Konjac Sponge Addiction | Review


I have discovered a new and very gentle way to clean my skin, it's called The Konjac Sponge. Before I was using the muslin cloths that comes with the Pai Gentle Cleanser, but since I've found this I rarely use the muslin cloth. The Konjac Sponge is a small half sphere and is made from a potato plant (Go figure, I use potato to clean my skin!) Not from a regular potato, but still in the potato family. When you buy it, it's in an airtight bag that keeps it moist and squishy, but after you open and use it, it will dry up between uses. I use it with the Pai gentle cleanser or just with water and run it over my skin in circular motion, and it's so soft and gentle that it won't harm even the most sensitive skin while still exfoliating ever so gently. I use it on the eye area too just give a soft exfoliation.

All dried up and hard, it feels like paper mache :)

I really love that it's 100% natural, it makes me feel like I'm doing something good for my skin! And the sponge I have is made for acne prone skin, so there's added charcoal which is a natural antioxidant that helps the skin get rid of impurities - which my skin most definitely needs! On days where i feel like i need a little extra exfoliation i still use the muslin cloth from Pai, but the Konjac Sponge is definitely my go to cleansing tool at the moment!

If you want more information about The Konjac Sponge you can go to their website here.

Pai Skincare | Review


Hi guys!
Remember my obsession with Pai Skincare? Well.... I bought some of them and here's my favorites :)


1. Camellia & Rose Hydrating Cleansers
This comes with a muslin cloth if you buy 100 or 200 ml and its the most gentle and refreshing cleanser i have ever used on my skin, it leaves the skin exfoliated, fresh and clean. And the good feeling clean without being dried out, i feel like most other cleansers leave the skin "too clean", which in the end makes the skin dry and flaky. But this one deep cleans without drying out thanks to all the lovely oils.
It's extremely good as make-up remover too, especially eye-make-up, it just melts away!


2. Rosehip BioRegenerate Oil
This oil is a lifesaver for my acne scars and dry spots, it's so light but gives the skin so much, I fell a difference every time I use it. On hot summer days where creams are too heavy and make the skin feel like it's choking, I opt for this and a gentle toner and that's all i need. It adsorbs quickly into the skin and leaves it moisturized.


3. Bergamot Lip Balm
This 100 % organic lip balm is sooo good, it's smells heavenly and then it really lasts long, haven't even made a dent in it yet, using this once a day is enough to keep my lips hydrated, it melts into the lips, soothing. Very versatile too, I use it on dry spots on my hands sometimes when I've forgotten my hand cream (happens a lot!).



What I really love is how they are a 100% transparent about what's in their products, how much of it is organic and what's not. They don't try to hide nasty stuff behind pretty names, everything is in plain English for everybody to understand.

Buying these gorgeous products has been a really good investment. Of course they all live up to my hippie standards, all natural, certified organic and perfect for sensitive skin! I feel a difference in my skin and also in my mind, since I can use these products with a good conscience knowing they are clean and healthy. What more can you ask for?

I will definitely repurchase these products and can recommend all of them (also for acne-prone skin) :)

Tea Love

Goodmorning!! :)
So I have a straight out addiction to tea, I love tea and there's nothing a cup of tea can't help fix in my opinion! For as long as I remember we have been drinking tea everyday in my family, my dad would and still does drink a cup of tea every morning with his breakfast. I have most definitely inherited that habit, my mornings are not complete if I don't have a cup of tea (just like some of you coffee drinkers out there!). 

I think it would be somewhat scary to show you the selection of tea's there is at my parents house (because there is a lot, 2 shelves in one of the kitchen cabinets are devoted just to tea!) so I thought I would just show my three favorites at the moment, all organic, natural herb tea's, totally in the spirit of the hippie/organic person that I am :D


First one from the left is "Peppermint & Licorice", I especially like this one because the licorice really shines through and sweetens the tea while the peppermint makes it fresh (besides being a tea addict, I'm an "all things sweet" addict too, which means lot's of sugar in my teas but it's really nice not having to put sugar in this one).

The second one is "revitalise", this to me tastes like Christmas, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger... Christmas all year round. There's licorice in this one too and it sweetens the tea slightly.

Last but not least is "night time" and this tea is really amazing for evening time, it contains Valerian root, among other ingredients, but what's special about Valerian root is that in higher doses it's used in herbal medicine to help treat insomnia. I drink this mostly at night, it's light

As you can see they are all from the same brand, Pukka, and its totally a coincidence. It could have something to do with that where I live that's the easiest brand to find which is organic, and it's a great brand!

If anyone was doubting my Tea Love then they definitely don't anymore haha.. (who can write a post this long about tea?)

What is your favorite tea?

Spring Soundtrack 2014


Good morning readers! :)
Just wanted to share this song with you guys "Happy" - by Pharrell Williams, and well yea this song makes me happy, it totally lifts my mood  along with the lovely weather we have had here the last couple of days.


Yesterday one of the girls and I decided to take a walk after school, to enjoy the weather, soak up some vitamin D and see the lovely nature around Hillerød, the sky was clear and the flowers were blooming.
Just a fresh spring day, getting your energy levels up! And since we don't have a lot of these kind of days in Scandinavia, it's all about grabbing the opportunity to see the sun. 

Beautiful Frederiksborg Castle and gardens

Fall Soundtrack 2013



Good morning!! Did you all sleep well? I did, just put on my favourite song lately. When I hear this song I get so much energy I can't explain it. I wanna dance, sing, jump, scream, act crazy… All those things at the same time. I've been listening to this song every morning for the past weak since the release and it never fails. I jump put of bed, hahah!
Have a great Tuesday :)
