Jeg har aldrig været super glad for pink. Jeg har aldrig haft pink vægge på mit værelset eller pink kjoler da jeg var barn. Jeg har altid tænkt “pink er bare ikke min farve”. Men oh, Los Angeles – du får mig til at elske pink. Så mange smukke bygninger er pink, deres drinks er pink, deres himmel er pink. De smukkeste nuancer af fløjlsblød pink. I am in love. Det er vitterligt L.A i et suit. Jeg har taget det med hjemmefra fordi jeg tænkte det nok ville passe perfekt herovre. Og det gør det. Det får mig til at føle mig smuk, en vidunderlig egenskab at have hængende i sit skab. Shoutout til Mia for at have taget de her fede billeder, hun er vanvittig!

english: I never liked pink much. I never had pink in my room or pink outfits growing up. I always thought “pink is just not for me”. But oh, Los Angeles – you make me love pink. So many buildings are pink, the drinks are pink, the sky is pink. Just the softest shades of velvety pink. I am in love. This is literally L.A in a suit. I picked it out from home already thinking it would fit right in and it does. It just makes me feel beautiful. Shoutout to Mia for these awesome pictures, she is masterful.

THROUGH MY PHONE

Through my phone

1. A little sip followed by a big smile! 2. Vintage goodies at Melrose 3. Beautiful Mildred avenue in Venice

1. Mirror mirror in the hallway, all beige – I am a fan 2. The evening skies in L.A are to die for 3. Freckled Sally

1. Mia my Mia in the car 2. More evening skies over L.A 3. OOTD

Pictures taken with iPhone 7+

Siden jeg fik min nye telefon har jeg taget mange flere billeder end jeg plejer. Jeg plejede aldrig at tage min telefon frem for at tage billeder – egentlig fordi jeg altid har mit kamera med. Men kameraet i 7+’eren er så godt at jeg ikke behøver tage mit canon med mig alle steder. Tro mig det er stadig med men det er sååå tungt, det er rart bare at have sin telefon nogengange. Her er nogle snapshots fra de sidste par uger! God fornøjelse.

english: Since I got a new phone I have been taking way more pictures than I usually do. I never used to pull out my phone and click away – simply because I always bring my camera. But the camera in the 7+ is so good that I don’t have to take the canon with me everywhere. It’s still with me but not all the time, man it’s heavy. Here are some snapshots from the past couple of weeks! Enjoy.

FIRST IMPRESSION | TWISTED BY SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL

Beauty, Hair Talk, Youtube

VIDEO MADE IN COLLABORATION WITH
SEBASTIAN PROFESSIONAL

Twisted line here

Jeg har været så heldig at få lov at teste og tale om Sebastian Professional’s nye krølle serie, twisted, i min seneste youtube video. Det er en vigtig del af mit job at teste produkter og jeg føler mig meget priviligeret når jeg får lov til at dele mine oplevelser med jer. Hvis du er så heldig at være født med et sæt krøller ligesom jeg, ved du at vi igennem vores liv prøver et hav af produkter. Jeg er kun 24 og jeg føler allerede jeg har prøvet det hele! Vi prøver og prøver og venter på at de perfekte produkter dukker op så vi kan håndtere vores frizz, tørhed, få mere definition eller måske bare et produkt som kan holde på krøllerne. Problemerne er mange, men fat mod. Sebastian Professional’s nye linje, twisted, er baseret på Flexi Alg™ Complex. Nu tænker du “og det er?”. Bare rolig, jeg kommer til det. Sebastian Professional har besøgt det store dybe blå og fundet ud af at alger er super flexible og har en særlig evne til at holde på fugt. Deres nye technologi bygger derfor på alge ekstrakt som giver krøllerne ekstra bounce. I min nye video kan i se mit eget førstehånds indtryk af produkterne og se mig teste dem både på natur krøl og på krøller lavet med jern. Så fra en krølle bølle til en anden håber jeg du vil nyde videoen!

english: I have been so lucky to get the opportunity to test and talk about Sebastian Professional’s new curl series, twisted, in my latest youtube video. It is a part of my job to test products and I see it as a true privilege that I get to share my experiences with you. If you are so lucky to have been born with a curly mane like myself, you have probably searched far and wide for products to help with the many issues we face. The frizz, the hold, the dryness, the definition and omg I could go on forever. Therefore we (the curly haired people) also try out a lot of products during our life until we find what is perfect for our hair. Sebastian Professional’s new line, twisted, is made with Flexi Alg™ Complex. Now you are like, “and that is?”. Don’t worry I will fill you in. Sebastian Professional has visited the deep blue sea and discovered that algae is super flexible and capable of holding moisture in a way that is very unique. This new technology can help curls hold it’s bounce better than ever. In my latest video I film my very first impression of these new products and test them on both natural curls and curls made with an iron. So from one curly girly to another, I hope you will enjoy this video.

Jeg kan godt se nu, når jeg sidder med billederne, at jeg måske er en lille smule solbrændt. Jeg kunne egentlig have redigeret det væk men det er jo sådan jeg ser ud. Et styks hummer suppe. Jeg er bare glad for solen overhovedet er fremme. Ingen klager her! Mia og jeg har været ude og kigge efter locations til billeder siden vi kom. Men egentlig behøver man ikke kigge så meget. Der er et fedt sted at skyde lige rundt om hjørnet, over det hele. Byen er den ene fede væg efter den anden, LOVE! Forresten så var det her lille BBQ sted vi skød ved siden af proppet med mennesker. Vi må tage tilbage og prøve det! Men jeg skal altså slappe af med det der fedtet mad, det går jo ikke. Vel?

english: I realize now that I am a bit sunburned in these photos and I could have edited it away I guess. But thats just me you know? One piece of lobster ravioli. I am just happy that the sun is out. I am not complaining! Mia and I have been location hunting for pictures ever since we got here. Actually you don’t really need to go hunting, you just need to step outside your door. There is a place to shoot on every corner. Beautiful walls all over Los Angeles. BTW this little BBQ joint we shot next to was packed with people, must go back and try it! On constant food hunt these days, must not eat so much greasy food. Fingers crossed.

THIS IS PARADISE

Beauty

IN COLLABORATION WITH L’ORÉAL PARIS

Shop the Paradise Mascara by L’oréal Paris here

Hvis jeg er noget, så er jeg en mascara pige. Det har jeg altid været. Som i nok ved er mascara’s også et produkt jeg meget gerne tester og skriver om da jeg synes en god mascara er alpha og omega. Denne mascara har været plastret udover de sociale medier i noget tid nu. Det har irriteret mig sååå meget fordi jeg så gerne har villet have mine fingre i den så jeg kunne teste den. Altid gerne hurtigst muligt tak! Nu er den endelig tilgængelig i Danmark, så here we go! Første indtryk – YES jeg blev så glad da jeg så børsten. Jeg elsker lange børstehoveder, de arbejder bedst sammen med mine lange vipper. Næste stop, formularen – hvilket jo selvfølgelig er det vigtigste element i en god mascara. Jeg mener, man kan have lige så godt et børstehoved som man vil men hvis formularen er dårlig er det stadig en dårlig mascara. You know? Men også her kunne jeg klappe i mine små hænder! Den er silkeblød og glider nemt på vipperne, nærmest som smør. Formularen skaber en god længde på vipperne, ikke for meget men heller ikke for lidt. Den var nem at bygge op og de lange børste hår holdt fint vipperne fra hinanden også efter flere lag. Et styks glad Maria. En anden ting jeg gerne lige vil fremhæve er indpakningen. TAK L’oréal for ikke at lave en neon grøn og hot pink mascara – for det er virkelig nogengange svært at lave fint content med en mascara der ligner at Barbie og The Hulk har lavet et barn. Jeg elsker at den her mascara er lavet i rose gold. Så smuk! Stående bifald herfra!

english: If I am something, I am a mascara girl. Always have been. You probably know that mascara’s are something I especially like to test and write about because a good mascara is alpha and omega. Simply. This mascara has been all over social media for a while. Something that have annoyed me sooo much because it wasn’t available in Denmark until now so finally I got my hands on it. I have been so excited to try it! Very first impression – HAPPY with the brush. I like long bristles, they simply work best with my long lashes. No clumps please! Next comes to formula, which is obviously the most important. I mean, if the formula is bad the brush can’t save much you know? Again, I clapped my little hands. It’s silky smooth and glides on evenly and easy. The formula add’s a good length, not too much but not too little either. It was easily build on the lashes and the long bristles kept the lashes apart. Even after several layers. One happy Maria! Another thing I want to quickly applaud is the packaging. Thank you L’oréal for not making it neon green and hot pink – it’s simply impossible to make beautiful content with a product that looks like The Hulk and Barbie’s love child. I love the rosegold. It’s beautiful. Standing ovation.

TIP | THE MELROSE TRADING POST

Los Angeles, Tip, Travel

The Melrose trading post
Read more here

Nogen ting kommer før andre. Indrøm det nu bare, når man vender tilbage til et sted man har været mange gange er der en lille routine. Nogen ting man lige skal fordi ellers er det som om man ikke helt er tilbage endnu. Når jeg lander i L.A skal jeg altid have en glazed donut (gerne så hurtigt så muligt), besøge Griffith Observatory, se Santa Monica pier and aflægge visit på Melrose tranding post. Jeg tror mange som besøger L.A ved mange fine ting om byen men knap så mange kender til Melrose tradig post. Så jeg føler det er min pligt at oplyse jer om denne skat. Hver søndag, i regn eller solskind, bliver parkeringpladsen foran Fairfax highschool indtaget af utallige telte. Placeringen er genial, lige mellem Melrose og Fairfax avenue. Der er ikke et sejere sted du kunne befinde dig på en søndag. Smykker, musik, vintage tøj, møbler, mad – hvad end dit L.A hjerte begærer. Dette er hvor du finder det. Du kan også være heldig at spotte et par celebrities, de flakker ofte rundt her på en søndag! Det er også et genialt sted at shoppe vintage denim, aflagt militær tøj og über cool band t-shirts, du ved de helt originale. Det er en stor skattejagt med god udsigt til fangst hver gang. God fornøjelse!

english: First thing first. There’s always a few things that you just need to do when visiting a place you love. A routine if you will. When I return to L.A I always want a glazed donut (ASAP this one), visit Griffith Observatory, see the Santa Monica pier and go to the Melrose tranding post. Otherwise I simply don’t feel like I am really here yet. It has come to my attention that while many of you know many things about L.A, you don’t all know what the Melrose Trading post is. So I feel it is my duty to enlighten you. Every sunday, rain or shine, a huge flea market takes over the Fairfax high school parking lot. Located in between Fairfax and Melrose avenue it is the coolest place to be on a sunday. Jewelry, vintage clothing, furniture, food, music – everything L.A cool you can think of is probably there. Also if you are lucky, celebrity spotting is not uncommon at the market. It’s also a genius place to shop vintage denim, old military clothing (the real kind) and über cool band t-shirts. It’s one big treasure hunt! Enjoy!

JETLAG ASSIST | MASK ATTACK

Beauty

Pure clay anti blemish mask / L’oréal Paris (shop here), Wild rose mask / Korres (shop here), Nutritious radiant mask / Estée Lauder (shop here), Purifying mask / Kiehl’s (shop here), Cucumber tonic mask / Mario Badescu (shop here)

Location: Los Angeles

Jet lag er noget af det mærkeligste i verden, man vil sove hele tiden og man kan ikke sove. Why is that? At flyve er i forvejen virkelig hårdt for huden, man kan nærmest føle fugten flygte fra sit ansigt. Og så hjælper det ikke rigtig at man så ikke kan finde sin hvile bagefter. Derfor er jeg stor fan af masker! Det er jeg egentlig altid men de reder mig særligt efter en tur i luften. Jeg har samlet mine yndlings plus en forklaring på hvorfor, nedenfor. God fornøjelse.

english: Jet lag is one of the weirdest things in the world, you wan’t to sleep all the time but then you can’t. What’s up with that? To fly is really hard for the skin in the first place. I mean, you can almost feel the moisture just run away from your face. And so, it doesn’t really help when you can’t find your rest afterwards. Therefore, I am a huge fan of masks! Actually I am always a big fan of masks but especially when I have been in the air. I gathered my current favorites plus an explanation to why, below. Enjoy!

Pure clay anti blemish mask
L’oréal masks have always been some of my favorite but their newest release has made the top of my list. Not only do you look like a super hero when you put it on but it also does the job. Calming, curing and refreshing. I love it!
Mask by L’oréal Paris

Wild rose mask
The smell of roses always remind me of my grandmother. I adore this mask from Korres, it’s soft and soothing. I love masks that just melt into your skin and this one certainly does. It works best on me when I sleep with it and wash it off in the morning.
Mask by Korres

Nutritious radiant mask
This two step mask is pure wonder. Follow the instructions and go get great skin! It’s just wonderful.
Mask by Estée Lauder

Purifying mask
A mask that has been a favorite of mine since 2015. It’s a must have for me. It helps the skin fight pollution, calms it and smooths it. I sleep with it and have even mixed it in with my daily moisturizer for every day wear. It’s genius to apply makeup on top of actually. Try it!
Mask by Kiehl’s

Cucumber tonic mask
This mask is actually not for my skin type. I am dry and sensitive and this mask is more for combined and oily skin. But it stills works wonders for me. It minimizes the pores and the cucumber really cools the skin. An absolutely wonderful product.
Mask by Mario Badescu

I’M MOVING TO LOS ANGELES

Luggage / Delsey (shop here), Book / Joe Plumeri (shop here), Micellar water / L’oréal Paris (shop here), Handcreme / Balance me (shop here), Sneakers / Nike (shop here), Microphone / Røde (shop here), Salty fish / Katjes, Nailpolish / Ysl (shop here), Nailpolish / L’oréal Paris, Glasses / Asos (shop here), Eyemask / Diesel, Maintenance cleanse / Vitaviva (shop here), Mask / Clinique, Bracelet / Hérmes (shop here), Bag / Balenciaga

Er du gal det er en underlig titel at skrive. Jeg flytter faktisk til L.A – det er jo så vildt! I morgen, d. 5 september flytter jeg til den anden side af jorden og jeg kommer først hjem til jul. Jeg har ikke sagt meget om denne tur. Jeg tror ikke helt jeg har troet det selv. Men, here I am, nu er det tid. Jeg har fået en fantastisk mulighed for at arbejde med nogle spændende brands “over there” så jeg og en af mine absolut bedste veninder, Mia, rejser afsted. L.A giver mulighed for at komme lidt tættere på mine amerikanske læsere og skabe noget helt anderledes content end normalt. Det er ikke hver dag man får sådan en mulighed. Mia og jeg kommer til at få den bedste tid, jeg ved det bare, hun er solid gold! I morgen boarder jeg endnu engang et af de der über seje pink WOW fly, de har stadig de bedste priser! Sebastian og jeg fløj med dem til L.A i april og havde sådan en fed tur at jeg synes vi skulle flyve med dem igen! Læs mere om WOW her. 3 måneder er lang tid at være væk så jeg kommer selvfølgelig til at pakke en hel hel hel masse! Jeg vil ikke gennemgå det hele men dog lige gå over nogle af de ting jeg bestemt ikke kan leve uden. Først, ingen Maria uden behagelige sneakers, min micellar water fra L’oréal (for den findes ikke bedre) og selvfølgelig salte fisk! Vi snakkes venner!

english: Wow, that was such a weird title to write. I am actually moving to L.A – that’s so crazy! Tomorrow, the 5th of September I am moving to the other side of the earth and I won’t be home until Christmas. I have been keeping this from all of you for quite a while. I suppose I havn’t really believed it myself. But here I am telling you. It’s huge. I have gotten an amazing opportunity to work with some great brands abroad, so me and one of my absolute best friends, Mia, is going for the rest of 2017. This trip also gives me a chance to connect with my american readers and create new and exciting content, which I am really looking forward to. I can’t wait. Me and Mia are going to have the best time, I just know it – she is pure gold. Tomorrow I will once again be boarding one of those awesome pink WOW airplanes that I love, they still have the best prices! Sebastian and I flew with them to L.A in april and I loved the trip so much I wanted to fly with them again! Read more about WOW air here. 3 months is a long time to be away so of course I will be packing my ass off today – here is a little snapshot of what I will be bringing. I won’t name it all but a few things I can’t live without is comfy sneakers, my micellar water from L’oréal (it’s too good!) and of course salty fish candy. Talk soon friends!

BREAD AND BUTTER BY ZALANDO 2017

Events

BREAD AND BUTTER BY ZALANDO 2017

Endnu en dejlig weekend i Berlin er kommet til sin ende og jeg sidder atter i København ved mit skrivebord. Bread & Butter var intet mindre end en super fed oplevelse. Pulserende miljø, glade mennesker, fede aktiviteter, super cool brands og endnu federe shows. Jeg bliver ofte fascineret over de ting Zalando kan hive op af deres magiske hat og dette var blot endnu en til listen. Fredag var det Laura og jeg som hyggede rundt og lørdag fik vi selskab af Sebastian og Marc. Marc er en af mine bedste kammerater som fornylig er flyttet til Berlin så det var skønt at se ham igen. Vi så shows, hørte talks, spiste bao (2 gange for det ikke skal være løgn) og fik taget en masse fine billeder. Vidunderligt. Jeg håber i har nydt at følge med både her, på instagram og på story! Det har ihvertfald været skønt for mig at dele med jer! God søndag!

english: Another lovely weekend in Berlin has come to an end and here I am, once again in Copenhagen at my desk. Bread & Butter was nothing short of a great experience. Vibrant environment, happy people, awesome activities, super cool brands and even cooler shows. I am often fascinated by the things Zalando manage to pull out of their magic hat and this was just another for the list. Friday, it was just me and Laura going around and then Sebastian and Marc joined us on Saturday. Marc is one of my best friends who recently moved to Berlin so it was great seeing him again! We saw shows, listened to talks, ate bao (twice to be honest) and took tons of pictures. Just wonderful. I hope you enjoyed following my weekend both on the blog, on instagram and on story. It’s been fun sharing! Happy sunday!
