Thoughts on being a 30+ blogger

There are age categories for everything, and usually I don’t pay them much attention. My skincare for example ranges from products aimed at teenage skin to an ampoule targeted at skin 60+ (here is the latest routine). Age is a number and a privilege and doesn’t define us. Or does it? A few days ago my fellow “mature” blogger Toni from Sheer Gloss and I chatted on Twitter about blogging after you reach a certain age. Which sounds awful. Mature, certain age… I am still the one giggling…

LLL Vlogs 39 – Las Fallas

From the snowy mountains right to Las Fallas, the spring festival of Valencia and the Valencia area. Sounds glamorous? Oh yes! If only I hadn’t caught my sons stomach bug and spend one of the two days we had in the beautiful city hugging the hotel room toilet. TMI? Sorry! Oh well, kids stay with you even if you leave them at home with the grandparents, I guess. It was a blast nonetheless, and I managed to capture quite a bit of the festivities on camera. Some of the…

LLL Vlogs 38 – Galtür

I spend the last six days wearing barely any makeup and here is what happened: Nothing. I mean, what was supposed to happen? This is one of those annoying clickbait titles that repeatedly grace my blog lovin recommendations feed and that make me usually doubt humanity in general and beauty lovers in particular. But there, I wrote it, and it is true. I did barely wear any makeup. Not because I didn’t bring any. I did. Or because I purposefully decided to let my skin “breathe”. I didn’t.…

LLL Vlogs 37 – Travel plans

Don’t be fooled by the pretty picture! There are no sunsets in this video, in fact the sun has long set and you will only get to see me, fresh from the shower (in clothes!) and with a towel wrapped around my head. Wait, that sounds off. I didn’t obviously shower in clothes, I meant that I put on clothes after the shower to film the video. Even though, given how I was feeling when I filmed it, I would not have been surprised if I had forgotten…

LLL Vlogs 36 – Getting my hair done

I really have no explanation why it always takes me so long book an appointment to get my hair done. I mean, the experience is nothing but pleasant! Even if you leave the whole “New hair, beautiful me” – thing aside, what is not to love? Sitting in a chair with some tea and a book for more than two hours without getting up to a) wipe up spilled milk or b) wipe a bottom or c) wipe away tears due to spilled milk or wiping a bottom…

LLL Vlogs 35 – Cake and Chanel

There are some struggles with motherhood that no one really prepares you for. And I am not talking sleepless nights and complete loss of privacy here. I talk about the struggles you face when your kids develop their own taste and it is completely different to yours. “It is a phase!” is what people tell me, and I cling on to that hope like a drowning woman. Because right now all my daughter wants is pink, glitter and unicorns. And if you know me just a little, pink,…

The Birthday Tag – LLL Vlogs 34

Do birthdays in your family also come in multiples? We have seven to celebrate from February 7th to March 12th, then months with only a few sprinkled in, and then again four within three weeks time starting October. Needless to say that birthdays and party planning are keeping me occupied right now. Mine has come and gone, with no celebration due to the fact that I was a) sick and b) turning 39, which didn’t feel like a huge milestone. Next up is my daughters, she will be…

Alpengasthof Schwand – Let´s go to the mountains

Revisiting a place under changed circumstances is risky business. The changed circumstances I am talking about this time is having two kids. But let me explain: In early May we had a week off and decided, pretty spontaneously, to take the kids to the mountains. Both Mr. Loca and I are into hiking and climbing, but of course going to the mountains with kids is more about walking and eating then it is about alpine sports. We had stayed in “Alpengasthof Schwand” twice before, both times just the…

LLL Vlogs – Friends and facials

February is usually a pretty exciting month for me. I mean, we all do expect a little bit of action around our birthday, don´t we? Well, for the last few years my birthday was a pretty low key event. In fact the last big celebration with friends was when I turned 30. To explain that, let me quickly walk you through the years that followed.

LLL Vlogs – Looking back at Christmas

I know I am late, sharing with you the time leading up to Christmas now that it is already 2017 and we don’t want to be reminded of the countless amounts of cookies we had or mulled wine we consumed. But I promise, it is not all Christmas lights and presents, it is basically my life before and after getting back to work and a little update on my skincare and makeup picks.
