What I'm missing the most right now

How are you all holding on during these times? At this point, i’m considering flying back to Europe. The situation here in LA got so bad, and I have no life here anymore. When they closed all the trails, was when I really felt my freedom was taken away from me. Hiking in nature is my favorite thing to do when in LA.
All trails and beaches are closed here now. For those staying in houses, you can still use your garden, but for those of us staying in apt its not the same. Also, the government has ordered everyone to stay inside. At least I have a safe place to stay, which I am thankful for, but have to admit this is a mental challenge.



These pictures were taken about a month ago when my mom visited me from Norway.
I hope you are all safe. This is definitely the first thing I’m doing whenever this ends.



Best, Eline S.

Cabin Lyfe in South Norway

Reklame

Most people would probably not believe me at first, but I love spending time alone, in nature, getting dirty and sweaty. Preferably not shower in a few days and just swim in the ocean. This makes me feel connected, alive and back to my roots. I appreciate home more then I have ever done before. Maybe gratitude comes with age, or just the fact that being able to miss things you might take for granted, make you more grateful in general. For me spending time in nature is the best way to connect and charge up my batteries.

I am feeling energized after spending some time in South Norway again.
Hope you all have a lovely summer and take some time to do the things you love!


All best, Eline S.

Edition Hotel Times Square Opening and weekend vibes in NYC

Håper alle har kost seg i helgen. 


NYC er som vanlig busy og det skjer mye her om dagen, så selv om jeg har blitt forkjølet, har jeg  ikke hatt tid til å være syk nå! Lørdagen tilbragte jeg med en svensk venninne som er i NYC. Vi trente sammen, skravlet hull i hodet på hverandre og catchet opp om alt og ingenting. 


Ebony er svensk og en av mine aller nærmeste modell kollegaer. Vi er veldig like på mange måter. Hun er en skikkelig stå på jente med bein i nesa. Jeg kjenner få som jobber så hardt og som er så positiv som henne. Jenter som henne inspirerer meg til å bli bedre! 


Lørdagen var vi invitert på åpningen av det nye Edition Hotel, på Times Square. En herlig middag, etterfulgt av ett spektakulært danse show. Hotellet var utrolig lekkert, maten var god og showet var sinnsykt imponerende. - Gåsehud! Det ble en tidlig kveld på oss, ettersom vi begge måtte være opplagte til søndagen. 


Søndag morgen sto jeg tidlig opp, lagde meg en havregrøt og en stor kopp med deilig kaffe. Søndag er egentlig min favoritt dag; ikke gjøre noe som helst. Men når man jobber freelance har man ikke alltid muligheten til å ta fri på søndager. Jeg hadde en fitting/prep for en hår kampanje jeg har booket her i NYC som jeg hadde call time til klokken 12:00. Dette skulle egentlig bare ta 2 timer, men endte opp med å bruke hele søndagen. Heldigvis lot de meg beholde min naturlige hårfarge, takk gud! 


Jeg pleier egentlig å si nei til hårjobber, fordi de ofte ødelegger håret veldig. I og med at jeg er naturlig blond, er jeg alltid redd for at noen skal messe opp fargen min. Resultatet ble en shine shampoo og en blåshampoo, kun for å tone ned gultonene litt i håret. Også en lett trim. Jobben er ikke før om en uke, så det blir spennende. Jeg skrev under på en kontrakt om at de sto fritt til å redigere hårfargen min på selve bildet. -Tenk at de faktisk gjør det! Det er faktisk ofte sånn det er på jobb. Sist gang jeg gjorde en stor hår kampanje, brukte de ikke engang produktet de reklamerte for.. I tillegg hadde jeg håret fullt av extentions.. Så folkens, pictures do lie!

Ønsker dere alle en fin ny uke og god
Påske!

Hope everyone had an awesome weekend!


I got a cold, but dont really have time to take it easy. It so much going on right now, so no time for being sick. I spent Saturday with my Swedish girlfriend who is in NYC right now. We worked out together, talked the shit out of each other, and watched up on all and nothing.


Ebony Anderberg is one of my closest friends from the industry. We are the same kind of people in many ways. She is a hard working girl, who knows where she is standing. . I honestly don’t know many people who works as hard as she does. She is always positive. Girls like her inspire me to be better!


On Saturday we were invited to the opening of the new Edition hotel at Times Square. An amazing dinner, followed up with a spectacular show. The hotel was really elegant, the food was delicious and the show was beyond impressing. - Goodbums material.
We had an early night, because w both had work to do on Sunday.


Sunday morning, I got up aroound 10. Made myself an oatmeal and a big cup of fresh coffee. Sundays are ususally my favorite day to do nothing at all. But everyone who works as a freelance knows you dont always have a normal weekend. I had a fitting/prep for a hair campaign I have booked here in NYC. My call time was at 12, and it was suppose to be done in 2 hours. That didn’t happen, I ended up spending my entire day in that hair salon. Thank god they didn’t change my hair colour!


I usually say no to do hair jobs, because it damage the hair so much. Also because i’m natural blonde, im always afraid if it will mess up my natural color. The result was a shine shampoo, and a blue shampoo to cool down the yellow tone in my hair. Also a light trim. The job is not before next week, but im excited.


I just signed a contract saying they are allowed to retouch my hair colour in the acuall picture. -Imagine they do that! Its actually pretty often they do that on a shoot. Last time I did a hair campaign, the client didn’t even use their own product. And on top of that, my own hair was full of extensions.. So folks, pictures do lie!

Have a good start of the week and a happy easter!

Orlando- TV-commerical and Touristing

De siste par dagene har vært travle her i Florida, men jeg bestemte meg for å gjøre en tur ut av jobbreisen og booket inn en natt ekstra. Vanligvis er jeg så sliten etter en shoot at jeg pleier å reise rett hjem, men jeg angrer alltid etterpå. 

En god venn av meg bor i Orlando og tilba seg å hente meg på flyplassen for å være turistguide for en dag. Det er faktisk en av de fineste tingene etter så mange år med modelljobbing - jeg har venner over hele verden, og det er jo faktisk veldig kult!

Vi bestemte oss for å utforske byen på sykkel. Først syklet vi inn til Orlando by før vi dro videre til Downtown og ruslet rundt i farmers market. En av de beste tingene jeg vet med USA er at de arrangerer markeder, og i Orlando holdes det hver helg. Markedet hadde alt fra kunst og forskjellige smakstilsatte popcorn, til nylagde acai bowls og juicer. Vi endte opp med å sykle 20 km den dagen, og jeg synes det er veldig deilig å oppleve en by på den måten for det slår aldri feil å være aktiv utendørs. 

Orlando var generelt en ganske kul by og det er kun 4,5 timer med bil eller 1 time med fly fra Miami. Jeg anbefaler derfor å ta turen til Orlando hvis man først er i Miami. Byen har mange pene innsjøer og hyggelige mennesker, men maten var midt på treet og kan ikke måles med Miami etter min mening. 

Selve jobben var superenkel! Jeg var booket for en hele dag, men kunden fikk det de trengte veldig raskt og vi var ferdig allerede kl 14. Vi filmet en TV reklame som skal vises på flere kanaler her i USA, men jeg får egentlig ikke lov til å vise noen BTS (bak kamera bilder), før reklamen er ute. 

Nå er jeg tilbake i Miami og har en ny shoot i morgen. Jeg er sliten etter mye reising og jobb denne uken, og skal nå krype til køys.

Snakkes snart, E! :)  


I decided making a trip out of my job in Orlando and stay for an extra day. 
Often when I go somewhere for work, Im too exhausted to see or do anything after the shoot, but always regret it. 
One of my good friends live out there and offered to pick me up at the AirPort and be my tourist guide for a full day! That is really one of the nice things about so many year of modeling. I really do have friends all over the world, wich is pretty damn cool!

We decided to do the touristing by bike. We biked into the City of Orlando and futher downtown where we parked our bikes and went walking around farmers market to pick up some fresh fruits and iced coffee. There is a huge farmers market downtown Orlando, every weekend. This is really one of my favorite things to do in any new city in the states. They got everything from art to different flavored popcorn, to fresh made açaí bowls and juices. We ended up biking 20km that day, gotta love being active outdoors and explore new places!

Orlando was overall a cool city. Only 4,5 hours by car, and 1h by plane, so probably worth a visit if you are already in Miami. So mang pretty Lakes everywhere and people were super friendly. The food was so/so- typical American. Not even close to Miami level - in my opinion.

My work day, the next day was super easy. Was booked for a full day, but they got what they needed from me behind the lence pretty fast. So I was done already around 2pm. 
We were filming a commercial wich will run on all over Americas national TV channels. 
Im not really allowed to post anything from behind the scenes before its out.

Im back in Miami with a new shoot tomorrow. Pretty tired after traveling and little sleep this week. Excited to get some sleep tonight.
Hope u all had a great week so far. 

Talk soon, E! :)
