Cirque Royal (Brussels, BE)
Weekend (Thursday – Monday) in Brussels in March 2010!
Concert tickets for March 19th already secured! Accommodation secured!
Looking at photos of the building/venue of Cirque Royal it’s a historic beauty that alone! Then experience some more of beautiful places and environments in Brussels with surroundings! Meeting lots of friends! Sharing concert adventure together! All of this is really something to look forward to, specially those days the blues get you ; )
Thank you, Milow for bringing us together =D
Seeking sponsor/s (TMI ;))
It’s time to swallow my pride, yep, going to very selfish for a while. Not that it will get me anywhere and specially not where I want it to but still, no harm done in putting it down in words except for a bit of my humble pride ; )
I loved the promo gig in Stockholm on Oct 19 at Lilla Hotellbaren, no doubt about that! Small and cozy venue. Close to the stage, seeing and hearing everything just perfect. But do you know what I miss (hard to please this lassie ; ) )? A ‘real’ concert! A promo gig is a promo gig and a concert is a concert, right?
Last chance for this year is Helsinki, Finland on Dec 5. Helsinki not that far from Stockholm. Only 50 min if one has wings ; ). Oh yes, there is only one tiny obstacle in my way ; ) and looks like this: € € € €! (Flight, hotel and concert)
To be there in person, to inhale in the atmosphere of a concert that has more of Nina, more of Tom and the rest of the gang on stage, and with longer versions of some of the songs. That Santa! is what I wish for as an early Xmas wish!
I have been good Santa,I promise I have = D, so could you please send a sponsor my way? In return you will see a really big smile on this ole’ teddy’s face and will give the sponsor a great feedback in a personal exclusive story from the Helsinki Adventure!
Now I have made a complete “fool” of myself to let out of TMI like this but what the heck ; ), “I am very good at being me “ that is who I am!
Oh btw, this just reminds me of the very first time and only time, as a kid, I wrote a letter addressed to Santa. That letter never reach “Santa” because my mom didn’t mail it, she forgot about it and I later found the letter unopened : (
One more thing, maybe you wonder what or whom I am referring to as far as Helsinki? Well, easy answer amigos: Milow and his gang!

Milow @ The Circus Helsinki Dec 5
I really had my heart and soul set on being able to attend the concert of Milow in Helsinki Dec 5 at The Circus. But my wallet tells me otherwise ; ) Stupid wallet of mine I would say!
Maybe next year in Brussels will work out better and hopefully concerts in Sweden too. But Brussels has a date attached to it already (March 19,2010) Sweden has not, so lets aim for that date as a starter at least.
Calendula
Calendula possesses anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial anti-fungal and anti-spasmodic properties.
Calendula has a wide variety of uses including:
Aids in the quick repair of damaged skin and rapid wound healing
Helps to minimise the effects of aging
Is on of the best herbs for treating burns, cuts and abrasions because of its anti-septic qualities
Helps to seal small blood vessels thereby stemming bleeding and preventing bruising
The anti-fungal properties make it effective in treating athlete’s foot, ringworm and candida
It reduces the fluid inside blistersEffective in the treatment of acne, nappy rash and sore nipples in nursing mothers
Calendula will also minimise inflammation and the risk of secondary infection in chronic skin conditions such as eczema and psoriasis. It will aid in the repair of the skin damaged from repeated breakdown due to these conditions and help to keep scarring at a minimum.
As always precaution recommends, there is always a risk that allergy or other reaction might occur.
For my skin Calendula works well. It really give relief to itching eczema and other rashes. It soften and calms the skin. For me it is so hard to find a product that will be total free of any type of irritation how mild they might be.
Not even the product that are fragrance free are totally safe. So I try all kind of product in hope that I might find some that will measure up to my expectations and need. Most of the time they only reach halfway.
I first tested the Calendula balm from Essential Care which is divine!
Suitable for Vegetarians.
Ingredients: coconut oil*, extra virgin olive oil*, shea butter*, beeswax*, calendula extract*, orange essential oil*, chamomile essential oil*, limonene (from the orange oil)
*Organically grown/produced (100% of product)
Product is Soil Association Certified.
Badger Balm Baby Balm w Calendula and Chamomile also divine!
Ingredients: *Extra Virgin Olive Oil, *Golden Yellow Beeswax, *Castor Oil, *Calendula Extract and Essential Oil of *Roman Chamomile.
* = Certified Organic
Now testing Weleda Baby Calendula Shampoo/Bodywash. Really creamy formula that soothes your body when applying it to your wet skin. Leaves skin smooth even after you towel dried. Smelling so mild and fresh. Really calms the skin as well.
Ingredients:
INCI: Water (Aqua), Coco-Glucoside, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Alcohol, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sesamum Indicum (Sesame) Seed Oil, Glycerin, Chondrus Crispus (Carrageenan), Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, Xanthan Gum, Lactic Acid, Fragrance (Parfum)*, Limonene*, Linalool*. *from natural essential oils
Weleda brand for Calendula include many products but some of them has lanolin, which is a common ingredient but I do have a tendency to react to that so I prefer to use product without lanolin. Though there still are some products that are free of Lanolin like their lotion, creme bath and massage oil. I am aiming for the lotion and massage oil next time around.
Lately I have noticed that my usual facial basis sensitiv cleansing gel from Lavera is leaving my skin dry and tight, could have to do with the change of season. So I tried using the Weleda Baby Calendula Shampoo/bodywash on my face. It is so rich in its formula and perfect even to use on your face. Leaving skin smooth and no negative reaction.
