Ambrose 30th birthday
December 11. Ambrose’s 30th birthday. We had a big family picnic for him yesterday, just because its easier to get that many people together on a weekend. It was not at all as I expected to be. But you live, you learn.
On his actual birthday, which is today, we have been starting the day with swimming and body surfing at 3 different beaches. Then a big brunch. Go carting with his brothers, birthday cake with Xavier (Ambrose is his Godfather) and then we were starving and wanted to go to this nice restaurant with a beautiful view…. but we did not call beforehand and as we show up there we found out they are closed on Monday’s!! Ahhh. We quickly changed plans ( because we were starving at this point !) So instead we had a very dinner at The Bayview. Seafood platter, extra oysters and grilled beef with creamy garlic sauce. Yum. Very nice, will def be back.As we still will continue to celebrate with his friends the following weekend i will not say much for now. hahah more to come on this whole birthday madness!

surfing at avoca beach
Avoca beach
Hello little darlings, how are things?
We have been surfing at Avoca beach, well Ambrose did, I just took a quick dip. Way too cold for me. But we have also spent most of our day hunting for apartments. Its Saturday here which means openings for inspections. So that’s what we have been busy with today. I must say though, that I am pleasantly surprised of what is out there. Very nice apartments with alot of potentials. Cannot wait for when we move in to OUR OWN place. And I can decorate it just as we want. I am mostly excited to have everyone over for our first Christmas party, and I want that to be tradition – Christmas at ours.Our surf time at Avoca beach was not for long, we were there just for a quick surf and dip. Of course when you are dating a “merman” you kind of have to spend at least some time at the beach ever day. After the beach I dropped Ambrose at the house and went to get some food and decorations for his birthday party tomorrow. I am very excited, think its gonna be great. Might have overdone it a tiny but on the decorations but we be fine!
Now I am going to watch an episode of New Girl and end this nice day with a good night sleep. Lots of preparation to be done tomorrow.
Good night.xx

Bart & Kali’s wedding part II
Luckily (or unlucky for me of course 🙁 ) I am still having this damn virus so all I can do is rest. Which means I have time to put up all the remaining pictures from Bart and Kali’s wedding in Byron Bay.
The only big achievement for today is to find a good spot for next Sunday when the whole family is gathering to celebrate Ambrose 30th. I was totally exhausted after that. Coughing like crazy, so I ordered a take away coffee and went back to the house. I HAVE TO get well before the weekend comes!What a nice memory these lovely Byron Bay and especially the wedding has now become. Every picture makes me smile. Hope Bart and Kali have an amazing honeymoon!
Lets have a look at the picture rain I just put up here, shall we?
Me and Anastasia. Sipping champagne after a very hot ,but very fun bus ride to the venue
With the pretty girl Amy. I hardly recognized myself when I saw this picture.
Doesn’t really look like me for some strange reason..
hahaha You just gotta love Jess
I snuck up to the groomsmen’s loft to see what they had been up to the night before the wedding.
And also to steal their nice whiskey. I don’t know why but I can only drink one glass of champagne. I drank whiskey sour rest of the night
The temporary Byron Bay ladies. They are all old friends of Bart (the groom)
From the left: Jessica, Kate, Suzy, Natalia, Talia and Monica
Bart’s handsome groomsmen; Ambrose, Kappa, Latif, and Andy. Ambrose has been best man to a couple of his friends now. One of the guys told me that we will probably have to have a whole damn train of groomsmen for our wedding….
Best man assisting with the brides wedding bouquet. Kali had chosen beautiful native flowers throughout the whole wedding which was really nice
Handing over the wedding rings
Stunning bride and groom
We were all on the dance floor pretty much most of the evening. Exactly how I think a wedding should be.

Mrs and Mrs Kennett !! <3
The witnesses signing – Best man Ambrose and made of honor Kali’s sister Nikki
Having a drink with the girls Jessica, Suzie, Natalia, Kate, Talia and MonicaI finally got together some of the pictures from Bart & Kali’s wonderful wedding. Sorry it took so long, I am still sick and went to the Dr today.
Bart and Kali had organized one of the most amazing wedding I’ve even been to! Cant have been easy but somehow everything was perfectly planned and they looked stunning! I smiled so much my face almost hurt at the end of the evening. The are both amazing people and they deserve this – an amazing wedding.
I am glad Bart and Ambrose are best friends. So I now get to have Bart and Kali as friends <3I have to find some better pictures of Kali. She looked magical as she walked down. But it will have to wait until tomorrow, it’s getting late and we are getting up at 5am, someone wants to go surf before work….hmmm. xx

back in Sydney after an amazing wedding in Byron Bay
Hi! Just a quick hello before I get back to what I was doing, watching cartoons in bed. hahha. I need it, its been a couple of hectic but beautiful and memorable days in Byron Bay. We just got back to Sydney after an 8 hour long drive. Puh! Our friends Bart and Kali got married last Saturday up in Byron Bay. And what a wedding!! They had one of the best weddings I’ve ever been to.
Congratulations guys, and thank you for organizing such an gorgeous wedding. Everything was just…well perfect.I have a some photos to show you. For now, my apologies but this blurry one will have to do. Here I am on the dance floor with one of the bridesmaids, Amy, Mia and the best man of course, my beautiful man Ambrose.
As I said, much more (and less blurry) pictures from Bart and Kali’s wedding, and well, the whole long weekend in Byron Bay mañana. Sssooooo tired now. xx

New Balayage hair
Good morning, just a quick hello to show you guys how my hair turned out. I am very very happy with the end result! It was definitely worth the four hours at the salon. My new hairdresser was named Joe and he was amazing. Bear in mind my old hair; dark brown roots, red/brown in the middle parts and the ends, platinum blond. Yes it was a mess which is why I know Joe knows his stuff! Its not easy turning hair like that into this beautiful balayage. So thank you Joe.Okey that’s it. Not much more I have to say. I just came in here to write about my new balayage hair. Not superficial at all…..
Back to my peppermint tea and washing clothes. We are leaving for Byron Bay tomorrow so want to be backed and ready. If Ambrose manages to get the Thursday off, we will be leaving in the morning instead of afternoon. That would be preferable. See you guys later.xx________________________________________

Finally booked an appointment to the hairdresser in Sydney
Detoxing days. Breakfast when you don’t really have anything and throw together whatever you can find in the fridge
My Hairdresser team back in Sweden. I finally booked an appointment to the hairdresser in Sydney
Good evening everyone. I just got out of the shower, drinking a peppermint tea, about to move into bed for the night. Tomorrow I am finally getting this crazy hair of mine done! A couple of days ago I booked an appointment at a new salon for a balayage, cut and blowdry. I am thinking to lighten up the roots and the rest I am having ashy blond. Also, I just though about the fact that I will most likely sit in the hairdressers chair for around 5 hours (this is how crazy long it usually takes to get my hair done !) So I better buy some lunch to eat while I am in there.
Ambrose wanted to try a new detox and I am going to do it with him. You eat normally (well try an d be healthy as much as possible of course) but you stop eating at 4pm. It’s like a fast-detox if you will. Some health guy at his work recommended this so we wanted to give it a try. Why not!?
Alrighty then! See you guys tomorrow with my new hair. I realize nobody but me cares, but still haha. xx

Celebrating Nicolas Birthday with a picnic and paddle boarding
Love this picture of Anastasia, Leggs and Harper
Anastasia, I and the birthday boy Nicolas
Some of us are clearly not dressed for paddle boarding….
The Entrance Beach
Today we went to Canton Beach to celebrate Nicolas birthday. We did that with a picnic and some paddle boarding.
That is what he wanted and I was all for it, I love paddle boarding and picnic. The whole family was there, well the immediate family.
I am still not 100 % recovered so tried to stay in the shade as much as possible. But I could not stay away from the paddle boards! I want to get one for us, they are such relaxing and fun activity. Perfect for a country such as Australia were you have so many months where the weather allows you to be outside. It an investment the way I see it haha.After a couple of hours we wrapped it up. Me and Ambrose were not ready to go home just yet so we got some take-away coffee’s and drove to The Entrance. There is apparently an ocean pool eight by the beach there that we wanted to check out. Unfortunately it was not all that impressive. Iceberg down at Bondi Beach still wins in our opinion.
Now after a shower, grilled sandwiches in front of David Attenborough. Well for me at least, just looked up and saw that Ambrose has fallen asleep <3
Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
