I love (love, love) bouncy, gorgeous waves in my hair. The problem? My hair is dead straight. So straight that I have never, ever had to straighten it, and when I do make the effort to curl it, chances are, my hair will fall will fall the minute I step outside my bathroom, leaving me […]

If you haven’t been yet, 2019 is the year you should make this city a priority. We are talking about Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, which, in all honesty, is one of my all-time favourite cities.

Ever since it was first announced, let’s face it – we’ve all been obsessed with Meghan Markle’s maternity wardrobe.

We all know by now how good breast-milk is for newborn babies. Liquid gold, the most perfect infant food there is. But breastfeeding doesn’t come easy to everyone, and many new mums can attest to having struggled a lot in the beginning before they (and their babies) got the hang of things. Which is why, […]

My skin is not a fan of winter. Between the cold outside and the heated, dry air inside, my face feels tight, irritated and sensitive most days, as it pretty much does this time every year. Many of us struggle with skin that gets more zapped of moisture in the winter months, and while making […]

Bananas are possibly the most amazing, versatile food there is. I mean; not only is it delicious as it as an on-the-go snack, it also works perfectly on top of rye toast (YUM!), it thickens our smoothies to creamy perfection and also makes the yummiest, vegan (n)ice cream. But never mind all the above, we […]
