weekend

How was your weekend? did you enjoyed the superbowl, or just had a fun weekend out?
Yesterday I had my birthday, and the best present was that my parents flew over.
We made our own birthday cake, I might not have been perfect to be worth for a picture but it was delicious. I just finished another piece of yesterdays cake, yummy.
I am oficially 30 now, and soon to be a mum, that i look very forward to.

How great are these glasses? Many times when you invite people you can´t remember where you left your drink. Now just by painting the base of the glass with chalkboard painting, you can write your name down and enjoy your glass for the rest of the evening.

Radiant skin

My dear friend Masha from the blog globalista wrote me an email, saying that she really liked a product that I have recommended her to use for her skin, and advised me to dedicate some posts about skincare.
Before doing what I do now, I was an esthetician. I have diploma´s in many treatments, especially natural ones. I was specialized and trained for the German brand Dr. Hauschka, which products are 99% natural and are still my most favorite.
I recommend the Dr Hauschka day oil to anyone that has a oily skin, acne or does have pimple breakouts sometimes. Many other brands have aggressive alcohol based products that strip out the natural barrier of your skin, Dr Hauschka is just the opposite, when having an oily/acne skin, clean face gently and add oil, so you help your skin not to produce more oil or acne and it calms down.
I would like to dedicate, maybe once a week a tip how to treat or take care of your skin with products that are great of with things you have in your house already.
A simple and great and inexpensive mask for your skin is very easily made with linseed.
It´s for all skin types and it will make your skin look radiant.
What do you need:
1. grinder
2. linseed
3. watercooker
4. cotton gauze
5. a bowl and a facial brush

Grind the linseed well, put in a bowl, add hot boiled water and let it rest for a while.
You will notice the grinded linseed turns in to a gel.
Wash face or exfoliate softly.
Cut out a round facial shape from the gauze, and cut out holes for the eyes and nose.
Make face wet warm with a damp towel and add the gauze.
Apply the linseed gel with the facial brush and rest for 15 min.
The gauze is for holding the linseed gel in place, if not it drips from your face and makes a mess.
After the 15 min take of gauze and linseed gel and softly rinse face.

Let me know how it went! I am blowing a kiss in the air to you x

nursery inspiration

This pretty boys nursey came from the house of turquoise and there are a few things similar with our nursery even without seeing these pictures before.



I liked the color combo of this nursery.
Hey did you knew that my belly is so big now, that I have to bend over to give mr. Beau a kiss...
I am loving the belly, will miss it when it´s gone, but also look forward to see Matteo´s face..

new DIY to do...

Here in Beau Lifestyle´s home there was a shirt crisis! Mr. Beau has broken 7 fine shirts in the last couple of weeks, right at the elbow he managed to tear his shirt or make a hole in the sleeve. I fixed the shirts by ironing elbow patches on to his shirts so he could wear them again, they were still to nice or too new to throw them away. now I have always liked elbow patches, especially seeing the above picture i think is very cute for a girls shirt. This is a little DIY i have to do for myself.

My O'verlays arrived!

I am as excited as i can be, today my O'verlays have arrived for the nursery!
They came well packed with a sweet note from Cheryl and Danika.


This weekend my parents are coming over to celebrate my birthday with me and I have asked the soon to be grandpa to finish the last little proyects in the nursery.


After that i can reveal the nursery to you and i must say it came together very well with a lot of mix and match modern with vintage things and DIY proyects.
I am still staying home, almost recovered from my illness, but still not on full strength.

To see more fretwork panels from O'verlays, click the button on the left in this blog, you'll be amazed about how easily you can transform any boring piece of furniture into a expensive looking designer piece.
