Well Being Essentials

Here are some of my favourite things which will make you happy(ier). 

1. Make yourself a Home Sweet Home

Nothing is more important than feeling well at home, and some tiny essentials can already change how comfortable you feel at home. For example...treat yourself with a scented candle of high quality. At Selfridges or Liberty they have a large selection of some nice candles. My favourite one is the Amber-scented candle from Diptyque. But also Jo Malone and Cire Trudon do some very lovely candles.

2. Treat yourself

High quality cosmetics, make-up and care products are the essential thing to make you feel better. Your skin will thank you, when you always check the list of ingredients of your products. Sometimes good products can be a bit of an investment (not always though), but it's so worth it! I am a big fan of natural skin care like Anne Marie Börlind. Paraben- and fragrance-free. And what really improves my mood, is a nice smelling soap, hand or body cream. I love the ones from L'Occitane, Aesop or Cowshed. 

3. Get a Good Night's (Beauty) Sleep

Everybody should sleep at least six to seven hours per night. Otherwise our body cannot function the way it should. We are less concentrated, more hungry and tired throughout the whole day. Furthermore the immune system and also the skin suffers from a sleeping deficiency. But not only the hours of sleep you get are important, also the quality of your sleep is essential. On the photo above are some small things, which will improve your good night's sleep

4. Eat Well and Work Out

Last but not least, eat well and work out. Eating well does not mean you need to stick to a strict diet, only low-carb or whatsoever. It basically just means to have a balanced diet. Eat enough veggies and fruits, some carbs and proteins. Do not stress your body by not giving it the energy it needs. And don't forget to treat yourself every now and then. Life is so boring without delicious sweets, frozen margaritas, pancakes, indulgent breakfast in bed or a yummy burger with french fries every now and then (80% healthy - 20 % indulgent). Get your balanced diet from superfoods like avocado, chia seeds or coconut. (here are some healthy snack recipes)

Speaking of indulgence....check out some new delicious photos of Roka, 202 and Granger & Co.

Sport should be included in your daily routine, even if it's just 20 minutes a day. Rather work out four times a week for a just a short time period instead of just once a week for hours. Combine cardio and strength training to improve your fitness level. For those who love running: run with motivating music, and download a Running App on your smartphone like Runtastic or the Nike-App to see results. (A nice sport outfit and good shoes are a must-have)
