In memory of my mother

When I got the opportunity to design my own jewelry in collaboration with Sistie, my first thought was that there had to be an element in memory of my mother, who I lost to cancer in 2010. The little rock in the jewelry symbolizes the amber my mother had and reminds me of her.

It was important to me to create a jewelry collection with a little edge and history.

Losing a parent

My advice to young people losing a parent or another close relation at a young age, is to remember that it's more than okay to feel sad but also trying to remember that everything is going to be okay. Try to look ahead and remember the good memories.

It's very individual from person to person how we handle grief, and there is no right or wrong way.

Influencer raised in the countryside

I'm 25 years old and raised in the countryside surrounded by lovely nature. I'm very interested in fashion and interior design, and I love to decorate our home where I live with my boyfriend and our dog. My job is being an influencer and I work with Instagram which I love!

My dream is to travel the world and experience a lot of different cultures and combine it with my work. And when the time is right, I dream about creating a lovely family.

Less is more

My style is very simple and feminine with a little edge. That reflects the jewelry quite well. I really live by the quote "less is more". The jewelry is both beautiful worn by itself but also styled with other jewelry.

Paradise Hotel

My participation in Paradise has given me so much. I've learned so much about myself in the 2 months I was in Mexico. Both being in the hotel, but also in all that time I was left by myself in Mexico with no phone or other contact to the outside world, when being outside the hotel. I got to know myself in a different way and I learned to enjoy my own company and being alone. An experience I wouldn't be without, without any doubt!
