Eating London

Being in London, means visiting a food mekka with a verity that spans from different European food.
Even though everyday was filled with foods that can only help your mood get better, but your waist bigger, the 6 hours of walking outweigh the calories.

Instead of telling you about the bundles of meals, we have decided to show you with pictures from my eating frenzy in London.

The week was filled with cake from hummingbird bakery, krispy kreme donuts, Chinese food from a market place called Keke, soup from EAT. and juicy hamburgers from Jamie Oliver Takeout. Not to mention the countless of coffee breaks.

But see for yourself :D

Eat Your Breakfast!

Yes, well, I guess the headline says it all.
In a previous post I showed you guys some healthy recipes I thought looked interesting. It turns out I am lazy as fuck. Sorry for my French.. But it's true! I haven't made a single one of them, barely even considered making them in the morning. I did do one thing though. Every singe morning. Yes, brace yourself, I make a smoothie every morning! This is big stuff for me! I never been very good with the whole "breakfast-thing". Don't get me wrong, I ALWAYS eat breakfast, I'm just not very thrilled with your ordinary cereal/oatmeal. For me a good breakfast could easily consist of a slice of pizza or maybe even some spaghetti? As you probably already concluded, this is not very healthy, so I don't eat that, even though I really want to. That's why it's been really hard for me to eat all the normal breakfast stuff and I have a hard time eating the same thing over and over, I have to mix it up a little. So imagine my surprise when I've been eating the same thing for months now and I'm still looking forward to breakfast! Amazing! So I thought I would share my knowledge and show you guys what it is!
And what does that has to do with working out, you might ask? Well, your body needs energy to go and do all the amazing things it does all day - like working out! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, this is not just some random thing your mother told you! It's true! So you better start eating. Now. Do it!

We're going to start out with barries - frozen! 

The white stuff is not yogurt (but you can use that as well)
It is something we in Denmark call Skyr and I have absolutely
NO idea what it's called otherwise? It's filled with protein and
therefore keeps you full for a very long time. Very low on fat though.

A banana!

BLEND IT!

Add cereal or nuts or anything else you'll like!

Oscar Chit-Chat

So I´m back after spending a week in London and leaving most of the blogging to my fellow mates. Luckily I made it back before the Oscars - YAY - and if you have read some of last weeks posts YOU KNOW, that we really wanted to see it, even though it in Denmark is shown on TV from 02 am to 06 am.

So todays post is of course also going to be about the Oscars and to be more precise it is going to be about our thoughts of this years Oscars - NOT a review, but mainly a small chit-chit between writer and reader - so feel free to tell us your thoughts about this years Oscar show.

First of all, love that we didn´t even get the show started, before Jennifer Lawrence managed to do something stupid again - tripping on a bright orange cone. The best part about it is, that she decided not to go down alone: "I´m gonna drag this bitch down with me" - talk about friendship.

I LOVE Ellen Degeneres, because she is naturally funny, she does not have to try and she is who she is. However, there were times, where the show became a little to casual. The "Diamonds are forever" part of the Oscars was missing, but Ellen managed to calm peoples nerves and help people become closer friends. She is definitely one of the better hosts. Not to mention that she managed to take/make the most re-tweeted tweet - That´s cool!

Throughout the show I did not get surprised by any of the winners. I guessed all of the winners except one, but what was really amazing was the various speeches. The majority of the speeches were really well written and brought out to the audience. The best ones, were Matthew Mcconaughey, Lupita N´yong'o, Cate Blanchett and Jared Leto. 

One thing that made me smile...and hungry, was when Ellen came in with Pizza and pretty much all of them said yes to a slice...except Leonardo Dicaprio...that why you did not win the Oscar Leo, EAT THE FRICKING PIZZA!

Not to mention the dancing worthy performance of Pharrell. He came in with a happy spirit..haha did you get it "Happy" spirit, and made everyone dance from Lupita to Meryl. You know you´ve made it as a performer, when you can make Meryl shimmy...

All in all this years Oscars or should we say: The 86th Annual Academy Awards, was really good, after having being disappointed the past many years. 

12 Years A Slave

For this Monday after the Academy Awards, I've chosen the Best Picture winner to write about.

"12 Years a Slave"

Now, the story of 12 Years a Slave is that Solomon Northup, a free black man from upstate New York, who is abducted and sold into slavery. He then has to fight to gain his freedom back.

Now, I admit this movie is gonna be a little hard for me to write about because a) I have a bit of a hard time concentrating on movies with a serious and mature theme, so b) I kinda fell asleep in the middle of the movie. It's horrible, I know. Especially at a movie like this. But it was 2 hours and around 30 minutes long, and heavy so I guess these things happen. But enough about that. What I did get out of this movie was a story about a man who got one of the worst case scenario for a free African American man - he lost his freedom. It was very hard to watch as he went from a man happy with his life and happy with his family, and got lured into a false promise by two (hella shitty) men, who then betrayed him. 

I can't really say much more about it, because what I saw of it was well made and great acting and yeah, overall good movie. Just a little heavy and serious for me. This is not a movie you watch to be entertained, you watch it to be somewhat educated and enlightened.
Do I think it deserved the Best Picture award? Yes and no. Yes, because it is an important story and movie, but no because I really just liked Gravity and Her better. But I don't know, maybe this was just the year for movies of a serious note.

Flashback to the Oscars 2013

Here at Three Weird Girls, we are almost buzzing with anticipation. You could almost say we're vibrating with excitement over the upcoming Academy Awards. So in best warm up fashion, I thought it would be appropriate to take a little trip back memory lane. All the way back to the Oscars 2013.

And as always, the fabulous people are mentioned in a random order.

Jennifer Lawrence

It's no secret that we Three Weird Girls almost passed out with joy when we saw Jennifer arrive in this gorgeous Dior dress. The soft baby pink was such a lovely colour on her, and the classic simple updo was so fitting for her. And I especially loved her necklace, that went down her back. It was just so wonderfully different, and gave the whole ensemble an interesting feature.
This is clearly an outift that we'll lock back at with hearts in our eyes.

Amy Adams

Miss Adams has really made herself at home in our fashion beating hearts over the last few years, and she really hit it home at the Academy Awards last year. This powder blue, almost grey Oscar de la Renta dress is fit for a fairy tale princess (which Amy actually has played), and combined with (yet another) classic simple updo is just the icing on the cake.

Naomi Watts
Miss Watts was shining in this silver Armani dress, and with the special shoulder cut out, it was a sure hit with everybody.

Zoe Saldana
This dress from Alexis Mabille Couture made Zoe Saldana look even more like a goddess. The flow of the dress and the details around the hem, makes the dress stand out from the other simple fitting dresses at the awards.

Chris Evans
In the midst of all the pretty princess-y dresses, it's easy to forget the array of handsome men in suits and ties, but Mister Chris Evans is pretty hard to forget. Evans arrived in a snazzy black Gucci suit with a matching slim tie. For me personally, nothing beats a handsome man in a body fitting suit, and Mister Evans didn't disappoint.

Kristen Stewart
Not everybody is a fan of Kristen Stewart and her style, but personally I love it. I love that she doesn't really care about the critics wanting her to be more feminine and girly. But with this shimmering white Reem Acra gown, she showed people she could be feminine, but still maintain her personality. Her beauty look, consisting of coordinating red highlights and reddish eye makeup, was also stunning.

Sandra Bullock
Miss Bullock looked super glam in this slivery and halfway see through dress. It looked really lowkey but at the same time really classy, which is an art itself. And with the sleek straight hair it really was a beautiful outfit.

















Amanda Seyfried
Seyfried looked absolutely amazing in this gown by Alexander McQueen. The special neckline is what sets this gown apart from the rest of the silver-ish dresses at the Awards. Also the flowery pattern is so feminine and lovely.

















Louise Roe
Louise Roe is a fashion expert and it sure shows with this beautiful gown. It was a nice soft and feminine addition to all the dark and silvery dresses last year. Although I wish she would have done something more with her hair, but alas.

Eddie Redmayne
Chris Pine wasn't the only snazzy dressed male at the Awards. Mister Redmayne here also looked georgous in this slim ensemble. 


















Quvenzhane Wallis
Young Quvenzhane has more style than I could ever dream of, and she was only 9 years old at the time of the Awards last year. She is absolutely adorable in this dress, and it's also very age appropriate. It's something I would have worn when I was 10 and going to the Oscars. (If only). 

The Perfect Oscar Party.

Since the Academy Awards are this Sunday (2:30am for the bloggers on this site), we here at Three Weird Girls thought it was fitting to show you guys two different ways you can celebrate the glorious event.

Suggestion Number One: Party With Friends

What you'll need: Friends (duh), drinks, food, and of course a tv.

Before you call up your friends to come over, you need to set up your place and prepare. First off you'll need to decide what kind of food you'll serve your friends. If you're one of the lucky people who lives in a part of the world where the Awards will be shown at a decent hour, you might want to make a big fancy dinner. Or maybe even just a two course meal. You might want to go with a movie themed meal, inspired by the Best Picture nominees. You could for example make outer space–themed dishes for Gravity, or an appetiser of fruitcake and tea for Philomena. Or if you liked The Wolf of Wall Street, you could serve your guest an over-the-top menu featuring sushi, steak, lobster and lots of champagne (no drugs, please). But you may want to scale back this extensive menu. With so many extravagant dishes, you're likely to incur the wrath of your CFO and father for spending $26,000 on dinner. Whatever you choose, just get creative and have fun with it.
Next up is drinks! Now I personally don't drink alcoholic drinks (well, only this sparkling white wine), so you should check with your guest first, so that you'll be able to accommodate their preferences. Like a good host should. Also make sure everybody is at legal drinking age. (no under-age drinking here, okay?)
I found two recipes for fun drinks you could serve your friends to make the night better. Hopefully, you'll be able to get a hold of all the ingredients, or you might have to improvise a bit. Again, get creative. That's the key to a good party.

First one up is this snazzy little thing called:

Ginger Fizz:
(serves 8 people)

Ginger Syrup:

• 3" piece ginger peeled, thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup raw or granulated sugar

Cocktails:

• 2 750-milliliter bottles chilled Prosecco
• 8 thin clementine or orange slices.

For ginger syrup: 
Bring one 3" piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced, 1/2 cup raw or granulated sugar, and 1/2 cup water to a boil in a small saucepan; reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Let cool. Strain syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a small jar or bowl; discard ginger.

DO AHEAD: Syrup can be made 1 week ahead. Cover and chill.

For cocktails: 
Pour 1/4 ounces ginger syrup in each coupe glass. Dividing evenly, top off with two 750-milliliter bottles chilled Prosecco (about 5 ounces per glass) and garnish each with a thin clementine or orange slice.

Followed by;

Cosmopolitan Champagne Cocktail:
(serves 10 people)
Ingredients

• 1 1/4 cups Cointreau or Grand Marnier
• 1 1/4 cups cranberry juice cocktail
• 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
• 3 tablespoons superfine granulated sugar
• 4 cups chilled Champagne or other sparkling wine

Stir together Cointreau, juices, and sugar and chill, covered, 2 to 6 hours. Just before serving, divide among 10 Champagne flutes and top off with Champagne.

Another thing you might want to do, is play games. Make up a trivia quiz about the Oscars, the actors, the movies and all that jazz! Challenge your friends, and maybe have some fabulous prizes lined up for the winners.

And then don't forget to actually watch the show when it begins! Don't have too much fun, so you'll forget it!

Suggestion two: Party all alone!
What you'll need: Whatever the heck you feel like needing, it's your own little party.

Normally, because of the late hour, I spend the Oscar nights alone, (in a dark room), so I can only say what I find useful at these things. One of the first things I always make sure to have is food. Since it's so late at night, I tend to get a little snacky. Two or three times I've made mini pizzas during the day, that I just heat up again when I get hungry during the show. This year I plan to make pigs in a blanket, because they're so easy. But really, it's all up to you and what you feel like eating. 

And then I basically just try to stay away with soda and candy and food. And texting with Sindy about the show (because I know she's awake too, also watching the show).So yeah, just go with what you feel is right.

AND HAVE FUN AND ENJOY THE SHOW! 

Full Body Workout

If you're not a big runner there are alternatives to what you might do to get your heart rate up in the red zone. The good way! Not the red, RED zone, that's bad. But yeah, if you feel like sweating and don't like treadmills, biking or any other machine in the gym, you might like the full body workout. This is exercises working your entire body, using nothing but you and your body weight to do a great workout.
You don't have to run marathons to burn calories, these exercises will do fine for a workout at home.
