Hello from the after party! Feeling lazy and tired in the most comfortable way. The kids are also exhausted, and since we live here in the middle of nowhere, there isn’t much to stress about. Yesterday, we arranged our annual summer party together with relatives and friends. So today, is all about long naps, iPad and snacking on yesterday’s foods. I’m still in my pajama’s and will be until I go to the sauna in the evening.

I know I’ve written about this tip before, but thought I’d do it again, since I remembered it myself a couple of weeks ago- coffee scrub! I’ve completely forgotten about it ever since we switched into our Nespresso machine.

When it comes to beauty, I try to give both skin and hair a rest, so I do hair and facial masks more frequently and exfoliate my body with natural ingredients. I love to blend up my own exfoliator using grounded coffee and honey/ coconut oil. It’s the best exfoliator I’ve ever tried, but only for the body. It’s too rough on the face and neck. It leaves the skin amazingly soft!

For the hair, I highly recommend L’Oréal Paris Smart bond treatment. My hairdresser recommended it for me, so now I have my own bottle and leave it in for 15 minutes, twice a week! Just easy and simple tips from me today. Hope you like them as much as I do.

This is how I want to spend my days. Preferably naked, but a bikini and cover-up works great too. I’ve been rocking this easy and natural hair style for a while now and really come to love it. Easy beach waves with just a touch of salt water spray after randomly working it through with a flat iron. I bend a little here and there to make it look naturally messy but super durable at the same time.

We’re back at the cottage (again) and enjoying every second. My anxiety is still doing ok, but slowly growing little by little when I think of school and daycare. It’s like a tiny little crumb growing into a little ball in my chest. I think we’ll never get completely used to it. Being away from each other gives me heart ache, but at the same time, I know it’s necessary to return to reality after living in this daydream for months. How are you doing?
