[@athollmcnicoll256]

Cecilia : I too use those type brushes and I'm a man but I use them as paint brushes for doing my "Futuristic Military Modelling" as they are super for dry brushing on large surfaces - similar to what you use them for on your face. Hi Grim - what was that you were thinking "Go away Mum as you are spoiling my outlook on life now that the clouds are breaking up and the sun will shine forth down on me and I do not need human inter-action." Cheers and hope you enjoyed your day!!

I was very much impressed with all the makeup brushes that you use! My goodness! You did a fantastic job with your makeup and I can see how working at the clothing store would be fun for you being able to go into town and get dressed up a bit. The store reminds me of a little store in Morro Bay California called Poppy which is right next to a little harbor. Grimm is so fluffy his face reminds me of my sable corgi River.

The shop looks like somewhere I would like to visit. 😁. Your skin looks beautiful. I was in Accutane twice. The best advice I ever got was to treat my skin as sensitive skin and not use any harsh cleansers or treatments which can be irritating, and it helped immensely.

[@CeciliaBlomdahl]

Such a good tip!! I do that now! I use nothing but one brand for sensitive, previous accutane users, and it really works wonders!

Hi Cecilia! A video idea: It could be so cool to see you visit Barentsburg and show us around, since as far as I understand it is the other "big" city on Svalbard, right? That could be so cool! Maybe talk with some people living there or something like that 💜 LOVE your videos!!!

Thank you for the daily dose of sweet Grim. I have a theory that he gets upset when you’re filming because he knows he doesn’t have your full attention. 😢 It’s so cute how you can tell exactly how he’s feeling. Looks like your sisters are both animal lovers as well. I noticed they both had one in the pictures you showed 😊 you always make me laugh.

Hi Cecilia, so glad we found your channel and have had a chance to do some slight binge watching. ;) We're creators too so don't watch too many other channels, but yours has fast become a firm favourite. We're a married couple from the UK, together for 23 years and now regular vloggers with shopping, recipes and our new allotment series. Svalbard is so incredibly beautiful, thanks for your introduction to it, and to you of course. You have a beautiful face, as a drag queen and someone who loves to do makeup (Paul), I would LOVE to glam you up some time. If you ever visit England let us know. :) Much love to you and yours. xx Paul & Jason.

Greetings from Spain.You are a inspiring Woman for me....So positive!! How beautiful IS the Sky today!! I use the same cleaner, It IS very good. A question , please Cecilia.Why there isn't any garages there?? Here, un my Town the temperatures are very cold in Winter and almost everybody has a garage.

[@Kowalski301]

Believe it or not, but cars cope with cold and darkness much better than sun/UV and heat, and almost no one has heated garages in the winter anyway. There is also no salt on the roads, almost no rain and very low moisture year round. And with only 40 km of roads in total on Svalbard, cars are just a tool you don't really use much (in terms of distance) so most of the cars are pretty old, cheap and rugged 4x4. So overall, garages are really not needed on Svalbard and won't in any way extend the life of the car.

[@mariacarrasco6394]
