What a difference 1year makes👉swipe to see😉 . The Insanity started one year ago today!😱 . My husband had gotten hooked on ice-bathing and could not stop bragging about the benefits. Now he's a fire-element type of a guy who's never cold, me on the other hand....cold would be the method of torture that would have me breaking down giving up state secrets in minutes🤐. . But I knew exposing myself to the cold would be good for my health. I knew there were huge health benefits of exposure to the cold. Especially since that's the climate I naturally live in. . So one year ago today I found myself on the beach going for my first ocean swim in Norway in 25 years.🧜‍♀️ It was freaking cold! It lasted no longer than 8 seconds and I was a little afraid I would never get my body temperature back to normal again😅 . It was such a mindfuck, stepping out of my comfort zone in an insane way. I knew I had to keep going to build the habit. And I was willing to endure the pain to get the benefits. I decided to swim every day for a month. But here's the thing I didn't see coming. Within a week I was looking forward to it. I was actually enjoying it. I got hooked on ice-bathing! Within a week! . This is a year later. And I've regularly gone ice-bathing every week throughout the last year. 📸 @etronx . . . . . . #wimhofmethod #icebathing #grimstad #superhuman #feminism #grounding #holistichealth #aktivejenter

Cauliflower steaks with mashed potatoes for dinner on Meat Free Monday!🍽 .. To be honest I didn’t plan to make a vegetarian dinner. I just wanted to empty the fridge and all we had was veggies🤷‍♀️ .. So here’s what I made. And it was well received by both husband and the teenager. .. Cauliflower in thick slices marinaded for 1 hour in barbecue sauce(I didn’t have that much left so I added homemade kombucha, a little chili sauce and soy sauce). Cook in pan for 2-3 minutes on each side and baked in oven for 10 min on a tray with the rest of the barbecue marinade drizzled over it. .. Mashed potatoes. Potatoes with skin on cut in 4 and boiled in water. When boiled soft, drain water off, add plenty of salt, pepper and butter and mash together by hand. .. Lentils and eggplant. Cut eggplant in cubes, drizzle over some salt, let sit in a colander to drain water off it for 20-30 min. Rinse with water and add to pan used to cook cauliflower “steak”. Add a little water if needed to get all the barbecue sauce in the pan to mix with the eggplant. When eggplant is cooked soft add 1-2 cans of precooked (and rinsed) lentils. Add salt and pepper. In the end I also added a little grated vegan cheese. .. Stuffed peppers. Sweet peppers sliced in two, filled with feta cheese and baked in oven. Super duper easy. .. Slices of leek (bottom part) baked in oven with a little olive oil drizzle over. .. That was it! Served with cream fraiche. .. Thanks to @brigitte_berg_ for inspiration to make cauliflower steaks the other day👏 . . . . . . . . . . . . #meatfreemonday #vegetarian #aktivejenter #dinner #veggies #emptythefridge #zerowaste #healthy #holistichealth #doterra #grimstad

“I sat on the bathroom floor crying. Instead of going to bed I sat there reading comments about Kavanaugh's confirmation. I read comments from women who had never shared their stories before. I read about the sexual assaults they had carried alone for years. I read about the fear of what might come. My heart broke. I don't live in the US. Norway is still one of the most liberal countries in the world. But this is a wake-up call. Our rights are not guaranteed. We have plenty of wrongdoings over here as well. But the US influences the world in a way no other country does. When they start taking away basic human rights, be it women's rights, indigenous rights or LGBTQ rights, it will affect us all. We are not free before all are free. This has been a heavy and dark weekend. And I know I'm not the only one. We need to feel the feelings, we need to let it pass through us. But we also need self-care. If there's one thing I've learned over the years it's how vital self-care is. I'm not talking about manicures or shopping sprees. I'm talking about the ways you can heal your heart, keep your sanity and avoid running on empty.” ...Link in bio to read the full blog post. . . . . . #feminists #thefutureisfemale #womenempowerment #womenentrepreneurs #femaleentrepreneur #feminism #selfcare

Because life is too short to not eat chocolate! 🍫 I only slept 4 hours last night and I am craving sweets and junk food today. 🙈 But did you know that too little sleep will make you insulin resistant the following day? 🍫 You will be craving sweets and junk food because the body is desperately seeking a quick hit of energy. What it is REALLY asking for is SLEEP. But we often mess up these signals. 🍫 To satisfy some of this craving I’ve made myself a little raw chocolate. This version is 100% sugar free, so if you’re used to very sweet treats you might want to add a little stevia or coconut sugar. 🍫 Line a small tray or box with a baking sheet. 🍫 Add frozen raspberries (as much as you’d like), I usually use 1cup ~ish 🍫 Carefully melt 1part coconut oil, 1part raw cacao and 1part cacobutter in a pan or bowl over water. 🍫 Pour over frozen rasberries. 🍫 The frozen rasberries will make it set very fast so that you can eat it within minutes. 🍫 Warning: this is highly addictive! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #rawchocolate #rawcacao #vegan #aktivejenter #healthysnack #sugarfree #breakingupwithsugar #noaddedsugar #snack #weekend

I’m double earth (astrologically speaking) which means I need to add more fire to my life. That can be everything from speaking up to eating spicy foods and moving my body. 🔥 Today that was a very fierce juice. Loaded with ginger, lime, beets and carrots. So strong I had to add a little water, but also sooo good. 🔥 I don’t juice nearly as often as I’d like, but at least we made a double portion today so that I can kick start tomorrow with some of this jet fuel as well. 🔥 . . . . . . . . . #greens #ginger #fireelement #slowjuicer #greenjuice #takingcareofme

Arctic summers are not like normal summers. ☀️ We have 24 hours of daylight and the midnight sun, but no guarantee of warm weather. ☀️ It’s been raining, windy and cold for weeks. We’re talking “long johns, down jackets, winter hat and gloves” kind of weather. It seems insane that people actually choose to live up here. ☀️ But suddenly it shifts. Within hours the sun is back, the temperature starts to climb. ☀️ You go for a short hike and find a place like this. No people. Just birds making a fuss over our head and the smell of salt water. Just you and untouched nature. ☀️ It’s such a beautiful place it almost hurts. I feel so insanely grateful that I get to experience this.

I could use this reminder about 4 times an hour. Every single day. How about you? Ever catch yourself playing small? : : 📸: @thinkplaylove

I am completely hooked on this lunch! Chia pudding made from chia and nutmilk or yoghurt. Topped with huge blueberries and homemade raw 100% chocolate mixed with frozen berries. It is ridiculous how good it tastes🤩 And it’s completely sugarfree✨

I’m doing a 3 day smoothie detox even though I promised myself never ever to do a detox or diet again 🥑 So, why do it then? 🥑 Because my body asked for it. Sounds strange? Not really. It’s just about tuning into what my body wants and needs. And now I was craving smoothies and something light for my body to digest 🥑 So I created a little smoothie detox for myself. Complete with meditation and journaling. It’s never just about the food 🥑 Let me know it you want to know more about this 🥑
