A useful post

These days I feel I want to give back to society.
A contribution of some sort.
So I decided to share the things which make my life better, easier and keep me safe.


  1. Shoe spikes. The only possible way to survive walking on ice unless your skating/ skiing skills are really good.
  2. Tran oil. Whatever you have heard of its mood boosting properties is absolutely true. I'm the living example! Increase the dosage gradually until it has an effect within two three days. Ask your doctor if you are afraid, from what I know it is pretty safe up to a ridiculous amount. For me the magic number is two big spoons per day. 
  3. Woolen socks. Well this is one of the first advice you get when you arrive in Norway but still I have to include it here.
  4. Silk undershirt. Woolen is also good but not if you suffer from acne.
  5. Salad spinner. The leafy greens here are too sensitive to wash them long before consumption and let them dry.
  6. Wake up lamp. Nothing ever will replace the natural morning light but it is at least something!
  7. And in general lots of lamps. I haven't tried the special lamp which is supposed to help you with seasonal blues. But it is in my wish list for this winter. 
  8. Genuine leather shoes. Never ever buy leatherette even if the insulation looks super warm. 
  9. Backpack for everyday. No, seriously, you really need your hands free to keep your balance walking on ice or extent them when you fall- because you surely will.
  10. Exercise. Pause. Yes, I know it is not an item and you might hate it. But keeps your body warm, lifts your mood, do you good. Choose something fun said a very dedicated former coach potato! ;-)
I really take my vows on these items! :)
