Ein strahlendes Lächeln am Tag der Zahngesundheit mit Kristian Schuller & Extra

Kennt ihr diese Tage, an denen euch eine fremde Person auf der Straße, in einem Café oder in der U-Bahn einfach so ein Lächeln schenkt und diese kleine Geste euch einfach gut fühlen lässt? Es ist erstaunlich, welche starke Wirkung ein strahlendes Lächeln auf andere Menschen haben kann; als ob positive Energie auf einen übertragen wird. Ich erinnere mich noch gut an die Zeiten, als wir alle während der Hochphase von Corona Masken tragen mussten. Das Lächeln der Menschen hat mir so sehr gefehlt. Umso mehr habe ich mich gefreut, als Extra Professional White mich zu einem Event mit Starfotograf Kristian Schuller und Dental-Expertin Nancy Djelassi am Tag der Zahngesundheit (25. September) eingeladen hat – denn genau darum ging es: Sein Lächeln strahlen zu lassen.

Ein Strahlen nach außen sowie nach innen

Während ein Lächeln von jemand anderem uns verzaubern kann, können gesunde und gepflegte Zähne auch für unser eigenes Selbstbewusstsein wie ein Booster wirken. Ein schönes Lächeln ist ein fester Bestandteil unseres äußeren Erscheinungsbilds, aber es geht über reine Ästhetik hinaus; es kann noch mehr: Es signalisiert Herzlichkeit, Offenheit und Verbundenheit – Eigenschaften, die von anderen als schön wahrgenommen werden und sich wiederum positiv auf unser eigenes Wohlbefinden auswirken. Genauso wie mich das Lächeln anderer glücklich macht, versuche ich selbst auch oft im Alltag mehr Freude durch ein freundliches Lächeln zu verbreiten; und ich kann es nur persönlich bestätigen: Am Ende des Tages fühle ich mich einfach positiver, weniger gestresst und insgesamt einfach besser.

Jedes Lächeln kann strahlen

Die gute Nachricht: Man muss nicht zwangsläufig in der Genetik-Lotterie gewonnen haben, um ein strahlendes und schönes Lächeln zu bekommen. Zahnmedizin und Kieferorthopädie sei Dank – ich selbst durfte als Teenie sogar zwei Mal ran – gibt es heute die Möglichkeit, dass jede:r Fehlstellungen korrigieren lassen kann. Aber laut Star-Fotograf Kristian Schuller und Nancy Djelassi, Präsidentin vom Bundesverband zahnmedizinischer Fachkräfte in der Prävention e.V. (BVZP), kommt es auf Perfektion letztendlich gar nicht mal an: „Egal, ob etwas schief oder gerade, Hauptsache die Zähne und das Zahnfleisch sind gesund!“. Stichwort gesund – und das liegt auch in unserer eigenen Hand.

How to: Gesunde gepflegte Zähne die strahlen

Ich hoffe stark, dass jede:r von uns weiß, dass man mindestens zwei Mal täglich seine Zähne mit fluoridhaltiger Zahnpasta putzen sollte – ja, auch die Zahnzwischenraumpflege sollte dabei nicht vernachlässigt werden. Bisher war mir jedoch nicht vollständig bewusst, welche Vorteile das Kauen von zuckerfreiem Kaugummi mit sich bringt. Während des Events erklärt uns Nancy Djelassi: „Besonders nach Mahlzeiten, zucker- und säurehaltigen Getränken fördert das zehn- bis zwanzigminütige Kauen von zuckerfreiem Kaugummi den Speichelfluss, neutralisiert Plaquesäuren, reduziert den Zahnbelag und schützt somit den Zahnschmelz vor Karies“. Zack, hatten wir uns alle ein Extra Professional White eingeschmissen, nachdem wir uns zuvor am leckeren Buffet und Kaffee bedient hatten.

How to: Lächeln, aber vor der Kamera

Viele Menschen scheuen sich vor der Kamera ihre Zähne zu zeigen, dabei wissen wir doch, dass ein Lächeln positive Emotionen beim Betrachter auslösen kann. „Gar kein Lächeln ist auf jeden Fall besser als ein verkrampftes oder übertriebenes“, sagt Kristian Schuller. Also, was hilft? Der renommierte Fotograf erklärt, dass ein Lächeln spontan kommen muss, deshalb solle man am besten an ein schönes oder lustiges Erlebnis denken. Pro-Tipp: Vor dem Shooting ein bisschen Kaugummi kauen, um die Gesichtsmuskulatur etwas zu lockern und entspannter Lächeln zu können. Zum Schluss des Events hat sich Kristian Schuller noch Zeit genommen auch unser strahlendes Lächeln vor der Kamera in Szene zu setzen. Da ging schon ein bisschen ein Teenie-Traum für mich in Erfüllung, muss ich zugeben (wie sehr ich GNTM geliebt habe!).

Insgesamt war es ein super spannendes, aufschlussreiches Event – herzlichen Dank für die Einladung!

Comfy home wear for those cozy weekends

Ever since I started working full time, which exactly has been four years ago, I understood why people are always looking so much forward to the weekend. When you’re at university, it does not really matter what day it is; you could decide to take the Tuesday as your day off, if you wanted to. But once you enter the work force, Saturdays and Sundays and wearing comfy home wear are everything you look forward to – even more if you have a high intensity job that leaves you drained by the end of the week.

The two most valuable days of the week

Saturday and Sunday become the most valuable ones of the week. You can spend them however you want to. You can fill them up with sporty, creative or social activities, using the time for your passions. Activities that make you feel alive again. And that is what I usually do.

However, there are those weekends where you feel that your (mental and physical) battery is simply empty. Giving 100% during the week and then engaging in high-energy activities every weekend, can just leave you drained after a while. And those weekends exist to simply relax. To do nothing. To not leave the house. To order food. To stay on the couch all-day.

All you want is just to feel comfortable. And comfort also means wearing something that makes you feel warm, cared for and all snuggled up. Loose shapes, soft materials, neutral colors. Something that is picking up the relaxed vibe that you are going for on this particular chill weekend. You know exactly the feeling I am talking about, don’t you?

Comfy clothes for cozy weekends

Recently I found Land’s End, who I partnered up with for this Blog Post. I chose two super cozy shirts from their online shop. They arrived all wrapped up in a cute box – one is a long-arm polo shirt and another one is this cool denim-look sweater. Both can be worn super comfy combined with soft black leggings, or shorts for the warmer days.

I really love these kinds of weekends; especially when it’s a rainy day – so you don’t feel guilty about not leaving the house. You might not have the coolest stories to tell on Monday morning to your colleagues, but at least you are back at energy level 100% for the next weeks and exciting weekends that are ahead of you.

My Must-Have Trend Pieces this Fall/Winter 2021

I believe it’s no secret that fall is everybody’s favorite season for fashion. With temperatures not too high – so that you simply want to stay in your bikini all day at the pool – but also not too low – so that you simply want to wrap yourself in a blanket and not leave the house – there comes a plethora of outfit combinations that you can explore. Yes, it’s that time to be experimental and creative, especially when it comes to layering. No need to compromise between your favorite camisole and your chunky knit, as it’s the combination that creates the perfect look. Plus, who doesn’t love those warm earth tones that blend in so beautifully with the changing colors of the leaves of the trees?

My love declaration for autumn is obvious, but what I really want to share with you today are my favorite trend pieces this fall/winter 2021 season. In collaboration with NA-KD I am showing you some key pieces or “must-haves” that should not be missing in your wardrobe this (but also next!) seasons – as you should know, I do not buy pieces for one season only. For me it’s important that I can make long-term value out of the garments I buy. Anyway, let’s hit it off!

Tigha becomes Young Poets Society and encourages Curiosity and Creativity

Young Poets Society

Hey friends,

today I would like to introduce you to a new brand – or to be precise a rebranded brand – and show you one of my favorite looks from their first collection. The founders of the back-then brand Tigha were on a mission to create the best leather jackets, and this is eventually what they became known for for the last decade. But as we know, times are changing rapidly and so are consumers needs and tastes. Companies that wake up too late to respond to these changes will find themselves left behind. And that’s why Tigha decided to evolve into Young Poets Society.

Where to stay in Zurich – 25Hours Hotel Langstrasse

25Hours Hotel Zurich Langestrasse

Born and raised in Germany in a little village, I always had to urge to visit far places and explore what is out there. Ironically, I used to be blind to see that beauty can be just around the corner. I didn’t explore much of Germany nor of close or “similar” countries like Switzerland or Austria. Now I know that every country is unique, and I can certainly not put all German-speaking countries into one bucket. This is why last weekend I decided to make my first visit to Zurich, Switzerland. I stayed at the 25Hours Hotel in Langstrasse and very soon discovered that it is the place to be in Zurich! Because the 25Hours Hotel is not only a Hotel, but it is an artistic silo that offers an amazing restaurant, a cool bar, and a little shop that sells all kinds of random fun stuff.

A Wellness Weekend in Hotel Resort & Spa Miramonte in Italy

Resort Spa Miramonte

I am definitely a big-city girl, but on some days, things just get too overwhelming in the city. It is loud, it is crowded, you do not manage to get a moment of calmness and you just feel suffocated. This is so moment, where you just want to jump on a train or in a car and drive far out into the nature. However, the reason why I was drawn to the Hotel Resort & Spa Miramonte was a different one: After months of being locked up in quarantine at home, I was missing the feeling of freedom. I wanted to escape my own four walls and go high up a mountain and watch the endless horizon.

New IPhone Accessories Obsessions

popsocket handyhülle

Do you remember the days in which people had different kinds of phones? Nokia, Motorola, Sony Ericsson… in all kinds of colours! Even though there were always some „Must Haves“, there was still some variety on the market. These days, however, the phone market is so consolidated it seems as if it’s only a matter of Apple IPhone vs. Samsung Galaxy. To me, having the same thing as everybody else is boring: Definitely in terms of fashion, but actually in many aspects of life I dont like to get captured by the mass and conform to group pressures. If everybody starts wearing purple, I would try to avoid it. However, I still think that we can and should not completely avoid it.  We are more similar than we might think and going against the stream just for the sake of it might not be the best option anyway. So let’s face it – we all have the same phone… but… we can all have different phone cases to spice things a little bit up, right?

One Weekend in Ibiza with OneVillasIbiza in October

Temperatures started to drop. Summer was slowly coming to an end. I was already preparing to adapt my closet to winter time and say goodbye to summer 2019… but then I received the invitation to prolong the summer – I was invited to Ibiza by OneVillasIbiza! The switch back to a summer mindset was as easy as expected and I couldn’t say anything else but “I’m in!”. Let me tell you a little bit more about this company and my stay in Ibiza at Villa Can Xumeu den March

Goodbye Wrinkly Clothes: In Paris with Laurastar

Laurastar

Only a few days before I had to leave Milan to go back to Copenhagen, I received a super interesting Mail from Laureline, who works at Laurastar. She invited me over to come to Paris in order to test one of their most popular products – the Laurastar Lift – a portable steaming station! I immediately thought „they must have seen my InstaStory in which I totally went crazy dancing while ironing my shirts the other day!“. Whether it was a funny coincidence or not, let me tell you now a little bit about that event and of course about the steaming station, which is a total multitalent!
