I love staying in nice hotels. As I am sure we all do. I mean; what’s not to love? The giant, comfy bed, the room-service, the bathtubs, it’s all very living our best life. However, coming back home after a hotel stay can often feel a bit of an anticlimax, no? The bed isn’t as […]

Pizza is the perfect weekend food. Take-out is convenient, there is no denying that, but nothing beats the home-made variety. And in the days of Pinterest (oh, the food porn!) and 24-hour supermarkets, there is NO need to dial up Domino’s when you get an urge for pizza. Here are three easy-to-make, yet incredibly impressive […]

Because who has the time for daily hair washes? Washing, drying and styling my hair is pretty much the most tedious thing I do, and if I am ever to win the lotto (when I get around to start doing it, that is), the first thing I will be spending my money on is daily […]

Who doesn’t love a good sale? It seems the summer sales are starting earlier and earlier every year, and right now, we are lusting over these beauties from the Zara Home sale. We have always loved browsing in Zara Home stores when in Spain, and while it doesn’t look like we’ll be getting an actual […]

Waiting (im)patiently for summer – you know, proper summer – to arrive? Ditto. In the meantime, we are amusing ourselves – or maybe tricking ourself – by giving our homes a little bit of an upgrade for the sunny season. And look, we are not talking renovations or major DIY here, more like a few […]

Need something to heat you up during this blustery, bone-chilling time of the year? And by time of year, we mean June, of course. WTF, summer – where are you?!

Summer is coming! And I for one am propery excited for warm days, long, bright evenings and holiday days spent on sandy beaches and in salty waves. However, I have blonde hair and, as we all know, maintaining blonde colour, especially in the summer, requires a bit of effort. Why? Because all the elements of […]

Few things beat lounging by the pool (or on the beach) and getting stuck into a brand new book, in my humble opinion. It’s what summer holidays should be all about (you know, in between the chasing after toddlers or trying to keep sun-hats on babies, obvs.) And look, we love a good thriller or […]

It is the one question you just should not ask. And if you have been on the receiving end of having been asked if you are pregnant when you most definitively are not, well, then you know just how awkward this can be. However, when Chrissy Teigen was recently asked that very question on her […]

Having just suffered (another!) one of those wardrobe-bursting-but-NOTHING-to-wear moments, it got me thinking about how it is even possible. I mean; I have been shopping (too much at times) for the guts of 20 years, and yet I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR. But having done some research, it may seem like shopping for more clothes […]

Being a grandparent, according to my dad, who has five young grandchildren, is life’s dessert. The icing on the cake. The best bit about it all. And watching the bond my children have with their grandparents, it is truly amazing. Grandparents have time. And wisdom. They don’t stress or rush or have a short fuse […]

Beauty sleep is a real thing. No, really – it’s not just a tag line to sell products. When we sleep, our cell and skin literally renew themselves, which is why a lack of sleep can literally make you look all sorts of wrecked and, well, tired. The beauty market has understood this, and we […]

Wrinkles appearing and your hair going grey?

If you haven’t been yet, 2019 is the year you should make this city a priority. We are talking about Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, which, in all honesty, is one of my all-time-favourite cities.

Because who the heck doesn’t make too much rice – every time. Seriously – have you ever cooked just amount of rice for dinner? Because I know I most definitively have not – and hence am always stuck with a large bowl of leftover rice when dinner has come and gone. And few things bother […]

My children are ALWAYS (minus a tantrum and broken ice cream promise here and there) happy. Seriously. No worrying, no fretting. They just get up and go, all excitement and smiles, about their day.

I have this thing about skincare. To be fair – it kind of comes with the job when you write about beauty for a living, but seriously; I am obsessed with skincare like others are obsessed with makeup. Or Game of Thrones. Or whatever else people are in to. It might sound terribly vain to […]

Oh, those tired eyes… I don’t know about you, but there are mornings now where I seriously consider if I could get away with wearing sunglasses into the office – just to conceal my tired-looking eyes. And the thing is, at this stage, I feel like even on those mornings when I did wake up […]

Few things are as satisfying as crawling into a freshly made bed – complete with clean, fresh sheets. Seriously – it is the best. In fact; I am not surprised at all that Oprah Winfrey allegedly has someone change her bed sheets for her every single day – and trust me; if I had someone […]

We long for summer and sunshine all year, because, let’s face it – this season is the best. However, if you are prone for frizzy hair as soon as the temperatures start rising, you might be a little less keen on hot days and sunny skies. Sounds familiar? Same girl. Same. My hair turns into […]

I have gotten serious about my bedtime routine lately.

We are no strangers to whipping up a batch of brownies when the chocolate cravings get the better of us.  Love brownies too? (And let’s be fair, who doesn’t?).

Being a beauty journalist, I am lucky enough to get to try out a whole lot of goodies and gadgets; it’s a super perk. In the last couple of years, I have waded through a lot of lotions and potions. Some were good. Some were great, and a very few were so amazing in delivering […]

The ONLY thing for this clammy, sticky weather. We don’t know about you but come summer, we love swapping our normally steaming cups of java for the iced variety.
