Happy weekend to you all!
This was a blog week not like any other else...In two days I was given two pepping awards from two of my own favourite blogs. First I got the Liebster award from Café Society XXI by the lovely inspirational writer Elsa de Diego. Don´t miss her blog, it´s addictive. The Liebster award is given by a blogger to up and coming blogger who have less than 200 followers. Liebster is German and means sweetest, kindest, nicest, dearest, beloved, lovely, kind, pleasant, valued, cute, endearing, and welcome. In order to accept this I have to answer the questions below. Which is good I thought... since this is not so much a personal blog about me, it´s more about life, about us, about inner and outer beauty. So with this in mind I figured this could be a chance to tell you a little more about myself...The day after that I got the award "I love your blog" from beautiful Swedish blogger Annika at Soul City Guide. Head over to her immediately for style inspiration and more. So a humble thank you to both of you! Ps! Just scroll down for the new nominees for the awards if you´re not interested:)
11 facts about myself...
I must always have olive oil, avocado,
chocolate and red wine as comfort food at home. Always.
I truly love healthy food. Sometimes I
truly love junk food. And cinnamon buns.
I am real girly girlie and still miss
Carrie and SATC.
My style icon is Carolyn Bessette
Kennedy, still.
My husband is my best friend and
greatest supporter since 13 years. He´s just an amazing person.
I went to Lund University and loved
every minute of it. Every minute.
I love my girlfriends. I feel truly
blessed to have so many great, loving, interesting, funny, inspiring,
beautiful friends in my life.
I love a good party. Always will. Why
be dull?
I have a beloved grandmother who is 100 years
old, still lives at home and keeps Champagne in the fridge. And she
meditates a lot. I think she´s on to something.
I´ve just joined Facebook...I know!
Words unnecessary...
I have three children and I´ve given
birth natural with and without epidural. Well, there´s a
difference...
I also need to answer these specifique questions from Elsa @ cafesocietyxxi for the Liebester Award:
Do you like to seduce or
being seduced?
A
mix of both, I think...
Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Aniston?

I
would buy a beautiful penthouse in New York or London, preferably
with a rooftop terrace. (hmm maybe the money is finished here?)
treat my family to very nice trips and give some of it away to
charity that I want to take part in actively together with my
children, and make a difference for a long time, not just write out
a check.
Do you have any beauty secret you want to share?
Do you have any beauty secret you want to share?
I
swear by Estée Lauder Advanced Nightrepair for face and eyes. It´s
the one thing that I´ve done religiously for the last seven years
and will never give it up. And, the eye serum cured my temporary eczema under the eyes in five days, which couldn´t be cured by hydrocortisone from the doctor...
What motivated you to create your own blog?
I love beauty and glamour and need it in my life. But I also need time to balance this up with some TLC for the soul and mind. That lead me to the concept of inner and outer beauty. I always try to live a fulfilled life, and for that I need both. Try taking one of them out...I didn´t read blogs at all before I got my third child, got an iPad and was stuck in the sofa for hours of breastfeeding. Then I found some favourite bloggers and realized what a great an easy tool blogging is. With this blog I sort of hope to inspire not only myself but anyone who is interested in the topics, e.g by interviewing interesting experts. I have many more plans for the blog so please stay tuned...(and thank you for reading!)
If you could have a super power, which one would that be?

I´m very loyal and love those that I love very
much. I also try to be a fun person. I want to stay young in the
mind and spirit as well. Some days I´m really good at seeing the magic in the little things in life. I´m also rather stubborn (being a Taurus...) which I think take me forward since I don´t give up easily.

For the nominees I have tried carefully to choose those blogs that are small and under 200 followers on Google. Although some of my choices don´t have Google Friend Connector but I thought they would fit in the category for Liebster award anyway. I hope no one disagree and that the purpose is to shine some light on smaller blogs with a great content!
And my nominees for the "Liebster Awards" are...
