When we heal the Earth, we heal ourselves.
Our baby girl was born the 8th of June at 1:35 in the night, the labor started at the same hour her brother was born (on his birthday the 7th). She is perfect and healthy, weighed 4525g and 53cm long. We have had some wonderful midsummer days and we are all happy and well! 🌸🌿💜 …
This weekend in late April I experienced one of the most magical and uplifting days of my life. Some of my friends decided to host a Mother Blessing for me! Most people have never heard about this before, but many are familiar with baby showers. This concept is an alternative to baby shower, where the …

“He wore his long dark hair in great plaits braided with gold.” Fingon, High King of the Noldor
“The hair of Olwë was long and white, and his eyes were blue.” Olwë, king of the Teleri
“His golden hair flowed shimmering in the wind of his speed.” Glorfindel of Rivendell
Whenever Tolkien described a specific male elven character he always wrote long hair. He did not say specifically that all elves have long hair, but never said short hair. In the only drawing we know of where Tolkien painted an elf, he had long dark hair flowing behind him.
In the wake of Amazon Prime’s Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power teaser trailer being released, and the pictures that’s been published this past week, we can safely say that they have chosen to predominately make the male elves have short hair, in sharp contrast to Peter Jackson’s adaptations. So who is right and who is wrong?
One of the last days of October I invited my friend @nolemire for an autumn picnic in the forest. You see, we happen to be almost neighbours a few times of the year, as she coinsidentally moved to the area my family’s seaside cabin is located, with basically just some fields and a little forest …

Easter is one of the most important holidays in Norway, and is basically a time where countries in the northern hemisphere celebrate the arrival of spring after the long dark winter. Norway however, spend this time clinging to and honoring the last of winter, because even after half a year of snow we are still …
For a couple of years we’ve joined the new and quite small christmas market at Trøndelag folk museum. It is a cozy open air museum located close to where I grew up. It consists of a large area with a collection of old buildings, located around a hill around the ruins of an old fortress …

So I got myself a Snapchat, just to be silly with a little handful of close friends. After a while they got filters, which most people seem to hate or at least feel are annoying. I personally don’t take it too serious. Some of them are even nice. I’ve always LOVED dressing up, especially as …
