Relax and De-Stress because you deserve it!!

Taking the train and heading to the north of Sweden. The silence, the nature, the space and fresh air makes this holiday a unique one!

I needed to relax, forget about the rest of the world, my problems and emotional moments. I’m happy to finally be far away.

Although my friend couldn’t guarantee 100% that I will see the Northern Lights but yesterday we stayed so late till we got to see them. OMG so pretty indeed.

I wish I can live here where I can just relax, go for long walks and watch the nature.

Oh I’m still easily impressed by the beauty out here. Puss XOXO

Coffee, Angel Gingerbread – Fabriques Butiker

Happy Sunday!! Time passes so quickly. How crazy Ha?!

Last week I attended “Saint Lucia” concert at Katarina kyrka (Church of Catherine) in Stockholm for the first time.

Yes, one of Sweden’s most famous and popular festivals is Lucia. It is celebrated every year on December 13 that is also the Lucia name day. I had the opportunity to see Lucia coming with song and music in the absolute darkest time of the year. The Christmas spirit doesn’t get any better than that.

It was also nice to visit the Christmas market in Gamla Stan, where we found a lot of Swedish Christmas sweets, smoked sausages, smoked reindeer, elk meat, handmade knitted hats, candy floss and glögg (mulled wine).

Yesterday I decided to work even more on my Christmas vibes and put my first Xmas tree on. Little cute one!

Undoubtedly, Christmas can be one of the most celebrated yet equally stressful times of the year especially for those who didn’t even think of shopping for Xmas.

Yesterday I’ve almost finished all my holiday shopping, found some great deals, still our food for Christmas day is not ready yet to be cooked.

Tomorrow I will be spending the whole day celebrating Xmas with my colleagues and I’m super excited and looking forward for it.

Today I’m chillaxing in bed then gonna meet my friends to enjoy some Egyptian food and open some early Christmas gifts ❤ Talk later, kisses and hugs!

Beautiful sunset in Cairo, Egypt

What a great time of year to have the opportunity to come back to my hometown, from the snow to the sunshine and palm trees! On top of that a chance to connect and network with some of my besties, old and new friends.

Yesterday I had my last day in Cairo before heading back to Stockholm and since the sun was shining, I decided to go for a last walk around the city.

My morning started with a breakfast at Pottery Cafe in Zamalek, then I went to have lunch with my family before I headed into town to take some photos of the sun. Vacay days flew so fast!!

When I got back it was time to pack my bags, have dinner with my friends, say goodbye and leave to the airport. So sad to say goodbye to those awesome friends.. But I will definitely see you soon!

From the flight I saw Stockholm covered  in snow like a winterland. So, another day with lots of snow and Cold! Ohhhhh I wish I could turn back in time and feel the sun on my face again.

Stockholm is that city which never stops, even in the middle of a snow storm. This year we have quite a cold winter.

Counting down to Christmas feels pretty anyway.

Now I will go to see my Swedish friends, and have some quality time with before the weekend finish.

Hugs & XOXO
