🍄 Mushroom season has officially begun!

The first chanterelles are already peeking out!

Where to look: 🌲 Spruce forests with birch 🚜 Old gravel roads & tractor tracks 🌿 Mossy ledges with dripping water

You might also spot russulas, tooth fungi, or even the royal karljohan if you’re lucky.

⚠️ But don’t risk it - only eat what you’re 100% sure of. Sweden has some seriously toxic mushrooms too.

So... who’s already planning their next forest walk? 🍃✨

Trying to manifest fluent Swedish with nothing but Young Royals, kanelbullar, and blind confidence 🇸🇪🥐

It’s a shame I’m still too much of a coward during phone calls and end up switching to English… with some people.

(Like seriously, these call centers could invest in better sound quality - immigrants are trying their best, okay?)

🎲 Göteborg finally got its own Monopoly board!
 The new edition launched aboard the Götheborg ship and features local icons like Avenyn, Slottsskogen, and Feskekörka.

But with only 40 spaces… not every neighborhood made the cut.

👀 No Högsbo, Angered, or Mölndal - yet?

💬 What place you would have added? Let’s make the ultimate local expansion pack in the comments.

Picking up prescription meds in Sweden? Here’s how it works 🇸🇪💊

📲 Prescriptions are linked to your personnummer (Swedish ID number) - no paper scripts needed.
 🧑‍💻 You can log in with BankID and order online – for delivery or pickup.
 📦 When picking up in person, you don’t go to the regular cashier - you take a number and wait at the prescription desk.
 ☝️ If you ordered online, some pharmacies let you pick up at the regular counter, others still require a queue ticket - it depends on the place.

Honestly? It’s super smooth - this video is 22 seconds, and the whole interaction took under 5 minutes.
 And no awkward “trying to pronounce your meds out loud” moments 😅

🦌 The moose might be red-listed?!

Sweden’s moose population has dropped by 20% since 2004. Now, for the first time, it’s expected to be added to the national red list, meaning it’s officially at risk.

Experts say it’s mainly due to hunting, and the population could bounce back fast if the pressure is reduced.

But it’s not just about moose. This year, 228 new species might be added to Sweden’s red list - including fish, insects, and the Baltic Sea porpoise.

At the same time, some species like otters are making a comeback.

🔴 Swedish summer - expectations vs reality 😂

Swedish summer expectations: golden sunsets, 25°C every day, long picnics, lazy beach afternoons, strawberries and cream under a perfect blue sky ☀️🍓⛱
 Swedish summer reality: 13°C, sideways rain, wet socks, and checking the weather app every 30 minutes like it owes you something ☔️😩

But hey - when the sun does show up, it’s pure magic.
 And somehow, the rainy chaos just makes those golden moments even better.
 Swedish summer may be unpredictable… but it sure knows how to keep things interesting 🇸🇪💙

🚨 Ikea is suing Biltema and wants 4 million kronor!

Why? Because Biltema is selling two products that Ikea says look almost exactly the same as their own:
🪑 A small step stool (FÖRSIKTIG) 💧 A famous watering can (IKEA PS 2002)

Ikea says they told Biltema to stop selling them many times this spring but Biltema kept going.

Now Ikea is taking it to court. They want: ✅ A ban on selling and marketing the products ✅ All copies destroyed ✅ 1 million kronor in fines if Biltema doesn’t stop ✅ Money for legal costs and to tell the public about the case

Biltema hasn’t answered yet.

Did you know Swedes celebrate name days too? 🇸🇪💐
 As a Polish girl living in Sweden, I was so happy to find that out.

In Poland, name days are usually a big deal - almost like a mini birthday. Mine’s two weeks after my actual one, so growing up I always had double the celebrations 🎂✨

Not many countries do this, so imagine my joy when I realised I don’t have to give it up here. Sverige, you understood the assignment 🫶

Fun fact: according to the Swedish calendar, my name day is on May 20… But I proudly stick to my Polish date - July 5 💁‍♀️
 Once a mini birthday, always a mini birthday 😌
