I admit, I am addicted to beauty products - but if there is one thing that I love just as much, and if anything I have actually loved even longer, it is home decor. I am Danish after all, so I think that a love for design runs in my blood, so I simply love collecting special pieces for my home that I know I'll love for a long time. We have a new large contemporary home, and some very large class that are still bare, looking for the right artworks to fill them… But I’ve now come across the coolest artwork wetsite ever - Photowall ... Photowall  is based in Sweden and produce made-to-measure wall decor in their factory in Sweden, which they then ship worldwide.  Their range include wall murals , wallpaper , canvas prints , framed prints and posters . And each category has more different designs than you can possibly imagine, over 16,000 different motifs, within groups such as Animals, Art & Design, Children, Sport, Vintage, Nature, People, Textures… you name it, and it’s t...

I have previously talked about the Australian brand Skinstitut, and today I am very excited to be putting some further products from heir large range to the test… Skinstitut is an Australian cosmeceutical skincare range using premium, potent and cutting edge cosmical grade ingredients based on proven blends of AHA’s, Retinoids, Vitamin C, Peptides, Antioxidants and SPF technology. And what I really love, is that the cruelty free company also believes that high-end skincare should be accessible to everyone, and consequently their products are priced around 50% less than other comparative brands, with all products having a recommended retail price of $49 or less, and you can frequently find great offers on various online beauty shopping sites too, such as Active Skin , RY and Facial Co , so just how amazing is that! Now, let’s talk about the products I’ve put to the test; Skinstitut Glycolic Cleanser 12%*  Skinstitut Glycolic Scrub 14%*  Skinstitut Enzymatic Micro Peel...

Nothing will ever beat that post salon-treatment feeling - but for me, with two little kids, finding time to go isn’t always easy - I love that at-home DIY beauty devices have come such a long way. I’ve been loving the new Microdermabrasion Kit from KALINNI Skin Co. The KALINNI Microdermabrasion kit is a super easy to use beauty device to use at home. It has a microcrystalline tip, which polishes and exfoliates the top layer of tired, dull skin, buffing away dead skin cells, while the vacuum suction unclogs pores and increases blood flow, thereby helping to promote collagen and elastin production for a plumper and more radiant looking skin - with far superior results than a regular face exfoliant. The KALINNI Microdermabrasion kit comes with; Microdermabrasion Device  Interchangeable tips x 4: 1. Diamond sensitive tip - for regular use 2. Diamond extraction tip - for spot treatment and blackhead removal 3. Diamond precision tip - for those small, hard to reach places 4. Diamond ...

Livani Haircare  As with my other beauty products, I am increasingly looking for more natural alternatives - but while it may be a lot better for our environment, natural products are sadly not always performing very well - and when it comes to my long, wavy coloured hair, it is often left looking dry, dull and very frizzy. But that was until I tried Livani ….  Livani creates a range of luxurious high quality natural haircare, using premium natural active ingredients for effective, yet gentle products. I’ve put a few of them to the test… Livani Strengthen Shampoo and Conditioner Livani Strengthen Shampoo - RRP: AU$ 58 / 375ml Designed for extremely dull, brittle and damaged hair, this is a nourishing formula help reconstruct, rebuild and protect the hair thanks to being enriched with sweet almond and rice proteins and elderflower extracts, all while being super gentle as it is also formulated with five sulphate free cleansers. It has Livani’s signature Luxury Blend fragrance...

Once upon a time, my hand bag was loaded with countless lipsticks, lip glosses and makeup for touch-ups during the day - today, not so much any more. And all because of COVID, and going out now mostly requires a face mask covering half your face, rendering most makeup, and most definitely lipstick no longer as necessary. In its place, next to the face mask, is now always a bottle of Sanitiser. It has simply become a way of life.  But we all know by now, that sanitiser isn’t just sanitiser. Yes, there are rules and regulations to ensure their efficacy - yet still, many are, to put it nicely, simply NOT nice. They smell horrid and they and are so drying for the hands.  Enter Touch Sanitation Solutions - the Australian made and owned brand that develops sanitising solutions.  I’ve put the Touch 24-Hand Guard Alcohol Free Sanitiser Foam to the test. The Touch 24-Hand Guard has proven to sanitise and stay active on the hands and offer protection for up to 24 hours. It also ha...

The Reject Shop also has an enormous range of confectionary - including all your usual favourites from Allen’s, Trolli, Starburst, M&Ms, and Cadbury, all...

I have always loved lingerie. I have always preferred buying less, but quality products that last longer, and the same applies to my lingerie. You can simply tell as the fit is just so much better. And there is just something about wearing a set of pretty lingerie.  With two little kids, I am rarely on my own, and shopping for lingerie, is no fun with them in tow - not that anyone is really racing to the shops in these Covid-19 self-isolation times. But that’s where  Curvy Bras  comes in handy. Not only do they have a huge selection of all the well-known brands, they also have all styles from fashion to practical and sport, and in sizes ranging from D to G, so there truly is something for everyone. But what I also love about Curvy Bras, is that they have a great service where they offer free return if something doesn’t fit. How good is that. Simply order and try it on in the comfort of your home, and return if it doesn’t fit!! Got to love that! I've put a few things to ...
