After a few days of adjustment to the wonderful city of Zagreb I have started feeling much more relaxed. I easily find my way – and more easily loose it:) At the end of the day, after exploring the city in this early Christmas atmosphere, I am filled with positive energy. My days are playful and time flies... I can say that I have found mu rythm and created my daily routines.

The main part of my morning routine is definitely skin care. After a cup of warm green tea and honey biscuits, with the view at the beautiful park, I begin my beauty rituals. I love taking care of my skin and for that I always take most of my time, effort and love... But I haven not always been this conscious about my choice of cosmetics... I rather took the easy way out and chose grand promises of questionable quality...

I love cosmetics very much, but I am time and time again astounded by the fact that our «skin is our biggest organ»... Unrightfully the skin, which is actually the mirror of our overall health, is not given the same importance as other organs of our body. I, as well, have behaved in that way until my skin started to «react». Actually it was saturated with artificial, heavy and sometimes harmful substances that are, sadly, the major part of conventional cosmetics. It is then that I decided that I do not want to make compromise between my health an beauty... luckily I did not have to do it anymore...

When my skin became irritated, red and dry I remembered my grandma... She used the home made St. Johns wort oil for all skin damages and irritations. I remember songs of praise about that magical oil that for fourty days absorbs the strenght of the dalmatian sun and draws the healing power of thousands of St. Johns Wort flowers... it is no wonder that even today the scent of this oil brings back my childhood memories...

The benefits of St. Johns wort oil are deeply woven into my memories about skin care... I was thrilled when I discovered the certified organic Alavi Recovery cream that besides the St. Johns Wort oil is rich in other soothing oils like Calendula, Tamanu and wonderful Aloe Vera.

My skin too has instantly recognized the richness of nature in this cream... After only two days the redness has dissapeared and so did the straining and the feeling of dryness. I love that it is a great day cream but also a wonderful part of my before sleep rituals.

After my morning beauty routine I contentedly put on some mascara, litte red lip stick, drop of my favourite parfume and I am ready for work and new adventures in the city.

P.S. Love your skin and give it the best of nature.
