- The first snowbath of 2022 has been taken! I cannot wait to take more! Actually, it was incredibly cold haha not gonna lie. We spent the weekend in a cabin in Svea, 70km from Longyearbyen and had a couple of days of glaciers caves, skiing and having fun. This video is Part 1 to the weekend, part 2 will be up in just a few days! :) I hope you enjoy it! I am very soon back at posting two videos a week! 🧡

Check her out on tiktok and instagram! Here on youtube she posts videos about her daily life in her cabin with her boyfriend Christoffer and her dog Grim, living just outside of Longyearbyen. Subscribe for videos about her daily life as well as adventures on an island close to the North Pole. They have polar bears there!
Watching adults have that much fun without being intoxicated(??) is such a joy to watch. 😄 I love it.
hahah def not intoxicated here no hahah, just pure snow fun!
I agree. I don't know why alcohol has to be the main focus when adults get together.
But you ought to see her when she actually is intoxicated; it’s hilarious!
Oh, the nostalgia. I have been to Svea in the late 1980s. They just had a polar bear sleeping inside the settlement so everyone walked armed. The bear finally woke up and decided to swim away, solving peacefully the potential conflict.
Watching your videos is like taking a mental vacation. It is always a pleasure to see what you are up to!
Also, that last shot of the video would make a beautiful art print! 💕
Thank you so much for watching 🥰
I know. When I need a detox of life, I head to svalbard 😊
I was on a flight from Doha to Los Angeles on Tuesday and flew over Svalbard. Got to see the twighlight you talk about. Beautiful orange glow on the horizon.
How cool!! Isn't it incredible!
I doubt you did
Why would he lie? Lol
Wtf ?! ahah
@@tshelby5212 I was returning from South Africa on Qatar airways. After a stopover in Doha I again took Qatar that uses a polar route to Los Angeles as it is shorter.
You can do anything you want to do Cecilia! So glad to see you enjoying life to the fullest.
Love your content. What an amazing awesome and interesting life you live on Svalbard ❄️
You're the best!
Oh no, I cannot believe..! A very Italian coffee, made with a real Bialetti machine!!
Bravissima Cecilia! The best day to bengin a new cold day! Greetings from Italy!
The best way
The Bialetti is amaazing! :D
Incredibly beautiful! I couldn't live there I don't tolerate cold weather so I can enjoy it through your videos. I live in México close to the mountains.
Same! Cold weather is a beast. Where I live it's in the 60's Yay! But in the summer we hit 105 degrees it's too hot we can't go outside until after 6pm. Either way I enjoy watching her videos because of the 🌨️❄️
You cured my seasonal depression. I realized how much people make us want to hate winter and cold but you embracing it i just want cold ❤
The drone shots showing how isolated the in is and the beauty around it are Amazing. That place is a treasure ❄💙❄💗❄
I have just recently at the age of 62 almost, started swimming in the sea in Scotland with my friends Nicola and Virginia and I think that is cold. I cant imagine a snow bath on Svalbard lol you are braver than me Cecilia xxx😂😂😂
I absolutely love how you can laugh at yourself. You both have such a light that I adore.
😍🙏
These vlogs are the nicest, best edited, cosiest vlogs I have ever seen! I cannot get enough 🥰🥰🥰
I agree! Cecilia make my day perfect. The workday came to an end. I made a liter of coffee. I opened TH-cam....
I found your video! And now I enjoy. Wonderful to see Grim.
Wow, thank you! 🧡
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Thank YOU! And Grim too
@@helenakoivisto4459 stay warm and peaceful 🥰
@@stormskies3861 Here in Finland is very much snow, but no polarbears . Here in my home is +20C temperature. No worries. But in balcony...there is frozen world. Until April.... Have a nice weekend!
I had to build a snowmobile safety course this week at work (that's what I do, build online interactive training). When I was building the final exam I thought about slipping in an extra question:
When traveling to cozy cabins by snowmobile, do you:
A) Leave Grim at home
B) Strap Grim down with the luggage
C) Let Grim ride on your lap like every rich old lady with a Pomeranian who drives a Mercedes
D) Place Grim into an attached covered wagon with lots of toys and warm blankies.
The correct answer would be "D" of course! ;)
Hahahah I love this 🤣😍
Such beauty everywhere. Thanks so much for taking us along. ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it 😃
@@CeciliaBlomdahl ❤
You two are hilarious. You live on the edge of the world yet like to travel to another spot even more remote. I love it.
I was thinking the same thing. I find it funny that she has to be away from people while living in a remote cabin that she calls home😊
Whenever I see you making coffee I make one for myself. I don't like coffee so much, but I like the ceremony that goes with it. I like to rest with a cup next to me and watch your videos. Your beautiful videos and energy helped me during a month long illness.
I wasn't aware until now how commonplace the term "I put the bag in the bucket" really is. 😂 That made me laugh. But really, I think that term is spoken more often than I think. 😮 I think Svalbard is awesome for the proper disposal program they have in place.
One lady with incredible resources of mind strength
Dairy, your blemishes due to dairy.
Moisture for your face, sesame seed oil. Make your own, as slough add sea salt.
Removes liver spots, smells amazing, so good for your skin.
All the best from Niagara Falls Ontario Canada. ♥️☘❄
Love these cold/ snow filled videos during Christmas holidays, just so cozy, even if it's in my imagination lol
Wow so breathtaking and yet there you have it people doing the same thing no matter where they are in the world enjoying company, relaxing, eating good food, staying warm/cool. All you need is some shelter and Mother Nature to appreciate the good things in life. Lovely to see polar bears I worry about their future. Thanks for posting.
i love watching your channel. You live in absolutely amazing place 😍 I love snow ❄ I am from Czech but live in Ireland. As you know not much snow here but this morning i wake up and we got 15cm snow 😁
Love watching it all, nature, the joy, fun in snow….. I lived for 5 years in an old farm house rental from a coal mine that had no furnace (split lots of cords of wood), no bathroom, that outhouse was not as nice as the one in your video. Fond memories. Of course your aerial videos always blow me away.
OMG. You 3 are so funny! I loved you riding the saucer and Christoffer stopping you. 💖You live on the edge of the world yet like to travel to another spot even more remote. The drone shot shows that THERE IS NOTHING ELSE AROUND .....yet exquisite in its beauty.❣
OMG. This is the Video. I put this video to my toplist. Every evening I look one of Ceciliaś video when I go to sleep. Now I watch this video every night. Here is everything. Grim, Snow, happy snowfeeling, polarbears, Grim, happiness snow.... Thank You!! There is the danger, but there is also joy!! Snow bath and sauna ...I loved. Kiitos. Thank You. Tack Så mycket!
Aww thank youuu! 🙏
Nice to learn about Svea. Airplane mode can be used even on the ground!!! it's good to unplug. i turned my wifi off a lot ❤
I enjoyed this video so much! I love being out in natIure. The remote, wide open expanse of snow, glaciers and mountain tops look amazing! You truly embody the nordic spirit of Friluftsliv.
Thank you Celina! Glad you enjoyed it! :)
OMG this video cracked me up! You exude so much joy & appreciation for life ~ It's something I need to strive more to doing. Most of us want at least running water when we go on vacation, but you don't mind it at all. Thank you for bringing us along, even though you were unplugged. It's just beautiful out there!
Marianna
Thank you Marianna!! 🧡
We can smell the coffee now. Mmmmm. ☕☕Love your channel 💕 grim is sooo happy just like you Cecelia. You just love life were ever you Are. Making people smile. You should wright a novel. Maybe about the mines ..and a young couple who fell in Love. And when the mine closed what happened to their lives. When one had to move away. If they ever saw each other again. !!! 💕 time to make another pot of your Delicious coffee. Yes please. And stoke the wood stove. Its going to be a great nite ! 🌃
I'm so happy for you that you're getting daylight again and that you were able to go on that trip. I can imagine the feeling of freedom you mean when you talk about snowmobiling. As lovely as everything looks up there, I guess without a snowmobile it would start to feel very small and restricting very fast. Thank you for sharing! 💖
Very much so! 😊😊
Simply beautiful, you, Christoff & Grim. I “listened” to the quiet where you are now…so peaceful. Just tranquility and beauty surrounding you! Enjoy it all of you! I love following up on your videos. 💜❄️❄️❄️💜
😊😊😊😊
Oh I would have enjoyed the silence and the snow ( those colors of the sky with all the snow ) as well as the beautiful landscape. The silence is something I long for living in a town and in a big apartment building. It's Saturday early morning, and it's quiet here. I'm laying in my cozy, warm bed, watching your video Cecilia in the dark, and the clock is 06.23. My cat Trollet lays besides me making me to hot acting like a furnace but I don't want to disturb him yet. Soon I have to get up and start my day with breakfast and coffee but also give Trollet his medicine. He has a thyroid gland problem, so he gets medicine twice a day with a syringe in his mouth. I enjoyed your video very much and it was nice to see you both / all three having fun in the snow! Hugs, Susanne and Trollet.
The closing scene of the mountain bathed in pink light will stay with me all day . Thank you
🥰
I am so addicted to your videos! I just love your family and Grimm! (And his brother!) you enjoy life like someone should! I wish I had your “get up and go!” You see the world as beautiful in every way ❤
I love your cabin get-aways. The feeling of remoteness, quiet, solitude and that you're a tiny speck in the world must feel other wordly and quite emotional. Wonderful to see you all having pure fun and Christoffer's beautiful smile. Grim is full of this same joy with his Mom and Dad who love him dearly. Can't wait for Part 2. So, so beautiful. Cecelia!
How nice, I can hear the quiet! Oh skiing and having Chris towing you with the snowmobile or even on the saucer would be a blast. That’s so nice that your friends will come the distance to hang out, even in the cold.
GOOD friends.
That was so so lovely of Christoffer to stay up all night to keep the fire going ; next time - bring an electric blanket.
Cabin has no electricity
Cecilia I enjoy your videos ,the way you love this life you have with Christopher and that weather all that snow and cold ..I would not like that ,I like spring ,summer ..fall ..but so enjoying the way you love this cold...making me appreciate winter a little bit..just a little lol..
Absolutely fantastic! A place unique in the world !
Wild and beautiful! Congrats Cecilia, great video!
Another beautiful video. The Landscape is absolutely amazing. Every day is different. It really is a special place to live and I hope one day I will have the chance to visit this amazing place.
What is amazing is how you maintain recording as you perform the activities that most of us could barely do with free arms. 😨😨
i feel like this would be my perfect life. so serene, especially this time of year with gentle snows and some light!! just perfect.
I would love to watch a video of you explaining how the cabin renting system you guys do works. Thanks for making awesome and positive content!
She's done it I wish I could remember which one it was lol
A bucket with a bag in it and a toilet seat on top. That reminds me of ice fishing, here in Wisconsin. Even the manufactured ice shacks with satelite TV and central heat with full kitchens have a bucket for a toilet.
Something so satisfying about watching you make your coffee before I make mine (good morning from Florida!), love how peaceful and beautiful your surroundings are. I couldn’t do the outside bathroom thing though 😂 . Enjoy your weekend!!❤️👍🏻🙂
hello from ireland.we love the videos and how well you present them.we also love nestling up in front of the fire with a cup of coffee and watching your life in paradise.keep up the good work
Your videos have become one of my happy places :). Thank you so much for sharing such uplifting, happy, beautiful and fun content. You, Christoffer and Grim are legends!
Looks so beautiful! My cat really enjoys (is afraid of?) Grim in this episode. She was enthralled the whole time.
Hahah 😍
That looks fun! I don't know if you can get it but proactive face wash every day lotion comes in a 3 pack plus repairing mask...small tube...put that right on your blemishes gone in a few days. I tried everything over the years...this is the only thing that worked. If you feel one coming the repair mask works super quick...never breakout.
Cecilia, with each video of yours I’m falling in love with this place more and more 😭♥️ u have a rare gift of conveying emotions through your video content. Role model. Thank you 🙏
Thank you so much! 🧡
Your last drone shot was so breathtakingly beautiful I can hardly believe it’s real! It’s so cool to see you and Chris having a great time. And the light is back, yay!!!
Gorgeous scenery, amazing footage of the wildlife. The music from 7:42 onwards, so beautiful. That toilet!! Yikes!! I couldn't imagine collecting my own sewerage and taking it elsewhere. 🤮🤢
It seems like being at the absolute end of earth. Love how quiet it is when it's snowing. Having fun and laughing is how to recharge and makes us more productive back in our "real lives". Grim looks so cute covered in snow❤
I love watching your videos. I’m the mom of the 3 kids in the picture. Our teenage son mostly runs this TH-cam channel. I find myself checking every couple days to see if you’ve posted a new video. We are from Illinois, USA. So, it’s super cool to hear you speak on what it’s like there in Svalbard.
As far as outhouses go, that is a very cozy and swanky outhouse!
I'm getting a little codependent...looking everyday for a new vid! Missed you, glad to see you both enjoying nature and each other.
🤣🧡🧡🧡
I check my TH-cam obsessively to see your next video, I love your vlogs so much. You and your little family just seem so kind and you guys are living a beautiful life. I am grateful to get to watch your experiences! Also, you definitely should make a vlog that is all about coffee :) thank you for posting!
I love the shot of the plain mountain and moon above. It looks pretty barren. What do the reindeer eat?
Grim loves snow games and sliding. ❄❄🌨
Your videos are visual ASMR. ❤️ Absolutely gorgeous!
Thank you, Cecelia, for posting the song links. Cody Francis song so pretty.
5 people is a lot of people. Love that!
I used to play in the snow for hours when I was a child. Thank you.
It is so much fun! 🤩
Cabin content; always great for a video
Considering how you have spoken about living in big cities and loved them it is fantastic to see your raw and unfiltered joy when you are "off-grid"
Sometimes we don't know how wonderful the simple things in life are until we experience them for ourselves
Sending happy thoughts to you, Christoffer and Grim!
Courageous. Lovely song, beautiful voice. Thank you, ❤️🐞
That beautiful land will never get old!!
Your videos bring me such calm in this
Crazy world 🌍, Thank you Cecelia,
I appreciate you guys so much 💞💞
Living the life Cecilia….thanks for taking me along on your cabin trip. Just wonderful!
It’s crazy how excited I have been for you to see a bit of daylight! Enjoy!
😍😍
Cecilia,I'm not jealous,I'm not jealous,I'm not jealous.Love your content,wonderful!
Cecelia I’m loving watching your channel , I can get lost in your wonderful best life x amazing … I found your channel twelve months ago then lost it ! Found you again and subscribed . Your family gives me such joy . Thank you 🇬🇧 💌🇫🇴
Yaaay thank youu!
Great you got away. Those drifts look like us today. Defeated purpose to clear to drive with 90km winds.
Looks beautiful there..
Grimm looks happy.
The scenery is absolutely stunning I have just stated viewing the video and I could not wait to say this! Cecilia it’s a just stunning the opening shots🤩!
This feeling of quietness is really special. 😊
What an amazing video ♥️! You really enjoy all the beauty in the nature of the snow ❄️ and the mountains ♥️..I loved you playing in the snow ❄️and the music was very pretty . Awesome cabin! Safe travels on your way back home…..💞😊💞
That was so much fun to watch! When you slid down that hill 14:33 trying to get back into the cabin was too funny! 😂 😍
I've been watching your channel for a while; it´s so amazing, interesting, beautiful, and clearly different from my perspective I decided to -eventually- visit Svalbard.... Well, I'm just BACK home form Svalbard :-) YES, Longyearbyen it´s a loooooong way from Buenos Aires, Argentina... but totally worth the effort. Thanks for inspiring us!
Oh YAAAY!!! How was it?! 🤩🤩🤩
@@CeciliaBlomdahl Great!... -too short- now I have to visit in summer! :-)
Snowmobiling has always be the same for me as well! It frees my mind so much, I love it.
Beautiful video! Love the serenity and solitude of the area. A few more bears than I care to see but as long as you don't mess with them they wont bother you for the most part. While the rest of the world is in chaos its nice to see there a few places left that are nice and peaceful. Keep Svalbard peaceful and quiet.
Thank you for that thorough explanation about Svea!❤️
Coal!! That means peat bogs and swamps were once there. What a change a few million years make!
Like little kids having a blast in the snow! Love it
Remote house looks really cosy. However, no electricity, gas heating. Just wooden heating? Good place for escaping from civilization 😊to meditate. Great to have friends at this remote place 👍☺️
You need "so cozy" merch... maybe like long sleeve sleep shirts & hoodies GOOD QUALITY HOODIES!!!
If I could live on a balmy island the rest of my life I would, but I love watching your snowy adventures!
You work so hard just to achieve day-to-day life, it inspires me to work harder in mine.
This is the opposite of clickbait -- you promise a snow bath and it's the opening shot of the video. I love it.
🥰🤩❄️
I love this video and the cabin. I have a place up north in East Tawas, Michigan, USA that I heat with wood. You need to keep that thing really rolling to stay warm....every hour. :) But it's soooo worth it.
That snow bath was too much. But with no bath why not. You are a brave woman. You and Christoffer have a very mellow and also exciting life. Hope you taped your friends visit. Stay warm. Where I live it was 80 degrees today. A bit too 🔥🥵. Enjoy your weekend.
Wow! Such an amazing place! Hope one day I might be able to visit Svalbard…am also reading the seven sisters, am on book 5 and really enjoying it. A hug from Brazil
Looks fun . That beautiful Snow , White with that pink sky ,is so cool !
Bonitos videos
Unos paisajes impresionante
Y gran fortaleza para poder disfrutar el frio
You are such a lovely couple. Very sincere, calm, laid back. Fun to watch. Makr me laugh too. Enjoy
You guys are some hearty souls ! I wouldn’t walk anywhere without my weapon where you are. Great video!
Wonderful to see your trip to the cabin and I must say that your laughing at yourself is so fantastic.
Yay, a cabin trip! I've been looking forward to this.
I absolutely love your channel, I truly enjoy watching your life ❤ Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! 🧡
Such beautiful videography. So happy for you to have fun on your getaway!
They are going to rewild. . how wonderful! As always beautiful
Grimm looks like he's at the beach! Those dogs love the winter. We had Siberian huskies in our house and they would always complain (whine) about not being able to be outside all the time in the winter.

Hello! Cecilia and Christopher. Thank you for a good video🙋♂️⛅
How absolutely beautiful your home land is. Thank. you for sharing it with us. You all are so fantastic. Love the puppy, too.
A wonderful getaway there, I was thinking nature is perfect in it's design even now seeing how the days get longer it is a gentle reintroduction for the eyes and brain to the sun again and no instant shock of light just perfect.
