How it felt and how it happened

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆Leave a comment

Well.. ADHD and spontaneous feeling combined it ✨️ magical ✨️  but very painful.

Yesterday my bestfriend E booked an appointment at a piercing artist. She was the one supposed to do piercing but it ended up that I got one too. Spontaneously.

E got four piercings and I got this painful beauty. But we had fun all three of us! First i almost knocked the piercing table over. We laughed so much! Tears were falling by all laughing. After we calmed down a bit, we took my piercing. I was first to do it – thank god or else I would have backed out.

My experience;  It happened faster than in my head seemed.  For me it felt like 30 minutes but it took 5 minutes to do it. The pain was awful and I was crying. Tears were falling so hard and I screamed ofcourse. The artist said that I had high voice pitch but I said that it was tiny and I can higher. Afterwards the laughter kicked in. normal reaction for me.

pain; 10/10 (for me. For others, other points)

Afterwards, it was E’s turn. Nose, two in ears and belly. It was very interesting and I was joking while she was getting them. laughter, jokes and everything during that time. One hour.

This morning ; cleaning the piercing was a nightmare. So much dried blood after even when cleaned last night. But now it’s 100% clean.

Healing procession;  3 – 6 months.

So we’ll see if it helps with the migraine. It’s not clinical proved that it works but for some it works for but I got a migraine after it and still have it. But hey, im unique so maybe that’s why. Lol!

A real beauty

October 30th.. already. I still can’t get my mind follow the life time because I can’t believe it’s already November! now that is insane! and only two months ish left of 2024..

It’s very cold outside here in north part of Sweden. The ice is here and minus degree celsius as well. Insane! I’m not ready, not mentally or physically 😪 but here we go.

So i have been quiet in the blog for a few days. I have been super busy with school, meetings, son and his new lifestyle etc. It’s an all mess right now but im still here. I see your comments and love but unfortunately I can not answer them via mobile (it always crash for me when I do) so I’m gonna answer everyone of your comments and love TONIGHT! Looking forward to get connected with you all again 💕 Sorry for all this.

Whats new? Well my son has gotten a new lifestyle we all adjust to (it’s normal with autistic children/people to get medicines, new routines, structures etc) which is taking some time but hopefully it will get better soon. We have noticed a few changes on E since we started. He is more calm, not so much anxious, being extremely hyper etc and he can focus better in school etc which is amazing!

E has also learned to count to 40, sing a long songs with almost perfect pronouncing of words plus sign languages.  He has found his love for big Lego again (toys). It is so much better and so much new things E is showing us and we finding out from everyone 💕 so proud!

How have you been?? Something new and exciting or just something positive that has happened in your life since last? 💕 Comment below. Let’s connect 💕💕

Gävle, one beautiful town

a small little piece of a Swedish town called “Gävle”. The beauty of this town is remarkable! Wow.

few photos I’ve taken there

Most unique and spectacular architecture i have ever seen.

it was a magical building.  My husband and I went to the city the other day. After our meeting we had some time to kill so we went to a library / museum. It was one of the most spectacular architecture i have ever seen.

Library on one side and museum on the other side. Unfortunately I didn’t walk around in the museum because I think it would be boring to look around by myself. M didn’t want to go check. Maybe an other time.

The city is called Sundsvall which is located 2h from where we live. It’s an unique town to be honest. I took more photos and I will share them later 🥰

Golden hour with a view over the old senoir/retirement home. Such a shame to let the building go to waste.

It’s brutal but hey, I’m strong

*yawn* Goodmorning pumpkins! I hope you all had a good night sleep and feeling rested and alert ! I hope you all are doing good today!

I have been up since 3.45am *yawn* due to my son decided to wake up and ohmygod iam so tired. I’m currently in bed now after he went to school. But unfortunately I can just rest /sleep for an hour before I have to get up and get ready to go to the city. What we will do there? Well unfortunately  I can not say (right now and i must ask permission first) but it is very important.

Maybe we have some time afterwards to take a short walk in the city before we have to head back home so we can pick E up from school.

It will be about 2h car ride in total and I love car rides but damn. In this condition,  absolutely not.

explanation about my shoulder; I worked as a care giver before (I think it calls that) and after my shift when I went back home, I slipped on ice under snow so I hurt my shoulder and I got some nerve damages and beginning of something called “frozen shoulder”. Which means I need a surgery to separate the nerves and fix the damage. But I’m scared of doing the surgery.

Have anyone of you done a surgery on/in a shoulder? If you have, please tell me how it started, how it felt after surgery, rehabilitation and if you have no problems or less of problems after.

I would really appreciate if you could tell me.

Photopgrahy, but… is this it? Only this?

Expanding my equipment for future photography. The other day I bought a camera (not expensive. Pretty good deal for an almost brand new.

I’ve also clicked home some filters  a new objective to try, memory cards etc. I only had two 4GB cards so I ordered a 256GB (I think it was) and one 64GB (I think.. lol!)

Meeting, shopping and home to relax. Today has been a very painful day for me. Girls, if you know you know..

After my meeting I went window shopping but ended up at H&M and bought a super soft cardigan. Before I always wore cardigans but I stopped. Don’t know why so now after few years I’m hopefully back to it.

A cardigan for me is timeless, simple yet a clothing item that completes a look. Love it! 💕

I can not wait til the new objective / lens has arrived! It said earlier today that it would arrive tomorrow but now they changed to Friday! Ugh@ the frustration!

I also wait for packages from Shein. But it’s nothing for me unfortunately but for my son. It is his birthday next Saturday (Nov 2nd) and he is obsessed with busses and vehicles.  So I hopped on Shein (I’ve been very lucky and is very pleased with my purchases from there) to check for toys in alright prices. Of course I am not hoping that they are at the best quality but a decent type of quality.  As long as no tiny parts can come off etc I will be glad.

mixed blog post But hey, it’s me we are talking about. I have a gazzillionnnnn thoughts going on in my head so I apologize for an not “red thread” kind of post. .

Going to the city tomorrow ● Also laundry ●

Goodnight!

best advice..

Published on by ☆ Emma Santorini ☆2 Comments

What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

well.. best advice I have ever gotten was from my mother who told me and my siblings growing up “always stand alone with your name on contracts for apartments etc”. with that she meant to never co-sign it with your partner unless it’s about a house, loan and mortgage (if been together for years)

My mom was always scared for us girls (we are 4 sisters and 1 brother) with everything from school to the partners in life we would have. She said this advice to us so we would never become homeless if we ever moved together with our partner.

Our mom also said the same advice but also added sometimes things.. like “if you have kid/s with the partner, you and the kids are protected and have roof over your head”. Which is true.

how about you? Best advice?

this advice may sound weird but I think she got a point. If you break up with your partner you are protected to have a home.
