I can’t even tell you how wonderful it feels to soak some sun again. A short (okay, not that short) plane ride from winter cold Norway, and suddenly we’re in sunny Lanzarote with 27 degrees and not a cloud in sight. This is my first time doing a charter trip during wintertime, but it will definitely not be the last. That moment when I first stepped foot outside of the airplane, and a heatwave came at me.. Ahh, fantastic!!
Our plane was delayed because of the storm that’s been going on though, and I hadn’t slept even one minute the night before leaving. That obviously resulted in a very tired Cath, and when I’m tired, I have very little control on what comes out of my mouth, even if I’m sleeping. Oh yes, I managed to talk in my sleep on the plane, and I pray to God that no one heard our conversation!
Me: Do you have the password for the flower kingdom???
Sis: Uh, what?
Me: The password for the flower kingdom!! I need it now!! Don’t you work at CTU?
Haha, someone has clearly watched too much 24! For those of you who don’t know the show, the main characters work at CTU, and they always need a lot of passwords. Not to the flower kingdom though, that one was new. It sounds like a pretty cool place! The weird thing is that I remember the conversation, I was asleep but still awake. Weird!!
So anhwho, we arrived here last night, and we’ve just soaked in the sun all day, and I even got some color! It’s mostly on the red-scale though, but color is color, even though I sort of look like a lobster. This whole charter thing is usually something that doesn’t interest me all that much, I prefer to go to new places and explore on my own. But it is pretty fantastic, I have to say. It’s just no stress at all, just relaxing and gathering energy from the sun, eat, sleep, then repeat. Lovely! Today I read the former blogger Linnéa Myhre’s book ‘Evig Søndag’, which was great. I’ve been very lucky in my life, and haven’t had to deal with any struggles worth mentioning, so reading about how a deeply depressed mind in an anorexic body works was very interesting. So many dark thoughts, I can’t even imagine how it must be too live with them.
Okay, now I’m really just rambling, I was just gonna share these status rapport pics from my day before I have to finish an interview with VG that I need to send tomorrow morning.
Doesn’t it look nice? The hotel is huge, it’s like a little village, with nine different pools, many different restaurants, a free bar, tennis courts and everything you could wish for on a charter trip, hah.
I’m so glad I did lash extensions before I left, because doing my makeup now takes like three minutes, which is perfect for vacation. The lashes are done by the lovely Karen Austin, the same woman who did my sister’s lashes for her wedding (check out the post and read more about her here). She’s such a sweet lady, talented and a quick worker. It seems like most girls think the more, the better, when it comes to lash extensions, but I actually like them best after 2-3 weeks, when it looks more natural. So this time I asked Karen if she could do a very natural look on me, and it didn’t even take an hour. I love the result!
Now I really have to do that intverview, hah. I hope you’ve all had a fantastic weekend♥

Ser helt fantastisk ut! Jeg har et spørsmål angående reality showet, du ble spurt om å bli me på i NY. Tenker du noen gang over hvordan livet ditt kunne ha vært om du sa ja? Kunne du fortalt litt mer om hele prosessen? Hvordan du ble kontaktet/oppdaget osv? Syns det var veldig interessant, hehe:)
cathrineheienberg says
Jeg tenker egentlig ikke på det nei :) Jeg ble kontaktet av en agent, sendte inn video der jeg fortalte om meg selv, og møtte henne i NY. Hadde møte med E! der jeg ble fortalt at det ville være scripted, showet skulle ha en ‘bitch’, men jeg kunne få rollen som hun alle betrodde seg til siden jeg ikke er kranglete av meg, og masse sånn. Mistet helt lysten til det etter det møtet, og det gjorde de andre jentene som var aktuelle for showet også :) Tror det aldri ble noe av. Glad for at jeg ikke ble med ihvertfall :)

Karina says
Å, kunne nesten kjenne varmen slå imot meg…og lukten av sommer og sol… Litt missunnelig kan du si! Har ikke vært borte fra Bergen på halvannet år:S Måtte derfor bare legge igjen en kommentar og si KOS DEG!
Susanne says
Hei Cathrine!! Så herlig det ser ut, veldig misunnelig.. Jeg leste posten om vippe extensions, og siden jeg bor I Bergen, på Skjold faktisk haha, så lurte jeg på hvor mye du betaler for det? Har lenge tenkt på vippe extensions, og vil det skal bli gjort skikkelig.
Kos deg masse videre i varmen, nyt hver dag til du kommer hjem til julekaoset! Og god jul når den tid kommer! :-)
Klem

Hvordan fungerer vippene med vann? går det greit å dukke hodet under og gni deg i øynene? de var veldig fine, ser kjempe naturlig ut :)
Martine says
Den boken leste jeg også sist jeg var på charter, hihi :) Synes den er veldig bra, spesielt fordi jeg leste bloggen til Linnea fast og at jeg kjente meg igjen i mye av det hun følte.
Kari J says
Så pen du er! :)
cathrineheienberg says
Takk snilling :*
cathrineheienberg says
Ja, den var nok ekstra bra for oss som leste bloggen fast. Sterk lesing!
cathrineheienberg says
Jeg har faktisk ikke badet enda, men det pleier å svi litt i dusjen så jeg kan tenke meg at det ikke er veldig behagelig å dukke hodet under vann. Det er nok ikke så lurt å gni seg i øynene med vippeextensions på. Jeg pleier heller å presse forsiktig med et håndkle på, uten å gnikke noe. Takk :)
cathrineheienberg says
Heihei :) Så morsomt, da er vi jo nesten naboer vi da. Denne gangen fikk jeg det sponset, men ellers koster det ca 1500kr. Karen er utrolig flink, så det er du garantert en skikkelig jobb. Og så er hun så søt!! Anbefales :)
Tusen takk skjønne du! God jul til deg også <3 Klem
cathrineheienberg says
Bergen er veeldig koselig i juletiden da, så håper du koser deg hjemme selv om det er kaldt og surt :) Tusen takk <3
