Auf Duftreise mit Gallivant

Vermutlich ist es ganz gut – ein Wink des Schicksals sogar? –, dass ich meine hastig hingekritzelten Notizen während des Beauty-Dates mit Parfum-Experte Nick Steward trotz intensiver Suche nirgendwo finde. Einerseits, weil mir damit das mühsame Entziffern meiner süsslichen Schwärmereien («was für ein Schnügger! Ein echter Charmeur! Und dann trägt… Read More

Die Weleda Weihnachtskampagne steht unter dem Motto

Vielfalt als Geschenk

  Diversität. Das erste Mal habe ich vermutlich im Lateinunterricht davon gehört. Diversitas ist nämlich das lateinische Wort für Vielfalt oder eben Diversität, wie es auf Neudeutsch so schön heisst. Wobei an dieser Stelle vielleicht noch erwähnt werden sollte, dass ich das eben erst im Rahmen meiner Recherche von Wikipdia… Read More

Beauty-Recycling: DIY-Blumentöpfchen im Marmorlook mit Nagellack

Aktuell sind es genau 22 Stück. Nur noch 22 Stück, wie ich an dieser Stelle mit einem gewissen Stolz betonen möchte. Denn bis vor kurzem war meine Sammlung um einiges umfangreicher. Bis ich anfing auszumisten. Wobei Ausmisten im Grunde das falsche Wort ist, da die aussortierten Nagellacke nicht im Abfalleimer… Read More

Glücksmomente in Kalifornien

Felix ist gemäss Wörterbuch der lateinische Begriff für «glücklich», «beglückt», «vom Glück begünstigt» oder «glückselig». Und genau so fühlte ich mich während unseren Ferien in den USA, von wo wir vor einer guten Woche zurück gekehrt sind: Voll im Glück, weil wir einmal mehr so viel Schönes erlebt haben auf… Read More

Mit Hygge gegen den Jetlag

Auf die winterlichen Wetterverhältnisse in der Schweiz war ich gut vorbereitet.

Die Sache mit der Zeitverschiebung hingegen machte mir unerwartet zu schaffen. Oder besser: Meinem Magen, der offenbar immer… Read More

Rötungen im Gesicht gehören zu den häufigsten Haut Rötungen im Gesicht gehören zu den häufigsten Hautbeschwerden im Erwachsenenalter. Ich habe bei den Profis von @erborian_suisse gefragt, was wirklich dageben hilft. Das sind die Empfehlungen der Fachleute:
 
🟢  Was im Kunstunterricht galt, funktioniert auch im Gesicht: Grün neutralisiert Rot. Das CC Red Correct kaschiert mit grüner Tönung die Rötungen, beruhigt die Haut mit Panthenol und schützt sie mit LSF 30.
 
🌿  Centella Asiatica wird in der koreanischen Medizin seit Jahrhunderten bei Entzündungen eingesetzt, weil es die Hautbarriere stärkt und Reizungen beruhigt. Es bildet das pflegende Herzstück bei der neuen Centella Routine von Erborian, bestehend aus dem Red Serum mit Ectoin (vereinheitlicht den Teint) der Centella Crème mit Hyaluronsäure (spendet Feuchtigkeit) sowie die Barrier Cream mit Ceramiden (für intensive Regeneration).
 
🕶️ UV-Strahlung zählt zu den häufigsten Auslösern für Hautrötungen. Sonnenschutz täglich ist ein Must, denn: Die Haut vergisst nie und sie verzeiht nur selten.
 
🌶️ Scharfes Essen und Alkohol weiten die Blutgefässe und sorgen so für Rotbäckchen der ungebetenen Sorte.

Fragrances usually sit on shelves, waiting for som Fragrances usually sit on shelves, waiting for someone to pick them up. Guerlain decided they could do more and gave them a life of their own. 

The vision became reality with the new L’Art de Vivre collection, which brings the iconic Guerlinade accord, the house’s signature mix of vanilla, rose, bergamot, iris, jasmine and tonka bean, into home luxuries. 

I was lucky enough to explore it all in person at an exclusive event recently, and I can now confirm that the candles and soaps are just as enchanting as they sound. Experiencing them up close, it quickly became clear that Guerlain’s heritage is meant to be lived, not just admired.

As a beauty editor who reveres their 19th century legacy, I admire how the successors of the founders dusted off the archives to make daily indulgence feel like heirloom magic. Hats off to legends who keep raising the bar.

The runway called and I answered for the second ti The runway called and I answered for the second time at Soirée Textil by Swiss Textilrs. This year’s grand finale featured Swiss brands Pelikamo, Maison Miaki, and Solané, each unveiling their latest collections, giving me plenty of inspiration for my summer wardrobe. (Maison Miaki, I see you, and yes, I would totally wear this look).

Seeing so many familiar faces from the previous show made being backstage like a wonderful reunion. 

I am super grateful to the organizers , the brands, and the entire team who made this show possible. Their dedication and care turned a busy day into an unforgettable experience, and being part of it was a privilege I will never forget.

Swipe through for some unfiltered runway moments. Maybe you even spot a few pieces you did not know you needed until now, hihi...

Yesterday was officially Women’s Day but honestly, Yesterday was officially Women’s Day but honestly, I think every day should be about sisterhood. I am endlessly grateful for the women in my life who made me who I am. Each of them inspires me in ways I cannot even put into words and has made me the woman I am today.

Scrolling through these (sometimes very) old photos reminds me how lucky I am to carry their wisdom, laughter, and strength with me. It is wild how much unconditional love and guidance can be packed into a lifetime of women surrounding you.

The last few snapshots are from the event by @hergirlsclub.ch at @openride_ , specially organized to celebrate Women’s Day, and they feel like the perfect continuation of that gratitude. Seeing all these women together, sharing energy, stories, and joy, made me realize again that sisterhood is not just a feeling. It is alive, visible, and unstoppable when we come together.

Here is to all the great women who inspire us, hold us, challenge us, and make life so much brighter. Thank you for being part of my story.

BIAB manicures are trending, yes. But I started we BIAB manicures are trending, yes. But I started wearing them for a far less glamorous reason, to say the least... It all started because my nails were basically waving a white flag after a very bad manicure removal. Lesson learned the hard way.

When I asked the pros at @maqeessential.ch for help, they hooked me up with BIAB (Builder in a Bottle by @the_gelbottle_deutschland ), aka the strengthening layer that adds structure and shine without creating a heavy, bovious gel look. 

What surprised me most (apart from the extremely long-lasting effect) was how quickly the condition of my nails improved without me having to put in a lot of effort. Just consistency. Very unexciting, I know, but also very effective.

One year later, I’m still obsessed. Not because BIAB is the hottest trend. But because sometimes the most viral beauty secret is simply not destroying your nails.

February 2026 was a good month for the small thing February 2026 was a good month for the small things.There were beauty launches from brands I genuinely love. I went to new places and ticked something off my bucket list, which still feels a bit strange when I think about it. Oh, and spring  showed up earlier than expected (no complaints!).

1.&2. That denim inspired makeup collection feels like something I didn’t know I needed.
3. I thought I was bad at sketching. Turns out I just needed to try. Being back at school means learning something new again.
4. Hi spring. No backsies now, please. 
5. First time for me in this beautiful studio. Did slow resistance training for the first time. Felt it so much in every muscle. Ten minutes after the class I felt great for the whole day. 
6. & 7.  Two beauty launches that immediately earned permanent residency in my vanity kit.
8. ♥️
9. - 13. Snapshots from our short trip to Greece, including post Pilates happiness and a chocolate bar that looks like a younger me. Travel tips will follow.
14. Furry welcome commitee at home (who has a soft spot for cool bags).
15. No caption needed here. 
16. Swiss made liquid refresher in my bag, because spring walks deserve better than just water.
17. Finally joined the Sophie’s scarf fan club. Thanks to the girl who made it for me and convinced me I needed it.
18. Chez Mami & Papi. 
19. So true. 
20. Supplementing wisely is key.

First time in Athens, I was 12. Unaccompanied mino First time in Athens, I was 12.
Unaccompanied minor. Two-hour layover. Dangerous levels of confidence.
🛩️
I changed terminals like a pro, walked to the airport exit, looked up at the sky and thought: I could totally go see the Acropolis now.
🏛️
Twelve-year-old me was ready to conquer a world wonder between flights. No Google Maps. No roaming. Just vibes…
✨
For reasons I still can’t explain, I stayed. Best almost-mistake of my life.
🤓
Because the Acropolis of Athens stayed on my bucket list ever since.
This week, almost 35 years later, I finally stood up there for real.
🇬🇷
Some dreams just take the scenic route.
🗺️
What’s something you almost did once… and finally did it later?

Need some inspiration to read, watch and listen? H Need some inspiration to read, watch and listen? Here we go, lovelies (🇩🇪 version in full length is on sonrisa.ch, first pics by wonderful @wiebkembg )

📚 Meet Margot, a meteorologist who treats human behavior like a weather report: predictable, measurable, controllable. That is, until Henry, a single dad, blows her carefully charted life off course. I Know How This Ends by @holsmale mixes romcom humor, sharp observations, and clever twists to explore letting go, self-discovery, and life’s wonderfully unpredictable storms.
➡️ Quirky characters, unexpected twists, and friendship drama collide in this book. Anyone who adored About Time, The Wedding Date, or Smale’s Geek Girl series won’t want to miss it.

📺 After a brilliant first season and some weaker moments in between, I did not expect too much from season 4 of @TheMorningShow, but it pulled me straight back in with smart twists around AI, elections and media power. It feels sharp, urgent and uncomfortably close to reality in the best possible way.
➡️ Don’t skip this one if you want power, intrigue, and top-tier performances to keep you hooked.

🎤 Reducing @kristinabazan to her 2.4 million Instagram followers is convenient but misses so much the point: her latest single, „Mermaid Life,“ marks a powerful comeback, celebrating transformation, emotional depth, and reinvention after dark years, themes that resonate strongly with me personally. Musically and lyrically, the song is calm, clear, and utterly compelling, a statement of returning stronger and embracing change.
➡️ Recommended for anyone who appreciates thoughtful pop with emotional depth and a touch of self-empowerment.

If you need me, I’ll be here, casually romanticizi If you need me, I’ll be here, casually romanticizing the first weeks of February… (and of course I tagged all the brands for you on the pics) 

1.&2. Fourth session of Tattoo removal is in the books. So happy about the results (and the numbed, pain-free vibe).

3. Zero maintenance, full style: Silk flowers from this family brand are my latest decoration obsession.

4. Finally scored the perfect tights for long days and even got a discount of 10% for you with the code KATRIN10.

5. Still a fan of the viral Biab manicure from my favorite studio.

6. Hi from a secret beauty launch briefing and wow, great stuff is coming soon! Stay tuned.

7. Read the little message and you know why I just had to post this pic.

8. Yes lovelies, the hype about these new patches is legit. 

9. There were so many requests for my high-protein dessert, which is basically a mix of Skyr, fibers (flaxseeds, psyllium, chia, and hemp seeds), and berries.

10. Had so much fun creating content with our furry family member for a brand I’ve been a customer of for many years.

11. Got spoiled with the most amazing overnight kit. Lucky me!

12. Honored to be a guest of this podcast. Can’t wait to share the episode with you. 

13. Things escalated quickly at this beautiful store where you find lovely accessories for your inner goddess.

14. Did my biannual blood check at the best place for this. 

15. You know you have wonderful friends when they surprise you with a gift that’s the perfect match!

16. Art exhibition opening, but make it special: Discovered a super talented artist in a fabulous hotel. Make sure to follow both.

17. Boosting my immune system with a hint of spice and lots of taste, all coming from a local brand.

18. & 19. I hope your Galentine‘s Day was as unforgettable as mine. Never forget: love trumps everything.

20. Surround yourself with humans who bring joy to your soul. She’s one of them and I’m so happy to have her in my life!
