Kisses! 💋😘 I thought I’d post something a bit different today. There’s a vintage shop in Stockholm in the basement, and they covered the roof of the stairway in flowers, so of course I snapped a quick selfie with it. Because my glasses and lipstick were colorful, I decided to remove the color on me for more of an effect. What do you think, cool? I know it’s not perfect because I just did it with my fingers on my phone, but I thought it was fun. New profile pic?? —————————————————————————— #stockholm #sthlm #stockholm_insta #visitstockholm #stockholmsweden #lovesweden #exploresweden #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls #söder #södermalm
🎼 Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream, really do come true. 🎼 I’m going to sing this song to my daughter! One of the colorful subway stations in Stockholm. I guess this is more like somewhere under the rainbow. 😝🌈 Pride month may be over, but we should love and accept people all year long! ❤️ Some people say, why do LGBTQ people need their own month? For the same reason women and minorities do: every month is straight white man month! ———————————————————————— #stockholm #sthlm #stockholm_insta #visitstockholm #stockholmsweden #lovesweden #exploresweden #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls #pride
Baby bunny and me at Drottningholm Slott (castle). ❤️🏰 Ever since I announced that I was pregnant, 98% of my ads have been for baby things. 😝 I make it worse because I actually click on half of them to check them out! At least their targeted marketing is more useful right now. And I should point out that this only happened AFTER I publicly posted this. I had obviously been googling pregnancy and baby things for awhile, and also messaging with people about it, but never got ads then. So relax, people. FB isn’t spying on you the way you think. People just don’t realize 1)how much FB already knows about you from your likes and profile, and 2) how predictable most people are. Sorry, but you’re not as unique as you think you are 😝. —————————————————————————— #Drottningholmpalace #stockholm #sthlm #stockholm_insta #visitstockholm #stockholmsweden #lovesweden #exploresweden #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls #29weekspregnant #drottningholm #castles_oftheworld
The lovely old streets of Gamla Stan are nice before all the hordes of tour groups start pouring in, so I’d recommend to go in the morning. 😊 I wish new buildings were all still colorful and charming. ——————————————————————— #stockholm #sthlm #stockholm_insta #visitstockholm #stockholmsweden #lovesweden #exploresweden #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #sheisnotlost #womenwhoexplore #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #femaletravelbloggers #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls #gamlastan
These views from Malcesine Castle aren’t too bad. 😉 Lake Garda was such a lovely place that I wish we had spent more than one day there. But it’s a good excuse to go back! Where do you think you spent too short a time, and now need to return? ———————————————————————— #italytrip #travelitaly #italiabella #italy_vacations #topitalyphoto #italyinsider #italy_ig #volgoitalia #magicaitalia #italiait #lakegarda #lagodigarda #rivadelgarda #instagarda #visitlagodigarda
Happy Independence Day, America! 🇺🇸🎉 Here in Norway it’s just another Thursday. This throwback was from one year ago when Rurik and I drove back to Oslo from the fjords where we got married. When you drive around Norway, you’re pretty much guaranteed to find beautiful spots everywhere you turn! Just look around you and be prepared to stop. ———————————————————————— #visitnorway #ilovenorway #norge #norgefoto #bestofnorway #destinorway #norway #dreamchasersnorway #nortrip #fjords #girlsmeetglobe #citizenfemme #ladiesgoneglobal #womenwhoexplore #femmetravel #girlsborntotravel #shetravels #globelletravels #girlsthatwander #travelgirls #gltlove
