How to Visit Oslo, Norway!

If you’ve been entertaining the idea to visit one of the Scandinavian countries soon – you’re in luck! I’ve included a few suggestions to plan a quick trip to the capital of Norway. This video is meant to give you a head start on creating your itinerary, or for a fast trip in the city of Oslo.

In this video, I let you know the places I visited during my few days in Oslo, and in my next video, we’ll cover how to see the Fjords. The friend I visited is from Oslo and helped me plan all my adventures. So, follow along if you’d like to see what a Norwegian suggested!

Oslo is a great place for a solo female traveler and is very easy to navigate. I highly encourage you to visit this beautiful Scandinavian country!

I’d love to know if you have any questions or suggestions for a trip to the beautiful Scandinavian country of Norway!

In light and love,

Holisitc Summer Favorites: Part I

The natural, green beauty products I’m loving this season. 

The search continues. I’ve compiled a list of the products I’ve been trying out to add into my organic and holistic routine.  

I don’t know about you, but the struggle is real for me to find products that are good (or at least neutral) for the environment and my body’s health, work like they’re supposed to, and won’t break the bank in the process.

In this favorites video, I cover my favorite dry brush (more on what that is for another blog!), hold hair spray, body lotion, amazing hand soap, mouth brush rinse, and a bamboo (for real) toothbrush.
 

I’d love to know if you’ve tried any of these out, or different brands of the same products that you’re loving (or what to avoid!).

In light and love,
Azahar
