The Old or the New?
Summer fragrance, Bronze Goddess or Azuree Soleil?
I have the old Azuree soleil close to my heart, and I've found it to be my summer fragrance for some years now. This year I've tested the new summer fragrance from Estee Lauder, but is it equally as good?
What do you think?

Rain!
With this rain cape from DKNY it can rain as much as it would like!
It's very convenient, as when the cape is not in use, it has its own bag, so it doesn't take up any space.

Last Day!
This has been truly an experience! This is the 25th day of my personal challenge of workingout 5 days a week, no sugar and no coffee! It's been tough, but so much fun!
I feel much more fit - and feel that I have a routine going on that will keep up my workout!
This is me in a few months!
and now I'm as tired as when we ran through Brooklyn-Queens and Manhattan!

My next challenge
Midnattsloppet!
August 27th in Göteborg!

More information here.
But first of all I have to complete my current challenge, only 5 days left now. Friday is the last day which will be finished off with a morning workout at 6 in the morning :)

Why are you doing it?
I've been getting that question a lot about this so called "25 days challenge" of mine
"Are you doing it to loose weight?", "Do you want to be more healthy?", "Why don't you eat cake?"
etc etc...
etc etc...
I tell people that I mainly want to create a routine in my life for training coming natural, hopefully about 4-5 days a week, and that I will naturally say no to cakes, brownies, cheesecake, and not always say yes if I happen to see my favorites on the table.
As a prize for completing and succeeding my challenge is inevitable, the gift is going to be a new training outfit!
5 more days!
A sports BH from Abecita, model Kimerbly, This one came out best-in-test recently by Iform.
A tank top from Nike, or perhaps Stella McCartney Adidas,
and A long pair of tights from Nike,

The Black List
There are a few things that disturb me in the manufacturing world,
and in peoples minds, such as...
and in peoples minds, such as...
+ Mini socks that doesn't suit your shoes.
They should be invisible.
That's their purpose. Use them, but be careful.

That's their purpose. Use them, but be careful.
+ Open toe pumps with no nail polish is forbidden. Nail polish is mandatory for those showing of their toes.
+ Wrong underwear showing through the clothes, need I say more?
+ White pants -
Should only be used between May1st-September 30th
(in Scandinavia), otherwise it's unappropriate
+ Material clashing - light fabric shoes and top, with heavy weight skirt,bottom.
It just looks ridiculous and not in balance.
+ Bras with plastic straps should not even be sold.
There are a sort of bra called strapless, or other tapes one can use.
Technology is a little ahead these days.
+ If you like the Gucci or Louis Vuitton monogram, then buy it in the boutique, do NOT support terrorism, or even plastic bags.
+ Tights are NOT pants. Remember that.
