What does your morning routine look like?
I have an almost four-year-old son, so he wakes me up in the morning. Then we make banana pancakes and a smoothie together in the kitchen. Then I like to take a Facial Icebath and get ready for the day. I'm lucky enough to live in the city, but work outside the city, so I have the best of both worlds. On my way to work, I either go for a walk in the woods or swim in a lake.
After that, I always prioritize some form of breath work. It's important for me to get the day off to a good start.
How do you best spend an hour in your own company?
It varies a bit depending on your mood and needs.
Sometimes a walk, other times I dance, do yin yoga or clean up :)
What is your best advice for showing self-love and prioritizing yourself in a busy everyday life?
Create good habits so that you do something self-loving every day. Think about how many hours in a day you do things for others. Create a good routine where you have put one thing in your calendar for yourself every day.
Then notice how self-loving it feels and what other good things it brings.
Have you made a decision in your life that has been particularly good for you?
Yes. I have taken care of myself and learned to speak up in a situation I initially thought I couldn't.
But then I did it and it changed my life for the better.
If you could give your younger self one piece of advice on how to create a balanced life, what would it be?
I still feel like I have so much to learn and at the same time there are also many things I am good at. But one piece of advice I would give to my younger self, but also to my current self is: everything will work out. You will find the way <3
Your best tip for a strong and healthy body and a balanced mind?
Move every day, do breath work and feed your body healthy and nutritious food.
Have you always had an interest in makeup and skincare?
Yes, as long as I can remember.
I had a lip balm when I was younger that I loved to put on because it made my lips shine beautifully :)
That's my first beauty memory and I was maybe 7 years old, I think.
Do you have an easy beauty tip that we can share with others?
Giving yourself a facial massage relaxes your muscles, and when your muscles are relaxed, you have fewer lines on your face. At the same time, it's an opportunity for self-love and calm, which is wonderful. I do it myself every night.
If you could freely choose an activity that would give you lots of energy, what would it be?
LOVE saunagus. It's the coolest. Wow - this is where my inner primal power comes into play.
