I love how the ladies look amazing and the guys are in their finest flannel and trucker hats. 😂

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Hahah I love it! 🤩

[@diane9247]

Haha - yes! It's the same where I live. (Oregon, USA)

[@marshaannswaggerty8608]

It's like that in West Virginia, USA! 🤣🤣😂😂 Love this video!!! You are living your best life, lady!! 😊😊😊

[@ericablue32]

It’s that Svalbard swag. 😎

[@BagznBirdz]

But I love Christoffer doing his best model twirl and then clapping Cecilia's butt! 😂

[@mikehollabaugh]

I seriously love your commentary on everything (both live and as a voiceover). When you said to Mr. Grim "You're beautiful. A beautiful young man in his prime." I had to laugh because I talk to my dog the same way :)

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

hahah thank youuu! 😍 It's impossible not to tell them everyday how beautiful they are when they are as cute as Grim!! 🧡

[@theatremusician]

For showering, your house would be a perfect place to install an 8-10 litre re-circulating shower. Very simple to heat and uses minimal water. It's used in many custom built van RV's and seems to work really well.

[@oldmanofcotati]

Viking women are terrifying; and strong. Cecilia, your joy is contagious. Thank you.

[@crazydaisy8637]

What a lovely way to start my Sunday! Thank you for sharing your world with us! ❤

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you so much for watching! 😍

[@jocelynllamas6600]

I know this is an old video, and I'm very late on watching this, but you're definitely like a long-distance best friend. Ugh, you are a joy, Cecilia!

[@AliceLupin1]

I always love watching your videos. It makes me feel like I am just hanging out and chilling with a friend. Which is really nice, because I don't have anyone I can do that with. Makes me feel less lonely.

[@debbiefondow7871]

Love seeing you guys get dressed up and getting to spend time enjoying the company of your friends. Hard to believe you will be entering the Polar Nights soon. Such a magical time. ❤❤

[@athena12373]

I look forward to my Sunday mornings when I get to drink my coffee and watch your new video. Thanks for sharing your night out with us and your cozy Monday morning. I love how you appreciate the beauty right outside your door.

[@christmunzenmayer3468]

I don't like summer, so I suffer when spring is finishing. I live winter and fall and part of the spring.

[@juliojames5986]

Svalbard is so interesting ! You and your rental, Christopher also ! He is so covert, must be a good hunter. Night life in Svalbard, Coffee, Shoping, Grim, the space in the cabin with no hot water, also a great space, excellent views…..Drones, cameras, boat, hiking, harsh weather……you master it all. Thanks

[@amstergal]

This video has a different mood for some reason and I loved it. I can feel the polar nights just around the bend! ❤ Feel so fortunate always to have your beautiful Svalbard Life in my life. ❤

[@ZanaRahman]

You said it perfectly! It’s like almost living it with her without actually being there which is amazing

[@cj4607]

[@jens7898]

"lockdown" is a PRISON term. Stop using it. Stop using THEIR disgusting social engineering language. Call it what it is a STRATEGIC ILLEGAL GOV'T SHUTDOWN of the ECONOMY to redistribute the wealth to THEM. They shut down independent businesses giving mkt share to large corps.

[@PhoebeGrigor]

@@jens7898 Lockdown is term that we use in New Zealand so I’m sticking with it bud! It’s not illegal because there’s legislation for it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Several years ago, I made my own Porta Shower for camping. It works great! The landscape is so spectacular!

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Porta Showers are genious! They save so much water 😍

“Because everyday can be any day .” We need this on a t shirt! 🥰

[@wendi2819]

I'm watching the episode where your old floor came up. I hope there was enough of it and some of your other discards you could offer on your Facebook marketplace page or to friends who might be able to use it/them since it's so expensive to get shipments up there. Your new home is truly incredible. You guys worked really hard. Your contractors were amazing too!

[@Kdrive23]

Reminds me of a popular song from the 90's: "Saturday night and the moon is out, gonna head on over to the Twist & Shout". Get yer party on, girl!

[@melziep8680]

So excited to see your new post 😊 Loving your cosy cabin - those fairy lights are gorgeous! Doggy hug for Grim🤗

[@badgerpa9]

Nice video Cecilia. Grim was doing his shift to protect the house from the animals outside. I feel for Christopher being the only sober person around a group of "spirited" people can be interesting. Are you not able to make a walkway from the home to car parking? I see it is tundra and assume you cannot cover it. Stay safe and healthy.

[@pamcomer5728]

Yayyyy you have running water 💧 fantastic, You look gorgeous, great to see you and Chris going out to meet friends, Grim being his usual cute self, and Svalbard being beautiful 😍 💖 ❤

[@jaybee608]

Always a nice time with friends. I now know something for sure after watching your videos. I have to have sunshine to mentally survive. I would become melancholic and will need at least 3 Christopher's and three Grims! I always come for the zen. Your home is like a hug, just cozy!

[@luvhart]

Svalbard without snow reminds me so much of the western coast of Ireland. Rugged and mountainous and facing the unpredictable Atlantic Ocean……so idyllic. I’m really enjoying these videos.

[@natalieunis5122]

I’d love to hear about the barriers to getting actual running water down to the cabin! Another great video 😌

[@pauladixon9003]

Hubby and I (from Maryland, US) met our friends for drinks and dinner (in Ewing Township, New Jersey, US) last weekend. It was wonderful to have a night out like real grownups. LOL I hope you all enjoyed your evening with your friends, too! 😊

Hi Cecelia, I discovered your channel earlier this summer and have been hooked ever since. My husband is now hooked also! Thank you for sharing your beautiful part of the world to our Missouri home. Your cinematography is breathtaking. I remember you mentioning before about Christoffer being a chef in the past. We'd love to see some videos with him cooking.

As an observation, it's interesting how well maintained Svalbard is (in context). It's a compliment to Norwegian mentality. I've been watching videos about Adak and Little Diomede island (both remote parts of Alaska) and both are...well, desolate.
