Music Monday: WDSTCK



Hello there! It's another Music Monday here on my blog, and I hope your ears are ready to hear some new music. Today I'm presenting you with a with a band I found last year. A friend were playing one of their songs at a party, and I immediately had to ask him about who it was. The song he was playing is called Flowers, and it's the one I'm sharing with you guys today! The group is called WDSTCK, but other than that there's not much information to find about them online. However I did find out that they're located in Bergen, which is where I'm (almost) from!

Whenever I hear a really good song I've never heard before, I always assume that the artist or band is from another country. Which is why I was really surprised when I learned that the creators of this song are from Norway. They make modern eloctropop, but I don't really know how to describe this song, if I'm honest. It's just such a fun, upbeat and cool song, and it's perfect to listen to pretty much at any time and place. My words aren't really doing it justice, so you should let the music do the talking. Enjoy!

VIDEO: Travelling in the Netherlands




A little video from when I was travelling around the Netherlands last summer. While editing this I realised that I want to vlog this summer as well, even though I'm not travelling anywhere. It's a fun way to capture memories, and I really enjoy editing videos. Even though I can tell my editing skills are a bit rusty at the moment... I'll get better in time, just need a little practice. Also, I know I don't have a lot of readers, but let me know if vlogging is something you'd like me to do? Just from time to time, when I feel like it's interesting or fun for you to watch. A little feedback is always nice, right? Says the girl who rarely comments on other people's blogs... haha. I'm working on it! Have a nice day!

Music Monday: Maverick Sabre

A few years back I was sitting at school with two of my classmates. It was lunchtime, but we were still sitting in our classroom just eating and hanging out. We all wanted to listen to music, but it was at a very early stage of our friendship. So no-one wanted to play their music in case the other two didn't like it. We eventually persuaded Marius to play one of his playlists because we knew he had good taste in music. After a few songs I heard one that I found particularly interesting. It had such a chill vibe to it, like you could listen to it all day without getting tired of it. We actually did that at school once, and we had it on repeat until someone eventually complained.

The song is called I need by Maverick Sabre. However, it's not the original version, so it's not on Spotify or anything like that. Which is also the reason why I have been searching for it for so long, and today I finally found it again! I squealed when I found it, that's how excited I was, haha. I hope you'll like it as much as I do!

Music Monday: Astrid S


I feel like today's Music Monday has been a long time coming, because this girl is one of my absolute favourites. You might not have heard of Astrid S before, but I can assure you that you will. She's a 19-year-old singer/songwriter from Norway. A few years back she placed 5th in the Norwegian Idol, which shocked a lot of people at the time. However, it's common knowledge that you don't have to place 1st in a singing competition to do well in music. Since then she's developed her music a lot, and I'm loving it. She's featured on Shawn Mendes' song Air, and this spring she's going on tour with Troye Sivan in Europe! So proud of this girl.

I've chosen two of my favourite songs by her, 2AM and Dust. The last one is "only" featuring Astrid S, but she did co-write the song. I always turn up the volume when she's on the radio, so I really hope you'll like her music. Check it out!

Let's talk about hair

Throughout my teenage years I've had many different haircuts. I loved trying out new things, and whatever I chose to do with my hair I always loved the results. I've had a side-swept fringe, normal fringe, long hair, short hair, bob, sidecut and so on. When I was around 16 I decided not to cut my hair short anymore, which eventually resulted in this:


All of these photos was taken in 2014 when my hair was at it's longest. I loved my hair back then, and it was honestly my favourite part of my appearance. My confidence was at it's peak whenever I had a good hair-day, but this also meant that my confidence was low if I bad hair-day. Right now my hair is not that far from being the same length as in the pictures above. I don't know what's happened since then, but I can't remember the last time I had a haircut and actually being pleased afterwards. Somehow my hair has now become my least favourite part about my appearance. Why? Well, I keep jumping back and forth between wanting long and short hair. I can't seem to go through one day without both liking and disliking my hair. Luckily my confidence doesn't depend on my hair anymore, but it's still something that annoys me almost every day.

The last time I cut my hair kinda short was in May last year, and I remember going home crying afterwards. Not because my hair didn't look good (it actually looked great), it just wasn't what I wanted after all. See, this is the downside about being indecisive like me... It's got to a point where I don't really think it matters which haircut I choose, considering I'll most likely regret it afterwards anyway. So I might as well try out something new?


I've been toying with the idea of cutting my hair short again. Not as short as when I had a bob, but still shorter than any haircut I've had since I was 16. As you can see in the pictures above, it's kind of a big change. A change which I'll most likely regret. However, I'll probably also regret it if I end up choosing a mid length haircut. Aaah decisions... If you have any thoughts, please let me know. I'll keep you posted on whatever I choose.

Music Monday: Childish Gambino

You know when a friend introduces you to a new artist or band, and you instantly fall in love with them? The artist I'm about to introduce you had that exact effect on me. I was sitting at university with two of my friends last week, just talking and listening to music. One of my friends mentioned a rapper called Childish Gambino, which I'd never heard of before. So we put on some of his songs, and after about 30 seconds I was dancing (as much as you can dance while sitting, that is) to his music, so that's saying something. I've loved every song I've heard so far, but I chose two of my favourites to share with you. I hope you'll enjoy his music as much as me!
