How to Spend a Long Weekend in Amsterdam

IMG_1677

Hey!

Finally, I have some time to write again. With setting a bunch of grades and taking last-minute presentations, work has been chaotic! But, finally, there is light at the end of the tunnel and today is my last “real” day of work. After this, it is just easy days (football competitions, brännbolltävlingar, etc.) and in just a week and a half, I will be free for 7 months! Now, that is something to look forward to.

Alright, so last weekend I had an amazing long weekend in Amsterdam with my girlfriends from Norway. I worked a half day on Friday, took a plane alone to Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, and got extremely lost since I forgot that I needed to update my phone plan (since Daniel changed his). So, after wandering aimlessly without Google Maps trying to find the meeting point to pick up the key, I finally arrived at my friend’s parent’s apartment. Finally, the plane with my friends arrived and after a quick shop at Albert Heijn (which is definitely the best supermarket) for wine, cheese, and tapas, we settled in for our first night. I ended up staying in Amsterdam until the late afternoon on Monday. So, what do I recommend for a long weekend in Amsterdam?

Best Places for After Work in Gothenburg

Hello there!

party

Well, I am currently heading on a bus to Oslo to go visit some of my girlfriends there. Feeling a bit anxious since I won’t get my renewed passport until next week, so hopefully, I can make it through the border control. In the past 3 years, I have taken at least 20 buses between Gothenburg and Oslo, and I have been stopped only one time. So, here I am crossing my fingers for some good luck.

Well, with the thoughts of TGIF (thank god it’s Friday) running through my head I thought I would blog a little bit more locally. If you didn’t know, the Swedes are crazy about their after work (also know as AW). This is where the partying starts at 3 pm and ends sometimes at dinnertime! I mean, who can party on an empty stomach? So, here it is: where are the best places for after work in Gothenburg?

Microblading My Eyebrows in Gothenburg

IMG_0062.JPG

I have been following the microblading/3D eyebrow trend since last summer, and I have been anxiously waiting until I could find the right time to do mine. I have been longing to have them done before our long trip in the fall so I can slip away from the daily struggle to make my two awkwardly shaped eyebrows match one another. Unfortunately, I was not blessed with nice eyebrows. They may have been popular in the ’90s, but I was too young to appreciate my skinny little caterpillars so early on in life. I have been filling in my eyebrows for a few years now, making them thicker and longer, but last summer I decided that I wanted to be able to wake up in the morning and not look like a little kid. So, then came the time to book my eyebrow appointment.
