If you could bottle up the sweet scent of the tiny dimples in their cheeks, their chubby hands and feet: then you would get 'Eau de Zwitsal'. Zwitsal is a familiar baby brand in the Netherlands. All Dutchies will instantly know how this smells like. 

Zwitsal was founded in 1928 by a Dutch pharmacist student that took an internship at a Swiss pharmacy.
His first product was 'Zwitserse Balsam', that was mainly used for babies. After taking notice of that, he expended his line with baby powder, oil and more.

You could say that a lot of generations were bathed with products from Zwitsal, myself included. 
This scent represents my early childhood. Whenever I smell this perfume, it zaps me back to the time when I was a little child. 

When I was a teenager, I had a holiday job at the maternity ward in the hospital. The whole ward smelled like Zwitsal. It is a soft, soapy, powdery scent that I continued to use for myself as well, because I love the scent so much. Whenever I had to clean my makeup brushes, I would use Zwitsal Baby Shampoo. 

The excitement was real when I found out that there was a perfume from Zwitsal! A friend of mine gifted me the perfume. 

It is pure childhood in a bottle.

Do you know the brand Zwitsal?

Tourist Simone strikes again! This time it is the beautiful island Mainau at the Bodensee.
It is no secret that my family and I LOVE the Bodensee (Lake of Constance). Whenever we have friends and family visiting, we take them to see the Bodensee. It is a given.
You will probably see many more Bodensee posts in the time to come. 

Our last trip was to the beautiful flower island, Mainau. The trip started of with a bit of a scare...
The first stop that we planned, was at the monastery Birnau. We were only there for about 5 minutes, until we found out that Oliver had a nasty tick bite.... So our next stop was to find a pharmacy for tick tweezers.... on a Sunday. Do you think we found one?

You guessed right, we were unsuccessful. Oli had to play doctor on himself. He brutally removed the little f*cker with his bare hands. If you have ever had a tick, or your pet, you know the hustle. I never had one so far... Knock on wood.

He probably got the tick during a family hike in the fields we had the day before, even though he was the only one that was properly dressed for a hike in the fields filled with ticks. 
Whenever you go out in the fields (high grass), always wear long trousers, closed shoes and socks. Make sure that you don't have any exposed skin. 
We live in a red zone, and have a much higher risk to get in contact with these little monsters.

After we took care of our hangriness, we proceeded to board a ship from Meersburg to the Mainau island. We were so lucky with the weather! So far it has been a weird summer. Whenever the sun shines, the days feel so carefree and light. Just like when we were children. The sun is magical.

About 10.000 steps later, it was time to board the ship again to return to the mainland. 
As I walked down the bridge and took out my tickets for our way back, one of the three tickets flew into the water..... I took a photo of it, so that I could show it to the captain and that I didn't make up the lamest excuse ever for not having a ticket. He must have heard that story many times before.... I was preparing myself to buy an extra ticket.

But then..... a lovely man in a kayak came right towards us. There were no other people in the water, with the exception of our ship and the man in the kayak. I tried to tell him that I dropped my ticket, and at first he didn't seem interested or couldn't understand what I was saying. 

He was coming right towards where my ticket was floating. He then took his paddle, picked up my ticket and handed it over to me. I was so grateful and astonished that our paths crossed just at the right time. That was like one in a million....

We arrived home around midnight and found out that Oli had another tick haha.... The tick circle was complete...

Do any of you have been bitten by a tick?

Wow! ΩMEGA ALIVE has received so much heartwarming positive feedback! We are all on cloud nine!
To celebrate this huge success, I recreated one of the makeup looks that I wore during the stream.

I created a more muted down look with two key products: a white and a black liner. This is so easy and fun to create!

There is a little Makeup give away as well. Recreate the look in any color that you like, it doesn't have to be black and white ;) 

* Recreate a double liner look and use the hashtags #simonesimonsmakeupmonday #simonesimonsxloreal
* Like and comment my post: ΩMEGA MAKEUP

If you haven't seen the ΩMEGA ALIVE yet, you are missing out ;)

The show will be available for replay until June 15 at 11:59 PM ET.

Time for another give away! L'Oréal Paris has created a beautiful limited edition collection together with the Lebanese designer Elie Saab. They were very generous and have given me two makeup sets to give away on the blog!

The other prize is an authentic Elie Saab bag!!! If you want to have a chance of winning this, then head over the Makeup Monday IGTV and leave a comment there as well.

All you have to do in order to win on of the two makeup bags with the whole collection in it is: Tell me which lipstick you prefer to the look that I have created: the red or the nude lipstick.

Good luck everyone!

*The products that you see in the photos are my own. The two makeup kits in the give away are untouched ;)

Yesterday, May 9th was officially 'Mother's Day'. 
I deliberately wanted to write a blogpost the day after ;) Today is also 'Mother's Day'. Tomorrow and the days after that will also be Mother's Day, just as every day is Father's Day.

That doesn't mean that I don't love to get a little bit more TLC  on the 'official' day. 
Vincent made me a sweet drawing, which I posted on Instagram Stories. Oliver made a nice brunch that was waiting for me after my weekly Yoga session. 

While I was practicing Yoga, the doorbell rang. I received the most beautiful bouquet of white roses from my L'Oréal team. So sweet and thoughtful! I hardly buy flowers for myself, with the exception of tulips every now and then. Thank you L'Oréal team!!!!

This beautiful body vase caught my eye a couple days ago. I just fell in love with it and had to get it. 
I left it on it's own for a while, not knowing what to do with it. I thought about putting some dried flowers in it, or just leave it. I do love minimalistic style. Not when it comes to lipsticks, though ;) Although, I have been decluttering a lot lately. Corona made me do it ;) More about that in a different post. 

Today I put some of the white roses inside the vase. It was as if it was meant to be. The female body as a vase for flowers, a beautiful symbol for how wondrous and full of life the female body is.

A metaphor for life and for 'Mother's Day', all day, every day.

I hope that all mothers out there got a little extra love yesterday. 

Remember, you are all amazing! 


Love from Mama Simone
