Vi bloggere er priviligeret, vi får lov at stikke vores fingre i alverdens cremer og tegne med alverdens lipliners. Men egentlig er det få produkter som får en permanent plads på vores hylder. Jeg elsker at prøve nye produkter men der er også nogen som jeg konsekvent vil blive ved med at købe igen og igen på trods af at der hele tiden dukker nye versioner op. De er bare de bedste for mig, længere er den ikke. Jeg vil ikke gennemgå alle disse produkter for jer, men lad os bare sige, der er en grund til at de er på disse billeder. God fornøjelse.

english: We bloggers are crazy privileged, we get to stick our fingers in every jar of cream and draw with every lipliner. But still it’s so few products that actually become a permanent part of our beauty shelf. I love trying new products but there are just some that I keep buying again and again even though new versions of it surface all the time. They are just the best ones for me. I won’t go through all the products, I just want to say that there is a reason that they made these photos. Enjoy.

I sommers, var jeg hjemme hos mine forældre i Silkeborg, hvor jeg så min lillebror Marcus rende rundt i den her t-shirt. Jeg blev straks irriteret, “han er slet ikke gammel nok til at have nice tøj endnu, han er kun 14?!”. Jeg pegede på ham, “trøje af nu, jeg skal have den med hjem” – god som han er gav han mig den og sagde jeg godt måtte låne den. Han er fanme så sød. Men helt ærlig, hvad sker der for at han er begyndt at have sejt tøj? Havde jeg sejt tøj da jeg var 14 år? Det mindes jeg ikke. Selvfølgelig da jeg var 14 gik jeg mest bare i ridetøj og boede halvt i en stald så måske det ikke kan sammenlignes. Men alligevel?! Det hjælper slet heller ikke på det at han ringede til mig for nogle uger siden for at spørge om jeg ville købe noget supreme med hjem til ham, altså helt ærlig? JEG synes supreme er nice, mig på 22 (okay 24). What is happening?! Heldigvis er vi nogenlunde samme størrelse (indtil videre). Always look on the bright side of life right? Jeg synes bare han var så sød da han var 3 år gammel og synes at alt i verden var mor og en lego klods. Nu har han seje t-shirts som jeg stjæler og jeg er på supreme jagt på hans vegne. Hvad sker der med tiden? Kys sendes til sej lillebror fra storesøster, måske du får den her t-shirt igen, ingen ved det.

english: This summer, when I went home to see my parents in Silkeborg, I saw my littlebrother running around in this t-shirt. I was instantly annoyed, “he is not old enough to have awesome clothes yet, he is 14?!”. I pointed at him, “shirt, off, now – I am taking it home!” – good as he is he gave it to me and said that I was welcome to borrow it. Seriously – why does he suddenly have cool clothes? Did I wear cool clothes when I was 14? I don’t recall. To be fair, when I was 14 all I wore was riders outfits because I basically lived in the stables so maybe it can’t be compared. But still?! It really doesn’t help at all either, that he called me a couple of weeks ago asking if I could buy him some supreme and take home. Like really? I, his sister of 22 (okay 24), think supreme is cool, what is happening? Luckily we are about the same size (so far). Always look on the bright side of life right? I just think that he was so cute when he was 3 and the coolest things in the world was mom and lego. Now he is wearing cool t-shirts, that I steal, and he asks me for supreme. Seriously, where does the time go? Kisses sent to my cool little brother from his big sister. I am not sure you will get this t-shirt back, time will tell.

MY TRUE MATCH

Beauty

IN COLLABORATION WITH L’ORÉAL PARIS

Da jeg var barn, var jeg så lys at jeg nærmest følte jeg mig gennemsigtig. Havde man lige smidt lidt lysebrune birkes i et stort glas letmælk kunne man få en idé om hvordan jeg ca så ud. Jeg var meget bevidst om at jeg havde andre farver. Jeg følte ikke at det gjorde mig noget som sådan men jeg følte mig meget anderledes end de andre børn. Mange tror at det kun er hårfarven som gør at rødhåret føler sig anderledes men det er lige så meget vores (nogengange) meget lyse hud. Min første foundation var alt for mørk, min næste var alt for lys og mange gange brød jeg mig ikke om at have foundation på fordi det fuldstændig fjernede mine fregner. Mange foundations senere, er der endelig blevet lavet en foundation der passer lige til mig. Faktisk ikke kun til mig, men til mange! L’oréal Paris’ ikoniske True Match foundation er netop gået fra at repræsentere 10 nuancer til hele 21. Det gør mig lykkelig inden i når et brand virkelig gør et forsøg på at omfavne alle. De lyse og de mørke, de gule og de røde. Der er en farve til alle. Jeg er selv farve nummer 3 W golden beige. Når jeg kommer hjem fra sol og sommer i Californien bliver jeg nok lidt lysere igen. Udover at repræsentere mange nuancer er True Match også baseret på en måde unik formular som gør at den ikke fjerner det som gør din hud unik. Den dækker kun lige tilpas og smelter ind i din egen hudfarve. For mit vedkommende betyder det at jeg ikke længere behøver optegne mine fregner, de forsvinder nemlig slet ikke. Der er ikke en rigtig måde at være smuk på. Det er noget vi selv definerer. God fornøjelse!

english: When I was a kid, I felt almost see-through. Skimmed milk and I had a disturbing resemblance. If you poured a glass of milk and threw in some brown poppy seeds you would have an idea of what I looked like. I was very aware that I had different colors from the other kids. Not that I felt it was a bad thing, but I felt very different. Many think that us gingers only feel different because of our hair but the (sometimes) very light color of our skin also plays a big role. My first foundation was way too dark, my second one was way too light and often I didn’t like wearing foundation because my freckles would disappear underneath it. Many foundations later, there has finally been made one that fits me just right. And not only me, but many others too! L’oréal Paris’ iconic True Match foundation has just been released in 11 new shades. Going from representing 10 nuances to now, 21. It makes me so happy when a brands makes an effort to embrace everyone. The light, the dark, the yellow, the red. There is a color for everyone. I myself is in the shade 3 W golden beige. I will probably go a bit lighter though, when I return from the sunshine state. Besides representing various shades, True Match is also formulated in a way that makes it not “mask away” your imperfections but lets your own skin shine through. To me that means that I don’t have to mark up my freckles after applying. The foundation won’t take them away from me. There is no right way to be beautiful. We define what beauty is. Enjoy!

TIP | MALIBU FARM

Los Angeles, Tip, Travel

Malibu Farm
23000 Pacific Coast Hwy
Malibu, CA 90265

Der er mange mennesker i mit liv jeg godt kunne tænke mig at vise dette fantastiske sted til. Hver gang jeg besøger det kommer jeg i tanker om endnu en person som ville elske det. Derfor synes jeg dette er (endnu) et godt sted at lave et lille tip om. Den seneste jeg tog med ud til Malibu Farm var min dejlige storebror Frederik som besøgte mig i forrige uge. Han synes også det var et skønt sted. Malibu farm ligger på “the Malibu pier” – altså på en af de mange berømte piers som ligger langs kysten. Det var faktisk Mia som viste mig stedet. Jeg var aldrig selv gået derind. Ikke fordi det ikke ser dejligt ud (for det gør det) men fordi at de fleste restauranter som ligger på pier’s normalt er turistfælder og hverken særligt lækre eller særligt prisvenlige. Det er jo desværre ofte “prisen” man må betale for at spise tæt ved vandet, med mindre man ved lige præcis hvor man skal gå hen. MEN dette sted er ikke reglen men undtagelsen (til den som lige forstod min “he is just not that into you” reference, du er for sej!). Malibu Farm er drevet af en yndig dame, hun hedder Helene og er til at finde rundt omkring på stedet. Malibu Farm er drevet kun af lokale penge og kræfter og kvaliteten af maden er helt i top. Man kan læse sig til hvor alt du putter i munden er fra og det i sig selv, synes jeg er rimelig fantastisk. Folk surfer på begge sider af pieren og du kan høre bølgerne slå ind mod træ pælene under dig mens du spiser. Denne lille lokale perle fanger den stemning Californien er så kendt for og er helt sikkert et besøg (eller 2) værd.

english: There are many people in my life I would love to show this amazing place to. Every time I visit it, I always think of someone new to take and yet another person I know who would love it. That’s why this place is (also) worth making a little tip about. The latest person I brought to Malibu Farm was my awesome older brother Frederik who visited me a couple of weeks ago. He was quite smitten too. Malibu farm is located at the Malibu pier. It was actually Mia who showed me the place. I had never entered it myself. Not because it doesn’t look lovely (because it does) but because most restaurants located on piers are turist traps that are both not very delicious (food vise) or very price friendly. But that unfortunately is often the price you must pay to eat close to water, unless you know exactly where to go. But this place is not the rule but the exception (to whoever got the “he is just not that into you” reference in there, I salute you). Malibu Farm is run by a lovely lady named Helene who you will see around the place. It’s run by local hands and money and you can read where everything you eat is from. Which I think is pretty spectacular. People are surfing on both sides of the pier and you can hear the waves underneath you as they run through the wooden structure of the pier. This little local treasure really captures that famous “california vibe” that everybody comes here to experience. It’s definitely worth a visit (or two).

Alle os der kommer fra Danmark. Er vi ikke alle børn af havet? Selv hvis du ikke er vokset op ved havet, er du stadig vokset op ved havet. Jeg har altid været meget bevidst om at jeg har haft havet omkring mig og jeg er endda fra “indlands”. Kan man overhovedet sige det i Danmark? Jeg var alligevel kun 30 minutter fra hav selvom jeg et opvokset i midtjylland. Mange vil betegne det som at bo ved vandet i andre lande. I L.A giver det ingen mening for mig at bo ved vandet. Trafikken er alt for slem fra vandet ind mod byen og det ville tage mig over en time at komme ca 20 km når jeg skal til møder osv. Man kan bruge halvdelen af sit liv i en bil i den her by. Derfor elsker jeg at tage ud til vandet i weekenden. Der er færre biler på vejene om søndagen så det føles ligepludselig ikke så uoverskueligt. Malibu er favorit destinationen lige nu, den kan noget helt særligt. Stay tuned for nogle fine Malibu tips snart her på bloggen!

english: Everybody from Denmark is children of the sea. That’s how I see it anyway. If you are danish, even if you didn’t grow up by the ocean – you still grew up by the ocean. Does that make sense? I have always been very aware that I have been surrounded by water and I am actually from “in country”. Is that even a term in Denmark? Being “in country”? I was only 30 minutes from the sea even though I grew up in the middle part of Jutland. Many people will see that as living by the sea. In L.A it makes no sense for me to live by the sea. The traffic is way to bad from the water towards the city. A simple 20 km can take over an hour to drive. You could use half of your life in a car in this city. But I love running towards the water on the weekends. There are fewer cars on the road on Sundays so it feels way more manageable. Malibu is a true favorite destination of mine these days, it’s really something special. Stay tuned for Malibu tips on the blog soon.
