I usually never have problems with my skin aside from dryness in the winter which is quite manageable. But when I got pregnant all these hormones were going completely bananas and I ended up with break outs like I hadn’t seen since my teens! I was devastated because I had no idea how to treat [...]

As I said in this post, I like to keep my make up to a bare minimum in the summer heat. Here are my summer make up favorites! Calvin Klein Sun Drenched (304) Summer Affair Bronzing Powder. I’ve used this one for a few summers now and it gives the perfect matte and sun kissed [...]

I think most of us are battling some kind of lack of confidence in ourselves and how we look, from time to time, I know I certainly do. But lately I’ve been thinking about in which situations I feel the most beautiful and happy with myself and in which situations I don’t. This is so [...]

I have found certain types of oils working much better for me than many expensive skin care products. My skin is normal/dry with a tendency to become dehydrated in the winter and [...]

In L.A. I visited Barneys (Beverly Hills) absolutely divine perfume section and sniffed around even though I was not even looking to buy something. I stumbled upon the scents of the Swedish perfume house Byredo which my brother recently told me he has fallen in love with. I tried all of them and felt nice, [...]

As we’re nearing the end of the winter it is the time of the year when my skin is in the most need of some extra love care and hydration! I’ve used my regular routine until recently when I’ve started to grow a huge obsessions of beauty products, something that has never really interested me [...]

Every six months I go for a deep cleansing facial at one of the city’s best spa’s. It has become a part of my beauty routine and I think it gives such a new and fresh glow to a face that has suffered the dryness of winter or the burning hot sun of the summer. [...]
