Boots No 7 – Fragrance Free and Hypo-allergenic
Boots No 7 is a skin care collection for all of us, especially those with sensitive skin.
Do you know that perfumes and artificial fragrances has been linked to endocrine disruption and several types of cancer? I found out a while ago and since then I’ve started to change all my skin care to fragrance free. This is just a small part of how I’m trying to take care of myself, but it such an easy thing to do, compared to many other changes.
This skin care collection from Boots are made for people with extra sensitive skin. It’s hypoallergenic (contains less allergens than most other skin care) and it’s developed together with people with very sensitive skin.
I don’t think any of us should use skin care with more allergens than necessary, and I will definitely try these products.
It’s one day cream, one night cream and one eye cream.
A pretty organic shoe
Black Swedish Cork Wedge from Swedish Hasbeens
Look at this beauty! The black leather and the cork wedge. I will wear them until death do us part. And they’re made by 100% vegetable leather. It’s also prepared using natural vegetable oils and is chromium free.
Chromium is bad for the environment and its people. It’s used today in about 95% of leather shoes to make the production cheap, quick and to make the leather feel softer.
A beautiful apartment in Malmö.
I love this apartment where my friends Kristin and Tomas have been living. They’re moving to a house and this apartment is for sale. Buy it here! Malmö seems like a really nice city to live in, I might actually consider it myself some day…
Life at my apartement
1. This is my bedroom view almost every morning at the moment. Sunlight!
2. I’ve started to grow things, cocktail tomatoes and peppers. And it grows!
Planning a rookie hike
We’re planning a hike. I’ve tried out boots and researched routes.
The plan was to spend a long weekend in the mountains, but there’s still a lot of snow. Now we might go south instead, but the nature is very different and it won’t be the same thing.
For me it will be the first time hiking. I’ve always wanted to try, but I haven’t really done any serious plans before. So now I’m curious and nervous, I feel like I really have to be prepared.
I started by reading a lot about the Abisko National Park, and then looking at maps…
My boyfriend has hiked a lot so he knows his way up there. We’ll probably start with some day tours, sleeping in a cabin and maybe some night in a tent.
My findings so far:
1. I’ll drink water directly from the streams
2. Two pairs of heavy trail socks will be my best friends
3. Chocolate and nuts are the proper snack #win
I think I’ll be okay. I’ll keep you updated about the adventure…
After the rain in Paris
Summer in Paris. Rain in the Tuileries.
Friday at the sea
We decided to visit the sea. We climbed the rocks for almost two hours, and then we shared a piece of chili chocolate.
