Dress and shoes- Lacoste, Fragrance- NATURAL L. 12. 12

Det är dags för mitt sista inlägg i samarbete med Lacoste fragances. Eftersom jag parades ihop med doften “NATURAL”, vilket verkligen är något jag vill och kan identifiera mig med, handlar detta inlägg om min syn på en naturlig livsstil. Under sommardagarna i Berlin för ett år sedan då jag hängde med lacoste-teamet så intervjuade de mig under arbetets gång. Nu i efterhand har jag fått ta del av svaren, så jag tänker att jag helt enkelt delar dem med er:

What does a NATURAL lifestyle mean to you?

A natural life means being close to the nature, keeping your feet on the ground. It means listening to your body and your natural needs and trying to not get obsessed with material things.

How do you describe natural Beauty?
Natural beauty is a result of a natural lifestyle. When you’re able to let go of social media’s illusions of “perfect looks” and you can focus on being grateful for everything your body gives you just by being healthy.

What are you three tips for getting in a NATURAL mood?
– Hang out with animals. There’s no better way to get down on earth.
– Work out. There’s something very “back to basic” animalistic with letting your body work and pushing your limits.
– Take a walk in the forest and smell all the amazing fragrances, like pine wood, moss and forest flowers.

What are your tips for living a NATURAL lifestyle?
Try to live in the moment as much as possible, make a habit of taking little pauses un life where you just shut off all thoughts about work, relationships, future and focus on your mind and your body.

It’s time for my last post in collaboration with Lacoste fragances. Since I was paired with the fragrance “NATURAL”, which really is something I want and can relate myself to, this post about my thoughts on a natural lifestyle.
During the summer days in Berlin a year ago when I was hanging out with the Lacoste team, they interviewed me during the work. A few weeks ago they actually sent me the answers, so I decided to share some of them with you (above) in this post. What are your thoughts on a natural lifestyle?

Vet ni vad? Jag har sett en hel massa film på sistone! Nästan alla filmer jag sett har bearbetat ämnet relationer, inte för att jag medvetet valt det men antagligen för att jag tänkt så mycket på just relationer på sistone. Här är tre helt olika men mycket bra filmer som alla har gett mig nya vinklar och insikter kring ämnet. Anteckna titlarna och lova mig att ta fram dem en regnig dag eller kanske en chill bakissöndag som denna?

You know what? I’ve watched a whole lot of movies lately! Almost all them have processed the subject “relationships”, not that I deliberately chose it, but probably since I’ve been thinking so much about relationships lately. Here are three very different but very good movies that has given me new perspectives and insights on the subject. Write down the titles and promise me to watch them on a rainy day or maybe a chill hangover Sunday like today?

LIFE PARTNERS

Pagie and Sasha are best friends. They do everything together, and when they’re not physically together watching top model, making sarcastic jokes about everyone and everything or drinking wine, they’re on the phone with each other. Even though they both agree it’s impossible to find a person that’s better than (or at least as good as) each other, they both half heartedly date guys (Pagie) and girls (Sasha). One day Pagie meets Tim (Adam Brody) and everything changes; Sasha isn’t Pagies number one anymore. This movie is about female friendship, jealousness and the struggle of growing up when all you want to do is eat mozzarella sticks, get drunk and just ignore stuff like responsibilities and boring work.

“Sasha: “I guess I should have known that as soon as you found someone else to couple up with that you’d be done with me!”
Paige: “Yes, I’m less available to you now than I was when there was no one in my life.”
Sasha: “You still talk to someone at two in the morning. Nothing changed for you. It just changed for me. Can you acknowledge that, please?”

I really really loved this movie, I relate to exactly everything Sasha and Pagie are going through.

THE LOBSTER

This is a super bizarre yet brilliant drama comedy about David, who just got dumped by his wife. David lives in a society where all singles are forced to check in at a hotel where they have 45 days to find a new partner or else they will be turned into an animal (free of choice, David would like to become a lobster). Outside the hotel there’s a rebel group of loners who lives together in the forest.
This movie is a obvious satire of the society’s obsession of coupledom, and the fear of loneliness.

“Hotel Manager: Now the fact that you will turn into an animal if you fail to fall in love with someone during your stay here is not something that should upset you or get you down. Just think, as an animal you’ll have a second chance to find a companion. But, even then, you must be careful; you need to choose a companion that is a similar type of animal to you. A wolf and a penguin could never live together, nor could a camel and a hippopotamus. That would be absurd.”

This is an extremely beautiful movie with really dark humor that made me think. A lot. I really liked the bizarre atmosphere.

HOW TO BE SINGLE

I watched this movie since I helped promoting it before the premiere this spring. It’s a colorful, funny but very predicable movie about being single. Alice takes a break from her boring high school boyfriend to live and work in New York. She meets Robin, a crazy slightly alcoholic co-worker who helps her unleash and discover herself- and a bunch of one night stands.

“Robin: In every male-female friendship, there’s a total number of drinks and if you hit that, it means you will definitely have sex.
Alice: If I had more than five drinks, I would hook up with you.
Robin: My drink number is 27. I wouldn’t even touch myself on less than 24. “

This movie is a typical romcom, it’s stereotypical and predictable. The characters are boring; the shy quirky main character, the chubby crazy friend, the beautiful “grown-up” sister. We’ve seen it before. Still it’s very funny and at times very relatable and insightful. Actually kind of inspiring (I also got very inspired by Alice’s clothes). But be prepared at lame gender stereotypes!

Do you have any movie tips?

Hej babes! Här är en sneakpeek på outfiten jag hade på picknickfestivalen i måndags. Detta kan mycket väl vara det mest färgglada plagg jag burit på några år, fick ett akut infall och köpte denna fina hängselklänning på loppis förrförra veckan. Har som börjat känna mer och mer för färg igen, speciellt efter att ha inspirerats av den här siten. Cravingsssss

Hey babes! Here’s a sneakpeek of the outfit I wore at the picnic festival last Monday. This might be the most colorful garment I’ve worn in a few years, I got an urgent craving and bought this dungaree dress at a flea market a couple of weeks ago. I’ve started to want to wear more and more color again, especially after being inspired by this site. Craaaavingssss

Dress- second hand, shoes- Sarenza, wine- Luc Belaire (sparkling), watch- CLUSE

TJohO!!! Det är fredag och jag är i Berlin igen! Alltså vilken känsla det var att kliva av planet igår till guldskimrande kvällsljus och ljumma, nästan tropiska, vindar. Det är en sån fin festivalkänsla i Berlin om somrarna, fyllt av allt från glada ungdomar och pensionärer på semester till backpackers. Idag ska jag få återförenas med kompisar, röja i lägenheten och kanske gå ut och dansa lite bara för att. Ha världens bästa fredag!!

Wahooo!!! It’s Friday and I’m in Berlin again! Stepping out of the plane yesterday right into shimmering golden evening light and warm, almost tropical, breezes was such an amazing feeling. It’s such a nice festival-ish atmosphere in Berlin in the summer, filled with everything from excited youngsters and pensioners on holiday to backpackers from all corners of the world. Today I’ll reunite with friends, clean the apartment and maybe go out and dance a little just because. Have a lovely day buddies!!

Any skin care tips for fair skin for upcoming summer season?

– Always use both face cream and foundation with spf! If you want to look tanned, just use bronzer instead, and save your light and sensitive skin from nasty sunburn.

Do you have an ultimate tip in terms of beauty for our readers?

-Ask yourself why you use make up: never use make up to cover yourself in any way, just to enhance your favorite parts or as a creative expression! Remember that make up should be fun and creative, not some kind of shield or mask that covers up who you actually are.

Your eyebrows are great counter part to your light hair. How do you style your eyebrows and what products do you use?

– I recently started going to the benifit brow bar to let them color and wax my brows. They never make me disappointed, and it feels good to treat myself with that once in a while (though it hurts soo much since I have so much hair hahaha).

Swoosh! Nu hoppar jag på planet hem till Berlin igen. Eller hem och hem egentligen, det är verkligen ett flytande begrepp för mig just nu. Jag har ju flera hem. Hur som helst! Medan jag flyger och har mig tänkte jag tipsa om att jag nyss gjort en intervju med sminkbutiken Douglas. Jag berättar om mina favoritprodukter, hudvårdsrutiner, att undvika gulblonda toner i håret och mycket mer. Intervjun är på tyska men den går jättebra att översätta med google translate till engelska om man är sugen på att läsa. Plockade ut några citat åt er här ovan! Nu måste jag rulla iväg med min enorma väska. Puss!

Swoosh! It’s time to get on the plane back home to Berlin again. Or I don’t know if “home” is the right word anymore, that’s really is a fluid concept for me right now. I have a several homes. Anyway! While I’m flying, I thought I could tell you about the interview I did with the makeup store Douglas the other week. I’m talking about my favorite products, skin care routines, how I avoid yellow hair and much more. The interview is in German, but it’s easy to translate to english with Google Translate. I picked out some quotes for you above!
Now I have to roll against the airport with my huge bag. Kisses!
