Review | Max and me - Queen of elves

Sunday, 28 August 2016


Just as gorgeous on the inside as the outside. If you ever lied your eyes on one of Max and me oils, you were probably drawn to the pretty illustrations on their packaging. I know I was. 

I had the pleasure to win one of these  pretty bottles a few months ago through Rainbowfeet  Instagram. I was over the moon as their oils are a bit on the pricey side. But as I've been using it and loving it I thought I would share it with you. 


Lika vacker pÃ¥ insidan som utsidan. Om du nÃ¥gonsin lagt ögonen pÃ¥ en av Max and me oljorna, har du antagligen dragits till de vackra illustrationerna pÃ¥ deras förpackning. Det har iallafall jag. 

Jag hade äran att vinna en av dessa vackra flaskor nÃ¥gra mÃ¥nader sen genom Rainbowfeet instagram. Jag blev överlycklig eftersom deras oljor är lite dyra. Men eftersom jag använt den och gillar den mycket tänkte jag dela det med dig. 


It's a luxurious product. I got the Queen of elves body oil. Which works for all skin types. It helps soothing irritated, sensitive and stressed out skin.

On Max and me website it says:

The „queen of elves“ gently whispers to you: Take your time and let your spirits flow... The lovingly created blend of beauty oils and essential oils imparts deep relaxation, restoring skin’s natural rhythm and innate self-healing abilities. This brings about a luxurious feeling of wellbeing. 

Det är en lyxig produkt. Jag fick Queen of elves kropps oljan. Vilket funkar för alla hudtyper. Den hjälper att lugna irriterad, känslig och stressad hud.

På Max and mes hemsida står det:

"Queen of elves viskar försiktigt till dig : Ta tid på dig och låt dina andar flöda... Den omtänksamt skapade blandning av skönhets oljor och essens oljor som ger ett djupt lugn, återställer hudens naturliga rytm och medfödda självläkande förmågor. Detta ger en lyxig känsla av välbehag."



It's a wonderfully relaxing oil. Perfect after a bath. It's exactly what you need after a long and stressful day to wind down and relax. 

It easily absorbs into the skin and makes it feel smooth and hydrating. It has a lovely scent of calming lavender and ylang-ylang. 

Det är en fantastiskt lugnande olja. Perfekt efter ett bad. Det är exakt vad du behöver efter en lÃ¥ng och stressad dag. Att varva ner och slappna av. 

Den absorberas in i huden och får den att kännas mjuk och återfuktande. Det har en ljuvlig doft av lugnande lavendel och ylang-ylang.

I'm very impressed by Max and me oils. They show that they're more than just a pretty packaging. I would love to try more of their products. 

Jag är väldigt imponerad av Max and me oljan. De bevisar att de är mer än bara ett vackert omslag. Jag skulle gärna prova fler av deras produkter.

A pampering evening

Thursday, 28 April 2016



I've been so busy lately with work, sorting out my move to Sweden and preparing for my half marathon. I came home one evening and just felt I needed some time out. 

Jag har varit sÃ¥ upptagen det senaste med jobb, planerar min flytt till Sverige och förbereder mig inför min halvmara i Göteborg. Jag kom hem en kväll och kände att jag behövde lite time out. 


I decided to finish off the last of my Saachs organics herbal powder. It's an intense hair treatment. 
I love the feeling of my hair after this treatment. It feels thicker and gives it more volume, which last for a few days. 

Jag bestämde mig för göra slut pÃ¥ det sista jag hade kvar av Saach organics herbal powder. Det är en intensiv hÃ¥r mask. Jag älskar känslan av hur mitt hÃ¥r känns efter behandlingen. Det känns tjockare och ger hÃ¥ret mer volym, vilket hÃ¥ller i sig i flera dagar. 


I made myself a coffee scrub out of only three ingredients. Coffee, sugar and coconut oil. For me this is a big treat as it awakens all my senses. It smells so good and the skin feels soft after. 

I cream myself with Neals yard remedies Beauty sleep, which feels so indulging. It's so thick and creamy and the Rose is calming. Perfect for a relaxing evening.
Jag gjorde min egen kaffeskrubb utav bara tre ingredienser. Kaffe, socker och kokosolja. Det är en härlig treat för mig, eftersom det väcker alla sinnen. Det luktar sÃ¥ gott och huden känns len efterÃ¥t. 

Jag smörjde in mig med Neals yard remedies Beauty sleep, vilket känns sÃ¥ lyxigt. Den är sÃ¥ tjock och krämig och lukten av ros är lugnande. Perfekt för en avslappnande kväll. 


For the face I use my two favorite products at the moment. My eye cream from Maria Ã…kerberg for the sensitive area around my eyes. For the rest of my face I use Green People's Beauty Boost skin restore. Which is like having a mini facial. It's been so good for my skin lately. I recently wrote a review to find out more click here

För ansiktet använde jag mina två favorit produkter just nu. Min ögonkräm från Maria Åkerberg för den känsliga huden runt ögonen. För resten av ansiktet smörjer jag in mig med Green People's Beauty boost skin restore. Vilket är som en mini ansiktsbehandling. Den har varit så bra för min hud det senaste. Jag skrev nyligen en recension som du kan läsa här


I walked into the kitchen to make myself a cup of tea. I then spent the rest of the evening in bed, enjoying my cup of tea, my favorite chocolate and a good book. 

Jag gick till köket och gjorde mig en kopp te. Sen spenderade jag resten av kvällen i sängen, njutandes av min kopp te, min favorit choklad och en bra bok. 

What do you do to relax? 

Vad gör du för att slappna av?

How to relax and rewind

Sunday, 13 December 2015

Sometimes life is full on and it's hard to get time to yourself. But that's when it's more important to make sure you take time out and relax. Leading up to Christmas is that time for me. With everyone needing their hair done before Christmas. I work more than usual and being constant busy. My body aches and I feel constantly tired. I know it's time to take time out and have some me-time. 




Often when I need to relax I go for a run to let my brain lock off and just empty my mind. I also love going for a massage. But sometimes the best thing to do is to take an hour or two and just do nothing and pamper myself. 

First, I like to take a bath. I'm not a massive bath person so not taking a long long hot bath here. I normally just need to let my muscles relax for a bit. I've recently discovered the perfect friend for this kind of bath. It's MOA (Magic Organic Apotechary) fortifying green bath potion. 



The MOA bath potion is perfect for my aching and tired body. I never enjoyed a bath so much since I've started using the green bath potion. As a hairdresser I stand for many hours a day. I'm also a keen runner do my legs are often aching as well as my lower back. Within minutes in my bath I feel better. I can feel my muscles starting to loosen up and I feel energised. 

MOA's bath potion contains refreshing peppermint, detoxifying fennel, calming, relaxing fir needle and sweet birch to ease achy muscles. 

It feels refreshing and I love the cooling feeling the peppermint gives the skin. I always feel too hot after a few minutes and want to get out of the bath. But not with this bath potion, I feel I can stay in the bath forever whilst it works miracles on my muscles. 


Also a little side note for anyone who hasn't got their Christmas presents yet. The MOA green bath potion has the most gorgeous packaging and is perfect to give away as a present to anyone who loves a bath or just need to de-stress. 

When taking a bath I like to light candles all around the bath. I find candles, relaxing and helps me to rewind. 


I also put on a face mask to get rid of any dirt and impurities. At the moment I'm using Botanicals revitalising mask. To read more about the mask check out my review here.


After the bath I cream my body with Neals Yard Remedies Beauty sleep body butter. I love this body butter. It's so nourishing for the body makes the skin soft. It hydrates it well that it still feels smooth the day after. It has a calming effect, which makes it perfect after a relaxing bath. 

Once relaxed and pampered I make myself a cup of tea, light some more candles and with a good book I get cosy in my bed. Even better if I got some chocolate too. 


There I stay as long as possible. 

What do you do to relax? Do you find me-time important?
