1
good morning guys and welcome to a new vlog i'm
2
so happy to see you i am on my way to
3
go have a little cozy breakfast at this place in Copenhagen called Hans.
4
I just have to bring you guys along because it is truly my favorite spot in Copenhagen.
5
They have a few locations but this is a place where you can have the best BMO in Copenhagen.
6
I haven't been like the biggest fan of BMOs
7
if I'm being honest because usually the cafes in Copenhagen don't offer jam with the bun
8
and I feel like it's just a little bit dry
9
and salty and without the jam it's not that good but let me tell you this place truly makes the best one.
10
I literally think about this breakfast every single morning.
11
I actually have a book that I want to finish today.
12
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante.
13
Oh my goodness guys, I think this might be one of my all-time favorite books
14
and I was not expecting that when I started reading it because it took me a while to get into it.
15
So it follows these two girls who are living in Naples and it follows their friendship throughout four books.
16
So this is the first book and it starts pretty early
17
when they're quite young and I just wasn't sure
18
if I was gonna love it even though the writing from the beginning was
19
so so beautiful but I just wasn't really like oh my goodness I'm gonna love this.
20
I continued reading it even though I was a little bit confused about all of the different characters
21
but I really love also that you know it is an Italian story
22
that is translated to English but it just has these you know Italian words
23
and Italian names Italian locations and I feel like I've been transported to Italy
24
and I'm in Naples and it's honestly just a really really beautiful book.
25
Yesterday I got a little bit ahead of myself.
26
I started watching the tv adaptation of this book series and oh my goodness it was really something good.
27
I'm so picky when it comes to tv shows and movies.
28
I really love you know older movies and older tv shows
29
because as you've probably seen like the netflix filter i watched devil wears prada in my last vlog
30
and i actually didn't give you guys my thoughts on the movie
31
but i did not like it at all it had this netflix filter everything was just
32
so picture perfect the lighting the audio everything kind of just staged
33
but i feel like in the older days
34
or like you know older films older tv shows they still have
35
that natural element to it i mean you don't even have to go
36
that far i think breaking bad we were currently watching sopranos
37
which is quite funny because they are also like italian americans
38
so some of these names i'm like recognizing and some of the slangs
39
and stuff that they're using okay anyways I'm going way ahead of myself
40
but why did I start talking about this
41
but yeah the tv show my brilliant friend I only watched the first episode
42
so it's an HBO series but it's in Italian
43
and it's filmed in Italy I believe
44
and I think all of the actors are Italian and it's just
45
so raw and it's so so beautiful I immediately like I knew
46
that was gonna love it it is identical to the book
47
i feel like every scene has been literally the same as the book uh
48
which is really cool because that's not oftentimes
49
when you know they make movies or tv shows from books
50
but this one wow i was blown away
51
and i'm excited to watch more and finish this one
52
and yeah i'm gonna take myself on a cozy morning date miss matilda
53
is a little sleepy head my little cutie
54
but I thought maybe I could show you guys what I'm gonna wear
55
so my hair is a little bit oily today
56
so I just threw on this headband this is actually in his bag
57
but I'm gonna steal it today and I'm wearing these pleated pants my flip-flops and this gray v-neck.
58
We're gonna find another place so we can sit in the sun while we read
59
because the other place was in the shadow.
60
It's a little bit cold, but in the sun.
61
It's so nice.
62
Yeah, I also brought Heldi's book because he was out and about and he was maybe going to meet me.
63
And he is reading.
64
You're almost finished as well.
65
It's been, what, a year or something since I started?
66
No, not a year, but it's taken you a while.
67
You also read quite a few books in between.
68
You had to take some breaks.
69
I'm not sure if I'm gonna read it.
70
We found a little spot here where we can sit and read by the lake.
71
And there's a little duck over there.
72
Hello!
73
Well guys, we finished.
74
And it's been such a lovely day.
75
And the sun is just beaming.
76
And there are lots of boats and kayaks passing by here. So wholesome.
77
But we actually want to go home now because we recently got a delivery.
78
It's a poster and a frame that we are gonna put in our living room
79
And we haven't unboxed it yet because I really wanted to film the process with you guys
80
So I think we're gonna go home now and Unbox it Yeah
81
we just got home and she is lying
82
so funny let's look at her mother hi hello cutie pie
83
we did a little shopping before heading home hargie also went to the store to pick up some
84
necessities while we're unboxing the poster and the frame
85
but we also went to this store that we bypassed
86
and we got some coconut oil slap a tea
87
which means like relaxing tea and we bought toothbrushes i haven't bought these before
88
but i wanted to try them because it's like made from plants
89
and they looked pretty good so
90
and i really wanted to buy high quality olive oil i mean this one is organic
91
and it's extra virgin olive oil but i'm not sure
92
if it's just like the pure best olive oil
93
that you can like drink in the morning i really want to buy
94
that type of olive oil where you can just like sip on it with some lemon juice i don't know
95
if you guys have seen that but olive oil is like
96
so good for you but i mean we're just gonna try this one out
97
and see how it is and yeah we also wanted to try this water kefir ginger
98
and lemon i think it's a little bit like kombucha i actually don't know the difference i love everything ginger and lemon
99
oh my yum it's not sweet at all it's more like sparkling water with a little bit of ginger
100
and lemon it's not like ginger ale but really refreshing
101
matilda is always so cuddly when we get home
102
when she's been alone and then she's craving some cuddles and scratches and kisses oh
103
well oh well it's so big i believe the poster is up here and then this here is like this dark
104
wood frame.
105
This is from a Danish brand called Peloton.
106
They kindly gifted us this piece and I'm so excited to style it in our apartment.
107
I don't know if we should have it here above the cabinet or above the sofa but let's see.
108
By the way, this poster is called Cheers, my friend.
109
I was in between a couple of artworks from this German artist called Hannah Moller.
110
I think all of them are absolutely beautiful, but I felt like this one would just suit this living room really nicely.
111
Ta-da!
112
Oh my goodness.
113
It's so stunning.
114
Wow.
115
well guys what do you think i am in love it
116
is even bigger than i imagined i love big artworks i feel like it just really elevates every space
117
so i'm so happy with this one we haven't hung it up just yet
118
because we're still debating if we should keep it above the cabinet
119
or above the sofa and
120
and then we need to borrow a drilling machine from our friend
121
so we're not gonna hang it up today
122
but i feel like the living room just upgraded immediately so i'm really really happy
123
we just got ready because we're meeting our friends for dinner
124
and i'm pretty much wearing the same outfit as i did today
125
but i added this leather blazer and my loafers
126
because it can get pretty cold
127
when the sun sets i don't know where we're gonna go for dinner but probably gonna sit somewhere in the sun
128
we are back home it was a really cozy evening we had some pizza
129
and I actually had a cheeseburger
130
and we just sat there in the sun yeah I took a shower
131
because I was so cold and my hair was dirty
132
and I love taking a shower before I go to bed not necessarily like soaking wet
133
but I feel like my hair gets a little bit more wavy in the morning
134
Helgen I just realized that we bought something earlier this week
135
i am so excited i had forgotten but we bought ben
136
and jerry's cookie dough earlier this week because it was on sale
137
and we thought we could like have a movie night
138
and have ben and jerry's so we're gonna watch the drama with sandia
139
and robert patterson i am so excited to watch it I think I'm gonna love it.
140
I absolutely adore the actors and it's an A24 movie.
141
I usually love all of their movies so I'm quite excited.
142
I'll tell you guys tomorrow what I think about it.
143
If there's one thing that Matilda loves, it's Ben and Jerry's.
144
And it's crazy because she
145
recognizes the packaging even she is
146
so smart we usually let her lick the top thingy
147
but never if we buy the half-baked one because
148
that one has chocolate you know it's just like tiny bit of ice cream
149
and i'm just waiting for her to jump up she's like
150
looking at me over here just wait she's gonna come i'm honestly shocked
151
that oh there she is hello and she's gonna come very close
152
she's like my bestie now hi oh you are such a cutie pie
153
I'm
154
going to
155
go to the next one so so
156
good morning i am currently making my homemade granola i haven't made it in a
157
while and i'm just really excited to be making it again because i bought this yogurt at the farmer's market
158
and I really wanted to make like homemade granola.
159
I met the people that are the owners of this farm
160
and they were genuinely like the sweetest people and they told me all about their farm and it was really inspiring.
161
So honestly I want to go more often to the farmer's market
162
and buy like good products and produce so I got beef bone broth
163
that I wanted to try out you guys know I love bone broth
164
but it can be quite time consuming to make it
165
so it's nice to be able to buy it at the farmer's market and then of course some eggs
166
and then I discovered this kombucha I just thought it looked really beautiful I actually didn't get to try it
167
but since Helge
168
and I don't drink alcohol I thought this could be fun to like bring to the park
169
or something when you're having a little picnic this is probably gonna be
170
so so tasty okay but I'm gonna make my delicious granola now
171
and honestly guys if you're still buying granola at the store you are missing out
172
because homemade granola is way better and it's so nice because you can basically just throw in whatever you have at home.
173
So I'm gonna put some almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, flax seeds, coconut flakes.
174
I'm just gonna put a bunch of stuff in there and it's delish.
175
I'm gonna be a bit bougie
176
so I'm gonna add some vanilla bean into the coconut oil it's gonna taste so good
177
I'm
178
going to
179
go to the next video.
180
Helga just made me some iced coffee.
181
We're gonna go for a walk with our stepson, Dego.
182
We've started calling him our stepson.
183
It's the dog that we've been dog-sitting.
184
But yeah, we've been walking him quite a bit and he is so special.
185
I adore him.
186
But yeah, I wanted to tell you guys my thoughts on the drama.
187
Oh my goodness, it was very unexpected.
188
I had no clue what the movie was about.
189
I hadn't seen the trailer,
190
which I think made it even more fun for me because it was just quite disturbing,
191
this movie, but I just really love A24.
192
They just love to surprise you with like the most unexpected things happening.
193
I don't know I thought this movie was going to be about like them getting married
194
and just like maybe some relationship complications or something but little did I know.
195
I rated the movie four out of five on My Letterboxd.
196
I honestly really enjoyed it.
197
I kind of like movies that are weird and just kind of get under your skin in a way.
198
They're just a little bit unexpected.
199
This one was definitely quite disturbing but yeah I would highly recommend watching it.
200
I really enjoyed the cinematography.
201
I loved Robert Pattison and Zendaya and the overall vibe but it is kind of messed up so just be prepared.
202
but anyways it's gonna be nice with a little walk i've been sorting out some stuff
203
and we haven't really gone outside
204
so we're gonna go for a little walk i feel like i'm just
205
so like tired in the face maybe it's
206
because my eyelashes are just flat it just makes me a little bit sleepy i don't know Vicko!
207
Vicko!
208
Hi!
209
Wow!
210
I recently got this hoodie and it says 77.
211
And Helgi just told me it's his football jersey number that he used to like wear his whole childhood.
212
And my basketball jersey as well.
213
Oh my gosh!
214
So it's like, it's even more special to me now. so

Who Will Love This Video for English Practice?

The speaker’s tone is conversational, with soft intonation and natural pauses—perfect for practicing improve english pronunciation. Here’s how to use the shadowspeak method with this video:

  • Focus on connected speech: Notice how she says "I’m so happy to see you"—the "m" in "I’m" links smoothly to "so." Repeat this to avoid choppy speech.
  • Mimic the "lazy" sounds: Words like "gonna" (instead of "going to") and "wanna" (instead of "want to") are common in casual talk. Practice saying them softly, not too sharply.
