Hello September <3

Finally the fall has arrived in Oslo. I actually love fall, even tho I felt summer this year never really started and went way too fast. One of the best things about Norway is the seasons. The landscape looks truly amazing during fall, especially in October month, with all the colors painted on the trees.
The air is getting crisper and the days shorter, but too many good series coming out and new dishes I am excited to experiment with.




Wish you all a great rest of the week. I have an exciting meeting coming up, and a really fun shoot this week. Was thinking about sharing how I prepare mentally and diet wise before a big shoot. Let me know here in a comment or in a DM if that’s something you would be interested in.

10 min healthy pancakes for the weekend brunch <3

As many of you probably know, I am completely obsessed with pancakes and waffles all year around. My grandparents just got me a new waffle maker for my new apartment, as my old one is still in NYC. I have been experimenting a ton with ‘‘how to make the quickest, tastiest, but also healthiest pancake recipe’’.
This is already a well known recipe, and you can see bloggers, models, and influencers posting it all over the world on TikTok and Instagram.
Here is my verson, it’s super easy, quick and cheap to make it!



What you need (1 pers)

2 eggs
1,5 dl oats
1/2 ts baking powder
1/2 banana
1 dl oat milk, or other milk
salt
cinnamon
blender or a hand-mixer





What you do

Start with having the liquid parts in the blender, then add the oats, the banana, and the spices.
Blend until smooth. Leve it for 5 min until you fry the pancakes in a pan with some coconut or other oil on high temperature. (Make sure the temp is high before you start the cooking)!


Topping:

Recently been addicted to this, I’m just adding some fresh raspberries to some diary free yogurt and mix it together with some sweetener, and use it as a ‘‘topping cream’’. I love to use some nut butter and some homemade granola on top of that as well. The more topping the better!


Right now I am using the nut butter from Bodylab.no. Top with whatever you love, the topping is what makes the pancakes in my opinion. And obviously a good cup of coffee, (iced for summer, hot for winter), would be a perfect combo with this.


Wish you all a great weekend, I am considering going away to the mountains for some hiking.
I am defiantly serving this for brunch in Norwegian landscape, surrounded by mountains and fresh Norwegian mountain air!

Raw food chocolate cake for beginners - step by step


Step by step easy beginner raw food chocolate cake recipe



What you need

Base:
3 large-sized dates
A little less than 6 cups of seeds (half pumpkin/ half sunflowers (1,5 dl)
6 cups oats (2 dl)
2 topped tbs raw cacao powder
2 tbs coconut oil
about 4 cups almond milk (1 dl)
vanilla extract
sea salt



mid layer:
3 dl (about 8 cups) overnight soaked cashew nuts
4 tbs Marple sirup
2 tbs squeezed lemon
1 tbs melted coconut oil
1 large tbs raw cacao powder
sea salt
vanilla extract


top layer:
2 large tbs coconut oil m
2 topped tbs cacao powder
4 tbs Marple sirup
vanilla extract
sea salt



What you do

Base -
As the cake got 3 steps, you need to take one step at the time.
At the first step, it is important that you slice the dates into smaller pieces before addinng them to the blender, or using the food processor. Always start with the liquid part, and then add the rest. Don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty, you can also use plastic gloves if you prefer keeping your hands clean. The texture is supposed to be pretty firm, as this is the base, but as it cools down it will set better.
Have the mixture into a cake shape and place it into your fridge, as you start on the second step of the cake,.


Mid layer -
The main ingredient in the mid-layer is the cashew nuts, Its important that you soak the nuts overnight, meaning adding them to a bowl of water, this makes the nuts softer and easier to work with like a cream base.
Again, start with the liquid parts to the blender, or food processor and add the nuts little by little as you blend together.
Have the mid-layer over the cake base, and place back to the fridge.


Top Layer -
My fave layer of the cake is the top layer! Start with melting the coconut oil, mix in the marple syrup, and the rest of the ingredients. Have the topping over the cake and make sure to get it all spread out to the edges of the cake as well. For coffee lovers, you can add a tbs off espresso coffee.


You can leave the cake simple like that or top it with some seasonal fruits, some shredded coconut, or nuts.
Leave the cake in your fridge, It lasts for at least a week and is perfect as an everyday dessert or as a small bite to your coffee break.



I hope you like it.

Down by the water

Bright evenings, after long days in the sun, swimming in the ocean and eating fresh seafood.
Life is pretty good these days. I enjoy this year’s summer vacation with family and working in between. In a few days I am heading to meet some of my best friends for a little mini-vacay in another beautiful part of Norway, not too close from here., called Sandefjord When I finally start settling in, it’s kinda hard for me to move. Finally, I’m getting into a real vacay mood and even started reading a new book, Wich I feel like I never make time for!




Norwegian summers are not fully like the French Rivera, with glam, heels, and glitter. Even tho I like to dress up sometimes, In Norway, it is much more chill. Warm sweaters for he evenings and even jackets are a must. Denim shorts is another must for Scandinavian summers. And as its usually pretty windy, a lot of the times, I love to braid my hair. I have done that since I was a little girl every summer, as my family used to sail for a month straight. My mom figured it was easier for her just braiding me and my sister, so the hair didn’t get too messy every single day. My mom teached me how to braid cornrows on my sister from a young age, and I’m completely obsessed about braiding still. I really love that this trend comes back every other summer. Small details like braids, or plain off-white bra under a basic linen shirt, are little things that make the outfit pop a little more. Uggs or boots are also great options for windy summer nights.




Enjoy the rest of July month everyone. <3

Summer Dr.jpg





Hei alle sammen. Håper folk flest nyter sommeren, på tross av noen dager med dårlig vær. Selv har jeg sittet med hjemme kontor og prøver å bruke regnværsdagene produktivt til å få unna ‘‘inne jobben’’, før jeg planlegger en liten tur på Sørlandet. 



Det er alltid ett evig spørsmål hva man skal prioritere å ha med seg i ferie baggen av sminke, hud, - og hårprodukter. Noe av luksusen med ferie er jo nettopp å kunne kose seg ekstra lenge på badet med deilige produkter og føle at man gir huden og kroppen det lille ekstra! 



Jeg har i flere år brukt hud produktene til Dr Schrammek. Og er avhengi av å ha dem med meg på ferie. Heldigvis lager de alle mine favoritt produkter superpraktiske reisestørrelser til ferie turen. 
Jeg prøver alltid å pakke smart med reisestørrelser og la de store flaskene bli hjemme. Tar liten plass og er også en perfekt måte å teste ut nye produkter på for de som ønsker det!
 

Du kan kjøpe 2 valgfrie reisestørrelser, og få en gratis Herbal Care Lotion 50 ml! 

HERBAL CARE LOTION 50ml - perfekt til fet og kombinert hud og likeså til normal til tørr hud




Personlig elsker jeg, ‘‘
Black Clearing Mask’’ som kommer i en 15 ml forpakkning. Perfekt en gang i uken å få renset porene, etter mye solkrem, osv.


Special Regulating Cream 15 ml er en hverdags favoritt, som jeg bruker natt og dag stort sett hele året, perfekt for meg som kan ha nokså hormonell hud, spesielt en gang i mnd. 


Blemish Balmen, bruker jeg hver eneste dag. Det er en behandlende foundation som jeg påfører over Special Regulating Cream. Blemish Balm gir huden en flott glød og holder urenhetene mine i sjakk samtidig som den dekker naturlig ujevnheter. Denne kremen er også sterkt beroligende og brukes alltid etter Green Peel behandlinger. Også fin på solbrent hud om sommeren og ikke minst på insektsstikk.Den kommer også i en 15 ml forpakning.

If you could go anywhere you want right now, where would it be?

Where would you travel in the world if you could go anywhere you want right now?
Looking back on my latest travels and feel so grateful for everything I have seen, people I have got to know and learned from. Cultures I have got to experience, and food I have got to try around the world. I love this quote listed under, by Anthony Bourdain. I truly believe travel is the best way of learning and growing as a person.


“If you are thirty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn to be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and cook. learn from them – wherever you go.” 

— Anthony Bourdain


Spending my Sunday inside, doing some work from my laptop, planning my new week, and cleaning the apartment. Happy Sunday everyone!

I can not wait for the weekend to begin! The weeks during summer flies away, way too fast.
I wish the summer here in Norway lasted much longer. I am trying to appreciate this weather as much as I can. I still haven’t signed up on any gym in Oslo, so these days I am taking advantage of all the outdoor activities like biking, swimming and running outside.



Tomorrow (Saturday) we are celebrating my dear girlfriend Rikke’s birthday. All the girls are getting together for a brunch in sunny Oslo! I can’t wait to dress up and see all my girlfriends again.

Outdoor season rock -reklame

I hope you all enjoy the summer days (and nights) these days. The best thing about the Scandinavian summer is being able to be outdoor and bring the gym outside in the sun. The last thing I want to do right now, is to be inside in a dark gym. Whenever if I go threw something in life, nature is my best medicine.
There is something magical about seeing the flowers blooming and the hearing the birds who are singing.



I have been so lucky to partner up with Stronger.se, and love this new seamless workout set, in my favorite color -army green. Sumer comfy and stretchy. Sometimes its hard to motivate ourself to get up from the couch, but easier if you have something cool and comfy to wear in my opinion!

Red for summer <3

I hope everyone enjoys these summer days, and nights as much as I do. It has been heat-wave days here in Oslo, Norway. Almost too hot to wear anything else than a bikini outside! This week it supposes to cool down a little, which is great. Even tho I am pretty used to the heat, after living in both Florida and California, it is quite different, as people in Norway don’t have airconditioning. I got myself a fan and taking hot showers in between. Grateful for the beautiful weather tho! I love to be able to swim in the ocean every day and do outdoor activities.




Wish you all a good start of the new week. I’m heading to South Norway this week can’t wait for some real quality time with some of my fave peeps!



Adding with some pictures of one of my latest favorites in my wardrobe. I’m obsessed with this red color on tanned skin, love to style it with a mix of gold jewelry for a simple everyday look, or over a fancier dress for a night out.

Last weeks highlights

Love these summer days in Oslo, everyone gets so spontaneous and adventurous. It’s easy to be social and people seem to really enjoy the good weather. My week started off a bit slow with home office work, from Wednesday early am to Thursday late night I worked on a shoot with a big team at a beautiful place just an hour away from Oslo, called Kleivstova. It was really long days, and super hot, especially because we were shooting winter clothes, with heavy boots and warm gear, but we all kept each other motivated and people were in such a good mood. If anyone visits Oslo and wanna see some beautiful landscape, close to the city, I recommend checking out this hotel. The food was great too, and the staff was super friendly. They made sure we had food at all times, even tho the vegan options wase’t the best.




The rest of the week has been packed with meetings and things to catch up on. Been going to the beach and boating after work hours for a swim, taking advantage of being a freelancer, and having the privilege to schedule my own days!
Saturday night I had some friends over for some drinks at my place, before we headed together to one of my old friend’s event at ‘‘Taket paå Steen og Strøm’’. Such good music and awesome vibes. So much fun catching up with old friends again, and as everything closes super early we decided to hang out at a friend’s place at Bygdøy for an after-party. Stayed up all night and some people even went for a midnight swim. That’s really the best thing about Scandinavian summer, it never gets dark. Really mindfuck, as your brain never wants to go to sleep.




Wish you all a great week.

Ta vare på huden i sommer - 3 step Body Home Spa kit fra Dr. Schrammek

Annonse - Dr Schrammek

Om sommeren er det ekstra viktig å ta godt vare på huden, etter en lang vinter hvor vi nordmenn ikke har sett snurten av solen, er ikke huden vant med sterk sol. Derfor er det ekstra viktig at vi først og fremst smører oss godt med solkrem, men også at vi gjør en god prep før vi legger oss ut i varmen å steker. Personelig, bruker jeg bruker alltid faktor 50, spesielt i ansiktet er det ekstra viktig med høy faktor. Jeg prøver også å unngå overeksponering av sol, og spesielt midt på dagen, når solen er på det sterkeste.




Med det nye 3 step Body Home Spa kitten til Dr Schrammek får jeg den beste spa følelsen i hjemmet, og legger ett godt grunnlag for at brunfargen skal sette seg dypere, men også vare lenger. Produktene er enkle å bruke og etterlater en myk og oppstrammet hud.



Step 1: Super Body Peeling.
- Fjerner døde hudceller

Kombinasjonen av mekanisk og biologisk peeling sørger for effektiv reduksjon av døde hudceller og tørr hud. Påfølgende aktive ingredienser penetrerer bedre. Unikt for akkurat denne peelingen er at den også er revitaliserende og fettforbrennende.
Peelingen kan også brukes helt uhavengi av de andre produktene.
- Jeg bruker peelingen som anbefalt, 2-3 ganger i uken. Den påføres tørr/ lett fuktet hud, skylles bort med vann.




Step 2: Cellucontour Body Cream
- Fettforbrennende og oppstrammende

Spesielprodukt for reduksjon av cellulitter og fettansamlinger. Stimulerer de naturlige detox prosessene i underhuden, og aktiverer reduksjon av vann og fett i problemområdene.
- Jeg masserer denne godt inn i huden med massasje applikatoren på problemområdene, morgen og kveld.




Step 3: Shape Perfection Body Oil
- Sirkulasjonsøkende og fuktighetsgivende

Mykgjørende og svært sirkulasjonsøkende kroppsolje for mage, rumpe, lår og armer. Eksklusive planteoljer sørger for økt spenst og elastitet i huden. Chilli og sennepspirer stimulerer blodsirkulasjonen kraftig og øker cellenmetabolismen. Blod -og lymfesirkulasjon forberedes og opphopning av væske i fettvevet reduseres.
- Jeg bruker denne oljen, morgen og kveld og spesielt etter cellucontour applikatoren, for en ekstra oppstrammende effekt,. Oljen virker også veldig bra etter soling, for å trekke brunfargen enda bedre inn i huden.




Ha en nydelig juni måned alle sammen, og ta godt vare på hverandre og huden i sommer!


Beste hilsner, Eline Syrdalen.
