Got My Party Nails On

I’m going out with my sister and some girlfriends tonight, and spent some extra time getting my nails party ready. I couldn’t get a good picture of them, but they’re diamonds, not dots.. Okay, not real diamonds, but you know what I mean..

Aren’t they cute? They were so easy to apply too. Just attach the sticker to your nail, use a nail file and file off the rest of the sticker. The stickers were sent to me from Essie, so I don’t know where you can buy them, but hopefully they’re in stores. In the pack I got there were six different nail stickers, here’s the rest of them..

I love them all! Now I’m off to enjoy wine and fabulous company, have a great evening girlies♥

A Nice Surprise

Yesterday the nicest surprise arrived in my mail box! A super chic necklace handmade by one of my amazing readers! I’m in awe over the fact that she made this herself, and I got the cutest note with it. How pretty is it?!?

This is something I’d definitely spend money on if I saw it in a store, I absolutely love it!! The kind and talented girl who sent me this has a dream of inspiring other girls to get creative. She’s not interested in making money of selling these, she wants to teach you how to make them yourselves. I find that so cool and inspiring! She posts all sorts of tutorials, I definitely want to try the chalkboard tutorial she did. If you’re gonna visit a new blog to day, let it be hers :) Find it on marenbore.com♥

Thank you so much Maren, you made my day!!♥♥

10 Facts

You’ve probably noticed these “30 day challenges” a lot of bloggers are doing right now? I think it seems fun, but I don’t think I’ll commit to the full 30 days as I guess it would be boring for you guys to read when so many other bloggers are doing it. But I thought I’d pick a few of the challenges and do posts on them. The first one I’m going to do is ’10 facts you don’t know about me’, so here we go!

♦ I have a weird sense of fearlessness and anxiousness at the same time. Things that would freak other people out can be no big deal to me, and things that are no big deal to other people can scare me to death. Moving to New York for two months all by myself wasn’t scary at all. If I couldn’t sleep at night I’d just walk around the city until the sun came up, all alone in a city full of strangers. I just felt completely peaceful and safe. Here in Bergen it’s a whole other thing. I hate going out alone after dark, even just up to my car! Amalie and I have a routine on that now, I don’t even have to tell her; The moment I walk out her door she heads to the window to see me getting in my car. Then we wave kisses at each other and I’m off. When I get home I always have to call either her or my boyfriend the little minute it takes me to walk from the car and home. It’s so weird, but I can’t help it!

♦ I still know all the lyrics to every song on Pink’s old album “M!zzundastood”. I was a hardcore fan in my teens, my room was filled with posters of her.

♦ I get completely addicted to things way too easily. If I like a song, I’ll play it on repeat for weeks until I’m sick of it. If I like a show, I’ll watch every single episode in like two days. If I make something good for dinner, I have no problem making it again every single day of the week, and even the week after. Right now I’m completely addicted to Fun Light with strawberry flavor, I probably drink liters of it every day. I’m also addicted to the song “Thrift shop”, and I’ve played it on repeat both from my phone and in the car for the last two weeks. My boyfriend is going crazy!

♦ My biggest phobia is rats. I’m terrified of them!! Snakes, spiders, heights and stuff like that doesn’t scare me, but my rat phobia is b-a-d. New York is full of rats, so I’m always super aware of that when I’m walking around. If there’s no cars I’ll walk in the middle of the road, in my head there’s less rats there than on the curb. I always scream when I see them, which is pretty embarrassing, especially when I’m alone. When my cousin Fride and I were in New York last month I thought I’d try not to embarrass us and not scream if I saw one of those (disgusting) little creatures. On our way home from a club one night we were faced with one, and I actually didn’t scream! I asked Fride if she was proud of me for not screaming, and she was like “No, I would prefer it if you just screamed and got it over with. Right now you just froze for two minutes, your face got all pale and you didn’t blink once”. It’s bad…

♦ I met my best friend Tonje when I was 12, and the thing we bonded over was that we had gotten our very first period on the exact same day. From that moment on we were completely inseparable.

♦ I hate it when friends ask if I can turn on some music. Why? Because I have the worst taste in music ever! It’s so embarrassing. Not only do I have bad taste, I’m a year after everyone else. I’ve always been that way, my sisters used to mock me for it when we were little. Like if Rihanna releases a new single which everyone’s addicted to, you can bet your ass I’m playing it on repeat one year later. I guess I just need some time getting used to them, haha.

♦ Recently I’ve discovered a bad habit of mine. No one has ever told me it’s annoying, but I just know that it must be super annoying to the people I’m talking to. I tend to finish other people’s sentences before they get a chance to finish them themselves. Some people are just such slow talkers, and I can’t handle conversations like that. They’ll be like “I’m craving *30 seconds pause* chocolate”. In the 30 seconds pause I’ll be like “Chips? Dip? Candy? Pizza? Burgers? Fish? A stake? Soda?”. That must be so annoying, haha.

♦ The most annoying thing you can do when talking to me is interrupt me in the middle of a sentence. I just find it so rude and annoying. This makes absolutely no sense considering the fact above, haha.

♦ From age 8 to 13 I spent every single day after school on the soccer field playing with my friends. I really miss those days, we would play from after school until the sun went down all year around.

♦ I’m extremely positive and always see the good in things that happen. If something bad happens I’ll be like “Accept that it happened, you can’t change the past. No matter how much you worry about it, what happened happened” and I’ll go on a positive rant on which good things came out of it. I guess I can be annoyingly positive to some people, but I’d never change it, it makes me such a happy person.

If you have any wish posts from the 30 day challenge, let me know and I’ll do posts on them♥♥

My Favorite LCHF Snack

Good morning girls♥ I’ve posted a lot of low carb recipes when it comes to dinner, so today I thought I’d show you my absolute favorite snack to make. I make it almost every day, it’s so yummy and I never get tired of it. Before bed my boyfriend and I always watch an episode or two of a tv show (right now we’re watching House of Cards, so good!), and he’ll sit there with his popcorn and I always make this. That way it doesn’t sting so bad to watch him eat all those goodies I miss, haha.

So basically it’s just melted cheese. I absolutely love cheese, I eat it all day. After a little round in the oven the cheese is like chips. Usually I’ll just eat them like that, but there are so many variations you can do. Lately I’ve started putting ham on, that’s really good too. When we have tacos for dinner, I always make these and use them as taco shells.  You can use them as crisp breads and put lots of good things on them, or like I did last night; With guacamole. They’re also heavenly to dip in sour cream and salsa sauce.

I’ve tried lots of different cheeses for this, and the one that without a doubt turns out the best is just regular Norvegia with parmesan on top. Simply fold a slice of cheese in two and drizzle parmesan over, pop it in the oven at 250 degrees for about 5-10 minutes and it’s done. It’s very important to check them often, they go from just perfect to burnt in like a minute.

This is sooo good!

Usually I make my guacamole with chopped onions, garlic, tomatoes and chili, but I was so hungry when I made this so I just added lots of garlic salt, pepper and lemon juice. Still really good.

When I say I’m addicted to cheese, it’s no understatement. I thought I’d show you two other snacks I love, and no surprise; they’re both cheese as well. These mini Babybells are always in my fridge, they’re so good and such an easy snack to grab. Lately I’ve become completely addicted to these snack packs of feta cheese as well.

A lot of cheese talk, haha, but you should seriously try this. In fact, I’m gonna make it again right now. Have a lovely day you guys♥

Insta Lately

Hi sweets♥ We just got back from Ikea, and even though we only went for three things, we came home with a full car of new stuff. And they didn’t even have the three things we came for! Haha, why does that always happen? So anywho, I just discovered something fun! I suddenly have over 20K followers on Instagram!! That’s insane, definitely calls for a celebration! Here’s my latest instagram moments..

Remember to follow me at @cathinthecity :) Are any of you on Vine by the way? I just got it, and I’ve posted two videos. I don’t really get it yet, but I bet I’ll be just as addicted to Vine as I am to Instagram, just give me a week.. You can follow me on @cathinthecity there as well. I need to follow some more peeps, what are your nicknames there?♥

 

Pastels

Hi girlies♥ I was about to ask if you’re all ready for the new week, then I remembered it’s Tuesday. Am I the only one with a major Monday feeling today? The summer weather has been replaced with the usual rain, which was expected, I just hope it doesn’t last for too long. My boyfriend and I are about to head out to find some furniture for the garden so everything’s set for long summer evenings outside with barbecues and wine drinking.

Since the rain is pouring down outside, I’ll share an outfit form this weekend instead. I rarely use pastel colors, but I just absolutely love this skirt! You know those pieces in your wardrobe you feel so emotionally attached to? This skirt is probably the one thing in my wardrobe that has the biggest affectionate value to me. It’s been with me (on me) on so many fun adventures in New York. Everything from dancing nights away in the West Village while being completely silly on wine, to spending a day in Brooklyn with my bestie Tonje checking out vintage flees. It all comes back to me once I put on this skirt..

Skirt: H&M // Crop top: Asos // Sandals: Sam Edelman

We’re off, have a wonderful day you guys♥

Barbecuing Healthy Style

With warm days and long light nights, barbecuing is mandatory, right? I absolutely love barbecuing, we do it every time the weather allows it. It can be hard to keep what you put on the grill healthy though, especially in social settings like when barbecuing with friends, and everyone just brings hotdogs and burgers. I thought I’d share my favorite healthy barbecue dish, which is so yummy and so good for you.

Skewers (grillspyd) with lots of veggies and the meat of your choice. It is so easy to make, and such a great way of eating more vegetables. Here I used chopped squash, champignon, cherry tomatoes, shallot onions and pork. Just use whatever’s in your fridge. Making small meatballs out of chicken ground beef is also really good put on. Before you put them on the grill add some sauce, here I used chili sauce but barbecue sauce is yummy too.

These are perfect to make at home and bring to barbecues this summer..

Last night’s dinner, yumminess!

And obviously we need a good salad. My favorite consists of iceberg lettuce, red onions, cherry tomatoes, avocados, pine nuts, and feta cheese. Pour some olive oil over and season with salt and pepper, and you’re done.

A glass of champagne is mandatory!

Bella hates this warm weather by the way, haha. Poor thing with all her fur is just wheezing all day!

Now we’re gonna do a repeat of last night’s dinner, hope you’re all having a great evening♥
