I miss Sweden!

Summer is the most difficult time for me when it comes to missing Sweden. Sometimes it gets so bad that I can feel my heart aching and my whole body and soul has a feeling of some kind of emptiness. 

I have not been to Sweden since 2012, and that was a sad visit to say Good Bye to one of the people I love the most, my grand father. I have not even been to his grave or walked by his beloved house....

I never imagined to live outside of Sweden for this long, yet it's my decision that it is that way...I can't imagine myself living outside of Sweden for the rest of my life, but as Little B grows older and all that, it will be harder and harder to move.

Right now, I am honestly sad about not being able to live in Sweden, although I have a great life here! I just miss Sweden, the traditions and nature. It also makes me sad that Little B would be more Canadian than Swedish. Nothing wrong with that, but I am Swedish....

I won't make it there this summer and its hard to see all the pictures online from vacations there. Although the weather sucks....at least something that I don't miss!

Ok that was my whiny post today.

Little B enjoys the pool on this hot day

Little B's granny got her a nice splash pool that we keep on our deck. She just loves it! We start almost every morning by going out to the pool. I have my coffee and watch her play. 

Every day with my little girl is a wonderful day!

Awesome Homemade Facial Toner

I have decided not to spend any more money on Facial Toners. I mean, why would you when you can make it yourself?
The other day I made one using these ingredients:

• Green Tea
• Tea Tree oil (a couple of drops)
• Argan oil (a couple of drops)
• Filtered water

Homemade Toner

I steeped the green tea for a while in hot water, let it cool and put some drops of Argan and Tea tree oil in it. Voila, I now look more beautiful then ever before and my wallet stays thick. Just kidding. Anyone get my sense of humour, I know it's quite weird. Not even my husband gets it...

Anyway...
Try this toner yourself, what are you waiting for? It truly is good, cheap and moisturizing. I put it in an old spray bottle that used to have toner from Dermalogica, so I can just spray it on my face. Very good when you just need a moisture boost or when you're traveling. I will make sure to bring it when I go to Milano this weekend...(I wish...)

Have a wonderful Sunday!!!
