Hoppas ni har en fin mandagskvall!

Det nygamla sättet att ta bort oönskade hår med tråd har tusenåriga traditioner från Mesopotamien. Eftersom metoden är väldigt skonsam mot huden används den med fördel i ansiktet och vid ögonbrynsplockning. För personer med känslig hud, t ex psoriasis, passar den bra att använda även på kroppen.

När man avlägsnar hår i ansiktet med pincett ökar blodtillförseln till hårroten och stimulerar återväxten, som ofta kan bli grövre och mörkare. Samma effekt uppnås även vid vaxning av ansiktet.  Med tråd avlägsnas hela hårstrået från roten utan att skada roten eller stimulera återväxten. När man avlägsnar håret med tråd regelbundet blir den positiva effekten att stråna partiellt slutar att växa och att återväxten blir långsammare.

In whatever field they choose, Teachers consider people their highest priority, and they instinctively communicate personal concern and a willingness to become involved. Warmly outgoing, and perhaps the most expressive of all the types, Teachers are remarkably good with language, especially when communicating in speech, face to face. And they do not hesitate to speak out and let their feelings be known. Bubbling with enthusiasm, Teachers will voice their passions with dramatic flourish, and can, with practice, become charismatic public speakers. This verbal ability gives Teachers a good deal of influence in groups, and they are often asked to take a leadership role.

Teachers like things settled and organized, and will schedule their work hours and social engagements well ahead of time -- and they are absolutely trustworthy in honoring these commitments. Valuing as they do interpersonal cooperation and harmonious relations, Teachers are extraordinarily tolerant of others, are easy to get along with, and are usually popular wherever they are.

Teachers are highly sensitive to others, which is to say their intuition tends to be well developed. Certainly their insight into themselves and others is unparalleled. Without a doubt, they know what is going on inside themselves, and they can read other people with uncanny accuracy. Teachers also identify with others quite easily, and will actually find themselves picking up the characteristics, emotions, and beliefs of those around them. Because they slip almost unconsciously into other people's skin in this way, Teachers feel closely connected with those around them, and thus show a sincere interest in the joys and problems of their employees, colleagues, students, clients, and loved ones.

Of all the Idealists, the Teacher (ENFJ) is the most likely to seek leadership positions in the private or public sector. The Teacher is drawn to careers in education or social services, such as college professor, high school teacher, social worker, or non-profit director. In business they are often trainers, sales managers, recruiters, or executives. Since they are good at building relationships, they may be fund raisers or recruiters. They also are found in jobs such as a health advisor, clergy, facilitator, or counselor. Says Rene, "It's very important to me to really connect with my students. I need to feel that I am making a difference in their lives

ENFJs are the benevolent 'pedagogues' of humanity. They have tremendous charisma by which many are drawn into their nurturant tutelage and/or grand schemes. Many ENFJs have tremendous power to manipulate others with their phenomenal interpersonal skills and unique salesmanship. But it's usually not meant as manipulation -- ENFJs generally believe in their dreams, and see themselves as helpers and enablers, which they usually are.

ENFJs are global learners. They see the big picture. The ENFJs focus is expansive. Some can juggle an amazing number of responsibilities or projects simultaneously. Many ENFJs have tremendous entrepreneurial ability.

ENFJs are, by definition, Js, with whom we associate organization and decisiveness. But they don't resemble the SJs or even the NTJs in organization of the environment nor occasional recalcitrance. ENFJs are organized in the arena of interpersonal affairs. Their offices may or may not be cluttered, but their conclusions (reached through feelings) about people and motives are drawn much more quickly and are more resilient than those of their NFP counterparts.

ENFJs know and appreciate people. Like most NFs, (and Feelers in general), they are apt to neglect themselves and their own needs for the needs of others. They have thinner psychological boundaries than most, and are at risk for being hurt or even abused by less sensitive people. ENFJs often take on more of the burdens of others than they can bear.

Famous ENFJs:

Lunch med Anna!

Ska overraska H ikvall med tva front-row biljetter till Seals konsert den 18 februari!

Hittade dem pa eBay och slog till direkt. De var billigare an pa ticketek plus att platserna ar pa forsta raden!

H alskar Seal och har spelat hans Greatest Hits album om och om igen i bilen.

Jag kan helt arligt saga att hade han inte gjort det sa hade jag nog bara kant igen typ en sang (Kiss from a Rose).

Men jag kan tanka mig att han ar jattebra live. Nagon av er som har sett honom?

Langtar!

Anders grattade mig precis pa namnsdagen, hade helt glomt bort att det var idag!

Har ju ingen svensk almanacka sa det ar ju inte sa konstigt.

I Australien existerar inte namnsdagar, men i Grekland ar uppmarksammas det och man ringer man varann o grattar (Boel ar dock forstas inte i grekiska almanackan).

Iallafall. Jag tycker om mitt namn aven om det inte alltid 'funkar' pa den har sidan klotet. Och for den delen sa tycker ofta svenskar att det ar ett konstigt namn med.


Det var min farmor som ville att ett barnbarn skulle heta Boel.

Med forsta systern (Linda) sa mamma och pappa nej. Likadant med den andra (Wanja). Sedan kom jag, de gav upp och sa okej. Boel Sonja Emelie blev det.

Har hort manga varianter (hade jag fatt en guldtia varje gang en larare kallade mig Bodil hade jag haft en rik uppvaxt) och i Australien far jag ofta presentera mig tva till tre ganger och garna stava namnet innan det blir ratt.

Men det gor inget.

Annorlunda ar bra, eller hur?

Hittade det har pa Wiki:

Kvinnonamnet Boel är, liksom namnsdagsgrannen Bodil, en dansk form av det nordiska namnet Bothild som är sammansatt av ordledet bot som betyder 'bättring' och hild som betyder 'strid, kamp'.

Namnet har använts i Skåne, med stavningen Boeld, sedan 1400-talet, och fick allmän spridning i Sverige i mitten på 1800-talet.

Namnet har inte haft någon riktig popularitetsperiod, och har oftast legat utanför 300-i-topp-listan.

Den 31 december 2005 fanns det totalt 2 511 personer folkbokförda i Sverige med namnet, varav 1 452 med det som tilltalsnamn/förstanamn.

Ar 2003 fick 6 flickor namnet, varav 4 fick det som tilltalsnamn/förstanamn.

Pa vag hem, slutade jobbet vid ett och sedan bar det hem till Mira for lite vin pa hennes balkong.

Middag pa The Passage med vanner ikvall!

Imorgon ar det Australiens nationaldag sa de flesta ar lediga. Inte jag forstas;) Jag valde att jobba och spara min lediga dag till Sverige semestern.

Kvallen till ara serveras det vegemite Margaritas. Eeewww...

Date with Kate: Cheyenne Tozzi

Kate Waterhouse

January 22, 2012

Juice break ... Cheyenne Tozzi and Kate Waterhouse catch up at Ham cafe and deli. Photo: Sahlan Hayes

WE WENT TO Ham cafe and deli, Cronulla.

WE DRANK Freshly squeezed orange and apple juice.

CHEYENNE WORE Ksubi shorts, Bassike singlet, Chanel bag and Havaianas

New York-based model and aspiring singer Cheyenne Tozzi is one of Australia's leading exports. She has graced the cover of Vogue Mexico and is an ambassador for Mambo Goddess but it's her personal life that really captures the media's attention. She has been rumoured to have dated Entourage star Jeremy Piven, rapper Kanye West and actor Mickey Rourke. Kate Waterhouse caught up with the 23-year-old, who grew up in Sydney, to chat about her fledgling music career and those persistent relationship rumours. 

What are you up to at the moment?

My life is nuts at the moment. I'm still working on my album; I just did a song with Luke Pritchard, [the frontman of] the Kooks. I write all my own music and I've just been trying to ''find'' my sound.

 

Did you always want to be a singer?

We grew up with world music in our house. I always played instruments but I'm not a trained singer. I sound more husky but that's the vibe I wanted to go with. When people hear the music, I hope [they] are going to see a whole different side to me. I just want people to look at me differently and not just as a model.

 

What is your biggest achievement so far?

I had my first Vogue cover last year. All my jobs have been amazing - I think everyone is a blessing - but my Vogue cover was definitely a ''Yes!''

 

Will you ever move back to Australia?

Yes, 100 per cent, when I have my babies!

 

Are you dating anyone now?

No, I'm single.

 

What do you look for in a man?

I have beautiful friends around me and that's all I need. I'm just over the men side of it and I'm quite happy to just float because I'm just focused on work this year.

 

Are rumours you dated Kanye West and Mickey Rourke true?

Yes, me and Kanye have 15 babies but we just don't want to tell anyone. No, it's just so stupid … it's embarrassing to me because these people are my friends and they are thinking that I'm saying all this stuff, so I look like an absolute moron.

 

Are you still best buddies with Paris Hilton?

I live in New York and I've got my whole squad over there and she is in Los Angeles but I see her about once a year. People have the wrong opinion of her but she is a good kid.

 

Where do you hope to be in five years' time?

Winning Grammys!

 

Biggest indulgence?

Frozen Cokes from McDonald's … I'm a cheap date!

Ett nytt utestalle i Bondi Beach val vart ett besok ar The Bucket List.

Det ligger precis vid stranden och har uteservering med hammocks och skona soffor.

Folket ar typisk Bondi-blandning; allt fran (opererade)-nasor-i-vadret Eastern Suburbs folk till backpackers. Kladsel detsamma, fran klanningar o klackar till direkt-fran-stranden linne over bikinin och jeansshorts.

Plus hundar.

Yep, en del hade med sig sin vovve och de vandrade runt utan koppel pa uteserveringen.

Kul ide men jag tyckte synd om dem senare pa kvallen nar folk var fulla och ett o annat glas hade krossats pa golvet:S

En singel killkompis hade med sig sin staffie valp som mest lag i hans kna vid bordet. Ni kan tanka er att det var en tjejmagnet;)

H har borjat salja bea pa cafet, en raritet pa den har sidan klotet.

Bestseller eller ej, gar de inte at tar jag med dem hem :)

Nuns Pool frulle o,

strandhang med H,

vin o lite mat med Anna i Darling Harbour,

vin med Ed, Mira o Martina pa The Bucket list i Bondi Beach..

Lordag kvall och jag sitter i biomorkret igen, den har gangen med H.

Vi har precis sett We Bought A Zoo.

Fin, men for cheesy enligt mig...

Sov lange idag, sedan in till Cronulla for att simma i en halvtimma innan jag motte upp med nagra svenska tjejer for en drink.

Genom Svenskar i Sydney Facebook gruppen kom jag i kontakt med nagra svenska tjejer fran Cronulla, och idag var forsta gangen vi sags.

Det var jattetrevligt, och kul att fa prata lite svenska:)

Vinet har anlant, filmen har borjat. :)

Hoppas ni far en fin fredag!

... but someone's gotta do it!

Redaktoren vill att jag ska gora en artikel om tvillingarna Stenmark fran Mosman  (vars pappa for ovrigt havdar att de ar slakt med skidakaren Ingemar Stenmark) som pa bara nagra manader har byggt upp varsin modellkarriar i Europa.

Okej da! ;)

Var ute och at sushi med H och pratade om Chloe och George som forlovade sig pa Hawaii idag!

Sa det ser ut som vi har ett fjarde brollop att ga pa i ar:) Rekordar tror jag, inte sa konstigt kanske, we're getting old;)

Chloe's Saskia vaska. Gjordes i 2008 och saldes da for ca. $1600 (runt 10,000kr) men eftersom det nu ar en gammal modell finns den pa eBay (aldrig anvand) for $300 (1800kr).

Jag bryr mig inte om att det ar en gammal modell, tycker den ar klassiskt snygg och skulle funka till bade jobb och fest.

Men aven om 1800kr ar `billigt' for en akta Chloe vaska sa ar det dyrt for min planbak.

Vad tycker ni? Buy or not buy?

1. Start building your coffee tolerance

According to the International Coffee Organization (ICO), Sweden ranks 2nd in the world after Finland in terms of coffee consumption per person. Coffee drinking is fostered through a tradition called fika — in which friends, family, and/or colleagues meet for coffee or tea.

A typical fika involves coffee, something sweet — and some serious bonding. Photo: David Murphy (CC BY NC SA)

Fika is often enjoyed with freshly baked pastries such as cinnamon buns (kanelbullar), collectively called fikabröd. What makes the concept of fika intriguing to foreigners is the sheer frequency at which it is observed each day. It's not uncommon to grab a cup of coffee after breakfast, after lunch, before dinner, and after dinner. This tradition is an opportunity for Swedes to set aside a few moments each day for quality bonding over coffee.

2. Pick a number, please

From the pharmacy (apoteket) and tax office (Skatteverket) to your doctor's office and local grocery store's deli-meat counter, you'll be forced to exercise patience as you wait to be served in a numbered queue. Many businesses have a ticketing system — usually a small hard-to-find machine hung on a wall that dispenses number notes. Once you grab your ticket, you'll have to wait until your number shows up on a large screen before you can proceed to the counter.

3. You can probably get by with English for decades, but...

Chances are you can live in Sweden for years without learning a lick of Swedish. That's because many Swedes are fluent in English and are always happy to switch so they can practice their English on you. This means it might take you longer to properly learn the language, and the Catch-22 is that fluency in Swedish is crucial to full integration.

Signing up for SFI (Swedish For Immigrants) — which is free and provided by the Swedish National Agency for Education — could be a step in the right direction.

4. Get your shopping done before 5 p.m. (if you can)

Rush hour in Stockholm. Photo: Jenny Gaulitz/www.imagebank.sweden.se

Many stores close early, especially at weekends and you'll be hard-pressed to find a store open past 9 p.m. that isn't a gas station. One explanation is the numerous trade unions that enforce workers' rights and place more emphasis on maintaining healthy work-live balances, thus improving overall quality of life. Swedes work to live, not live to work.

It's worth keeping in mind that since many Swedes are done with their regular jobs around 5 p.m., you'll likely be battling crowds to get your shopping done between 5 and 6.30 p.m.

5. At some point, you will squeeze food out of toothpaste tubes

To prepare you for your first visit to the cold foods section of a grocery store, understand that in Sweden, tubes are also used to package foods such as caviar, mayonnaise, mustard, and other similar condiments. And at some point, you'll probably squeeze some caviar from a tube onto half a boiled egg for breakfast.

6. Daddies pushing strollers

When it comes to equality between the sexes, Sweden is one of the leaders, and men here definitely pull their own weight in staying home and raising infant children.

Couples are entitled to 480 days of paid parental leave, and this time can be shared between parents. So you'll often find new fathers with parked strollers and babies strapped to their chests, having lunch and fika dates with other dads.

7. Camping and hiking and picking berries

If you think high-calorie fikabröd means most Swedes are borderline obese, I'll let you in on a little secret — Swedes love the outdoors. All year round, there's at least one activity that can be enjoyed come rain, shine, or winter blizzard. And the government has made it easy to enjoy Sweden's nature by giving people the right of public access in a law called Allemansrätten.

In a nutshell, Allemansrätten means you're free to camp on and hike across private land unless a sign has been specifically put up prohibiting trespassing. During summer, you'll find people out hiking, camping, wandering through forests picking wild berries and mushrooms, and when winter rolls around, skis are strapped on and cross-country skiing replaces leisurely hikes.

Make the most of the long sunny summer nights in Sweden.

Allemansrätten also comes with responsibilities. It is imperative you respect local rules, landowners, residents, flora, fauna, and all signs. Freedom to camp also doesn't mean camping in a specific spot for weeks.

For a list of allowances, check out: "The Right of Public Access – What is allowed?"

8. Melodifestivalen

Few events unite (or divide) the entire country as strongly as Melodifestivalen. This widely popular music event, held every February through March, is a welcome distraction on long dark winter nights. Melodifestivalen is an annual national music competition and its voted winner goes on to represent Sweden in the Eurovision Song Contest which pits European countries against each other musically. Melodifestivalen launched the career of a certain band named ABBA, which went on to win the 1974 Eurovision Song Contest with "Waterloo".

9. Many businesses shut down in July

It's not uncommon to find restaurants and stores shut down for an entire month, usually in July, while employees take their 4-6 week vacations. Did I already mention trade unions and their enforcement of workers' rights?

10. Try keeping it "lagom"

There is a societal code of conduct in Sweden which really has no direct translation in English. Loosely translated, the word "lagom" means "just enough," "in moderation," "appropriate," and other synonyms you can pull out of the dictionary. When used in reference to societal behavior, it means blending in appropriately without extreme displays of emotion.

11. Locate your nearest IKEA

There are very few stores in Sweden where you can buy affordable furniture and food at the same time, so it's definitely worthwhile locating your nearest IKEA. Many IKEA stores offer free bus services from central locations to the store and back. For those relocating to Stockholm, IKEA Kungens Kurva runs a free bus from downtown (Vasagatan 18) every hour.

12. Nice shoes. Please take them off

You'll quickly notice that shoes are taken off when entering private residences in Sweden. There are many theories surrounding this old tradition. Many revolve around the fact that Swedes spend a lot of time outdoors during winter and are prone to dragging in dirt, so taking shoes off at the door is done for hygienic purposes. Other theories say it's a sign of respect for the Swedish home. Either way, you might want to think twice before wearing full lace-up boots when visiting folks.

13. Winters are really cold, dark, and can be depressing

It's no secret that Sweden's geographical location makes it prone to cold, dark winters. At the depth of winter in some northern parts of the country above the Arctic Circle, you might get as little as three hours of sunlight per day. And in Sweden's northernmost city, Kiruna, you get no (as in zero) hours of daylight.

While winters can be rough, you'll be rewarded during summer with long hours of daylight and moderately warm temperatures which make Sweden one of the most beautiful places to be in during May to August.

14. Be on time

It is common knowledge here that "time" should be respected at all times — regardless of whether you're going for an interview or meeting up with friends for fika (unless in the case of emergencies). Meetings will start on time with or without you. The train will leave on time with or without you. While many cultures may have more relaxed attitudes towards appointments, here in Sweden, time truly waits for no man because Swedes value punctuality.

15. Get your tasty adult beverages at state-run Systembolaget

While you can purchase alcoholic drinks in restaurants, bars, and pubs, if you'd like to take a sip from the bottle in the privacy of your own home, you've got only one legal option of buying stronger alcohol, and that's from one of the roughly 400 state-run liquor stores called Systembolaget. Considering Sweden has a population of just 9 million, and Systembolaget reported 116 million customer visits in 2010 alone, it seems to be a popular location.

16. Keep that plastic bag

Before you toss out that plastic bag, you may want to reconsider. Most grocery stores will charge you a few kronor for plastic or paper bags in an effort to keep waste low and encourage recycling. Sweden is one of the most eco-friendly countries on Earth, and its capital Stockholm was awarded the European Green Capital distinction in 2010 which recognizes exemplary recycling and sustainability efforts.

17. Special days celebrating food

While Sweden proudly celebrates religious holidays (Christmas, Easter) as well as historically pagan festivals (Midsummer, Walpurgis Night), there are three more important dates worth noting. These are days when Swedes collectively celebrate the following foods:  cinnamon buns (October 4), pancakes and semlor (Fettisdagen, or Shrove Tuesday, on last day before Lent), and waffles (Våffeldagen, March 25).  This means you're allowed to gorge on said food all day long without feeling guilty.

18. It is safe to drink the water

Drinking straight from the tap is the norm and highly encouraged in Sweden. The water is clean, fresh, and ice cold so you can save tons of money (and the environment) by not buying bottled water.

No worries, the Swedish tap water is just fine. This is just another Swede enjoying the outdoors. Photo: Fredrik Broman/VisitSweden (CC BY NC ND)

19. Business casual means jeans

General everyday fashion in Sweden is simple, relaxed, and casual. This same concept has seamlessly seeped its way into more formal business settings. Unless your colleague is meeting foreign clients or attending a high stakes board meeting, chances are they are wearing jeans and a long-sleeved shirt.

20. Not all education and healthcare is free

Contrary to popular belief, not all healthcare and education is free, a common misconception many foreigners hold about Sweden's subsidized social system.

As of autumn 2011, Swedish universities will charge students who are not citizens of the EU, EEA or Switzerland. The universities set their own fees, which will mostly vary between SEK 80,000-140,000 per academic year, depending on the subject. Fees for medicine and art programs will be even higher.

While healthcare is heavily subsidized by the Swedish government and taxpayers, don't be surprised if you're required to pay a few hundred crowns for a visit to the doctor. For routine doctor's office visits, the maximum amount you may have to pay out of pocket for an entire year is SEK 900 (SEK 1,800 for prescription drugs).

Considering that works out to roughly USD 145 per year (USD 290 for drugs), that's a lot less than what many new residents have to pay in their home countries.

Har kan ni se min 2010 lista

Hur ser er lista för 2011 ut?

Ett öronljus skapar ett svagt vakuum som drar vax och annat skräp ur örat och in i ihåliga ljuset. 

Jag tyckte det var helt ok, vet inte om jag kommer gora det igenom dock. Laste idag att oronljus ar forbjudna i bade USA och Kanada for att de anses farligt.

Har ni testat det nagon gang? Vad tyckte ni?

The Daily Telegraph poangsatte Sydneys strander och stranderna i Cronulla i The South dar jag bor framrostades som bast i stan!



Tyckte det var en bra lista over strander for er som ar nya Sydney-bor:

The South

The Beaches: Elouera, Wanda, North Cronulla, Cronulla, Jibbon

Lifeguards: Yes, at all the beaches.

Parking: There's not a parking metre in the whole of the Sutherland Shire. Giddy up. Parking is metred though and the further you get away from the mall, the easier finding a space tends to be. It's also the only beach in Sydney with a train station with walking distance of the sand, so you don't even need to worry about finding a space for the jalopy.

Best food: Start your day with a swish waterfront breakfast at either Zimzala or The Nuns' Pool. As the day warms up cool off with an ice cream from Frangipani. If you're looking for Fish and Chips, Notaras Fish Markets are about as fresh as they come, while Nulla Nulla cafe is a long-time locals favourite. Inland Paul's Hamburgers at Sylvania have big wraps on them.

Best bar: Sunday afternoons at Northies are still an institution for those seeking to make getting out of bed on Monday morning even tougher. The beers and margaritas flow freely at Mexican restaurant El Sol while Zinc Bar and cafe is known for its cocktails.

Surfing: Take your pick really, depending on the swell direction and winds North Cronulla, Wanda and Elouera can all have the best conditions. A project to create a man made sand bar out to sea in March should also improve the breaks along the beach through Autumn and winter.

Swimming: South Cronulla is the safest and also has an ocean pool for added protection, but there are plenty of red and yellow flagged areas along the beach to help you avoid the rips. Take the ferry ride across to Jibbon Beach for a protected swim and something a bit different.

Amenities: The southern end of the beach has the most facilities including showers, toilets, and playground equipment, but by the time get around to Wanda things are a bit more sparse as the sand dunes appear. Even so there's still showers, toilets and drinking water.

Celebrities: Perhaps best known for producing modelling exports Lara Bingle and the Tozzi sisters, Cheyenne and Tahyna, these days you're probably more likely to spot a sports star than model.

Sharks new recruit and NRL bad boy Todd Carney is the latest to head to the Shire, while Australian cricket captain Michael Clarke has moved from the eastern suburbs to the Shire, closer to new girlfriend Kyly Boldy. He joins a host of big name cricketers in the area including Ricky Ponting and former fast bowler Glenn McGrath.

The bad: Unfair or not, the insular peninsular has still got a stigma as the home for in-your-face nationalism since the 2005 riots.

Score: Plenty of parking spots, waves, food, and beers give the Shire an title-winning 8.

Cronulla Beach



The Northern Beaches

The beaches: Dee Why, Freshwater, Palm Beach, Curl Curl, Whale Beach, Manly, Collaroy, Avalon, Newport, Narrabeen, Bilgola, Mona Vale

Lifeguards: Lifeguards patrol all the main beaches from Collaroy to Manly between 9am to 6pm, but the hours vary between beaches. Patrol times are online at www.surflifesaving.net.au.

Parking: There's lots of on-street parking but it's mostly metered, and you'll have to fight off backpackers in sleeper caravans taking some of the best spots. Secure car parks are pricey.

Best food: The coffee at North Curl Curl's Curly's on the Corner is hard to beat, but you're a fool if you bypass the baguettes at Burgers on Parade at Avalon. On the pricier end, Barrenjoey Boathouse at Palm Beach and Pilu at Freshwater are tasty options.

Best pubs: The Steyne Hotel at Manly is the obvious choice. But the Newport Arms, and The Brookvale Hotel with $11.90 steaks everyday, are local hot spots. If you're looking to have a quiet one avoid The Habord Beach Hotel at Freshwater - locals say everyone knows everyone here and you'll probably bump into someone you know.

Surfing: Widely considered Sydney's blue-ribbon surfing belt. Manly has punchy barrels, Queenscliff is the place for big wave riders, and Freshwater Beach is popular among bodysurfers and nippers on body boards.

Swimming: Good swimming beaches, but some like Manly and Queenscliff are better for surfing. With golden sand and pristine water, most have ocean pools for the kiddies. Dare-devils should head to Narrabeen for any water activity under the sun like including windsurfing, sailing, kayaking, canoeing, rowing and fishing.

Amenities: You'll find showers and toilet blocks at each of the beaches, with various levels of cleanliness.

Celebrities: Out of towners call it the St Tropez of Sydney. Palm Beach - or Summer Bay to Home and Away fans - is brimming with sun-seeking celebrities like singer Leo Sayer, bondage queen Madame Lash, Bec and Lleyton Hewitt, model Elle McPherson, Hollywood director George Miller and journalist Jana Wendt. John Cleese, David Bowie and the Duke of Edinburgh have been spotted at Whale Beach. And the regular eye candy at Manly - where Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban got married in 2006 - includes surfer Layne Beachley, former swimmer Kieran Perkins, players from the Manly Sea Eagles rugby league team and surfer Guy Leech.

Dogs: Dogs aren't allowed but there are some off-leash reserves most beaches.

Alcohol: Best to head to the pub for a cold one, these are alcohol free zones.

Bad: Bring your tweezers - ticks are rampant. If you're not a local, be prepared to be stared at. Hard to get to if you don't drive - can be more than one hour on the bus from the city.

Score: 7. So many options, from the overdeveloped corso at Manly to the open stretches of Palm Beach means you're pretty much covered in the North. You just have to survive the drive first.

 
Manly Beach

The Harbour

The beaches: Washaway Beach, Redleaf, Balmoral Beach, Nielsen Park, Obelisk Beach, Little Manly Beach, Camp Cove

Lifeguards: No, it's up to you to play safe.

Parking: Most of the harbour beaches have free parking along nearby residential streets, if not much of it. There are some exceptions most notably Balmoral Beach, which has much-hated metered parking, and Little Manly Beach.

Best food: If The Nielsen Park Cafe isn't booked for a wedding or function it's worth a visit, if you're in the mood for a sit down meal. The tiny Bacino bar at Clifton Gardens also does a decent coffee. At some of the more remote beaches you'll need to pack your own supplies. Just remember there's an unoffical tax in Sydney with a Harbour view, so expect to part with some cash wherever you go.

Best bars: Things are rather civilised along the Harbour's edge and getting your hands on a cold beverage can be a challenge unless you go to a licensed restaurant. The eastern suburbs institution The Sheaf is within walking distance of Redleaf. The Watson's Bay Hotel faces west giving you views of the sun setting over the city.

Surfing: Only on the heaviest days can you surf in the Harbour. Watson's Bay, Nielsen Park have been known to be ridable when most ocean beaches are too big for all but the complete nutbars. A bombie off Middle Head can also fire on big swell days.

Swimming: Everywhere. There are nets to keep out the bull sharks at most beaches so all you've got worry about is not getting too burnt.

Amenities: The most popular beaches, such as Balmoral and Redleaf, have all the mod cons you'd expect for a beach in one of the middle of Australia's biggest city. Hidden beaches like Washaway have nothing, so you'll have to hang on or enjoy the secret satisfaction of peeing in the water.

Celebrities: Either the inner-city beaches are a celeb-free area or the paparazzi are too busy focusing their lenses on Bondi and Palm Beach. I'm guessing the latter. Eric Banner must feel unlucky - he's just about the only A-lister to be spotted on a Harbour beach in the last 18 month.

The bad: Seriously, it's not a beach unless there's a wave. Unless you are under the age of three or have children under the age of three you should be at a real beach.

Score: 5. Only because they're uncrowded. And there's a bonus point in there because you can get nude at Obelisk and not get arrested.

The East

The beaches: Bondi, Tamarama, Bronte, Clovelly, Coogee, Maroubra

Lifeguards: Yes, at all beaches.

Parking: Metered, timed and very scarce in Bondi and Bronte. Expect to pay $4.40 an hour in the streets closest to the beach, and $7 an hour for the beach front car park. The car park at Clovelly is free, but you be asked to donate to the local Surf Life Saving Club when you drive in and it's often full. By far the easiest place to park is Maroubra with plenty of two hour car spaces close to the beach.

Best food: Out Of the Blue in Clovelly has the best burgers in Sydney. The best. But you'll have to queue to get one. It's hard to go past A Fish Called Coogee for fish and chips, while Pompeii's in Bondi serves some of the better gelato in Sydney, but prices are steep.

Best pubs: Icebergs and North Bondi RSL have unbeatable views at either end of Bondi Beach. You can also try Bondi Hardware and Bondi FM for something a bit more intimate and upmarket.

Clovelly Hotel has been the long time family favourite on weekends, but if you plan on eating make sure you book ahead as much of the iconic pub is undergoing renovations at the moment.

Surfing: Being the biggest stretch of sand Maroubra has the most surfing options, but Bronte offers the best protection when a southerly blows. When the flags are up at Tamarama it's foam boards only in the water.

Swimming: When the flags are up you can take your pick, really. Just avoid the infamous "backpacker express" rip at south Bondi. Tamarama is also not for the inexperienced beach goer, with rips forming at either end of the beach. While Clovelly is among the safest beaches in the State, according to Surf Life Saving NSW. Only Tamarama and Maroubra lack ocean pools.

Amenities: There are ageing toilet blocks at each of the beaches and the huge crowds in the east means they're not always the cleanest. Bronte reserve is a favourite for family barbecues, while Maroubra has plenty of play equipment for the kids.

Celebrities: Only the grassy knoll at North Bondi rivals the Finger Wharf at Woolloomooloo for most celebrities per square metre.

Everyone from Leonardo DiCaprio to Nigella Lawson have been spotted on the sands of Bondi Beach recently. Hell, even the Lifeguards in Bondi are celebrities.

Dogs: Don't even think about bringing your dog on the beach. This is the eastern suburbs, darling.

Alcohol: Ditto dogs. Many of the reserves are alcohol free too, but as long as you're not acting like a moron the authorities will turn a blind eye.

The bad: Bondi is a zoo. The Traffic is a nightmare, parking non-existent, and Campbell parade is hideously ugly and littered with overpriced souvenirs shops and cafes. The southern end of the beach is a wasteland of hungover, pasty skinned backpackers while the north end is a haven for way-cooler-than-thou models, graphic designers and other E-grade miscellaneous celebrities.

Score: Bondi gets a 2, but the rest drag the East up to a 4.

 


Vilken ar din favoritstrand i Sydney?

Kanelbulle och gott the

Ska pa middag pa Blackwater.

Har nya silkeskjorts fran Jac&Jack och nytt linne fran Cue. Bada fyndade pa rea.

Hoppas ni har en bra lordagskvall!

Ibland undrar jag om jag ater onyttigare nar jag tranar for att jag vill 'belona' mig sjalv nar jag varit duktig. Inte bra.

Sedan blev det god glass pa Frangipani med Ed.

Hade ju syrran har nyligen och bastis Diana pa besok i 10 dagar over jul och nyar sa det var full rulle. Kanns ratt skont att inte ha sa mycket planer for denna helgen. Borde dock stada och tvatta.

Funderar aven pa att aka till The Frock Exchange, en second-hand affar for designer klader. Har aldrig varit dar men velat aka lange.

Nagon av en Sydney-svenskar som har varit dar? Ar det vart 1.5 timma med tag och buss for att ta sig dit?

Pa tal om klader sa har jag en ny klanning pa mig idag. Kopte den sent forra aret nar jag kom till jobbet och insag att jag skulle pa prisutdelning for New South Wales Police och hade en inte sa passade gra t-shirt pa mig och kjol.

Sa skyndade till Ojay och panikhandlade en vit klanning, den enda i hela affaren som inte hade polyester i materialet (polyester+30 grader=bad idea).

Klantskallen i mig angrar det nu; jag har redan, andra gangen jag anvander den, lyckats fa en gron flack och fler lar det bli!

Har kan ni se min 2010 lista

Hur ser er lista för 2011 ut?

Hotel Woodbyne is a small, elegant country Hotel offering stylish and fine accommodation in the heart of the green rolling hills of South Coast, New South Wales.

Located at Jaspers Brush, a short 3 minute drive (3.5 kms) from the historical town of Berry and its many restaurants, this relaxing Hotel is a retreat from city hustle and bustle. The 11 guest rooms have been individually decorated and have lots of charm.

Det var ett jattemysigt stalle och jag skulle verkligen rekommendera det, sarskilt om man vill ta med sin partner pa en romatiskt liten getaway.

Igar hade jag o H varit tillsammans i SEX ar. (vad lange det later!)

Forra aret nar vi firade fem sa skrev jag om det har pa bloggen, men eftersom jag har fatt manga nya lasare sedan dess sa kor vi samma igen, med lite fler foton fran forra aret.

Lite av lathet, men sa har ju heller inte historien om hur vi traffades andrats sedan forra aret heller. ;)

Nar vi at middag pa Hungry Duck i mandags kvall och pratade om det kommande aret sa sa H (efter nagra glas vin): `I think this will be the proposal-year.'

Watch this space.... ;)



Vi traffades ju i augusti (eller var det september?) 2005 men blev inte ihop forrans jag kom till Australien i januari 2006.

Nar jag bodde i Goteborg i 2005 gick jag o Frida och traffade en man som sa att han kunde se in i framtiden.

Jag hade varit singel i over ett halvar da, ville vara singel i minst tva ar till, skulle flytta till Grekland om bara nagra veckor och hade massa andra lander jag ville bo och jobba i.

Sa jag fnyste nar mannen sa att jag skulle traffa ``mannen du kommer ha barn med'' den sommaren. ``Nejdu jag ska vara pa Rhodos och jobba hela sommaren och fortsatta resa efter det. Sa det passar inte o traffa nagon nu.''

Men han bara log o sa att det var det han kunde se.

Efter fyra manader i Grekland, nagra dagar innan jag skulle till Norge och jobba, kom Harry o han kompis George in pa El Corazon dar jag jobbade som servitris och natten innan jag flog hem foljde han med hem ;)

``Du kan val mejla,'' sa han innan han gick pa morgonen nar jag stod och panikpackade det sista. ``Visst,'' sa jag, men trodde inte det skulle handa.

Men vi borjade mejla fram och tillbaka, och han kom och halsade pa mig i Tromso, Norge i fyra dagar nar jag var dar och jobbade.

Sen akte han tillbaka till Sydney och jag akte till London med Maria och jobbade som bartender.

Harry mejlade och sa att ville jag komma till Sydney sa kunde han fixa jobb pa sin fasters restaurant. Jag ringde mamma nar jag o Maria stod inne pa H&M i London och fragade om jag kunde lana pengar till en flygbiljett till Australien. ``Men tank om han ar en galning, han kanske bara lurar dig, hur vet du att han kommer vanta pa dig pa flygplatsen nar du kommer dit?'' sa hon. ``Ar han inte dar sa klarar jag mig val sjalv,'' sa jag.

Sa pa nyarsaftonen 2005 (tolvslaget spenderade pa Paris flygplats) bar det av till Sydney. Ja, han motte mig pa flygplatsen;). Vi akte hem till hans foraldrar och dar bodde jag med honom i ett langt tag innan vi flyttade till egen lagenhet.

Sa for er som sager att semesterflirtar, ligga forsta natten, bo med killens foraldrar och flytta utomlands for en kille inte funkar - not true! ;)

Efter frulle pa hotellet och en fin dag pa varldens vitaste strand Hyams Beach (visar bilder imorgon) akte vi till Hs farbrors sommarhus i Kangaroo Valley och drack daiquiris gjorda av farska mangos och at moussaka.

Imorgon ar the baaack to liiife (work), baaack to reaaaliiity... ;)

Min favoritrestaurang i Berry.

De odlar sina egna gronsaker i en fin liten tradgard bakom restaurangen, och anvander endast lokalt och ekologist kott.

Vi at duck three ways, rabarb tarte tartin och massa annat gott.

Nar korsbaren kostar mindre an $10 (65kr) per kilo sa passar man pa, eller hur? (pa vintern kostar de ungefar det dubbla)

Sitter med 2 kilo i knat, inkopta from the back of a fruit truck vid Bulli Lookout.
