Dear readers, welcome ❤️
My name is Emma and I am a Swedish ambassador for Gudrun Sjödén. I will have the honor of being a guest blogger here for six posts, all about beauty in various ways from my perspective. I hope you'll join me on my beauty journey. But before we start, I thought I'd tell you a bit about myself 😊
Facts about me
I am 43 years old and come from Kiruna in northern Sweden. At the age of 7, I moved to Luleå. When I was around 16, I moved to Stockholm, where I still live. But much has stayed with me from Kiruna and Luleå. I carry a bit of the Sami culture with me, such as pointed shoes and pewter wire bracelets. I also have my strong love for snow, nature, and natural materials from both cities ❤️

Me as a Person
I am an advocate of love, always trying to think in every situation, "What would love do now?" By nature, I am a cheerful, positive, and energetic person. I am very curious and enjoy trying new things, regardless of what they are. I like to evolve, confront my fears, and improve myself. I am an analytical person with high self-awareness. I am the last to judge others and the first to try to understand.
A strong aspect of my personality is my communicative nature. I'd rather ask one time too many and appreciate communication at all levels. For me, it's the most important aspect in all relationships. Along with honesty, openness, humility, and empathy, these are significant qualities that I constantly strive for and hold great admiration and respect for in others 🙏
Being vulnerable comes easily to me, and I deeply value it in others. In my world, it's a fantastic quality that enriches life. To me, it's one of the best traits a person can have because, under the right circumstances, it opens the heart and heals in the most beautiful ways. When two people show vulnerability to each other, there's magic in the air ❤️
What do I like to do?
I like second hand shopping. I'm fascinated by and enjoy trying new technology. Interior design and cooking are significant interests, as well as creating with my hands and playing with color, form, and materials. My speakers play all sorts of music, but I love country music. I like animals, and I ADORE dogs ❤️ It's a dream to have my own dog one day, but until then, I dog-sit and get to meet all kinds of dog breeds 😊
Growing is Lovely
Gardening is delightful, and I enjoy the feeling of soil on my hands. It makes me calm, happy, and harmonious 🙏 The experience of planting a tiny seed that can grow into something beautiful or edible is delightful. I dream of one day having a small house and cultivating lots of vegetables.
I am fascinated by humanity and enjoy psychology. Why are we the way we are? Why do we behave as we do? Why do we feel as we do in different situations? What lies behind our defense mechanisms and protective mechanisms? What underlies our fears? I find these questions incredibly interesting to read about and discuss 😊
Traveling is a significant interest. I like experiencing new cultures, environments, food, and music, as well as meeting other people and mentalities 😊 For me, the external journey also becomes an inner journey. I broaden my perspective and evolve. I have been to places like the Azores, France, India, China, Africa, and the USA. My dream trip is to Nashville, Tennessee, to float on clouds amid all the country performances and cowboy hats 😃
That was a bit about me. I hope you want to join me on my blog journey 😊 Here are the headlines:
