Skincare science and quick reviews
As I mention at the end of the video, that was supposed to be my September Empties. Yeah, I know. In my defense, I do have a ton of video ideas and barely any time to film and edit them, so I guess I will leave the “monthly” empties schedule and sneak them in as a Sunday bonus video whenever I find the time. What better way to spend a Sunday then talking about trash, am I right?
Way before my love affair with scented candles began, I loved the beeswax kind you could buy around Christmas. The warm color they had, the beautiful light and of course the smell of honey once you burned them, everything made me feel cozy and relaxed. Now that scented candles have taken over, I rarely buy one of them anymore, but I stumbled upon the scent in another product recently, way unexpected.

Again I have been collecting my empty skincare containers and the few bits of makeup that are actually not going to be used anymore and threw all in for a video. Go get yourself a cup of tea, as it is a long one, but you will be rewarded with mini-reviews and a whole lot of dirty packaging.

If you follow me on Pinterest, you may have noticed that I am pinning a lot of tips for so-called “natural hair”. Yes, that is right, tips most likely catered to afro-american locks. A quick glance at my profile picture in the sidebar will reveal what you already knew: That is by no means my hair. Fine, ash blonde and damaged from years of bleach, why on earth would I care what works for a hair type completely opposite to mine? I will tell you: I haven’t found anyone around the blogosphere that…
Time to throw away my empties once again this year. And because I don’t believe in waiting for New Years Eve to start something new, I figured that would be the perfect opportunity to film my first ever YouTube video!

A list of everything mentioned plus links to the reviews are below.
Sometimes you really think you are getting it right, just to find out a little later that you were totally wrong. The thing is: I don’t speak Spanish. I learned Latin at school, I speak French and usually I get around quite well whenever I try to order tapas, but I recently learned that I am in for surprises if I rely too much on that.

Now before all my (beautiful) dark or red haired readers feel set back, rest assured that I merely quote a movie title. A movie starring Marilyn Monroe, famous for being blonde. Of course she was many more things than that, and probably one of the most tragic and misunderstood women ever, but being the blonde bombshell will forever be linked to her. And while I am far from being a bombshell (not that I want to), I am a natural blonde. As most of us do, I darkened over the…
Have you been reading Fairy Tales as a child? The “real” ones by “Gebrüder Grimm” or “Hans-Christian Andersson”, not the watered down Disney versions? I have, and I loved them. Granted, they are full of violence, questionable behavior and scary creatures, but somehow they paint a picture about how life truly is. And that you shouldn’t believe every word you read. Doesn’t hurt to remind myself that the same goes for product claims. My hair has been highlighted way to much during the last 16 years of my life. Being…
To practice what you preach must be the hardest thing to do. At least for me. On and on I go about the importance of ingredients, about ALWAYS reading the INCIs and knowing what is good for you, but what do I do? I quickly browse the beauty isle of TKMaxx, spot a shampoo saying it contains no SLS (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) and without even glancing at the ingredients throw it in my basket. Organic Surge Moisture Boost Shampoo Risky business, I tell you! The one to distract me from…
Have you ever had the nightmare of loosing all your teeth? Probably. If you look it up in a “Dream Dictionary”, you are told it means you will receive a lot of money soon. Have you ever had the nightmare of loosing all your hair? Like running through it with your fingers and pulling out strand after strand? No need to look it up in a dictionary this time, I can tell you exactly what that means. No, I didn´t decide to cut a fringe… It means you had a…
