Do the Rain Dance!

It has not rained in such a long time that the water reserves are minimum.

They have been talking about water restrictions if it doesn't start raining soon.

Let us hope it will start raining soon!!! In the meantime maybe you could join me all and do the Rain Dance!


Take a look at this cute video to get the right moves:



Barcelona is just as beautiful when it is raining and it is a perfect moment to visit one of the many museums the city offers. One of my favorites is "Fundació Joan Miró" up on Montjuïc. www.bcn.fjmiro.cat



The architecture of the building is fantastic and the light is amazing. It is a true pleasure stralling around the rooms filled with artwork. The diversity of materials, forms and colours are infinite. The perfect place to get inspiration...!

Sun inspiration?



Yesterday the sun was shining, it was very warm and we spent the day on the beach.

That is the best thing about living in Barcelona - eventhough you are in the middle of a Metropolis you reach the beach in a moment.

I am not sure if it was the heat from the sun that arouse my inspiration but yesterday I created several new designs in my head.

Keep you eyes open for new collections - they will be posted on the blog when launched.

I love competitions, and if they are creative even better.

At age 10 I won a drawing competition - the prize was great!!! 10 liters (about 350 fl oz) of icecream!

The other week I found a t-shirt competition on the green web page http://www.mandacaru.es/

So I sat down and created a design for the occasion. I named it "100%organic".

It has been chosen for the final out of more than 500 designs. :)

'Jazz for Kids' designs


If you by any chance are hanging around in Stockholm - Sweden, not knowing what to do I recommend you to visit the Swedish Jazz Celebration.




The Jazz band 'Upstairs Five' with Johan Berke are offering an interactive experience for kids at the 'Jazz for Kids' festival.


The band plays 7 different instruments. Each instrument represents a color (guitarr = blue, tuba and trombone = red, bass = green, soprano and alto saxophone = yellow, and drums = black).


5 designs, created by ego collection, will be shown on stage to show the children what color represents what instrument.


The children will be offered paper and colors to be able to participate and paint the music they want to hear. The band will then select about 3 paintings and play the music the children has painted.


I absolutely love this creative way of introducing kids to the jazz world and am very proud to be able to participate.


You can also visit the shop and check out our little stand where we exhibit t-shirts and paintings.
