Two of my favorite things.

Bought these two rings over the weekend from H&M, and the best part was that they only cost me 99 Kr..
Cheap in my country I can assure you....

Bought anything recently that you really love?
Leave me a comment...

Have a great day...

Great blogging quote: 

 “Be open to trying to new things, but don´t fall of the bleeding edge” – I learned this lesson some time ago, and since then started my blog again… What I mean is…if you have a clear vision for your blog… Stick to it, and don´t let it run to wild…you will loose focus. Have a great day.

Ask Carrie an advice column.

Ask Carrie 

This time coming to you from sunny Melbourne Australia were Merzedes Benz fashion week is just over, and spring summer is around the corner. 

 I was talking to some girl friends the other day over some coctails about what beauty essentials a girl aught to have in her bag at all time. 

 Since we all pretty much shop online these days these are all products that you can easily find, and Google yourself. Nothing big just a few products you might want to check out. 

1. Eight Hour cream from Elisabeth Arden. 

A girl should never leave the house without at least one tube for those crusty lips. 

 2. A good gloss for some sexy mouth on mouth action – I am in love with Juicy Tubes in Mango. 

3. Some lotion for dry hands. 

 4. Water – yes drink a lot of water- it helps the body to flush out toxins. 

 5. A good mascara for some touch ups. 

These are only my tips...

 If you have any suggestions? Have a great day.

Who is the girl in Oslo?

Hi all. 

I was sitting here working on a new guest post when it suddenly hit me. 

Maybe some info about me on my own blog was a good idea to put in as a page. Some people know who I am, but not many...As DJ Myles would say "the girl is incognito", and quite frankly I like it that way...it keeps my readers guessing....

However it may be a good idea to add some details...

So here goes.

I am a 32 year old woman from Oslo, that have been blogging since 2009. The posts/photos I write/take are from Oslo, and how wonderful the city is. Don´t get me wrong my city experiences problems/challenges like every other capitol around the world but for the most part it works well. Most of the people living here love Oslo with all their hearts... 

Me myself I live on the west side of the city. 

Here you can find some great Shopping/photo galleries/museums and awesome coffee - stockfleths shops (press the last link, and be taken to my nr one coffee place my great city has to offer.)The capitol has really changed over the last couple of years,and we are slowly but surely becoming a lot more urban/hip....

If there is anything you would like me to research, and post about please let me know through the blog or e-mail me:

modesty1972@hotmail.com

Thanks for reading.

love the girl in Oslo
p:s this piture was taken quiet some time ago,and is part of my coffee guide to Oslo series ....

Sunday Dj - Dj Myles and the Nakedsoul Radio Show

Nakedsoul Radio Show Dec 27th 2010 by The Nakedsoul Radio Show on Mixcloud

Listen to this man, and fall in love.

I got a blog mention by Dj Myles.

Photo from: http://thegirlaboutoslo.blogspot.com/

Hi All,

This is a first of a series of new categories for my blog.. There are some topics which do not relate directly to music that I’d like to write about and have been reluctant to do so … so far. So I’m taking the plunge here in the hope that you’ll find them interesting and that as these posts grow in number, they won’t seem out of place on the rest of my site.

One of my daily reads is a blog written by “The Girl In Oslo”. The blog features articles on life, inspiration, music and photography amongst other content. There is an artistic quality to the site which is strengthened by the fact that the Girl is incognito; you’re reading about someones life and experience without actually knowing their identity. Quite unusual and very intriguing.

In some way, I also personally feel a connection to the Geography … I spent a lot of time travelling to Nordic Countries with my job. Despite jetting into Oslo several times and travelling to various locations in the Country, I never really got the chance to explore as my days were filled with Airports, Offices and Taxi rides. I have always vowed to return and see more of what I felt I had been missing. Perhaps The Girl in Oslo is helping to fill the gap for me?

Head across to The Girl in Oslo to check out the blog for yourself. There’s a growing tips section for bloggers there, which I’ve learned a lot from. The Girl also has some cool friends on her space to check out too.

Hi all:)

Today the girl in Oslo got a mention on a blog,and by a DJ she has listened to for years.Dj Myles and The Naked Soul Radio show is something she has listened to for years, and loved so much.    

The show have been played at work/home/to from work/at the gym...

You get the picture?

Thank you so much Dj Myles for the mention, and I was brought to tears when reading the post on my way to work this morning:)By the way I am loving the blog turn Myles...keep it up!

Have a great day everyone....

Some points to think about if you want your blog to grow over time.

• -       Blogg every day or as often as you can.
• -       Think quality in both photos, and the written word – never be happy with status quo.
• -       Check your spelling as often as you can .
• -       Make your content relevant to your site – don´t do post on tomatoes of you are in fact writing about bananas.
• -       Don´t write more then about 200 words in one paragraph.
• -       Have both writing/photo in each post.

I have a better blogging plan now days.

Hope you like what I am doing this time around !

If you have any tips you would like to share…email me.

Have a great day:)

Blogging : Personal sites versus non personal sites.

Personal sites versus non personal sites:

There are a few blogs out there that I read on a regular basis, and for some reason they are all filled with very personal info like the theblondesalad - on a boat trip.Information and pictures that I would have a hard time sharing if I started to really think about the consequences. For instant anyone can download as much of your content as they want, and you loose control over every piece of information on that one post. The person downloading can then use that photo/writing for anything they want…and you can end up on a porn site….That would never be my idea of fun…

However when you do look at these really personal sites they have a few points in common that makes me rethink the whole idea of a non personal site.

Here comes a few points these bloggers have really understood.

Your site gets:

-       More or less instant fame

-       Many more followers then non personal sites

-       A lot more hits, and better Google ranking

-       Many reactions from readers, and overall a lot more activity,

-       More business coming the bloggers way, and faster.

-       Many more opportunities

What do you think?

Love from the girl…
