Hey you, listen carefully hun: Snap out of hibernation Folks! Sure, it might be the season’s last snow today, but make no mistake – spring has officially sprung in Södermalm.

This burst of spring vibes? It’s like a jolt of caffeine straight to the soul. We’re feeling it big time in the studio and it’s tangible out on the streets. Oh how we love to see those sunglasses being dusted off, and flash some of those quirky legendary spring-is-back-smiles.

And in the studio? It’s all systems go. Here’s the headline – we’re finally building that new toilet! This Friday, Jos & Bella are swapping yoga mats for tool belts. Fingers crossed, by next week, waiting for the loo will be old news.

Not jazzed about toilet talk? Cool, cool. Scroll down for a lineup with a wild range between yoni eggs, nervous system and Retreats that are actually exciting.
