My simple Scandinavian life / A happy, ordinary life / silent vlog Norway / Life with a dog

- Maybe many people would call my life boring. But I couldn't be happier with my "dull", ordinary life!
I find joy in small things, like surprising my boyfriend with a sweet treat after work, watch tv, talk about our day, play with my dog, and going for city walks early Saturday morning.
Not being productive all the time is OK. Just existing and enjoying the little things is nice.
Episode 22
It's nice to see one of these simple life videos in a more urban area, it shows we don't need to be isolated in nature to appreciate the ordinary
It’s really what I’m trying to show through my videos. Thanks for noticing!
You can pretend that you're living in a French village inside your own mind! 🤯🇫🇷 That's what I do on my ranch in East Texas. I sing French songs and try to pretend that all of my neighbors didn't really vote for Trump... 🐥
@Austin8thGenTexan True! You can go anywhere in your mind. Today I’m living on a big ranch in Texas and not in a small Oslo apartment 🤩✨
OH goodness I am in love with your dog.
🐶💖
Me too!♥️
How long is mochi alone at home?
@jennieeklov About 6 hrs

Thank god for dogs.
They are the best!
and cats! 😻😻😻
@manitoul5783 Definitely!😍
Is it just me or what? I truly find this type of vlog therapeutic.
I’m so glad to hear that. My wish is for people to relax a bit in their busy lives. ❤️
exactly, I am passing through hard times and the channel helped to reconnect with myself, my home and Priscila - a dog that live with me. Many Thanks to share your perspective about life.😉
@dobrandocaminhos This means a lot to me. Please give your dog Priscila a pet from me!
@@introvert-and-dog Sure, she is very happy right now. Warm hugs from Brazil. See you!!!
So do i .it was my zen moment
One of the things I really like about your vlog is that it shows simple slow living in the city with no special visual or any other effects. It's raw. It's honest. It's about life as it is. It's about all of us. Or, at least, many of us. Most of other similar vlogs usually feature living a simple, slow and "authentic" life somewhere deep in the countryside in a nice cottage with a flower field outside of it and a lot of cute decorations inside; the sun shining brightly, the sky all painted perfect blue, birds chirping merrily and butterflies fluttering around. My issue with this kind of vlogs is that they seem somewhat unrealistic to me. A fantasy. A dream. Normally, they are very carefully staged and meticulously polished. And while there is absolutely nothing wrong with this, whenever I happen to watch such a video, I often feel uncomfortable and hesitant as if I take one further step and I am lured into a trap. But, of course, it's just my perspective, and others don't have to agree with it. Cheers!
True
I really appreciate your thoughtful comment. I must admit I have had a fantasy about living in a beautiful cottage in the countryside and have a quiet (photogentic) life. But in reality, that would never work for me because I need my job in the city to survive. Also, the city can be a nice place even if it’s noisy and crowded at times.
So I just try to do document my life as honestly and simply as I can without any fancy effects or expensive equipment, hoping that my short videos will encourage someone out there to see the beauty of this ordinary and «boring» city life. And I guess my hope is that people can appreciate their own surroundings, even if it’s not glamorous and spectacular.
I know just what you mean! I look around my little house and think - I should do that, or that. Luckily, it soon passes. I have 7 kitties so a neat, tidy little house is impossible xx
@@juliemitchell3013 Life is to short to spend it cleaning all the time. I would rather cuddle the kitties, that would make me more happy 😂
I embrace simple slow city living, and find it to be really satisfying. A quiet night at home, making an extra effort to cook a nice dinner, maybe inspired by Jamie Oliver, with a glass of red, can really light up my life. Keeping an open mind, and cultivating imagination and being able to learn new things is good too. There are nice parks to visit and gardens to access nature. Sure, I like to travel now and then, but I don't want to be hostage to a bucket list. Tx for your channel. That little dog seems such a great little character.
Hi! I really like the comment you made at the end of the video. You are right. There's definitely no need to be productive all the time.
There seems to be an obsession to be constantly productive. I think it makes people less happy. 😢
It becomes exhausting and then you hit the dreaded burnout
I love your calming, quiet vlog. No meaningless chatter and voice overs. Love it. From a fellow introvert
Thanks so much, dear fellow introvert 🥰
This little dog is so cute😘😘😘
Mochi is so adorable. I know right..leaving the house and thinking of our little one at home can be so daunting! 🤗
Exactly ❤️
Just even seeing the dog brings my heart joy.
I love that! Thank you❤️🐶
❤ Mochi magic ❤
I love her to bits! And seeing her listening so intently, cocking her head from side to side in a great effort to understand exactly what you are telling her, is utterly adorable! She’s such a happy, well balanced puppy! Well done, Dads!
I really enjoyed seeing the historical and modern architecture featured in this video - Oslo looks like a beautiful, clean city. There also appears to be plenty of parkland/open spaces for enjoying walks in a much more natural setting. Mochi clearly has a wonderful time on her walks and she’s growing into a well built little girl.
I had not seen a fridge turntable before - what a great idea - you are no doubt feeling well pleased with having cleaned and reorganised your fridge.
I really love it when Mochi cocks her head from side to side like that. It’s so cute!
And yes, Oslo has a lot of parks and green spaces. It’s both green and urban which I love. That being said, it is definitely not as beautiful as my home town Bergen which you were lucky to visit 🥰
There is a friendly rivalry between the cities as Bergen used to be the capital, but is now forever the number two city🥹
I love quiet, calm videos like this.
Thank you for this -- everything about it made me happy! (And made me subscribe.) Number ONE: ❤ Mochi ❤. That eager, curious little face. The shaking-while-walking (haha, I love it when they do that). The hopeful offering of the Sacred Green Toy. The relaxed, sleepy little body at the end. Mochi loves you and you love Mochi and that's all that needs to be said. This makes me want to live in Oslo; the city looks beautiful. And I really like your apartment. The flowers ... ❤ Quite satisfying watching you scrub down that refrigerator and neatly restock it. A quiet life marked by order, contentment, love, and beauty is a wonderful thing. We've got it all wrong here in the USA -- fame, fortune, money, possessions, Instagram followers, blah blah blah -- these are not the keys to a happy life. Thanks again.
Hello and thank you for this thoughtful and kind comment. When I read something like this, it makes me really happy!
You noticed so many details in the vlog, that’s so nice! Like the sacred green toy💖
We seem to share a similar outlook in life. I wish more people could see that you don’t need a lot to be happy. In my opinion, chasing fame, endless hunt for expensive things, just make people unhappy in the long run.
I hope you have a peaceful week❤️
That dog is FABULOUS!!
I can’t disagree! 🐶✨
Greetings from California. I am an introvert with 2 cats. 😻😻 I resonate with the everyday, simple appreciations you shared with your special animal being, Mochi. I love my peaceful, not boring life, but now I think I want to live in Oslo! 🇳🇴What a beautiful city. ❤
Hello California! I’m smiling as I’m reading this, picturing your peaceful life with two cats in sunny (?) California. Have a great day! 😃✨🐶
@@introvert-and-dog Yes, always so sunny ☀️☀️☀️that I relish the rain. ⛈️⛈️⛈️. Rain is soothing for introverts. 😊
I agree about the rain😀
Your life doesn't seem ordinary. It seems peaceful. Thank you for sharing a piece of that with us. I loved the simplicity. There's so much beauty in slow living and that not every moment needs a purpose, but every moment should be appreciated. I'm a travel channel, also trying to show that not every adventure needs to be fast paced. Life is worth taking time to find beauty in the small moments ❤
Thank you for this thoughtful comment. I try to remind myself every day of enjoying the little things we take for granted. Will check out your channel. Hope you have a peaceful weekend!!❤️✨
Yes! This is what I feel when I walk around Oslo. I feel like the city is giving me a big hug ❤
Oslo💖
My life was once simple and happy. But I lost my dog suddenly to leukemia. And now life is emotionally and mentally complicated and sad. But I have hope and faith.
Oh no, that’s heartbreaking to hear. So sorry for your loss. I can only imagine your pain. Glad to hear you have hope and faith though. Hang in there. Warm thoughts from Norway ❤️
I’m so sorry for your loss, I have a pets and I know how important they are for us. I’m sending you a big warm hug and good vibes 🌈☀️
I lost my beloved dog Mia last January at 15 yrs young . Life is emotionally challenging right now . For someone who absolutely adore animals , and dogs specifically, not having her around me it’s devastating. Thank the universe for dogs 🐶
@MultiMurfi I’m so sorry for your loss. I can understand it’s an emotionally challenging time for you now. Hugs from Norway ❤️
Adopt a rescue dog 👌💪
Such a nice city... Less people and animal friendly it seems. Mochi is delightful...really sweet like his name. Im an introvert with dogs and cats.
Big hug to you and your dogs and cats! 😋🐶❤️
Like this calm Comfort
Can't wait until you have enough subscribers to stay home with Mochi. This channel just came about right now and I'm already invested.
What an outragous and wild fantasty. I love it! You made me laugh out loud. Actually, that would be my dream life! Sending you good vibes, as I’m enjoying my morning coffee with Mochi on my lap. 🐶✨
First time in your channel. I agree about " just existing and enjoying the litlle things is nice". In the big city I live all you learn is to be fast, productive. You learn to be stressed out, and to forget who you really are.
Thanks for your kind words. It’s hard sometimes in the city to relax, but I try to find things to do that don’t stress me. And I tell myself it’s OK to not be productive all the time ❤️
@@introvert-and-dog That is a pratical way to do the balance. But then, I thing there´s people pushing, expecting me to be productive all the time. I´d better clarity that I will not fullfill their expectations. Thanks
Soothing …. Love your dear little dog and the calmness and music in your video :-)
I need this reminder every once in a while: I don't have to be productive all the time. Thank you for sharing your little life with us.
It was very relaxing time while watching your video 😁 Mochi looks so lovely, like a little movie star from Disney films 🐶 greetings from Poland 🤍❤️
Hello to you in Poland! ❤️ I agree, Mochi looks like she could be in a Disney movie! 🐶✨
I love that you pushed the bowl of oranges toward your dog to smell and understand the way dogs understand (through smell). Appreciating the perceptions of others helps our lives grow. Beautiful video. Very relaxing to watch. ❤❤
I usually let Mochi smell everything when I come back from the grocery shop. It makes her happy and as you say, dogs explore the world with their nose❤️🐶
So cozy and heart warming
I love it that when you go out for a walk you can enjoy the piece and quiet. In Greece there are people and traffic everywhere. It’s exhausting. Although the weather is nice, you can’t enjoy it with so much noise. 😢
I wish I could give you some of our quiet streets and you could give me some lovely Greek sun! ✨
I came across this video and am so glad that I did. I live in Texas in the US. The scenes and music are so relaxing, I have fallen in love with Mocha. Thank you
Warm greetings from Oslo to Texas! Happy to hear you enjoy my videos. ❤️
@@introvert-and-dog thank you
I just discovered your videos and love them so much. It gives me so much comfort as an introvert to watch these videos and I always find it amazing how much you can express without talking all the time. So thank you
That means so much to me- Thank you for taking the time to comment! Connecting with fellow introverts is extra special to me ❤️
Lovely, lovely Mochi💚💚🐾🐾
Your dog is so adorable ! LOVE your lifestyle too.
Thank you! Mochi sends love your way! 🐶💖
Mochi might be the breakout star...good girl, Mochi!
I totally and whole heartedly agree!! ❤️🐶✨
Thank you for this beautiful video. ❤
I loved hearing Miles
Your life is beautiful and Mochi is adorable.
Thank you! Love from Oslo🐶💖
Very enjoyable and relaxing!
I love the peacefulness of all of this! And I LOVE MOCHI!!! She is SO cute!!!
Thank you! And I love Mochi too! 😂She is a very good girl ❤️🐶

The fridge takes on a life of its own! 😂
Oh what a sweet doggie!! 😍

For me, it is so nice to watch small genuine vlogs like this. I'm so happy that I found your channel, I lived in Norway (Bergen) for a few months for an exchange program and I had recently felt the nostalgia kicking in. Watching this made me a little bit happier today :) thanks a lot!! I just subscribed 🌸🌟🤍

Having a nice dog in life is not boring! Many little things add up to being a Happy life and person. 🤗
I agree with that 😃❤️
I also love the interludes of music
Greetings from Richardson North Texas....a lovely video! Thanks for the post!
Hello North Texas- Thank you, and have a lovely day! 😃👍
In Tennessee we call the turntable for condiments a "lazy Susan". Don't know why. I enjoyed your relaxing video. I'm a new subscriber !

Hello, I have already subscribed, I love the simple life of people and seeing their daily life as it happens and in different countries, I have enjoyed the atmosphere of your video, thank you for sharing these moments, greetings and until the next video 😊👍
This means a lot to me. I like seeing how people live in other countries too. Wish you a good week ahead ❤️
Your vlog just popped up on my feed. I loved this video. It was so peaceful. I’m an animal loving introvert myself. You’ve motivated me to clean out my fridge - haven’t touched it in three years either! I’ve been happier since I sold my suburban house (with all the work it took to keep it in top notch shape) and moved to a studio apartment in the heart of the city. There are so many cultural events to take advantage of. Mochi is so cute! Just subscribed. Greetings from Indiana!
It’s very nice to connect with fellow animal loving introverts. Good luck with cleaning out your fridge! It will be with ut when you’ve finished 😀
Glad to hear you’re happier in a studio apartment- Less / smaller can be very nice! We don’t always need a lot to be happy if we can appreciate what we have.
Mochi sends lots of doggie kisses and love to you in Indiana 🐶❤️✨
First time coming to ur vlog n love the simplicity of it .. the way u love n capture moments with ur dog is fantastic ! U got a new subscriber !!

Hello from Canada! Happy Sunday! Your channel was just suddenly in my feed today. Just finished this video, and I had to subscribe. I love it.
Mochi is adorable! Enjoyed watching you walking around outside, as you are showing places that I don't think I will ever get to see in person.
Hello Canada! Thanks for your kind comment. Mochi sends you her love! 🐶❤️
No matter the language, a dogs love and the love we have for our beloved dogs it is the same…one of the things I love to see when traveling the world…we are all the similar in our pursuit of happiness…that lil head twist while you talked, my dogs do that too…we have a very simple life as well…just me and my two dogs. I love the simplicity…
I agree 100%. We humans are more similar than we think. Your simple life with two dogs sounds very nice. Wish you a peaceful Sunday. 💖
