Travel Diary: Paris

 It has been a little bit quiet here I must admit.
But today I am coming up with a new travel diary post. The beginning of the new year started with a little city trip for me and the boy: We went to Paris!

~ ☯ ☼ ☽ ~

I already went there in 2004, but this time I discovered it in a different and new way. It was cold, and january is maybe not the best season to explore a city, but we were lucky with the weather.

In three days we saw a lot: The Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, the jardin des plantes, Notre Dame, The Eiffel Tower, Sacre Coeur, the Montmartre, Moulin Rouge, Père Lachaise graveyard [to see the grave of one of my favourite singers ever: Jim Morrison], Musée du Louvre, Shakespeare & Company bookshop, where I bought a few books, some vintage shops and cute restaurants and cafés.

It was such a great time, I hope to return later this year.

And here are some restaurant/café recommendations for all the vegan people

1. Hank Burger ♥ The place for yummy burgers (obviously).

2. Wild and The Moon ♥ Lovely place for breakfast (try the acai bowl) and little snacks or just to work on your laptop and sip on a smoothie or a hot drink.

3. Végét Halles ♥ Burgers, Hummus, plates with veggies...there's a big selection of yummy things.

Happy New Year!

Happy new year, y'all! I hope the new year will be full of inspiration, adventures and good karma!!!

November favourites

I really find this november favourites collection looks more like a summer wish-list than anything else ( : I did not arrive in the cold time so far, so my collection looks pretty bloomy and colourful.

1. I discovered this book "The Healthy Life" by Jessica Sepel while scrolling through amazon. The title caught my attention and also the content looks pretty interesting. It's all about how to nourish your body right to live a healthier life.
2. Wonderful painted hair brush by Free People. I am a huge fan of this brand, also the prices are high, though. This would be an eyecather in the bathroom...
3. Yoga mat by "La Vie Bohème Yoga", it's the Fiji yoga mat and super duper pretty...
4. Tea by "Traditional Medicinicals". Honesly I would like to try all varieties of teas they offer.
5. Really wanna try the products from "Nourish Organic". Not only the packaging looks pretty nice, also all content is organic, cruelty free, not tested on animals and nearly all of the products are vegan.

Octobers to remember

Hi lovelies, my favourite month comes to an end now. Autumn is my favourite season, when you bundle up in cozy big sweaters, a long scarf wrapped around your neck, taking your favourite autumn boots for a walk in the colourful forest. The seasonal change is just magical. Yes, autumn is so inspiring ! I got back into photography now, I am so lazy during the summer months. Now I feel like I am more energized. The smoky  and crisp autumn air clears the mind and gives me fresh ideas.

I hope you're all having a beautiful autumn.

Colourful leaves in the forest.

My cosy little kitchen.

It's pumpkin season!

Autumn fruits: Loving pears, appels and pumpkins. I bought a Butternut and a Hokkaido, I love the taste of both. I am also planning to make myself a spiced pumpkin chai. That's what I love about pumpkins, you can make literally EVERYTHING out of them.

My favourite mug, always filled with hot tea. Also this matcha cookie from the bio store was so so delicious ! I indulged myself with this delicacy after my workout in the gym.

This wonderful autumn letter made me really happy. It contained the yummiest tea, a cool vintage Merian magazine about Sweden with a beautiful illustrated landmap and a selfmade woven wandhanger. Thank you, Friederike ! ♥

Pumpkins as far as the eye can look. I visited a pumpkin farm today and bought some little baby boo's, which I've never tried before. I am courious what they'll taste like.
Oh - and isn't the big horror sharped pumpkin perfect for Halloween? I really like it.

All photos are taken by me.

Travel Diary: Sweden, Part 3

 Hej, finally I've found the time to upload the rest of my Sweden photos. Can't believe it's over a month ago that I visited this oh so beautiful country. I fell in love with it. Maybe you can guess from the photos what a beautiful time me and the boy had. The weather was just increadibly good, really untypical for september. But lucky us, we were able to be on the go every day. We visited lots of vintage shops with Sina, went to a cute café, explored the farm's forest, drove with the canoe and had the best days of september ever.

Have a look yourself, here's a flood of photos with little subtitles. 🌾🐑💕🌿🍑

Vintage postcards that I found in a second hand shop.

We explored the most beautiful forest with Sina, it looked like in a fairytale.

Cute garden somewhere in Nyköping.

Self picked herbs for tea: Hop, lemon balm & fresh peppermint. Everything from the farm's garden.

Swedish fika: Cinnamon bun with coffee and because I could not resist, I ate a piece of delicious cheese raspberry cake too!

Café Hellman with a cute yard to sit.

The supermarkets had the most amazing things! Lots of Oatly stuff and pretty packaged tea.

Wanna live in a house like these one day! ...

The cutest lemonde I've ever drank and seen!

Cozy afternoon in our little house. I loved to spent them with homegrown summer tea from the farm, lightening candles and blogging.

I sent some mail to my girls in Finland, France and Germany. Love ya! ♥

Things we found in the forest. A few chanterelles, wild cranberries and juniper berries.

Cute little mushroom.

We enjoyed the silence in the woods so much.

Just another mushroom, but we found less chanterelles.

Forest & garden harvest.

These two furballs were the friendliest tomcats I've ever met! Blåbär & Ralley.

New Moomin mug that I've bought at Åhléns.

Cuddle up.

At Café Hellman's again. This time we enjoyed carrot cake, a berry smoothie, brownie cake and a vegan bliss ball.

The cutest houses in Nyköping.

Me and Sina walking the streets of Nyköping.

Some things that I've bought at different thrift stores.

Passed this house every day. Sina and me called it "The Moomin House" because it strongly reminded us to that.

Gangplank to the lake next to the farm.

Sina lured the sheeps with some food to the barn, where they got shorn the day later.

Right before getting shorn.

Found a litte toad in the watering can and helped her out.

I will never get enough of these cute little red houses.

All photos are mine. Do not take without permission!
