Current Beauty Routine

I tend to use the same products over a long period of time and don’t seem to change things up too much although I do add or exchange some products. Currently I am using general things, nothing too exciting. Shampoo, toothpaste, showergel, hairspray… the usual. My newest product is the Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Eye cream (blogpost about this here). I enjoy all of these products and I like the results they have. I am really loving the Vineyard Peach...

Friends

Old love, new fire! Back in the day when Friends was actually on tv, or new on dvd or video or whatever was the thing in those days I din’t watch it. Only a few years ago I got hooked onto it. Season 1 & 2 were my laughs in the morning when I had breakfast during my time in Bali. Because I recently moved to Berlin I still have to settle in- I still do not have internet in my room! So being at home without internet is quite boring, let me tell...

Calcium and Magnesium Deficiency

Because I don’t drink or eat dairy and am also not great on the fish or meat front I need additional calcium and magnesium to keep me healthy. I have found that these pills from pure encapsulations are quite easy to add into your diet and the body takes them quite good. It does say on the bottle that you should take 2x2 tablets per day but I only take one with breakfast. After a hard workout or something I do take additional magnesium powder that...

Kiehl's Midnight Eye Recovery

So many people have raved about this eye cream- especially TalkBeckyTalk. It is quite pricey and I was still contemplating buying the Shiseido Eye Cream (previous blogpost here) but there was a Kiehl’s shop here in Berlin so I went in to see it. The girl showed me a different one first, that was more oil based and also the one from the Men section which has a cooling effect but nevertheless I went with the Midnight Recovery. I haven’t...

Healthy Breakfast

I am normally not the person that eats very healthy. I am just too lazy to cook vegetables every day or eat fruit all the time- my main nourishment is pasta, my greatest love of all times. Thank the Lord for the Italians!! But yeah, not too healthy eater. However, I do enjoy some fruit from time to time, especially strawberries or any type of berries for that matter. I’ve been buying strawberries and blueberries here quite frequently....

Travel sized minis

I love everything mini - but doesn't everybody. As you might know I have moved places and am now living in Berlin, for the summer at least. I thought it'd be pointless bringing full sized bathroom essentials with me since I can buy them in Berlin anyway. So I went out and bought travel sized things and had to contain myself not to buy every single thing the store had. I picked up toothpaste, deodorant, hairspray (which I absolutely love!...

The Body Shop Splurdge

I recently signed up to become a Body Shop Member (http://www.thebodyshop.co.uk) or whatever it's called. Now I get emails with deals and sales all the time- last week I got a 50% SALE email. Oh dear.... I tried to keep it together and don't go too crazy and I think I did quite well. I picked up the Shower Gel in the scent Early-harvest Raspberry and Vineyard Peach. I loved the peach scent so much I picked up a body mist in the same...
