Jag är inte alls en sådan människa som klarar av det där med målade naglar, hålla ytan jämn och blank och lägga på ett nytt lager då och då. Jag har försökt, men tro mig, det går bara inte. När jag målar dem lyckas jag alltid komma utanför kanten, och inom en dag har jag utan tvivel lyckats förstöra ytan på åtminstone hälften av naglarna. Men detta lack vågade jag mig ändå på, det ska vara ljus-reflekterande och ta bort gula toner, och det är tillräckligt genomskinligt för att det inte gör något om jag målar utanför eller skaver bort det. Resultatet? Tja, jag låter bilden här ovanför tala (ser ni skillnaden?). Tummen upp! Har ni några bra nageltips?

I’m not the kind of person who always have painted nails with a perfect smooth and shiny surface. I have tried, but believe me, it is simply not possible. When I always manage to paint outside the nails, and within a day I have no doubt succeeded in destroying the surface of at least half of the nails. But this polish I dared to try anyways, it should be light-reflective and remove the yellow tones, and it’s transparent enough so that it doesn’t matter if I’m painting outside the nail or rub it off. The result? Well, I let the picture above speak (see the difference?). Thumbs up! Do you guys have any good nail tips?

De senaste dagarna har jag spenderat på Örsten för att få en sista smak av sommaren. Plockat bär, läst, vindsurfat, grillat, badat. Tanken var att jag skulle åkt hem och kalasat med vännerna redan igår men jag kände att jag ville ta vara på det sista dygnet här. Har en del projekt på gång så ibland är det svårt att känna sig helt ledig (även fast det är himla roligt), men här borta har jag alltid sommarlov på riktigt. Nu är det dags att åka för den här gången och jag känner mig redo att ta tag i livet igen. Hur mår ni idag kompisar?

I’ve spent the recent days at Örsten to get a last taste of the summer. I’ve picked berries, wind surfed, grilled, bathed. The idea was that I would have gone home and partied with my friends yesterday but I felt that I wanted to be here another day, it’s the last visit here in a while. But now it’s time to go back home and I feel ready to start working again. How are you today, friends?

Ni vet ju redan vilken dille jag har fått på roliga strumpor, så ni kan ju ana hur glad jag blev när ett paket från det gymma strumpmärket DaSein landade i min brevlåda. Jag tycker förresten att ni borde kolla in deras hemsida om ni är ute efter seriös strump-inspo! Vilka av dem på bilderna ovan gillar ni bäst?

You already know that I have a thing for socks right now, so you can imagine my happiness when a package from DaSein socks landed in my mailbox. And by the way, you should totally visit their website if you’re looking for some good socks-inspiration. Which of the socks above do you like best?

Hej kompisar! Idag är det dags att ta upp nästa väldigt viktiga ämne som sommarbloggare för rädda barnen. Dagens inlägg handlar om skönhetsideal, självförtroende och att vända på kakan. Ni kan läsa det på svenska HÄR, nedan följer en översättning för mina utländska läsare.

Hi guys! It’s time to write about another important subject as a guest blogger for the Swededish Save The Children. You can read the original post HERE, but since it’s on swedish I’ve traslated it for you here:

Today’s beauty ideals are something that provokes many of us and unconsciously influences even more.

We often hear complaints about the underweight models whose spreading low self-esteem from their flood-lighted podiums, also known as the catwalks. How hard it is for someone with curves to accept their body shape because of the beauty ideals. How we young girls are starving ourselves to reach the pin-thin perfection in the magazine?s fashion editorials.

I would like you to look at this problem from another point of view. It’s not always just about losing weight. You can hear complaints about skinny people everywhere, whether they are bad role models or weak persons who have fallen for the sick ideals. Believe it or not, but many of us thin persons really haven?t chosen it ourselves. We are also affected by the beauty ideals, but instead of trying to lose weight we are cursing our boyish body shapes and stooly legs, longing to get hips and butt. And it?s just as hard hearing that you are too thin as hearing you are too fat.

Sometimes people tell me I?m spreading these sick ideals when I show pictures of myself in short shorts or a cropped top. I am very conscious of how I look but I do not understand the point of trying to hide it. I’m definitely skinnier than the average, because of my scoliosis, I have various big hips and I’m at least an inch longer than most of my friends. But you know what, I like it!

We humans are all built differently and there?s nothing we can do about it. It’s not about hiding away all individuals with a certain body shape just to avoid that they will contribute to some sort of twisted ideals. It’s about being happy with how you look, and you should rather show yourself than to hiding. It?s important that everyone realizes that there are infinitely different body types. It’s just as okay to be pear-shaped or hourglass-shaped as to have as much curves as an asparagus. Of course it’s sick and wrong that one body type is clearly over-represented in magazines, commercials, fashion shows and so on. But it is important to distinguish between image and reality. Look around you, in reality all sorts of people exist! Only you can decide to not be influenced by the media pretend-world of perfectly thin, curvy, big -eyed, long-legged models.

Therefore, I refuse to hide my body shape or change it (other than by health reasons), and I think that everyone else should do too. We humans come in different variations and none of them are too ugly to be presented. It may sound very cliché, but a confident and healthy person is a very beautiful human being, regardless of what waist size she or he has.

Har återvänt till Örsten för att få en sista smak av sommaren. Idag är det fint väder och inte alltför blåsigt- perfekt för vindsurfing med andra ord. Hörs senare kompisar!

I’ve returned to Örsten to get a last taste of the summer. Today it’s nice weather and not too windy, perfect for windsurfing in other words! Talk to you later friends!
