Når man er selvstændig kan det godt nogengange gå op for en hvor meget man er “sig selv” og hvor lidt der er andre i ens professionelle liv til at tage over for en. Faktisk er der ingen. Ihvertfald ikke i mit tilfælde. Søndag aften blev jeg ramt af en ordentlig omgang mave influenza (ew I know) og havde ikke kun en rigtig hård nat mod mandag men havde også bare en super slatten og virkelig øv mandag. Brugte det meste af dagen på at se film, sove og forsøge at spise æble og hotdog brød. Og i sådanne situationer kan man godt mærke at man bare er helt alene i sin egen lille verden når email’sne strømmer ind og der var 832 ting man skulle have lavet men man kan intet af det. Jeg kan godt nogengange misunde dem som har en almindelig arbejdsplads hvor det er okay at være syg og hvor det ikke betyder at man føler alt falder ned om ørene på en. Men så når jeg bliver rask igen, synes jeg jo alligevel det her er det fedeste. Man må tage det sure med det søde, right?
english: When you run your own business it sometimes becomes very clear how “by yourself” you are and now little there are other people in your professional life. Actually there aren’t any in my case. Sunday evening I got a bad case of the stomach flu (ew I know) and not only was it a very hard night going monday but it was also just a really sucky and yucky monday. I used most of it watching movies, sleeping and trying to eat apple and hotdog buns. And in situations like this you really feel all alone in your own little world where you have 832 things to do and the email’s just keep coming in. Sometimes I feel jealous of those with a “regular” job where it’s okay to call in sick and where it doesn’t mean that the sky is falling down. But then when I get better again, I kinda wouldn’t trade this for anything you know? It’s good with the bad I guess.

At passe på sig selv. Hvad betyder det? Hvad vil det egentlig sige? Selvfølgelig er det meget individuelt hvad der gør at man føler sig afslappet, veltilpas eller sund. Og hvad vil det sige at være sund? Sundhed er også en meget individuel ting tror jeg, og både mental og fysisk sundhed skal jo gerne gå hånd i hånd før man er “rigtig” sund, ikke? eller hvad? Det er svært at definere sundhed, ligesom det også er svært at sætte nogle definitive retningslinjer for det “at være sund”. Det eneste man kan gøre er jo egentlig at mærke efter, og måske lytte til nogen som man selv synes er “sunde”. Om man så lytter gennem magasin artikler, bøger, blogs eller tv udsendelser er jo så op til en selv. Jeg har ihvertfald valgt at skrive et lille indlæg om hvordan jeg holder mig “sund”. Mental sundhed for mig er gode film, musik, at tage sjove billeder af mine venner og dem jeg elsker og så er jeg helt tosset med at skrive. Jeg har skrevet tonsvis af sider i hånden igennem tiden, det giver mig ro i hovedet – nogengange hjælper det rigtig meget at “få det ud”. Hvad end “det” så er. Beauty og fysisk velvære er også en stor del af hvad får mig til at føle mig sund. Og her mener jeg beauty både udefra men bestemt også indefra. Jeg tager mange kosttilskud og gør en dyd ud af at sammensætte en kombination som er helt rigtig for mig. Jeg elsker at spise gode sunde snacks samt drikke plante baseret mælk. Jeg er på ingen måde fanatisk omkring min indtagelse af mad men der er små ting som jeg har skåret fra eller erstattet med det sundeste alternativ overhovedet. På den måde kan jeg godt “slacke” andre steder. Udenpågående beauty (jeg er ikke sikker på det er et ord, men det er det nu). Her elsker at jeg forkæle mig selv med ansigtsrulle rutiner, lækre masker, top hudpleje, bodyscrubs og forskellige olier. Velvære er selvfølgelig også at rejse, men det er en helt anden snak – den kan vi tage en anden dag. Til næste gang!
english: To take care of yourself. What does that mean? What does it actually mean? Of course it’s a very individual thing I think. Both mental and physical health kinda has to go hand in hand for there to be an overall feeling of “health” right? Or? It’s difficult to define health, just like it’s also difficult to ensemble some definite guidelines of what it is “to be healthy”. The only thing you can really do is feel your body and mind and maybe listen to people around you, who you think are “healthy”. Weather that listening is through articles, blogs, books or tv shows – well that’s up to you. With this in mind, I wanted to write a little post about how I stay healthy. Mental health for me is good movies, music, to take photos of my loved ones and writing. I have written countless pages by hand, it calms me – sometimes it helps just to get it out you know? Whatever “it” is. Beauty and physical comfort is also a big part of what makes me feel “healthy”. And of course here applies beauty on both the outside and the inside greatly. I take a lot of vitamins and it’s very important to me to combine them in a way that’s just right for me. I love eating good, healthy snacks and drink plant based “milk”. I am in no way a fanatic regarding my food but I have chosen to cut certain things out of my diet and replace them with the healthier option so that I can “slack” other places. Beauty that goes on the outside is another thing, I love my facerollers, masks, quality skincare, bodyscrubs and various oils. Mental health is of course also to travel, but that’s a whole other talk that we can do another day. So long!

Oh hvor havde jeg set frem til dette længe! Jeg skulle faktisk have gjort det inden jul men længe leve dovenskaben. Jeg trængte desperat til at blive klippet. Mit pandehår var længere end min nabo’s bryster og egentlig så jeg lettere pjusket ud. Jeg får ret tit spørgsmål om mit hår, særligt på instagram så jeg tænkte jeg ville lave et lille post hvor jeg fortæller om hvor jeg bliver klippet, hvad der bliver gjort osv. Jeg bliver klippet af fantastiske Betty Christoffersen. Betty er medstifter af Saco Hair som ligger i Fiolstrædet og hun er den eneste jeg tør lade røre mit hår. I hvertfald med en saks i hånden (lidt hovedbunds nus siger jeg sjældent nej til). Udover pandehår klippede Betty spidser og gav mit meget trætte (over sol eksponeret LA hår) en gloss. En gloss er ikke noget farligt blot et ekstra plejende og beskyttende lag som giver håret lidt ekstra glans og glød. Man kan også vælge at komme lidt farve i hvis man vil prøve det – dog bliver både gloss og farve skyllet ud efter lidt tid. Jeg har krøller fra naturens side men disse på billedet er (desværre) lavet af Betty og blev vildt smukke! Jeg har sat et link ind øverst hvis nogen selv vil ind og blive klippet hos SACO så kan i booke tid igennem der. God fornøjelse!
english: Oh my had I been looking forward to this for a looong time! I should have done this before Christmas but CHEERS to laziness. I desperately needed a haircut. My bangs were longer than my neighbors breasts and to be honest I looked rather shagged (and not in a good way). I quite often get questions about my hair, especially on instagram so I thought I would do a little post explaining where I get it cut, what I get done and so on. My hair is cut by the amazing Betty Christoffersen. Betty is the co-founder of Saco hair located in Fiolstrædet in central Copenhagen. She is the only one I let touch my hair, with a scissor in her hand that is (I rarely pass on hair cuddles). Besides cutting my bangs, Betty also fixed my split ends and gave me a gloss. Betty recommended that we did a gloss because my overly sun exposed LA hair was very dull and needed a pick me up. A gloss is nothing permanent just a layer of care, shine and life to the hair. It’s also possible to add a little bit of color but it’s all washed out after a while. I have natural curls but these were made by Betty! Wish they were mine, I always love how she styles my hair. I have put in a link under the photo to SACO if you wanna check it out yourself. Enjoy!

Valentins dag er meget mere end at vise du elsker din partner. Det er min helt oprigtige mening at du skal fejre denne dag lige præcis som det passer dig. Hvis du er i forhold, så håber jeg du bliver forkælet og jeg håber du husker at forkæle din partner – jeg mener det damer, det er også hans valentins dag. Men hvis ikke du er i et forhold så håber jeg du husker at forkæle dig selv. Køb en ny taske, køb en cheeseburger – faktisk, køb begge dele. Jeg har personligt en kæmpe kærlighed for lingerie. Jeg elsker, elsker, ELSKER lingerie. Jeg elsker også at i min verden er mit lingerie lige så meget for mig selv som det er for andre. Der kan ikke sættes en pris på at have det godt, derfor er det også vigtigt for mig at dokumentere når jeg har det aller bedst. Jeg elsker at tage polaroids gennem mit liv så jeg kan huske hvordan jeg har set ud. Jeg er sikker på når jeg er i 40’erne, 50’erne eller 60’erne at jeg vil glæde mig over de her billeder og sætte pris på dem for altid. Så med det sagt, tror jeg mit mantra denne valentins dag er; elsk dig selv, du fortjener det! Happy Valentines Day.
english: Valentines day is about so much more than love for your partner. In my opinion, you should celebrate this day how ever you want. If you are in a relationship I hope you get spoiled and I hope you are spoiling your partner – ladies I am serious, it’s valentines for him too. But if you aren’t in one, I hope you spoil yourself. Buy yourself a new bag, buy yourself a cheeseburger – or heck, do both! One of my biggest love affairs is lingerie. I love, adore and cherish lingerie. I also love how for me, it’s as much for myself as it’s for someone else. Feeling good is priceless so never forget to capture those moments when you feel good. I love taking polaroids through out my life to remember what I looked like. I know when I look back at these in my 40’s, 50’s or 60’s I will cherish them greatly. I guess my message this valentines is; love yourself, you deserve it. Happy Valentines Day.

Shop the 3 key products from this look
Hairspray (shop here), Mousse (shop here), Dry shampoo (shop here)
Som i måske har set på min instastory i forbindelse med Københavns modeuge var jeg så heldig at være backstage sammen med Sebastian Professional under Designers Remix showet. Her var der fokus på moderne 80’er hår med lækker sideskildning og uperfekte spidser. Looket blev skabt med en blanding af forskellige typer krøller for et mere “permanentet” look som man ofte havde i 80’erne. Key produkterne i looket bestod af hairspray, en god bouncy mousse og massere af dry shampoo. Dry shampoo er blandt andet også det som giver de “tørre spidser” som er en stor del af looket. Jeg var så heldig at få lov til at stille Sebastian Professional’s global artist, Nina Larsen, et par spørgsmål om looket og hende selv – dem kan i læse nedenfor på engelsk. Så kan alle være med. Rigtig god fornøjelse.
english: As you may have noticed on my instastory, I was so lucky, that during Copenhagen Fashionweek, I got to be backstage at the Designers Remix show with Sebastian Professional. Here, the 80’s had arrived. Chic midtparts and imperfect ends were key to this modern 80’s take on a curly hairstyle. The hair had different types of curls to resemble the look of a perm from the 80’s. Key products to create this look included hairspray, a bouncy mousse and dry shampoo. The dry shampoo, especially, is what creates the dryness and illusion of the “split ends” which is a big part of the look. I was so lucky that I got to ask Sebastian Professionals global artist, Nina Larsen, some questions about the look and herself. Read below. Enjoy!
3 QUESTIONS TO NINA LARSEN, KEY ARTIST, SEBASTIAN PROF.
How do you, as the key stylist, come up with new looks all the time?
As key stylist it’s very important to keep track of the new tendencies. You are either lucky to be able to create and develop looks yourself or you are not. Creativity is a gift. For me to be creative, it’s important for me to have the space and time to reflect. I get this during my many travels where I take the time to reflect but also to gather new inspiration. It’s also important for me to be surrounded by creative minds and create together.
What is your best hair trick? A bun can be hard to style because we want it to look natural and organic. What’s important is the product you use during your blowdry. Add a bit of the Sebastian Texture Maker into damp hair and blow-dry with your head down to create that “fluff” in the hair. The Texture Maker creates a texture that makes the hair much easier to style. If you want a high bun, put your head between your legs and make a high ponytail. Use your hands. Then you twist the ponytail around it’s center. A good tip is to make it tighter than you want it at first, that way you know it’s secure. When the bun is finished you are ready to style it in the front and loosen it in the back. Finish your look with Sebastians Drynamic dryshampoo for that messy finish.
What are you personal favorite products from Sebastian Professional?
My favorites right now are Sebastian Dark Oil and Sharper Fierce. Dark Oil smells amazing and can be used before blow dry but also in dry hair to add some shine. Dark Oil gives a nice soft feel to the hair while it nurtures and add’s shine. The Sebastian Sharper Fierce is a hairspray with strong hold. I love that it’s so dry in it’s consistency yet the hair still feels light.

Jeg er vild med mig tid, mig tid er meget vigtigt. Ikke kun for mig, men også for mine elskede omkring mig. De får en meget bedre Maria i deres liv når jeg husker at tage mig min mig tid. Jeg forstod aldrig rigtig mig tid før hen. Det var først for et par år siden da jeg led under et mavesår som opstod grundet stress at jeg lærte at tage mig tid til mig selv. Jeg fik stress af at flytte til en ny by, af at arbejde min rumpe i laser på et nyt job, af at forsøge på at være en super kæreste og den perfekte datter mens jeg aktivt altid (stadig) forsøger at udleve alle mine (mange) drømme. Mit lille mavestår bor stadig i min mave og er altid klar på lige at give mig en lille brændende fornemmelse hvis jeg ikke har husket at tage mig min mig tid. Fashionweek kan godt være meget stressende. Heldigvis har jeg det nemt; jeg bliver kørt rundt i lækre biler, mine shows er planlagt og chaufføren ved altid hvor jeg skal hen. Folk er søde og det er altid sjovt. Men det er stadig nogle laaaange dage, meget mingelereren, mange billeder og mange outfits at holde styr på. Så ugen efter, har jeg helt sikkert brug for lidt mig tid. Min mig tid er mange ting; jeg elsker at se friends, lægge masker eller ligge på en parkbænk og kigge op i himlen mens jeg lytter til Elton John – det er alt sammen humør bestemt. Men noget jeg virkelig holder af er at være i køkkenet og lave ting og sager. En af mine yndlings smage fra min barndom er fersken is te, så da Fuze tea spurgte om jeg havde lyst til at smage deres nye is te var jeg helt på! Fuze tea er lavet på sort te ekstrakt med naturlig frugt smag og er super forfriskende. Jeg kan godt lide at bruge is te’en til at lave en lille “drink”. En del af mig tid er også at gøre noget lidt ekstra for sig selv, og en flot “drink” kan snildt være en del af det. Jeg kan godt lide at mixe hindbær og mynte sammen med fersken smagen og citron skiver med en stav rosmarin i lemon smagen. Disse små, ekstra ingredienser gør ikke kun drikken smuk men fremmer også smagsoplevelsen. God fornøjelse!
english: I am a big fan of me time, me time is important. Not just to me, it’s also important to the people around me. They get a much better Maria in their life if I take my me time. I never really understood me time until a few years ago where I suffered an ulcer from stress. Stress from living in a new city, working my ass of at my new job, trying to be a great girlfriend, the perfekt daughter and trying to live my (many) dreams, amongst other things. My little ulcer still lives in my stomach and it kindly gives me a little tug when I need to take some me time. Fashionweek can be a stressful time. Luckily I have it easy; I am driven around in awesome cars, my shows are all in my calendar and the driver knows where I am going. People are always nice and it’s a fun time. But it’s still looong days, lot’s of mingling, lot’s of pictures to take and sets of clothes to change into. So the week after, I need some me time. My me time can be many things; I love watching friends, doing a facemask or laying on a park bench looking into the sky and listen to Elton John – it all depends on the mood. Something I also love is to spend time in the kitchen, making stuff. One of my favorite flavors from my childhood is peach ice tea so when Fuze tea asked me to taste their new range of ice teas I was all in. Fuze tea is made with black tea extract and natural fruit flavors and makes for a great refreshment. I like to make a little “drink” with my ice tea. Apart of me time is also making me feel special and a nice looking beverage does that for me. I love to add raspberries and mint to the peach flavored tea and lemon with a stench of rosemary for the lemon flavored tea. These extra little ingredients not only makes a pretty drink but a full experience. Enjoy!

Min farve palette bære ofte præg af mine omgivelser. Jeg er så heldig at bo midt i København (også der hvor der er smukkest efter min mening), nemlig inde ved Amalienborg, Marmor kirken og Odd Fellow Palæet. De sandfarvet mure, hvide vinduer og mægtige bygninger fylder mig med lykke hver eneste dag! Min nye favorit trøje er denne fra Weekday x Champion! Vi har før snakket om at jeg er vældig glad for teddy og denne er blot endnu en skøn sag til samlingen. Den er netop lanceret i dag så skynd jer over og kig på den enten i butik eller online! I morgen flyver jeg til Oslo! Det bliver skønt, jeg har aldrig været der før og glæder mig til at se hvad deres modeuge kan byde på! God torsdag derude!
english: My color pallet is often influenced by my surroundings. I am so lucky to live in the middle of Copenhagen (that’s also the most beautiful part, in my opinion), and that is right by Amalienborg, the marble church and the old Odd Fellow mansion. The sandy exterior, the white windows and the mighty buildings brings me a sense of serenity everyday. My new favorite shirt is this one from Weekday x Champion. I have mentioned in a previous post that I am in love with teddy at the moment so this is a great add on to my current collection. It’s only just launched today so hurry into one of the stores or online to check it out. Tomorrow I am off to Oslo! I am so excited I have never been there before and I look forward to being apart of their fashionweek! Happy Thursday!
Hej alle jer! Jeg fandt en fin lille mappe med outfits som jeg aldrig nåede at få op i 2017. Så dem tænkte jeg lige at jeg ville dele med jer. Vi starter med dette farve vidunder. Taget engang i sommers, et sted i indre by sammen med Laura. Jeg havde en kort periode en meget stor kærlighed til at mixe noget meget sporty med noget meget usporty som f.eks. at mixe Cedric Charlier med Nike. Læg lige mærke til pandehåret – det var fanme fint!
english: Hi beauties! I just found a little map of outfits on my desktop that I didn’t get around to publishing in 2017. So I thought I would share them with you now. Let’s start with some color lovin’. Taken sometime this summer, somewhere in Copenhagen by Laura. I had for a short while a very intense love of the mixing of something very sporty with very not so sporty. Like mixing Cedric Charlier and Nike. Please notice the bangs – god damm it, those are fine!
Nr. 2, er et outfit som jeg havde på nærmest hele juli måned, eller det er ihvertfald sådan jeg husker det. Det var komfortabelt, farverigt og så alligevel varmt nok til at have på i det danske sommer vejr. Jeg har stadig den her strik hængende på mit stativ inde i soveværelset. Den er sgu ret sejt!
english: I wore this second outfit almost all of July last year, or at least thats how I remember it. It was comfortable, colorful and warm enough to keep the chilly danish summer out. I still have this knit hanging in my closet. It’s still pretty cool, I have to say!
Et råb til min skandinaviske herkomst. Ellers ikke et stil univers jeg befinder mig så meget i men jeg var ret glad for dette look. Er vild med de lange, lidt brede bukser og så synes jeg at track suit overdelen fra Résumé var alt for nice. Glæder mig allerede til jeg skal have mine chanel sandaler på igen til sommer. De er så smukke!
english: A shoutout to my scandinavian roots. The scandinavian style sector is not really a place I often navigate but I loved this look. I am so into the long and wide pants together with the tracksuit shirt from Résumé. I am already looking forward to summer so I can wear my chanel sandals again. They are just beautiful!
Jeg vi lige starte med at i talesætte hvor høj slidsen er på denne nederdel! Hold da kæft! Det er ikke for små børn og fulde borgere – eller hvad man nu siger? Den var ihvertfald høj. Elsker det fine farve spil i dette outfit og de små kitten heels. Det er 100% inspireret af Laura – det er jeg sikker på.
english: I would like to start of by commenting on how high the slit in this skirt is! Jesus christ! It’s not for kids or drunk people – is that how the saying goes? It’s high, thats for sure. I love the beautiful colors in this outfits and the kitten heels. It’s inspired by Laura, I’m sure. It must be!
Der er ikke noget som et dejligt simpelt sommer outfit. Om sommeren er jeg altid meget glad for en simpel farve palette – det er så dejligt roligt når alt rundt om en, i naturen, er så farverigt. Lyseblå er altid en stor favorit og jeg kan huske hvor glad jeg var for denne bluse på grund af den store flæse detalje foroven og den asymetriske form forneden. En lyseblå overdel behøver slet ikke være kedelig.
english: There is nothing like a simple summer outfit. During the summer months I am always loving a simple color pallet – it’s so nice and calm while the nature is blooming with color around you. Light blue is always a favorite of mine and I remember how much I loved this shirt because of it’s big frill detail on the top and it’s asymmetrical bottom. A light blue top doesn’t have to be a boring choice at all.

Nok mit yndlings look fra hele 2017 – jeg havde den her kjole på så meget at jeg synes det var helt hårdt når den skulle vaskes. Det var i Grækenland at jeg købte den og det var også i Grækenland at jeg “opdagede” denne meget slikket knold som jeg har gjort meget brug af siden da. Det er virkelig blevet mit “go-to” hår på dovne eller meget varme dage. Hvis jeg sådan skal opsummere mit 2017 (stilmæssigt) så vil det være dette outfit. Det er det jeg havde det aller bedst i.
english: This is probably my favorite look from all of 2017 – I wore this dress so much that I almost missed it when it needed a wash. I bought it in Greece. It was also in Greece that I “discovered” this hair-do. I totally fell in love with this sleek ballerina bun and I have used it a lot since. If I should do a style recap of 2017 this is what I would say defined it for me. This is what I felt best in.
Hej alle! Så er jeg tilbage med endnu et tutorial – det virker til i er glade for dem så jeg har besluttet mig for at være bedre til at få dem lavet! I dag vil jeg vise jer hvordan jeg laver min go to “low messy bun”. Det bliver rigtig hurtigt en meget fingernem frisure når man har prøvet det et par gange. Jeg bruger denne frisure både mandag morgen og til fest. Jeg har lavet en step by step guide nedenfor. God fornøjelse!
english: Hey everybody! I am back with yet another tutorial – it seems that you guys like theses so I have decided to do more of them. Today I wanna show you how I do my go to low messy bun. It quickly becomes a very easy hairdo once you have done it a couple of times. I wear my hair like this on mondays and to parties. It’s super versatile. I have made a step by step guide down below. Enjoy!
Prepping the hair is one of the most important steps when doing a hairdo. I always used to underestimate this step because “how important can it be?” – well as it turns out, quite. So for this look first what I do is I smooth the ends of my hair. I use Moroccan oil’s hydrating styling creme and just run my fingers over my hair. Second I use a grip spray also known as a dry shampoo. I LOVE using dry shampoo because it kinda gives you the option of molding your hair into place without the stiffness of hairspray. I lift the crown of my hair and spray it into the routs. Remember to let the product sit for a while before you continue. That way it’s easier to work with.
Step 2
Parting the hair
Products used:
See through hair ties / Asos (shop here)
Now this step you might not find totally necessary once you have the next step completely down but it’s good for beginners. Part your hair from just over your ears and up. I like to use these almost invisible hair ties, they are easy to use and really keeps the pony in place. If you havn’t tried them yet, please do, they will change your life.
Step 2
Roll and tug
Products used:
Hairpins
Now this part is a bit tricky to explain but I am going to give it a go anyway. So the key to the low bun is actually to create “a bun”. So what I like to do is start at the ends of my hair and using two hands, simply roll up. When you have a shape you like place two hairpins inside the roll, one on each side to hold it in place. You might need more than two, so just place them within the roll where you see fit. As long as it’s secure you are good to go on to the next step.
Step 3
Secure with hairclip
Hairclip / Pico (shop here)
Securing your chosen hairclip just over the top of the bun is how I like to do it. I like these large slender hairclips from Pico, they are easy to use and you can fit a lot of hair in them. Finish the look by pulling out random strands of hair and you are done. Don’t worry about it being too perfect. It’s not supposed to be.
