I spent last week with some of my close friends in Sandefjord, Norway. We got super lucky with the weather, and got the most out of the days, with good food, dips in the ocean, boating and kayaking. Hope you all enjoy summer, even tho a lot of us are back at work already. This summer went way too fast!

Down by the water

Bright evenings, after long days in the sun, swimming in the ocean and eating fresh seafood.
Life is pretty good these days. I enjoy this year’s summer vacation with family and working in between. In a few days I am heading to meet some of my best friends for a little mini-vacay in another beautiful part of Norway, not too close from here., called Sandefjord When I finally start settling in, it’s kinda hard for me to move. Finally, I’m getting into a real vacay mood and even started reading a new book, Wich I feel like I never make time for!




Norwegian summers are not fully like the French Rivera, with glam, heels, and glitter. Even tho I like to dress up sometimes, In Norway, it is much more chill. Warm sweaters for he evenings and even jackets are a must. Denim shorts is another must for Scandinavian summers. And as its usually pretty windy, a lot of the times, I love to braid my hair. I have done that since I was a little girl every summer, as my family used to sail for a month straight. My mom figured it was easier for her just braiding me and my sister, so the hair didn’t get too messy every single day. My mom teached me how to braid cornrows on my sister from a young age, and I’m completely obsessed about braiding still. I really love that this trend comes back every other summer. Small details like braids, or plain off-white bra under a basic linen shirt, are little things that make the outfit pop a little more. Uggs or boots are also great options for windy summer nights.




Enjoy the rest of July month everyone. <3

Lyngør, Norway's Formentera

I love spending time in South Norway, been spending every summer here since I was a little girl. Every day is pretty much the same, lazy mornings with lots of coffee, a morning dip in the sea, brunch on the balcony, a walk, or run in the woods, followed up with another swim in the ocean. Usually, we do some bbq or seafood on the grill for dinner. I have too many spots where I have great memories with, and feel good spending time with my siblings again. Lyngør is one of the cutest parts of Norway in my opinion, everything is old-style, white and cute, So much personality in every corner of the little island. <3



Wish you all a good rest of July month.

Annonse - Schrammek Norge

Hei alle sammen. Håper folk flest nyter sommeren, på tross av noen dager med dårlig vær. Selv har jeg sittet med hjemme kontor og prøver å bruke regnværsdagene produktivt til å få unna ‘‘inne jobben’’, før jeg planlegger en liten tur på Sørlandet. 



Det er alltid ett evig spørsmål hva man skal prioritere å ha med seg i ferie baggen av sminke, hud, - og hårprodukter. Noe av luksusen med ferie er jo nettopp å kunne kose seg ekstra lenge på badet med deilige produkter og føle at man gir huden og kroppen det lille ekstra! 



Jeg har i flere år brukt hud produktene til Dr Schrammek. Og er avhengi av å ha dem med meg på ferie. Heldigvis lager de alle mine favoritt produkter superpraktiske reisestørrelser til ferie turen. 
Jeg prøver alltid å pakke smart med reisestørrelser og la de store flaskene bli hjemme. Tar liten plass og er også en perfekt måte å teste ut nye produkter på for de som ønsker det!
 

Du kan kjøpe 2 valgfrie reisestørrelser, og få en gratis Herbal Care Lotion 50 ml! 

HERBAL CARE LOTION 50ml - perfekt til fet og kombinert hud og likeså til normal til tørr hud

Personlig elsker jeg, ‘‘Black Clearing Mask’’ som kommer i en 15 ml forpakkning. Perfekt en gang i uken å få renset porene, etter mye solkrem, osv.

Special Regulating Cream 15 ml er en hverdags favoritt, som jeg bruker natt og dag stort sett hele året, perfekt for meg som kan ha nokså hormonell hud, spesielt en gang i mnd. 

Blemish Balmen, bruker jeg hver eneste dag. Det er en behandlende foundation som jeg påfører over Special Regulating Cream. Blemish Balm gir huden en flott glød og holder urenhetene mine i sjakk samtidig som den dekker naturlig ujevnheter. Denne kremen er også sterkt beroligende og brukes alltid etter Green Peel behandlinger. Også fin på solbrent hud om sommeren og ikke minst på insektsstikk.Den kommer også i en 15 ml forpakning.

B-day brunching in Oslo

Last weekend we celebrated our girlfriend, Rikke’s birthday at Tjuvholmen in Oslo. We started the celebration with brunch at Sanoma, which is a Korean Asian fusion restaurant. I have never been to before, but the food was really good, as well as the vibe. It is truly something magical about being social again. I think everyone has been craving human connection on a different level after a corona. Obviously, there are still strict rules in Oslo, but Norway has been dealing pretty well with this situation.
After brunch, we all went to another restaurant/ bar named ‘‘bar Tjuvholmen’’. They make the best spicy margaritas! Wich is my favorite drink by far.




Have a good rest of the week everyone.

If you could go anywhere you want right now, where would it be?

Where would you travel in the world if you could go anywhere you want right now?
Looking back on my latest travels and feel so grateful for everything I have seen, people I have got to know and learned from. Cultures I have got to experience, and food I have got to try around the world. I love this quote listed under, by Anthony Bourdain. I truly believe travel is the best way of learning and growing as a person.


“If you are thirty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn to be better, I urge you to travel – as far and as widely as possible sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and cook. learn from them – wherever you go.” 

— Anthony Bourdain


Spending my Sunday inside, doing some work from my laptop, planning my new week, and cleaning the apartment. Happy Sunday everyone!

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!



I am sharing my unique code: syrdalen20, so you can get 20% off your entire order at www.stronger.se this week!
Happy shopping and wish you all a great week.

Red for summer <3

I hope everyone enjoys these summer days, and nights as much as I do. It has been heat-wave days here in Oslo, Norway. Almost too hot to wear anything else than a bikini outside! This week it supposes to cool down a little, which is great. Even tho I am pretty used to the heat, after living in both Florida and California, it is quite different, as people in Norway don’t have airconditioning. I got myself a fan and taking hot showers in between. Grateful for the beautiful weather tho! I love to be able to swim in the ocean every day and do outdoor activities.




Wish you all a good start of the new week. I’m heading to South Norway this week can’t wait for some real quality time with some of my fave peeps!



Adding with some pictures of one of my latest favorites in my wardrobe. I’m obsessed with this red color on tanned skin, love to style it with a mix of gold jewelry for a simple everyday look, or over a fancier dress for a night out.

By sommer og hjemme spa. - Vinn ditt eget home- Spa kit

I sommer blir det en litt annerledes sommer for de aller fleste, men by -sommer trenger ikke være så ille! Spesielt ikke når man bor i nærheten av både parker og havet. Oslo har så mye fint å by på, jeg ser ferm til turer i skogen og båturer i Oslofjorden. Som freelancer blir det mye hjemme kontor for meg, så det føles godt å kunne ta små lufte turer ut på balkongen, eller avkjørle seg med ett kaldt bad på Bygdøy.

Man trenger ikke dra langt for å skape ferie følelsen. Jeg digger å lage en egen hjemme spa, en gang i uken for meg selv, eller sammen med en venninne. 
Viktig med egentid og ‘‘self-love’’ i en hektisk hverdag, uansett når på året det er snakk om. Nå I sommer bruker jeg balkongen min flitting og rigger til en liten spa -opplevelse utendørs i ettermiddags solen. 
Koser meg med iskaldt sitronvann, friske bær, og en deilig superfood smoothie bowl (oppskrift under), sammen med en avkjølende alovera maske fra Dr Schrammek’s face kit! 




Face kittet til Dr. Schrammek består av flere av mine favoritt produkter året rundt. 
Blant annet Perfect Skin Peeling - en finkornet peeling som fjerner døde hudceller og tilfører pleiende planteoljer som gir huden mer langvarig og dypere brunfarge. Alocalm Gel Mask, 60% aloe vera, bruker jeg flere ganger i uken. Den er deilig avkjølende og beroligende nå som solen er såpass sterk. Rik på fuktighet, vitaminer og mineraler som balanserer huden og hindrer tørrhet. Kiten har også med avkjølende øyemaske, som jeg liker å legge kaldt i kjøleskapet før bruk. I tillegg inneholder kiten Moisture Plus, bitte små ampuller, som er lette å ta med seg i vesken. Skikkelig fuktighetsboost med «Bio-Botox», en lett bedøvende plante som forebygger mimiske rynker. Noen få dråper tilføres huden, etter rens og peeling. 




Lite hemmelig triks, som jeg lærte av hudterapeuten min Fanny på Beths beauty i Oslo: bruk ampullene, under en maske, for eksta dyp absorbering og fuktighet til huden. De kan også brukes separat under en fuktighetskremen.




Selve toalett mappen tar liten plass og veier lite, perfekt å ta med seg i baggen for utflukter, eller helgeturer. Noen ekstra prøver følger også med i toalett vesken. Kampanjepris: 1290,- (ord. pris: 1808,-).
Mine absolutte favoritter er sommer produktene deres. Akkurat nå for du også 3 for 2 på alle Dr. Schrammek sine sommer produkter i original str!
Neste innlegg kan dere lese om dr.Schrammek's "Best Pics" for den freshe sommerlooken. Omfattende beskyttelse med pleiende virkestoffer som hindrer tap av spenst og booster huden til sin beste utgave. På vei inn i salongene kommer tilbud på "Day Cream m/SPF + Serum" i tillegg til "Plukk og Mix" - små praktiske reisestørrelser. Schrammek sin produkter er medisinske og naturlige, bra for oss og bra for å bidra til ett grønt miljø.

Ett lite tips til hudpleie fra innsiden med min Superfood Smoothie choco- loco bowl
(oppskriften ligger også ute som en IGTV på min instagram profil)


Dette trenger du:


4 frossne spinat kuler
1 håndfull frossen bringebær
1/3 avokado
1/3 frossen banan
2 toppede ss raw kakao
Noen stevia dråper, jeg bruker 5 dråper
Mandel melk, havre melk, vann, eller annen melk - ettersom hvor tykk du liker din smoothie bowl


Dette gjør du:


Start med de flytende ingrediensene, jeg bruker vann og mandel melk.
Tilsett resten av de frossne ingrediensene og kakaoen. Start blenderen, og bled til smoothien er jevn uten klumper. Hvis den blir for tykk, bruk litt ekstra væske. Skal smoothie spises fra en bowl, er det bedre med en tykkere tekstur.


Topping:


Topp bowlen din med det du har tilgjengelig, la fantasien slippe seg løs.
Mine favoritt toppinger er:
Granola, ferske bær, peanøttsmør, solsikkefrø, chia frø, hemp frø, nøtter
For litt eksta forbrenning, strø litt kanel på toppen.




God helg, Eline Syrdalen.

Last weeks highlights

Love these summer days in Oslo, everyone gets so spontaneous and adventurous. It’s easy to be social and people seem to really enjoy the good weather. My week started off a bit slow with home office work, from Wednesday early am to Thursday late night I worked on a shoot with a big team at a beautiful place just an hour away from Oslo, called Kleivstova. It was really long days, and super hot, especially because we were shooting winter clothes, with heavy boots and warm gear, but we all kept each other motivated and people were in such a good mood. If anyone visits Oslo and wanna see some beautiful landscape, close to the city, I recommend checking out this hotel. The food was great too, and the staff was super friendly. They made sure we had food at all times, even tho the vegan options wase’t the best.




The rest of the week has been packed with meetings and things to catch up on. Been going to the beach and boating after work hours for a swim, taking advantage of being a freelancer, and having the privilege to schedule my own days!
Saturday night I had some friends over for some drinks at my place, before we headed together to one of my old friend’s event at ‘‘Taket paå Steen og Strøm’’. Such good music and awesome vibes. So much fun catching up with old friends again, and as everything closes super early we decided to hang out at a friend’s place at Bygdøy for an after-party. Stayed up all night and some people even went for a midnight swim. That’s really the best thing about Scandinavian summer, it never gets dark. Really mindfuck, as your brain never wants to go to sleep.




Wish you all a great week.

Ta vare på huden i sommer - 3 step Body Home Spa kit fra Dr. Schrammek

Annonse - Dr Schrammek

Om sommeren er det ekstra viktig å ta godt vare på huden, etter en lang vinter hvor vi nordmenn ikke har sett snurten av solen, er ikke huden vant med sterk sol. Derfor er det ekstra viktig at vi først og fremst smører oss godt med solkrem, men også at vi gjør en god prep før vi legger oss ut i varmen å steker. Personelig, bruker jeg bruker alltid faktor 50, spesielt i ansiktet er det ekstra viktig med høy faktor. Jeg prøver også å unngå overeksponering av sol, og spesielt midt på dagen, når solen er på det sterkeste.




Med det nye 3 step Body Home Spa kitten til Dr Schrammek får jeg den beste spa følelsen i hjemmet, og legger ett godt grunnlag for at brunfargen skal sette seg dypere, men også vare lenger. Produktene er enkle å bruke og etterlater en myk og oppstrammet hud.

Step 1: Super Body Peeling.
- Fjerner døde hudceller

Kombinasjonen av mekanisk og biologisk peeling sørger for effektiv reduksjon av døde hudceller og tørr hud. Påfølgende aktive ingredienser penetrerer bedre. Unikt for akkurat denne peelingen er at den også er revitaliserende og fettforbrennende.
Peelingen kan også brukes helt uhavengi av de andre produktene.
- Jeg bruker peelingen som anbefalt, 2-3 ganger i uken. Den påføres tørr/ lett fuktet hud, skylles bort med vann.




Step 2: Cellucontour Body Cream
- Fettforbrennende og oppstrammende

Spesielprodukt for reduksjon av cellulitter og fettansamlinger. Stimulerer de naturlige detox prosessene i underhuden, og aktiverer reduksjon av vann og fett i problemområdene.
- Jeg masserer denne godt inn i huden med massasje applikatoren på problemområdene, morgen og kveld.




Step 3: Shape Perfection Body Oil
- Sirkulasjonsøkende og fuktighetsgivende

Mykgjørende og svært sirkulasjonsøkende kroppsolje for mage, rumpe, lår og armer. Eksklusive planteoljer sørger for økt spenst og elastitet i huden. Chilli og sennepspirer stimulerer blodsirkulasjonen kraftig og øker cellenmetabolismen. Blod -og lymfesirkulasjon forberedes og opphopning av væske i fettvevet reduseres.
- Jeg bruker denne oljen, morgen og kveld og spesielt etter cellucontour applikatoren, for en ekstra oppstrammende effekt,. Oljen virker også veldig bra etter soling, for å trekke brunfargen enda bedre inn i huden.




Ha en nydelig juni måned alle sammen, og ta godt vare på hverandre og huden i sommer!


Beste hilsner, Eline Syrdalen.

Oslo weekend summed up

Hey everyone!


I hope you are all safe during this really sad times. Even tho I feel very safe back in Norway, it feels sad with what’s going on in the USA, especially after living in Minnesota. I stay in touch with some friends back there, and it’s a tough situation for everyone and what they are dealing with daily. My thoughts go to everyone who gets effected in this situation.

On Friday some girlfriends invited me over for wine and a girls-night-out. It feels like those random nights, who are not planned, always are ending up with being the most fun ones! We headed to Tjuvholmen a bit later on where we had some food and drinks at ‘‘Bar Tjuvholmebn’’, and enjoyed the summer night together.

Since I had already committed to a trip out in the woods with a sleepover, there was no time for a lazy Sunday.
I packed up my stuff and got ready for tenting in the woods with some friends. We drove to a place called ‘‘Sørkedalen’’, parked the car and walked about 6 km into the woods, where we camped up our tent next to the water. The rest of the group already arrived a little before us and had already started getting comfortable and making some food.
Summer night like this in Scandinavia cant be described, they must be experienced. The darkness never arrives, the moon was clear and beautiful and the landscape is breathtaking. It was truly a great experience. The next day we woke up, took a morning swim, and made breakfast. Its been a while since last time I went camping in the woods, but it will defiantly happen again this summer!



I wish you all a good rest of the week. Be kind to one and other. <3

denim on denim <3 and new partnership!

Hoping everyone enjoys the sunny days, here in Oslo the summer has finally arrived. Feels amazing to walk in nature, wear fewer layers of clothes, and feel the sun on the skin again! Right now I am obsessed with denim, and love mixing and matching different denim looks together, feels very timeless, and hard to go wrong with denim in general! Easy to dress up or down, for every day or a chic ‘‘going out’’ look.



I am still in between moving into my new apt and stressing with getting settled in, and working from home! The exciting news is that I got a new partner, ‘‘Good for me AS’’, and just started using their 100% vegan beta carotene gold! It is a supplement to help the skin to develop a deeper and longer-lasting tan. As I have been struggling quite a lot with the skin, with both pigmentation and acne I am excited to see the results this summer. I love that their product is natural and full of vitamin A, which is also helping on strengthening the skin. I always wear SPF 50 in my face, but with this natural way of help, I am sure I will be able to get some good results, even with Scandinavian summer weather! I will keep you posted on the results!
You get 40% off on your first order on www.Betakarotengold.no !



I wish you all a great rest of the week.

Christian Ascension weekend / Kristi Himmelfarts helg

Hey everyone.




I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend, here in Norway, ‘‘Kristi himmelfart’’, or Christian Ascension weekend is a typical weekend where people go away to their summer places or winter cabins. I remember this time of year last year in NYC people started going to the Hamptons. This year I am staying in Oslo and going absolutely nowhere, except exploring a bit in the woods. As I have bought a new apt in Oslo, it is a lot to get done these days with interior shopping, measuresing, and moving in general. Even tho it feels a bit exhausting, I am super pumped and overwhelmed about this new project. I feel truly blessed to be in Oslo, Norway. I feel so much safer here, then I did when I was stuck alone in LA. I am sending positive vibes and prayers to everyone who is handling this situation all alone, stay positive, and stay strong!



Right now, the apartment is all a big mess, but I can not wait to invite my friends over and show you guys a little tour as well.

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.

Corona birthday & coming home

Hey everyone!



Coming home to Norway has been the best decision I could have made. It’s another world back home in Norway. I have never felt so grateful for having a Norwegian passport before. The way Norway has been handling this situation compared to the US is another level. Dealing with being sick and alone was challenging and scary, but I made it and now I am home and actually happier and more thankful than ever before. I tried to lower my expectations for my birthday this year, because of the situation.

However, I guess I will always be a bit childish with birthdays. My family and some friends knows me too well and surprised me with balloons and flowers. Obviously with a good amount of distance. My brother took me biking in our old neighborhood, pretty challenging and even more challenging on the way down as I insisted on doing the harder route, with part of me regretted later on.




Sports defiantly have that effect on me, that it makes me confident when I reach the goal. The goal for this specific bike ride was to reach the top of Wyllerløypa. My brother asked me multiple times if we should turn and go back or do an easier way, but we made it! I will probably be in pain for another week from now. Everyone who has been in Norway, and knows ‘‘Wyllerløypa’’, knows it’s pretty brutal. It was probably the best birthday gift I could have got this year.
Being stuck inside a small apartment in LA and then coming back to Norway and being able to get fresh air in the Norwegian landscape, almost feels like getting drunk for the very first time again!
High on life and endorphins are poppin’!




Even tho this was not a real birthday, I decided to dress up. I was not gonna let Corona ruin my birthday this year. I am wishing all my Taurus sisters and brothers a happy birthday and encourage everyone to live life as normal as possible, do not get too engaged with the negative news, and dress up, even when it’s just for yourself or a facetime/ zoom call.




I hope everyone had a good weekend, due to the circumstances and that you are able to make the best out of this situation. Stay creative, keep yourself busy and reach out to old friends by facetime, etc.
Stay safe and have a good week.




Best, Eline S.

I hate goodbyes

The week is coming to an end. I hate saying goodbye to people I love. My boyfriend just left back to the states last week and I am staying in Norway for a little longer to take care of my new visa. Since we have been moving quite a lot lately, it feels like I have clothes laying around all over the place and I can't wait to get everything organized. 

I hate goodbyes, even when I know it's not gonna be for too long, it's always sad to say goodbye.

Today is the last day I see my brother too, he is studying in Milan. So I won't see him until Christmas. 

I decided to make some brownies for dessert for the last goodbye dinner, I experimented for a few days to get it right. I finally got a recipe I am happy with and excited to share with you. 

It contains no sugar, no milk products, and no wheat! As well as full of nutrition. Stay tuned, I will post in in a few days. 

Because of everything going on in the rain forest and with global warming I am trying to challenge myself to eat less meat, and include more veggies. Better for us, and better for the planet. I know its hard to cut the meat, especially if you don't know what else to add to your plate. I recommend following the @radicalbroccoli girls. They are super passionate about this and share a lot of easy tips about this theme. They inspire me a lot daily for more eco-friendly living, They also wrote a book that just got translated to English! 

Hope you all had a good week.

Super easy sides for the BBQ din-din

I wish the bbq season was all year around. Everyone gets together and bring all kind of different goodies to throw on the grill. It feels like almost everything tastes better grilled. I'm obsessed with Norwegian hot dogs, probably because they remind me of childhood and summer. I always try to add some healthy sides to my plate, creativity has no limits in the game of BBQing! Who doesn't love colorful, pretty plates? Here are some super easy sides that will impress your guests for the next get together. These sides work perfectly with any grilled from the grill. 

Tomato Mozarella salad - with a summer touch

-This super easy salad only contains 4 ingredients only

1 pack with Strawberries - preferably Norwegian ones
2 packs of mini tomatoes
1 large mozarella cheese/ burrata cheese
1 handful of fresh balsamic vinegar
pinch of sea salt

Cut all the ingredients into smaller pieces and mix together. The cheese makes the salad kinda creamy, so you don’t need to add lots of extra oil. I prefer this salad with some sea salt and an aged balsamic vinegar.

Grilled filled peppers

4 large peppers
3 cloves of garlic
tomatoes
basil

Cut each pepper in two pieces, and remove the seeds from the inside

Chop the garlic pieces, some mini tomatoes, and some basil and add it to the peppers. I usually use aluminum foil to avoid making a mess with food getting stuck to the grill. In the end, add some olive oil and some sea salt. 

Leave on the grill until the peppers are golden and ready to dig in. 

I hope you like it.

Exploring Lyngør Island

Reklame/ Ad - Revolve


We have been exploring South Norway and Lyngør Island this weekend. Kinda sad that Norwegian summer is coming to an end already. We had a morning dip this morning and the ocean is already getting cooler.


Lyngør Island is one of my favorite islands. The island used to be a stop for the sailors, and the old sail maker house is now a restaurant. They are serving pizzas, and fresh Norwegian sea food! Really recommend to visit this place next summer. Its season based, so the restaurant is only open during the summer months.


For those who are interested in exploring Lyngør in Norway, I already wrote a mini guide under ¨Travel.


Hope you all had an amazing weekend!

Familia reunited in South Norway

The last few days have been super lazy. Feels so good to finally take some time completely off and hang out with my mom, dad, sister, and brother. We have been picking blueberries in the woods, kayaking, playing sand volleyball, swimming in the ocean and exploring the cutest little island Lyngør. 

Yesterday we ate dinner at the little sail maker restaurant at Lyngør island called ¨Seilmakerfruens Kro¨. They serve Pizzas, fresh sea food and such. 

Hope you all have a good week.
