Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.

– Robert Browning

Becoming a mother to my son Kingston was by far the best thing that has happened to me. He has given me and my husband so much joy. Our son was definitely a ‘wanted’ child. We planned to have a baby, and now our beloved baby boy is already 4 years old.

And now, ever since I started blogging full-time, I’m able to spend more time with Kingston. He’s growing up so fast – I’m well aware that one day my house will be quiet, my son will be grown, and I will be longing for the chaos. Times truly flies especially when you’re a working mother.

I once heard that if “you’re living in the same house as a baby, time moves slowly” but this certainly wasn’t the case for me. After my maternity leave I went back to work and time was anything but slow. I wanted to push the “pause” button so many times, and this my friends, is the real reason why I wanted to pursue blogging full-time. Not for fame, ego, etc. I wanted to work from home so, I can be with my son. As simple as that. Before I had a full-time corporate job, and my son had to go to a nanny. Even though we had the best nanny any parent could wish for it was very hard on me. There were times were I secretly cried at work because I missed my son.

I feel incredibly blessed to be Kingston’s mother. He’s my soul and heart. Motherhood truly is a gift from above. I’ve learned a lot these last four years but learning the true meaning of unconditional love was probably the most precious lesson I’ve learned and experienced. My love for Kingston has no beginning and no end. Always.

Who does’t want great looking skin? No matter how old you are it’s important to create a core regimen so, you can enjoy perfect skin your whole life. Orogold, is my preferred beauty brand when it comes to my daily skincare routine. I’ve been using Orogold’s 24K Tèrmica Collection which is known for its ability to reduce the appearance of deep facial expression lines. The collection consists of a serum, completion cream and energizing mask. This unique collection helps me achieve radiant, and fresh looking skin.

Tèrmica Activation Serum – I use this serum everyday (morning/night). The serum is super smooth and feels great on my skin. I usually apply a drop or two to cover my entire face.

Tèrmica Completion Cream – I only apply a thin later of the cream on my entire face. I love how my skin feels afterwards. It’s softer and fresher.

Tèrmica Energizing Mask – This mask truly works wonders on my skin. I use it once a week for the first month, and then monthly after. With the mask you don’t have to save. I tend to apply a generous amount over my entire face. I massage it thoroughtly into my skin until my face is covered with an even layer. I leave the mask on for about 10 minutes and then I rise it off. My skins feels so energized afterwards! I love it!

Happy Monday, and thanks so much for stopping by! Spring seems to be around the corner and I couldn’t be more excited! We had such a wonderful weekend and the weather was just perfect (we had almost 60 degrees which made me jump for joy!). You have to understand – when we got back from Europe almost 2 weeks ago we were greeted by heavy snow, and I can’t tell you enough how happy I am that it’s completely gone now. I’m not much of a winter person. The part of Germany I grew up in rarely had cold and snowy winters so, you can probably understand my struggle with Chicago winters.

Anyhow, let’s talk fashion, shall we? Today I’m wearing a banded crop top and comfy waist pants from Bebe. I’ve always been a fan of pairing a crop top with high-waisted pants – there’s something really chic about it without having to bare it all! So, get ready for spring and grab your favorite stomach-revealing tops and start mix and matching, or opt for matching sets! Either way you’ll be a show stopper!

As always, thanks much for reading & have a wonderful Monday!

Much love.

It’s trench time, well it was in Germany, not so much in Chicago right now. Nonetheless, I’m a huge fan of the classic trench coat. I could’t get more excited when I spot the first rays of sunshine that announce spring because it means: Take off your winter and grab your trench! The trench coat is the perfect jacket for spring – a closet staple for warmer days ahead.

What I love about the trench is that it’s completely irrelevant what I’m wearing underneath. The trench in itself always looks classy and sophisticated. On a different note: We took these pictures in less than 3 minutes, and I’m not exaggerating. My brother, my son and my husband where on our way to visit a friend of mine in Gelsenkirchen, and as we were driving I noticed this graffiti wall, and I told my brother to stop immediately (typical blogger moment, huh?!). However, as my husband started taking pictures our battery died. So, yes, 3 minutes. Sometimes all you need is 3 minutes.

Have you ever experienced something like this? As always, I would love to hear from you!

Thank you for reading, and as always, much love.

It’s no secret that during traveling your skin becomes dehydrated and dull. Coming from Chicago, and flying to Europe was somewhat of a climate change for us. We literally left freezing temps behind us and arrived in Europe in full on spring mode which can have an effect on your skin. Hence it’s super important to me that I take extra care of my skin while traveling. I make sure that I have a good skincare routine to combat dehydration while on the road. We traveled a lot while in Europe. We started in Paris, France and afterwards flew to Germany in which we traveled quite a bit as well.

I’ve been using Kristals Cosmetics during my entire trip in Europe, a brand known for its bio-energized formulas inspired by ancient and holistic traditions. I brought with me my RUBY Super Thermal Repair Mask, Facial Nourishing Cream and Facial Serum. The Thermal Repair Mask really did wonders to my skin – it’s unique self-heating system not only smoothed my deep lines but also encouraged my skin to renew itself. As it gently warms to the touch, the mask prepares your skin to absorb the powerful ruby g emstone’s strengthening and nourishing properties.

Adore Cosmetics

RUBY Super Facial Serum – I use this serum every day (morning/night). It helps halt and reverse the aging process using the famed ruby gemstone. The serum also contains jojoba seed oil, a rich and powerful skin emollient which made my skin wonderfully soft!

RUBY Super Facial Nourishing Cream – Just like the serum, I use the cream every day. I apply it in the morning to help hydrate my skin by binding moisture to my skin. To amplify ruby’s age-defying properties, Kristals Cosmetics infuse their cream with Hydroviton, which deeply hydrates dry skin. It really helps me seal in moisture for the day ahead!
