Lily Lolo

    Picture from Lilylolo.co.uk

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? ;-)

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 :)

Love you, sis! :))

Starbucks!

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

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.
