The 14th of November is World Diabetes Day. This post was written by one of my oldest friends, a fabulous woman and true warrior, Hanna Boëthius, a certified nutrition coach and expert on her own diabetes. Diabetes is an illness that has an immense impact on life. The sherocksabun pocket scarves recently found their way into the lives of diabetics, who always need to carry several items with them. One little accessory that can make life a tad easier. I want to make a difference in the world and so does Hanna, hence we teamed up to provide some further insights into the illness that millions of ..read more

As of 2012, October 11th has been marked as the Day of the Girl. It’s a movement by the United Nations, which promotes girl’s empowerment, the fulfilment of their human rights and highlights the challenges girls face worldwide. “We need to uphold the equal rights, voices and influence of girls in our families, communities and nations. Girls can be powerful agents of change, and nothing should keep them from participating fully in all areas of life.” — UN Secretary-General António Guterres The theme for 2019 is GirlForce: Unscripted and Unstoppable One of my all time favorite phrase ..read more

Empathy is perhaps one of the most valuable yet burdening traits of parenthood. According to research, highly empathetic parenting creates children who thrive, but parents who suffer. So where do you draw the line? How much empathy should you provide for your children? And what if you’ve crossed the line? Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. Some of us are more prone to it, others much less, just as with any other personality characteristic or trait. For me personally, it is one of the corner stones that shapes my entire being, a dominant trait ..read more

The silver lining, the good in even the toughest situations, can sometimes be hard to find. But it is worth searching for. Obviously life can be rough and sometimes there simply is nothing good in an event, but most daily setbacks can be conquered through the twist of an attitude. I like to think of myself as an optimist, striving for a positive outlook on matters whenever possible. It’s not always easy. My personal story hasn’t been all that glorious these past years, but there has still been so much good in so many things, that it would simply be unjust to say that my life sucks. Good thi ..read more

I’ve been an entrepreneur for six months. A grain of sand, a sneeze basically, but I did it. I passed my first milestone. If you’ve read my post on being a mompreneur, you already know that it hasn’t been just a simple journey. But how much I have learned! Half a year running my own business does not make me a connoisseur, quite the contrary – it makes me humble and open to admit there is still so much to learn. There have been a lot of things that I first presumed would be self-evident, but it doesn’t really work that way. I’m extremely proud that I took a leap of faith. It was a r ..read more

Strong women, men, people – they’re all necessary. They’re the ones that make things happen. The ones who face whirlwinds and stand strong. Withstand pressure, fall and get up again. Unbreakable? No. They too break and crumble. The difference is though, strong people don’t give up until the very end without first giving it their everything. And after that, they get up again and start over. So why do I place emphasis on strong women? Women have often been placed in the roll of the lesser gender since the beginning of time. Men have constantly been portrayed as warriors, the heroes, women ..read more

A mompreneur is a woman who combines motherhood and entrepreneurship, and makes it all look easy.. And it is – to some extent. It’s soon been six months since I ventured into entrepreneurship, so I’m still a genuine rooky, but I’ve learned quite a few valuable lessons during this little adventure. I’m a full-time single mother of three ladies, with the occasional help from the girls’ father, and a full-time work-from-home small business owner. Parenting, running the household and making an income are all on me. Motherhood is a demanding task; it’s tough and exhausting alongside being ex ..read more
