I’m having a such a great time here in LA. Finally starting to settle in. It’s been quite busy 2 weeks, everything is of course new for me and I needed to get certain things fixed, bank stuff and all those fun things hehe. But now I think I have everything under control. Yayy.

I’m so happy with my agency here as well, they are really taking care of me. And I have started to go to a lot of castings, and that’s how it works here. Castings, castings and castings. I learn a lot from that. And soon I’m going to NYC for a few days for work with a big client. Super happy!

The weather is amazing here, I love it! This is just so me haha, the sun and the heat makes me so happy. I miss my boys super much though, all the time, but I will come back to Iceland for a visit over Christmas so it will be very nice to finally be with them soon. <3
I’m also very thankful to have many friends here, that helps a lot. And I never feel lonely haha.

Or at least for a while… Today I’m heading to Los Angeles for work as I finally got my visa. I will be there with Elite Model and I’m so excited to try this out!

I will try to travel back to Iceland as much as I can but in the beginning I will be there for a longer period. I will miss S and Knutur so much but I will at least see S in a month as he’s coming for visit. <3 

Yesterday was my last day here and I got some very nice weather so went on a nice and long walk with Knutur.

I will definitely update my blog as much as I can while I’m there, probably gonna be less cooking but many restaurant visits for sure! Perfect for your next travels to L.A.

Wish me luck all <3

You will see your batter getting curdled like the picture above, but don’t worry. It will be fine! So moist and delicious, definitely my favourite cake at the moment.

When I was in Maldives we stayed at the most amazing resort and the breakfast buffé they had was so good. And one thing I always ate was this orange cake. I had never tried it before but I got hooked directly. It’s so good and so moist! As soon as I got home I started to google it and finally found a good recipe. You need to try this cake out and it’s not hard at all! I promise you’ll love it.

You don’t really need to do the glaze, it’s just good as it is but I just thought it would look a little bit more fun and tasty.

YOU NEED: 

3 1/2 dl plain flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
110 gram butter (room temp)
2 1/2 dl caster sugar
3 large eggs
0.6 dl vegetable oil
1 1/2 dl fresh orange juice
1 tbsp orange zest, from one orange
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 tbsp black poppy seeds
0.7 dl milk

Glaze: 
2 1/2 dl icing sugar
3 tbsp orange juice (add a little at the time until a smooth glaze)

DO THIS: 

1. Preheat oven to 170° C and grease a loaf pan or 9 or 10 inch round cake tin with batter and bread crumbs.
2. Combine poppy seeds and milk and set aside for 30 mins.
3. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder and keep aside.
4. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time while continuing the beating.
5. Add oil, vanilla extract, orange juice, poppy seeds (with the milk) and orange zest. Mix well. You will see your batter is getting curdled, but don’t worry. It will be just fine!
6. Add in the flour mixture, in 3 batches at a time. Gently fold it in using a spatula. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan or tin.
7. Bake for 55-60 mins or until the toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
8. Remove from the oven and let it rest in the pan for 5 mins. Remove the cake from the pan and cool completely.
9. Do the glaze and pour it over the cooled cake.

ENJOY!!!! :)

Me, Birgitta , Linnea and her cutest little Tora got to try Hverfisgata 12 new brunch this weekend, or should I call it “The pizza place without a name”. The menu was very good, they had a lot of different courses which are ment to be shared and I just love that. You can just order in a few dishes and then you get the chance to taste more things.

My big favourite must be the Korean spicy fried chicken with kimchi, fried rice and egg. I love korean food and this was something different to have on the brunch menu and definitely a must try. But everything was very tasty and I definitely recommend to try them out. And the restaurant is very cozy as well. The only minus was the wait for the food, but we ordered quite many dishes at the same time so I guess they weren’t prepared for 4 super hungry girls haha. But as the food was very good it was definitely worth the wait. Can’t wait to come back. :)

Check out their website and menu’s -HERE-

I guess it’s never to early to make a wish list for christmas! Here is the first part of my “must haves”. I could do my list so long so I guess I’ll just need to cut it in parts haha.

1. The perfect backpack from Chloé, I love this one and can’t wait to have this one on my back while travelling around and exploring citys. And you can also use it as a handbag.
2. For those who follow me on IG might have seen I’ve been building up piercings on my ears, and I’m not finished ;) These ones are so nice and are from LuvAj.
3. The new perfect Rayban sunglasses. The old round retro ones are getting so “overused” so please get me these cool ones instead, quite similar style but still something different.
4. I’m in Love with these Monkey lamps!!! When I was in Sweden I wanted to buy them so bad but we didn’t have any space for them as they are quite big and clumsy to carry. But then I saw that Hrim have them too!!
5. I need more prints on my walls at home. This one would fit perfectly from Camilla Edfors.
6. Yessss, these sneakers from Axel Arigato are a must have.
7. I have been trying to find the perfect Leopard coat and here it is – from Scotch & soda–
8. I want that perfect RED handbag and this one is from Gucci. And I want it badly!
9. New bed- and pillow sheets in stonewashed linen. This is something I think is so boring to buy myself.. But the perfect gift! –from Winston Living–
10. Beautiful candleholders from Reflections Copenhagen, you can find them at –Snuran–
11. We need a new lamp over our dining table and I just love this one from –Snuran–

I looooove Avocados, I have probably mention that many times before.

I got so stuck on the “Avo shake” from “Joe & the Juice” awhile ago and bought it all the time. But I mean they use Vanilla milk, I have no idea what it contains but I thought I definitely can do a similar one at home and much more healthier.

YOU NEED:
1- 2 port

½ sliced frozen banana
2 avocados
2 dl almond milk
½ tsp vanilla powder
1 tsp lime juice
1 tbsp honey

DO THIS:

1. Mix everything together in a mixer until smooth, add more almond milk if it gets too thick. 

ENJOY!!!

Enjoyed Hobo hotels roof top bar called TAK. A must during the summer.  Me and S having fun with the camera at HOBO ;) Delicious truffle pizza and pasta at Taverna Brillo.  Strolling around the old town. <3  Perfect stay and dinner at hotel ‘at SIX‘. <3

Me and S had a wonderful two last days in Stockholm before heading back to Iceland. We met my friend Roslinda first day at Hobo hotel on their Roof top bar/restaurant, we were really lucky with the weather so we could sit outside. Can’t wait to visit this place during the summer. I guess it is a very popular place and the view is gorgeous over Stockholm.

We mostly just strolled around the city and enjoyed some good food. I also had a small shoot with the “at SIX hotel” jewellery collection which was super fun!

Now I’m back in Iceland after 1 month away. Was so nice to finally cuddle with Knútur and come back to my daily routine. Back to the gym and to a quite healthy lifestyle. ;)

A delicious vegan and gluten free cheesecake with a nutty base, nutella layer and a cinnamon “cheesecake”. The perfect cake you can store in the freezer and take out 20 min before serving.

It’s not difficult to make, you just need to prepare two things. You need to soak the cashew nuts in water over night and soak the dates at least 30 min in hot water. That’s it! :)

Pssst, save the water from the soaked dates, you will use that in the nutella layer. And I actually tripled the ingredients for the nutella and saved some in a jar for later use. It’s so good to use on your Acia bowls, porridge or with your pancakes! A much more healthier choice then regular nutella. 

YOU NEED: 

Base: 
12 soaked dates, pits removed
4 dl blanched almonds, roasted in the oven and cooled

Nutella layer:
16 soaked dates, pits removed
1 dl water from the soaked dates 
3 tbsp hazelnut butter
2 tsp cacao powder
2 tbsp coconut oil
2 tbsp almond milk
1/2 tsp salt

Cinnamon cashew cheesecake: 
400 gram raw cashews, soaked overnight
2 1/2 dl almond milk
1 dl melted coconut oil
1 dl agave syrup (or honey if not vegan)
3 tbsp almond butter
seeds of 1 vanilla bean
1 tsp cinnamon

DO THIS: 

Base:

1. Add the roasted almonds and the soaked dates to your blender and mix for about 30 seconds, until they turn into a sticky base.
2. Line a 9-23 cm pan with parchment paper, pour in the base mixture (save some for garnish) and press it down firmly.

Nutella layer: 

1. Add the dates along with the rest of the ingredients to your mixer and mix for a few minutes, until the “nutella” is smooth and there are no chunks of dates left (add more liquid if it gets too thick).
2. Pour the “nutella” over the base and spread evenly with the help of a spatula.
3. Place the pan in the freezer for a few minutes, while you doing the “cheesecake”.

Cinnamon cheesecake: 

1. Rinse and drain the soaked cashews.
2. Add them to the mixer and process for a couple of minutes, stopping a few times to scrape down the sides of the bowl. Process until the cashews turn into a smooth paste.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix for a few minutes until you get a rich, creamy mixture. Be patient and blend until the cashew cream is completely smooth.
4. Get the pan from the freezer and pour the cream over the nutella layer.
5. Gently shake the pan a little to even out the surface and remove any air bubbles that might be trapped in the cream. Garnish with the rest of the “base” mix.
6. Place the “cheesecake” in the freezer for at least 8 hours.
7. Remove the “cheesecake” from the freezer and let it stand for about 20 minutes before slicing it to pieces. You can then freeze the spices separately and just have a slice of cake whenever you want.

ENJOY! :)
