Things I love right now.....

Summer temptation: Frozen Yoghurt
I am seriously jealous of all you lucky Zurich inhabitants who recently got the Yoo Moo shop on Pelikanstrasse (no 19 ;). If I lived in Zurich, I'd be there once per day on hot days. Free from fat, but certainly not free from enjoyment! In the photo one with Madagascan Vanilla topped with fresh blueberries, mango and coconut flakes. My mouth is watering by the pure memory of it!


Music: Lifehouse's "From where you are" and Mat Kearney's album "Young love" (am especially hooked on "Chasing the light", "Sooner or later" and "Ships in the night".


TV series: Homeland
Can't get enough!! Am completely hooked and find it hard not to start a new episode, even when time is way past midnight.


Beauty products: 
Laura Mercier's Almond Coconut Milk Honey Bath (during rainy days). It smells absolutely divine and makes any bubble bath feel luxurious!! Leaves a very smooth feeling on the skin....


Redken's "Smooth down" series! Makes my hair feel amazingly soft and it I have the feeling it could detangle anything =) It also smells really good and it stays a long time. Love it!

Clarin's Eye Revive Beauty Flash! Great way to wake up puffy morning eyes..... I find it the best when kept in the fridge over night as it makes the feeling even more refreshing.


Dermalogica's Antioxidant Hydramist
The perfect summer skin refresher/hydrater! Sometimes in summer when it's really hot, in the morning, I find it better to just spray on something like this rather than putting on a cream as it makes me feel fresher.




Food: Caprese salads
I make them constantly right now as it's fast and so easy to make and the taste, when you have a really good Mozzarella di Bufala, some sunwarm plum or cherry tomatoes and fresh basil is just to die for..... My most recent fix is, (apologies to all you Italians out there), to replace the olive oil with a mix of Avocado oil and Pistacchio oil and top it off with a sweeter kind of Balsamico. The perfect combo in my opinion! I also love to make it with some green salad and Avocado to make it more "foody" (as in the photo). The perfect summer lunch or dinner.....


What are you guys hooked on right now??

How I met your mother

I just have to also post this recommendation for those of you, like me, had missed this fantastic comedy show - How I met your mother!

It took me quite a few episodes, but now I'm an addict..... Such a great source of heart-felt laughter!!

The characters are really great, the writing behind is really well done and always feels fresh and even the plot seems to remain interesting with the constant question in the back of your mind "Who is the mother??"

Like one of main characters, Barney, would say; "It's AWESOME!!".

Don't miss it ;)

N o s t a l g i a !

A few weeks ago, I came to think about watching TV when I was a kid...
I will never forget when "North and south" was first showed on Swedish TV.
It rocked my world! I was absolutely mesmerized by the characters, moved by the intrigues - and most of all, the beautiful dresses and their gorgeous hair! Madeline Fabray was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen and Orry Main the most romantic man on the planet... Oh I even wished I would grow up to look like and be like Mrs Brett Hazard!

I have later realised that this turned out to be some kind of education for me and it's roots go deep. This is how I learned to despise injustice and immoral behaviours, to set my standards for romance, to believe in love at first sight and to love beautiful things.

Two days later, I decided that I had to find this wonderful TV series on DVD to find out if this infatuation of mine was due to young age...
...and so I did find it, Book 1 and Book 2! I finished it all in 5 days.

It is rare for me to say this about something I watched when I was a child to then try to rediscover as an adult - but it's even better now than I remembered!

Maybe you should try it too? ;)
