My alarm is set for
My Swedish breakfast
My Swedish beauty routine
I almost always shower in the morning, except if it is during a real cold spell, in which case I don´t want to exit the house in -15°c newly showered. I use coconut oil instead of body lotion, and for my face I use A-crème, which is a really old school fat crème full of vitamin A.
It works really well even during extreme cold. If I´m on set, I wear something a bit more fun and casual, but if I have a meeting or another job I go for black and smart.
Then, I head to work by: Sometimes I have a production car, but if I don´t have a lot of things to transport, I use the commuting system. The subway is fast and quite reliable, and it runs late into the night, too. Not many people have a car in Stockholm. Finding parking is a real pain, and public transport is faster most of the time.
Thanks so much for sharing, Emmy! Are there any other Swedish readers out there? What does your morning look like?
P.S. My 3 product makeup bag!
what a fun series!
Thanks! It's been soooo much fun to coordinate!
Lovely new series. 🙂 xx

Ummm her breakfasts sound SO good!
Love this series already! Is it typical in Stockholm to go over friends' houses for meals? That's really sweet. Sometimes in America we share dinners at home, but never really lunch or breakfast! I think that's so cute.
I'm so excited for this series already!!
I love this series too! Yay for voyeurism & morning routines. Xx
I reeeallly like this already. Not to compare and contrast but on another blog I read there was a motherhood series done with people all over the world, except they were American's living abroad so you never really get the real experience of a native citizen. This is miles better.
I'm already sure every piece in this series is going to put my bowl of cheerios to shame! 🙂
I'm Canadian but lived in Stockholm for 14 years, so I think that counts, right? Sadly, to answer the question above, no, there is not a casual social breakfasting tradition there. Not unless you booked it 3 weeks in advance… Swedish breakfasts do rock though. Could include pickled herring and eggs with caviar too. My favorite was always musli full of nuts, oats, dried and fresh fruit. These sugary over processed breakfast cereals are yucky in comparison.
I miss Swedish breakfasts! So healthy and hearty without being heavy. I spent a few weeks in Sweden in 1996 and loved every minute. I'm going back next year for my 40th and I'm really looking forward to it.
Oh, I love hearing about people's morning routines! Thanks for starting this series, Sarah 🙂
Love this! 🙂
This is a great segment Sarah! I look forward to reading more "Mornings in ________"!!

I love this new series! I look forward to getting lots of new breakfast ideas from around the world. Emmy is right – it IS the most important (and delicious) meal of the day.

Oooh, what a great, interesting idea for a series! I'll definitely be checking in on this one! 🙂

Never EVER have I bought a product after reading that so-and-so uses it… but I just ordered the derma-e Vitamin A cream AND matching gel (for daytime, duh) after reading this! I'm 29 too and want my (half-Swedish) skin to stay as glowy as Emmy's!
Thanks for making all my key decisions for me, Y&Y friends…
I live in Sweden but around 2 hrs from STockholm. Going out for breakfast, or head over to a friend, is mostly a big city thing (read Stockholm), but it's spreading. There are two spots in the city where I live that serves breakfast during the week, and brunch on the weekends. I'm not all into breakfast, don't really want to eat until an hour or so into my day. If I'm heading out, I bring whatever I want to eat with me in an insulated bento box.
I really like the idea of this series. I really wish I could remember the blog, but there was a great series on how people raise kids differently in other countries. It was truly interesting to see the day in the life of other people
