Wooden buildings often aren’t arbitrarily red.

Falu red (pronounced “FAH-loo”, in Swedish it’s Falu rödfärg) is the name of a Swedish, deep red paint well known for its use on wooden cottages and barns for preservation. The paint originated from the copper mine at Falun in Dalarna, Sweden and consists of water, rye flour, linseed oil and tailings from the copper mines of Falun which contain silicates iron oxides, copper compounds and zinc. Falu red is still widely used in the Swedish countryside.

Dröm en liten dröm…

Hello, everyone! 

I hope you are all doing well and making some great plans for this coming summer!  I just wanted to write to let you all know that I won’t be posting on this blog as often as I used to, but that I have not disappeared!  You can still find me posting daily at:

If you just started following this blog in hopes of finding some great veg resources, then I suggest you take a look at my other blog, instead.  This one’s still all about Sweden, Baby! ;).

It’s a GORGEOUS day here in Halmstad, and the weather is finally getting warm; you can see the fresh buds on the trees and happy little flowers just bursting with excitement over all of this sunshine!  All the people here, in true Swedish fashion, are spending every possible moment outdoors soaking up the rays, and I’m feeling inclined to join them! :)

There have been lots of changes in my life lately, so I thank you for your support and all of the follows.  I continue to enjoy following many of you, and wish you all the best with your future Tumbling! 

Lots of smiles,

Swanadianme / eatconsciouslylivekindly <3

“What’s wrong with what we eat”

Mark Bittman for TED, ideas worth spreading

 —-> Eat less animal products, less junk food and more plants.

YES!  Although this is not Sweden-related, it is something that should be considered by all of us regardless of nationality.  Eat more plants; it has much wider implications that just the ideas of health, kindness, or the environment by themselves…it’s all of them, plus common sense!  I hope you’ll take the time to keep an open mind and watch this.

Keep smiling!

Fika in Sweden

When it comes to life in Sweden, this couldn’t be more true.  I only wish that people were a little more health-minded when it comes to the constant snacks and “naughty” food.  But c’est la vie!
