Packing a suitcase is usually a game of picking favorites. You can come, I like you. Nah you need to stay home – not important enough. The limitation of space and weight is a challenge to focus on the necessary vs. the obligatory dusk collectors on the shelf. This is especially true when it comes…
If you have been reading this blog for longer than five minutes, you will probably know that I am all about a natural approach when it comes to my daily make-up routine. I don’t like to spend the majority of my morning in the bathroom (I’d rather be munching on breakfast instead) and I don’t…
Ironically enough, I am long overdue for a visit at the hair dresser, yet I am typing away on a post about hair care. My cut is 5-months outgrown and I could seriously use a trim, and still, I have received more questions about my current hair care favorites than combined in the last year….
If you’ve been anywhere near the same accounts I personally like to follow on Instagram, you’ve probably come across the famous #SturmGLOW. A what glow? I am a sucker for all things glowing, hydrating or dewy-looking, since my skin has always been the exact opposite: dry. That being said, a lot of girls (read: a…
In the past, when someone asked me where I find my inspiration, my answer usually didn’t take much thought: travels. Even though the quote “to travel is to live” really speaks to me personally on many levels, lately I have come to realize that “to be home is to live” is also very true for…

Summer does not only bring a change in wardrobe, it also delivers a subtle adjustment in my go-to beauty products. With sun and heat on the daily, I replace eyeshadows with tanning products, lipstick with my favorite lip balm and stay cool with a spritz of Eau de Beauté. I resort to products that are…
A beauty routine is something highly personal. There is no one-fit-for-all or set rules to go by. Instead, it usually requires years of trial and error – especially if you have sensitive or problematic skin – to find a routine and products that have the effect they are supposed to. In my late teens and…
I have always considered myself a long-hair-type. Not only do I have really thick hair that needs a bit of length to be weighed down, but I also find my face rather “round” (personal perception, I know…) and figured a bit of length would help. Then, a few months ago, my best friend decided to…
