Strawberry fields forever – Keeping things juicy all year round

This title tells you two things about me: I love strawberries and I love The Beatles. Now it is the season for strawberries, so I will put my questionable taste of music aside and talk about the gorgeous red sweetness that is this fruit. Homemade Strawberry Jam Living in the 21h century, you can get strawberries all year round. But even if they look and smell like they should, the taste is only right for a short time. So what about the other nine months of the year? The answer…

The Beauty Scenario Tag – Agata made me do it once again

If you take a look at my posts, there are some people I mention quite often, because I genuinely love their blogs. But one person holds place number one without doubt, and that is the wonderful Agata from Her and Makeup. Not only is her blog well worth a read, but she keeps on tagging me in fun little beauty tags. Va-Va-Voom by Astor So here we go again: The Beauty Scenario Tag! You have to get rid of all your foundations and only keep one high-end and one drugstore,…

Mountains and sheep – Exploring New Zealands South Part I

It was about time that I tackled the “Backpacking” part of my blogs header, don’t you think? And what better way to do that than to share with you this years biggest adventure: Our trip to New Zealand! Our first sheep, met in Christchurch. Expect lots of pictures and a sudden urge of Wanderlust! Beautiful landscapes wherever you look 1. Christchurch Before the big earthquakes in 2010/2011, Christchurch was known as the “most British town of New Zealand”. After the destruction of the historical city centre, it now is a…

Sneak Peak – Spring

The fact that I am back to work full swing has lead to some changes in my personal and in my blogging life. To keep up with everything and avoid too many blog-related night shifts, I decided to put my love for lists and new found discipline (it seems to be something you get on top when giving birth) to good use and start scheduling my posts way in advance. I did this before we embarked on our New Zealand adventure, as I didn’t want to have to try and…

Getting back into shape – Post Baby Body

My daughter is now ten months old (actually eleven when this post goes online) and I still have baby weight to loose. This is a shocking confession in times of “What is your excuse?” pictures found everywhere and Heidi Klum walking the runway for Victorias Secret eight weeks after giving birth. Weights and weight But I have come a long way since the Little Bean was born and even if I am not where I want to be quite yet, I have learned a lot about my body and working…

New Years Eve

This is the last blog post I will be doing this year, as tonight is New Years Eve. I have been contemplating what to do for quite some time now, but remained undecided. Happy New Year! A glam makeup tutorial for going out, called my New Years Eve Face? Who am I kidding, I will be staying at home with Mr. Loca, as babysitters are hard to get and almost impossible to pay tonight, probably in PJ bottoms by nine. A retrospect on my blogging year? I have been blogging…

Born to be worn

As I mentioned in my blogpost “The first three months – what you really need”, there are several ways to take your baby for walks. You will see women pushing the pram all the time, but every now and then there will be a woman (or man) carrying the baby in either a baby sling or a specially designed carrier. I am one of those. Ostsee June 2014 (Photo credit Mr. Loca) So if you ever wondered why on earth someone would burden herself with carrying around the baby, keep…

Christmas Time

When it comes to christmas, it has always been a family thing. During the past 35 years, it rarely happened that I spend Christmas Eve anywhere else than at my parents house, and if I did, it was because I had to work. The only exception was last year, which I spend at my in-laws for several reasons. As much as I enjoyed it, they are a lovely people, it made me realize how much we rely on family traditions to really feel the christmas spirit. Happy holidays everyone! This…

Where Linda Libra Loca comes from | Or: What “Doctor Anne” used to be!

This is my very first blog post, written in 2014. I left it up to remember how everything started and what we have come to in these many years together, and I hope you read it with a smile and a lot of forgiveness when it comes to editing and picture quality. The explanation of “Linda, Libra, Loca” is a reference to what the blog was originally called, before I rebranded as “Doctor Anne” in 2018. Before I start reviewing products, raving about colors or sharing my seemingly never-ending hair…
