Diy healing balm for glowing skin
Happy Friday! Today I'm off to the mountains for a skiing weekend with wonderful friends. Probably last skiing this winter as we all hope for a little more spring in the air now. Nevertheless I'm looking forward to some winter skiing fun and great outdoor activities with friends. If you are familiar with winter, skiing, specifically downhill skiing and dry indoor winter air you probably know this can be really tough on your skin - so today's post is all about a wonderful homemade skin salve. This salve can be used as a salve but also as skin wash. Sounds strange? Washing your skin with a salve?!? To be honest it's actually one of the best ways to wash your face both gentle and nourishing to the skin. I love this recipe and am so happy ...
DIY musclerub for sore muscles
🇬🇧🇳🇴This homemade muscle rub is surprisingly simple and so, so helpful when it comes to pain and inflammation. It’s loaded with essential oils like ravintsara, peppermint and cinnamon to give it that warm-cool sensation that’s so good for muscles.

Hand knit woolen socks are the best!
I must admit i loooooove hand knit, woolen socks. Yes, ok, I'm a Norwegian, and of course we need woolen socks this time of year when it's freezing cold. But you know what? I use my woolen socks all year round 🧦 What better to wear at a rainy day or when camping or at a hike....? Besides hand knit socks are one of the best knitting projects to bring when you want to knit on the tram, on the bus, or wherever. Hand knit socks are super gifts that most people really appreciate. Here is a sweet little story from real life: I sat on the bus one day. I worked on a little knitting project, probably socks or mittens or anything alike. Two junkies entered the bus and sat on the seats across me. They commented on my knitting and I smiled and ...
The best chocolate merengue
🇬🇧🇳🇴 hi my friends and happy Lucia, dec 13th to all my scandinavian friends. 🇳🇴Hei mine venner og god lucia. Idag er dagen for lussekatter, luciatog, lys og pepperkaker. Selvsagt har jeg bakt de tradisjonelle lussekattene, men jeg har også lagd herlige, supergode sjokolademarengs. Marengsen vil jeg dele oppskriften på her idag. Disse marengsene er ganske små, en perfekt søt munnfull. Perfekt crispy på utsiden og seige inni. De passer supert som en enkel gave - og setter du dem på bordet lover jeg at de får bein å gå på. 😊 🇬🇧So today is the day for Lucia celebration, lussekatter, sweet buns with saffron, gingerbread and candlelight. So of course I've baked the traditional lussekatter (sweet saffron bun), I've also made some super ...
Sweet berry delicious
🇬🇧🇳🇴 hello from winter wonderland in Oslo. Today everything is covered under a white, beautiful blanket of snow. Perfect for this Christmas season. Hallo fra snødekt Oslo idag. Snøen har lagt seg som et nydelig, hvitt teppe og gir meg massevis av julestemning. 🇬🇧Today I'll share a fun little recipe on some yummy "healthy" or at least 100% natural, berry sweet rolls. These sweets are super easy to make and you can mix up the berries you use and the flavours to your own liking. These are perfect gifts for a sweet tooth.

This is so you can make it according to the berries you've chosen and to your ...
Advents-aktiviteter
🇳🇴&🇬🇧 December is right around the corner. I love this Christmas month and all the preparations, the Christmas spirit, the music, the baking, making, planning.... but I'm totally aware this is absolutely not the favourite season for everyone. 🇳🇴Desember er rett rundt hjørnet. Jeg elsker advent-og-julemåneden. Jeg elsker alle forberedelsene, baking, julestemningen, julelys, juleduft ... Men jeg er også veldig klar over at dette ikke er favoritt-måneden for alle. 🇬🇧This is also a season for spending, buying and hoarding wich is things I like to step away from. I'll like to focus on the love, the caring and the wonderful opportunity to spend time with those we love. 🇳🇴Dette er også tiden for forbruk, overforbruk og crazy ...
