Lunch at the beach
We are having Some wonderful warm summer days here on the southern coast of Norway. We enjoy a few days off before the upcoming wedding on Saturday and today was perfect to chill at the beach. We brought our sup (stand up paddle) board and had totally fun practicing and paddle. This is a wonderful and fun investment. It's not for small children but for teens and adults this is a perfect "toy". It's also pretty sustainable (even if it's made of rubber). It's definitely nothing you throw away after one or two times use like any other floating plastic toy.. it has more than one use and it might be used for both stand up paddle (like it's meant to) but also sitting, laying down, playing, floating, relaxing... I tried sup first time last ...
The cutest Crochet mobile purse
As you maybe already know, we're planning, shopping, packing and getting ready for the big big happening in our family next week: Camilla and Edvin's wedding! We are so exited and happy and we really are totally over the moon ... So, as we're all different personalities in the family we are all in different stages of our to-do list before we leave to the beautiful southern coast of Norway for the wedding .... the male members of the family are ... well ... probably doing this their male way ... they need to wash the car, assemble the suit, polish their shoes, maybe go to the barbershop...and then they are good to go... 😁 The girls ... we do it a bit differently... we have been planning, thinking, shopping, made lists, gathering ideas ...
Natural spray for natural beautiful looking hair
A few days ago I went to a party with some girl friends - it was so good seeing them and we chatted like girls do ... you know like talking about everything from saving the world, to every day life, kids, lifestyle... and then all of a sudden one of the girls complimented my hair. It made me so happy! Actually quite a few people have complimented my hair lately... and it's not because I just came out from the hair dresser ... because I didn't. So I thought maybe it's because I actually have hair now ... something I didn't two years ago when I was totally bold after chemotherapy.... maybe it's because I've grown my hair longer this year? But no. She told me my hair looks so youthful, shining and fresh, like I was 20 or something. So she made ...
Making my own luxury Rosewater
This summer season is filled with all the beauty and wonderful scents from all the flowers. Here in Scandinavia it's almost like one big firework during these short months of summer and daylight 24/7. I love it all so much! I love each and every beautiful flower. They all have their own uniqueness. It makes me want to capture it all, putting it in jars and preserve it, keeping it so I can find it during the long winter and remind me of natures beauty. So, every year I set out to make stuff based on flowers and plants I love. Today I want to share my homemade rose water. It's a simple but yet beautiful way to preserve the beauty, scent and color if the oh so wonderful wild roses. Who doesn't loooove the scent of roses?! I use my ...
DIY softening Foot salve
I love walking barefoot during summer feeling the grass or the soil or the sand under my feet makes me feel grounded or somehow closer to nature. Are you a barefoot walker? Does your feet get dry and does the skin crack during summertime? Maybe your feet need some love and care ? Today I want to share my favourite homemade foot salve with you. I definitely need to give my feet some extra love from time to time ... I mean they do a great job carrying me around all day ... and the skin gets dry and cracks if I don't take foot soak, use the foot scrub and use my footsalve. Cracked skin on the heel comes from dry, dead skin cells building up, so it's important to scrub the feet well before adding the salve. This salve is made from 100% ...
Cheers to the weekend
So, I was bragging about the unbelievably tasty elderflower limonade I got from my mom as a gift for my birthday. This limonade is so good and really versatile. You can mix it with water and drink it as limonade. You kan mix it with hot water, lemon and honey and drink it as tea (it's super good for your immune system) You can mix it with mineral water and a drop of freshly squeezed lemon or lime and drink it as a sparkling refreshment ... you can add it to your smoothie or any juice to add the delicious taste of elderflower... you can add it to sherbet, desserts, you can even mix it with a little bit of prosecco to make a summery, festive drink or mix it with white rhum, freshly squeezed lime, peppermint leaves, sugar and soda to make ...
Glitter girl solid perfume
I got this awesome Idea on instagram today and just had to do my own take on glittery solid perfume. It's summer, it's weekend it's perfect timing for this wonderful, natural, homemade perfume-glittery-cream. 1. The perfume is made of 100% natural, nontoxic, pure essential oils. 2. It won't vanish into the air so quickly (like store bought perfumes made of alcohol and synthetic fragrances) because we use heavy oils and beeswax as carrier oils, and these will sit on your skin and hold onto the scent of the essential oils added. 3. Natural glitter added to make your skin summery, glittery, beautiful. This will suit your tan perfectly and natural. I whipped up this solid glittery perfume in minutes, using only things I had on hand. ...
