Occupational habit: I test (almost) everything. Occupational habit: I test (almost) everything. 

Tonight’s subject: an evening on my own aka me-time.

Accesories: Some snacks, a magazine and a glass of Murailles 0.0%, made by the traditional method and gently dealcoholised. Alcohol-free, as always, because that’s how I like my bubbles. 🫧🥂
 
Result: repeat. 

Note from the beauty desk: alcohol tends to disturb sleep in the second half of the night, so this one also passes the morning mirror test.

Flipping through an old photo album is a great way Flipping through an old photo album is a great way to humble yourself real quick, mostly because of the haircuts. Nothing fixes that, and honestly, that’s fine.

When it comes to my skin though, I’d totally take a slight rewind. Luckily, NUXE’s researchers got this memo, which is presumably how Super Serum [10] Longevity happened: ten actions in one bottle, aimed at correcting what’s already visible and delaying what isn’t yet, based on a Marine Postbiotic Extract that’s new to the formula. 

To round out the same routine, @nuxesuisse recommends pairing the serum with the Nuxuriance Ultra Cream that was designed to revitalise, renew and resurface the skin.

The hair’s staying in the album. The skin gets the update.

Retinol: Für die einen ist es der Goldstandard mod Retinol: Für die einen ist es der Goldstandard moderner Hautpflege, für die anderen ein Wirkstoff, der zu stark ist oder einfach überschätzt wird.

Um der Sache auf den Grund zu gehen, habe ich am Lancierungsanlass des neuen Retinol-Serums von @louiswidmerofficial die anwesenden Profis um ihre Einschätzung gebeten. Dabei wurde sehr schnell klar, dass sich bei Retinol eine differenzierte Betrachtung lohnt.
Meine wichtigsten Erkenntnisse:
 
✨Langsam starten lohnt sich. Die Haut braucht Zeit, um sich an Retinol zu gewöhnen.
 
✨ Geduld gehört zur Routine. Retinol wirkt nicht über Nacht, sondern langfristig.
 
✨ Die Hautpflege mit Retinol endet nicht mit dem Abendritual. Täglicher UV-Schutz (am besten mit SPF 50) ist ein Must.

✨ Antioxidantien können die Haut zusätzlich vor oxidativem Stress schützen. Die Formel des neuen Retinol-Serums von Louis Widmer enthält darum auch Astaxanthin.

Mit anderen Worten: Bei Retinol geht es nicht um ein pauschales Dafür oder Dagegen, sondern um einen verantwortungsvollen Umgang damit.

My first surfing lesson with wonderful @jagfarrah My first surfing lesson with wonderful @jagfarrah taught me something I probably should have known already.

I fell. A lot. I tried again. Fell again. Tried another way. And kept going because, honestly, it was so much fun.

It got me thinking about the last few months, maybe even the last few years. I’ve tried new things, failed at some of them, changed direction and found completely different ways of doing things.

Meanwhile, there has been this little voice in my head telling me that I’m a loser because I haven’t succeeded in the way I thought I was supposed to. The traditional way. The way that makes everything look nicely figured out from the outside.

Today, I realised, that there isn’t one way to get somewhere. There isn’t one way to build a life that makes you happy. 

So maybe we could be a little kinder to ourselves while figuring it out.

In any way, it’s never too late to be a beginner.

I still can’t surf. But I am so very happy I tried. And just for the record: I stood on this board for several times 😊

I lost track of time in a museum. That does not ha I lost track of time in a museum. That does not happen very often to say the least (I get very quickly overstimulated).

The new David Geffen Galleries at LACMA, designed by Peter Zumthor, are amazing, fascinating and incredibly spacious. I was completely taken by the magic of the Californian light and by how much the architecture changes the way you experience the art.

There was far too much to take in during one visit, even for humans with a perfectly respectable attention span. Still, it was one of those places where I could have stayed longer because the energy was absolutely fabulous!

And standing above Wilshire looking down at LA was pretty special.

Ps: The Erewhon coffee afterwards was also a good call. Not ashamed to admit this!

Wellness is easy to turn into a list. Move more. Wellness is easy to turn into a list.

Move more. Sleep better. Eat well. Meditate. Take time for yourself. Repeat.

I’m all for it. Pilates has made me feel stronger, my morning routine gives my day a lovely start, and I’m grateful that I have the time and opportunity to do these things.

But I think there’s something missing from the list: kindness.

Kindness towards yourself when you don’t manage the routine. Kindness towards your body. Kindness towards other people.

And a little perspective about the privilege that comes with having access to so many forms of self-care.

That feels like wellness too.

A huge thank to @thewell for this amazing event - perfectly organized by @nous_synergy ! -where it was all about wellness and kindness and amazing brands like @duetteofficial (check it all out, you can thank me later).
