A mini empties

Friday, 13 May 2016


I recently did a massive empties video. And somehow I still managed to have a few more empties just few weeks later. I thought I share them with you here as I don't want to save them and take empty bottles with me when I move to Sweden. 

Jag gjorde nyligen en massiv empties video. PÃ¥ nÃ¥t sätt har jag lyckats göra slut pÃ¥ fler produkter pÃ¥ bara nÃ¥gra veckor. SÃ¥ jag tänkte att jag delar med mig här eftersom jag inte vill spara dem och ta med mig tomma flaskor när jag flyttar till Sverige. 


My first product I finished was Neals Yard remedies honey & orange facial scrub. It smells lovely, but it's too rough on my skin. The grains are quite big and you have to be very gentle applying it on the skin. I would use this more as a body scrub, than a face scrub. 

Min första produkt som tog slut var Neals Yard remedies honey & orange facial scrub. Den luktar ljuvligt men den är för grov pÃ¥ min hud. Den har ganska stora korn och du mÃ¥ste vara försiktig när du applicerar den pÃ¥ huden. Jag tycker den skulle vara bättre som en body scrub istället för face scrub. 


Another empty product is the gorgeous oil bloom & glow from Angela Langford. I've enjoyed this facial oil so much and I'm sad it's finished. It's been perfect for my skin and one of my favourite oils at all times. 

En annan tom product är den underbara oljan bloom & Glow från Angela Langford. Jag har njutit så mycket av denna ansikts olja och det är så tråkigt att den är slut. Den var perfekt för min hud och en av mina favorit oljor någonsin.


I also finished Botanicals nourishing face balm. Another skincare product I enjoyed. It melts in to the skin and moisturising it well. I've done a review on it if you want to read more. 

Jag gjorde även slut pÃ¥ Botanicals nourishing face balm. En annan hudvÃ¥rd produkt jag tyckte om. Den smälter in i huden och Ã¥terfuktar väl. Jag ge gjort en recension om du vill läsa mer. 


The last of my empties is Sukin's protein hair treatment. I loved this hair treatment. I actually kept getting comments on my hair every time I used it. It made the hair feel soft and look healthy. It's definitely become a staple hair product I will keep going back too

Den sista empties är Sukins protein Hair treatment. Jag älskade den här hÃ¥rmasken. Jag fick flera kommentarer pÃ¥ mitt hÃ¥r varje gÃ¥ng jag använde den. Den fick hÃ¥ret att kännas lent och se hälsosamt ut. Det har definitivt blivit en av mina stapel hÃ¥r produkter jag kommer att Ã¥terkomma till. 

That was my recent empties. What are some of the recent products you have used up? Have you tried one of the ones I mentioned? Why did you think? 

Det var mina empties. Vad är nÃ¥gra produkter som du har gjort slut pÃ¥ nyligen? Har du provat nÃ¥gon av de jag nämnde? Vad tyckte du?

My week in pictures

Friday, 8 April 2016


As you've probably heard by now, me and Stephen are moving to Sweden soon and I've just got back from Stockholm to sort few details out. I thought I would share with you my journey and keep you updated. But I will start with the day before as I attended a great blogging networking event. 

Som du antagligen har hört vid det här laget sÃ¥ ska jag och Stephen flytta till Sverige snart. Jag har nyligen kommit tillbaka frÃ¥n Stockholm för att ordna nÃ¥gra detaljer. Jag tänkte att jag skulle dela med mig och hÃ¥lla dig uppdaterad. Men jag börjar med dagen innan dÃ¥ jag var med pÃ¥ ett jättebra bloggar networking event. 


Sunday was a busy day for blogging. Firstly, I walked over to  hang out with Besma from Curiously ConsciousLuckily she doesn't live very far from me. We did our first ever collaboration together and looking forward to share that with you soon. 

Söndag var en dag fylld med bloggning. Först gick jag för att hänga med Besma frÃ¥n Curiously Conscious. www.curiouslyconscious.com Som tur var bor hon inte lÃ¥ngt frÃ¥n mig. Vi gjorde vÃ¥r alldeles första collab tillsammans och jag ser fram emot att fÃ¥ visa dig det snart. 




We then went to the blogosphere tea party. If you haven't picked up a copy of their amazing magazine yet, you should. It was their first event and it was held upstairs in the beautiful Aubaine near Baker Street. 

It was great to network and meet lots of new bloggers. I love events like this where you meet lots of different types of bloggers and then I can go home looking forward to read and discover some new favourite blogs.

 I think Blogosphere did very well for their first event and I'm looking forward to attend more of them.




Sen gick vi till Blogosphere's Tea party. Om du inte läst deras tidning sÃ¥ se till att göra det. Det var deras första event och det hölls pÃ¥ övervÃ¥ningen i jättevacker Aubaine nära Baker Street. 

Det var kul att nätverka och möta mÃ¥nga olika bloggare. Jag älskar events som detta, där du kan möta massor av olika slags bloggare. Sen kan man gÃ¥ hem och se fram emot att fÃ¥ läsa och upptäcka nya favorit bloggar. 

Jag tycker Blogosphere gjorde ett bra jobbar att vara deras första event och jag ser fram emot att gå på fler.


In the evening I just packed my bag getting ready for Sweden. I got two Blogosphere magazines in my goodie bags so was great to have some reading for the plane journey. 

PÃ¥ kvällen packade jag min väska och gjorde mig redo för Stockholm. Hag fick tvÃ¥ Blogosphere tidningar sÃ¥ det var bra att ha lite läsning till flygturen. 


The first thing I did when I got to Stockholm was to go to Wagamama to have lunch. It's the first place you'll see as you get out of the central station so I always eat there when I arrive as I tend to be starving. Then I went to the tax office and register for moving back to Sweden. 

Det första jag gjorde när jag kom till Stockholm var att gÃ¥ till Wagamama för att äta lunch. Det är det första du ser när du kommer ut frÃ¥n central stationen. SÃ¥ jag äter alltid där när jag anländer för jag brukar oftast vara vrÃ¥lhungrig. Sen gick jag till Skatteverket och registrerade mig att jag flyttar hem till Sverige. 



I spent the afternoon shopping. I was overjoyed with seeing the H&M conscious collection. 


I also went to Kungsträdgården to see how the cherry blossom's getting on. It's so beautiful there when they all fully blossomed with lots of trees. So far only a few has started, but in a week or two it will be magical.

Jag spenderade eftermiddagen med shopping. Jag var överlycklig att fÃ¥ se H&M's conscious kollektion. 

Jag gick även till KungsträdgÃ¥rden för att titta pÃ¥ hur körsbärsträden ser ut. Det är sÃ¥ vacker där när det blommar med alla träd. Än sÃ¥ länge är det nÃ¥gra fÃ¥ knoppar som börjat blomma. Om nÃ¥n vecka eller tvÃ¥ kommer det vara magiskt. 



Most of my time in Stockholm was spent in some of the many Espresso house cafe's having coffee and using their wifi. As I was there to look for a flat I needed to be constantly checking websites and my emails. 

In the evening I had dinner with my two friends Josefin and Mumtaz. 

The next day I went to the salon, where I'm going to work as soon as we move. It's called Ecohair and is based in Kungsholmen. I signed my contract and collected my key. I can't wait to start working. It's an organic salon working with vegetable dyes.

Mesta av min tid i Stockholm var spenderad i nÃ¥gra av de mÃ¥nga espresso house drickandes kaffe och använda deras wifi. Eftersom jag var där för att leta lägenhet behövde jag konstant kolla blocket och mina mejl. 

PÃ¥ kvällen hade jag middag med mina vänner Josefin och Mumtaz. 

Nästa dag gick jag till salongen, där jag ska börja jobba när vi flyttar. Det heter Ecohair och ligger pÃ¥ Kungsholmen. Jag skrev pÃ¥ mitt kontrakt och fick min nyckel. Jag ser fram emot att fÃ¥ börja jobba. Det är en ekologisk salong som jobbar med växtfärger. 


I had lunch with my friend Magdalena at this lovely place just off the main shopping street, drottninggatan, called centralbadet. It's a spa, but also a restaurant and they do organic food. It was so beautiful and relaxing. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures because I enjoyed the food and company too much. 

Jag hade lunch med min vän Magdalena pÃ¥ ett underbart ställe bara av Drottninggatan som heter Centralbadet. Det är ett spa, men har även en restaurang som gör ekologisk mat. Det var sÃ¥ vackert och avslappnat. Tyvärr glömde jag ta bilder för att jag njöt sÃ¥ mycket av maten och sällskapet. 


I then went to the bank to sort out a bank account. It was much easier than I thought. It made me so happy as even though I finding it though to find a flat at least I'm getting other important details done. My mood was getting better and better and so was the weather. In the morning it was raining, but eventually the sun came out and it was a beautiful day. 

Sen gick jag till banken för att fixa bankkonto. Det var lättare än jag trott. Det gjorde mig sÃ¥ glad. Även om jag känner att det varit tufft att försöka hitta en lägenhet, sÃ¥ har jag fÃ¥tt mÃ¥nga andra saker gjort. Mitt humör blev bara bättre och bättre och sÃ¥ var även vädret. PÃ¥ morgonen regnade det, men till slut sÃ¥ kom solen fram och det var en sÃ¥ fin dag. 




I took a walk through old town as it's so pretty and I just love the narrow cobbled street and beautiful old town. 



The evening was spent socialising with Fika and dinner with friends. 

Jag tog en promenad genom gamla stan för det är sÃ¥ vackert. Jag älskar de smala gatorna och vackra gamla hus. 

Kvällen var spenderad med fika och middag med vänner. 


I recently ordered some products from Angela Langford and I received some samples, which I've been using this trip. Many of them I all have full sized of at home, but I'm so happy to have samples to use when travelling. Here's my skin routine whilst being in Sweden. In the morning I've used the cleanser, the clean sweep and then the cream balancing act. In the evening I also used the scrub me with the cleanser and then the eye oil, Angel eye, and the face oil Bloom & glow. 

Jag beställde hem produkter frÃ¥n Angela Langford nyligen och jag fick flera smÃ¥ prover. Vilket jag har använt pÃ¥ den här resan. MÃ¥nga av dem har jag stora förpackningar av hemma. Men jag är glad att jag fick dessa smÃ¥ prover för när jag reser. Här är min hudvÃ¥rds rutin medan jag varit i Sverige. PÃ¥ morgonen använde jag clean sweep, cleanser, och sen krämen balancing act. PÃ¥ kvällen använde jag även skrubben scrub me innan cleansern och sedan ögon oljan, Angel eyes, och ansiktsoljan Bloom & Glow. 

Wednesday it was time to fly back to London again. But first I went back to Ecohair to speak to them some more and watch them work. 

I still haven't managed to find a flat, but it's been incredible to be able to sort out all other paperwork. 

I hope you had a wonderful week. What's your plans for the weekend? 

PÃ¥ onsdag var det dags att flygs tillbaka till London igen. Men först gick jag tillbaka till Ecohair för att prata lite mer med dem och kolla hur de arbetar. 

Jag har fortfarande inte hittat en lägenhet, med det har varit fantastiskt att fÃ¥ ordna med alla paper och ha det gjort. 

Jag hoppas du hade en underbar vecka. Vad är dina planer för helgen


The Glowgetter gathering

Thursday, 3 December 2015

Last Sunday I went to The glowgetter gathering hosted by the Amazing Ailish Lucas theglowgetter 

I was really excited as it's my first proper blogger event and I couldn't wait to meet my fellow green beauty bloggers and all the amazing green brands. 


It was held at the beautiful Kettners in Soho, central London. Just around the corner from where I work. 



I was warmly greeted by Ailish who looked stunning, has to be said. For some reason she kept putting a glass of champagne in my hand. 
The room was pretty decorated with lots of pink, which made me feel just like home. 


Some of the brands that were there  
It was great to see some of the bloggers that I've been speaking to on social media for so long and finally meet them in real life. It was almost a bit surreal. But they were all as lovely as I hoped and I was greeted with lots of big hugs. 





I had some lovely chats with the brands. Was great to see so many green beauty brands and most of them were new to me. I love finding new brands. It was also great to hear their stories as many of them are small family run businesses. 


Firstly I spoke to MOA, Magic Organic Apothecary. I must say they definitely had the most beautiful packaging. Perfect for presents. Their main product is the green balm, but they're expanding. I loved their bath potion oil that was in my goodie bag. I can't wait to try more of their products.



Then I couldn't resist to talk to Neal's Yard remedies. They were there with the most delicious healthy vegan sweets. Showing what you put into the inside is just as important as the outside. I can't wait to try and make their berry beautiful cheesecake. Yum. They also gave out hand massages, but unfortunately I missed out on that one. 



Therapi not only showed samples of their products, but also a drink with their ingredients of a toner. Showing that what they put in their products are all good stuff. Even though they use honey in their products and as a vegan, I often try to avoid it. Being assured of their love for bees and that their honey is produced organically and ethically and are of a high standard. I wouldn't mind using their products. We also had a long chat about Scandinavia and packaging. 


I was a delighted to talk to to meet Angela Langford. She shows a real care for all her customers, ensuring they get the right product for them. She sends samples with her products so you don't have to waste a full bottle on something that's not right for your skin. I would feel very safe using her products and I can't wait to try the samples she gave me. 



It was exciting to talk to the small family business The Chuckling Goat. Even though I'm a vegan And they use goats milk kefir that they make by hand on their farm. I find they have a great story and I even got to see pictures of their goats. So if you don't mind goats milk I would say definitely check them out. 

I was great to connect with everyone I spoke to, brands and bloggers. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to speak to every person in the room. But hopefully next time. Because I can't wait. 


Ailish did such a great job and everyone seem to enjoy themselves. So a big Thank you to her. 




Then we went away with the most fabulous goodie bag and it definitely felt like Christmas came early this year. 

Have you heard of any of these brands? Any brand you would like to hear more about?
