Park season begins <3

I hope everyone had a lovely weekend! I have spent all weekend outdoors with friends. Friday I went to Frognerparken in Oslo with a girlfriend and we brought some sushi, fruit, and blankets. I love this time of year and how the parks get greener and the days get sunnier and longer. Everything starts blooming.
Still pretty cold in Oslo, but as long as it is sunny I don’t mind the cold. I always just bring an extra hoodie around. I have experimented on a new plant-based and sugar-free chocolate spread recipe I am excited to share with you this week. My brother even liked it, and he is always the biggest critical when it comes to healthy foods, haha! Stay tuned for recipe :-)



I hope everyone stays healthy, I wish you all a good week.

Ugly sweater party and Norwegian style X.mas in USA

I hope you all have had a great Christmas holiday so far. We had the Wilds Ugly sweater party after the game on the 21st, which is one of my favorite traditions.
We had dinner at RH in Edina, Minnesota. I actually never had dinner there, only lunch. I have to say that WOW, the food is amazing. We had an early night since Mats had early practice the next day. The 22end Mats family arrived and we have been lazy since the day they arrived. Been watching Love actually probably tree times and sleeping in every morning.

On Christmas Eve, we slept in and watched movies. Mats mom made rice porridge for lunch. This is a tradition most Norwegian and Swedish people do during Christmas. We also leave one almond in the porridge, and the person getting the almond, gets a small present, like a chocolate bar. This always made us want to eat a lot more while we were young, just to get the almond and the present.
After eating Mats, his brother, Frank and I got dressed and went to a rink to play around on the ice. I love being active during X.mas, my family and I usually go to the mountains in Norway, so I’m used to a really active holiday season and a lot of outdoors activities. Since I don’t skate really often I have a lot of fun the few times I do. Of course, I got too excited to put the skates on quickly, so I accidentally cut myself on one of the skates, haha. Clumsy and typical me.

After we went home to shower and get ready for Norwegian style Christmas dinner. Mats family brought some food from Norway, and the rest we got from a Norwegian store here in Minneapolis called ‘‘Ingebritsen’’, we also found Norwegian brown cheese and some other goodies there. If you are Norwegian or Scandinavian and living in Minneapolis, you better check it out!
With Norwegian food, music and even snow outside it truly felt like the same as a Norwegian Christmas eve.



I hope you all enjoy the rest of the holiday. And getting excited to start off the new year, 2020! I’m planning to journal a bit today.
I know this sounds a bit stupid, but I recommend everyone to write down 5 things that you were grateful for in 2019, and also 5 things that you are leaving behind in 2019.
Let go of things that dosen’t serve you, and fuel yourself with people and surroundings that only serve you happiness and good energy.
