Never in Scandinavia

NEW YOU!
No, this magazine writes nothing about how to get fit via regular working out or eating healthy - it's all about nip tucks, going under the knife for numerous reasons and the newest techniques in the plastic world.

Worth mentioning, this New You is from the USA, east coast.

Rocking around the christmas tree

When celebrating christmas on a cruise ship one has to be creative, so I used the corner chair as my tree. Better than no tree huh?

Always a reason to stop by Starbucks

Starbucks in Kiel.

Gewhol - 30 euros or 6 euros?

In Sweden Gehwol is portrayed as an expensive and qualitive brand for footcare. Here (in Sweden) you buy their wonderful products for around 30 euros a piece(or 249 sek), in Germany however, you get the exact same products for around 5.95 euros (50-69 sek)
Yet another reason to purchase brands in their home land - if you don't want to be robbed!!

Ice cream experiment

Fläder(Elderberries) sherbet and lingonberries with crackers - After emptying the boxes I would definitely buy Fläder again, it was divine. Lingonberries - not so much.

I welcome you - Gel Nimbus 13




In my earlier years I always picked the coolest Nike shoes, and when Shox came I was the first to have them. But frankly, Nike isn't all that awesome. Asics however - rock. Not only have I realized that they have some cool models, such as the Gel Nimbus 13. They are like made for my feet! I welcome you Mr. Nimbus 13.

Forget whatever you are using right now

I still have friends that use razors everywhere, which should be avoided, like I've told you already.

But now you can also forget about waxing and regular epilators, try this IPL epilator for permanent hair removal - for consumers! Not for salons!

There are probably more of them on the market than E>One... - this is however high on my christmas wish list!

Helena Christensen and Jennifer Aniston's secrets

Work out for 20 minutes a day - research put in to actually shows that it's more achievable and we put more effort into it. Therefore the body uses more strength in to restitute.

You want to borrow my personal trainer? It's awesome for short intens workouts.

3 easy goodlooking tips

- use a heatprotection spray/cream for your hair. It's worth it in the end.

If you love cashmere, figure enhancing dresses and viscose, go to Valambert

The boutique is situated at Via del Gambero 16, Rome, crossing Via della Vite.

They Mostly have one colored items, in the most soft fabrics, either cashmere or viscose. Beautiful, but calm colora. My absolute favorite boutique in Rome.

I have to have more dresses!
last two pictures from valambert.it

Don't hide your watches in a drawer, I've used an old Chanel box to lighten them up a bit. What do you think?

Sorry...

I haven't been updating my blog in a while. The reason is I just started a new job, my new cool job, that I love love! Anyway, right now it sucks up nearly all my energy, and the rest of my energy goes to Sportlife, my local gym.  So my I am practically dead at 20.20 every evening. 

I will come back strong, just giving you a heads up. 

So now you now, my summer will consist of working and working out. 

...and Happy 4th of July!

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.
