Best of... LUSH

Lush, oh Lush... How I love it. There's so many reasons why Lush is my all time favourite when it comes to cosmetics. You can smell their shops from miles away, and when you finally get there, blinded by the colourful happy window, you enter a girly glitter unicorn dream. Not only their shops are as satisfying as chocolate, their cosmetics are organic, handmade and not tested on animals. Sit back and read about my Lush favourites.

First, let's talk about the Lemony Flutter. This buttery substance is meant to make your cuticles nice and soft, but believe me, it's a little miracle for every dry patch of skin. I massage it into my hands, feet and elbows before going to bed and wake up with a healthy and incredibly soft skin.

For my hair I love to use the R&B hairmoisturiser. This creme is basically a hair mask that you leave in. It smells amazing, like a creamy orange dessert. I squeeze it into my dry hair every morning resulting in me having loft, shiny and more voluminous locks.

Some people don't know this, but Lush has a line of fragrances too. When I bought the R&B hairmoisturiser for the first time, the shop assistant tipped me on adding some drops of perfume to the creme. She showed me Sun, a little perfume bottle that turned out to be filled with sunshine. It honestly smells like summer. She added some Sun-drops (ha, see what I did there ;)) to my hairmoisturiser and put it into my hair. Wow, this combination is AMAZING. Since both of the products have citrus scents, they fit together perfectly. Your hair smells lovely all day, giving you a ray of sunshine even at rainy times.

As you might have seen: I love citrus scents. Lemon, orange, tangerine, I cannot get enough of the sunny fizzyness. Fortunate that Lush seems to love it too!

When Life Hands You Lemons...

I have a little problem that buggers me and I think many of you can relate to it: not being able to be productive early in the morning. I'm the kind of person that likes to wake up without an alarm. This gives me the space to wake up peacefully, reflect on the dreams I had that night, and plan the day. However, as life is, we don't get the chance to wake up without alarm that often, resulting in me being a big bag of sand in the morning. I've been trying several options to have more energy in the morning: sleeping longer, waking up with a nice tune, not checking Instagram right away, etc. It all seemed to help little bits but now I have found something that has made significant changes. It's simply amazing: lemon water.

It's basically just lukewarm water with pressed lemon juice. I know, so simple! And its effects on my body are great. I drink a glass first thing in the morning, resulting in me feeling fresh, cheerful, and ready to start my morning routine. Besides waking you up, lemon juice is good for your digestion and skin. As many citrus fruits do, lemons contain a high amount of Vitamin C and we all know Vitamin C makes miracles happen when it comes to your immune system. The lemon juice will keep a cold or fever on a safe distance.

And not the least important: it tastes delishhhhh.

Reasons to Love Tame Impala.

Tame Impala. I have got some serious love in my body for those men. Their tunes do not only make me warm inside, they own the capability to make me feel dreamy, fierce, energized and relaxed at the same time. I get happy instantly when hearing one of their psychedelic melodies. Yet, there is a lot more to love about these aussie boys.

Number 1. This is a representation of what Tame Impala music does to you:

Number 2. Their album and single covers are amaaaazing            And LOOK, some of them even do THIS

Yeah, woah, I know right? Amazing. There's more:

Oh my god, such cool.


Number 3. This is their lead singer: Kevin Parker. He's really talented.

Does it gives you summer festival feels already?

This is him too.

And this is him on a cute couch.

Number 4. Kevin Parkers vision on music is on point. Quote:

Eh…. I feel like music will be free sooner or later, and I think I’m all for it. There’s all this talk of music needing a monetary value, this ownership of music, even that it needs a physical form. But intrinsically… it’s MUSIC, it should be better than that. Some of my most important musical experiences were from a burnt CD with songs my friend downloaded for me at a terrible digital quality… I didn’t care… it changed my life all the same. For me the value of music is the value you extract from it. You want to know a story? Up until recently, from all of Tame Impala’s record sales outside of Australia I had received…. zero dollars. Someone high up spent the money before it got to me. I may never get that money. Then Blackberry and some tequila brand or something put my song in an ad. Then I bought a house and set up a studio. I know what you’re thinking… “Wait so…when I bought an album I was helping some businessman pay for his mansion on an island somewhere, and when some dude bought a mobile phone he was helping to pay an artist? WHHHYY?” I’ll tell you why, IT’S MONEY. It doesn’t always go where you want it to go. It’s like a shopping trolley with a bung wheel. As far as I’m concerned the best thing you can do for an artist is LISTEN to the music…fall in love with it…….talk about it………get it however you can get it….Let the corporations pay for. This is just my brain rambling remember, I’m sure there are holes in my theories… for example I realize not everyone’s music is suited to a mobile phone ad, and it would be lame if artists tailored their music for that purpose.


Number 5. A third studio album "Currents" is on the way and will be released this year. As you might have guessed: I cannot wait.

If you don't know Tame Impala yet. Please, get to know them.
