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!

Best, Eline S.

Stay home with Pretty little thing

How are you all holding on? I am staying busy with work from home and experimenting in the kitchen almost every day. Heading back to Norway very soon, and can’t wait! Feeling pretty isolated here in LA, and will be another life back in Norway where I will be able to use the nature every single day. Even tho the rules are pretty strict in Norway as well, the trails are still open, and people are allowed to go out for walks in the woods, as long as they keep the distance.
I’m trying to put on some makeup and something else then joggers every other day, but have to admit I’m mostly in my robe and slippers.


Stay safe everyone!
I can’t wait to share a project I am working on with you very soon.


Best, Eline S.

Sweet potato toast, vitamin C boost

During these times many of us have a home office and a little extra time to prepare healthy meals.
My grandpa told me they used to eat potatoes and oats every day during the second world war.
The upcoming weeks will be spent mostly in our homes, to prevent spreading the virus. And not to seem dramatic, but it almost feels like some kind of war.
We don’t have our freedom the same way to just go out and be social, so we might as well enjoy the time spent at home and make good healthy food.

.
Potatoes are full vitamin C, which helps you build up your immune system to prevent getting sick. They are also full of fiber, which make them great for your digestive system. On top of that, they are super filling and make you full for hours. Since I started eating more plant-based, sweet potato is one of my favorite vegetables. Potatoes can be prepared in so many different ways. Cooked, baked, fried, or even being used in bakeries. The sweet taste gets even sweeter after cooking them, and they taste delish with olive oil and sea salt. This recipe only includes 3 main ingredients. And are super easy to prepare for yourself, or just double up the portions for more people.

! large sweet potato
1/2 avocado
olive oil
sea salt
lemon
Baking paper



What you do



Start with turning your oven on 200 degrees Celcius.
Clean the potato in water. Slice the potato in 1 cm thick pieces with a sharp knife.
Have some olive oil over the potato slices and massage it into the slices on both sides.
Place the slices on a baking paper and pinch over some salt.



Bake the sweet potato slices in the oven until they are perfectly roasted. Depending on your oven from 20-30 min. They should be a little golden on top, but this depends on how crispy you like your food.



In the end, mix 1/2 of a large avocado with a fork, add some sea salt, a little squeeze of lemon and some olive oil. Have the mixture over the sweet potato toast slices.
Add your favorite spice, I used some oregano.
I hope you like it.

Plant-based protein oatmeal, made with a superfood twist

Hey everyone.


Its been a different week here in LA. People seem to really freak out from the coronavirus, and its starting to get a bit scary. Especially today after Trump announced that the US won’t let anyone from EU travel into the US in the next 30 days. I guess the next step is that everyone from the US won’t be able to travel to EU. Especially now when I’m by myself away from loved ones it feels a bit scarier.




The first thing I do in the morning now days is making myself a big cup of coffee, to get that extra kick and those good antioxidants. Staying healthy during these times can be a real lifesaver. I have been craving oatmeal a lot lately, it fills me up for at least 3, or sometimes 4 hours before I get hungry again. Especially when I make it with one of my favorite plant-based ingredients, which is full of good proteins. I’m talking about almond flour! You can buy almond flour in almost every supermarket nowadays, or order it on iherb, amazon, or in a health shop.




What you need



1 dl almond flour
1 dl old fashioned oats
some cinnamon
some sweetener: honey, agave or stevia
a pinch of salt
4 dl almond milk, or other milk




What you do



Start with adding all the dry ingredients to the boiler. Then add the milk.
Use medium to low heat and mix together at all times so the oats dosen’t burn.
Mix until you get the texture you like, some people like more soggy and other people prefer more firm oatmeal. Personally I like my oats in between, but the topping is everything to make the oatmeal exciting and different from one day to another.




One day I can go with only berries, next day with nuts and fruit and another day with granola and peanut butter. I like to mix it up from one day to another.
Today I made it with granola. blueberries, raspberries and fresh strawberries.
Whoever said that eating plant-based is boring, is wrong in my opinion. Oats are also super cheap, and very quick and easy to prepare on a busy morning.

I hope you like it and that you got inspired to pimp your oatmeal next time.
Stay healthy everyone!




All the best, Eline S.

Spontaneous trip to Europe

We just said goodbye to our guests from Norway this week and had some days to catch up on everything I didn't do while having guests here. We had a blast in Nashville and I think they had a great time staying with us in Minnesota. A few days ago I attended the Jack Jablonski charity event with some of the wives and girlfriends from the Wild team. Jack Jablonski changed forever after he was hit during a high school hockey game. The resulting injury left him quadriplegic. He started his foundation, ‘Believe’ and keep inspiring and engaging people all over the world. I am extremely overwhelmed and impressed by this guy and his attitude towards life. 

Today has been such a sunny day here in Minnesota, and I'm trying to take advantage of the sun as much as I can before the cool kicks in. I love being out this time of year, the colors on the trees truly inspires me everyday. I have decided pretty spontaneously to go on a trip to Milan as my brother studies economics there now. I haven't been to Milan in a long time and figured out its a good excuse to go while he is there. It will be cool to stroll the streets and hang out with my mom and brother again and explore the city together.
I know Milan pretty well, as it was one of my best markets for modeling in Europe, as well as Germany. Milan was where I started booking good catalogs for clients like Guess. 

When I lived in Milan for the first time, I was young and pretty new in the game. I stayed in a model apartment, and it was pretty exhausting at times. Living with 5 other girls from all over the world with different cultures and languages costs a lot of patience. Surprisingly enough, all models I have ever stayed with have been super nice, except that many struggles with eating disorders and such, but for the most part easy-going and nice girls. Anyway, thank god I don't stay in a model apartment this time. Im sharing a room at a central hotel with my mom, excited about that. Can't wait to see beautiful Duomo, and visit my favorite area, Corso Como, and ofc eat some Italian pizza!

Adding a few pics over from my last time in Milano, during Milano fashion week, a catalog shot in Bologna and from a shoot by the talented photographer Nicola Casini. I remember I got yelled at during Fashion week back then, because I was too tanned, and was gonna wear a cropped top for the show. haha. Model life was really not that glamorous back then in Milan, that’s for sure!



I will try to make some updates from Milan, and recommend you some good eateries etc! I'm already off to the airport just in a few hours. 

Best, Eline S.
