Possibility
The video looks best in HD and full screen mode Today was like this. The audio track is from way back in 2010, when I recorded it in one take in a tiny rehearsal room using a portable recorder. It’s just me and the piano, nothing fancy, but I quite like it anyway. The video...
A February list
Today is the first day in a very long time that I’ve felt like a living person again. To celebrate, here’s my February list (inspired by this). 1. How old will you be in five years? Thirty. And I’m determined not to be upset about that. 2. With whom did you spend at least two...
Merry Christmas! (and ooh, look, Christmas presents)
Merry Christmas, my darling kittens! I hope you’ve all had a lovely, lovely time so far? I certainly have, with lots of chocolate, Buffy and general merrymaking here in Harstad, my home town. I’ve also received absolutely wonderful Christmas presents. Let’s take a look at some of them, shall we? First, the perfect everyday leather...
Thursday/Yesterday
Bright and early, up 7.30 am for a meeting. Don’t let the picture fool you, that light comes from a lamp nearby, not the sun. It’s usually pitch dark around this time, which makes it almost impossible to get out of bed. I tend to watch Pixiwoo videos while eating breakfast. This Katy Perry tutorial...
Polyvore: Working Maria
All polyvores by me, click the images for more info No, not as in working-the-streets-Maria, but simply at-work-Maria. In case you’re somewhat new here, work for me is at the fashion consultant department of Imageakademiet in Oslo, teaching PhotoShop (and sometimes other subjects) and guiding students as they work with their styling portfolios. There is...
I’m still here
Yes, still here, just a bit… well, you know. Blue. The problem is that once you haven’t blogged in, say, two weeks, it feels like your next post has to be super-epic to make up for your absence. But because of the reason for your absence, a super-epic post just isn’t doable. That doesn’t mean...
About confidence, honestly
A zillion hugs and puppies to Maja for being such an amazing friend and creating the illustrations for my text. Honestly, that girl is the best, and I think you should all name your first-born babies after her. Or at least leave her one of those lovely comments you all do so well. Oh, and...

I’m 25!
That’s right, darlings, yesterday I turned 25! Quite a milestone, really, although I don’t feel very different, though perhaps a bit more in love with the world and how lovely people can be. I’ve never been very excited about my own birthday, but this year was pretty much perfect. Lots of greetings from an incredible...
This is unreal
If you haven’t heard yet, click here I am so glad everyone I know are safe. I am so sad there are people who aren’t. Oslo is the only city I have lived in that has felt 100% mine, even more so than Harstad (my home town, where Cookie and I are at the moment)....
Fun day at Makeup Mekka
Today was great! Makeup Mekka has this great offer the whole summer, where you get to attend any of their makeup courses for free if you’re a fan of them on Facebook (you can even bring a friend for free, too). I’d signed up for their basic course,which takes you though everything: foundation, eye makeup,...
Graduation
My class and the teachers had a lovely party the evening before graduation. I wore my new pink wig (almost like Scarlett in Lost in Translation, except mine is a bit longer), and a dark smokey eye, and the class assistant gave us all diplomas – you know, like “Grandma of the year” or “The...
