Du kender dem godt. De der "irriterende" billeder på Facebook og Instagram af dine venner og familie, der lige er kommet hjem fra en cykeltur eller har sat personlig rekord i et løb.

Selvpromovering på de sociale medier i motionsmæssige succesøjeblikke bliver mere og mere udbredt, og vorespuls.dk har snakket med to af dem, der ofte lægger billeder af dem selv i idrætstøj ud til offentligt skue.

Nina Marie Vedel Kaiser og Jacob Møller-Iversen griber de sociale medier an på to vidt forskellige måder, men fælles for dem er, at livet i cyberspace motiverer dem til at dyrke mere motion.

Frisk og sporty - ikke lækker

23-årige Nina fra Kolding er meget bevidst om, hvilke billeder hun lægger på Instagram - og hvad de signalerer.

"Jeg tænker mest over, om jeg ser sporty og frisk ud på billedet. Det vil jeg gerne vise folk, at jeg er. Og det samme gælder for de motiver, jeg tager billeder af og lægger på. For mig betyder det ikke så meget, om folk synes, jeg er lækker eller ser godt ud," siger Nina Marie Vedel Kaiser.

"For nogen tager det overhånd med bar hud og lignende. Jeg kunne for eksempel aldrig finde på at lægge et billede på af mig selv i g-streng for at vise, hvor markerede mine baller er. Jeg vil bare gerne sende et signal om, at jeg er sund og motionerer meget."

Cirka syv gange om ugen træner Nina frem mod sommerens halve ironman i Aalborg, samtidig med hun læser til serviceøkonom. Og havde det ikke været for sammenspillet med hendes følgere på Instagram, er det ikke sikkert, den megen træning kunne lade sig gøre.

"Den opbakning jeg får fra andre under mine billeder på Instagram, det er de ting, jeg burde sige til mig selv, når jeg sidder i sofaen. Jeg er blevet god til at huske, hvad folk har skrevet af positive ting, og faktisk er jeg begyndt at skrive de bedste kommentarer ned på et stykke papir, jeg gemmer," siger Nina Marie Vedel Kaiser.

"Samtidig giver det mig en masse at kunne inspirere andre til at motionere via mine billeder."

Se, hvor sej jeg er!

Den 33-årige slagteriarbejder Jacob fra Skive tænker ikke så meget over, hvad han lægger på Facebook og Instagram. Det foregår med andre ord på et noget mere tilfældigt niveau i forhold til Ninas mere velovervejede tilgang. Men det at lægge billeder ud har stadig betydning for ham.

"Jeg gør det for sjov. Jeg bliver tit motiveret af at se, hvad andre har lagt på af billeder, mens de dyrker motion. Det får det til at krible i min krop for at komme af sted. Og så tænker jeg, at jeg også vil lægge lidt billeder på," siger Jacob Møller-Iversen.

På det sidste halvandet år er Jacob gået fra ikke at kunne løbe tre kilometer og veje 20-30 kilo for meget til den 16. februar 2014 at have gennemført sit første marathon i Holstebro.

"Generelt har jeg kun gjort det her for at bevise noget over for mig selv, men når jeg så for eksempel har gennemført mit første marathon, så vil jeg også godt vise andre på Facebook og Instagram, hvor sej jeg er," siger Jacob Møller-Iversen.

"Likes" er vigtige

Nina bliver fulgt at over 600 personer på Instagram, og hun modtager masser af likes og kommentarer. Jacobs liv på de sociale medier er noget mere anonymt, men også han får ros og anerkendelse.

Og selvom det er imod den berømmede jantelov at sige, lægger hverken Jacob eller Nina skjul på, at de positive kommentarer og antallet "likes" har en betydning.

"Det er da altid dejligt at få nogle likes. Det giver ekstra selvtillid," siger Jacob Møller-Iversen og bliver suppleret af Nina Marie Vedel Kaiser.

"Det giver en super fed følelse at få ros og få at vide, man er sej. På dage, hvor jeg ikke lige gider træne, kan rosen fra andre på Instagram være det, der gør, jeg kommer af sted," siger hun.

Anholt Gin har opfundet "plukkeugen", hvor man plukker bær til gin og derved skaber både event for købere og en hær af ambassadører ..!

... megaspændende alternativ markedsførings og identitets-fokuseret branding - de laver også geniale meme-takeovers - find dem på Facebook/instagram (det hedder sikkert noget andet end mit selvopfundne ord, men det betyder at de tager memes og laver dem om til at handle om Anholt Gin på en lidt

sjov måde!)

Kartoffel-ferie bliver til Enebær-ferie

Når tiden nærmer sig og enebærrene er ved at være modne kalder Anholt Gin til Plukkeuge. En årlig tilbagevendende begivenhed, der udspiller sig i uge 42

Plukkeugen er for alle og Anholt Gin ville ikke eksistere uden de mange entusiastiske plukkere og den store folkelige opbakning, der er fra både øen og fastlandet. Vi er dybt taknemmelige for denne opbakning og gør vores absolut bedste for at bevare den.

Lidt info om ugen:

Vi lægger altid hårdt ud med en middag og en fest..!
I samarbejde med Anholts Kultur- og aktivitetsudvalg, disker vi søndag op med en plukkemiddag bestående af intet mindre end efterårets største klassiker - Gule ærter..

Middagen foregår i forsamlingshuset og kræver tilmelding.
Efter middagen fortæller vi lidt om, hvor man i de næste dage kan/må plukke enebær. Vi gennemgår også hvordan bærrene nemmest plukkes samt hvilke bær der kan godkendes.

Tirsdag er der Efterårs Bal i forsamlingshuset, hvor vi forventer at hele øen møder op og fester. Livemusik er en selvfølge.
Og så fester vi i forsamlingshuset til vi ikke gider mere.

Øens lokale Bryghus Humleløkken, garanterer, at der er friskbrygget Anholt øl og de garanterer, at der er nok..

Sideløbende med alle disse festligheder plukker vi på livet løs indtil om fredagen, hvor der holdes stor høstfest på Dørken (Anholt Gins bar på havnen). Her vil vi løfte sløret for nogle af de ting, der kommer til at ske med Anholt Gin det følgende år. Vi skåler i Anholt Gin og fester til nok er nok..

Ophold på Anholt

Vi kan desværre ikke give sommerhuse og villaer. Det ville vi ellers gerne, men der findes en bemærkelsesværdig aftale med Anholt Camping, hvor man kan betale for teltpladser med enebær.Derudover er der åbent hos både B&B, Casablanca, Pakhuset, Potters Hus og Anholt Kro.

Der kan afleveres bær hele ugen ved ene-bærometeret foran Brugsen. Og vi satser på, at viseren når 300 kilo inden ugen er omme.. ;)

Der samles skrald samtidig med enebær (det kan vi ligeså godt) og der vil være en fin præmie til den, der samler mest skrald. I det hele taget er ugen fyldt med præmier, men igen: Kom og vær med!

Der findes ligeledes et begreb, der hedder "Plukke-gin", men for at vide mere om det, må man møde op til Plukkeugen.

Tilbage er der blot, at sige:
Let the Pluk Be´Gin!

Staying in an ice hotel has been a bucket list item for us for a long time, and if you are reading this, it is probably on your list, too. We were lucky enough to cross it off our list at Snow Village in Kittila, Finland. It is something you do once in your life, thus you want to do it right. So we decided to share our tips for all the dreamers out there.

Ice Hotels Around the World

There are around 10 ice hotels located across various corners of the world; namely Finland, Sweden, Switzerland, Norway, Alaska, Canada, Andorra, Japan. So choose according to where you plan to discover.

Why Finland?

- We wanted to use the opportunity to see the northern lights and I strongly recommend you do the same. That said, Switzerland, Andorra, Japan were immediately eliminated. The next step was to choose between Finland, Sweden, Norway, Alaska, and Canada.

- We then looked into what offered the most experiences at the best price. Lapland (the Arctic parts of Sweden, Finland and Norway) stood out as the most interesting and fun destination thanks to its Sami culture and alternative activities like ice-carting and visiting reindeer farms.

- Norway has no ice-breaker ships to take a ride on - which is an essential Arctic experience. The country is also ruthlessly expensive, so that ruled that out.

- In Sweden, Lapland activities cost around 30-50% more than that of Finland. Finland also seemed a lot livelier.

And so, we said "hello Finland!"

** Budget Tips **

- We looked for an ice hotel located in Finland or Sweden as we could easily integrate any of them onto our itinerary. Snow Village offered a better package.

- Another thing we liked about the Snow Village was that it has rooms with 2, 3, 4 or 5 beds. Some hotels only have rooms with 2 beds. So if you are a family or a group you can make a huge budget cut by sharing 1 room (you can forget about romance when it is so cold anyway).

- If an overnight stay is still over your budget, or you are intimidated about sleeping in the cold, here is some news to cheer you up: It has an ice-restaurant and an ice-bar where you can be a part of the experience and visit the rooms as well.

Snow Village - The World's Biggest Ice Hotel

200 kilometers north of the Arctic Circle lies the Snow Village. What started as a 6 room hotel in 2001, is now the world's biggest ice hotel. It has a huge ice restaurant, an ice -bar, an ice cinema, and an ice chapel that you can rent out for special occasions like marriages. It also has a 2 what is called warm areas (heated buildings); a warm restaurant and a warm house for overnight guests only.

The Hotel Melts Down Every Year

It is rather poetic that the entire village and all the art contained with it meltdown each April and disappear completely never to come back in the same form ever again. In a way, it reminds me of Burning Man. It is reconstructed with a different concept every November to reopen in December, just in time for Christmas. A team of builders and artists from around the world work together to build the entire hotel in only 6 weeks.

Every year, 15 million kilos of snow and 300.000 kilos of natural ice are used to build the hotel. They wait for the nearby river to freeze to get the ice blocks. Only when running water freezes, the ice is so crystal clear and solid. This ice at the ice hotel mostly used for decorative parts like furniture and sculptures. Sometimes nature likes to add its touch with trapped leaves or even fish inside the ice! For the construction of the hotel, they use natural and artificial snow. Once the walls are up the artists rush to carve and ornate. When it melts, everything goes back to nature.

However global warming has been a real challenge with temperatures not dropping on time to allow enough time for the construction. In 2019, the winter came 3 weeks late leaving them only 3 weeks to finish the hotel!

When to Go

Winter Months

The hotel is open from Dec to April. It is pretty much the same for all ice hotels. We prefer Feb and March because you get longer daylight (remember that in the north daytime can be extremely long in the summer and extremely short in the winter), and it is said that the chance to see the northern lights increases because the skies are clearer and supposedly there is more solar activity around the equinoxes.

I recommend you read on about how to maximize your chances of seeing the northern lights here: Complete Guide to Northern Lights: When, Where, How

Game Of Thrones Theme

It is 2019 at the time of writing, and like all fans of the show, we have been waiting for 2 freakishly long years for the last season. So when we learned that for this year's theme, the hotel partnered up with HBO Nordic to curate a Game Of Thrones experience, we were thrilled.

Each room at the ice hotel was modeled after a different dynasty from the series. The bar, the common areas all had references to the show. Giant dragon heads, ships from Bravos, the iron throne and so on. It felt like Jon Snow was going to walk in any second. 😀 I will let the photos do the talking. Even better, you can watch our video above.

Can I Stop By Just For a Visit?

Yes! Every hour the hotel organizes guided tours. You can visit all of it, even the rooms, drink at the ice bar, go in the chapel and take photos until 8pm (meaning the last tour departs at 7 pm).

It has a warm cafe with basic foods like sandwiches and muffins and a fine dining ice restaurant where we ate the best meal of our entire Lapland trip.

Tip: Make sure to try the cloudberry shot at the bar. These berries only grow in the Arctic and have a wonderful flavor.

Overnight Experience - How to survive?

Sleeping in an icy room is no piece of cake but don't let it discourage you from trying this once in a lifetime experience. When will you ever get a second chance?

How cold do you feel?

The beds at the ice hotel are crafted of ice, unsurprisingly, but you are not sleeping on the ice itself. Inside the ice bed frames, there is a mattress similar to the one you have at home. And you are given polar sleeping bags to sleep in. They are said to keep you safe at temperatures as low as -30. Of course, that doesn't mean a warm, cozy night's sleep at those temperatures, it just means that you survive. But don't worry, it never gets so cold inside the hotel anyways. Snow is actually very conductive, so even though the cold reaches as low as -20 or -30 degrees outside, the temperature inside remains a relatively toasty -5 to -1 degrees.

Still, you should not expect the comfort of your typical hotel room. If you decide that you can't do it halfway through the night, you can always go to the couches in the warm room. That is what they are there for.

A few tricks to keeping warm in the sleeping bag:

- Make sure to bring thermal leggings and a thermal top. That is what you are going to wear to sleep.
- It is extremely important that they are synthetic material. Materials like cotton trap humidity so it gets very difficult to stay warm.
- It may sound counterintuitive but you stay warmer with fewer layers.
- A sleeping bag uses your body heat to warm up the air inside. So if you are a short person make sure to fold the extra length under your feet. Also, use your clothes to fill up the free space inside the sleeping bag. This way there is less air inside the sleeping bag to warm up.
- No do shower or go in the sauna the night of your sleep. Humidity is your enemy.
- Make sure to pee before you go to bed. There are no toilets in the rooms, they located in a warm area separate. The last thing you will want to do will be leaving your warm sleeping bags to run to the restroom in the cold.

Tip: Make sure to spare time for the sauna the next morning.

What is Included in the Over Night Stay

- They provide all the sleeping material but you need to bring your own thermals.
- Breakfast is included in your stay but all other meals are extra.
- You can get marshmallows to grill on the stick at night.
- All guests have access to the warm guesthouse where there is free tea & coffee and sauna.

How to Book?

We found that Booking offers great genius deals. Check them out here: Booking.com

The Ice Restaurant Is a Real Feast

Hats off to this chef! We had fantastic Lappish food.

The ice hotel's ice-restaurant offers no a la carte menu, only a tasting menu of 3 courses. Traditional ingredients such as reindeer and Arctic fish are revisited in modern Lappish style. We were 4 people so we were able to taste everything on the menu. Each dish was better than the previous.

You can come for lunch or dinner but make sure to book in advance. Also, if you have had enough of the cold, you can ask to have it served in the warm restaurant.

Tip: When it comes to picking desert, most people do not go for the ice-cream because it is cold. But it is a big mistake! Spruce is the common Christmas tree and they make ice cream with it. It has a unique aroma and it goes very well with the bed of caramel-dough mix that they serve it on. I tasted all the deserts and the spruce ice cream surpasses even their chocolate fudge.

Crazy Wedding For Crazy Couples

In case there are any crazy couples out there who want to get married in the Ice Hotel: As we did the tour of the hotel, we were informed that they host weddings in the ice chapel. The groom arrives on a snowmobile and the bride on a sled. 🙂 It costs 1.000 Euros for this package but it doesn't include catering.

"Following the viral success of the DeLand Wings, I was approached by The West Volusia Tourism Advertising Authority and asked to be their artist in residence! This sparked a campaign called “Wings of The West”, where I illustrated and painted 5 more wings murals in key West Volusia locations. Each set of wings represents something about the location in which they’re found. So get out there and explore beautiful West Volusia!"
