Back in TO

I'm back in Toronto, and when I got here there was this huge snowstorm that flew in with me. We had to take a detour to Montreal and refuel, which cost us an hour in delays. I was quite beat when I finally got to bed around 3 am, cause I am one of those people who cant go to sleep until I have unpacked. Now being back here I have noticed that my skin is feeling a lot dryer and my hair a bit more frizzy and my lips are all chapped. I found this Kiss Me Exfoliating Lip Scrub a product from Philosophy available at Sephora. It renews dry, flaky lips and exfoliates them and makes them soft and smooth in seconds. Your rub a small amount on your lips until they are smooth, and then just wipe your lips off with a tissue or washcloth. Doesn't that sound like a great product or what? Something I am going to look into, I will give a review if I can manage to get my hands on it. Its a bit pricey, $15 dollars for 0.5 oz.

A lipsaver?

Tip Top

My favourite ice cream. When I was a kid, I used to love this ice cream, Tip Top. But all of the sudden they stopped making it. And a few years ago when I came back to visit here in Sweden, they had brought back this wonderful delight. Makes me feel like a kid again when I see it.

Anniversary's Count...

Someone asked me, "doesn't all anniversary's get scratched and become one when you get married? I said, "They all count, and that's why you my friend are still single." I think all anniversary's should count. I am not saying that every anniversary needs to be extravagant with fancy dinners and gifts. Just acknowledged and appreciated. Happy One Year Engagement Anniversary, baby. Miss you and love you!

A Moose is a Moose...

Last weekend we went to a Swedish flea market. You could get pretty good deals there, especially if you go there on a Sunday. I saw this blanket and I just had to have it. I have noticed that I like to collect blankets. They are so nice to snuggle up under when your relaxing on the couch, or cuddling up with your sweetie. This one caught my eye, because of the moose's. Perfect to keep you warm and cuddly in the winter.

Since I wasn't with my Sweetheart on Valentines, I took this pictures of some baked Valentine goodies...

Looks as yummy as my honey...

Back at home

So, I know I haven't been blogging for over a month now. But there has just been so much craziness going on and a lot of work. And unfortunately, the blog had to suffer. Hopefully, I can get my writing spirit going again.

Right now, I'm in Sweden, visiting my parents. Its not really vacation as I have brought my work with me. My trip is for four wonderful weeks, and I have already spent two of them. The first week I did take off from work, and I spent a couple of days in Stockholm browsing around.

So what can I say about this capital of Sweden, it has changed quite a bit since I last been there over three years ago. More stores and cozy cafe´s. One thing that I do miss in Toronto, is the Swedish cafe´s. No matter how busy you are here, you always have time to sit down with friends or family and have a cup of coffee and something delicious to go with it.

I came back to Sweden right in time for this delicious baked goodie, a Semla. Which is a traditional baked goodie in February, which everyone eats on a particular day, Fettisdag, or like me, every chance you get. Doesn't it look yummy!

This is called a Semla, delicious.

Mark Jacobs working with Posh

It has been reported that Victoria Beckham is going to star in Marc Jacobs's ad campaign for SS08. Apparently Mark Jacobs has praised the Posh Girl by saying, "She was a great sport. She agreed to do something rough and tough and quite raw. It wasn't days of hair and makeup." Here is a sneak peak at the ad. I cant wait to see the rest of the ad campaign.
