So I'm in Austria on an internationalization program through my school Voss Videregåande. Here I work as a ski instructor together with five others from my Wilderness class in a small town called Kappl. We'll be here for a month, so you can only imagine how much Vossabia I'm bringing with me 🐝!
Guess we need Vossabia here in the Alps then!
Three weeks of work are over and it's incredible how much you can experience in just a few weeks 🎿✨! Every day has of course started with smearing your face with Vossabia's delicious Sunscreen ! Absolutely necessary here when we work in Sunny Mountain resort, a name that fits very well as there are on average about. 200 hours of sunshine here a month 🌞! I can promise you that it has been so eye-catching!
The air here is quite dry as we are at 2500m! Mint lips are the salvation 💋! Every break it is passed around among the group, because everyone wants lips as soft and nice as mine 😉
Sunscreen and Mint Lip Balm every day and all the time here at Solfjellet in Kappl!
The work days here are very nice with lots of play and a good atmosphere among the ski instructors and the children you teach, but it is also very energy-consuming 😅 Having control over up to 15 children from 3 years old and up down the ski slopes can be quite tiring. Suddenly there is a youngster who falls, someone who goes downhill in hockey for a hundred and hevette, someone who loses their ski, someone who laughs, someone who fights, etc. I can easily admit that at the end of these days I am quite sweaty and exhausted 😮💨
Fortunately, I have Vossabia's all-natural spreadable deodorant 🙌! My favorite scent is definitely " sensual ", so instead of smelling sweat, I smell a delicious, round and attractive scent 😏!
Because even though I wear perfume all day, it's nice to smell great! If I want a change, I switch to Citrus Deodorant for a refreshing scent instead. There's a lot to choose from as we have five different deodorants 😍!

Quite perfect to smell delicious Sensual when you're a ski bum and go straight from the slopes to the bar 😉
After such hard days at work, it is absolutely necessary to take a good shower with Skogen på køben and shampoo with wild herbs to get clean and nice 🛀 I personally think that Skogen på køben is absolutely wonderful on the body, but also in the hair!! So I actually only have it with me here to Austria.
With so many sunny days, we've all got noses that resemble flaky clowns, at least after those days when the going has been a little too fast and I've forgotten my sunscreen (don't tell mom! 🤫). Rose and red clover scrub saves our poor noses 👃! A delicious scrub of the face and in no time, your nose is flaky-free! And not least, soft and delicious.
It will be even softer and better if you apply Marigold Ointment. or Sea buckthorn and nettle afterwards, as they are both perfect after-sun products! Did you know that sea buckthorn (which is also in sunscreen ) can actually repair sun damage!! That's so cool!
Sea buckthorn & nettle in my 🧡
Marigold ointment is not only wonderful as an aftersun, but also for an incredible amount of other things. We tend to call it our Home Pharmacy, because no matter what it is, it is Marigold ointment as is usually the case with rescue. It is simply a "must have", and definitely part of both the wellness and first aid kit when traveling 🙏 If there is something bothering anyone in the group, they come to me – Ylva, don't you have any magic witch's brew from your mother that can help with this? Of course! I answer then and pull forward Marigold ointment 🧡
Ingrid got a rash on her arm the other day, but it's no problem when you just apply a little of this amazing orange ointment - it went from red and sore to completely gone in just a few days. Tuva has a wound that won't heal, zero stress 😆! The calendula ointment fixes it as it is incredibly wound-healing. Due to its very wound-healing effect, it is also perfect for pimples and acne-prone skin. Bendik has struggled with this for a while and therefore asked me to bring a 100ml Calendula Balm for him on the trip, as his was empty before we left. He simply loves it, and says that it helps incredibly well with healing scars, but is also perfect for giving him the moisture and nourishment his skin needs as he is now on "ISO", which makes his skin extra fragile and dry.
Bendik digs Marigold ointment and!Ingrid's absolute favorite? It's Soft hands Of course! Up here in the cold and dry Alps, our hands quickly become as dry as an overpriced après-ski pizza 🍕 To avoid this, we just slather ourselves with this delicious hand cream. A little stroke of Soft hands and voila, you have what the ointment promises in its name, SOFT HANDS 🤲 It's a luxurious break from all the screaming babies when we find this silky-soft treasure in the elevator with a wonderful scent of rose and lavender. It doesn't get any better!
It just bubbles when Ingrid gets her hands on a Soft Hands !
Surprisingly, your muscles get quite sore after driving a plow all day, and not least lifting x number of children who fall at the slightest touch. Then it's pretty amazing to end the day by applying healing Panterbalsam together with Kroppsbalsam . All aches and pains disappear in a flash, and in addition you are left with baby-soft skin!
The Panther Balm has not only saved our muscles, but also poor Anna, as she has unfortunately been sick for the past week 🥺 Anna has received most of what she can get and has therefore spent a lot of time in bed where she has bathed in Panther Balm. All the good herbs in this magical ointment help very well with headaches and stuffy noses.
A little slouching in the chair, tired and tender young people.
The lifestyle as a ski instructor is also quite characterized by large amounts of après-ski, meaning real life and excitement 🎿! It's always nice to get ready for a fun evening with playful ski instructors from different countries, and then there are a few products I absolutely need to make the evening complete. Under the makeup I use Sea Buckthorn and Nettle to get an extra nice glow and smooth, nice skin. I can confirm that this will make you extra beautiful and that you are guaranteed a few compliments throughout the evening ✨!
And of course - when après-ski calls, and I want to go from the ski slope to the radiant evening glow, there is one product I never skip: Raspberry lips 💋 Yes, you might recognize this product from a giveaway we had a while ago? It will be on sale soon and then you just have to run and buy it! Because with a little touch of Raspberry lips on my lips, and voila – I look like I've flirted my way through half the après-ski before I've even walked in the door.
Before and after Raspberry lips ! Apreski here I come!
A quick dab on my cheek and suddenly I have the perfect, natural pink color – perfect blush, just like I’ve just received a charming comment from a handsome ski bum. If you want to charm on a winter evening, this is the little secret you need. But be careful – you could quickly end up with as much attention as the après-ski DJ 🎧!
I hope you enjoyed this travelogue and that you were inspired by hearing all the different ways we use Vossabia's heavenly product here in the Alps ⛰. It was great to have the opportunity to write to all of you, our amazing customers! You are truly one of a kind and it is so incredible to read through all the brilliant, touching and often funny feedback 💕. Just leave a comment on this newsletter too, was it good or absolutely horrible? I got a bit of performance anxiety when big brother Emil got so much credit for his email. Anyway, I would like to know! Maybe you will hear from me again in another newsletter (because mom needs some time to develop more products she says she is pregnant with ;) but then I will not write tonight because now it is time for AFTERSKI! Let's talk 🫶💋
Thank you so much for your attention and for taking the time to read it all! Thank you for me and greetings from my good friend Adrian!
