Hair Ways… My Haircare Routine!

I thought, it had been quite a while since, I talked about haircare and that an updated haircare routine was well overdue.

Compared to others, my haircare routine is quite simple, but it works and even though I might throw in and test some new products once in while, I keep it quite stable.

I have fine Scandinavian hair, but quite a lot of it! 

Further my hair is also very prone to get greasy very quickly - I did for several years try to wash only every second day, in the hope that it would at some point result in my hair not getting so easily greasy. 

I never reached that point and it just meant a huge consumption of dry shampoo, which did leave my scalp itchy and dry.

 So a few years in I decided to wash my hair whenever I felt like, I wanted to - which does mean pretty much every single day and I don't feel like my hair feels any less healthy now. However my scalp is feeling such much better.

So the moral is, don't always listen to the "clever" people, you know your hair and what works for you best.

With that said, lets look at my routine.

Red Alert… S/S 17 Style Inspiration - The Colour!

So for this next installment of my S/S inspiration, I will share the colour, which I predict (together with many high street shops) will be huge the coming seasons.

Red is the bold and sexy older sister to another season favourite pink. 

Pink have made into pretty much every aspect of my life, however the red, I will keep to my wardrobe, but here I actually do prefer it to the pink. I am however toying with the idea of a red and pink outfit, whether I will be brave enough time will tell.

I will however for sure be pairing the red with some of the other trends, I will be including in this little series - and this is really the idea, that all of the trends can be mixed and matched together and some items might even cover several trends in one.

Budget Beauty… Essence Lip "Sticks"!

Essence recently launched in Denmark. It is so cheap, that it is really hard to resist, but I tried to restrain myself and did only get one Velvet Stick at first. But I was so excited by that one, that I had to try out more - luckily the range isn't to wide, which set a natural limit.

So I have tried and tested both the Velvet Sticks and a Glossy Stick, and with out revealing to much, I think both a comparable to a high end version, we all love.

Alternative Stripes… S/S 17 Style Inspiration - The Pattern!

Over the next couple of weeks, I will be sharing some spring/summer style inspiration - I will try to stay away from the obvious trends and share with you some of the items, shapes, colours, I will be wearing these coming seasons, that might not be the ones mentioned over and over again, but still have shown their presence on the high street.

It is no secret, that I love stripes. Stripes just always go and there is a reason it is often associated with parisian chic.

My eye always gets drawn towards stripes, but recently I have seen quite a lot of new stripes in the mix differing from the classic blue/white or black/white - and I like it.

I have gathered some of my favourites from the high street to inspire you to try out this classic piece in a new form.

Just a bit meh… Three products that didn't really do it for me!

There are the products, that wow me and then there are the products, that disappoint. 

These three doesn't really fit into either category - they aren't bad and I have used them, they are just not  products, I would ever consider to repurchase and every time I use them, it just does not look or feel right.

And most important I would not recommend them to any one asking me, what I think about them.

Pink me, please… Trend Inspiration - Pink!

Pink is the perfect example on how, when we are exposed to something enough, our eyes, not only get use to it, but also starts to quite enjoy it.

Pink has never been a "hate-colour" for me, and I have always been drawn towards the bubblegum pinks. But recently I find myself liking more and more pink items - and this is without a doubt because the "industry" wants me to feel this way.

I have no doubt, that pink is going to be a big one for spring/summer and I really don't mind.

The highstreet shops still have most in the light dusty almost beige version, but I think and hope we will see a lot more of the brighter pinks.

Here are some of my top picks and inspiration for pink item.

1. H&M Bomber // 2. H&M Knit //  3. Weekday Shirt // 4. Weekday Beanie //
// 5. Nike Sneakers // 6. ASOS Backpack //
// 7. Essie I need a Vacation // 8. H&M Velvet Pillow // 9. H&M Throw //

Starting out good… Current Beauty Favourites!

So again I have been away for a while - the final stages of a thesis don't only take time but also mind space!

But this week inspiration kind of came back to me and I have some products, I really want to share with you.

So here are my current beauty favourites - all are new discoveries and pretty much every one of them have made it to the top of the list in their category and will for sure become firm favourites.

A Good Start… Breakfast Inspiration - Smoothie Bowl with homemade Granola!

You have probably heard it a million times before, but breakfast is such an important meal.

For me it is especially important right now, because it often double as both breakfast and lunch for me, as I really utilise, that I have the freedom to sleep in, while finishing my thesis.

To avoid ending up snacking to much on bad thing,s until I have dinner, a good solid breakfast is essential.

I have tried the oatmeal, but I hate the texture and no matter how many toppings I added, I never really enjoyed it.

In the summer I tried an Acai Bowl for the first time and I loved the idea of the fresh and thick smoothie filled with fruit and berries together with the crunchy granola and fresh fruit on top.

I have found a bunch of different versions, but with a bit of trial and error, I have now reached my favourite combination.

So below I will share with you my version of the smoothie bowl and how I make my very simple granola.

New in Nails… My Autumn/Winter Nail Polish Additions!

As I mentioned before, I really try to limit myself to only 2-3 new polishes per season - I do however divide my nail year into four seasons.

I'm quite pleased with my Autumn/Winter picks for this year, even though some of them didn't really turn out to be, what I really wanted once on my nails.

Lets take a closer look at them.

Happy New Year… My Top 16 Favourite Beauty Discoveries of 2016!

First of all, happy New Year - I hope, you all made it into the new year safe and happy.

To begin the year right, I have gathered the beauty products, that I tried for the first time this year and loved.

It is always a hard task, but I tried to narrow it down (but I did cheat just a little bit).

I will do the same as last year and only do a small mention of each product.

I will also do honourable mentions at the end with products, that was runner ups to make it to the official list.
