› Manifesting the rest of 2026 ✨ The Year of Growth, Healing & Happiness

Romanticize your life, protect your peace, and become the version of yourself you’ve always dreamed of. 🌸
Manifesting for the rest of 2026—the year I choose myself. ✨
2026 is not just about new goals. It’s about a new mindset, new energy, and creating a life that truly feels good. I want this year to be filled with peace, growth, and balance—surrounded by people who bring positivity instead of drama and becoming the version of myself I’ve always dreamed of.
This year that is left, I’m manifesting;🌸 A peaceful life with less stress and more happiness
🤍 Genuine friendships and healthy relationships
💸 Financial freedom and enough money to live comfortably
✨ A glow up — inside and out
🌿 Self-love, healing, and prioritizing self-care
✈️ Vacations, adventures, and unforgettable memories
💪 A healthy body, strong mind, and confidence
📚 Personal growth and motivation to keep improving
😊 Happiness in the little moments every single day
I want to become the person who no longer doubts their worth. The person who takes care of themselves, chases their dreams, and isn’t afraid to live life fully.
Manifestation isn’t just about wishing for things. It’s about believing, taking action, and building habits that bring you closer to the life you want. Small steps every day create big changes over time.
So here’s my reminder for the rest of 2026:
You don’t need to have everything figured out. You just need to keep moving forward. 🌷
What are you manifesting for the rest of 2026? ✨●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●●
I actually found this picture on Pinterest and honestly, it is exactly what I want with this year that is left.
Nothing crazy but focus on me. This will also be a manifestation for me from now on.

› Confidence Feels Different Now
Trying to reconnect with confidence I used to have.

Even though I smile infront of the camera, I struggle. After a while, I finally did my makeup again.
People were staring at me while I was walking down the street on my way to pick up my son.
Honestly?
I don’t care. Sorta.
I’m alternative, and when I finally have both the energy and the time to do my makeup, I do it.
Today’s look was black, brown, and red around the eyes.
I’m also trying to step out of my comfort zone by wearing black eyeshadow again as a plus size woman.
A few years ago, after losing 40 kg, I used to wear dark makeup all the time and felt amazing and confident.With filters? Sure. But real life feels different sometimes.
Today… I don’t feel that confidence the same way anymore.
At least not outside.
Plus size can also be alternative. But today, I didn’t go all out. Just a little. -
› Sleep deprived and sleepwalking
A night without sleep and.. a sleepwalking child?
This night is not going well for me. I can’t sleep (writing this post, it’s 3am), and my son has woken up several times and come to our bed, so I have walked him back to his and laid down next to him.
All of a sudden, he sits up. I try to make him lie down again, but no. After like 10 minutes he lay down again. He talks in his sleep, and boom, at 2.50am he gets up. Go to the living room and start packing his backpack. I followed him and tried to get him to come back to bed—no success.
Packed his bag and say, “Now let’s go,” and go to the entrance hallway. I had tried for several minutes to get him back to bed, and when he said that, I answered him, “Yes, to the bed,“ and here we are now.
I wonder why and when it happened. Has it happened before? While I have been sleeping? I have never seen E walk in his sleep or anything so. Note that the whole apartment is completely pitch black, and he walks around with no problem.
Due to me not being able to sleep, my eyes have adjusted to the minimum of lights.
So now I’m in his bed, trying to get him to fall asleep, but no success. At this rate, it won’t be any school for me.

› Glimpses of my weekend
Glimpses of my weekend – week 20 {may 15-17}

Another weekend has come to an end and oh boy, has it been a roller-coaster of emotions, moments and thoughts.
Friday ; E didn’t have any school {only the after-school school thing} and when he came home, we went on a car ride. Just, to go for a ride and change environment for a bit. Well, see something else.

Sunset. Not fall. Saturday; unfortunately, the bug found us. The sick bug. We had a calm day. Had to go to the store, though, and E had a face mask on. No gems were escaping—have no fear! A face mask is here to protect everyone. Lol!
Sadly we had to go to the store three times , yes you read correctly. Every time, E had a facemask on and we kept distance from everyone. When chrck out, E stood at the end of the checkout so i could pay etc with no worries for anyone
Don’t worry {we kept distance. E had face mask and I barely spoke}

Round one; carrots (for me. Weighloss), bread, roasted onions (for E and his stomach) and Pepsi Max. As usual. We also bought an ice cream to E.
Round two; bananas.
I made a smoothie with passion fruit, strawberries, blackberries, mango and raspberries. Oh my. It was sound so I had to add a pinch of sugar in it. I didn’t like that I had to add some sugar so.. I decided I needed bananas. So off we went again. Additional on shopping; chocolate.

So bright.
Round three ; package.
We came home from round two, and we were sitting in the living room. Me checking my phone, noticing the post office app, and remembering I had a package to get. So off we went. I even joked with E, saying, “What you don’t have in your head, you surely have in your legs, but now we can’t come back for a fourth time. Three times is enough.”
At home again sadly E threw up again. So back to the couch and blankets.

Sunday ; staying home & bubbles
Today we have been home, chilling. Although we had to go to the store once to buy French fries and bread..again.
I finally remembered that I bought E a new bubble machine when his broke, so today he got it and oh my, was it a hit!! He has emptied two cans of soapbubblesmix.
I also did a little DIY fix on my tripod. When I was going to fix it and put on the bag, I noticed the plate that holds the camera when using it was coming off, so I brought out the big guns ~ the box with all the screws. Unfortunately I only had a long one that fit the hole, but hey, at least I can use it now.
Photos from the weekend.

The bruise is after I smacked my knee in the livingroom table last Thursday (14th of May) and this is how it looks now.

› Daily prompt
What’s a thing you were completely obsessed with as a kid?
Elephants! Oh ever since I was a young girl I have been obsessed with elephants.
I actually got an stuffed animal that I got on christmas eve 1992. I was two years old.
Til this day, I still have him. No i am not ashamed to admit that. 35 soon 36 years old and still have her stuffed animal since childhood.
Not in the bed though.
Fun fact: my son didn’t want the elephant as a baby, so I kept the elephant to myself. I have tried ever since then, but he refuses my elephant every time.
I actually want to go to Africa and take photos of wild elephants! I have seen elephants in real life, but at the zoo in Sweden, and I cried. I cried because I was happy seeing one, but mostly I cried because it was awful how tiny an area they had. The prison-looking and -feeling area. I hate zoos.
