Merry Christmas!


These were the only ones who wanted to dress up for you.

Happy birthday Freja!

She's one year old today!

She got a birthday cake.

And my extremely talented friend took some pictures.






I might get back to blogging more this year

I'm a member of a few online communities. Long hair community is one and I love it! It's my favourite!

And then there's a Swedish one that I've spent years on. One thing that I've done is writing several articles on hair topics.

But lately that place has become very toxic and the owners hasn't been behaving...

I've been there for so long, made friends and shared so much, that I'm not ready to leave yet. But for the moment I will be less active there. A lot less active.

And so I might take up blogging more again instead. I will for sure translate and share some of my articles with you here instead.

If I can get my editing program in order again, I might take up YouTube more too.

In general I hope that I will have more time and energy for my hair and creative stuff this year. 2022 wasn't the best year for me.

But yeah I'll probably breath some life into my blog again!

Anything you want to see here?

And here's some hair content! It's been such a long time since I last made an Amish bun, that I had to pull my hair through the last loop an extra time, to use up the length.



New tattoo!

Very happy with it!

Merry Christmas!

 

Weeding with the ducks and hot carrot soup

I picked carrots today and the ducks came running. So I ended up doing some weedeing, so that they could eat some worms.



One duck gets angry when I'm too slow. So she gets a time out in my lap until she calms down, when it happens.





Lots of home grown chili too.






Just a French braid and bad weather



It's really bad weather outside, so we're having a lazy day inside.

What I bought at the faire




Yup! It's the same as the skirt that I'm wearing, because I love it so much!









Sauna, hair wash and a cat

 
+12 C made it perfect to take water breaks outside.
 
My fathers cat kept me company and demanded that I pet her.
 
Dirty...
 
 
My leg got a bit hairy.
 
 
Letting the towel stay on, while I'm eating my sandiwches. The it's air drying time!

Today's hairstyle 02/04-21 Hawser coronet braid



And it's spring! So the outdoor furniture is back!

New hair fork

I got this Senza limiti from the long hair community swap board.






Merry Christmas!


What one does to take saunas...

Step one. Fill up a big bag of fire wood. Let your father move it with a machine. Move the wood with a weel barrow to the sauna.

Carry it inside. 

I think that we're good for a while now! It's my fathers sauna by the way.

Now I just have to carry some water tomorrow. Then I can take a sauna and wash my hair.

Did I mention that my family's from Finland?

Happy halloween!

I am spending halloween with my cats as a witch should! Not really celebrating, but here are pictures of the cats!


Someone did dress up for you!




Today's hairstyle. 22/10-19 Cinnamon bun

A loosely twisted cinnamon bun.



Book review - Heaven's Silhouette: Iyarri Chronicles Book 1

 
Summary
 
They aren't angels, despite their wings, but fearsome warriors. Yet Aurelia has something in common with them. Why is that and can she find it out without loosing her life?
 
I bought my ex from Etsy NightBlooming
 
 
What I think about the book
 
The book is written in such a way that you can really picture the world that Melissa has created. She brings even the little detail to life. The characters really comes through and you can follow them through joy and hardship while they evolve in a very believable way.
 
It is written in a way that gives the story depth and meaning. You never want to put it down!
 

The design is also beautiful and you can see the effort that Melissa puts into every little detail of all of her creations.
 
I can't wait for the next book and I highly recommend the first!
 
Extra
 
You can also get oils or misters that smells like the characters here. The oils smells lovely and personally, I love Melissas oils for my hair. The Aurelia oil is one of my favorite hair care products, both because my hair loves is and because of the amazing smell!

NightBlooming

I recieved my package from NightBloming today. I've been so eager to get it!
 
The book is so beautiful! My pictures can't do it justice.
 
As a patreon to Melissa I got to choose the number and bookmark.
 
Five oil samples from her book and also selkie and dragons blood. How great isn't it to be able to read a book and to have oils, smelling like the characters?
 
The oils smells lovely and I can't decide which to try first!
 
You'll been given reviews of all the oils and the book here, when I've tried them all and read the book.
 
The salve and detangler are stuff that I've ordered before and love. I also have a full size of the Aurelia oil and it's one of my favorite hair products!
 
I'm truly addicted to NighBlooming and I'm thinking about making a post about all of the stuff that I've tried, somewhere in the future. Is this something that you would like to see?

Cats and rose hip

I managed to lure her out too today! She tagged along for a while, before going back home.
 
 
 
 
In less than an hour.
 

Get to know me!

While some of you might have been reading here for years, a lot of you are new to my blog. First I want to say welcome! But I also thought that I should write a little about myself.
 
 
Age: 28 (born in May 1991).
Living: On the country with my boyfriend and our three cats. We live in Sweden.
Family (other than my boyfriend and the cats): My parents, three brothers and one sister.
Occupation: Cleaning for my own firm. No employes.
Health issues: Bad joints, constant pain, often low on energy and Raynauds.
 
Top one is the son and the lower is the mother. They're rom the local cat shelter. Adopted by my father as stable cats, back when we still had horses and are now ours. Ages 8 and 10?
 
Around 17 years old and a former stable cat.
 
Hobbies: Hair, nature, gardening, reading, sewing, history, crafting, tea and some more.
 
A few of my flowers.
 
My father and I are neighbours, so we share a greenhouse.
 
I did this earlier this year.
 
 
 
People who visits often tells me that I have a lot of plants...
The aloe veras are for making aloe vera gel for my hair.
 
 I do like to read.
 
We have quite a small apartment, so never mind the mess...
And yes, I do like manga.
 
 
Hair is a big interest of mine. I especially like natural hair care, no poo, historical hair care and hairstyles. But everything about hair interests me, that's why I read up on everything from the sciense stuff to hair dying.
 
 
I like to do different hair styles, and a lot of my own hair care products. I grow and pic a lot of ingredients outside.
 
I am growing my hair to terminal and next stop will be mid thigh.
 
As I mentioned, I like to sew. I made this dress in 2017.
 
So that's a little bit about me! Do you have any questions or would you like to tell me what your interests are?

Changing some things

It's been more than ten years since a friend told me that I needed a blog and started this one for me.
 
 
The content has changed a lot since then. From less serious posts in Swedish to more informative and inspiring posts, mostly but not only about hair in English.
 
So it's time to change things up a bit!
 
 
First I've added two new cathegories. "Hair care" and "hairstyles". The "Hair" cathegory is still there and all things hair can be found there. But new posts will also be posted under the new cathegories and I will put some older posts there too, to make it easier for you as a reader to find what you're interested in.
 
 
I haven't deleted my old posts or any of the cathegories that I'm no longer using and I won't do so.
 
Somewhere in the future I might also redo the blog design and header since it was a long time since I last did it. This time I will also consider the phone version, since more than half of the readers are now using their phones.
 
 
Please tell me if you miss anything on my blog or if have any suggestions!
