I really love the "day in the life" videos. So fun to see how others in different parts of the world get thru their daily lives. Seems everywhere people are dealing with post office issues! Doggie loves to Grimm, get better❤

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you so much for watching! 💕💕💕

[@christine9122]

I never get bored of your videos. I love seeing the life in Svalbard.

Running errands doesn’t seem so bad when the surroundings are so stunning 🤩 🤩🙈

I agreee!! 🤩

I hope Grim feels better. 😘

Loved this one Cecilia, post edit was on point ! Btw - you may find it funny but a lot of people would love to see the 10min drive from the cabin in real time (with a verbal overlay) rather than a speeded up version. People are enchanted with your life so try not to ‘fast forward’ through it - just a thought..

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Thank you sooo much!! Oh wow, that is great input! Sometimes I'm unsure of what is interesting to see and end up speeding it up or cutting it out. I love input like this so thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@roggansson]

@@CeciliaBlomdahl Jo nu hann man ju knappt se grannarnas hus o hamnen osv. vore även kul om du visade mer av staden. Allt är spännande. Nybygget är också superintressant o få följa. O dom extrema stormarna när huset låter som det ska blåsa bort.

It’s nice to see how trusting the town is! Leaving my car running is something I definitely could not do where I live 😅

[@amyeitelberg1598]

Oh no! Poor Grimm! I hope he is feeling better!

[@aurorabyrd6104]

So I'm learning Norwegian right now, and while it's still an extremely basic understanding, every now and then, I'll catch a phrase on a building or just somewhere in the video, and it's the best feeling of, "Hey! I can read that!"

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Ohhh fun!! Keep up the good work! 🤩

[@possumgator]

Is it difficult to learn? I've been thinking about it.

[@ferrarif3408]

haha, same! Honestly a fun language to learn, a nice change to the regular spanish + french i've done before.

[@ferrarif3408]

@@possumgator it's actually not too difficult compared to other languages, it has similarities to english and the grammar/structure is fairly similar, you should honestly give it a try

[@melissarobinson9618]

Another day in Svalbard; beautiful, chilly but always heartwarming and inspiring because we see what Cecilia sees.🤩 ⭐Give Grim puppy some honey to make him feel better, it's the best remedy I can think of if it's just a mild cough🤒 (I don't know if Manuka honey from NZ makes it into Svalbard but it's the most beneficial)

Thank you for sharing your day with us! It might seem mundane to you but it is so special to us to follow a sunny lady around in such stunning surroundings. Your cheery, happy attitude is so refreshing. You seem like such a lovely young woman and it gives my heart a lift when you post a video. Have a wonderful next few days and stay safe. Love to you and Kris and dear Grim (such a precious doggy) xx

Your videos are such an escape for me. It is so beautiful there. I hope Grimm feels better soon!

I am excited for you and Christopher on you addition to your home. Can't wait to see it all done!

[@greekchickie]

I"m just about caught up with ALL your previous youtube videos & I don't know what on Earth I will do with my time after that! :) Thank you for bringing such joy into my online time! :)

[@MothraMissWorld]

Obsessed with your nails they’re so lovely!!

[@tjgoldstein73]

Christopher.. a man of few words but the way he looked at you when you wound down the car window.. that was just everything.

[@jimaanders7527]

Thank you for the tour including the post office. I'm impressed how, even though Longyearbyen is a small town in a remote location, it seems to be very modern and complete. Since you get orders in three days to a week, that is as fast as I get things in Dallas.

[@jpwhataboutit]

Security was thinking that they needed to inspect one of the "lights" packaging since no one needs three boxes of fancy lights. Ummm, my girl Cecilia does!!!! She is redecorating and knows what she likes!!! Great video again Cecilia!! Would love to see you take Grim and drive around your home on the snowmobile. I usually get depression when we enter the winter season here in Michigan, but your videos are teaching me to find the beauty in it all. Thank you so much!!

[@Nayomee1213]

No matter what is going on around me, I am guaranteed a beautiful respite when I receive your new video notification!! Thankful to you for the wonderful break! It's like sharing a hot cup of coffee with a friend, with the added bonus of beautiful landscapes, and GRIM!! 💖💖💖

[@johnbanoub9798]

Wonderful video. I'm loving all the b roll. Having the static camera set up when you entered the cabin was great! Also, love the drone shots (on prior videos). I appreciate all the small details going into the filming :)

[@Jojomurr2023]

Wow I’ve been replaying videos from before i discovered your account. Absolute pleasure you’re content is my very favorite. You’ve taken over my top favorite, congratulations and best wishes to continuous success as it’s well deserved girl.

[@suejackson6625]

I have noticed other people now vlogging about Svalbard but you definitely put Svalbard on the map - keep up the great vlogs, you should open a guest house and we could all come and stay!

[@TheKlh54]

Gorgeous views! And even here in the states we endure the same sorts of shipping weirdness 😄

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

haha! Why is shipping so difficuuuult 😂

[@marythr2617]

8:22 the way he looked at you. That is pure love right there hehe. No way to hide that.

[@cr2822]

I really enjoyed the drive into town with you on your errands. Thank you for sharing. I can’t wait to see your cabin after the renovations. I hope Grim continues to feel better.

[@2pie2mash]

Your choice of music with your editing is spot on Ms Blomdahl.........but I only watch these videos because of Grim 🤗 (there its done I have to be honest 😂😂 ) not the snow, scenery adventures, cabin extension, cod fishing trips, hotel stays, snow and blizzard storms, polar bears, old mine, Longyearbyen shops and school,snow mobiles, launderette, gym and shower visits.....never seen any of that😉 😉 😉 ...hugs from me to Grim and to get well soon 🧡 (ps love your videos and say Hi to Krisstopher too)

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

hahah! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💕💕

[@blackbird5138]

Even when you are in the midst of a storm Svalbard is beautiful. We have rural areas here where you pick up at the post office too. Hope Grim feels better soon.

[@jaimeknoble3315]

I was so relieved when you loaded your packages on the snowmobile to take to the house! I kept thinking what a long walk that would be carrying such big boxes 😂😂😂

Maybe next time you do your nails you can film a little and show us where you get them done at 💕

At Maison du Grim, quality guaranteed.

[@KRSims-tr7zj]

It's so fascinating to see such a different landscape from where I live, but something so familiar as watching someone put on their mask before going inside the post office. I love how you've decorated the inside of your cabin and can't wait to see all the lights put up. Also, I would travel all the way to Longyearbyen just to give Grim some ear scratches and belly rubs!

[@coelhofamily]

The amount of construction is amazing!

Yes, you do always say how beautiful it is there. Because it is! The weather you are having now is what I expected it to be like in December/January. The surrounding mountains look so soft covered in snow and the sea looks stunning. I have a cough just like Grim at the moment, I’m waiting for the results of a COVID test, fingers crossed it’s negative 🤞Christoffer looked so pleased to get a decent coffee, he has such a beautiful smile. I hope the lights arrive soon and you are getting closer to the extension being complete. Take care and enjoy life in Svalbard, an island close to the North Pole 😂😂😂

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

It's funny because December/January isn't really our proper winter, and doesn't always guarantee snow! This time of year is our main winter 😍 Hoping your test is negative!!! Thank you so much for watching and commenting 💕
