Today getting a massage is often considered to be a thing of luxury, something to treat yourself with once in a while, centuries ago this was not the case. Take ancient Rome as an example, who built several public baths to improve general health of their citizens by using water therapy and massage. Hopefully these…
Set in one of the oldest parts of Gothenburg city, surrounded by bustling charming cafes and cute shops you’ll find ever so popular Hagabadet. What really intrigues me about this spa is its history, and the fact that it was actually built back in the 1800th century. No surprise perhaps, but I have been wanting…
This Spring I was lucky enough to go on a business trip to Milan with one of my clients. Our days were packed with different fair stations, as we were attending the enormous Salone Del Mobile, meaning inspiration and creativity wherever we turned – not to mention the best lunches with authentic delicious Italian food….

Shovelling snow is not exactly my favorite activity .. and definatley not when my car is stuck and I’m not getting anywhere. I have to admit that having a cool swim was exactly what I needed. I got the car out…
If there is anything I just can’t get enough of it’s steam. I simply love the feeling of lying down in a steam room and feeling the sweat run all over my body. I therefore don’t think it is surprising that steam has been used for many centuries for several medical and beauty purposes. Steam…
