Gotta love spending time with my mom, here in LA. Feels fun doing tourist stuff with her. Seeing things threw her eyes feels super refreshing. She have been here once before, a few years ago. This time around we got to do all the things we didn’t manage to do last time she was here. Thats the thing about Los Angeles, even people who have been living here for 20 years, still haven’t been everywhere. There is always something new to check out in this city.
I took her to my favorite coffee spot in the heart of West Hollywood, Carrera Coffee. You can get your own picture from your phone printed on your latte!
Hope you all have a good week so far. Sending some sunshine over to Europe. LA is heating up these days.

Happy new year
Happy new year everyone! I hope you all had a good start of the new year. Hard to believe 2020 has already started, it feels like 2019 went way to fast.
We celebrated New Year’s eve with the entire team at one of the players and his wife's house. It was a really fun night with different games, food, and drinks.
The guys had a day off the next day, so we got to sleep in the next day, wich was really nice. A really lazy start of 2020, but i’m planning on dragging my ass to the gym tomorrow and make up for it.
There are not many times a year it feels normal to dress up in a sparkling dress like the one I wore, but for new years I feel like its a great opportunity to go a little crazy.
I love everything that sparkles, so I decided to go for a fun sparkling dress from Revolve/LPA this year and styled it with a transparent belt from Lovers and friends, a sparkly hairband from Free people, sparkling clutch and flats from Steve Madden.
Have you made any new year goals yet?
My goal for 2020 is getting a better balance in life in general, that’s something I have been working on for a while. I’m a pretty extreme person in many ways. When people say balance is key, it really is. But for me at least, easier said than done. My second goal is to stop wasting energy in trying to please everyone, at the end of the day you can’t please everyone, and instead, you will end up start losing yourself.
This year I’m focusing on my goals. and surrounding myself with positive energy.
I’m starting nutrition studies too very soon, which I have been wanting to do for a while now, and excited to finally get started.
I wish you good health and the best of luck for this new year. Trust yourself and your dreams and be kind.
Best, Eline S.

Happy Holidays from Minneapolis <3
Christmas is just around the corner, I’m usually a last-minute person with everything. This year is a lot different since I’m celebrating my very first X.mas in the US away from my own family. Its the first time ever that I’m in charge of things to be ready and prepared.
I have to say that I start to realize why a lot of moms don’t like X.mas that much and think it’s stressful. I’m not sure how all moms manage to do everything from cooking, cleaning presents with 2-3 kids running around. All credit to my own mom and all moms around the world for keeping it up every Christmas.
We have decided not to do too many giftings this year, even tho I have bought some stuff, just to have something under the tree.
This week we had the Wilds girlfriends and wifes gift exchange dinner. I have been missing out on everything my girlfriends have been doing in Norway, so was great to get together and have a girl’s night. Mats got back yesterday and excited to have him home for a while, as well as getting family in town to celebrate X.mas. Hopefully, we can go somewhere and ice skate the next week and enjoy the cozy winter. Even tho it’s freezing out, its sunny every day and that helps for sure.
Today is a new game day, I decided to skip today’s game as I have been feeling a bit off since last night and want to charge up the batteries for our ugly sweater team dinner tonight. I love those American traditions, and defiantly planning on bringing them all back to Norway when moving back.
Tomorrow i’m starting my favorite X.mas movie marathon. My latest X.mas movie recommendation is ‘‘Bad Christmas moms’’, it’s hilarious! And ofc I’m watching The holiday, every Christmas, as well home alone and Love Actually!
Last thing: remember to reach out a hand, if you know anyone being alone this X.mas. It can mean the world to that person. I always get super emotional every X.mas and, but decided to not be this year.
I guess it helps to lower the expectations in general. Typically a lot of girls imagine things to be just like in ‘‘Love actually’’ or ‘‘The holiday’’, but truth is that no one’s life is like a Disney movie, even tho we all wish it was sometimes.
I wish you all a great Holiday season and a Merry Christmas. Take care of each other and be kind.
Best, Eline S.
