In Sweden I experience spa living every day without even trying!

Here it is so easy to live the wellness lifestyle that I love because the weather is good, nature is gorgeous, food is out of this world and family and friends are all around.

This time of year the days are long and the nights very short and warm and almost everyone spends as much time as possible out doors eating, exercising, visiting and relaxing.

Morning runs in the breathtaking forest are so precious; the nature sounds, the fresh air and the smell of the lush greens are totally rejuvenating.

We walk or ride bicycles pretty much wherever we need to go as well as long strolls while catching up with family and friends.

The outdoor cafes and restaurants, manicured parks, west coast beaches and east coast archipelago, it is all so lovely and gets everyone out of the house and together.

And the spas here are incredible. I visit as many as I can and also make sure to experience a few. At Asia Spa in my hometown Varberg I enjoyed the incredible water facilities where pools have different massage stations that relax sore muscles and joints. The sauna oasis with several types of sauna baths was wonderful; my favorite was the sea salt sauna with natural minerals and eucalyptus. Loved the energizing wenleu (warm flow) facial massage treatment that have a lifting effect and stimulate the flow in face, neck and scalp. The final rest in the beautiful and newly added relaxing rooms was divine and zen like.

I highly recommend a little trip away to visit Sweden during the summer; it will be an exciting experience even if you can’t take all of July off like the Swedes do…

I always leave Sweden with a great amount of refreshed energy.

Swedish summer is my happy place.
