A church on the move ⛪️✨

On August 19 at 07:55 AM, history will roll through Kiruna — literally. Sweden’s iconic wooden church (weighing 600 tons!) is being moved to a new location.

And you can watch it LIVE on SVT Play 🎥

This isn’t just construction, it’s one of the most spectacular slow-TV moments of the year.

Would you wake up early to see a whole church take a walk? 👀

POV: When Sweden teaches you that deadlines can wait, but fika can’t ☕🍰

For the uninitiated: fika = the sacred Swedish ritual of taking a break with coffee (and usually something sweet). It’s not just a coffee break, it’s a lifestyle. A social reset. A legally binding excuse to pause life and eat a kanelbulle.

No wonder Swedes are some of the happiest people in the world - they’re too busy enjoying fika to stress about work 🇸🇪✨

So, what’s your choice: deadlines or fika?

Swedish snack lovers, this one’s for you 🍟🇸🇪

Instead of coming back from the flea market with another vintage camera or random treasure, my husband walked in holding… Redhead chips by Mauri @mustigamauri
 Specifically, dill & wasabi flavour.

Apparently, he’s been hunting them down for weeks just so I could film this taste test for you 😆
 That’s some next-level dedication to my content (and maybe also a clever excuse to buy snacks).

So, are they worth the hype?
 And if you’ve tried other Redhead flavours, which one should I hunt down next? 👇

Matcha lovers, I need your help 🍵💚

I want to start making matcha at home and I’m on the hunt for a really good one here in Sweden.

In Poland I know a few great brands, but here I don’t want to spend a fortune testing random options. I’m looking for:
✨ Beautiful, vibrant green color
✨ Smooth and delicate flavour (less bitter, more gentle)
✨ Great for everyday drinking - both for me and the rest of the family

If you’ve found your holy grail matcha in Sweden, please drop the name in the comments - bonus points if you share where to buy it without selling a kidney.

Let’s make my mornings greener 🌱☀️

🔴 You can survive eating out in Sweden.
 Sure, food prices are high but compared to many European capitals, they’re not THAT shocking.

But the moment you add alcohol to the bill… 💀

A beer that costs 15–20 SEK in Systembolaget? Suddenly it’s 90 SEK at the bar. A glass of wine? Don’t even ask. And cocktails… well, let’s just say they’re the reason your “quick drink” turns into a 1,000 SEK night.

No wonder Swedes pre-drink like it’s a competitive sport 🍻

Nordic friends! 🇸🇪🇩🇰🇳🇴🇮🇸🇫🇮
Did you grow up yelling at Hugo on TV too, or was that just us in Poland? 📞🪄

Hugo was the Danish troll of the early 2000s. You’d call in, scream “jump!” or “left!” into your landline, and hope the delay didn’t send him straight into a wall.
 (It usually did 😂)

In Poland, it was a full-blown TV phenomenon. But was it the same in Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and Finland?

And serious question: did anyone ever win this game? 👇

Sweden might just be the world capital of second-hand treasures 🛋️📸

My mom? She furnished almost her whole apartment here with thrifted gems and Marketplace finds.

Tomas? He’s like a bloodhound for bargains. From rare analog photography gear to hobby stuff you can’t just buy new anymore.

The best part? Prices that make you double-check you didn’t misread the listing… and quality that often beats brand-new.

Whether it’s flea markets, “loppis” signs in the countryside, or scrolling Facebook Marketplace at 2 AM, Sweden is a second-hand paradise 🥹

What’s YOUR best thrift find? 👇

🦟 Influencers are promoting mosquito stickers but they’re not allowed in Sweden.
 They contain substances that haven’t been approved, and calling them “natural” or “safe” is illegal here.
 Experts say they don’t work anyway and can even be risky, especially for kids.

👶 Small, sticky, and full of untested oils = not a toy.
 📉 Authorities have reviewed over 20 brands in the last 5 years. None got approved.
 🎯 The message? Just because it’s trendy doesn’t mean it’s safe.
