Collagen

As you might know Japan is number one in skincare, that might be one of the reasons Japanese women stay very young for a very long time. And collagen is one of the reasons! Collagen is a protein that exists in our skin, bones etc. and actually one third of the proteins in our body is collagen. Collagen binds water and keeps the skin young, in Japan it‘s everywhere, in skin products and even food. When I came to Japan my skin started going crazy because of all the pollution and the lack of water so Pia told me to try collagen and so I did and it really helps, my skin is becoming beautiful! Pia also told me that believing in it is half the thing…I believe in it and I‘m wearing a collagen mask right now!
My four day weekend has been busy and fun. Yesterday I went to Swedish Style and met many Swedes and their Japanese fans. Swedish style is on for about three weeks so we’ll be joining them soon again. It’s very strange how I in Sweden sometimes feel that I’m not Swedish but when I’m here I’m representing Sweden, I feel more Swedish here than I do in Sweden. Pia and me are representing Sweden: Blatte-power! But we are the new generation of Swedes, aren’t we?
Today I went to the Waseda sai (festival) and it was fun. Kai took me to watch some guys dressed as sumo and they put on a great show. Japanese people are great at entertainment. The festival had everything from male cheerleaders to porn stars. Crazy.
Right now I’m watching a show about a Japanese guy in Scandinavia, he’s in Norrland visiting the Swedish samer. They’re speaking Swedish and Japanese, cool.
Now, I’m going to bed. Oyasuminasai!
