orange beauty

I'm still coughing so while I was home I tried my orange Lush bath bomb and I really smelled like orange blossoms afterwards. And I've gotten some new Decléor products that I'm going to try to spoil myself with during these rather rough studying days.

girls' spa night

My bestie and I had the most wonderful spa night this evening. We spent most of the day in Thong Lor and Ekkamai with my sister. We went on a café hunt and I'll tell you more about that later on. Anyway, we had some Lebanese food at Nadimos before going to the Japanese spa for treatments. We went to Onsen baths before a three hour pampering consisting of 60 minutes vanilla body scrub, a 90 minutes aroma therapy massage (I chose eucalyptus scented oil) and then 30 minutes herbal compress. I've never tried that before and it was quite nice - the herbal compress can be a little too hot but the staff was really super nice and considerate! Definitely going back soon! Our package ended at 11 pm and it was delightful - that's why I look like a drowsy owl in the last picture. The first one is me in a teak bath that smelled so, so good! I love how we're just relaxing, having fun and enjoying ourselves out here. Bliss!

post party tanning time

Yesterday was my little sister's graduation party, which was lots of fun but rather stressful. We had 60 guests at our house, so I barely had the chance to talk to everyone. I spoke to some old friends that I've kind of lost contact with though, so that was fun. I woke up rather early today even though I'm pretty sleepy and had brunch. Then I helped out cleaning the house and garden after yesterday's festivities and right now I'm tanning by the pool and studying some Health Psychology, which basically what I'll do the rest of the day.

kurhotel skodsborg spa day

My boyfriend and I had the coziest day at Kurhotel Skodsborg today. He met me in Hellerup after University and then we drove to Skodsborg to enjoy a spa day. We started with some cardio and strength exercises in the fitness centre (it was gorgeous and I'll post more about it later) and that went quite well (turned out we worked out a little too hard because we were semi-immobile the rest of the weekend)... We also went for some massage and swimming in the Hydrospa pool, which was warm and lovely. The outdoor jacuzzi was pretty nice too. There are also lots of different smaller spa rooms; salt cave, saunas, steam bath (a favourite of mine), foot baths and some special rooms with multiple sense experiences (a walk in ice cold water accompanied by ice cold shower drizzle and foot baths, light and sound experiences etc.). There is one long pool for swimming too but we didn't use it, we preferred the warmer Hydrospa with different massage areas... I have never been to the spa in Skodsborg before even though I live quite close to it but I'm definitely going back! The spa in Skodsborg is very minimalistic, white and modern so it's perfect for relaxing and unwinding after a busy week!

spa cenvaree

Right now (European time), I'll probably be sitting in the airplane, having lots of yummy snacks to devour... So I figured that I'd schedule a post about more relaxed times - my treatments at Spa Cenvaree at Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas in Hua Hin. I had two treatments that I'll tell you more about below; a body therapy treatment and a facial. Both treatments started with a foot bath and an antiseptic foot scrub and a cup of some sort of ice tea. They also both finished with a cup of delicious ginger tea and some dried pineapple for snacks while I relaxed with a warm shoulder pillow in the couch of the treatment room, watching the ocean and palm trees.

Body Therapy; Instant Smooth for 1 h & 45 minutes:

It started with a pumpkin and gooseberry body scrub, which was really nice and smelled absolutely delicious. Then we moved on to a body wrap consisting of seaweed, green tea, caffeine and botanical oils. The scent of this was divine as well and I was wrapped in warm towels and able to relax for quite some time while the mud was working. Then, I had to shower before a final massage with a soybean and jojoba serum to moisturise my skin. This treatment was super relaxing, I really felt pampered and my skin was super radiant and smooth afterwards. I highly recommend it! I'm not a huge fan of massages since I'm quite ticklish and I also feel like it's a waste on money because usually I never have any body pain that needs treating.

Facial; Face Hydration & Glow Jurlique Deep Cleanse for 60 minutes:

The brochure promised that this facial was designed to unclog pores and improve the skin tone. And it really, really did! My face feels super clean, moisturised (even after all the sun, salt water and sun block) and really soothed. Products from the Australian organic skin care brand Jurlique were used and you can see them in one of the pictures. The facial steps included cleansing, exfoliation, steaming (I don't think I've tried this more than once before and it was really lovely and warm), a cleansing mask and a facial and hand massage with lotion and oils.

spa cenvaree snaps

Boy, do I feel refreshed! I got a body therapy treatment yesterday and a facial today. Here are a couple of black and white snaps, until I can get my camera photos transferred to my Mac. I went to the spa at Grand Centara, it's called Spa Cenvaree and I really felt well taken care of and pampered before, during and after the treatments. The body therapy was the most relaxing but I think the facial shows more result. I'll dye my eyebrows when I get home because they get bleached by the sun quite quickly. But doesn't my skin look good? It feels super good!

lush handmade cosmetics

I'm spending this weekend with my boyfriend and he brought me some bath bombs from Lush. I love their bath bombs and I'm planning on getting a lip scrub, the Silky Underwear powder and perhaps some more bath melts of bubble bars... What are your favourite products from Lush and why?

goodnight pretty people

I'm going to sleep soon but first I have to do some homework, do my evening stretches and wash my face. Here's a pretty blurry no makeup selfie for you. I'm starting to notice that selfies aren't really as good with the iPhone 4S compared to the newer iPhones... I might wish for a new one for Christmas. Anyway, I don't really know what to blog about at the moment, so please comment if there's anything particular you'd like me to blog about or know. Goodnight pretty people!

decléor delivery

We got this Decléor delivery today and I am so excited about trying all the products. I've tried some of them before and I just adore them! Decléor always feels super soothing, luxurious and subtle. I also got a bunch of other stuff from Lyko such as Burt's Bees lip balm, Maria Nila hair masque, Depend eyelash and -brow dye and a bareMinerals mineral foundation. So I'm thinking about having a mini spa day tomorrow to pamper myself and prep for next week. Today I've been on a long walk and now it's time for some Chemistry!

sex bomb

I tried out the Sex Bomb bath bomb from Lush this afternoon and my skin has such a fresh scent of jasmine. It also makes the water a really pretty pink colour. I sort of have Lush cravings at the moment since I didn't go to the shop in Malmoe yesterday. I think I want to buy a lip scrub... Anyway, afterwards, my boyfriend and I went for a walk and got some coffee. We also took pictures of my outfit, they are coming up soon.

natura siberica energizing facial mask

I just popped by the newly opened Natura Siberica store in Copenhagen on my way to school the other day. I got my favourite eye makeup remover, but I figured that I've blogged a lot about that one, so this time I'll show you something new... I also got this "Energizing Facial Mask" with Siberian Ginseng and Arctic Ashberry and I've already tried it on. It was very soothing and velvety. I won't post a picture with it on because it's transparent but I definitely recommend it! Super pampering and cheap!

university prep

Today, I've been prepping for school tomorrow... I cleaned my room, ordered stuff, read stuff, packed stuff, planned outfits and now I'm drinking tea, fixing my nails and I've applied a facial mud mask. I'm also fixing blog posts for the next few days. Tonight, I'll be going to sleep early because I got to look (and feel!) fresh tomorrow! Wish me luck!

ben & jerry's at the beach

Went to the beach to tan, relax and eat Ben & Jerry´s Cookie Dough ice cream. Yum! It's finally sunny outside!

tisty tosty

Yesterday, we watched lots of House of Cards and took a bath with the Tisty Tosty bath bomb from Lush. I loved the smell: geranium, jasmine, rose and lemon and the small rosebuds give it a really luxurious touch. Today the sun is shining so I've got to get out and work on my tan!

clarisonic cashmere cleanse

Right now, I'm using my Cashmere Cleanse Clarisonic brush head, which is super soft and gentle but still cleansing. I figured that I'd try out a new brush head since the standard one is a little too rough for my skin and it's particularly important not to be too harsh on the skin during the summer! Not that there has been too much sun this summer... Anyway, today I'm at work - this is my last day this summer!

big blue bath bomb

 After a super cold and quite rough couple of days at work I was thrilled to have a super relaxing Sunday night. I used one of my Lush bath bombs for a long warm bath before watching some House of Cards with my boyfriend. The bath bomb is called "Big Blue" and it gives the water a Seychelles-ish shoreline colour. It also contains arame seaweed, sea salt, lemon oil and lavender oil, which made it smell lovely and really feel fresh as an ocean.

pampered

I've been so pampered this week! A relaxed stay in Tisvildeleje where I had lots of sleep, delicious food and great company. When I got home, I did a full facial with my new Munkholm Mud Mask and Decléor products. Today I've been sleeping all morning too, then I tanned and went to work out, go for a walk and we've just had an amazing dinner. I adore my new cute duvet covers by H&M Home and matched it with my Victoria's Secret PJs.

munkholm mud & honey

My Mum bought me and my sister one facial mask each from Munkholm when we were in Gilleleje. I got the one with mud and my sister will get the honey one. Right now, I'm blogging from home and soon I'll go for a walk and later tonight I'll pamper myself with a facial, hair mask and a bubble bath in this wintery weather!

so white

There's no better way to end this week and prep for the next busy one than a bath! I used the "So White" Lush bath bomb but it turned out to be quite pink after all. I also enjoyed a Rosé Prosecco. I'm currently blogging and waiting for Moët & Chandon Rosé Impérial champagne because my sister turns 18 in a little more than an hour! Congratulations and cheers!

lush space girl bath bomb

More tub pics... Long Sunday baths are just the best after a long walk and some stretching. I used the "Space Girl" bath bomb from Lush and it was gorgeous as you can see. I also used Kérastase shampoo and a hair mask as well as Decléor facial products and they were all fab. I had sparkling water with raspberries and mango in the bath, if I don't drink something cold in the tub I feel like I'll melt away. Serenity!
