Lovely Day: Plants make you beautiful!

It’s a Lovely Day indeed. Lovely because today I want to talk about something I never talk about here on the blog. I talk about plants quite often here. But today I am not talking about how plants can enhance your home and make it more beautiful. But about how plants (or better said: plant essences) enhance your beauty! Yup, we are talking about a plant-based beauty routine. Totally natural, totally vegan, totally amazing! Meet Lovely Day!

Lovely Day is a young Berlin based label is specialized in natural products for your skin and hair. They use botanical essences, plant oils, fruit acids – but no synthetic ingredients, animal products, or perfumes and alcohol. The result is a wonderful range of vegan beauty products which are mild on the skin and effective when used.

I discovered Lovely Day rather by coincidence. Intrigued by the products, their mission, and the packaging design (hello marketing victim), I decided to order two products. I opted for the Hyaluron + Bloom hydration nectar and the Charcoal Manuka cleansing mask. The first treatments already convinced me: A super clean feeling and a fresh and radiant skin. The idea of finding the key to your skincare routine in plants really spoke to my heart and mind. Certainly as an Urban Jungle Blogger. We also featured more about Lovely Day on Urban Jungle Bloggers. Go and have a look!

Currently I am using the Skin Rescue potion which is perfect for dry winter skin. Also I am using a few drops of the Coco Gloss hair serum. Thumbs up for all the products so far! If you are into natural skincare products and vegan cosmetics, I strongly recommend a look at Lovely Day. You won’t be disappointed! Stay natural, stay beautiful!

Where Do You Store Your Dishes?

Country Living – David Hillegas Do you love to collect dishes? You might have seen in my “Life Lately on Instagram” post that I bought some new blue and white dishes. I’ve always collected mostly white, with the exception of some colorful mugs and salad or dessert sized plates. It is fun to have a new set […]

Difference Makes Us

On blogs, on social media, on streets – everyday we celebrate the differences that define us. We dress the way we like, we listen to the music we prefer, and we watch the movies we adore. And we dwell the way we like. Our home is yet another way to highlight and celebrate the differences that make us.

If you are a regular reader of Happy Interior Blog, you know my style. It is very personal, very mixed, and pretty bohemian. Sourcing adequate home accessories would be really difficult here in Munich. But luckily I am an avid traveler and bring back lots of found items from all around the world. And I shop online. One of my ever recurring shopping sources is Etsy. And Etsy celebrates the differences too – with their #DifferenceMakesUs campaign.

When I was asked to partake in their campaign and style my bedside table with Etsy finds, I was all game. And I decided to not only put together one nightstand styling, but three. All different, but all pretty personal. And each styling with found treasures from Etsy. So let’s roll.

The Airplant Jungle
The first styling absolutely speaks to my Urban Jungle Bloggers soul. Did you know that you can buy plants too on Etsy? Well, I found some wonderful airplants from the shop Till Herba Caeli. Finally I had an excuse to use a crazy mix of bowls and vases to hold the airplants.

The Archaeologist’s Nightstand
Oh my love for archaeology is unrivaled. I almost studied archaeology, but when I ended up studying international economics I decided to go to Greece for a year of studies. On Etsy I found a wonderful shop selling handmade replica of Greek ancient busts and artifacts. The head of Hygeia, the goddess of health, is the work of the seller GreekAncientCosmos.

The Bohemian Shrine
Crystals, dried flowers, scented candles – they all call my name. Instead of having all crystals scattered around, I looked for a nice way to display them. The solution is this bohemian wooden triangle shelf by LoveLifeWood. Additionally, I got my fingers on a wonderful handmade cup by LAccentNou (I saw the cup for the first time on JOELIX.com).

So what is the styling of your choice? Or better yet: What difference makes you?

Mountain Home Makeover

Hello! I don’t have a mountain home. I really wish I did, but one of my best friends has one! Not too long ago, my friend Sandy and her family moved to this popular mountain resort area in Oregon. They did an awesome job with a fairly quick and affordable makeover on their home (including the fireplace and kitchen, too!). […]

Made with Love: Handmade Ceramics

Handmade ceramics are a must in my home. I absolutely love handmade finishes with little imperfections. To me these represent the real beauty of a handmade ceramics piece. Or even more in general – the real beauty lies in imperfections. I have always been a strong believer of the Japanese wabi-sabi philosophy. This view is centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. Not to mention that every handmade piece is inevitably a one-of-a-kind piece. In celebration of the handmade movement I want to share four ceramics labels with you that caught my eye.

Knotwork LA
This LA based studio is the creative cosmos of Linda Hsiao and Kagan Taylor. They are specialized in ceramics and woodcarvings and their objects for the home are inspired by these natural materials as well as their adventures outdoors. I am absolutely in love with the latest collection of Tiki vases and tumblers. So playful and fun!

Heidi Anderson Ceramics
Heidi Anderson is a ceramicist from Los Angeles and her work is strongly influenced by the culture of the American southwest. She also draws inspiration from various folk cultures from around the world when creating her vases, planters, and sculptures. I love those beautiful totem sculptures!

Moss Keramik
Berlin based Moss Keramik has very whimsical twist to their ceramics. Mia Mueller, the creative mind behind Moss Keramik, creates fun mugs and planters that will entice a smile on every face. Funny little faces, quirky shapes, wabbly legs – every one-of-a-kind piece is a little cutie! By the way, you can chase Moss Keramik pieces on Etsy too.

Atelier Stella
Oldie but goldie: I have been an Atelier Stella fan for quite a long time now. I love the cheerful work of Stella Baggott. Stella is based in Brighton, England, and creates her iconic little face planters and vases that have become a real Instagram hit. Her online flash sales are impatiently awaited and her ceramics sell out in an instant. This little gambling slash shopping experience makes you appreciate your lucky loot even more. Trust me!

I hope you liked these four ceramics labels. I feel the itch of going on a handmade ceramics hunt now. Wish me luck!
