Finally, I thought I would show you our self-built campervan / sheet metal / motorhome! Also takes the opportunity to answer what to think about when ...
I have been using Manukahonung MGO 600+ for a while to relieve my sore throat and try to get rid of my recurring sore throat / throat infections. So...
Hi hi, my name is Helena Amiley! :) We have been thinking about changing last names for a while.
Amilej we pronounce it, as it is spelled, not amajly as if you read it in English.
I just got an email from The Swedish Tax Agency that the surname that Miska and I sent in the application for in May has now finally been reviewed! We have known for a while that it was approved but it should be in a proclamation or newspaper or something (I only wrotedbefore autocorrect corrected me, I have such a great control over this) but as of today we are both called Amiley by last name!
What does Amiley Mean?
It is a made-up name, you can only change your last name if you get married, take a family name or come up with one that no one else is called.
Vi har velat byta efternamn ganska länge och kom på Amiley när vi skojade / brainstormade på altanen, mitt bland alla tokiga namn vi kom på så slog jag ihop “Annika” och “Mileya” som vi bor med och insåg att Amiley är ju jättefint!
So it does not matter, but when I thought about it more, it struck me that Amiley is also a mixture of all my nephews' names (Meja, Mila, Mille, Måns and Alexander) so then it felt extra right!
Why have we changed our last name?
Det började med att Miska ville byta eftersom han heter Isoniemi, vilket är ganska krångligt, så började vi prata lite om att ansöka ihop. Lite som ett mini-giftemål haha, jag tycker ändå inte att efternamn är så viktigt utan känner lite “varför inte?” :)
So now our names are Helena Amiley and Miska Amiley which feels so heavenly cozy! ♥
Then it is a bonus not to have anything with the letter ö, that Rönnblad must be written as Ronnblad. We have e.g. plans to live in Spain in the future. Now I can use my whole name without any weirdness with the dots :)
@Helenaamiley
So now I have a little to stand in haha. Get a new driver's license, passport and change last names on my social channels and company stuff.
I have also had plans to redo the design in the blog a bit, but have been waiting for the last name change for some really unclear reason. Most psychically, I think, that autumn and new surnames will be like a fresh start? :)
So now it starts, my fresh start 2020! Lol!
By the way, I sometimes get the question about my Sunday posts, that I stopped them shortly after the corona struck and if I should not start again. There are several reasons for this, but I definitely intend to get better at writing more about entrepreneurship and other non-makeup related stuff again!
Jag började jobba så mycket hemifrån plus det mesta jag gör handlar om mitt nya sminkmärke som jag ändå inte kan skriva om, så jag tappade lusten när de flesta dagar var “här sitter jag på samma stol som alltid framför dator och jobbar med saker jag inte kan berätta om” haha.
But I will try to come up with a better balance there, I do not write properly here in the blog :)
Here is today's autumn make-up in step by step description.
It's a bit cliché to like autumn, but I still can not help but say it! :) The bad thing about the Swedish summer is that the whole country is also in some kind of state of emergency (do you say so?) With vacation times and nothing is as it usually is.
Now I have not started with a jacket yet and can still drink my coffee cup outdoors - but life is also in a forward movement! Quick responses to emails, assignments begin to roll in and you can both enjoy life and develop at the same time :)
That's why I want to live in a warmer country, in the mountains of Spain ♥ I do not want just one season, not hot tropical summer days at a time, but two seasons are enough! Summer, autumn coziness and constant forward movement - then I will feel my best all the time! Spain will be perfect simply. Before I turn 30!
Enough about that, it's today's autumn make - up that I will show and nothing else, haha!
Our best-selling lipstick is the same series as in the picture, but in the slightly lighter shade no. 35. Number 17 is poppis too but nothing beats 35. We have regular customers who buy several at once. But now I have to make many of you sad and say that the shade 35 has been discontinued from Paese's range. I do not understand why (!) But that is unfortunately the case and our stock is out as well.
However, I myself do not use 35 at all because I think it is too light on me, for me 17 is the perfect light shade! :)
Color clicks are the best I know, fast and easy and yet wow-looking!
My waterline is tattooed light. So for exactly the same eyes, you can supplement with glo Skin Beauty Eye Pencil (Peach) too.
What did you think of this autumn make-up? Do you want to see more make-up then you can browse through categories or try searching for something special. :)
Having a weakened or poor immune system is not entirely uncommon in today's society. It is very often due to external or internal influences. Reasons for the weakened or bad immune system include the environment, diet, medication, stress, depression, mental illness. The list of reasons can certainly be made very long.
I myself have struggled with my recurring throat infections and am pretty sure it probably has something to do with my immune system and stress. Or, they started when I had a period of a lot of inner stress and then the immune system has not really come back again.
So to learn more about the immune system and how it works, what you can do to improve your immune system and everything around it. So I thought I would make a big post about the immune system. The subject is also highly topical now with the immune system corona and how the corona virus can affect the immune system.
I hope you will benefit as much from this as I do! That you can boost your immune system and feel better in these corona times! It is not just corona that you want to beware of, because even common cold symptoms mean that you end up in quarantine mode if you do not test for coronation.
What is the Immune System?
Innehållsförteckning av “Immunförsvaret – Har du dåligt eller nedsatt immunförsvar?”:
The immune system is the body's internal defense against viruses, bacteria and other substances that do not belong to the body. The bacteria and viruses that manage to get through the body's external defenses will meet our immune system.
Our immune system repairs damage that occurs and takes care of residual products that the body does not need. The immune system also cleans up the cells and repairs what needs to be repaired.
The immune system consists of, among other things:
White blood cells, which are the body's defense cells.
The blood, which transports the white blood cells.
Lymph, a fluid in the lymphatic vessels that carries white blood cells.
The lymph nodes, are part of the lymphatic system and contain white blood cells.
The spleen, an organ that contains many white blood cells.
Thymus, where white blood cells of the type T lymphocytes mature.
Other cells, such as epithelial cells in intestines, lungs and tissues. These respond to viral infections and call for help and signal danger.
How does the immune system work?
The immune system protects the body by attacking foreign substances in different ways and thus creates immune reactions. Some examples of immune reactions include inflammation, antibodies, overeating cells & killer cells.
What happens to inflammation in the body?
Inflammation occurs when the body is damaged by something and the cells in the damaged tissue release various chemical substances. This results in fluid flowing through the blood vessels and into the damaged tissue. The white blood cells gather in defense of the body and against what is attacking or to repair damage that has occurred.
When more blood flows to an injured area, it feels swollen, hot and can hurt. With a severe inflammation, you can also have a fever.
It is precisely the fever that is most troublesome when I get my throat infections. The default is that I get 39.4 degrees when the fever is at its highest. Then you are not cocky;) I have become a bit of a fever expert. Two diversions and an ipren (although different times of the day so that they never go out completely) as well as sleeping in a terry bathrobe and heating mattress. That's my routine!
Wart formation in an infected wound is part of the defense and is part of healing. These include dead white blood cells, bacteria and dead degraded tissue.
Here you see a feverish Helena trying to keep her spirits up! A little worn :) I have had these problems for 2.5 years now and have had around 30 relapses during that time.
I have received a proper examination both at the ear-nose-throat clinic and at the infection clinic. Type a thousand samples and also x-rayed the lungs. So I can relax and know that it's not dangerous at all, I just have to make it stop.
What are antibodies and how are antibodies formed?
Antibodies are a protein used by the immune system to fight foreign substances. The antibodies are formed by white blood cells of the type B lymphocytes.
Antibodies can, among other things, make the body immune to some diseases as part of our immune system.
The first time you are exposed to a virus, it takes time for the body to make enough antibodies and causes you to be more affected by the virus. If after a certain time you are exposed to the same virus again, it goes faster, and is due to the fact that some of the cells from the previous attack have been converted into memory cells.
Memory cells remember the virus from the last time and can therefore quickly form new antibodies against the virus.
When you become immune to a disease, it is these memory cells we have to thank! :)
Immunity can be obtained partly by becoming ill or by vaccinating oneself. During vaccination, you are exposed to the same virus but so weakened that the body easily has time to take care of it even if it is new. Thus, memory cells are also formed for the same disease and if you become infected in the future, the body knows how to handle it.
What are killer cells and what do they do?
Killer cells or T cells are as the name indicates killer! Among other things, they can kill cancer cells and other cells that have been infected by viruses, provided that the killer cell recognizes the virus. They kill the cells by injecting poison. Sounds nasty but it's part of how the body protects itself! :)
What are binge eating cells and what do they do?
Bulk-eating cells are similar to their companion killer cells and instead eat cells and other microorganisms. In this way, the binge-eating cell destroys what it eats.
When and how do you get your immune system?
We already have an immune system when we are born, however, you must also see the immune system as a newborn and it must learn to "stand, walk and talk" just like the child. :)
When you are small, you learn your immune system to function properly by exposing yourself to various viruses and bacteria. Maybe that's also why children often have to put things in their mouths?
Det jag själv reflekterat över genom åren är att barn som växt upp i mer ”renliga hem” har i större grad allergier och känslighet. Nu menar jag pedantiskt städade hem och förbud mot att “smutsa ner sig”. :P
How To Get A Better Immune System?
How do you really strengthen your immune system? The immune system can be strengthened against e.g. specific diseases through vaccinations and through a healthy lifestyle.
Tips to strengthen your immune system:
Eat healthy food - Vitamins and minerals are important for the immune system, so it is best to eat varied and healthy. Lots of fruits and vegetables work wonders!
Exercise and movement - Moving is important for the body, it reduces inflammation, among other things! You should try strength training and or cardio training once a week. Everyday movement is also important, especially if you have a sedentary job. You should think of the little things like taking the stairs instead of the elevator and walking instead of the electric scooter.
Sleep and recovery - This is very important and the body needs rest to recover from both mental and physical activity.
Jag gör alla dessa saker förutom att jag inte har full pott på “träning och rörelse”. Mest jobbar jag framför datorn och på hösten/vintern blir det inte många steg.. Och träningen är svår att komma igång med när jag hela tiden blir sjuk. Man ska inte träna med feber!
The food to strengthen and boost the immune system!
However, I am good at getting healthy food in me! Miska has the ability to cook food that is healthy and delicious at the same time! Even for me who is very picky haha. Like a child :)
Ät mindre av mat som är “sönderprocessad” och mer av mat som kommer direkt från naturen! På detta sätt får du i dig mängder av bra bakterier, vitaminer, mineraler och andra goda ämnen som kroppen behöver för att fungera ordentligt. Men också för att immunförsvaret ska göra sitt jobb som det är tänkt!
Here are some simple tips on foods that strengthen your immune system:
Fruit vegetables - Can not overeat, the more the better! However, in as much variety as you can, to just eat e.g. Bananas will probably get you constipated. :)
Berries & nuts - A fantastic source of vitamins and minerals and is enough in small amounts to boost your immune system!
Dark Chocolate - The high content of cocoa found in dark chocolate produces large amounts of phenols and boosts the immune system. Of course, it is also possible to drink a cup of homemade chocolate with dark cake powder. I usually take 1-2 small pieces of 70+ dark chocolate a day, but the darker the better. :)
Fat fish - Boosts your Vitamin D intake which activates the T cells and is a good source of omega 3 fats. Fatty fish include mackerel, salmon, tuna and char.
Yogurt & fil - More and more research shows that the intestinal flora is an important part of a functioning body and above all a functioning immune system. So in order to get good bacteria, you can in addition to the other steps also eat some yogurt & filet. This of course applies to natural unsweetened yoghurt & filet. :)
Spices - Many spices are super good for the immune system, I do not go deeper into all and what they do here. But some examples of good spices for the immune system are garlic, ginger, turmeric, cinnamon, garlic, chili, basil, black pepper and mustard. So make sure to season the food properly and add most of the spices at the end of cooking so that good substances are not destroyed by heating. :)
Jag dricker också en brustablett med C-vitamin och Zink varje dag (blir en snygg mörkrosa drink!) samtidigt som jag försöker hitta avslappning och lite extra lyx i vardagen. Oftast så enkelt som att jag inte “bara tar en kopp te” utan jag tänker aktivt “now I'll snuggle up to it with a hot cup of tea” och så tar jag på mig tofflor och en filt också. Stress är inte bara “bråttom” utan även inre stress, så det är jätteviktigt med avslappning och att leva det liv man vill leva :)
Hope my post on the immune system and how the immune system works was helpful! I make these posts to get rid of my recurring throat infections, I am so tired of being sick every month and need to find a solution!
Probably something that has been out of balance for a long time and I have to blame it for when the body's warning signals hit a little slippery. I was also very bad at listening to the body in the beginning, I stuffed myself with antipyretic tablets until I forgot that I was sick and then I loaded wood until the lungs burned .. But now I take my body seriously! I have to balance it up a bit now and show the body that there is no danger :)
Feel free to write a comment if you yourself are struggling with something and if it is something that has worked well for you or if you have any questions or concerns!
If you, like me, have also been very ill, I can also give tips on my previous post about putting on healthy make-up! Click here to get to that post.
There are several different make-ups to do with green eye shadow, if you want to see more, try that search here in the blog. :)
I have chosen not to print a product list in today's posts except for the eye shadow, as much is a blissful mix of any upcoming news in the webshop and homemade samples directly from the factory to my upcoming makeup brand;););) if all goes well.
But I really like today's look! Super nice matte lipstick, green but discreet eyeliner and check what a good base day I have!
The eye shadow that I applied as a smoky eyeliner with a wing is the green eye shadow Paese Glam Eyeshadow in shade 206!
If you would like to see more dark lipsticks in the web shop, you are welcome to shout! I myself love dark, muted colors but they usually do not sell so well - so it is a balance with how much it is worth to stock :)
An eyeliner does not always have to be a real eyeliner, not sharp either for that matter. Eye primer and green eye shadow applied with one narrow brush - it works just as well too!
Today's make-up is a tip about the light eyeshadow Paese Sparkle Eyeshadow that many people like!
It is shimmery without being glittery. Light without being super bright. And it works perfectly alone around the whole eye, without any other eye shadow, both for everyday and for a little more festive look :)
I complemented the look with red lips and a yellow summer dress, but it fits everything!
