Confed. cup and The Notebook
And as always a movie gets even better if you have the right things next to you, like a really delicious plate of fruits and berries and maybe a piece of chocolate ;)
Sounds molto bene!

Fiesa
I know it may not seem this way on the photo but there is a great beach below the shrubbery.
Homemade Pizza
I love to cook and guess what, I made pizza yesterday. It was the first time in my life I made it. In our family my mum is the "pizza-God" (I´m not joking, her pizzas are heavenly, the best ones I ever eaten! And when I´m in Slovenia my nona (grandmother in Italian) makes it or we go out to eat pizza). Anyhow yesterday it was my time to shine and that I did! Look for yourselves.
Oh, and I forget to tell you. It´s an old secret-family-recipe and it´s pretty complicated but I think I did well!
Back in Sweden...
Back home in Sweden. Feels pretty good actually! 33 degrees in the sun! The other members of my family are in our second home in Portoroz, Slovenia...except for my brother, he´s here in Sweden as well. So it´s he, our dog and me alone in the house for the next six weeks! Now, that feels really good.
My plans for the summer: work and just chillin´ the other days :)
Had my fair share of hot summer on fun during June in Portoroz, so I´ll post some photos from then later on.
Ok, it´s time to make my "strawberry-plate", grab a good book and head out to the garden.
Don´t miss Confederations Cup tonight. Brazil vs. USA.

Postojnska Jama
This little creature is called "Human fish" (Proteus anguinus). Don´t worry, they don´t eat human beigns. Their skin is like our skin and that´s the reason they got this name.

3 fruits
No, no these fruits are: apples, strawberries and pineapple.
Glad Midsommar!
Because Midsummer was thought to be one of the times of the year when magic was strongest, it was considered a good night to perform rituals to look into the future. Traditionally, young people pick bouquets of seven or nine different flowers and put them under their pillow in the hope of dreaming about their future spouse.
In modern Sweden, Midsummer's Eve and Midsummer's Day (Midsommarafton and Midsommardagen) were formerly celebrated on 23 June and 24 June but since 1953 the celebration has been moved to the Friday and Saturday between 19 June and 26 June.
Glad midsommar på er! :)
My 7 tips for a fresher skin on planes
We all know how it is before boarding an airplane. In what condition our skin is after a long flight. But no worries. As always there are things you can do before, during and after a flight to help your skin stay smooth, clean and help it breathe even in that annoying air on an airplane. Of course, you may still feel that your skin is "sticky" but I guess you just have to endure it and make the best out of all of this.
These are my tips that work for me:
1) Before boarding a plane put on a facial-mask full of healthy vitamins and minerals.
2) Then use a really good moisturazing-cream that lets your skin breathe.
3) If it´s possible and you don´t have any problems with it, try to not have any make-up on during your air-journey.
4) Drink a lot of water. Before and after. Order water on the plane instead of juices, alcohol or softdrinks. Your skin will be grateful.
5) Bring along (if you permitted to do so) or buy in the airports duty-free shop a bottle of facial-water you spray on your face for a fresher feeling during the journey.
6) When you land and you are in your hotel or at home clean your face very carefully + moisturazing-cream.
7) And yet again, the most important thing for your skin: drink water, drink water and finally drink water!
Have a nice flight!

I just have to show you this photo (again) my cousin and I took last week when we took an evening-walk by the sea from Bernardin to Piran.
Going out?
June ´09 in Portoroz
Mother´s Day
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be...
Mother's Day is a time of commemoration and celebration for Mom. It is a time of breakfast in bed, family gatherings, and crayon scribbled "I Love You's."
Love you, Mummy! :)
