Perfect Off-Duty Skin

On Sundays I hardly ever wear make up simply due to lack of plans and motivation to leave my couch. But frome time to time, when I have some plans or am puttering around the house and need a bit of a fresh start in the morning to get going I will try to do the max of appearance improvement with a minimum of effort. When I'm forgoing foundation and heavy make up I try to make my skin look it's best as it's then the focal point of my face.

My At-Home Spa Routine

Anyone who knows me just a little bit knows that I am obsessed with everything skincare, face-massage, spa treatments and relaxation. Unfortunately Spa-treatments aren't the most inexpensive hobby which is why it oftentimes comes in handy to have an at-home spa-like routine that doesn't cost you anything (apart from the purchase of skin care products but I do that anyway) but will relax you at least 80% like a real treatment.

The People Who Shape Us

"The books you read and the people you surround yourself with today define the person you will be in five years"

I always loved this quote. From the moment I read it years ago I started trying to deeply understand its meaning and put more of an effort into my relationships, the people I surround myself with and the ways they contribute to my life and to me growing as a person. We always think of our parents first when we try to recunstruct the influences that shaped us but oftentimes forget the people we spend most of our teenage and adult time with. In contrast to family, friends are people you can hand-pick. Even though friendships form spontaneously and out of the moment when you feel like you click with someone, it has to be a concious choice as who to keep in your life for the long run.

How I Tackle Problem Skin

If I told my fifteen year old self that heavily blemished skin and acne would soon be problems of the past she would probably cry with happiness. But even though those days lay long behind me (THANK GOD!) I still have the odd breakout from time to time and am constantly dealing with clogged pores and oily skin. So for the days when that happens I have figured out a routine that helps me to get rid of annoying blemishes and zits.
