Hello from The Other Side of Spring
Today you can win a massage and a treatment
Hello my dear Internet Friends,
how is your week going? I am doing fine. I want to say it again…I think spring is finally coming but I also feel think I say this every week and then suddenly it’s like 3° Celsius again. So I will just stop and wait until it’s summer lol.
I am going to Naples in April for work and booked a beautiful hotel for an extra night - some friends recommended this place and it looks really great: Casa d’Anna ai Cristallini. I will report back! I would love to do a little Naples guide, but I won’t have the time: Still I am sure I will find some gems which I can share with you soon!
I was gifted an incredible massage this week from the amazing cosmetics institute MDC in Berlin. I really mean it when I say it was one of the best massages I ever had. During most massages, which I usually don’t get that often anyways (I always forget I can book one?) - I am always kind of tense because sometimes it hurts a little here and there but then think the pain is kind of good and my body needs to endure it, which in the end means I just don’t relax. But this week - wow, I did. I entered another world for 50 minutes. After I wrote Melanie Dal Canton, founder of MDC that this massage in fact had been from another world, she offered to raffle two treatments today for you. You can either get one glow treatment or one massage - if you want to win either, you just have to follow MDC on Instagram, make a comment under their latest post which of the treatments you would like to win and subscribe to my newsletter below (you don’t have to become a paying subscriber even though I would def appreciate that hehe) - tadaaa and you can be in heaven for a little bit.
I have restarted my meditation routine - I always forget how good it is. I sometimes have these periods where I meditate every morning - then I suddenly get lazy and start to forget, then I suddenly remember again, do more, love it, tell everyone….and then I stop. Then I remember again and this scenario repeats. In case you are trapped in this cycle too, here is your reminder that meditation is good - I just do headspace and Andy’s voice for 10-15 minutes every morning and it seriously makes my day so much better.
Below you can read about good things I saved, want to buy, read and watched.
Things I saved:
I save A LOT of inspiration all the time in thousands of folders - from visual or thematic inspiration to interesting people and inspiring creatives which I would love to book for future campaigns, from Instagram to Substack to magazines. Sharing a small excerpt below - if you want more you can book my services as a freelance consultant hehe.
Saw this video about Dieter Rams reacting to iconic interior designs from Frank Gehry to Ettore Sottsass:
This led me to finding this documentary by Gary Hustwit also on Dieter Rams which I want to watch: Rams is a documentary portrait of one of the most influential designers alive, and a rumination on consumerism, sustainability, and the future of design.
During my current research sourcing the creatives to work with for a campaign, I found so many great photographers whose work I adore and just want to work with them…I just love doing art buying and exchanging ideas with other talented creatives to create beautiful work together.
Things I want to buy:
Shorts: I am currently on the hunt for vintage Adidas silk shorts, but haven’t found the perfect ones yet…I think the dark-green below is good. I am envisioning wearing them with turquoise Paris Texas heels I got (see below), a camel-coloured, slightly oversize velour leather jacket (which I don’t have yet) and a cream-coloured Dior saddle bag. This is my perfect mom-outfit for summer I think!
I was thinking this jacket could be a good pairing with the shorts
