden. 

First I want to say a big Thank you to Maria Åkerberg who was very helpful to let me know where I could find her products. She directed me to M&M nail's and beauty centre on Vegagatan. I got a chance to see how big range of Maria Åkerberg there actually is. It was hard not to buy everything. It was great to see that she's doing so well and so many in Sweden care what ingredients they actually put on their skin. 

As more and more people are becoming aware of what they put on their bodies, they stop using harsh chemicals and eventually things change. The producers realising that no one will buy their rubbish and have to improve their products. More and more organic brands are constantly popping up. 

The consumers have spoken and the producers are listening. Finally! 

After I managed to drag myself away from all the beautiful Maria Åkerberg products and only the size of my suitcase stopped me from buying everything. 

I didn't walk very far until I bumped in to Salong Alexandra, an organic hair salon. Also situated on Vegagatan. Of course I had to go in and talk to them. I was in luck as I got to chat with Alexandra her self. They've been using organic products for 5 years. They're using organic colour systems. The favourite hair brand was of course John Masters but on the shelves was a wide range of different products including many Swedish brands. Alexandra is dedicated to her clients and always making sure she uses products with the best ingredients. 

By accident I also passed Ekologisk hudvård & frisör. They're an organic hair & beauty retail shop with a hair salon in the back. They've been on Linnegatan just over 4 years and just about to rebrand to Eko Linné. They stock a huge number of Eco products and they make their own products as well.

It's great to see Scandinavia to be a leader in changing the world.  

Do you think it's important to use organic beauty products?
