Bikini mood

Ok, its finally here - summer! Many panic cause now they have to go to the beach and show themselves in a bikini and oops, my stomach doesn't look flat, my thighs are frumpy and the ass is just so low close to the ground… AND they start to run to the gym or go on some trendy diet who says you can loose 5 kilos in 1 day and such crap!

In my life I´ve been on every single diet there is! Low carb, high fat, no carbs at all, weight watchers and whatever. Yeah, I believe most women have done a diet in their lives.

I have also had 3 kids and two in a short period of time and well, that make the body change. I am also soon to be 44 years old and my female body changes since over 40 the hormone called estrogen is lower and that make women have a harder time to loose weight. 

I have quit dieting and eat good nowadays and the only thing I have done to change my food is to exclude gluten and sugar. Why I´ve quit these things is not due to loose fat, but since sugar and gluten is loved by cancer cells and feed on them. Since I have higher risk of many cancer genes in my family I took this decision cause I want to get old and see my children grow old too=)

I have also done cross fit for 1.5 year now and it sure have made wonders for my body! Even if I don't have time to go there every day 2-3 times a week keep my body fit and make me build muscles and even - listen up - get stomach muscles that shows!! After 3 kids!! And in my age=)

So if you feel stressed over your bikini body, go to the gym! Preferably cross fit or do as I did this morning - work out at home with some kettle bells, a jump rope, a bar with weights. 
ANY exercise at a HIGH intensity, which means you have to go to at least 80 % of your max in everything you do and lift weights will give results!

IF you want help to get in shape I can give exercising advices and food advices for a small fee. Send me an email if you are interested: pippioncrack@hotmail.com

Love,
Anette

Feel the rhythm of the ocean

Oh how I love to hear the ocean roar, its something I will always get new energy and power from so today when me and the boys decided to go with our car to the next city called ÄNGELHOLM where I always spent my summers bathing being a kid, made me feel so revived after some stressful days.

Had my last day and exam in school today and now one less stress thing to focus on for a while=)

Picks from & OTHER STORIES

I´m going to Copenhagen on friday to leave some stuff at the luxury vintage store I sell through there and then I always need to check out my favourite store we don't have where I live 
and here´s the stuff I want to look at and maybe get back home with me=)


The silver and gold bag are both reversible so really practical and I LOVE sliver and gold at the moment. 

I want some pinky lips, cheeks for my face and why not a pink colorful clutch to wear this summer?

Yellow-my favorite color at the moment need to be my nail polish this month

A warm pink knit is needed since summer still isn't warm here in Sweden. I´ll team it up with a pair of jeans and the sandals in silver and blue. How cool they are!

Take away the blue and dark under the eyes

Today I want to share my make up tip with you when it comes to having dark under the eyes, a bit of blue under the eyes or next to the nose.

Since red takes away blue tones I use a red lipstick after my primer and day cream. I take the lip stick and dot under the eye and next to the nose first


Then I pat gently with my fingers


At last I take a concealer and pat into the skin gently


Voila! So much more color, freshness and younger look=)
