A Healthy Home Office | Dyson.

The majority of the past year I have spent in my home office. And I am sure most of you can relate. Since working so much from home, I realized how important a healthy work environment is. I have switched from sitting on the kitchen table to investing in a height-adjustable desk and a proper ergonomic chair. I sit right by the window so I get a least some kind of daylight in and I make sure to walk as much as possible in my breaks. 

One thing I haven't putten much thought into was the air quality in my office. Of course, I open the window every couple of hours. But we live on a very busy street in one of the biggest cities in Germany. So is that even a good idea? However, not only the air pollution was slowly a concern for me, but I also noticed my eyes getting irritated and my nose getting dry very quickly when I spend too much time at home. Our home has only recently been constructed and I learned that a lot of new buildings have a problem with their humidity levels as they tend to be too low. So I went on a mission to look for an air purifier, humidifier and if possible a fan, so I don't need to get another device once summer rolls around.

The Dyson Pure Humdify+Cool ticks all the boxes. And it is gorgeous to look at at the same time. 

I use it on a daily basis and it honestly changed the home office game for me! I can feel the air being so much healthier. My eyes and nose are very happy also. I can constantly monitor the air quality in my room with my phone and even get a notification on my apple watch when I need to refill the water in my humidifier (for me that is every couple of days or so). I can even control the device with my phone or iPad so I never have to look for the remote. So convenient!

I highly recommend looking into the air quality in your home, whether you work from home or not. It is so worth it!

Have you heard about the Dyson Humidify+Cool yet?

The Cashmere Gift Guide.

 *This post contains PR Samples

Even though I almost have all of the presents on my list sorted, I think there is always that one person that we want to get a present for but they seem like they already have everything. If this is also the case for you, I have good news: I might just have the perfect idea! Cashmere gifts are always such a luxurious option, that nobody can have enough of. And if you know where to look, you also don't need to break the bank!

I recently got the Everlane Cashmere Throw as a gift from me, to me. And omg I absolutely adore it. I mainly wear it as a scarf but there are so many other ways you can use this gorgeous piece. Before adding this to my collection I was already a huge fan of their cashmere turtleneck dresses. I have a grey and a green version and eyeing up the black right now. Their cashmere is such amazing quality and so soft. And the best part, their pieces are at an affordable price point compared to many other cashmere options out there. 

So if maybe you have someone you would like to gift a little bit of luxury?

How To Achieve That Holiday Glow.

*This post contains PR Samples

You probably know by now that I am a sucker for all the 'glowy' makeup products out there. However, at this time of the year, my addiction really peaks. Of course, the holiday season is all about glowy and beautiful looking makeup looks for me. So I thought today I would share with you my go-to products to achieve that holiday glow. 

The Powder

A powder and a glowy look might not seem to be the perfect pair. However, glowy foundations and concealer tend to not last very long on me so I always depend on finishing up my base products with a powder. At the same time, you don't want your powder to be too heavy and to take away from the products underneath. I recently discovered my new love, the Bobbi Brown Nude Finish Illuminating Powder. Honestly the best "barely there" powder I have ever come across. 

The Serum

I always think that your base is even more important than the foundation you use. I have been raving about the By Terry Cellularose Serums for ages. It gives you a gorgeous glow that doesn't look glittery or oily. I often even wear it on its own without any makeup on top. I have all three shades and choose them according to my mood and the look I want to go for. 

The Highlighter

How would this be a post about glowy makeup products when I wouldn't mention at least one highlighter? Exactly. My current obsession is the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess Highlighter in "Heatwave". Honestly such a beautiful and fine highlighter. But be warned, it is fine but potent. If I want a more subtle highlighter for every day I use the By Terry Compact Expert in Ivory Fair. 

What are your fave products for a holiday glow?
