Cairo summer vibes are amazing so after the daytime chilling under the sun, I’m going dancing ’till dawn.

After living in Sweden for some time now, summer holidays means washing and preparing those favourite pieces which were hidden away.

When I was young I didn’t really care about clothes as I was a tomboy in everything I do. But the more I grow older the more I see myself as a fashion junkie. I love Chanel and Dior though I can’t afford them, but I’m also in love with the Other Stories, H&M, WEEKDAY. Still Zara is my favourite. I buy clothes from different brands as long as I’m in love with the piece.

The red carpet culture has always taught us to celebrate perfection, but the in the now and in the social media age, people yearn more and more for something human. We saw how people celebrate a non skinny model.

Yes there is a shift towards celebrating beauty which that’s not stereotypical.

I feel super happy when I see brands or stores in Sweden acknowledging every type of woman.

But for now I will celebrate my time under the sun and I will enjoy it till the maximum.

LOVE ♥

MY MAY DAY

Jasmine ElnadeemIMG_4120May Day (1st of May) in Sweden follows the Walpurgis Eve with a wide choice of events, marches and demonstrations taking place across the country to celebrate the working class’ rights.

The 1st of May is a public holiday in Sweden, and many Swedes spend the day either attending the celebrations of political parties and trade unions, or simply enjoying a picnic outdoors with friends and family, weather permitting.

I come from Egypt where I’m used to see the police firing tear gas and arresting dozens to break up the protests. But yesterday the show was different as the celebration is an important cultural experience for most of Swedish people.

For me it looked so pretty like a parade. People gathered at Medborgarplatsen and then everyone walked from there to Kungsträdgården by way of Slussen.

There were probably thousands of people, and you can hear different languages coming out from the demonstration. Of course there were plenty of signs in Swedish. But there were also some signs in English, in Persian and Arabic.

Along with being one of the largest demonstration, it was the loudest. That’s because there were several bands. Hahaha, in fact. many of them were playing at the same time.

In the end it was an exhausting Första Maj, but a fun day and great experience indeed, plus it was a sunny day 🙂

Usually I don’t eat sweets or sugar but this holiday I did my biggest mistake by eating cakes, cupcakes, chocolate, etc and the moment I started, I was craving for more. It was fun but everything’s good in moderation. I didn’t do any moderation.

After consuming too much sugar “Sugar Overdose”, I’m suffering from: Migraine; Skin itch; Earaches; Diarrhea and Bloating.
