Day 89 Breakfast smoothie

After being sick a lot lately I've felt a need to eat lots of fruits and vegetables the past few weeks. One thing I've gotten inspired to make lately is smooties for breakfast. You can use anything you have, but one of our favorites is this one:

5-6 frozen strawberries

1/2 banana

1/2 avocado

3-4 tb spoons vanilla yoghurt

1 glass orange juice

1 glass apple juice

The avocado doesn't really add a flavour, but is very good for you. It's a very clever way to have kids eat it too.

Today the winterbrake is over, and since I haven't really had one I'm feeling quite ready for a new week. My husband is in Vegas this week so my parents are coming over today to stay here and help out with the kids. It's the final week before the opening of our show, so there are many late nights rehersals ahead this week.

Almost time to start preparing for 4 classes tonight!
How was your winter brake if you had one?

Day 88 cheap vs expensive

Primark glasses








Ray Ban glasses

One of the items from my shopping spree in London that I forgot in my previous post was a pair of pilot sunglasses. I picked them up at primark for only 2 pounds.

Funny thing was that one of my roommates had gotten a pair too, and as I had them next to each other they looked exactly the same. Only difference was that her pair was ray ban glasses at almost 200 pounds!

Sure they are a better quality and will last longer, but I still figure I did a good deal on that one!

little ballerinas- day 86

My days are filled with lots of classes, choreography, theatre and preparing. One of the highlight of the week is to see these beautiful children in pink tutus run around in class. They move so freely to the music and in many ways I feel like I can learn something from them! I love how their bodies speak a language of their own, and how they are not restricted by fear or what they think they should do or look like. It's very liberating!

I'm sitting at a coffee shop waiting for day 2 of the winterbrake rehersals to begin. We start off with warm ups at 10.15, then a dance rehersal to go over all of the choreography. At 12 there is a costume meeting, and after that we are staging the rest of the 5'th act. It's gonna be another long and fun day of getting the pieces together.

The work we are doing now, is for sure the fun part of making a show. This is where everyone and everything comes together and becomes a real play.

Are you on a winter brake right now? 

London part one



Picadelly circus where we stayed



My first cosmopolitan, ever! yeah, I know :D

Dance class at Pineapple dance studio

Frappuchino 4ever!

Our lovely room. And there is a reason why I woun't let you see inside. It's just too terrifying.

The only pic of me, and not a very good one:P

The coolest street ever. Where we also got our nail done.

More dance studio. They were pretty strict on pictures and video inside the classes, so not so much of that.

Lovely roses after we traded the ones at our table with some fresh ones. This is at breakfast with Maria.

Shopping bag. The shopping I did will get it's own post.

Full english breakfast at Giske's surprise!

London bus

This is the stake-house we went to. All the interiour was cow patterns. Amazing food!

One of many dance-shops that had to be explored.

Picadelly backpackers

Lovely or not so much youth hostell

I'm back from a fantastic trip to London with my colleagues from vinderen dance studio and all the girls in the company.

We arrived Friday night and got settled into the youth hostel. Saturday was a full day with 3 hours of dance, dirty dancing musical and dinner. Sunday was shopping day. Monday and Tuesday we danced most day and saw a fabulous dance show called shoes. If you happen to be going to London this is a must!

Now it's time to chill with my man and some tv. Hope I see you soon!

I had a dream last night....Day 85

Just stopping by real quick on the way to work to say that I'm back from London. I havent been online for 5 days, and It's so nice to be back. Back with the sweet family, and with the internet. I'm posting a big London post later, but now I have to get to KG for rehersal weekend with the theatre.

A little piece of inspiration before I go:

Seriously I had this amazing dream last night! I was lifting my legs up real high! My physio was really impressed too. Wow, that gave me a litlle boost to keep working!

London here we come

Today I'm leaving for a longweekend to London togheter with three of the super people that I work with and an unknown (to me) number of kids from vinderen dansestudio. It's going to be an inspiration trip with dance classes, musicals and shows.

hoping london will be somthing like this!

My bag is almost packed and the passport ready.
Have you been to London? What are your favourite thing to do there?

Day 84 thrift and shout!

One of my busy days I get home from work late as usual, and I start reading my favourite blogs. One post caught my eyes, since it was called "cute outfit of the day: black swan" and I had just posted my black swan post. So I read and enjoy the outfit pictures and there, at the end I read this:

This post is dedicated to my friend and fellow blogger Tonje (inspired-dance)

a real life ballerina!

I thought that was so sweet!

And I wantes to encourage you all to visit the thrift and shout blog. One of the most inspiring fashion blogs out there!

You got any great tips on blogs I should be reading? I have my favourites, but would like to add a few to my list!

Day 83 what else is new....

So it's snowing some more. I'm sitting in a cafe at majorstua with sofie. She just finished her audition at nrk, and I think she had a good time. Now she is drawing while we are waiting for our lunch. I have my last osteopath appointment in one hr, and am going straight to work after. Teaching 4 classes. After that it's time for kg and the first run through the whole play. It should be interesting.

Tomorrow is London!

Day 82 Feeling almost like a person

After spending 4 days in bed I was starting to feel a little better and decided to pick the kids up from daycare. So I took a shower and put on something other that the sweatpants and t-shirt I'd been wearing for days. I actually almost felt like a person. Not quite there, but on the way.

Here are the outfit pictures. With half of my head cut off since I'm clearly terrible at taking pictures of myself.

This morning my daughter was sick, and the husband is out of town. So I had to bring Sofie to KG rehersal with me. I don't really think she minded it at all. She was all smiles. The rehersal went well, and tomorrow is the first run through of the whole play with the dance numbers and all. It's going to be very interessting to see how it all comes toghether.

Now I have to finish preparing for my 4 evening classes. See you when I see you!

Day 81 black swan

Have you seen it yet? I haven't, but I'm planning on watching it tonight. I got these cool postcards when I went to buy my ballett outfit at LaDanse last week.

I'm finally feeling better, so tomorrow I'll be back in business with all my classes and everything else.

Got some cool things coming up too. I'm going to be dancing in a music video for my cousin who is the up and coming new artist Marit Børresen. You can visit her website here. Also I'm taking Sofie to her first audition on Thursday for Barnas supershow. It should've be fun! Friday I leave for 4 days of dancing fun in London!

"Litle fuglen" Desember 2010

tattoo ideas....

A few years back I got my first tattoo. It's a typical tribal style butterfly on my lower back. For a while I've been thinking about doing something with it. I like more colours in tattoos now than I used to, and I would like to make it a little bigger and less symmetrical. I think it would actually be nice if it even came all the way to my hip on one side. I really like the old school swallow tattoos. The swallow symbolizes the family and always returning home, and was therefore a very popular tattoo amongst the sailors. I was thinking about using the old tattoo as a background and maybe adding a little shading to it. Then adding the two swallows flying over it and to the side. One bird for each child I have. The swallows in colour. The one on top of the old tattoo should probably be stronger color, and the other in pastels?

This is only the firs idea, so let me know what you think. Should I go for swallows, or something else?

Day 80 Valentine and mothers day!

I know I've been very quiet for a couple of days. Sick. I actually haven't been able go get out of bed for 2 days. A little highlight was that my husband came home with some beautiful flowers and both kids had made some beautiful cards/gifts for mothers day! Still feeling very week, so I'm going for another day in bed basically. Hope you're well!
