Erika's World

Okay, so surround yourself with beautiful things to be successful?! I have said something like that, havn't I? I have. So this weekend I was looking at apartments. I went to a couple of showings of two gorgeous apartments at Östermalmstorg. Oh my God! I could kill to live in one of those apartments. I am more into the first one that I looked. It was a lot smaller than I thought. But if you consider the location and the beauty of the apartment it is definetly worth the price (that's if the furniture in the living room is included). Check it out for yourself. I am telling you that you're going to die when you see it -  http://www.lagerlings.se/vara-hem/humlegardsgatan-7-exklusiv-etagevaning-vid-ostermalmstorg/ . Anyway I didn't start this post to talk about apartments. Got a little off track, sorry. My point form the beginning was to surround yourself with beautiful things to be successful. Inbetween the showings I walked around the stores nearby just to pass time. I we...

There is really no recipe for success. It's also really hard to say do this and that and you will achieve whatever it is you want. But I would say that a big part of success is motivation. Yes I haven't achieved all of what I want. A goal that I have had in life and that I have been lucky enough to accomplish is going to college in the United States. The whole gollege thing may not have turned out exactly like I planned from the begining but I did it. That's a huge accomplishment that I am proud of and happy that I did. A former colleague at Espresso House, Emilia, said a really good thing about that. She has also previously studied in the US. She took a year off from high school in Sweden to study a year of high school in the US. What she said was that when she was growing up she didn't really do any sports or something like that that she was proud of. And going to school in another country is a really huge thing to have done and something that you should be really pro...

Hello my little darling! How are you today? I am good. I am actually going to go for a walk in a little bit but I have to take care of this blog first. My mom has been here all weekend which as been really nice but she has left now. Whenever my mom is here I find myself acting a little bit passive aggressive towards her. Which I of course really don't mean but I can't help it. I do it towards everyone. It's a bad habit that I have. If anyone has any tips on how to stop being passive aggressive please comment below! I don't know but I feel like what I am going to write next is an important issue that needs to be adressed. I like to think of myself as a strong woman who has her shit together and that's the view I like to portray. I do have my shit together but I feel like that is because I have very high standards for myself (I can say that it hasn't always been easy). But you know I am human and the standards I have for myself as kind of unreasonable because I ...

Hi guys! How are you? I am good I have done much today except for doing laundry and taking a long walk with Merlin. I really don't like taking long walks with him. Like I was already going for  a walk and my mom asked me if I could bring him since she was going grocery shopping and I guess she didn't want hime to be alone, plus I guess he hadn't really been out for a while. So, IDK, I brought him. I mean, yeah, I love him he's a nice dog but like, you can't keep a steady pace with him because he likes to sniff things and all of the sudden he just starts to run like a maniac until the leash pulls him back. Like it's just easier to take a long walk on your own. Like Merlin and I went for an hour and a half long walk. I like long walks. I mean it's relaxing and freeing. And sometimes not so much. It's only nice if you're alone. I have been reading some more in Conor's book Take Off . Oh my God it's just so incredibly good! Like I am just learn...

LOL. So I rented this movie, Think Like A Man , today but I don't think I am going to watch it. I mean I don't think that I have time to watch it. Because soon it's Lotta på Liseberg  and an old friend whos' a backup dancer for Mary N'Diaye is going to dance behind her tonight so I want to watch that. I mean it's always fun to see people you know/ used to know succeed in whatever makes them happy. Hopefully I'll succeed in something some day. I like a lot of things. I feel like the most successful thing that I have had the last few years was Have It Hollywood but I stopped that. I mean when I first moved to Santa Barbara I ha barely no internet at all so I couldn't blog at all for a few days. Then I just didn't have time because of school and all I have now is Erika's World. I mean this blog is not as demanding as as HIH was. I mean I used to update HIH at least 20 times a day. I mean when you're in college you don't have time for that. I...
