At the hairdressers..

..this afternoon and being pampered before heading home to my little ray of sunshine! <3

I love the fact that Hanna knows me so well she knows just what to bring me while I'm waiting for the colour to settle..


Love chocolate too of course, but during the weekdays I try to keep my diet clean. :)

Good day!

Ciao /Å

A good start!

Eggs and strawberries for breakfast sure would make anyone smile!


And my apartment is getting more and more ready everyday. Today I'm buying a hot lamp and getting my photowallpaper delivered! :)

Girltalk at the penthouse!

This evening there was yet even more girls at my place and I think I'll keep it going this way. Love having people over making my apartment more and more emotionally filled, if you know what I mean. Without any people having been in it, it kinda feels a bit empty. Especially since I'm still lacking a lot of furniture.. Sigh. But today there was all love in the shape of three lovely ladies visiting! :)

Malin and her gorgeous little princess Signe..

And my super colleague Sara of course! (Now I know it's not summer in a long while still, but I love this pic and I forgot to take any while they were here. So there.)

Now I'm over to a loooooooot more booooooring stuff... DO NOT WANT TO. Have to do my declaration of taxes and employers fees for all my employed lovely Powerstrip®girls. Seriously - a n y t h i n g would be more fun! Going to the dentist, doing dishes, walking up stairs on end, cleaning the toilet, being stuck with the foot in a trap, having a zit in the middle of the forehead.. ANYYYYTHIIIING...!!!

Oh well Enough with the moan already. What is that saying again that goes for everything always???

Just (frikkin') do it!

Done. /Å

Getting and giving..

Yesterday I had my lovely girlfriends Beckis and Tess here for some quality time and as I unfortunately missed my dear God daughter's Christening whilst travelling now I got the proof of that I from now on her spiritual guide..

Oh well, God mother at least. ;) And Beckis as the generous woman she is - a beautiful ring accompanied the gift! <3

And tonight I f i na l l y can tick a lot of stuff off my to-do-list which felt gooood! Powerstrip® choreographies now in the mail for a lot of gorgeous dancers around Scandinavia. And better up - an even newer choreo is already in the making and will be ready for shipping soon. :) Yay!




Now after a long and fun day at Sportlife I'm settling down with a cup of tea and some BODYBALANCE music. Lunch class tomorrow coming up at Sportlife Backaplan. Welcome!

Zzzz /Å

Know your child?

Usually I am the one feeling sick in anything that spins but today roles where clearly reversed.. ;)

Swings coming up in the sunshine! Lively day!

:) /Å

Soft Saturday..

Ebbe and I spent the day softing at home, cleaning and organising - well and playing too of course.. ;)

Then we headed off to IKEA (my second home nowadays) and got some more stuff. We also swung by Henke's place to cheer him up with a gift of a windrunner and a pair of cool shorts from Nike's spring collection before heading off for today's shopping! At IKEA Ebbe although was very clear about the fact that he doesn't find IKEA as amusing as I do. Hihi..




Well at home again we vere met by this view on our street. I l o v e my street. <3




So what did we get? Well, a bunch of stuff, a book shelf amongst it. But why waste it by putting books on it when it's another collection I'm more proud of? ;)




Have a great day friends!

Hugs /Åsa the builder

Love and Nike Shanghai!

What a wonderful day! The sun is shining and Ebbe and I are fixing at home! :) I'm trying to really suck up every minute of our weekend together since I'm off to China and Nike Super Workshop in Shanghai next Sunday. :)

Here's what it looked like last year over there.. Sure looks like FUN - and with a strong dance crowd!
Don't think I can Facebook from China but do feel free to tag along here on my blog!

Have a super duper nice weekend now! :)

Love /Å

Late birthday celebration - and sleep..

Had promised Ebbe to make cake tomorrow for his party but since Henke got sick we had to postpone it. So there was not much else to do but to go grocery shopping..










And bake cake! Happy little bunny.. <3



Myself not so happy after basically finishing off the thing with very little help from the birthday child himself. B.L.O.A.T.E.D. Not the greatest feeling in the world. But maybe not the worst either. :)

Now I was planning to tick things off my disgustingly long to-do-list but it ain't gonna happen. I'm just gonna go to bed cause I'm totally knackered. Was gonna spend this weekend catching up and getting stuff done and myself rested, but since now Ebbe is gonna be with me - plans changed. But hey, all good, I get to kiss and cuddle the prince all weekend and that's worth spending some (other) nights up to do whatever needs doing before deadline. There are more important things in life right?

Like the wall text my dear friend Helena Cato gave to me a while ago that I now finally managed to get up in my apartment..




So true. Live today. You never know what might happen tomorrow.

Hopefully nothing much though. That the sun will shine maybe? :)

Night /Å

A fully normal evening..

..in a "table house"! :)

Laughing prolongs life for sure!

Smile! /Å

Love is contagious - let's start an epidemic..

Sitting at home with a big pot of turkish yoghurt with dates (dadlar?), nuts, cinnamon and peanut butter just being very ...happy. I got back a lot of pis from Vladi who took photos on some of my classes at the Blasts and I just smile at the memories of these three weekends crazy times.. :)

If you want to see many more of the photos you should check out my Nike Blast Album here!

Sure I have been working literally non-stop for almost four weeks now. P h e w. And sure I might be stressed out over a few things right now. But then again what are those things in the big picture. The people I have around me who constantly support and show me love even when I might deserve it the least, giving work too much of my time and attention - are a blessing. Too much attention to a work that I love. And grow from. I feel very grateful for the opportunity to meet and learn and be inspired of so many of these events wonderful people who don't even think twice before opening their hearts and letting people in. Truly amazing. <3

And tomorrow I get to see my little one again. Heaven on earth. Can. Not. Wait. <3 <3 And tonight I'm also thinking a lot of one more person who owns a very special place in my heart - and always will. Someone who understands me. Someone who both supports me and tells me off when I need it. Someone who has made the biggest impact of my life ever. Henke. Ebbe's father. Now, I know he doesn't read blogs, and he's not very much into Facebook, but nevertheless I want to say this out loud:

Henke. Du är den finaste människan jag någonsin träffat. Ditt hjärta är så stort att världen vore en bättre plats om bara en bråkdel fler människor var som du. Du kommer alltid ha en speciell plats i mitt liv och jag hoppas vi får vara friska och ha glädje tillsammans med varandra genom Ebbe länge. Du är det bästa som hänt mig. Jag önskar dig det bästa livet kan erbjuda. Alltid.

You never know what the future will bring. You have right here, right now. You choose what you make of it. Life is too short to wake up with worries if your choices are right or wrong. You have a heart - so listen. Because it does talk.


If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, then let it.


Be grateful. /Å

Wow..!

Okej, so I like taking pics - but I read regularly read a blog from an incredible woman who inspire me on many levels and boy did she have photos to share from the weekend.. Loved them all and borrowed the ones from my classes!


Now I'm longing for my dear collegues at work. :) Off we go!

The Nike Blast Oslo 2012

What a weekend! On my way home tired, grateful and happy!
This is a short version of The Nike Blast Norway!

Clothing shop..


Susanna choosing presenter clothes for her classes..


Me and the gorgeous and equally talanted Kimmo!


Marvin from New York doing what he does best - makes the rest of us totally crack up!! Over and over again.. :D


Petter found a new way of dressing - HoBo Style..!?


And he sure went all in! As well in clothing as in spirit.. ;)


Bus giggles on our way home on Sat!


Two blondes taking pics - I'm looking into her camera and she's looking into mine.. :)


Dinner at a gorgeous restaurant that was almost like a museum of some sort.. A tad creepy though. Think it was some sort of a scary theme..


Beautiful people!


Eh..?!


Ok, that's better..


Kimmo messing around with an enormous bottle. Whooopa!


My nick-name Svetlana from Friday night when I arrived in my glitter UGGS, fur and earmuffs came back up today as I brought out another fur and sort of combined it with a sporty spice slash road worker look Sunday morning.. Classy!


Tony Stone and his cute assistent! Tony is supercool and has choreographed to m a n y of the biggest artists - my fav Britney to name one..


The Nike diet? Candy and Coke.


No no I'm not tired..! ;)


The presenters room was r a r e l y quiet from laughter..!


Tony's house class on the Sunday..


And to finish the day off - a calm and centered BODYBALANCE with Ragnhild and Dr Dave..


Another great weekend. An absolutely GREAT weekend. :) But if I say I'm not somewhat exhausted after working non-stop for four weeks now - I'd be lying. But all good. This week will be back to normal and this weekend a(nother) party for Ebbe! :)
AND the move of all my stuff from the house.. Sigh. Moving is tiring.. But it all feels good when you're done!

Next trip? Nike Shanghai in two weeks! Yiiihaaa!!

Ciao /Å

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BELOVED EBBE!!!

This little big guy turns three years old today!! The pride and joy of mine and Henke's lives. <3 <3 <3

My big guy! My all. I'm so blessed.
