Due to popular demand on my instagram stories Q&A; Behold my morning skincare routine! I hope you like it and stay tuned for more.
BEAUTY EMPTIES: THE SKINCARE HEROES I USED AND FINISHED LAST YEAR
I have been wanting to do this video for a while since I find it to be such truthful and interesting content. I am an avid skincare enthusiast and I LOVE discovering new products, specially though recommendations. Sadly nowadays with social media, you often get “recommendations” that are not very genuine because they are paid partnerships. I have no problem with that because we all need to make a living but never in my career have I recommended something I don’t really truly love and I use/wear myself. I love empties because its a great way to showcase what you actually used (and FINISHED!) and decide whether you would re-purchase…
I TRIED ULTHERAPY AND THE RESULTS WERE WOW
About 4 months ago, I went to Dr. Daria Voropai at Kalea Clinic in Amsterdam and finally tried the treatment that I have been seeing and hearing about everywhere. This treatment is called Ultherapy and its supposedly the best non-invasive treatment that goes deeper to stimulate production of your body’s own collagen and elastin, for natural-looking results without surgery or downtime. Because I still have young skin, Dr. Daria Voropai decided that the best option for me was to go for the “Half Protocol” in key areas of my face a couple of months before my wedding and I am shocked and super happy with the results! Let me know…
I TRIED INTERMITTENT FASTING FOR A MONTH AND THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED
I just want to begin by disclosing that this is MY STORY and from MY EXPERIENCE. I am in no way a trained specialist nor a nutritionist, but I know what has worked for me and that I would never try something that would harm my body. This is not a post to motivate you to try it, I merely want to share my story, because it has been truly life changing for my digestion and stomach issues. I did not use this method for weight loss as I didn’t need that, but I did want to share the images above to show changes in my body too. The text…
LET’S TALK: MENTAL FITNESS AND WHY IT IS SO IMPORTANT
Lately I’ve been pondering on how we mostly talk about fashion here, but there are so many other topics that are important and have been popping up in my life. I really want to share some of them with you and create (as I previously mentioned) a small community + support system so we can share important issues. This brought me to the next topic; When most people think about fitness -including myself to be honest-, we think about physical fitness, right? We’re all concerned with getting abs (I’m really trying to get my abs back!), losing weight, or just generally trying to stay in shape. But while we do…
MY 5 TIPS TO MOTIVATE YOU TO START RUNNING
As a teenager track and field athlete back in the day, long distance running was one of those extremely frightening things I would always beg my coach to leave me out of. I remember the first time I was supposed to do a 1500m race, I literally didn’t sleep the two nights before the race. I was terrified at the thought of having to do long distance running. In hindsight, this fear was completely ridiculous, I mean, all I had to do was run, thats all. A few years down the line, I finally overcame my “fear or running” and on any given day, I go for a casual 8…
PLAYGROUND TOTAL BODY WORKOUT
This is a great workout to make your core stronger and even though it was never one of my favourite exercises, the stronger I get, the more I like the challenge of being able to do more reps. Try to make your elbows and knees reach, not literally because you aren’t a contorsionist (or maybe you are?), just get them as close as possible, hold for a second or two and repeat 10 times if you can. do 3 sets of 10 reps (or start with 5 reps if you are a beginner) Trying to tone my shoulders is a constant work in progress, so I try to do all…
3 MOVES TO GET YOUR LEGS IN SHAPE
-3 sets of 12 reps on each leg. Try to keep your bottom lifted the whole time and tighten the glutes while you are lifting each leg. -3 sets of 15 reps each. Think of this exercise as the plank version of a simple jumping jack but on a plank position. Try to keep your hips engaged (do not sag them down), that way you are also working your core. -3 reps of 10 lunges on each leg (20 in total per set). This is a crossover lunge which is basically a variation of a normal lunge but crossing your legs side to side. Amazing workout for your hamstrings and glutes!…
