✨ End of year musings ✨ First of all, thanks ✨ End of year musings ✨

First of all, thanks to everyone who’s not my mom or an old acquaintance from my past lol for sticking around yet another slow content year❣️No hard feelings if you do an yearly clean up and I don’t make the cut for next year though 😅

As much as I would like to come back and deliver informative content like everyone else… I’ve had to accept that I shine brighter in other settings. IG may be a wonderful medium for others but for me it’s been nothing than hitting my head against the wall and complaining why my head hurts. 🤕 And since consciously taking a backseat in 2020, I’ve proven myself that I don’t suck as much as I had myself believe. In my case, if life throws you lemons don’t try to make lemonade, ask why and from where they’re being thrown. 😅 

✨2021 BEST… ✨

TV-show… White Lotus and Ted Lasso
- The fact that I just started binging Ted Lasso two days ago and it’s quickly become the best thing I’ve watched says a lot! 😂

Investment… @melissawoodhealth app
- Without a doubt❣️Stopped going to the gym, lifting and doing regular HIIT workouts, swapped it for walks and bite sized pilates. Finally lost the weight I gained and feeling comfortable in my skin. 🧘🏻‍♀️

Achievement… Luxury bargains and facing fears
- Price is relative, patience is gold, and facing fears makes you more bold. 😏

Life lesson… “You are not who you think you are”
- As we get older we often start identifying ourselves with certain behavior, smarts, and likes. We tell ourselves lies of who we are and what we’re capable of. Usually influenced by others around us, past beliefs and societal opinions. Lies limiting our truest potential and deepest desires. By ridding myself of old limiting beliefs I’ve surprised and even shocked myself with how multi-talented and diverse my identity can be. 💫 

On that note, I’ll end by wishing you all a happy new year! Hope you’ll tag along for the next ✨♥️
Don’t you just love it when an expensive product Don’t you just love it when an expensive product doesn’t work for you? Or maybe you hate it as it was a waste of money 😅😝

It’s really worth repeating that a higher price tag doesn’t always = amazing results. What I’ve learned is that there are many different factors at play when it comes to pricing. Some brands want to offer new and exclusive formulations with studies behind them. Which isn’t cheap. Others are just starting off small batch, wanting to make it full time. And some just want the rich as their target consumer (looking at you Dr Sturm 🧐). And that’s all fine. 💁🏻‍♀️

I forgot the point I wanted to make. 😅 

But if you’re interested in hearing my thoughts on some expensive Allies of Skin-products, hop on over to my blog! ☺️ (Link in bio) 

Hint: The most expensive product was my least favorite. 👀

🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼 Been busy… figu 🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼

Been busy… figuring out if math is related to science…
– And I’ll say no more until I know for sure. 🤔 But one thing’s for sure, there are such things as stupid questions. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keeping me grounded… Movement and active rest🧘🏻‍♀️
– with the help of the @balance app I’ve been trying to make at least 5 min of deep pause a daily habit to increase focus, motivation and understanding. And I’ve been surprisingly calmer compared to my other counterparts. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best summer memory… Rooftop Pool 😎
– Not to mention that awkward encounter with people from high school 🙈😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
New in beauty 🧖🏻‍♀️:
– Bioderma Cicabio Cream
– Ouai Air Dry Foam
– Skincity Skincare Kit
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Contemplating a lot on… What exactly defines one’s identity?
– And do we really have one or do we just tell ourselves that? 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best purchase… Zara Seamless wear
– One of those, “insta made me do it”. 😄 I haven’t bought anything from Zara in years, but this they did good ⭐️ The most comfy, stretchy and soft leisure wear I’ve ever had👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeling good about… Myself 🥰
– The positive side effect of being off social media. 😏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On my wishlist… the Dyson Supersonic 💇🏻‍♀️
– Kind of embarrassing to want one. 🙄 The price is ridiculous. And I’ll probably won’t be happy with it because of the high pitch sound only I seem to recognize 🙉 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Favorite streams 📺… “White Lotus” and “Mare of Easttown”
– Loved the mix of Faulty Towers meets murder mystery in White Lotus. And who can hate on anything starring Kate Winslet? 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m looking forward to…  Countdown to Christmas🎄
– Can’t wait to open advent calendars! And just like last year, I got myself one filled with beauty products 😁✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How has the past few months been for you? What new product are you loving?
✨🌸 CUSTOM HAIR CARE 🌸✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been using @functionofbeauty since February when I got them for my birthday. This is a brand I've been eyeing since they launched. 😍 The idea of customized hair care appealed to me as I always felt I had to let go of certain aspects. If I want volume, I can't have moisture, and if I wanted curl action, I will not get volume, etc. With customized hair care, I can make a formula that checks all my boxes... Well, so I thought. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've realized that there are a few issues surrounding customed stuff... 🙄 In the case of FoB, the customer is responsible to know their hair and what it needs. However, I would say, that the majority of us don't have a clue! 🙈 Like, in my case, I chose goals after my wants, not necessarily what my hair needs. 😶 You would think those two go hand in hand, but they don't!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it didn't end up in disaster, my expectations weren't met. But I can't blame the product or the brand, because I chose the formula. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This brings me to my next issue...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are literally more than ten thousand combinations to try. Which is one too many if the first concoction doesn't work for you. I mean, I'd rather try out a different line, than try to puzzle the right pieces together. 🙇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are other brands, like @prose (only US atm), where the customization is more like a consultation. So rather than you picking what you think would work, you do a quiz answering stuff about your hair and health. What's also interesting is that they take into account your environment and its humidity level. Which I think is genius! Nevertheless, even that won't totally guarantee the formula will work for you. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I can only speak for _this particular formula_ and how it worked with _my hair_, if you are interested to read my experience hop on over to my blog! 👉🏼 link in bio.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried custom hair care?
🌸 Quarter Two Musings 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just started... knitting a summer top with dropped stitches I started a year ago
- I've frogged it twice in a year lol. Hopefully, third's a charm! 🤞🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been reading... The Beauty Detox Power by @_kimberlysnyder
- A book I’ve been meaning to read for years now. But everything has its divine timing. ✨ The message could’ve not been received more deeply than now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m obsessing about… Cults
– As someone who loves psychology I've been utterly fascinated by cults lately. Loved watching all the NXIVM documentaries and started to see concerning patterns...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve recently been bothered by... Microcult behavior in the beauty community (and social media overall)
- It’s like deja vu, and I feel like I’m the only one who sees it. Everyone thinks they are doing good and no one's pointing out the harm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've enjoyed… morning walks
-  In a quest to avoid sun rash and control weight gain I moved my lunch walks to mornings and made them longer too. Can happily inform you that I've not suffered sun rash this year 👍🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most played songs… 
🎵 This must be the place - Talking Heads
🎵 This Wild Darkness (Loaded remix) - Moby
🎵 On Ice - Michael Nau
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My latest purchase… a small Pilates ball
– Slowly building my own home gym. This and a pair of ankle weights has really amplified results. 💪🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've got my eye on… Milk Makeup Sunshine Skin Tint
– It's finally available in Sweden and now with more shades. Hopefully, will be able to do a swatch once I'm in Stockholm and see if it lives up to its hype.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm looking forwards to... celebrating 11 years with my boyfriend 🥳
– On this date, 11 yrs ago, I met my soul mate at a christening of all things. 😂 I knew back then that it's forever or never. ❤
Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention they deserve are the Avéne B Protect and Bioderma Anti-Redness. Both of which are tinted and deliver a high SPF of 50+. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you care to read a more detailed comparison, head to my blog! 👉🏼 Link in bio!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the short version 👇🏼
I would repurchase both! But do lean more towards Bioderma AR being the favorite 🌟 It's fragrance-free and water-resistant, unlike B Protect. Has a sheer yellowish tint that blends in better into my light to medium complexion. It's also more hydrating and has soothing ingredients which are great for my normal/dry acne-prone skin. The B Protect has things going for it too, like more coverage and less dewy finish. But in general, for my skin, the Bioderma AR felt like a better fit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up both and tested them out during winter/spring. So I can't, unfortunately, say how well they wear up during summer. But considering their small size (only 30ml 🙄), I would recommend opting for something that gives you more bang for your bucks as you will probably go through a tube pretty quickly in the summer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried these two? Tell me your thoughts below!

In addition to a practical basics kit to get started with kegel exercises (see earlier post), @sinful.eu also offers organic intimate products. Their Kaerlig-line is produced in Denmark with a high proportion of organic and natural ingredients. Most products are also Nordic Swan Eco-labeled and allergy-tested. 👌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've tested out their organic lubricant and O gel, both of which are latex and toy-safe. I was very skeptical about the O gel and have never tried any O enhancing product before. But got a (quite literally 😊️) warm surprise of how well it works! Have you tried anything similar or am I late for the train?

Förutom ett praktiskt baskit för att komma igång med knipövningar (se några inlägg ner), erbjuder Sinful även ekologiska intimprodukter. Deras serie Kaerlig är producerad i Danmark med hög andel ekologiska och naturliga ingredienser. De flesta prordukter är även svenenmärkta och allergitestade. 👌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jag har fått testa deras ekologiska glidmedel och x gel, båda som är säkra att använda tillsamamns med latex och leksakerna. Jag var väldigt skeptiskt mot o-gelen och har aldrig testat något liknande tidigare. Men vart (bokstavligen 😊️) varmt överraskad hur bra den fungerar! Har ni testat något liknande eller är jag sen till tåget? 😅

Biosolis Suncare | Sun Spray SPF50 & Melt-In Cream SPF30

Biosolis Suncare Sun Spray SPF50 & Melt-In Cream SPF30

Scrolls for Swedish!

This summer I’ve been trying out organic suncare from Biosolis. Biosolis relies on physical sun protection (mainly Titanium Dioxide) and is suited for sensitive skin. What makes them differ from other organic suncare brands is that they also include Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil (Karanja oil) in their products. Karanja extracts have recently been found to be a new alternative to boosting sun protection. As the study concludes:

“Pongamol and karanjin extracts were found to be extremely good absorbents of the UV rays in the UVA and B regions, we can positively conclude that the seed of P. pinnata contain such photo-absorptive compounds which when put together in a single herbal formulation like ointments, lotions or creams can give rise to an extremely effective sunscreen preparation showing its protective action throughout the broad ultraviolet region. The plant oil extracts can be used along with other established standard drugs, as it will enhance and effectively contribute to the UV absorbing properties of the sunscreen.” – Determination of In -Vitro Sunscreen Activity of Pongamia Pinnata (L.) Essential Oil


Biosolis Suncare Sun Spray SPF50

Biosolis | Melt-In Cream SPF30 & Sun Spray SPF50*

I brought these two with me on our trip to Crete, in the middle of heated August, to really see how well they protect. Even though we rented cars through sites like rental-center-crete.com, in the hopes of seeing what this Island had to offer, we still felt like applying suncream every day was important, as we would still be outside regardless. We didn’t want to be in a different country and have to stay inside from being sunburnt. Anyway, the melt-in cream won the Swedish Organic Beauty Awards earlier this year, so I was very excited to test it out! As for Crete itself, we found it to be a great holiday destination that is definitely worth recommending. If you’re looking at Crete for a holiday of your own, you might be interested in a car rental service such as e-mietwagenkreta that can sort out all of your transport during your time on the Island. Both include perfume, but very mildly, and to the point that you understand that if they didn’t include some sort of scent this might’ve not smelled any good. I’d describe the scent very much like Pai’s rosehip oil if you’ve ever smelled it before. Otherwise, “play dough” is what comes to my head. As I’m an advocate of avoiding perfume as much as possible in skincare products, I have to say that this one is okay to use and shouldn’t feel disturbing on the skin. But everyone’s different.

Sun Spray

As my boyfriend got burned on the first day in Fuerteventura by spending as little as 10-15 minutes in the sun earlier this year, we weren’t taking any chances with the Cretan August sun! Because of his lighter Scandinavian skin, my boyfriend got to be the main test-bunny of this sunscreen as he was the only one who could provide some fair results. The Sun Spray is very liquid and therefore it’s in a spray bottle. It’s easy to work into the skin and dries without feeling sticky. It does leave a somewhat white cast on the skin, but still better than most physical sunscreens. I was a bit skeptic on how well it would work, as it only contains Titanium Dioxide, which is mostly known to protect best from UVB. However, it’s the UVB that causes sunburns. Overall, this sunscreen helped my boyfriend protect his neck, shoulders, chest, and back the first days. He still got a decent tan, but without the burn! Biosolis Suncare Melt-In Cream SPF30

Melt-in Cream

This one comes out as a thick cream that, like the name suggests, melts into your skin when you massage it in. This one leaves almost no white residue if you take your time with it. If you’re quick, it will show. The melt-in cream can feel a bit more sticky, especially in hot weather. However, I kind of liked that about it. I would usually use it on my decolletage, shoulders, and arms, and it would have that glowing look of suntan oil. I don’t know about you, but that’s a positive glow! Half-in our vacation, my boyfriend switched to this one, as his skin started to adjust. And he also very much liked the way this one disappeared into the skin without looking like you obviously have sunscreen on. It also felt very hydrating and didn’t get stuck on any leg- and arm-hair.

Conclusion

We survived the Cretan sun with no sunburns. It’s been a week since we got home, and the tan isn’t peeling off in batches either! So I’ll call Biosolis a success! We both enjoyed the melt-in cream so much that we almost finished the whole bottle through the 8 days we spent in Crete! We’re definitely planning on repurchasing it for next summer vacation! You can never have too much suncream after all. And finding the best one is equally as important, especially if you’re going to somewhere like Crete or Barbados (with the latter on my wishlist). Can you think of anything better than renting the most gorgeous of villas in the Barbados sun? I can’t, and my friend has already pointed me in the direction of somewhere like Exceptional Villas, (https://www.exceptionalvillas.com/barbados) so I can have a look at the ones that could be available. I don’t want to miss out on the opportunity to do so. But for now, just finding a suncream that could be suitable for any destination is a priority, and I think I’ve met that criteria. I’m intrigued to also test out their suntan oil with SPF from solely Karanja oil, and perhaps add the after-sun milk, as I felt that I had forgotten to pack a hydrating body lotion.

Svenska

I sommar har jag provat ekologiskt solskydd från Biosolis. Biosolis bygger på fysiskt solskydd (främst titandioxid) och är anpassat för känslig hud. Det som skiljer dem från andra ekologiska och naturaliga solskyddsmärken är att de också innehåller Pongamia Glabra Seed Oil (Karanjaolja) i sina produkter. Karanja-extrakt har nyligen visat sig vara ett nytt alternativ för att öka solskyddet. Som studien summerar:

“Pongamol- och karanjin-extrakt har visat sig vara extremt bra absorberande medel i UV-strålarna i UVA- och B-regionerna. Vi kan positivt dra slutsatsen att fröet av P. pinnata innehåller sådana fotoabsorberande föreningar som vid sammansättning att när den används i örtberedningar som salvor, lotioner eller krämer kan ge upphov till en extremt effektiv solskyddsmedel som visar sin skyddande verkan i hela den breda ultravioletta regionen. Växtoljextrakten kan användas tillsammans med andra etablerade standarddroger, eftersom det kommer att förbättra och effektivt bidra till UV-absorberande egenskaper hos solskyddsmedel.” – Determination of In -Vitro Sunscreen Activity of Pongamia Pinnata (L.) Essential Oil


Biosolis | Melt-In Cream SPF30 & Sun Spray SPF50*

Jag tog med mig dessa två på vår resa till Kreta, mitt i varma och soliga augusti, för att verkligen testa hur bra de skyddar. Melt-in-krämen vann de svenska Organic Beauty Awards tidigare i år, så jag var väldigt nyfiken på att få testa den! Båda har parfym, men väldigt mildt, och till den punkt att man nästan förstår att om de inte inkluderade någon form av doft kanske de skulle ha lukat lite mysko. Jag skulle beskriva doften att vara likt Pai nyponfröolja, annars är “play dough” det som dyker upp i mitt huvud. Eftersom jag är en förespråkare för att undvika parfym så mycket som möjligt i hudvårdsprodukter så måste jag säga att de här produkterna har en så pass mild doft att den bör inte kännas störande av huden. Men alla är olika.

Solsprej

Då min pojkvän tidigare i år råka bränna sig under första dagen i Fuerteventura, genom att spendera så lite som 10-15 minuter i solen, tog vi inga chanser med den Kretiska augustisolen! På grund av sin ljusa skandinaviska hy, fick min pojkvän vara den främsta testkaninen av detta solskyddsmedel, eftersom han var den enda som kunde ge några rättvisa resultat. Min hy anpassar sig fort, så SPF50 är lite väl mycket för mig, sen är skillnaden mellan SPF30 och SPF50 väldigt marginal. Solsprayen är väldigt flytande och finns därför i en sprayflaska. Det är lätt att arbeta i huden och torkar utan att kännas klibbig. Det lämnar en något vit på huden, men ser bättre ut än de flesta fysiska solskyddsmedel. Jag var lite skeptisk på hur bra det skulle fungera, eftersom den bara innehåller titandioxid, som mestadels är känt för att skydda bäst mot UVB; det är dock UVB som orsakar bränd hy. I det stora hela så hjälpte detta solskydd min pojkvän att skydda hans nacke, axlar, bröst och rygg de första dagarna. Han lyckades bli brun, istället för röd! Och kunde gott njuta av solen utan att behöva bära långärmat resten av resan – vilket skulle ha varit jobbigt i 30 graders värme!

Melt-In Cream

Denna kommer ut som en tjock kräm och, som namnet antyder, smälter in i huden när du masserar in den. Den här lämnar nästan inga vita rester om du tar din tid på dig. Om du är snabb, kommer den att synas. Den smälta krämen kan känna lite mer klibbig och oljig, speciellt i varmt väder. Men jag tyckte om det. Jag smörjde vanligen de höga punkterna, mitt dekolletage, axlar och armar, och den gav av ett sånt där lyster som sololja vanligtvis ger. Under halva semsetertiden växlade min pojkvän till den här, eftersom hans hud började anpassa sig. Och han tyckte också väldigt mycket om hur den här försvann i huden utan att se ut som om du självklart har solskydd på. Den kändes också väldigt återfuktande och fastnade inte på något av ben- och armhåren.

Slutsats

Vi överlevde den Kretiska solen utan att bränna oss. Det har gått en vecka sedan vi kom hem, och vår bruna hud håller sig utan att peela bort i stora fläckar. Så jag kan gått säga att Biosolis skyddade oss bra! Vi båda älskade melt-in krämen så pass att vi nästan tog slut på hela flaskan under de 8 dagarna vi tillbringade på Kreta! Vi planerar definitivt ett återköp till nästa sommar! Jag är intresserad av att även testa Biosolis sololja med spf från enbart Karanja-olja, och kanske lägga till deras after-sun milk, eftersom jag kände att jag hade glömt att packa en mer återfuktande kroppslotion.

🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼 Been busy… figu 🌼 Quarter Three Musings 🌼

Been busy… figuring out if math is related to science…
– And I’ll say no more until I know for sure. 🤔 But one thing’s for sure, there are such things as stupid questions. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Keeping me grounded… Movement and active rest🧘🏻‍♀️
– with the help of the @balance app I’ve been trying to make at least 5 min of deep pause a daily habit to increase focus, motivation and understanding. And I’ve been surprisingly calmer compared to my other counterparts. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best summer memory… Rooftop Pool 😎
– Not to mention that awkward encounter with people from high school 🙈😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
New in beauty 🧖🏻‍♀️:
– Bioderma Cicabio Cream
– Ouai Air Dry Foam
– Skincity Skincare Kit
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Contemplating a lot on… What exactly defines one’s identity?
– And do we really have one or do we just tell ourselves that? 👀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Best purchase… Zara Seamless wear
– One of those, “insta made me do it”. 😄 I haven’t bought anything from Zara in years, but this they did good ⭐️ The most comfy, stretchy and soft leisure wear I’ve ever had👌🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Feeling good about… Myself 🥰
– The positive side effect of being off social media. 😏
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
On my wishlist… the Dyson Supersonic 💇🏻‍♀️
– Kind of embarrassing to want one. 🙄 The price is ridiculous. And I’ll probably won’t be happy with it because of the high pitch sound only I seem to recognize 🙉 😂
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Favorite streams 📺… “White Lotus” and “Mare of Easttown”
– Loved the mix of Faulty Towers meets murder mystery in White Lotus. And who can hate on anything starring Kate Winslet? 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m looking forward to…  Countdown to Christmas🎄
– Can’t wait to open advent calendars! And just like last year, I got myself one filled with beauty products 😁✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How has the past few months been for you? What new product are you loving?
✨🌸 CUSTOM HAIR CARE 🌸✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been using @functionofbeauty since February when I got them for my birthday. This is a brand I've been eyeing since they launched. 😍 The idea of customized hair care appealed to me as I always felt I had to let go of certain aspects. If I want volume, I can't have moisture, and if I wanted curl action, I will not get volume, etc. With customized hair care, I can make a formula that checks all my boxes... Well, so I thought. 😅
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've realized that there are a few issues surrounding customed stuff... 🙄 In the case of FoB, the customer is responsible to know their hair and what it needs. However, I would say, that the majority of us don't have a clue! 🙈 Like, in my case, I chose goals after my wants, not necessarily what my hair needs. 😶 You would think those two go hand in hand, but they don't!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While it didn't end up in disaster, my expectations weren't met. But I can't blame the product or the brand, because I chose the formula. 🤷🏻‍♀️ This brings me to my next issue...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are literally more than ten thousand combinations to try. Which is one too many if the first concoction doesn't work for you. I mean, I'd rather try out a different line, than try to puzzle the right pieces together. 🙇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are other brands, like @prose (only US atm), where the customization is more like a consultation. So rather than you picking what you think would work, you do a quiz answering stuff about your hair and health. What's also interesting is that they take into account your environment and its humidity level. Which I think is genius! Nevertheless, even that won't totally guarantee the formula will work for you. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While I can only speak for _this particular formula_ and how it worked with _my hair_, if you are interested to read my experience hop on over to my blog! 👉🏼 link in bio.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried custom hair care?
🌸 Quarter Two Musings 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just started... knitting a summer top with dropped stitches I started a year ago
- I've frogged it twice in a year lol. Hopefully, third's a charm! 🤞🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been reading... The Beauty Detox Power by @_kimberlysnyder
- A book I’ve been meaning to read for years now. But everything has its divine timing. ✨ The message could’ve not been received more deeply than now.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m obsessing about… Cults
– As someone who loves psychology I've been utterly fascinated by cults lately. Loved watching all the NXIVM documentaries and started to see concerning patterns...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve recently been bothered by... Microcult behavior in the beauty community (and social media overall)
- It’s like deja vu, and I feel like I’m the only one who sees it. Everyone thinks they are doing good and no one's pointing out the harm.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've enjoyed… morning walks
-  In a quest to avoid sun rash and control weight gain I moved my lunch walks to mornings and made them longer too. Can happily inform you that I've not suffered sun rash this year 👍🏼 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most played songs… 
🎵 This must be the place - Talking Heads
🎵 This Wild Darkness (Loaded remix) - Moby
🎵 On Ice - Michael Nau
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My latest purchase… a small Pilates ball
– Slowly building my own home gym. This and a pair of ankle weights has really amplified results. 💪🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've got my eye on… Milk Makeup Sunshine Skin Tint
– It's finally available in Sweden and now with more shades. Hopefully, will be able to do a swatch once I'm in Stockholm and see if it lives up to its hype.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm looking forwards to... celebrating 11 years with my boyfriend 🥳
– On this date, 11 yrs ago, I met my soul mate at a christening of all things. 😂 I knew back then that it's forever or never. ❤
Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention Two tinted sunscreens that don't get the attention they deserve are the Avéne B Protect and Bioderma Anti-Redness. Both of which are tinted and deliver a high SPF of 50+. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you care to read a more detailed comparison, head to my blog! 👉🏼 Link in bio!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For the short version 👇🏼
I would repurchase both! But do lean more towards Bioderma AR being the favorite 🌟 It's fragrance-free and water-resistant, unlike B Protect. Has a sheer yellowish tint that blends in better into my light to medium complexion. It's also more hydrating and has soothing ingredients which are great for my normal/dry acne-prone skin. The B Protect has things going for it too, like more coverage and less dewy finish. But in general, for my skin, the Bioderma AR felt like a better fit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I picked up both and tested them out during winter/spring. So I can't, unfortunately, say how well they wear up during summer. But considering their small size (only 30ml 🙄), I would recommend opting for something that gives you more bang for your bucks as you will probably go through a tube pretty quickly in the summer.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried these two? Tell me your thoughts below!

Don’t forget, it doesn’t matter. How you are o Don’t forget, it doesn’t matter.
How you are or who you are. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re allowed to brag and you can stay quiet. 
You’re allowed to complain and you can stay away.
You’re allowed to have everything and show nothing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You do not have to do anything outside yourself or be anyone else to have what you want. 
Just be true to yourself at all cost.
Don’t be ashamed of your genuine wants. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Everything is allowed. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are no rules on how to succeed. 
It will happen for you too eventually. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It’s always in your orbit.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Stop the rituals of what to expect. 
Only be your unapologetic self and know that you are already worthy of what is on its way. 
Own your dreams and what you deeply want to experience. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Make peace with your past and know you’re expansive.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Whenever envy is expressed, see it as an reminder of what you’re not giving yourself.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The stars don’t tell the way without your belief in them. 
That’s why it doesn’t matter,
As you, and only you, hold the power.
💕 Kaerlig 💕 #paidcollaboration

In addition to a practical basics kit to get started with kegel exercises (see earlier post), @sinful.eu also offers organic intimate products. Their Kaerlig-line is produced in Denmark with a high proportion of organic and natural ingredients. Most products are also Nordic Swan Eco-labeled and allergy-tested. 👌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've tested out their organic lubricant and O gel, both of which are latex and toy-safe. I was very skeptical about the O gel and have never tried any O enhancing product before. But got a (quite literally 😊️) warm surprise of how well it works! Have you tried anything similar or am I late for the train?

[SWE] #betaltsammarbete
Förutom ett praktiskt baskit för att komma igång med knipövningar (se några inlägg ner), erbjuder Sinful även ekologiska intimprodukter. Deras serie Kaerlig är producerad i Danmark med hög andel ekologiska och naturliga ingredienser. De flesta prordukter är även svenenmärkta och allergitestade. 👌🏻
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Jag har fått testa deras ekologiska glidmedel och x gel, båda som är säkra att använda tillsamamns med latex och leksakerna. Jag var väldigt skeptiskt mot o-gelen och har aldrig testat något liknande tidigare. Men vart (bokstavligen 😊️) varmt överraskad hur bra den fungerar! Har ni testat något liknande eller är jag sen till tåget? 😅

💇🏻‍♀️ On growing your hair long 💇🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When I first started growing out my hair, five years ago (after my "big chop"), I was like a sponge sucking in all the information on how to grow it out long, thick, healthy, and fast! During these past years, I've learned that it all comes down to so many factors that one can't just run a comb through and say this is how you should do it.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In one of my latest blog post, I poke at some of the advice I've come across on IG and YT that I don't follow or believe in considering my _hair type_. Cause there seems to be a trend of products, treatments and the advice given. But something that's not talked about in the #longhaircommunity is the importance of hair type, lifestyle, and genetics!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I found that most girls being glorified for their long hair usually have genetically thick hair, not only that, but also straight hair. Two things my hair is not. And I was trying to follow their formula. 🤦🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Straight and thick hair has more resistance against breakage. So naturally, they have the upper hand when it comes to the right circumstances for growing hair long and healthy. Emulating someone with a different texture hair may set you up for disappointment and unnecessary struggle.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you've missed it, check the link in my bio and go read my post on the 5 hair myths I no longer subscribe to. 💁🏻‍♀️
I discuss whether you should or should not trim your hair, how often you should wash your hair for hair growth, and should you use silicones or only opt for natural hair care? And more!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just like we take into account our skin type when buying products and listening to skincare advice, we should do the same with our hair!
