Abs and leg-workout

Hi there! 

Today when I came home from school I decided to work out at home instead of going to the gym because I thought I could just as well do these exercises at home :-) I did the Victoria's Secret models ab workout and a leg workout from Blogilates on youtube. She's actually really good and inspires you to keep going! I think you should check her out <3

Decorating my Room!

 

Tip of the Day! - Organizing your room!

Hey guys! There are probably some who use this trick already, but today I came up with it and thought it was a very cool idea to share:

Click for larger image ;)

My tip is to save pretty and convenient bags you receive when shopping - then you can use them for storage! As an example, I put bathing suits and bikinis in the pink pretty one, stuff for actual swimming (competitive) in the one besides and in the last one I put a mix of things.

I just think it looks really cute and organized! Let me know what you think and if you have tried the idea ;)

Yoga <3

My new love within fitness is yoga! Yoga is good for your whole body and mind. It focuses a lot on keeping different positions which will all stretch out the body and strenghten your muscles. Apart from that it's also great if you want to let go of disturbing and irrational thoughts - it's kind of meditative and by practising yoga often you will get better at ignoring or at least let bad/disturbing thoughts such as "I should have cleaned my room today", or "I didn't do all the things I should've done today", pass.

For my Danish readers, I practise yoga in Fitnessworld. 

If this all sounds like something for you, just try it out! If you don't like it you have at least given it a shot :-)

Love and passion for fitness is all about trying and finding new types of sports you like - that's at least the way I stay motivated and don't get bored ;)

See you at the gym!

Lily Lolo

I just received my samples of the Lily Lolo mineral makeup - the one shade that fit my skin colour was "China Doll".

If you consider ordering mineral make-up from Lily Lolo, I would recommend you to order 2 or 3 samples before you invest in the real size.

But I am very happy with the mineral foundation - feel free to ask in the comments if you have any further questions ;)

Cherries!

Mmm, I just love to eat cherries in the summertime! They are so delicious, and healthy as well ;)

I have just ordered 3 samples from the mineral make-up line, Lily Lolo, to see, which colour matches my skin tone best before I buy the big size. I will let you know what I think of them, once I receive the package ;)

The reason why I ordered from this specific brand, is because it carries light colours suitable for fair skin, it's very affordable and doesn't contain any harmful chemicals plus it's not tested on animals!

Yummy American Pancakes!

Made these very delicious pancakes with my boyfriend this morning. They taste sooo good with Nutella or sirup! :-)

Would you like me to post the recipe? ;-)

Outfit of the Day!

Blouse: Bershka

Shorts: Bershka

Bag: Dixie

New Beauty Products in!!

Just got these beauties here in Berlin - they were really inexpensive! Win-win, happy beauty-addict ;)

Mmmm, Berlin!

Audrey Hepburn

I was in Ikea today and saw this beautiful canvas picturing the always pretty Audrey Hepburn. I think I might want to try and recreate it myself with some oil paint and a canvas ;-)

Packing for Berlin!

As I've mentioned earlier, I'm soon going to Berlin ;) I have begun with my packing and so far it's not that hard to decide what to bring with me.

The top picture shows the outfit I'm planning to wear the night me and my boyfriend have decided to have dinner out in the town to celebrate our five months anniversery ;) I'm sooo looking forward to Berlin! :)

The Best Salad in the World!

This is seriously the best salad in the world! It tastes soo good because it's a great mix of vegetables and fruits! It's also really healthy :-)

What you'll need to make this wonderful salad:

- 1 mango

- Strawberries

- Salad with a high amount of nutrients - not just the regular Iceberg which doesn't have that many health benefits after all

- Spinach leaves

- Pine nut seeds

Just chop everything and mix it together and you have a very tasty salad which is also healthy! ;) What's not to like? ;)

Pictures of the day

I think the top at the top (haha, get it? ;)) is really adorable and how cute is the bathroom stuff below?! Haha, if I lived by myself I think I would buy those ;)

Grey's Anatomy

Uuh, my favourite tv-series at the moment will have to be Grey's Anatomy! It's just really good - a great mix of serious stuff and funny stuff :-)
Right now I'm watching season 2 so I have a lot left to watch, yaaay!

Self tanner update!

The Nordictan self tanner:

Before

After

I have used the Nordictan self tanner twice in the attempt to get a nice, deep tan. I think i developed a very nice, natural-looking tan! What do you think?

By the way, I put on the first coat of self tanner in the afternoon and put on the second layer before I went to bed.

The very nice thing about this self tanner is that it doesn't contain parabens, perfume alcohol. And it is actually "Svanemærket" :-) (A danish label which is only put on very pure and good products without harsh chemicals)

Note:

I'm not sure this self tanner can be purchased outside of Scandinavia, so sorry to my other readers! But to my scandinavian readers, stay tuned ;)

Heart Attack

Hi lovely readers :)

Right now I'm pretty obsessed with Demi Lovato's "Heart Attack". It's on repeat at the moment :b
I just think it's some very beautiful lyrics and it's not just like most songs nowadays without any message. It really touches something in me :)

Self tanner review

Hey Ladies!

I will soon be posting a review a la "this vs. that" :-)

It will be the St. Moriz self tanning mousse in Dark and the self tanner from Nordictan :-)

Love, Rikke

Elegant hair-updo

I made this elegant hair-updo the other day ;) Think it turned out great, especially from the side :)

Earrings <3

I just got this beautiful pair of 14 carat gold earrings as a gift from my big sister - she came home from vacation today.

Love you, sis! :))

Starbucks!

Yaaaaay! The first Starbucks in my hometown is finally arriving! :D

Get that Beyoncé-Bootay ;)

Get that Beyoncé-Bootay ;) by rikke226 featuring tops

If you want to tighten up that booty of yours, the squat is definetely the best excercise you can do!

The squat trains the largest muscle of the body, the thigh, and is very effective.
