[Music] Hey guys, good morning.

I just woke up and wrote down a few pages in my journal and I'm about to get ready to go to the gym. I recently

bought a gym membership because I had been doing my workouts at home and I just found it a bit challenging because I already spend so much time at home. I

work from home, you know, cooking, sleeping, doing everything at home. So,

this was a little motivation to get out of the house. And the gym that's close to our apartment has a sauna, which is

so nice. And I've been really trying to

so nice. And I've been really trying to calm my nervous system. I was like sold.

I bought the membership and I've been going every now and then when I feel like it. And I usually go on the

like it. And I usually go on the treadmill and I put the incline up so I can do a little bit of like hiking. I

kind of just walk because I think that's very nice. I used to always go on the

very nice. I used to always go on the treadmill and like run, but now I'm really trying my best to be more mindful of my cortisol levels and that's why I

prefer to just walk and then I do a workout with some weights and then I do the sauna afterwards and it's been really nice. So, I'm going to get ready

really nice. So, I'm going to get ready and head to the gym.

[Music]

I am back home from the gym and I picked up some sourdough bread because I wanted to make an avocado toast and some

scrambled eggs and my morning coffee.

So, I went to the nearest bakery to buy a loaf of sourdough bread. And the

annoying thing is that they don't slice it here in the bakeries in Copenhagen, at least the ones that sell like these types of sourdough breads. And it's so

frustrating because then you need to get home and you need to slice it with a knife and they're always like uneven and

it's not my favorite thing. But anyways,

I am going to slice it and make an avocado toast.

[Music] [Music] [Music] Okay guys, I am going to get dressed

because Hel and I are going to meet some friends from Iceland. It's a friend of mine that I met in high school and after I moved to Copenhagen. I haven't seen

him in like 5 years and I've never met his girlfriend. So, we're going to do a

his girlfriend. So, we're going to do a little double date and have a drink. So,

I'm going to get dressed. I am going to style my Songmon bag. You guys have probably seen it in a couple of videos because I have been wearing it

religiously. It's honestly become my

religiously. It's honestly become my go-to bag and I'm so excited to be partnering with Songmont on today's video. So, this bag is called the Gather

video. So, this bag is called the Gather Bag and it's in the size medium and this color is called Ebony. It's this dark

brown type of color and it's in this super soft Napa leather and it also comes with another strap. So, I'm going to explain like how you can use it

differently because I didn't realize that you could wear it like this in the beginning. So, I was wearing it with the

beginning. So, I was wearing it with the strap which is also so convenient, but I really love this kind of slouchy relaxed

look. It's giving like bohemian vibe. So

look. It's giving like bohemian vibe. So

the other strap, you just hook it. Super

easy. And then you can of course adjust this length. So you can wear it like a

this length. So you can wear it like a crossbody. So nice. And I wore this to

crossbody. So nice. And I wore this to the airport when I went to Mayorca. So I

wore it like this. And guys, I was so surprised how much I could fit in this bag. I felt like Mary Poppins, like you

bag. I felt like Mary Poppins, like you know, bringing all of my things with me.

It was insane. So, it has like the big compartment, but then it has two smaller ones where you can put like lip gloss and your wallet and stuff like that. And

then it has like this secret kind of pocket, which is really cool. The

hardware on the bag is made from stainless steel, so it's really good quality. And this is a bag charm that

quality. And this is a bag charm that comes with the bag. And this is additional one, which is really, really cute. It adds a little fun detail. I'm

cute. It adds a little fun detail. I'm

trying to decide what I should wear with my bag today. It is quite sunny and spring is here already. So, I'm like

kind of wanting to wear my shorts. Not

like short shorts, but my Bermuda shorts, the ones that I bought in Australia. It's these pants that are

Australia. It's these pants that are like two in one. So, I'm thinking if I should wear like the shorts for the first time, but I'm definitely going to

wear my boots with my shorts, otherwise I would probably freeze because it is only probably like 12° outside. If you

watched my Mayorca vlog, then you probably noticed that I wore this sweater almost every single day, but I just haven't gotten enough of it. even

though I've had it for a few years, but I kind of just rediscovered it in my closet and I'm obsessed. So, I feel like

these colors are just like really good together. Okay, I will have to move the

together. Okay, I will have to move the camera so you guys can see the outfit better. And Miss Matilda is sleepy head.

better. And Miss Matilda is sleepy head.

She's taking her nap today. Okay, I'm

going to move you guys over here so you can see the full outfit. I'm wearing the shorts and I'm going to put on my black boots. I feel like that's like the best

boots. I feel like that's like the best combination with these colors, but I'm going to spice things up with a hat. So,

this is the hat that I'm talking about.

Not sure if it fits, but I think it could be fun.

And for my Songmon bag, I'm going to wear the smaller strap. I removed the longer one because I kind of want to wear it like this. So, that's the

finished outfit, but I haven't done my makeup. So, let's do that. I don't know

makeup. So, let's do that. I don't know if I told you guys, I'm going to Oslo tomorrow because my best friend moved to

Oslo last year and I haven't visited her and all of my like Icelandic childhood best friends. They are flying from

best friends. They are flying from Iceland going to Oslo. She's also

Icelandic and we're going to be spending Easter together. We also did it last

Easter together. We also did it last year. We went to Paris which was so much

year. We went to Paris which was so much fun. I vlogged that trip if you haven't

fun. I vlogged that trip if you haven't watched it already. So yeah, I've been to Oslo once, but that was only for like 2 days. So I'm really excited to go

2 days. So I'm really excited to go there again. But I think it's going to

there again. But I think it's going to be very cozy. I don't think we're going to be like out and about because it's Easter and we also don't spend so much time together. So I think we're probably

time together. So I think we're probably going to be chatting, eating good food, and just hanging out. I am going to bring my camera with me and I might

include some parts of like Oslo in this vlog. I think it would be cute. I don't

vlog. I think it would be cute. I don't

think I'm going to do like a separate whole video because I just know that we're not going to be doing so much, you know, exploring. And also, my friends,

know, exploring. And also, my friends, they don't do social media, so I don't want to be annoying like always with the camera. I also really want to just spend

camera. I also really want to just spend some quality time with them. I'm looking

so much forward to seeing them. It's

been a year since I've seen some of them. So, it's going to be so nice

them. So, it's going to be so nice hanging out and eating some Easter eggs we have in Iceland. I think Iceland is like on another level with like Easter eggs. I know that other countries do

eggs. I know that other countries do something similar, but Iceland it's like a big tradition to have like a chocolate Easter egg that is filled with candy.

And there's actually a store here in Copenhagen called Ice Food that sells all of these types of different Icelandic produce. So, it's actually

Icelandic produce. So, it's actually possible for Icelanders living in Copenhagen to go and buy some Easter eggs there. But to be honest, I'm not

eggs there. But to be honest, I'm not like the biggest fan of these Icelandic Easter eggs, but it's just like the vibe and the tradition. It makes me happy.

[Music] [Music]

[Music] Well, I have just been packing since we

got back home, so I'm ready for tomorrow. And I think I'm almost packed,

tomorrow. And I think I'm almost packed, but I just wanted to take a little break and make some dinner. And I'm actually going to be by myself for dinner tonight

because Har is watching a football game or soccer game with his friends. So, I'm

going to be cooking a little salad with some chicken breasts, cucumber, some

feta, some pine nuts, and oh, I bought these cherry tomatoes, and I've been snacking. Oo, there's a mold. Oh my

snacking. Oo, there's a mold. Oh my

gosh. Okay. Yeah, probably because they're organic. I don't know. But

they're organic. I don't know. But

anyways, I've been snacking on like the yellow tomatoes and they are so tasty, so sweet. There's only one left. Yeah,

so sweet. There's only one left. Yeah,
