Detox
Filed in: Fashion, Food and Drinks, Home Decor
Today is a day for detox at our house and has mostly been spent in the bedroom. It started with getting the biggest mirror in the world. At least it´s huge. I was so tired of squatting down check out my outfits in the mirror of the vanity and figured it was about time to get a proper one. And this is with no doubt a proper mirror. I almost couldn´t sleep last night cause I was so excited of bringing it home today and since we finally got it I have barely left the room.
For a proper detox day, facial masks and lotions are a must. Today´s attire is all about comfort and I am wearing a vintage slip and woolen socks.
Healthy food is included, with avocado soup as a starter…
…a Kurdish stew with lots of vegetables and ayran to drink…
…and fruits and more of it for desert.
While the facial mask does it´s wonders I can admire the figurines I have started to collect for a future nursery.
And when the day comes to an end and I am all cleansed I can go to bed and dream sweet dreams right next to our very kitschy lamp.

I absolutely love the fact that you have the dedication to have a theme day like today with all the works!!

Agathe, by the looks at your and your husband’s cookings, I always end up being convinced that you should try opening a family restaurant! It least there’s no such good looking meals at my place!

Mel, it´s really more about relaxation than anything else, the laundry will just have to wait until tomorrow. :)
Nina, I dream of starting a little B&B by the sea in the future, then I can at least cook breakfast for people! And I am planning for my husband to take the guests out fishing while I am cleaning and cooking dinner.

wow. just wow. hahahaha
April 14th, 2008 at 9:48 pm
very lovely idea agathe. i would really visit this soon to open b&b. i just fell in love with that mirror. i need one now too. did you get in an antique store or is it new?

Modejunkie, I wish I asked! Actually, I am kind of embarrassed I didn´t! No, but it´s not vintage as these are made by order, although I do think vintage materials might be used. I got it at Eske, http://www.eske.as, and if you call them (they speak English, I know) they will probably tell you were it´s from. It´s most likely imported, but as I said, I know nothing… :)

Your house is adorable.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
No wonder you are so tiny, you eat really healthy.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
What a lovely idea of all of these! I especially like the fruit desert, the way you cut them, present them, makes feel that it’s just near the beach over mediterranné and gives me a totle appetit!
You’re always a creative girl.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:08 pm
your house is adorable
but where do you fit all the clothes?
April 14th, 2008 at 10:09 pm
The dishes you and your husband make always look so delicious! You should post recipes (unless they’re secret family recipes)!
April 14th, 2008 at 10:12 pm
That is the exact kind of mirror that i have been dying to find, it’s so beautiful I could almost cry because it isn’t mine!
April 14th, 2008 at 10:32 pm
That mirror is huge! I thought mine was big!! And your fruit plate looks so yummy!
April 14th, 2008 at 10:37 pm
I need a detox day. Your food looks delicious.
April 14th, 2008 at 10:38 pm
Yes, please post the recipe for your vegetable stew. It looks devine.As does everything x
April 14th, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Pretty girl, haha, most of the time I do. I just don´t care much for sweets or things like that.
Jean Rose, the entire wall on the other side is covered with shelves. :)
Nina, maybe I will. This is sort of a family recipe as it´s my mother´s Kurdish ex-husband who brought it into the family, but it isn´t secret at all!
La étincelle, contact the shop at http://www.eske.as they will be able to tell you where to get it.
Thanks for commenting all of you!

I always try to detox once a week as well. It’s a me day which I will do my facial, quiet time, and anything to pamper myself for the day. It just makes a gal feel for alive.
April 14th, 2008 at 11:11 pm
Your house needs a blog of its own. Love!
April 14th, 2008 at 11:31 pm
Love all your outfits and the apartment. But usually you have to do two weeks of detox before you are all cleansed..:)
April 14th, 2008 at 11:39 pm
if you had a tvshow about cooking, i would have looked at your program every single day!
April 14th, 2008 at 11:46 pm
must admit that i am quite jealous of your house. that lamp especally.
April 14th, 2008 at 11:54 pm
Wow, that mirror was just absolutely beautiful!! I desperately want to redecorate my room, but I don’t have the money. Can you recommend a place where they sell pretty carpets?
April 15th, 2008 at 12:08 am
Wow you know how to make Kurdish stew! Could you please please please post the recipe. We have Kurdish friends and my husband loves the food but we don’t know how to make it.
April 15th, 2008 at 12:21 am
wow you have great furnitures and cute little thingys….you have good taste
April 15th, 2008 at 12:24 am
What a glorious mirror…
And I agree with others: the fruit plate looks so pretty!
April 15th, 2008 at 2:02 am
my bf and i want a mirror exactly like that for our living-room. we wanted to hang it over our huge couch, but that mirror looks really heavy, do you think one could hang it on a wall? or would it just come falling down?
anyway, looks like a great day.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:23 am
I defintely need one of these days, perhaps after exams =/
April 15th, 2008 at 3:33 am
Please do post recipes, the avocado soup looks deliciously perfect.
April 15th, 2008 at 4:13 am
What exactly is Kurdish stew?? Would you mind sharing the recipe for it and maybe the avocado soup too?? I would love to make it for my fiance! Everything looks delicious!
Beautiful mirror, by the way. I have a pretty large picture frame that looks very similar to it–makes me wonder if the frame was once a mirror.

…get a load of that pineapple! Damn, I hate pineapple, but that looks almost tasty, just because you cut it up so nice!
April 15th, 2008 at 5:15 am
That is A beautiful Mirror Agathe!
I love this post makes me smile :)
April 15th, 2008 at 6:23 am
A future nursery? Little Agathes on the brain?
April 15th, 2008 at 7:16 am

and the detox good looks yummy
April 15th, 2008 at 8:00 am
ohh that looks very relaxing, I’m jealous!
April 15th, 2008 at 8:10 am
your mirror looks great. its 1am and im salivating for your fruit plate…oh God!
April 15th, 2008 at 8:30 am
Parker, I know, but it still does wonders for how you feel about yourself! :)
Studentstil, we don’t have a single carpet so I’m not really sure. We got a reindeer skin on the floor, that’s it.
Celeritas, I’ll see if I find it, I make it more from memory. :)
Anna, it is super heavy, but it’s probably possible to hang on a wall if the wall is strong and it’s properly secured.
Aja, some day… ;)
Thanks for all your comments!
April 15th, 2008 at 8:33 am

April 15th, 2008 at 2:23 pm
I adore that Mirror! I also have a gigantic mirror that is sitting on the floor of my hallway because my darling can’t figure out how to hang it. I”ll have to post it on my blog one of these days. Hope you’re feeling cleansed!

I also vote for a fashion/food blog. Everytime you post pictures of your meals, I salivate and wish for such things to put into my mouth as well.
April 15th, 2008 at 3:28 pm
i just love you blog! that mirror looks magnificent.
April 15th, 2008 at 5:00 pm
Hey Agathe!
I would be really happy if you would post some of your recipes :)
Can you soon post some photos of your new closet??
April 15th, 2008 at 5:32 pm
All of the food is so well presented (mch like yourself). The avocado soup looks delish!
April 15th, 2008 at 5:48 pm
Agathe, u should definitely start that B&B u dream abt! then u can organize thrift-shopping excursions for some guests while your husband takes others out fishing!
i would totally visit your b&b then :D
April 15th, 2008 at 7:42 pm
lovely idea! But don’t you have to go to work? And did your husband did it too?
April 15th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
Your house looks so beautiful! I can’t wait to get a place of my own and decorating it. Also, the food you made looks soooo yummy! :)
April 15th, 2008 at 8:38 pm
La Pola, I am sure he will come along when you least expect it! ;)
Sofie, there are some pictures in an old post if you search for it. Try “Stolmen” perhaps…
Zee, haha, good idea! And you´d have to come stay!
Jess, this was after work. :)
Thanks for all of your comments! Sorry for not replying to all of you individually!
April 15th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
that looks so lovely!
April 16th, 2008 at 5:14 am
Like the others, I’d LOVE some recipes… particularly for that avocado soup. I’m wondering if it’s similar to Thai avocado milkshakes…
April 16th, 2008 at 6:05 am

April 16th, 2008 at 6:06 am

You are like a great movie, you seem so real yet so surreal in the same time…
Its like you are living in a different world ( i hope you get what i mean…)
Take care, you are a true inspiration source

Hi Agathe
I fell in love with your make up table the very first time I saw it (in your earlier entries). Now I’m wondering if you know who designed it? Or if it’s available on the internet?
Love your blog!
