Preparing as much as I possible can for the loooong tour we’re soon about to start. I realized that I was out of my favorite makeup and that I had to order more. I tried this specific brand for the first time during the recording of The Nexus music video, and I got amazed. I ordered a package online as soon as I got back home and I’ve used it every day since. Today I received my second Deluxe package from Sheer Cover Studios. I use makeup mostly on stage, and since I’m on stage almost everyday on tour It’s important for me to use something that’s good, and not harms the skin. Most women probably understands why I use makeup, but to you men I can explain it like this. I don’t have a beard to hide behind, haha! Kidding, the truth is that men also uses makeup in music videos, Television, photo shoots and sometimes also on stage, to cover up redness, pimples and other things you don’t feel comfortable showing in public. 😉 The best makeup is makeup that creates a natural look.
I have tried many different brands and usually they sweat of easy, mascara falls down and leaves a black shade under the eyes, and most foundations just doesn’t covers enough. Also most makeup makes your skin look dry, or fat, and the chemicals most manufacturers put in their products covers the pours completely. It means that the pours can’t breath and dirt that’s supposed to come out there gets stuck Inside the skin. In the long run that makes your skin age faster. I can really recommend Sheer Cover to everyone, I use it also in my everyday life. I’m very impressed by the quality and I’m very happy I found something that I can recommend to my friends. You can read more about it online, I’m pretty sure they ship worldwide. Good luck! 😉
Sunday shopping!
Today I had a day off in Gothenburg. I went on a very successful shopping round in the big city. I can confess that I usually don’t have time to go shopping, and where I live the stores are closed at Sundays. If your interested I will tell you what I bought. I
found a cosy sweater at Femmedesign, and shoes at Bianco (probably I will use them on stage this weekend). Love them! Also I found a pair of flip flops at a health store here in Sweden called Life, they massages your feet while you walk, incredible! 😀 I’m gonna wear them on every tour from now on. 😉 Actually I bought two, one pair in red and one in black. I also bought body lotion and hand cream from Utekram, it’s a great brand who only uses natural ingredients. Not tested on animals, vegan, 100% biological products. I have used their products for a while now and I really recommend it. The soap, shampoo, balm and shower gel is fantastic as well. Also another favorite product is Sheer Cover, I found it at Hälsokraft. I use it normally to cover small scars, it works great on stage as well. 😉 If you like I’m glad to give you some other recommendations on clothes, accessories and beauty products that I like. 🙂 Tomorrow I will travel back home to make some vocal recordings (Amaranthe bonus tracks). Then we’re off towards Finlandi!
High season has begun!
We’re back! After some time in the studio, and some days vacation we just started our Non Stop World Wide Tour, begun with supporting Sabaton in Stenungsund, Sweden, then Varberg (see photo). Great weather, and great audience, I feel so happy! 🙂
We will continue with shows every weekend the rest of the summer, then we will travel to USA together with Within Temptation and then we play a headline show in Mexico, then Loud Park in Japan on my 30:th birthday!! Then back to the U.S, and so it continues…. You can follow my journey here on the blog, and on Instagram or Facebook.
I hope you all had a wonderful summer so far! See you! ❤️:)
Thank you mama!
This Midsummer I got the honor to spend 3 awesome days with my mom. Because of my job we don’t get the chance to meet very often. So when it happens it makes me very happy! I
feel complete with her around me. Thanks to my mom I am alive. My mom made me love music. My mom told me to always follow my dreams. My mom taught me to be strong. Thanks mom for everything you’ve done for me. I love you!
Kamelot to Sweden!

Avenged Sevenfold, Amaranthe + Dead By April –
Scandinavium 2014-06-24.
Spa sunday maybay
I love Spa’s, I need one now, it makes me relaxed when I feel stressed, like I do now. I have a extra job at the moment, at the same time as I work on the last Amaranthe songs, I also work with Memorial for a Wish, my own future project and in general thinking about everything I want to do before i Die. Chaos in my head… I need to relax, maybe I will visit the Spa later but first I will eat a big Brunch! 😛
Me and my friend Linda Dahlberg in Stockholm. <3
”Memorial for a Wish”
I hope you all doing good and that you had a great weekend, and still have! Yesterday I recorded a song for a new project I will participate in. It’s the second part of a Rock/Metal Musical called “Memorial for a Wish” written by Andreas Nergård. I sing duet with the Swedish singer Andi Kravljaca. The first album was released in April last year and featured Göran Edman, Åge Sten Nilsen, Ralf Scheepers, Andi Kravljaca ++
Tonight I will stay indoor, drink some green tee from Japan and watch Tv. I wish you all a smooth Saturday! 😉
Easter
Easter was a dramatic weekend, at least for Jesus, and me. It was also very positive and happy, for both Jesus and me. Crucified and then back to life… 🙂 Haha. Ok, I can tell you that this discussion have brought me and some of you out there something good. Actually I’ve never received so many emails like this weekend. Messages from people telling me their story’s about internet bully. And as you can see there are many more against than for… I realized that this type of person is 99% men, they are 99% very young, 99% of them have no friends, or friends they are trying to be cool in front of. Reading comments on blabbermouth make me realize there are no Einstein’s precisely, I would
dare to say that I don’t think one single person there are highly educated important men, or woman. I hope you all had a happy easter! I’ve been having friends over for dinner, partying, eating Easter dinner at my friends place and enjoying the lovely weather this weekend. Now it’s time to get back to the almost average life of mine. Workout and music. Take Care everyone! Greetings from sunny sweden!
Glöm inte igelkottarna ikväll!
Nu skriver jag på svenska för att Valborg ju är en svensk högtid. 🙂 Igelkottarna älskar att ligga och gosa i majbrasor. Tyvärr vet dom inte om att vi snart kommer att sätta eld på deras nya mysiga hem. Via länken kan ni läsa hur man räddar dessa små utrotningshotade liv.
Glad Valborg. Puss å hej!

Blabbermouth
Bla bla bla… http://www.blabbermouth.net/news/amaranthe-singer-elize-ryd-slams-internet-haters-its-a-shame-how-low-some-people-can-go/
Obviously some people commenting on Blabbermouth doesn’t get the point. See this and face the truth. Discover empathy and Sexism. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexism

I really recommend you to read about it if you haven’t heard about it before.
A brand new day!
To all the people and all the GIRLS out their who need support. I brought up this subject to support you. To make you know your not alone.
Woke up to a brand new day today with new thoughts and new emotions. I still believe that the subject we talked about yesterday is important. When I was a kid and a teenager I never used internet. I didn’t even own a cellphone until I was like 16, haha, no I don’t remember exactly. But my god, I can’t imagine what it would be like, and what would have happened to me if I grew up these days, in this cyber/net environment. I just wish and hope that everyone out there who gets treated bad and bully by trolls, or maybe even people they know, that please don’t let them get you. You are not alone, ok! I’ve actually stopped reading comments on YouTube a loooong time ago because I don’t find it intelligent or stimulating to read crap. It’s sad though cause I also miss out on lots of positive comments. Yesterday someone created what was of course a fake account, liked my FB page only to be able to ruin my day. I want to thank EVERYONE who wrote me back, both here and on my Facebook, thanks for your support. I feel so relieved to know that we stand in this together. Amazing feeling to know that we’re all on the same page. At first I felt it be embarrassing to let you know what that person wrote me, it’s very common that you feel shame, that you don’t want to talk about it, keep it inside. I don’t like that feeling, and I know it’s wrong. So, towards Blåkulla, away with the shame, back again with happiness and strength! 🙂 I’m so glad I got you! And whenever you need me I will be here for you. ❤️ Happy Easter!
Internet hate!
I just wrote in my previous post that I love people. BUT I got a reminder today… Sometimes when I wake up in the morning some idiotic, sexistic “hater” have written really bad and disrespectful things on my official Facebook page. Mostly men… I do not in the world understand why?? There must be so many other things and people to hate out there. You have rapists, murderers, those who bully other people (like I experience once in a while), people who abuses children and animals… Cancer!! Do I need to continue?
It’s an ever lasting question to me why some people loves to write fucked up comments to someone they actually don’t even know. One thing they usually have in common is that they are sick or jealous. Actually I know Amaranthe’s and my fans out there are amazing people. I been touring over 4 years and got the honor to meet the most fantastic people, you know who you are and you know I love you. We, like most people on earth, share the same thoughts and have the same sight on life, I’m very glad because of that. If you feel that you are not one of those people, please just leave us alone and learn to shut the fuck up! Is it so hard, really?
Please if you notice that someone around you writes bad stuff to another on the internet, remind them to think twice before posting it. And to those who are internet-haters, it is a crime in Sweden. Ok, I don’t get many stupid comments on my fb, they pop up maybe once every year. But this kind of comments doesn’t only effect me. This guy do obviously have a really bad sight on women. All I can say to you ”Fito” is …… I think what you wrote and how you react towards me and the band is sad, weak and extremely pathetic. Most of the things people write (like you did) are words you probably would not be cool enough to tell to my face. I hope you are happy now that I gave you some extra attention.
It’s a shame how low some people can go…
The most important for me right now is to do my best to STOP this kind of stupidity. It makes a lot of people very hurt, and depressed, nobody deserves to read shit like this. I have to post this so that at least I show that it happens to me, and that I don’t think it’s OK!!! So just stop Internet bullying people and STOP insulting woman. To many have already got seriously damaged and even committed suicide (mostly young women/girls) because of this phenomena ”Internet hate”. I’m 100% against both Cyber bullying and Women’s Oppression. We need to say NO as soon as we notice there are people out there continuing feeding it.
Home sweet home
I posted this picture on my insta and Facebook yesterday. Right now I’m in a classical small Swedish village, it’s very well known for it’s Dalahästar, hard bread and Midsummer (maypoles like on the picture). I love this village, it looks the same as it did 1000 years ago. Our apartment is based in one of the oldest buildings, in the “city”. I can see the beautiful sea from the window. We have an open fireplace inside that I love, especially in the winter, and right underneath us is a clothing store where I work a little extra when the boss needs my help. As you might have noticed I love people, and clothes, so to be in the store is very fun for a change. I worked as a waitress a couple of years. One summer I worked selling ice cream and I gained 10 kilos because I
“tasted” the ice cream every day.. haha. During high school I worked as a cleaner and Operator-Assisted Calls, so I would confess I’m pretty good at service minded jobs. 😉 Do you need me for a job I can clean your house, sell your clothes, serve you dinner and answer your phone! ;D Hehe, I’m a workaholic I know. I just came back from a busy tour and all I can think of is ‘give me a job’!! Tomorrow I’m going to the gym for the third day in row, feels nice. Now I will try to get some sleep. Good Night, sweet dreams.
U.S Tour with Within Temptation Announced!
In the fall Amaranthe goes on a guest tour with Within Temptation!!
Last show outside Paris
Nottingham
We had a day off in Nottingham before show day, so first I went to the gym with the Smash guys, then we had dinner and then we visited the cinema looking at Noah. I really liked the movie, especially the message. It was sad and emotional
to me. The show was great, I loved the audience. Wish to come back soon. Oh by the way Fredrik made a tattoo and I bought a wig! XD
Wolverhampton
Got a guest in the bus today! Always nice with some new blood around. 😉 I woke up at 6 in the evening. Had to stay awake all night because of the boarder and the fairy. I stayed awake watching the sunrise over England, it was very beautiful. Later in the evening we went out and looked at a band playing. The day after I went out shopping, fantastic city, I bought some clothes and then I had the biggest dinner so far, all by my self. The show went great, always so great to see so many people on before undiscovered soil.
Day off in Calais
We stopped by in Calais on our way from Germany back to England. Our plan was to stay at the beach, but when we arrived it was rain and thunder. It stopped rain in the afternoon so I went out and took some pictures after having dinner with the boys, and the bus drivers girlfriend. 🙂 I can imagine how nice it must be in Calais a sunny summer day on this beach. Still very beautiful after a rainy day in April.
