🌸 Quarter One Musings 🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm no longer... In my 20's
- I already had my "almost 30"-crisis two years ago. So the anxiety of entering a new bracket has settled down and, oddly, I feel good about getting older for once.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been reading... The Humans by @mattzhaig
- Took a rest from the typical factional books I usually read. I loved this book, need to read more from Matt.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just finished... The last season of The 100
- Similar to when finishing watching Vampire Diaries, this put me in grief for 5 days. 🙈 I still get emotional when I think about the ending. I need to rewatch all the seasons to get more closure.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Morning melodies... Please Don't Ruin This For Me (live version) by @tennisinc
- Some songs just speak your current mood or theme. I don't know the exact meaning of this song. However, when listening, I feel encouraged to move forward with my inner work.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been brewing... Black tea ☕
- For years I avoided black and green teas for their caffeine content, and only drank herbal ones. Now I make my own delicious chai latte, which can only be enjoyed using black tea. Don't fool yourself by using anything else. 💁🏻‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm excited for... Bunk beds in The Sims 4!
- Why did it take so long?! 🤨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I spotted... A weasel!
- So tiny and cute I died. 😱
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've got my eyes on... New sunscreen launches
- Vichy, LRP, Garnier and Ultra Violet, are all on my list. 😍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My 3 most used products...
- NIOD Modulating Glucoside
- L300 Revitalizing Night Cream (Use it as day cream)
- Bioderma AR SPF 50 (review soon)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My latest beauty purchase... Kjaer Weis Flush & Glow Duo in Inner Light
- Found it on sale and felt like I was worth a little luxury. ✨

What have you been up to?

Easter is just around the corner, can you believe

Easter is just around the corner, can you believe it? 😱 It's not a holiday I celebrate much anymore. But if you are someone who likes throwing easter egg hunts, Bybi boosters would be perfect stuffing! Not sponsored btw 😅 Just realized what a perfect timing this is as their boosters do sort of give off an Easter-vibe. Don't you think?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Anyway, here's a long-overdue short review of the #Bybi Bakuchiol and CBD booster 👇🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐣 Bakuchiol Booster
Sadly there seems to be some sustainability issue with Bakuchiol. But going on performance alone, I've been really impressed by Bakuchiol! I started using it at the beginning of last year and saw almost instant improvements in my skin. It's not like high-strength retinoids, but my skin behaved calmer, less breakout-prone, and felt soft and even. However, it didn't work much on fading PIE faster than other actives. I took a break after my first bottle and my skin seemed to get worse. So I quickly had it back into my routine and my skin clear up and I felt like I never want to be without it. However, as of this moment, I haven't used it for two months, and my skin is doing fine. But I still find it to be a great antioxidant for the skin and good for reducing inflammation/reactivity.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🐰 CBD Booster
Of course, I was curious to see what effects CBD would have on my acne! Unfortunately, I don't have much to say about this particular CBD-infused oil. This one's hosted in hemp seed oil which is not my favorite lipid for my skin. I saw no reduction in breakouts or improvements in my skin. Bakuchiol had a greater calming effect in my opinion. While I'm open to explore higher strengths of CBD for skin, this one in particular I will not repurchase. And if I had to recommend something for acne, I'd tell you to buy the Bakuchiol over the CBD booster... unless you’re allergic.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your experience with CBD and Bakuchiol? Love to hear your thoughts!

✨2020✨ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ While every

✨2020✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
While everyone’s life came to a halt mine started to roll.
After a decade of standing still, the signs finally said “Let’s Go!”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Charting unknown waters, challenging myself.
The best gift this year has been to realize I don’t have to stick to just one. 💫
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One dream. One passion. One niche. One life.
Keeping my door open for anything to happen. ✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2020 in no particular order:
- Rescued a homeless kitten and found her a new home.
- Climbed a few cliffs (literally) and (figuratively) jumped from some.
- Dived deep into shadow work and Human Design.
- Spent more time playing Township and The Sims than on Instagram.
- My cat got bitten and almost died.
- Read a bunch of books on money, investing and how to unblock subconscious lies.
- Baked a lot.
- Celebrated 10yrs together with my ❤️
- It’s getting quite late I should probably wrap this thing up. 😅

Happy New Year everyone! 🥳

✨ A simple guide to US Avéne RetrinAL alternat

✨ A simple guide to US Avéne RetrinAL alternatives in Europe.✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I've been waiting for Avéne to bring the RetrinAL-range to Europe, and maybe you have too? Well, apparently, it's been here all along! 💁🏻‍♀️ I've contacted Avéne Sweden to get information and confirmation about the strengths to be as accurate as possible. Here's a little cheat sheet for you 👇🏼
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ RetrinAL 0.1 Cream = A-Oxitive Night Peeling cream
- Fragrance-free. 0.1% retinal. Has the exact same formula.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ RetrinAL 0.05 Cream ≈ PhysioLift Night Balm
- Fragranced. Not exactly the same formula, but has 0.05% strength. Made to target more mature skin with deep wrinkles and sagginess with Ascofilline. Their now discontinued Ysthéal Cream had the same exact formula.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ RetrinAL Eyes = PhysioLift Eye Cream
- Same formula. 0.015% retinal.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ RetrinAL Advanced Wrinkle Corrector = PhysioLift Precision Wrinkle Filler
- Same exact formula. However, it's being discontinued so I didn't get what strength it had 😶
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ RetrinAL Day Cream = PhysioLift Day Smoothing Cream
- Same exact formula. Despite its name, doesn’t contain any retinal. Fragranced.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
➕ Other Avéne products with Retinal:
New Cleanance Smoothing Night cream
– Replaces the now discontinued TriAcneal Expert (still called TriAcneal in the US though) and is specifically formulated for adult acne-prone skin. It has 0.1% Retinal. Fragranced.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
A-Oxitive Smoothing Eye Contour Cream
– Has 0.01575% retinal. Fragrance-free.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have you tried Avéne's products with retinaldehyde?
I've posted my thoughts on the PhysioLift and Cleanance night creams on the blog! (link in bio)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I hate you so much or I hate myself more
That I can’t act the way you’re supposed to
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I just can’t support this behavior
Don’t wanna become anyone’s guru or savior
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
When are you going to stop seeking advice,
From people who knows no more than what works for themselves
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Young people thinking they know a lot,
Because they did some research on Google and blogs
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This space is filled with young impressionable heads
Someday they’ll grow up but not today
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Be thoughtful of what you’re spreading online
You might do damage to somebody’s life
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Unsolicitedly pointing out your faults
Indirectly spreading doubt in everyone’s thoughts

It’s a pandemic, reaching for extremes
Losing what actually matters and what can’t be fixed

It is time for everyone to learn it’s all in themselves.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.Tarte BB Primer in Medium
It’s very similar to the BareMinerals BB Primer but in a better packaging. The Tarte primer can be a little matte looking though.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.Milk Makeup Lip+Cheek in Werk
Surprised at how much product you get in the mini! Werk is a beautiful and neutral shade that will suit most complexions. I don't understand why it has citrus oils 🤨 but will nonetheless get it in Rally too. 😄
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.Milk Makeup Fiber Brow Gel in Dutch
My very first brow-mascara and I’m very pleased! It won’t fill in gaps, you still need a pencil for that, but will make brows look bushier. I recently had a period of fallout, and I believe the brow gel has helped with regrowth! My brows seem much thicker than before and I haven’t reached for it as often. If I repurchase, I’ll probably go for a shade lighter. Dutch was a perfect match, but slightly too dark for my liking.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.Too Faced Sculpt concealer Neutral Beige
I'm one of the lucky to have my shade match in the travel size. However, the product I got wasn't mixed very well. 🙇🏻‍♀️ So the shade is slightly darker than what it's actually supposed to be. You get a good amount in this little bottle and you only need the tiniest bit. However, I won't be going back to it as the formula doesn't seem very well mixed and I will never be able to finish the full size in time.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.Nars Lipstick in Tolede*
Thanks to Sephora for getting me hooked on expensive lipstick! 😂 Tolede is such a beautiful and universal shade. I so want to repurchase but I probably can live without...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
.RMS Master Mixer*
Had it for 3 years and I’m not even at the bottom of it! 😅 I’ve had to throw away the Signature Set* as it was smelling kind of rancid. But the Master Mixer pot is holding strong. However, I think it’s time for a replacement. Don’t overestimate old makeup! Your skin will thank you. ✨

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ What started innocent

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What started innocent became so serious.
From filter and frames to FaceTune and fame.
10 years on Instagram and I am mostly the same.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I might never get it as I came on here too early.
It has another meaning than growing a following, likes and making money.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I should’ve shown more face, I should’ve shown more skin.
Maybe then, you’d find me on the discovery page?
Maybe photos of my ass would have hold your attention
or flexing my superior wisdom?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Most of you joined less than five years ago.
The other Alumni’s seems to have left the platform.
It’s not what it used to be.
Not saying it’s a bad thing.
Just saying the vibe here has become whiny and depressing.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But it’s not how you have it, it’s how you take it.
The reality is that, I decide what gets to show up on my feed.
And it might not be diverse enough, but it makes me happy.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I post less now than I used to do.
It’s because I want a life where I’m not exposed to everyone’s opinion and caring what others think, say or do.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
With all that said, 10 years later I’m still here.
Happy 10th Birthday 🎉 and perhaps to many more!
For how much longer? I really don’t know...

Despite not being a huge coffee drinker I've experienced my teeth yellowing as I've gotten older. I haven't really been able to combat it as every time I switch my toothpaste, especially to a whitening one, I get terrible toothaches! My gums are quite sensitive... 🙇🏻‍♀️ Anyone else who can relate?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I was thinking about getting one of those teeth whitening kits and then I got approached by @thesmileo and couldn't say no. Their products are peroxide-free and a more gentle alternative. I can tell you right off the bat that my gums did not feel any discomfort! 😁 For the results, you'll have to jump over to my blog and read! (link in bio!)

I started using it at the beginning of last year and saw almost instant improvements in my skin. It's not like high-strength retinoids, but my skin behaved calmer, less breakout-prone, and felt soft and even. However, it didn't work much on fading PIE faster than other actives.

Some new things I've been testing since spring. 👇🏼🌸
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
💕Deviant GRL
I got this for Christmas but didn't crack it open until around May. I've learned it's best to only have one exfoliator on rotation. So I wanted to finish some before moving towards the next.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I don't have much to add to the conversations about this one.
It's somewhat gentle to what I'm used to. Meaning, I don't wake up feeling a huge difference in my skin. But in a way, that's a good thing! 😄 It doesn't sensitize the skin and disrupts my retinol use. Usually, it's a battle of having to balance the use of both. But with the GRL I've been able to use both interchangeably without accidentally damaging my skin barrier. 👍🏼

💕Allies Of Skin
Six months ago I managed to get my hands on two tubes (second hand) of the (now called) Peptides & Antioxidants Day Treatment for about €10 each. 😱 You don’t pass up a deal like it.

I see it as a serum and moisturizer in one. For the price, I don't think we should expect anything less. This and some spf should suffice after your morning rinse.
My complexion seems more even with consistent use, and redness from blemishes has become less visible. ✨
During early spring I found it to not be completely hydrating enough though, so I spice it up with drops of oil.
Overall, I've been loving and enjoying this one so far! However, I don't deem it a necessity for my skin as no life-changing difference was found when I took a break before opening the second one.
It's more of a high tech cream that redeems results in the long term.
This cream has definitely sparked interest in trying more from AoS. I recently got the Promise Keeper Blemish Facial that I'm excited to use!
