Julafton ?

Jag vet inte om det är julafton eller vad som händer men den här veckan har vi fått 2 nya golv i lägenheten, jag har idag fått hem ett fint paket från Yves Rocher och jag har beställt hem lite saker från Nelly. :) Men så är det ju så att när man beställer från Nelly så är det inte alltid man får hem sakerna.. Så vi får väl se om ett par dagar vad som kommer och vad som inte kommer.. Lite tråkigt men så är det, man måste ju gambla lite ibland? haha.

Beställde bland annat dessa två, :)

Tuesday!

Hellooo, finaly back in the pool for the first time after summer! (i say after summer because at the moment its like +7c here in the morning and not very warm in the day time.. wää) anyway, i feel like swimming season has started again! Since it was the first time in like 2 months i had to take it pretty slow and i only did 1km. Tomorrow I'm back in there and going to the gym as well so woho! Feels good to be baaccckkk.

Mhm, my plans for the afternoon is go and to a massive shop of food and then basically move our livingroom into our bedroom and office because tomorrow we're getting a new livingroom floor. Can't wait! Got a new bedroom floor today so at the moment our bed is in the livingroom and everything is a mess. Quite liking watching tv in bed tho, might get myself a tv for christmas.. haha. :)

Aaand, we've had this little noodle at ours for about a month now.. i wonder when my sister wants him back? hmm..

Monday

Happy Monday! Woho!!

At the moment i am waiting for my kladdkaka to be done, it's a swedish type of cake.. Its a bit like a sticky brownie, haha. Basically what happened was Carl said "I'll give you a 10min massage if you bake a kladdis" and now we are here.. 4 minutes till it's done and i cant wait for my massage later (more like back tickles really.. haha)

Other than that i'm working quite a lot at the moment, nothing fancy just a bit of an office job which allowes me to read a book and drink a lot of hot chocolate. What else could you possibly want? :)

Anyway, if you have a blog (in english) please post it below.. im on the lookout for new blogs!

Tjingeling.

Glad Midsommar!

Just checking in to wish everyone a happy midsummer, in sweden this is a pretty big deal and everyone has the day off (except for carl, haha). I am pretty much ready to go to my dads. Spending the day there because no one should spend midsummers in a flat. haha. Så hving some lunch and cake there and then a bbq later on when carl get there. Woho!

Also, i've spent all morning doing my hair.

Selling jewellery online

Hi there,

If you have read my blog before you probably know i sell jewellery and have my own business called Rebecca of Sweden. It's goingok, but as all small new companies it's going pretty slow and it's hard to get the business out there. So if anyone have any ideas on how i can improve my skills and if you have any ideas on how to get a business out there and help it grow please let me know.

For now, i have some news on the website, it would be great if you would have a look. :)

(Also, if you're thinking about ordering, 10kr is about £1)

Chat Countdown!

Hi! So i know i've promised to write a little something about our little app we've been working on. It's a chat app where you chat to strangers for 90seconds, if you would like to speak to them for longer you can press the + button end you'll get an extra minute. If you don't want to speak to them you wait 90sec and then talk to the next person.

You log in with your facebook so you can't really be anonymous in there, which we think is a good thing as you're forced to be more honest and nice to the person you're speaking to. Also if you're younger than 16 you will only be matched with people your age or the founders of the app (for example me!).

After 5 minutes you get the option to send the person your facebook/ instagram / twitter / youtube account so you can keep in touch that way as our goal is for you to chat to new people all the time.

Before you start a chat you can enter in a few words about yourself if you want which the other person will read before your chat starts. If you choose not to do this, the only info the other person will have is your first name, your age and what country you live in (and your facebook profile picture) so we would like to think this app is very safe to use.

Anyway, click here to download the app! --> Download Chat Countdown!

Always say no to strangers.

I just watched a really cute video of a young asian girl being taught to always say no to strangers if they ask her if she wants cookies and things like that. Really cute video (link below) but it also made me think about how often this actually happens. I'm not sure how many kids this happens to but i can assure you it's happened to me, my brothers and my sister a few times when we were kids..

I remember when i was a little girl (can't have been older than 6) and we lived in a small town in Sweden, people would absolutely call this a safe place for your kids to play outside.. and I was asked to go to the neighbours and get my brother because the dinner was ready. This was about 25m away. An old man starts shouting me from about 50m away and i stop because he told me to.. Then when he is closer he asks me if i want sweets.. just like that.. I said no, like i had always been told.. and he got angry with me.. and i ofcourse got a little scared but didnt really dare to just run off.. then he asked me if i wanted 5kr (about 50p) and I said yes.. He gave me my 5kr and i started crying because i was scared and i knew i wasnt allowed to take things from strangers. He then got really angry with me and asked my what i was crying for.. I then said "I want to go home!" and then ran back into my house.. I told my dad, the old man was long gone and my dad had to go get my brother, and i was never asked to do that again..

This is one of many stories i have like this..

My younger brother who now is 17 used to always be asked ifhe could show people the way to ifferent places when he was younger.. As in "I dont know how to get to the city centre, why dont you jump in and show me.." he thankfully always said no.. who would have known what would have happened if he didnt..

Anyway, i think i was quite bad like this when i was younger because first of all i said yes to the 5kr.. and i also accepter rides with strangers twice. One was a really old man (and i had seen his wife as well so wasnt very worried as i had just fainted outside.. peados was the last thing on my mind).. Thankfully he was just a really nice old man offering me a ride when i couldnt get home on my own..

The other time was when we had just moved to a new place and i got lost, went into the petrol station and borrowed a phone and a man offered to drive me home. Why did i say yes to that? Anyway, i did and he was also just a nice guy helping out.. but that was just luck, i could have been kidnapped and raped.. who knows..

I'm sure women do things like this to, not just men but it's always been men approaching me with sweets and other things. How can this be so normal? Like it happens to everyone? How many sick people are there really out there..

The worst thing (like this) thats ever happened to me was when i was about 12 and i was on the bus home with one of my friends. A guy walks on the bus, clearly not sober.. and he sits down one seat infront of us but on the other side so he can look at ut.. and he gets his dick out.. yeap.. ha actually did.. and start.. you know.. mhm.. Told my mum when i got home and she rang the police, you know what happens then? I had to look at 5 photots (all 20years old to make it more fair or something.. the police told me) and i must have picked the wrong one because i never heard anything after that.. so i'm guessing he's still out there looking at poor little girls on busses with his dingdong out..

Anyway, we clearly cant't do much about the sickos out there in the world, but wveryone with kids or young brothers/sisters should be really REALLY clear to make sure they always say NO to strangers, men or women. It might just be someone trying to be nice.. but it might not be! Always say no to strangers kids!

Friday!

Hello, thought i'd post a bit of a happier post today. haha. So it's friday and i decided to not go swimming this morning because I'm lazy and fat. :) or just tired. I'm about to get ready to go out as I'm going with Carl when he's getting a haircut.

Oh yeah, Carl's friend Ben is coming over today, haha coming over, like he lives next door.. anyway, he's staying over the weekend so let's see if Mariestad has enough fun things to keep us busy for 3 days.

Ah well, i think that's it for now. :) Have a great friday people! Wihoo
