Happy Thursday friends and happy Valentine´s day,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

luckily my last work day for this week today (I am still sick and it takes me forever to get up and running in the morning, should have stayed at home the rest of the week). So we are going to stay in this evening and get a load of delicious chinese food. It is probably all I can think about today.

And since I have nothing planned for tomorrow I am finally going to tackle another section of my dressing room, after sleeping in (absolutely need that). The cardigan section. A cardigan is your perfect friend for upcoming spring weather (it is already around the corner friends – better weather !!) as you can wear it with and over almost everything so I want to know exactly what I have and what needs to be washed or fixed or donated.

The Look

But for today I have another winter inspired look (depends on where you are reading my blog from to dress accordingly to the weather). This was a kind of an untypical combination for me. Green and black but I loved it and it worked. I was wearing an all black look (black tights and booties, black faux leather skirt and black shirt) and paired it with a black and white faux fur vest and a fun green and black striped silk scarf. 

So guys we only have three or so cold weather looks to go and then it is going to be spring all over the blog. Color explosions, pastell frivolities and so much more.

My Beautician´s tips for better skin…

Keine Kommentare

….

Good morning guys,

(post contains affililiate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

today we are talking a little skin care over here. You might know I have started to go to the beautician a few months before my wedding because I wanted my skin to look the best possible.

I have been going there ever since every month and my skin improved a lot. I really have to admit it . It does help a lot when your skin gets „cleaned out“ of all the blackheads and pimples on a monthly base. I also enjoy my hour there a lot. It is my personal wellness for the day and so relaxing.

Talking to her about what I can do at home to make my skin look better and more flawless has also helped so I am sharing her top tips here today:

# 1 // Don´t drink unfiltered water from the pipes cause it is to dirty and it will reflect on your skin (better get yourself a water filter like from Brita – saves plastic bottles too).

# 2 // Don´t drink to much sparkling water – it overacidifies your body which is also bad for your skin.

# 3 // Help your skin to improve itself by taking zinc as a dietary supplement.

# 4 // Peel your face 2 x a week to make sure your skin doesn´t harden. It helps a lot for the skin cells to breathe and also takes away the old ones to help your skin renew itself.

# 5 // The two best ingredients in a lotion for acne prone skin are biotin and zinc (for example zinc is included in baby´s rash lotions).

#6 // Drink – if possible – 3 l of water/unsweetened tea/black coffee a day.

# 7 // Make sure to regularly get your skin cleaned out to maintain it and keep it at the same level.

# 8 // Try to eat not to much sugar, this is the same for fruit as they contain a lot of fructose and that isn´t the best for your skin either

# 9 // I also try to skip as much dairy as possible cause it is also supposed to be bad for your skin and to cause major breakouts and I overall feel better without it. My only weakness is queso!!

Also I have rounded-up all the products I am using currently in the widget below to fight my bad skin.

Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.

Hi guys,

(post contains affiliate links/Werbung/Markennennung/Beitrag enthält Affiliate Links-not sponsored)

I have a few wintery posts left to post but I am already full on spring outfit planning. I just can´t stand the snow and ice anymore (have a look at yesterday´s post) and as much as I love to include a  black piece of clothing into my look I am pretty over it. 

Nevertheless I wanted to share this adorable plaid poncho with you I got the other months. I is super soft and I have won it several times since I got it. Perfect to throw over and feel cozy.

I paired it with a matching beanie and my beloved dark red Michael Kors handbag. Also a pair of leather leggins is great to wear under a poncho. 

Are you already in spring fever and craving better weather ? Hopefully we get there soon. It is supposed to get better on the weekend so I hope the snow is going to finally melt away. So it is going to be spring looks next week. 

Also I am finally feeling better after being so sick one week. I really can´t remember the last time I have been so sick. Stupid flu season.

So have a nice evening and speak to you again tomorrow.

Escaping the cold and dark months of winter would be so nice. But after a long break over Christmas only working for a few weeks and then going back on vacation seems quite impossible. So I am dreaming away the days by thinking about white and sandy beaches, warm air on my skin and the smell of the ocean in my nose (although I have to admit I am really picky with tropcial getaways as I don´t like it super hot and humid).

Some days of winter are so dark I don´t even want to go outside (I have to because of Chloe but our walks are pretty short in the winter) and stay in bed under my blanket all day. I am sad that there are so many things you can´t do and also that it is dark all day, every day. This really hits hard on me but even if I went away it probably would be the same after we are back. So I am sitting here watching epidsodes where it is currently summer and hoping it will be over soon.

But let´s just think about the possibility and imagine what to pack. I went to Florida in Feburary for many times before I even had my blog and always packed too much although I really know what I needed and what not (overpacking hasn´t gotten better since then).

Colorful suitcase // Love the Suit Suit cases. They have the colorful turtle shell inspired line and also a retro line including lots of pastells. I have loved them ever since I got my first and got many more and also gifted some to family and friends. The qualitiy is great and therefore the prices very reasonable.

Flowy dresses // An absolute summer statement piece whether going out in the evening or wearing it throughout the day.They even look great as a beach cover-up. 

Bathing suits // No words needed. 

Sandals // Best to pack one pair of every heels. Flat, block heel and high heels.

Basket bags // Perfect addition to spring and summer looks. Basket bags asdd such an ease to summer looks.

Beach bag // A necessity for beach days. 

Sunglasses // I always like to bring two or three sunglasses to a trip to match my looks but also sometimes I get uncomfortable wearing the same pair for days and I am glad if I have a back-up with me to change.

Suncream // Super important for beach vacations or tropical getaways. The sun is intense and even more after we have been hiding our pale body´s in lots of clothes the last months.

Are you also dreaming or are you heading somewhere nice and warm? I would love to know. Thanks for stopping by. Take care. See you.
