Blogger Challenge Day 6- current tv show you're addicted to!

Blogger Challenge Day 5- favorite pet!

I'd have to say the horse I had for nearly ten years, Six Chick Goldwood, is probably the animal I've loved the most. 

I remember begging my father for a horse for what seemed like forever! Finally, during the first few weeks of my freshman year of high-school, he gave in. At the time he informed me that getting the horse meant that I wouldn't get a car and that that was for me to decide... In my eyes, there wasn't even a choice to be made, and with that, I bought Six home and fell in love!

Blogger Challenge Day 2- blog name meaning!

Well... let's see... I'm American and I'm living in Sweden- 'nuff said! Just kidding- seriously though, it's true, but I think ya'll deserve a more concrete explanation than that! So here it is...

I moved to Sweden from the US over two years ago for personal reasons... Alright, personal reasons = a boy. CliffsNotes version- At first I thought I loved the boy and hated Sweden. What I ended up realizing is that I love Sweden and not the boy! Go figure!?

I decided to start this blog as a creative outlet to all the things that make me who I am. From fashion and beauty to real life stuff, I wanted a place to express myself. More importantly, I wanted a place to help me find myself, and although 'Adventures of an American girl in Sweden' may suggest to some never ending excitement or weekly travels, for me it basically translates to every day life. That's because I consider every day, every thought, and every challenge an adventure. 

So there you go! The meaning behind my blog's name : )
