CHRISTMAS IS COMING EARLY THIS YEAR

I am such a Wes Anderson nerd; so can't wait for this one! To quote cnet: "Wes Anderson out-Wes Andersons himself".

Also very much feeling the poster:

Ps. Are you following Accidentally Wes Anderson on instagram? Love that account!

FOUR THINGS RIGHT NOW: SUNDAY LUXURY

Filling this one up.
I took a walk in the woods today, and walks this time of the year - although this winter is very much warmer than normally - always makes me chilly and calls for a warm bath.
(Will also add that here I am carefully balancing and cropping out husband's mini-motorcycle workshop that has appeared on the bathroom floor, with it's tires resting here for their second week already...)

Meanwhile, filling this up too.
The rest of the family is in the north skiing so might as well do a little bubbly by myself.

In with this golden Lush bath-thingie!

On with some opera in the background (with more volume than otherwise, as, alas, I am indeed the only one in the house for now) and then in in the bath with me!
Not coming up until I have reached full-on raisin mode.

A THIRD DECADE AND SIX MINUTES OF 2019

We are in the year 2020 and that means a third decade of keeping this blog has started.  It sounds like a lot, perhaps like more years than it actually is, but nevertheless that is the case. During these years the internet has changed, of course. Blogging has changed. And  I have changed - would be rather terrifying if I hadn't. My first very first blogpost was about my 26th birthday and I will be 40 next year.

The past years I have not had the same time to blog - as someone might have noticed (but not the 3746 spambots that happily keep on commenting about escorts and digital marketing) - but in moments blogging also felt too trivial, with all that has been going on in the world and society. I feel those who still hard core blog are so branded it's mainly just about sponsorship and product placement and I get it - blogging takes time and time is, after a certain amount of it at least, money. I am busy running businesses; both the studio and the showbiz and some kind of brand of my own.d At one point I got invited to things and events as a blogger or featured because of my style, what I was wearing and how I'd styled it and it always felt off, as I'd rather bring forward what I do as an artist or an entrepreneur. For years a very big portion of what I did was seen trough the eyes of, or reflected via the blog -  how to post about this event or action, keep the camera ready, post it before it  gets "cold". I do miss blogging from time to time but it is also a relief to not have this feeling of obligation hanging over everything all of the time.

So what about the "new" 20's? Do I still keep the blog up in it's third decade? Do I turn off the comment-turn-spam section? Do I perhaps update this ancient 2007-template? We'll see.

But before we dive into 2020, here is 2019 in six minutes, one second a day:

LOUNGING

I have worked so much and done so many things this summer I once again have some 5000 pics and 500 blogposts I will not manage to ever actually write. But meanwhile here are three, or; make it four awesome things right now-  wine, a vintage maxi dress, our living room, and just having finished a job and not having to do anything for the moment.

Enjoy the summer sun or hang in there with the heat wave, whichever way you feel about it.
