Happy President’s Day too while I’m at it. Are you having a day off? Doing anything fun?
And how was your Valentine’s? I used it to make excuses why I should eat sugar all day ugh! Here are some pics of mine & Angel’s shoot where we tried our best to be, or at least pretended to be romantic 🙂 Too much fun when you get to play with your bestie!
I also had a Zoom call with a fan/friend and he knows I like mushrooms. He shows up wearing a mushroom hat, so I had to bring out mine too. I guess I can say I had a date on Valentines after all 🙂
And a video where I explain that she only had one job before the shoot – ‘don’t f*ck up’ the cookie!
Also hauled Angel, Jennifer and Ashley to IKEA with me. Pretended to cook up some meatballs in one of their display kitchens 😉
Was looking for the ‘friends’ section at IKEA. Luckily I found the 2 last ones at a discount LOL…
Also hit Mothership coffee and got smash burgers at Love Always 🙂
Did some pickleballing too. I was pretty good. Or the other people were not that good. Either way, a lot of fun! Got another clinic today, but will try to lift some weights before too!
Resting and recovery is always important. Hunter is on the same page with that. Doubt he needs recovery from anything, just resting from his street surveillance duties. He also has to make sure the neighbors cat Ocean, stays on his side of the street.
Have my friends Amanda & George in town. We tried a new Korean BBQ place called Grill Nine. I like when you have the option for All-You-Can-Eat and they also had sushi on their menu. Tasty place, but not my favorite…
Best part was to find a Korean market after. So much fun and cute stuff. And candy! I lost it to sugar the past 2 weeks and hoarded up on more sugar! I passed on the boiled pork toes!
Cameras rolled, fresh fantasies created… Just another day at the office!
In between my sugar intake I did make some heathy choices too! I made this carnivore pizza crust. The whole pizza can be made fully carnivore, but I did add tomato paste and mushrooms on mine. This is delicious and so easy and fast to make. The woman’s IG account is @itscourtneyluna if you want some healthy recipes 🙂
Today I’m cutting refined sugars again. Fot the 36th time it feels like hahahaaa… I can have stuff sweetened with honey, maple syrup or vanilla drops. I feel better when I eat real foods. When I have sugary options, I can skip a whole meal and just eat a pastry or enough chocolate and call it a meal.
Yesterday we had 14 people that went on a hike doing the Kraft Mountain Loop trail. So much fun! I put some ribs in the smoker before and made a chili for after too. Hunter loves Amanda!
Also finished the 2nd season of ‘Andor’ which I think was a bit up and down. Never been into Star Wars, but the 1st season was pretty good.
Also finished watching the series ‘The Lowdown’ with Ethan Hawk. So good and I loved it!
And lastly I finished reading the ‘The Nightingale’ by Kristin Hannah. My 3rd book in a row by her. A little slower in the beginning, but plenty of excitement as you get further in the book.
Got a hair appointment for this week and will see what else shows up my way 🙂
First off I tried a new trail in Calico Basin last Sunday. It was so awesome and beautiful. It’s called Kraft Mountain Loop and takes about 2,5h. In one part of it you walk on a riverbed and you are surrounded by beautiful striped rocks and mountains. Already gathering people to go back there another time!
Decided on the hike that I might as well start my 72h fast too. It was pretty freaking hard this time! I think my mistake was going to the gym on Monday and working out for an hour and then playing pickleball for 2h after. I think it drained me and I felt pretty hungry the whole duration of the fast. BUT, I did it! The result, no bloat and like last time, I wasn’t tired, but have to remember to take it a bit easy in the gym while fasting!
I found this place close by where you paint pottery. I asked my neighbors to come with me and we all loved it! They had a bunch of different things to choose from to paint. I need more coffee mugs so I picked one. There are a lot of different techniques and in between creating you have to dry the paint up before adding more. Now our pieces are drying and cant wait to see how it turns out. Can you guess which one of the mugs is mine LOL…
I bought a membership to the place and plan to make more stuff! I can really recommend trying this with your friends!
This week was an overload of shooting! First on my own… Thanks for my fabulous chef’s outfit Danny 🙂
Then more stuff with Angel. We also had a suite to utilize and Greg, the great photographer, showed up too. I’m just showing some of it here but I have so much more. Just haven’t had time to go through it all yet.
I also bought us these cute cookies. I thought we could shoot some cute Valentine’s stuff. One got ruined before I even left the cafe. I then told Angle to carry the other one in the box so it would not get smashed. She had ONE job, to carry the box! Next thing I know she has it tucked under her arm and you can’t even read the text hahhaaaa… I still think we made it look cute 🙂
Not sure what I said, but Angel looked like she was ready to stab me , so I drew a knife in her hand LMAO…
Since it was the Superbowl yesterday, we went with the theme!
Did you watch the Superbowl? Angel knows someone, who knows someone, so we had tickets to go watch it at Aria with Greg. There was so much food and desserts that I could use another 72h fast now hahhaaaa… It was great though!
Got these cool metallic nails done too, nap time, late night selfie, me and Hunter doing neighborhood watch, and me stuffing my face with a strudel 🙂
I think that covers it. My current plan is to get some organizing done. Things and clothes are all over the place. Got a pickleball clinic later today and plan to try some new recipes I found on Instagram 🙂 Are you celebrating or doing something on Valentine’s on Saturday? I might dress Hunter up and we can feast on some tuna & chocolate 🙂
Hawaii was great and I could’ve stayed a couple of more days there 🙂 Didn’t feel I had a reset after the Holidays, but now I feel I’m ready to take on 2026!
Didn’t have time for the gym as I planned or a proper meal at home before leaving. I don’t know how I planned my time and had to resort to a pizza at the airport before flying 🙂
The flight from Vegas to Honolulu was about 6,5h. Got picked up by my friend and got a beautiful lei 🙂 I learned that you are supposed to keep the lei on as long as you are with the person that gave it to you. It might be considered disrespectful to take it off. Also not to throw it in the trash, but rather discard it in nature…
The next morning I went for a walk around the neighborhood. Needed to move and walking is the best way to discover new places I believe. Loved to step out in the warm weather and being so close to the ocean!
Spotted these geckos or lizards in a tree. They looked like something created by AI since they were so vibrant! Hunter would’ve loved to snack on one 😉
Got burgers at Teddy’s for lunch. The umami fries were soooo good!
Then we packed in the kids in the car and hit the beach. Felt good to get into the ocean again!
Got home and we went for another longer walk. I like when you are with friends who enjoy same things as you do 🙂
Barely had time to wash the sweat, beach and salt off me before it was time for dinner. We went out for dinner at Arancino. Very very tasty! My favorite was the squid ink pasta with lobster.
Next morning a coffee shop visit at The Curb. I get so happy when I get a perfect latte!
Another day, another beach 🙂 This one is called Kailua Beach and was my favorite out of the two. It was so still and their babysitter bought me a floatie that I could float around on 🙂
Also got busy digging water canals and making sandcastles 🙂
The beach knocked me out and I took a nap after. Then went to a grill and picked up some grilled garlic shrimp for dinner.
On Saturday we hit the Kuliouou Trail. Got pretty steep and hot closer to the top, but we made it! My friend kept the pace at super-speed and it probably would’ve taken me at least 20min more to the top! The reward was beautiful view and a little breather, before it was time to speed downhill!
Drove into Waikiki for lunch. I had some fresh tuna poke and it was delicious!
Dinner was a great Korean BBQ place called Hangang. Great place and food, and I ate like a champ 🙂
Had time for a walk in the morning before it was time to pack up and go to the airport. Very happy with the trip and like I said, could’ve used a coupe of more days there easily!
I guess pink was the theme for Sunday as this was me at the airport 🙂
Almost forgot, finished a book on this trip. It’s called ‘The Great Alone’ by Kristin Hannah. I had a hard time to put it down. Very exciting and intense. Loved that it takes place in Alaska that is on my bucket list to visit. This is a caption from Google – ‘A desperate family (Ernt, Cora, and Leni Allbright) moves to the isolated Alaskan wilderness for a fresh start, only to find the external environment less threatening than the father’s deteriorating mental state and abusive behavior due to his Vietnam War trauma. Survival, domestic violence, resilience, the mother-daughter bond, and the wildness of both nature and human nature.’
I started another book by the author now called ‘Winter Garden’. Haven’t read that much and it seems good, but not as great as the one I read. Will see if I continue or switch books…
This week I’m getting my a$$ back to work and the gym! Need to detox from sugar which will be very hard, ugh! I plan to do an other 72h fast starting on Friday or Saturday. I tend to loose all my willpower come the weekend, so I thought it be smart fasting then 🙂 I got ribs and a pork butt in the smoker now so I’ll get my proteins!
Hope that your 2026 has started in the best way! I can’t complain. Been running around town with my sister, did a 2 hour pickleball clinic, and expected Finland to win gold at the Junior Hockey Championships! Spoiler, they didn’t!
First off, NYE with Angel, Sophie Marie & some other peeps that didn’t make it into the pic.
Managed to stay awake until midnight with the help of some Margaritas and these delicious bites Angel made. Yes, we finished the whole tray!
Here is Hunter strolling into 2026 🙂 He also did not approve of my party blowers that I used for my New Year’s greeting video and decided to try to massacre it with his 4 teeth that he has left. That was enough action for him on the first day of 2026.
My sister and I worked on some clothing and added some of the new bling patches we bought in LA. Under the supervision of the ruler of the household! Hunter got his own Xmas tree decoration from my sister which he appreciated.
Happy to start the New Year with a 2h pickleball clinic. Bunch of people playing and you rotated around based on your skill level. Played with some fun ladies pretty much for 2h straight…
That gave me an appetite and I took my sister to North Italia. Working on being healthy again will just have to wait a little. We decided after pizza and pasta to have some dessert, and we were pretty close to licking the plate and bowl clean since it was delicious 🙂
Topped it off with some Swedish candy a friend sent me for Christmas. These bags are from a store called Candy’s Candy Shop in San Fransisco. Have you heard how Swedish candy now is a thing here in America? Bunch of places selling it and people making TikTok videos eating it…
Squeezed in a little work between running around town… These gym clothes are from a brand called Vuori. It means mountain in Finnish. Their clothes are so soft and comfy. They are not the cheapest, but I found some on sale at the outlet here in Vegas. If you are looking for comfortable stuff, this is it!
We also did a full day on The Strip. Walked around the hotels and my sister found this blinged out hat that was right up our alley 🙂
On Sunday it was time for the semifinals of the Junior Hockey Championships between Sweden and Finland. Cheering hard for Finland and it was such an exciting game that went to over-time and then penalties. So close, but we lost to Sweden 🙁 Perkele is what I have to say about that!
On Monday it was time for my sister to fly back to Sweden. She soaked up some Vegas sun and caffeine in the morning with Hunter and then we went for a hike.
She also had to test the weight of her carry-on bag so she would be able to lift it up in the overhead bin LOL…
So happy we got 2 weeks together. We always have the best time together! Dropped her off at the airport and missed her the minute she left!
Lot of work to catch up on yesterday. Then hit the gym and spa.
Got to pack for Hawaii now. Might hit the gym if I have time. I like to move before sitting on a plane. Hunters sitter comes at around 2 and then I’m off to the airport 🙂 Bringing my pickleball paddle as I see they have courts close to where I’m staying. Looking forward to going to some beaches too and trying some local coffee roasters!
It’s finally working here! I got the clear sign and it looked great, BUT, couldn’t make a new post 🙁 Decided that I’m not totally incapable on my own and resorted to asking Gemini for help. 2h later I think I made it all worse, and the girl from Upwork confirmed that fact. Luckily she was able to fix my f*ck ups and here we are 🙂
So here comes a little recap of the past 2, or has it been 3(?) weeks. Most recently was Thanksgiving. How was yours? I went with Angel to a friends’ house and it was tasty! Deep fried turkey and sweet potatoes covered in marshmallows, can’t get much better 🙂 Yes, I consumed a bunch of sugar and ate apple pie with ice cream too! Almost forgot that they had 2 senior ginger cats too. Only caught the less shy one on camera…
The gym has improved too. My shoulders have been very weak, but now I can hang from a bar for a short time! It’s not a muscle up, but got to start somewhere. Even tried pilates and loved it. Just got to find a class in the schedule that caters to beginners now. Bunch of gym pics for you to prove it!
Oh, and best of all, I’m back at pickleball! Took a lesson and doing another one this week so I’ll be dinking and learning top spin like a pro… Or at least not making myself look like a total fool on the court!
They claim you should have balance in life, so I did some work too. Advent Calendar launched on Monday and it’s been a spicy start 🙂 Not too late to join the fun through www.onlyfans.com/pumaswede or email me!
Remember I told you that I shot some custom videos for Angel. She needed a stunt cock, and the great friend I am, I took on the assignment and I hope I don’t offend anyone by being so ‘hung’ LOL…
There was a week of rain here in Vegas. I’ve been here for over a year and it never rained so many days straight. Felt like Swedish fall weather. I have a thing for my Onepieces and love wearing cosy clothing so it suited me perfectly!
It was also a perfect time to hit the spa and sit in the sauna to warm up. The cold plunge, not so much hahahhaaa… I did manage 30 seconds in there with somewhat normal breathing so I call that a win!
I finally also tried the cryo chamber. There are 4 different levels and I started at the pu*sy level that is -140F. It wasn’t as bad as it sounds and you get socks, hat, mask and gloves. I was in for 1,5min and it felt refreshing! Then went into the LED bed.
Kayla was moving, so I brought my muscle power to help her pack up her storage. A pic to prove that my muscles were at work 🙂
Found an awesome spot here in Vegas called The Farm. They sell some produce and have farm animals. And a lot of cats! Love this place!
After I found a highly rated smash burger place in that neighborhood. It was popular with a line outside to even get in to order. Totally worth the wait. Place is called With Love Always and they’ll have future visits from me 🙂
Another Sunday, another hike.
Since I couldn’t post pics before of Hunter being a trooper at the vet, here they are. And a pic of him when he had both his canine teeth before the vet visit. He now only has one left, but doesn’t seem to be bothered by it. And some more pics of Hunter just because…
When doing boring tasks, bring a friend along. Like Angel going to the Dr’s office for somehow messing up her wrist, I came along for the promise of lunch after 🙂 We also found a HUGE beauty store with everything you might need to pimp yourself out. I love wigs and wish I could change my hair color and style as easily as putting on a wig. And lastly her doggo Jersey giving me some sloppy love 🙂
OK, that’s it for now. Don’t want to overwhelm you with too much Puma 😉 More coming this Sunday. I’m currently at hour 40 on my attempt to be fasting for 72 hours. Let you know on Sunday if I make it! Soon off to get my hair done. The wigs inspired me! Shooting tomorrow and plan to get a Xmas tree this weekend. What do you think of this one? Totally my style I think!
OK, time to make a move. Hope you’ve been good while I was absent 🙂
My media storage here has run out of space, but I hired someone to move it where I can keep blasting you with more pics and vids in the future 🙂 It should be ready by next week!
This week was pretty great! Had an intro class for Pilates and loved it. Going to add some more pilates to my workouts! Also been doing the hot/cold therapy and finally managed to sit and breath somewhat normal for 20secs in 48 degree water! Next week I will try the cryo booth. I’m guessing I’ll walk in and be out before the door even closes LOL…
Was a bit stressed taking Hunter to the veterinarian for his teeth. He was a trooper obviously! Unfortunately they had to remove 2 teeth and one of them was his canine front tooth 🙁 His breath doesn’t smell like death anymore, so I guess his mouth health was lacking.
Shot a lot and I’m launching Puma’s Advent Calendar starting December 1st running until the 24th. It will be on the spicy site you all probably heard of (www.onlyfans.com/pumaswede). Just in case someone is looking to trade their chocolate calendar to something more fun. And healthier except if you have a heart condition maybe 😉 In short, you will get something spicy sent to you daily 🙂 Oh, if for some reason you don’t feel comfortable joining that site, message me and I can send an email for your daily surprises!
Also helped Angel shoot a couple of customs too. I’ll show you some fun pics next week 🙂
On the mention of chocolate… I’ve been without sugar for 2 weeks now. I only eat or make things sweetened with honey, vanilla extract, or maple syrup. No refined white sugar or cane sugar. It’s pretty crazy that almost everything contains sugar. Even most of the bacon in the store! And I obviously don’t eat or cook in seed oils. Only beef tallow, ghee, butter, olive or avocado oil. I’m patting myself on the shoulder writing this hahahaaa….
Went for a hike today in Calico Basin. Damn, it got cold here in Vegas and I even had to wear gloves. Got me in the Xmas spirit though, and going to find my lights and start decorating 🙂
Don’t have too many plans for this upcoming week. Work & play I guess 🙂 Fingers crossed that the change to the new page goes smoothly and that I can share it next week.
Didn’t really know a lot about Whitefish, but the pics online of the place looked inviting, so thought a birthday trip there would be an excellent idea! And it was!
I think I mentioned before that have slight fear of bears! I have watched and read plenty of educational material on how to act if you encounter a bear. Unfortunately I think all my rationality would blow out of my brain and I’d either freeze or run LOL…
Didn’t help that the first thing I see at the Kalispell airport is bear spray for rent!
The airport is small and it’s the nicest airport I’ve been to. The rental car desk was downstairs and the lot with the car was a 3 min walk away. Very convenient not having to take some shuttle bus to a place to pick it up after flying…
Checked in to the Airbnb right in the city and went eating and checking the town out. It’s small, but pretty. Plenty of places to choose from when it comes to eating. Decided on this food truck park called Thirty Eight with live music. Crab bowl with no lame imitation crab and tacos. Couldn’t decide and was fomo-ing. Then ice-cream for dessert at Sweet Peaks, but it was more icy than creamy 🙁
Went to a store to pick up some stuff for the hike the following day. Had to pick some new flavors of Maeve chocolate I’d never tried. If you see this chocolate, buy and try it. It’s the best! They even had Swedish ginger bread cookies!!!
I had booked a group hike with Glacier Guides Montana Raft since I was too freaked out by the idea of hiking alone in bear woods! Meet up time was at 7am and since I need coffee first thing in the morning, I bought this strong ass instant coffee the night before at the store! 300mg of caffeine should do the trick, right? And apparently formulated for NASA in 2018, so I thought it would be good enough for me too LOL!
It was dark and lonely on the streets when I left at 6.20AM…
I met at their office with the group. Got our lunchpacks and jumped in their van for a 2h drive to the Glacier Park. The start was from a hotel, which I don’t remember the name of, but they had beautiful mountain and lake views. We had a short talk about bears with both guides carrying bear spray. Basically they said a bears thoughts were not “look, a human, let me eat it”… And they had never needed to use their bear sprays. OK, felt pretty relaxed after hearing that!
The hike was about 15km in total there and back from the glacier. The nature was impressive!
We finally reached the glacier with super clear water. Surprisingly you were allowed to swim in it. Pretty hot after the hike I took a quick dip. Needed to show the rest of the group what we Finn’s are made of! Cold, but so refreshing! After lunch in the sun and drying up.
This was an awesome hike! My joints were hurting pretty bad after, but so worth it! Outdoors gives you an appetite and dinner was at this cute little restaurant called Piggyback Barbecue. Probably some of the best ribs I’ve ever had!
Since it was my birthday weekend, I couldn’t drive by Clydesdale Creamery without having this sugar bomb! WOW, it was almost too much. But only almost! They also have a Clydesdale (giant horse breed) farm that you can visit and stay at. If I had more time I would’ve gone there too…
Soaked in the hot tub which was under a giant tree in the back yard of my Airbnb after, and it was a perfect ending to the day!
Saturday was my birthday! Happy birthday to me 🙂 Started by getting coffee at Folklore and enjoying it in front of the fireplace…
Dressed to impress!
More coffee in town and some shopping. I’m good at treating myself 🙂 Spotted these cute doggos on the town too…
Then went to the City beach. I’m like a kid when it comes to water. Had to get in and do another quick dip 🙂
Dinner was at the Whitefish Lake Golf Club at their restaurant. The smoked trout for starter went down faster than I could take a picture of it. The steak was great even though the presentation could’ve used some creativity 🙂 They gave me an ice-cream dessert with a sparkler 🙂
Since it was still light out I checked out the neighboring downtown of Columbia Falls. Not much there and definitely happy I chose to stay in Whitefish instead. Beautiful sunset by the river and thankfully no bears 🙂
Finished in the hottub again and it was definitely the highlight of my Airbnb with the fireplace and heated floors 🙂
My flight wasn’t until the afternoon on Sunday so started with caffeine at Folklore. Great coffee spot!
Then a short hike at Swift Creek Loop Trail. But first – Rent bear Spray! Convenient station where you could rent bear spray per day.
I think I can admit it was probably not the most enjoyable hike in my life. I was just on a constant lookout for bears hahahaa… Luckily there were people on the trail, so I hoped the bears would go for quantity! Needles to say, no bears. But so many other animals. Big woodpecker, what I think was a chipmunk, some hairy larva and only had time to catch a pic of the snakes tail. Snakes don’t bother me at all!
Stopped for a coffee on the way back to town at Crema which was excellent and just next to the parking lot this deer was grazing 🙂
Hungry again and went back to Thirty Eight because they had a BBQ truck from Texas there on Sundays. Baked potato with brisket and some huge rib, both smoked to perfection!
Could’ve easily spent a couple more days here. Can really recommend Whitefish if you enjoy nature, hikes, skiing in the winter and perfect little cute town with everything you need! And bears….
Still good to come back and hug Hunter. Angel’s friend looked after him and from the pictures she sent me, he lived like a king while I was gone 🙂 Only the best for Hunter!
What I planned to look like for my birthday… But that didn’t happen! Maybe next year when I turn 50 🙂
Lots of other stuff to tell you about, but it will have to wait until Sunday 🙂
After a week in Sweden it was time to pack up for my annual hike with my sister. This is the 6th consecutive year we’ve went. This time we set out for the 160 km long Padjelanta Trail in the northern part of Sweden.
You feel every extra kilo in the backpack on your back! The weather forecast looked rainy so we both bought rain pants. Most of the huts sell food and snacks, but since you don’t know what or how much they’ll have, we brought food for every day.
We flew up to Gällivare early in the morning on a smaller propeller plane.
From there it was a 3h bus ride to Ritsem where you can start the trail from. Saw reindeer on the road and we had a pee break at a cool hotel on way. Had to take a pic of the stuffed bear since I have a slight bear phobia…
We spent the night at Ritsem since we arrived late. Most rooms have bunk beads and since I thought I might roll out of bed we made a barrier out of our slippers 🙂
There are 2 departures with a boat in the morning to shuttle you over to where the trail starts from. In very good spirits and ready to tackle the first 18km of the trail!
There was a small settlement where we started where the Sirkas Sámi have their summer stays. I loved this church ‘kåta’. ‘Kåta’, traditional Sámi housing back in the day.
After about an hour it started raining lightly. Then the wind picked up and it started raining even more. Luckily half-way to our first stop, there was a small shelter. We went inside to make some food, hot chocolate and put on long johns.
A Sámi guy also entered to have some shelter from the rain. He worked on the trails in the area during summer and otherwise hunts reindeer. He also happened to mention that there are bears in the area. I had a slight panic attack until he said that the bear will see us, but we’ll never see them. Puh!
Warm & full, we took on the last part of the trail. The weather switched between rain and no rain. Beautiful surroundings with a lot of waterfalls. Worth mentioning is that the water is so clean here, that you can always fill your water bottle up and have ice cold and fresh water. Yes, my rain poncho on top of my backpack makes me look something from the ‘The Hunchback of Notre Dame’ character!
Our first night we spent at the Kutjaure Mountain cabin. All the cabins have one or two wardens that supervise the cabins. Everyone is asked to help bring in water in buckets, empty waste water buckets after doing dishes, chop up and bring in logs for the fireplace and clean up. The cabins have no running water or electricity. They have gas though so you can heat up water/food and pots, pans, plates, glasses and utensils to eat and cook your food from. Here is dinner with the fireplace going and us having our coffee the next morning before heading out.
2nd day was 19km. A bit of rain and most of the day was cloudy. We met a German lady who had taken a break and offered us some coffee. Most of the people you meet on the trail and in the huts are super friendly! Saw some reindeer too 🙂
2nd night was spent at Låddejåkka cabin. Dinner was a super tasty Bison Chili and a Blueberry Peach Crisp for dessert 🙂
The 3rd day was one of our longer days and it was 25k. We skipped one of the huts and it made the hike longer. The trail was pretty even and easy even though it started with a 4k long uphill climb. A lot of heavy fog when we reached the top, but so quiet and peaceful!
Since there was no rain we had some porridge with dried raspberries, coconut flakes and goji berries for lunch. Some chocolate chip cookies too for some sugar to help with the remaining kilometers 🙂
The 3rd night was spent at Staloluokta cabin. This was the only place along the trail that had a sauna. Us being Finns obviously we got very excited! I can’t describe how good and rewarding it felt after the long day! And to wash off properly too! 2 thumbs up for Staloluokta and their sauna!
Since we both prefer to eat outdoors, we always start our mornings with just black coffee. Then hike and find a good spot for breakfast. It’s a good thing we are so alike – wake up early, fine with starting the day with just coffee and pretty much keep the same speed on the trails.
The 4th day was an 18 km day. Very beautiful scenery and so green everywhere.
Found a nice spot by a waterfall to eat and rest. Right after we packed up we spotted a small group of reindeer. They say that if you spot a white reindeer, it brings you luck!
Most of the days so far had been cloudy and rainy. This afternoon we finally got some sunshine! Had to sit down and just enjoy the warmth. Probably our legs needed a break too 😉 See, the reindeer brought some luck right away 🙂
When we almost were finished, we come to this wide river. No way around, but through. Soaking wet feet, socks and shoes ! And 10 minutes later there was another river crossing just as wide, so we arrived with clean feet at Tuottar cabins 🙂
Here they had about 6 smaller cabins with 3 bunk beds in each. We shared our cabin with a solo hiker from Catalan. The water was down at the river where we just came from and kind of far. The guy was a gentleman and told us to chill and he’d walk down and fill the water buckets so we didn’t have to 🙂 Instead we went to see what the store had to offer. My sister got very happy to find that they had beer. Even though it cost like 3 times more than in the store 🙂 Oh, and there was a rainbow so more luck to us hopefully!
5th day was a 26km day again since we skipped a cabin and walked to the next one. Started with decent weather. A little pit stop by a river…
Right after we had to cross that river. Soaked again… I think from this point on, our shoes and socks never completely dried up for the rest of the trip!
Since my hiking shoes are made of leather they don’t let out the water. After each river crossing I had to stop and empty the water out of them and wring out my socks.
We were pretty exhausted by the end of this day. It rained on and off and the final stretch was downhill and the trail was wet, muddy and slippery. We had made reservations before for all of the cabins. They say you have to arrive before 6pm to be guaranteed to get your room. Otherwise it might be given to someone else without a reservation, since you might not show up. We got a bit stressed at the end of the hike since we didn’t arrive until 6.45pm. Our longest day so far. But we were lucky and got our own room at Såmmarlappa Mountain cabin 🙂
Our 6th day was a 19km stretch. It got more woodsy as we were on lower elevation. That also meant that the trail was even more wet, big pools of water and a lot of mud you tried to step around. Also the weather cooled down. Around 5°C in the morning and you could see some fresh snow on the mountain tops.
We could feel the kilometers in our legs by now and felt good when we finally arrived at the Njunjes Mountain cabin. All the cabins have a fire place, or a heater, in the common room, and in your room so you can dry stuff up. All my crusty socks went up 🙂
Last day was an easy 13km stretch which felt good. You mostly hiked in the woods. We both prefer the higher grounds with open landscape and where you get the views for miles.
Then you have to get on a boat to get a ride to the last mountain station which is Kvikkjokk.
Since there is only one bus which leaves 05.25am daily from Kvikkjokk, we had to spend the night there. Treated ourselves to a delicious 3 course dinner at their restaurant. My starter was smoked elk, fermented reindeer and first time trying reindeer tongue. I wasn’t going to eat that, but the waiter said it’s the best, so gave it a try and it tasted pretty damn good! Dinner was reindeer steak and for dessert we had vanilla ice cream with cloudberries. Cloudberries only grow up here in the north and are called ‘the gold of the forest’. If you ever get a chance to try them, do it! Soooo good!!!
Next morning we took the early bus for about 5h to reach Luleå where we caught a flight back to Stockholm.
What a hike! We both agreed that this was our hardest and most strenuous hike we’ve been on so far. The rainy weather played a huge part since we made fewer stops along the trail. We learned that we need to study the map before-hand if there are a lot of climbs and downhill parts before we decide to just skip a hut. This hike was recommended to be done in 9-10 days and we did it in 7. Even though it was hard at times, it was beautiful and me and my sister always have the best time together. It feels great that we pulled it off and tested our limits. Can’t wait to see what we plan for next year! Thanks for this year’s adventure sis!
More of my time in Sweden coming hopefully on Sunday. Giving jetlag and my sugar cravings a fight now hahahaa…
I like the weather in Vegas now. I usually join Hunter for his morning watch of our street and we catch some sun-rays before we start hustling 🙂
Since one of us has to bring in the dinero for this household (aka me), I put in some work hours. I finally used my backdrop in silver that I made and I think it looks pretty fancy!
This fun play date was also released on my OF page – www.onlyfans.com/pumaswede. It is with Sophie Marie, Brittany Andrews and Veronica Avluv. It was a Tupperware party with a twist 😉
It’s pretty remarkable how many people are out there trying to pull a scam! I learned to be aware and last week someone pretended to be a girl I knew from back in the day. She asked to shoot content together. I asked her to write me a DM on IG to verify it’s really her. The person suggested FaceTime, and I suggested to wear a Michael Myers mask LOL…. I wonder what these fakes want to get out of it?
Trained Body20 one last time with Angel last week because she took off to Europe 🙁 I played some pickleball too, but was overall bad at it so wasn’t any fun! But on a side note, I played today and I was pretty awesome 🙂 Also got a lesson booked for later this week!
Took a hike this weekend and I finally got to see some wild burros. Two different groups of them too. So cool and they were so cute! And one of them was pretty well endowed hahhaaaa….
I don’t think there was much else worth reporting about happening last week. This week I’m going to LA for one day to shoot and got a shoot planned for this weekend too. More pickleball and in the evenings I tried to get some reading done. Also started watching a series called ‘Utopia’ which is pretty awesome. Also watched a an episode of ‘Lonesome Dove’ and it’s pretty good. If you haven’t read the book, I can really recommend it if you like stories about the old old west, cowboys & Indians!
Leaving you with me looking pretty cool (I think), a rose outside my place, Settebello pizza yet again, and I spotted this cute dog outside the restaurant. Doggie obviously wanted pizza too!
This post took longer to write than I expected. It was supposed to be ready on New Years Eve, but I got sidetracked hahhaaa… But here is a little recap of 2024 🙂
Overall it was a great year with travel, moving, and feels like I got a good dose of adventure and experiences…
In January I went to Tepoztlán with some friends. It’s a small town about an hour from Mexico City. I love that place and they believe aliens made a visit there at some point. Never spotted any even though I wanted to 🙁
In February I visited La Paz which is the capital of Baja California Sur. A cute town and best part was snorkeling with whale sharks. And my giant Margarita 🙂

Also got to go to the big yearly art show Zonamaco in Mexico City with my Swedish friend Sanna. I love art shows…
Apparently I became a carrothead too. Not a huge success if I look back at it hahhaaaa….
Changed back to blond pretty fast 🙂
In March I found a photography school and started taking lessons. So much fun and it’s rewarding practicing a semi new skill 🙂
Traveled to Japan for a wedding. I met Nick & Annie when living in Puerto Rico. It was one of the fanciest weddings I’ve been to 🙂
Stayed after the wedding in Japan visiting Kyoto and Hakone. Too crowded in Kyoto for my liking, but I can see the charm if you would visit when there are less tourists…
Really enjoyed Hakone. The hot spring spa and nature there…
I also booked a room at a love hotel in Tokyo and did a shoot, had some of the best sushi, a fun night at the Muscle girl bar and visited a pig cafe 🙂
One of the highlights this year was going back to Mycelia Retreat in Jamaica. Invited my writer/journalist friend Cyril from Sweden. It was my most powerful mushroom trip to this day and I went through every kind of emotion, but what a reset! I hope to revisit 2025…

In June I decided 3 years in Mexico was amazing but it’s time to go back to the US. Having a bit of a hoarder mentality it took some time to get rid of almost everything and it was hard to say goodbye to friends… Also spent the last 2 nights sleeping on the floor since I got rid of all the furniture hahahahaa… But I see a visit back in 2025 to visit them all again 🙂
Hunter got prepped with his papers and practiced going outside in his carrier and then his flight carrier. He was such a champ handling the whole trip from Mexico to Utah!
July was spent in Utah. I missed the nature and clean air while in Mexico so took full advantage of Utah…
Utah is where I first encountered pickleball and now I’m hooked!
Flew to Vegas and got my hands full with Tyler Faith. Maybe that’s when the idea of living in Vegas was born?
Also flew to Sweden for my yearly hike with my sister. Longest hike we’ve done so far, 7 days, 6 nights AND we made it up Kebnekaise. Definitely top 3 of 2024!!!
2 of my best friends had their 50th birthdays too which got celebrated!
In August I packed the car and moved to Vegas…
September was spent exploring what Vegas has to offer. Reunited with friends from back in the day, found great hikes, celebrated my birthday and a gym with pickleball! I’m loving it here and Hunter is very happy too as long as the neighbors cat Ocean keeps a paws distance 🙂
Finished off October with Halloween…
In November I had a looooot of shoots with fun people 🙂 Even made it out to LA, Nelson’s Ghost Town twice and got taped for the first time which was really cool…
Tried new hikes. Happy I have friends who enjoy hiking as much as I do 🙂
My sister came to visit and we did Vegas and LA. I love that I’m so close to my extended family and wifey Sandy now that I love in Vegas 🙂
And Masha from Russia paid a short visit too. Met her when I lived in Puerto Rico 🙂
Finally December and there was some christmas prepping to be done as yo can see in the previous posts so I’m not going to bore you with those pics again 🙂 My holidays were great. I got some relaxation in, I guess I’ve been pretty good since I got a lot of presents hehheeee… Hunter got presents too obviously and he is spoiled year around whether he behaves or. not hahhaaaa…
Everyone here recommended the show ‘Absinthe’ and I finally got to see it. Wow, it was so good! Funny, incredible acts and now I’m looking into taking lessons in roller skating because this couple looked so cool doing their act with roller skates. It was so fast paced and that they manages to stay on stage without just impressed the shit out of me! If you get the chance, see the show!
Did a mushroom trip and it was great 🙂
Didn’t have any plans for New Years Eve other than wanting some outdoor access. Went hiking with Angel and it was an easy hike and I always feel so good after being in nature!
Ordered lobster & crab nachos for dinner and watched the movie Small Engine Repair. It was pretty good 🙂
How were your Holidays? Any goals/plans for 2025? I’ still figuring mine out and fine tuning them. But some things I’ve been thinking about and on my bucket list are:
-visit Vietnam and Iceland
-try a new experience every month, like rollerblading, shows in Vegas, rage room, grow shrooms, race car driving, new recipes and the list goes on.
-having eyelid surgery
-yearly hike with my sister
-add more mindfulness into my life like yoga and meditation… So far I’ve done short meditations every day, but it’s haaaaard with my brain being all over the place hahhaaaa…
I’ll probably be adding to the list, but this is some of it 🙂
I hope your year has been off to a fabulous start! I’m off to LA next week for work and see to see my wifey Sandy 🙂
