This week I joined the natural beauty brand Annemarie Börlind on a press trip to their head office and factory in Black Forest, Calw, close to Stuttgart in southwestern Germany, together with other bloggers and journalists. We stayed at Hotel Therme in the village Bad Teinach, a lovely hotel with thermal baths and a Annemarie Börlind spa. We also visited the Annemarie Börlind head office and factory and met the development department led by Guylaine Le Loarer, learning more about the philosophy behind the brand and their work in the development department. Here is some photos from the Annemarie Börlind SPA at Hotel Therme, the last day we all got a facial and suggested products for our skin type - but that's something I'm going to talk more about in another post only about beauty.

Well, I have ditched pure almond oil, that I've used for years, for Cleansing Oil Eye Makeup Remover from Organics by Sara. Magic! The best cleansing oil I've tried so far is Cleansing Oil Tea Tree from Organics by Sara. Even though I've only used Argan Night Serum from Marina Miracle for a few weeks, it's my absolute favorite serum, I use it a few times every week and always wake up with smooth, silky skin! My favorite mask is Antioxidant Mask from Kahina Giving Beauty, it can make your skin a bit red and sting a bit but as soon as you rinse it off you get a mini exfoliation and silky smooth skin.

Now when we have cleared that off , how hard isn't it to find work out clothes if you have a bigger size? but when I found out that Ellos has a wide range of work out clothes collar with zip and sleeves with thumbholes, all I need in a sweater really and then a pair of plain, flare pants that are my favorites. One of the most important things when working out clothes according to me, is a good sports bra and I can only say hallelujah to a sports bra with a front zipper, so easy to take off and on without any problems!

I purchased my first RMS Beauty product (the Un Cover Up) when the brand was first launched and then I have gradually added more RMS Beauty into my beauty shelf. I has a good coverage but the formula is a bit on the oily side, which means setting powder is necessary (setting powder is always necessary over concealer in my opinion) and that the Un Cover Up can be a bit tricky to get right with your foundation on your skin as well (meaning oils, creams, primers ect). It becomes like a silky smooth layer on the skin and works mattifying on the skin, make sure not to use too much, a little bit goes a long way. Living Luminizer is perhaps my ultimate favorite, it's a cream highlighter that gives a beautiful glow/sheen more on the natural side without any glitter, more a pearly glow.
