Minneapolis best waffles and off to Nashville

These days we are having friends from Norway visiting. So much fun to explore the city with them and check out new, fun places. Like most Norwegians, we are obsessed with good waffles. I even brought my waffle maker from Norway to NYC, because they only sell Belgian waffle makers here in the States.
The other day we found this awesome waffle place in Minneapolis, called ‘‘Blackhouse coffee''. We ordered the waffles topped with cream, banana, almond butter and berries, YUM. Almost as good as Norwegian waffles. I do recommend to check out this place if you are a waffle lover and hang out in Minneapolis. Their coffee was great too!

Tomorrow we are off to Nashville to watch the game Wild play against the Predators the 24th. Hopefully, Mats will be playing. His Injury is already a lot better. Our tickets are booked, so we will go anyway. We are super excited to go to Nashville, none of us have ever been. I Will try to check out some cool spots that I can refer to you guys. Im dreaming of finding an awesome pair of new boots in a cool vintage store. Recommendations of vintage shopping, good food etc in Nashville is much appreciated!

I hope you are having a good week so far. 

Best, Eline S

Pretty fall and Norwegians in town -Reklame Revolve

The last few days have been super sunny and warm here in Minnesota. I am a typical Norwegian: when the sun shines, I have to get out and take advantage of every minut of it. This can be kind of annoying for people who don't share the same mentality. I remember my friends back in LA used to make fun of me all the time, they get too spoiled over there with sun all year around. I guess Scandinavians just appreciate the sun differently. 

Long walks and exploring the city is much better when the weather is good. Tomorrow our guests arrive from Norway. I have been stressing quite a lot this week to get everything settled before they arrive, I want them to get in a vacation mood and enjoy the stay as much as possible. We still received some furniture today and carried it into the house.



We are super excited to get our very first guests from our home town in our new home. Tomorrow we will probably take them around the neighborhood and go for brunch somewhere cozy. I wish this weather would stay, but it will probably get cooler again soon. Except from having guests, we don't have that many weekend plans. Sunday is home game for the Wild, and even tho Mats is not playing I'm still gonna go with our Norwegian friends. 

I wish you all a lovely weekend. Go out and enjoy all the pretty colors on the trees if you get the chance. Fall colors make me so happy! Next

Dermot Kennedy and Home opener The Wild

Happy Monday you all. It is been a hectic and fun weekend over here. Still, quite a lot to do in the house, even tho things finally start to fall into place. More of the small stuff left, like candles and decorations, as well as carpets, beddings, towels, etc. 



Friday I went to a concert with one of the wives on the Wild team, Helena and a friend of hers from Minnesota. I honestly had never heard about the artist, but I love concerts and when Helena started sending me youtube clips I got convinced to go. 
Dermot Kennedy is an Irish artist and writes all his music by himself. He was truly an amazing live and such a humble person on stage. Before each song, he took a moment to explain the text and the meaning behind every song. The fans seemed to be super connected to him, and wouldn't stop applauding after the last song. They kept screaming, ¨One more song ¨! He looked super flattered and seemed so thankful for every single person showing up. 

Saturday was the first home game for the Wild, and most of the wives and girlfriends of the players went to watch the game together. Before I met Mats I bearly knew anything about hockey. My first hockey game, I asked him ¨Is it gonna be inside or outside¨? Years later, he still makes fun of that comment.
Even tho NHL is huge here in the states, it is a smaller sport in Norway and especially where I'm from. My whole family, including myself, have been active cross country skiers and most Norwegians are all about skiing. In the beginning, I didn't like watching hockey that much, and I often stayed home in NYC to watch it from the coach. I didn't understand anything about the game and the rules. I felt it was easier to understand everything from the TV. After some years I am getting more and more into it, and I do enjoy the games so much more now. Its also a social way to get together with the other girls, as I don't know many people here in the city. Unfourthantly our team lost, but the season just began so things can quickly change. 

I hope you all have an ok start of your new week.

Best, Eline S.

Hello Minnesota <3

Hey you all. :)


Hope you all had a great start of the new week. I am sorry I haven’t been updating in a while.
This first week in Minnesota has been crazy busy. A ton of work with the new house we just moved into as well as getting to know the city, the people and how to get around. It will take some time to settle fully into the house, but step by step. It has also been nice to spend some time with Mats again after almost a month apart.

I realized pretty early, that I have to challenge myself to get to know and meet new people, not to be lonely here. When we lived in NYC everything was a bit different, I had my friends and my stuff going on with modeling and work. Here in Minnesota I am all new and don't know many people. It is a new life for us both. Right now I am also without a working visa, and it will take some time before I get it back. In the meantime, I am gonna start some online nutrition studies, witch, I am super excited about! It will be good to be able to share more knowledge about the nutrition of the food recipes with you guys as well. 

I already feel the warmth from the people in Minnesota. I have to admit it is a massive change from NYC in many ways. So far I like it here. The city is a lot cleaner than NYC and much more nature and less noise, witch was something I always missed back in NYC. Every city got its charm, and Minnesota seems so far to have a lot to offer. I do understand why so many Scandinavians settled down here. The seasons and the climate are similar to Norway. I also got to meet everyone on the team, and everyone has been super welcoming to us both. The last two days I have been organizing a bunch for the house, and some of the girls from the Wild team have been helping me out.

Wish you all a good week, I will try to be better on update more this week. Tonight we have a team dinner, so I am heading out to buy a small gift for the host. Talk soon. <3

Best, Eline S

Goodbye Norway <3 Ready for new adventures

My last days in Oslo have been pretty hectic. I always feel like I have things under control until I realize I am leaving in less than 24 hours. I completely forgot I had to reply for the Esta, since I had an American visa the last 3 years I didn’t really think about it. I replied for my Esta less than 24 hours ago, and it normally takes 72 hours to get it confirmed. Hopefully I get it in time before my flight, which takes off in an hour. Fingers crossed!

As we speak I'm sitting in the lounge with a huge cup of coffee, waiting to board on my flight to Minnesota!
I only slept for a few hours tonight, as I was packing and trying different outfits to figure out what to wear for tomorrow's, or actually today team dinner (with the time difference). I will probably go straight from the airport to the dinner, so hopefully, I will get some rest on the plane. 

I'm super excited to see Mats again and explore a new city with new people! Always sad to leave Norway, but since I am waiting for my next O1 visa, I have to go back to Norway soon for the interview at the American embassy. I will try to update from Minnesota, but will probably be super busy first few weeks with settling in and getting to know a new city and how everything works over there. ts time to get pushed out of the comfort zone again. Its all so new, and I feel nervous and excited at the same time!

Wish you all a great and lazy Sunday. I hope you sleep long and get some rest before kicking off a new week tomorrow. 

X, Eline S.
