HOW TO GET THAT GLOWING SKIN

27.12.2018 11.00 REVIEWSBEAUTY

* Gifted products, but not been asked to write anything about it.

After days and days of wearing makeup which is something I normally don't do, I thought today it was time to do a facial mask and get that glowing skin back! I have also gotten a couple of questions about how I keep my skin so clean, and here is the secret. Not only this little tool, but also the fact that I don't wear makeup in my daily life, and use a good day and night cream.

This new device I got a couple of months back has been my favorite ever since. They also got a lot of different masks, and you can see that I got 5 of them already. I have not tried them all out, but I can not wait to do so. It also only takes 90 seconds so you don't have to have a lot of time on your hand to add some daily luxury in your routine.

How does this mask work?

Connect and control your UFO with the FOREO beauty app.

Step 1: Download the FOREO app and follow the instructions to pair your UFO device. In the app, scan the barcode that is on the mask and it will explain to you what to do to make the treatment start.

Step 2: Prep for use. Remove the attachment ring from the UFO, and attach the mask on the device by clipping the attachment ring back in to place with the FOREO logo facing up.

Step 3. Enjoy! Follow the instructions on your phone, and gently slide the FOREO device around your face. There is also a LED light with both heat and cold temperature, so it all depends on what mask you are using, you can feel both.

When you are done using it- Remember to dispose the mask and rinse the FOREO under warm water once you are done using it. And of course remember to end it with a good moisturizer!

Who else loves a good spa day at home? Today I have done a little more than just a face mask, I did a body scrub and hair mask too. Its the best feeling in the world! After going out yesterday too its always super nice to relax the day after at home with a little spa treatment in the bathroom with a hot cup of your favorite tea.

Menilyn Hotel

Location

The perfect location in beautifully Pretoria you come to a safe and secure hotel with 24h security! Close to the highway, but still no noise from the cars.

First impressions

The friendliness of the staff! They wore so nice and accommodating. Not to say the room! I fell in love. I could live in a room like this for a very very long time.

The room

I mean, look at the photos. I was so happy with the room, and not only that but I got welcomed with a bottle of wine, fruit platter and whatever else I wanted in the room. I could not have dreamed of anything else after a couple of days running around being busy in the wilderness which a huge bathtub that could fit all of me ( yep, I am never really able to lie down flat in a bathtub ) I decided to do a face mask, hair treatment and just enjoy an episode of “how to get away with murder” while I enjoyed the fruit platter.

I must also say that they had a phone called " Handy" as you can see I posted a photo of the phone above. You can call, text and you can use the phone as your GPS so you don't get lost around the city.

Food

Delicious! I had no idea what 90% of what was in the dinner meny meant, but the food ended up being delicious! The breakfast too. I had a Moroccan salad with eggs etc,I never tried it before, but it was delicious! All the food and drinks at the hotel was amazing!

Where to find the hotel?

209 Tugela Road
Ashlea Gardens
Pretoria, South Africa

…

I did a collaboration with Menlyn Boutique hotel which means they covered all expenses in relation to my two night stay. I was not paid for this article. Thoughts and opinions are 100% my own. Thanks for supporting collaborations that I am excited about 💛

ORGANIC ENERGY DRINK

22.08.2018 09.00 REVIEWS

It is not everyday you see me advertise about things on my blog, but today I just feel like I had to. For the longest time I have been dreaming and wishing for this drink to come to Norway- the famous Yerba Mate! Well, Famous in my world at least, and to the people who knows me. And it is pretty big in the U.S as well, very often I found it sold out which made me so sad, because the energy I get from this drink is crazy! That being said, I first learned about this drink about three years ago in the U.S, first I did not believe that anything else than Redbull would work for me, but when I tried this- it was another level of energy! And it cleanses your body too, which is a big plus to get rid off and detox from the days before.

Now that this drink has finally come to Norway, and I no longer need my friends to send me these drinks in the mail. Yeey! Of course I had to order some of the flavors they got. They even had to bring a big truck to deliver it to me. It was only 30KG, no biggie 💁

My favorites flavors are definitely Grapefruit Ginger, Cranberry Pomegranate and Revel Berry! And of course Mint, but we do not have that one in Norway yet! So I had to do with ordering the Yerba Mate Mint tea, and it is delicious! One tea and Yerba Mate drink like this in the morning and I am good to go for the rest of the day. People at work still don’t understand how I am able to survive the day without coffee, but I guess they haven’t tried Yerba Mate?

You can get them in most stores- MENY, Spar, Eurospar, Joker, Deli de Luca and healthcare stores. Thank me later 😉
