What’s the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?
A bad habit I have to get rid of, but I check my phone! Since I have a lot of work outside of Sweden, I get a lot of emails and texts during the night that I check in the morning.
How do you like to spend your free time?
I like to go for walks, grab matcha, and go shopping (hot girl things), haha.
What’s a skill you wish you had?
I used to be good at playing the piano, but not anymore, so I wish I could play the piano perfectly.
If you could have dinner with anyone, dead or alive, who would it be?
Omg, not even a question—Patrick Dempsey, haha (I have a forever crush on Derek in Grey's Anatomy).
What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?
"Butterflies rest during rains because it destroys their wings, so it’s okay to rest during the storms of life. You’ll fly again when it’s over."
What’s your favorite book?
Don’t Believe Everything You Think.
Describe your perfect day.
I wake up at 7 a.m., eat breakfast, do my skincare, go for a long walk to my Pilates class, grab coffee with a friend in the sun, and relax in nature.
What’s a hidden talent you have?
I’m really good at tennis; I’ve played since I was little.
What are your favorite beauty products at the moment?
Korean skincare! There’s a cleanser from Haruharu Wonder, their Black Rice Moisture Deep Cleansing Oil. It has changed my skin.
If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
I’ve never been, but I think I’d love Hawaii! Somewhere in nature.
What’s one thing you can’t live without?
My matcha lattes.
What’s your favorite season, and why?
Summer, duh! I don’t have to say anything else; I chase summer and the sun!
What’s a hobby you’ve always wanted to pick up but haven’t yet?
Horseback riding. I used to do this for years when I was young, but it’s time-consuming. I love being with animals and in nature.
What’s your go-to comfort food?
Hamburgers! But a healthy, gluten-free, dairy-free version, haha.
What’s your favorite quote?
"Everything that will be will be." Simple but true.
What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long day?
Skincare, cooking food, Pilates.
How do you practice self-care?
I focus on my skincare routine, Pilates, and eating well.
What’s a goal you’re working towards right now?
I have a lot of goals, but one of them is to buy properties.
What was your favorite part of your stay at Nikki Beach Resort & Spa Santorini?
Omg, easy—the morning breakfast! I had the same thing every morning: an omelet with onions, ham, and peppers. INSANE.
What did you love most about the getaway?
The girl power we had as a group and, duh, the sun!
