OMG Grim is such a happy camper with his new toy! And did I just see Grim walking in the kitchen voluntarily? Took him a while, good to see he doesn't think the floor will eat him anymore..! 😄
@Aubrey you need to contact your local hotline for abuse victims and relocate to a safe house. Nobody needs to tolerate abuse, especially in a relationship. You deserve better!
The tension between me packing up my whole life and moving to Svalbard is VERY strong right now
I hear this in my soul. 😑
Tell me about it
Just remember; Cats are banned from being brought there. There's only 1 in all of Svalbard.
@@sylvrscorpyn do you know why that is so? 🥺🥺
@@stingthekitty To protect the wildlife.
Who would have thought that something that connects us in completely different worlds is carrying our laundry to the machines in a blue IKEA bag haha
I like how the dog goes running across in the distance at about 14:00 then just disappears! Looks like he’s the invisible dog!
Hi Cecilia, I have just finished reading a book about Scandinavia. It said that scandinavian men often don't talk much but scandinavian women are very talkative so they make up for it. 😄 I can kind of see this with you guys! 😊😇
It’s so cute to watch Grim treat the hard floors like lava. He doesn’t like slipping. 💙
My mom has had to put rugs all over her house for this reason! 🤣
Such a neat idea (to record this ordinary day stuff)!!! I love to travel without needing to bundle up or get dressed even. I love to be "taken along" and all of the very useful information that to read about it a book would be far less entertaining. Thanks!
I am so glad that you enjoyed it! 😍
Your videos give me so much comfort, Cecilia! I’m so glad you share your life with us!
The scenery there is something else. A wave from England to everyone up in Svalbard!
At first I was like "There's a wave going from England to Svalbard??" You know, like an ocean wave....
I'll leave now
A second wave from England 🏴🏴 to,show how much we love this channel 😀😀
@@annglaister least you knew what I meant 🤣👋
@@matthewviramontes3131 one of these 👋
Having green plants, indoors, especially during dark winter days, is uplifting. Enjoyed seeing a glimpse of places in the village.
We love you Christoffer! A main character of this show. You are great! Love your hat. Thanks Cecilia for taking good care of Christoffer. Hope to see more of his adventures. And also Grimm!
Hey Cecilia, good choice in the indoor plants. They look quite hardy to me. very important not to overwater, particularly in Winter when they aren't growing. Put your finger in the pot to check if it needs water. if the soil is wet or damp leave it. Occasionally you can spray the leaves or wipe them with a little water to get the dust off to keep the leaves healthy. Oh and another thing- don't let water sit in the bottom of the outside(decorative) pot. Let it drain in the shower or sink before you put it back in the outside pot. Hope this helps :)
Have you considered getting a portable washing machine for you work out gear? There are some that don't use that much water and you can hang dry your clothes afterwards. They also tend to be small so you can maybe store it away somewhere out of sight. I'm getting one soon because I live in an apartment that constantly has water shut offs lol🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
It appears you bought a Devil's Ivy. They're tough. Will give and give. Off cuts can be put in water and they will survive this way, and grow. The other one looks like a Peace Lily ... dark leaves do better in low light. They are air purifiers too. Suggest you purchase a moisture guage as over watering is the main culprit leading up to 'death by overcare'. Remember room heating dries the soil out more. Keep away from the wood fire. Suggest a slow release fertiliser (organic is best). If you come across a Snake Plant, another air cleaner, and indestructible. They're those upright architectural looking plants. Jade. Anything with thicker leaves are mostly human resistent. Enjoy 🌱
👏🏾 you literally just helped me with my plants, I don’t have a green thumb, but definitely taking your advice! My plant babies thank you 🌱 🪴🤗🤗
I have a growing light for my living room which is pretty dark, especially during Canadian winter (no polar nights, but very short days). They work so well!
Would love to be there for Christmas so peaceful and beautiful.
It's incredible here for Christmas! 😊
Not sure if anyone else recommended this already, you can purchase a manually operated washing machine. They’re really small and consume little water. And you can use that for your gym clothes, etc. ☺️
I love when you show the life in Longyarbyen ! I hop you find a way to keep your plants alive ;-))
With dryness from wood stove a lot of houseplants need daily misting of water. 😁
I love it when you say one oye oye oye we say that all time in Wisconsin🇺🇸❤️
I look forward to your videos so much!! They bring so much peace to my day! Love your personality ❤️
I love your channel so much. Life has been really stressful lately and your videos are so calming to me. Svalbard is on my must visit list now! 🤍
You’re videos are like a mental retreat! I love them so much! Thank you! More vids with you’re babe too! He is so shy and so good to you and you to him! Great Couple! 🥰
Just found your channel and adore you already. So grateful for technology + the ability to watch you living so close to the north pole! Your attitude is infectious and makes me smile and feel peaceful. Love from east coast USA! ❤
Thanks for the views inside your life. I'd never want to visit a place so cold, and I truly appreciate this look into life inside of a frozen world. It's incredible.
I just started watching your videos and what a delight....truly warm my heart! The farthest north I've traveled so far is Scotland and you've now inspired me to venture further north, perhaps even Svalbard. Plus, love your adorable dog, Grim....I miss mine so much!
I will be visiting Svalbard from Texas next July. It is so exciting to watch your videos in anticipation of the trip! I look forward to watching winter come on and then turn into summer again. Thanks so much!
Perhaps you’ll meet miss Cecelia! She’s my favorite channel on utube!
I was going to say you're chicken to visit Svalbard during any other time of the year due to it being so cold, but then I remembered how hot it gets in Texas during summer and that will be a nice escape from it. I lived in Austin for 7 years. =) Hope you can experience everything it has to offer.
Did you visit? How was it?
I’m obsessed with gardening it’s the one thing I think I’d miss terribly if living in your amazing place. Good luck with the plants!
Omg you two look so cute!! Love the hats..it’s sure looking frostier fast with each video over there..gonna be a snowy stormy winter
Hi from Scotland. It’s just amazing where you live. Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait for the next one. Xx
Snow! Love watching you go through a normal day, shopping, doing laundry, having lunch etc. Love the new beanie😍 Chris's hat is cool, i remember when you bought it😂 Love to you all, and the Grimster xx💗
I am so glad you liked the video and also remember when I bought him the hat! 😍
Cecilia you are so funny and I love Christopher's manly walk and his uncle Buck hat. Fab video on your everyday life x
Every time I turn on one of your vids, I automatically get calm just from the music. Can't wait to see the video. And your face is flawless !
Loved looking at your little town. So adorable. I became obsessed with plants during this pandemic. I can’t believe what a difference it’s made with the decor. I pick them up everywhere and replant them. I’ve become quite the green thumb. Grim and his baby was adorable. All dogs love something new to play with.
Me too! I went from knowing nothing about plants to having a small jungle in my house 😂
I just found your channel, and I’m obsessed!! Can’t wait to binge all your videos 🤩
"I got you something. It farts!" 🤣I glad that plant survived the cold car! The pothos can live without much light. I keep almost 60 plants right now. They bring joy and fresh air; you'll love them!
😂😂 Oh wow that is so many plants! Then I know who to go to for advice 😊 Do you have any recommendations on grow lights? 😊
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Yes, I got out of control and my husband told me I am 'not allowed' to bring home more. 😅 Personally, I like these: Viparspectra LED series if they are available. They use less electricity and have dimmers.
I also heard good things about the SANSI brand but I have no experience with them.
Lovely to see you again and
thank you for the bits of Svalbard facts! 🗻
Thank you for taking us along! Loved the video. Kudos to your nail girl, your nails always look awesome!
Thank you so much!! Yeah she is amazing at nails! 😍
Everytime i watch your videos it feels like i am in a different world, love it, grtz 🇳🇱
Laundry in an IKEA bag! Classic!
Almost sled season for you guys. I can't wait for those adventures!!!! As well as my own on my sled in about 4 months here on the norther east coast of USA
You two are so cute together! Add Grim to the mix--a perfect family!!!!
It's definitely not the same, but watching your channel gives me some of the same vibes from a place we used to have a cabin. Very remote. Everything was at least 30 minutes away. We didn't even have internet. Makes you focus so much on nature and weather and simple things. Thanks for the reminder!
P.s. I love that black plant pot!
It's always a pleasure when you take us into town show what it's like there. And I must say you look lovely, your makeup and nails are perfect..🌺
yaaay thank you! It was refreshing to edit a video where I had make up on 😂😍
I love your nails. She is really good. Looks like a nice day out with Christoffer. Awww, Grim is too happy with his toy. Now, let's see if you have a green thumb!
Ew.
Cecilia!!! I LOVE this outfit with the puffy vest and hat and boots and the whole look is perfection!
I’ve been watching your channel since the beginning Cecelia! I don’t always comment but always hit the like 👍 button for you! Your skin looks so glamorous and glowing today too! 🥰💯🤩
Your vets office is so much like mine here in the U.S.! I recognize so many brands and toys. It’s nice to see what we have in common. Thanks for the great videos
I LOVE your choice of background music, in all your videos! 😊
Try getting a large "KONG" toy----you can put food in it/place in freezer it will keep Grimmie occupied for hours so no loss of squeaky toy"arms and legs" (plus no risk of of needing bowel surgery to remove toy parts)!!❄💙❄💙
Heck - much of the year you could just put it outside on top of the grill (or someplace else he can’t reach).
Yes! Our GSD has never destroyed a Kong toy.
I hate Kong. The only Kong toy that has lasted is that bell shape toy that you put food or treats into which I do really love. Every other Kong product does not hold up to a dog (Samoyed) that is a chewer. I have bought them all. And don't ever believe when it says Tough Fabric 😂. It's a lie. You want a something to chew on. Go spend the money on a large Antler (real).
Biting bones work too, as they clean their teeth and gums at the same time. Säg hej till Grim! :D
I bought my dog a toy that was supposed to be tough. It was made out of firehouse. She had a hole in it in about 30 minutes. She destroys her toys to get the squeakers out. Then she walks around with the squeakers in her mouth, squeaking it
Hello from the Space Coast of Florida. Love this. It’s so fun to be taken along for the ride. I’m addicted to your TikTok’s!
Awesome! Thank you sooo much! 😍
I really enjoy your videos! Keep up with great work! Also many thanks for selecting our brand when it comes to kibble for your beloved Grim we trully appreciate your support and it means a lot to us! All the best.
I like these Cecilia. Just a day in your life. We get to see the town and shops.
Your vet has everything. Grim got some cute toys which he destroyed🤣
Thanks again and happy Wednesday. Stay warm.
Awesome video as always ☺️. Grimm is the best even when stealing legs from his toys haha.
It was lovely seeing the drive through town always seems so peaceful. Can’t wait for the next video!
Glad you enjoyed it! 🧡🧡
I love seeing the town. I miss it so much. I came a few years ago to do an Arctic training expedition. Fell right in love with the place. I would love to come back. I’m a Canadian nurse living in the UK. I even wrote to the hospital in Longyearbyren asking if they ever need nurses.
Just so worried they are going to build too much and ruin it. Thanks for you fab videos!
Grim was soo happy to have that toy, how adorable.
Hi Cecillia!! I have just subscribed to your channel, and I love it! I am learning so much about other countries, and also I’m enjoying the journey with you! I live in northeast Arkansas,in the United States.
Watching you also helps to lighten my mood. Thank You!!🌸
The seasons there seem to change quickly. The first few snowfalls are always so beautiful. Thank you Cecilia for another wonderful video, I always love to see Grim :)
So cool to see daily life and businesses. It’s probably hard to film in them but this is one of the coolest videos.
Hello from Atlanta, Georgia. My dog T-Bone loves Grimm. My boy is old and has slowed down with age, but he still has a personality similar to Grimm. Love you guys.
awwww cute!
Love your take-a-long videos. Winter is coming! You a Christopher look so cute in your new hats. Doggie loves to Grim❤
Thank you for sharing, this was fun. When you showed Grim's toy after only one hour, I cracked up! Just like my dogs.❤
More of this daily activities videos please , I like it.
It's like a virtual tour of island/town 👍🏼👍🏼
Absolutely beautiful views of the country. Thanks for sharing your story with us that are your fans. Eloquently done by a master of style. That's the way things go sometime. Cold weather conditions and the winter is almost here also. USA.
This is my first time seeing one of your video's, I love it already
Big Hello from Nashville Tennessee. I adore your "day in a life" videos. Keep them coming gurl !!!❤
Thank youuu! Will do! 😍
Scenery and wonderful landscapes again... 🏔🌨❄
I LOVE Christopher’s new hat! He looks very cute!!!
Thanks for taking us along with you and Christoffer on your errand day. About two weeks ago I used your code for Nord VPN and have been watching all kinds of cool content and television from Norway. I’ve been learning Norwegian for about two months so I’m excited about being able to hear Norwegian being used in shows and podcasts :)) Keep up the great content
The mice nibbled on our internet cable ... we now have gnawed VPN ...
I had no idea this place existed until your channel popped up in my feed! Wowzahs, Arctic living!
Some advise on your plants, in colder climates it's best to keep them up off the floor and away from windows or doors so they don't freeze in the super cold nights
Thanks for the tips! I just put my floor one on the sofa table to give it some warmer temp! 😍
Happy Belated birthday Cecilia.. you are truly blessed.. Sending you Hugs all the way from Texas.
Incredible as always Cecilia, thoughts and prayers for your plants over the next few months!😂🙏🏽🪴
hahaah thank you!!!
I’m binge watching your vids but nervous in case I can’t find the next 😳. Just love your crazy enthusiasm and humour!!!! I enjoy any subject but I especially love the scenery, colours, glaziers!! Oh and daily stuff because I love seeing your way of life on Svalbard.
I want a ‘Grim’ and enjoy it when a Christoffer joins in!! More please Christoffer oh and more cookery!! Thanks! 🥰🌻🍦🙅♀️🙅♀️
I look forward to your videos now 🙂 they're so feel good! Hugs from California
You are so gorgeous!! Your skin is so flawless!!
Incredible as alwaysss !!!! 😍😍😍😍😍
I definitely suggest a grow light for your plants for sure! They will be much happier with some light. Don't overwater. You're better off letting your plants be dry rather than too wet.
Thanks for the tips! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
lol - I thought you segued into the future to show us Grim with his new green toy then it was a commercial - enjoyed the surprise editing.
Does anyone in Svalbard grow any of their own fruits or veggies inside of their homes? Would be a fun hobby! All you need is a little area and a grow light. Lettuce is especially easy indoors you could make a little side money doing that too 👍
Depends on the cost of electricity maybe? Guess its not that cheap
What a great community you have!
I visited Svalbard over Christmas 2019. Can't wait for my next visit-couldn't see a thing because it was dark all day, but that was the reason I went then. I need to see it in daylight next time!
That cafe looks so cozy!!
The music you use is perfect!
Hauntingly beautiful!
I like Christoffer’s hat best with the ear flaps up the way he had it originally. 😁 Grim had a good time with his gator!
i stumble by your channel yesterday .you're amazing .lots of love from Arizona USA
Grim you always make my heart smile
Oh my goodness! what Grimm did to that toy was so funny! I was laughing so hard when you were holding "his tiny beautiful legs."
It was a pleasure to visit there 18 months ago...now spotting all the places we visited....
Every new video makes me want to move there more and more.
Enjoy seeing more of the town.
You amaze me with your cold tolerance. I would never leave home!
hahah I love it! 😂😍
I hate it. Anything under 70 degrees is too cold.
Greetings from San Diego, California
Very refreshing to see your video
Sending a big hug to Grimm 😁
Awesome! Thank you! 😍
Loved seeing the vets office. Kind of like a pet store and vet combined! I have a feeling Grim will be getting some toys in the mail now 😄 Also your sense of time is similar to mine. Breakfast at 2 pm😂 I don’t do mornings either.
Loving your videos Cecilia!
The farty crocodile was too cute - and I had to laugh at Grim taking him apart. Our dog takes out all the stuffing to get to the squeaky thing inside. No toys last 🤣
Another great video, thank you.
PS: we bought fake plants for our kitchen as we can’t keep them alive - good luck with your real one 😊
Grim and his toy 😭😍😍😍
REALLY enjoyed this video! I enjoy seeing the different shops and tour of the areas. How is the COVID situation there? Do you have plans to travel soon?
I really enjoyed this! 😊
11:22. That little conveyor belt is funny! 🤣
Christoffer's hat is EPIC! :)
I feel like you need a small bridge to get over that last hill approaching to your car. haha!
Love the plants ~ I talk to mine & they seem to thrive. (I know I'm weird.) And, they give good oxygen for my condo. :)
Yes, I remember when you bought Christopher that hat... i have been here since last year
