Hello hello everyone! :)
Here I sit this Valentine's Day and feel the urge to write!
I have my cat Viktoria in my arms, I am completely dressed in red for the day (dress, lipstick & nail polish) and just had a sweet heart attack because Viktoria turned her head and looked me in the eyes when I started singing a song! How sweet?
Got the question on Insta story from a follower who wondered how my start in 2021 has been, so thought I could chat a bit about it in the blog! :) I always get so shocked when I realize that people are reading and cares haha. I asked e.g. on Instagram if someone operated on the tonsils and wanted to answer my questions and I got SO many answers! Long layouts as well. Imagine how good a time we really live in now? You have like a team around you constantly. Gold!!
Healthier 2021!
Now I have been nagging about my throat problems for 2.5 years and it does not get better. But not worse either :) Now I have decided to run a final test period with different methods and if this does not help, it will be the knife. But I am so rädd för att operera bort halsmandlarna. Dessutom säger läkarna “frågan är om det hjälper” så det är inte ett lätt beslut.
The methods I am currently testing:
Infrared light! It is healing and is used on, among other things, sports injuries. I think it works so that the heat from the red light goes several centimeters into the body and causes artificial fever. This triggers a natural healing process in the area, a bit like acupuncture I think?
2. Move me more! Mina dagar spenderas mestadels sittandes framför datorn. Vi bor så litet så inte ens “gå till köket” är någon rörelse för mig, jag bara ställer mig upp och vänder mig om så är jag i köket haha.
I have therefore started dancing inside Annika's living room when she is at work! :) Headphones with spicy music and then I entertain myself by bouncing around for an hour type. It's great fun !! I do it Monday-Friday and actually feel on the weekend that I long for Monday to dance again.
3. Manukahonung - Heard that this should be good for sore throat. Honey is useful, everyone says! I hate honey though, especially Manuka honey I have now learned the hard way. But every night I take a tops and put a click on each tonsil, trying not to swallow for a while.
4. Eat only naturally - Enbart frukt, nötter, grönsaker, rotfrukter och vissa dagar fisk (men mestadels helt veganskt förutom ägg från våra egna höns). Ibland lite grekisk yoghurt som sås, men det är vårt största “fusk” :)
We eat quite healthy otherwise too but not at this level as we have been doing now for 2 weeks. But it's going great, I've never eaten so good and luxurious every day! Miska is so good at making healthy dishes incredibly good, I do not understand how he does! I'm otherwise a pretty picky person but this is just pure pleasure actually!
I love parsnips! Nothing new for this health period, but otherwise as well. How can there be so little talk about parsnips? Is it just me love the? I get safe from parsnip :)
Now it's exactly one month since I had a sore throat and high fever last time, so it should be on g again soon if it continues as usual. So keep your fingers crossed that it stays away now! At least longer periods.
No customer bookings for me for a period
After we moved the salon and I no longer have an office there, I have worked from home and only went in one day a week to take my regular customers. It's fun with my regulars, like meeting friends almost :) so I did not want to stop.
Jag brukar samla alla kunder på samma dag och det har gått bra tidigare. Men andra corona-vågen slog till hårdare än någonsin på salongen och efter flera “misslyckade” arbetsdagar så insåg jag att jag måste ta en paus med detta. Mina stamkunder bokas numera in på mina kollegor istället.
There have been so many cancellations at the last minute due to symptoms, which is absolutely right! But it does not really work for me who goes in alone for my bookings. Counting on bookings several hours in a row but then only having 1-2 customers, means that I went back financially after petrol, parking, VAT and taxes. I would have earned more by staying home.
Very boring! But still a simple decision because it was so every week, I can not pay money to work. No wonder :) Now I long for spring and vaccine so I can start taking customers again!
I still work with the company from home. Here I sit in bed with reports, salaries and layoffs. And the lamp with infrared light towards the neck :)
My other companies!
My working days mostly consist of other work though! Partly some advertising revenue via the blog, which we are working on to SEO-adapt even more. Google is the source of my biggest income right now, haha.
Miska and I have started a separate limited company and work with other assignments in addition to the salon. Miska also builds websites and helps companies with digital marketing, including to a veterinary clinic that has received incredibly good results from this!
But mostly I work with my third limited company. Emma and I, who are my new business partner, are developing a completely new make-up brand and are both working full time with this. It's video meetings, it's research, it's tests, it's negotiation, it's lawyers.
But more than that I can not go into unfortunately, due to privacy :)
Wonderful days!
When you dribble three companies in the middle of a pandemic, there is a lot that is constantly shaking. Even privately, our van is in the workshop again and my regular car that we crashed into a tree in the middle of the day, we find no cheap doors to. So it just stands ..
But I'm starting to get a little more fluent some days, I still feel! :)
Och så försöker jag passa på att njuta lite också, det är ju trots allt en ganska unik period just nu. Vi bor på samma tomt som Annika och Mileya – som nu är 2 år och världens goaste! Jag jobbar hemifrån varje dag och min katt Viktoria känner sig mycket bortskämd över detta ;) Jag och Miska har det jättebra ihop fast vi är med varandra 24/7 i denna lilla stuga. Och planerar dessutom att “bygga mindre” i och med vår skåpbil som vi ska börja bygga på igen så fort kylan försvinner :)
Just one such thing that this was my coffee break the other day! To live in the country and only a few 100 m from such a nice lake. I just wanted to take the glittering snow and lay straight on the eyelids haha, how nice? :)
Jag är faktiskt lite “förföljd” av ordet “gratitude” som jag ser precis överallt. Lite som att universum vill säga någonting till mig. En morgon kände jag mig super-spirituell och tänkte mycket på attraktionslagen och sådan. Då drog jag ett änglakort (inget jag gör mycket, men jag har en kortlek och tror på sånt) och fick även då kortet “gratitude”. När jag läste i boken om vad kortet betyder så var det i princip om attraktionslagen! Att om jag är tacksam för allt gott jag har nu och tänker på vad jag vill ha mer av (eller fortsätta ha kvar) i framtiden, så kommer jag att få det.
How appropriate! :)
Today when I was doing the dishes, my brain wandered away and I actually put my future dreams into words in a pretty good way; I want my life to be better than my Instagram! Haha wow how silly it sounded without explanation !!
Men alla säger ju jämnt “alla lägger bara upp det bästa på Instagram, det är inte verkligheten” och det stämmer ju. Men varje gång jag och Miska är ute och reser så känner jag tvärtom – det var mycket, mycket, mycket bättre än hur det såg ut på Instagram! Det är så mycket som försvinner när man bara lägger ut bilder och filmklipp, internskämten man skapar, den härliga stämningen o.s.v.
Så vill jag att mitt liv ska vara också, att när folk säger “ni ser ut att ha ett så härligt liv” så är första känslan “om det ser härligt ut på Instagram så kan jag säga att det faktiskt är yet better!" :)
Is not it a good goal to strive for? I think it will be so. Soon you will hear me utter those words, haha!
The life enjoyer Helena höhö. Here I am sitting in the car on the way to my dad who turned 88 this Thursday! Miska cooked fine dining and we had such an amazing time :)
Såhär såg Miska ut när vi åt lunch här om dagen, solen sken in så fint, jag var bara tvungen att fota! :) Nu ska han och jag “fira” alla hjärtans dag med lite film och te i sängen. Det blir mysigt!
This post is sponsored by hängmattaonline.se and now you are really hungry for summer, sun and ice cream in a wonderful hammock! :) Sure?
Hope you have a nice Sunday too and get a good start to the new week later!
Hug! ♥
