Approximately seven million people in Germany are vegetarians. Andan ever-increasing number are abstaining from meat on a frequentbasis and looking for healthy, delicious alternatives. Many people avoidall products derived from dead animals or containing substances fromanimal carcasses. Actress Marion Kracht is one of these people. Shecooks and enjoys not only pure vegetarian meals, she has even createdher own vegan range of organic food products called vevenga. I am es-pecially pleased that she joined us to cook a vegan summer menu ex-clusively for “natural woman.” Turn to page 4 to see Marion Kracht inaction and find a few of her recipes to try at home.

Likewise, all of the products made by our company are free of sub-stances from dead animals and thus 100 percent suitable for vegetar-ians. Approximately 80 percent of the products are in fact vegancosmetics (for a list please visit http://unternehmen.boerlind.com/die-marke/qualitaet/vegan). They contain no animal extracts or prod-ucts from animals such as carmine, the red dye from the cochineal insect. In the interest of product quality, we do use animal-based rawmaterials such as beeswax in a few cases because it improves the con-sistency of mascara or regulates the smoothness of lipstick.

MarionKracht No doubt about it, she has a talent for acting her

way into her audience’s heart: multi-faceted, rel-evant, funny and entertaining with an excellent

capacity for expression in a wide variety of genres. Withover 40 years of solid experience in the acting business,she successfully made the transition from child star inthe TV mini-series “Die Buddenbrooks” to adult actressand winner of the Goldene Kamera (“Golden Camera”)award. In 2002 Marion Kracht was awarded the GermanFederal Cross of Merit for her outstanding commitmentto helping the deaf, triggered by her theater role as Sarahin “Children of a Lesser God.” She learned sign languagespecifically for this role. Marion Kracht became especiallypopular for her role in the TV series “Diese Drombuschs.”

She is not just a well-loved TV and theater actress,however, but has also been making a name for herselfas an outstanding cook. For over 25 years now, the 51-year-old has been preparing vegetarian delicacies forherself, her husband and her two sons – and sometimeseven for strangers in other people’s kitchens: “To benefita children’s aid project, someone once paid 2,500 eurosto hire me as a chef for six persons. The guests, who werenot vegetarians, even wrote down the recipe for the veg-etarian balsamic roast with orange fennel and emmercouscous,” she recalls. Marion Kracht is not one of thosewho want to avoid meat simply because it is currentlyconsidered good social form. At home she likes to cookThai curries or, when time is limited, Indian palak paneer(spinach with paneer cheese), “but with tofu instead ofcheese,” adds the actress who now prefers a vegan dietfor reasons related to climate protection, ethics and

personal health. She is particularly fond of Indian cuisine,which was the spark that first inspired her to becomevegetarian in 1989. “It was back then in India that I sawhow magnificent a vegetarian diet could be. At thattime, the best vegetarian food one got in Germany wasa pile of unseasoned vegetables as a side dish.” Her favorite recipe, however, is her mother’s “Sauerbraten”(lit. “marinated pot roast”). “When my stomach longs forchildhood,” she says, “then I prepare it with seitan,dumplings and red cabbage. That is truly delicious.”

No matter if vegetarian or vegan –her repertoire of recipes is varied and healthy

Her expertise in preparation, composition and productsis no secret to audiences of TV cooking shows: Whether“ARD-Buffet”, “Lafer! Lichter! Lecker!”, “Promi-Dinner”(which she won), her own cooking show at VeggieWorld,Germany’s largest trade fair for vegetarians, vegans andraw food lovers, or her own cooking columns in news -papers – Marion Kracht has proven again and again howexceptionally versatile and delicious a meat-free diet canbe. All that is missing is her own vegetarian TV cookingshow. After all, an increasing number of people are looking for delicious alternatives to meat. Marion Krachtwould have good ratings, that is for sure.

Beautiful make-up accents and flatters, but onlywhen it gently brings out the best features ofthe face and does not look like a mask. High-

The summer make-up look “Voilà Paris”flatters more thanjust French women.Try this new light-ness of being.

Natural color palettes for enchantingly beautiful make-up

Summerin Paris

Like a

Tiny bistros and brasseries with awnings made ofvermillion fabric entice passers-by to linger ontheir terraces. The city’s romantic, picturesque

charm and fashion from sought-after designers suchas Sonia Rykiel, Isabel Marant or the currently hippestlabel, The Kooples, stirs longings for a sojourn in thiscosmopolitan city. When we think of Paris, however, wealso think of the beautiful French women with theirstunningly elegant sense of style. They are regarded asexperts in the “no make-up” look – natural, calm yetperfectly styled.

No matter if you are brunette or blonde or prefercool or warm tones, the color palette in the new make-up collection flatters any woman: In the powder eye-shadows, the nuances light rose, gold, green moss,mauve, mocha, stone, golden green, blue pearl, apricotand dark plum create expressive eyes. The range of lip-sticks includes a fresh, brilliant ruby hue entitled parisred as well as both warm and cool shades of red. Followthese make-up tips to easily create your own elegantyet natural summer look: Prep your face by applying alight day cream or fluid to provide the skin with opti-mum moisture. Then cover pigmentation marks, ringsunder the eyes and red patches on the sides of the noseand cheeks with the liquid concealer. It masks minorimperfections naturally using light-reflecting pigments.

Lighten the outer corners of your eyes and mouth tomake your face appear more youthful. Reduced elasticity creates shadows in these areas that make theface appear older. Work the concealer cream into theskin with a gentle patting motion until it is perfectlyblended. Then pat the foundation on as well. Now fix itin place with a loose powder: Dust the powder on witha thick brush, always moving from the top to the bottom of the face. This will prevent hairs from stickingout. The powder absorbs any oil that forms over thecourse of the day, stopping shine. At the same time, themicrofine shimmer pigments create a soft-focus effect.

Choose two colors for the eye make-up, as this givesthe eyes more depth. Apply the lighter tone, such asskin, to the moveable lid and set extra highlights underthe brow and on the inner lid. Then use the darker color,such as brown delight, just for accents: Apply along thefold of the lid and smudge upwards and outwards.Blend the colors into one another. The look can be intensified in the evening with eyeliner on the upper lidline. Apply mascara to your eyelashes. For your mouth,select a contour pencil in a natural shade that matchesthe color of your own lips. Apply the contour pencil bystarting at the corners of the mouth and moving towards the center. Apply the lipstick by starting in thecenter and working outwards. Et voilà, c’est Paris!

Research paves the way for new experiences: A fluidmake-up that supplies moisture and covers minorimperfections. That sounds logical. It has a liquid

How can a dry powder that we dust onto our fore-head, nose, cheeks and chin with a brush or powder puffcreate a silky sensation that feels almost as if the skinhad just been moisturized? “Modern powders are soultrafine that they no longer form unsightly clumps infine lines and pores. They should feel like a transparentveil made of silk,” says Guylaine Le Loarer, Head ofResearch and Development at BÖRLIND GmbH.

What does this innovation do?

The silica beads permit gradual release ofthe hyaluron to the skin, improving moisture levels as a result.

How is the silicic acid produced?

shimmer to it. Because the particles are so small,

they are able to reach the ocean though sewage treat-

ment plants where they then pollute the environment,

form deposits, are absorbed by fish and other sea

creatures and ultimately end up in our bodies when

we eat seafood.

ANNEMARIE BÖRLIND does not use anybeads made from microplastic

For many years now, researchers have been pointing

out that the increasing volume of plastic garbage is

poisoning the oceans because it does not decompose.

“No polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) is used in

our skin care products,” promises Le Loarer. “Our prod-

ucts contain ingredients such as salt from Brittany and

exfoliant particles made from jojoba nuts, bamboo or

silica.” For example, the all-important hyaluronic acid

in the new finishing powder is encapsulated in natural

silica beads and passes through their sheaths into the

skin.” The hyaluronic acid is harvested with the aid of

biotechnology, using bacteria cultures that undergo a

fermentation process. The hyaluronic acid is regarded

as especially compatible with skin because it is natu-

rally present in the body. It reforms every three days.

Their gel-like, structuring property is formed in every

cell, in tendons, ligaments, joints, mucous membranes

and connective tissue, when sugar molecules bind to

water. In addition, the gel-like hyaluronic acid trans-

ports and distributes nutrients faster in the organism

and ensures smooth, supple skin.

Unfortunately, the concentration of this rejuvenat-

ing substance decreases as we age. Excessive sun-

bathing and free radicals also have a negative effect

on hyaluronic acid levels. If one applies creams or

make-up products containing hyaluronic acid, the sub-

stance uses hydrogen bridges to bind to keratin, i.e. the

skin’s corneal layer, and thus stores moisture. That

smoothes the skin and leaves it feeling soft. In this

way, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin can be

raised to the levels present in youth. This active anti-

aging ingredient can moisturize even dry skin with a

damaged barrier layer in such a way that regenerating

and rehydrating care products can build up the barrier

layer once again. Good to know that this innovative

biotechnology combined with pearlescent pigments

can create a microfine, silky finish. That is beauty with

every stroke of the powder brush. ■

silica.” For example, the all-important hyaluronic acid

in the new finishing powder is encapsulated in natural

silica beads and passes through their sheaths into the

skin.” The hyaluronic acid is harvested with the aid of

biotechnology, using bacteria cultures that undergo a

fermentation process. The hyaluronic acid is regarded

as especially compatible with skin because it is natu-

rally present in the body. It reforms every three days.

Their gel-like, structuring property is formed in every

cell, in tendons, ligaments, joints, mucous membranes

and connective tissue, when sugar molecules bind to

water. In addition, the gel-like hyaluronic acid trans-

ports and distributes nutrients faster in the organism

and ensures smooth, supple skin.

Unfortunately, the concentration of this rejuvenat-

ing substance decreases as we age. Excessive sun-

bathing and free radicals also have a negative effect

on hyaluronic acid levels. If one applies creams or

make-up products containing hyaluronic acid, the sub-

stance uses hydrogen bridges to bind to keratin, i.e. the

skin’s corneal layer, and thus stores moisture. That

smoothes the skin and leaves it feeling soft. In this

way, the amount of hyaluronic acid in the skin can be

raised to the levels present in youth. This active anti-

aging ingredient can moisturize even dry skin with a

damaged barrier layer in such a way that regenerating

and rehydrating care products can build up the barrier

layer once again. Good to know that this innovative

biotechnology combined with pearlescent pigments

can create a microfine, silky finish. That is beauty with

every stroke of the powder brush. ■

Low-molecular

hyaluronic acid

DEEP IMPACT. On a mole-

cular level, the short-chain

hyaluronic acid works from

the inside by binding water

in the deeper layers of the

skin. It is present as a mois-

ture depot in anti-aging

creams.

Highly-molecular

hyaluronic acid

Botanical hyaluronic

acid

INSTANT IMPACT. It forms a

protective layer on the skin

by bonding to the corneal

layer and storing moisture.

Ideal for make-up products

intended to create a soft-

focus effect.

PLANT-BASED. Derived from

jelly fungus, it differs chemi-

cally from hyaluronic acid

produced using biotechno-

logy but also binds water in

the skin. It is contained in

the AQUANATURE series.

Beauty Queenon the WaterStockholm, the radiant capital city of the north, offers a relaxingvacation atmosphere

Gold-colored Renaissance-style houses that appearas if they were floating onsparkling water and whiteseagulls spiraling in the clearblue sky. When kissed awakeby the first rays of morningsunshine, Stockholm is anunforgettable sight.

The royal capital is elegantly spread across 14islands in the bays of the Baltic Sea and LakeMälaren. They are linked together by 50 bridges.

“The Venice of the north” – as it is affectionately knownto its fans. And it has many fans. That comes as no surprise: While other metropolises are filled with com-motion and noise, Stockholm has a splendidly relaxedflair. One-third of its surface area is covered by water, another third by vegetation. The full majesty of itsbeauty is best explored by water. No matter if aboardone of the romantic steamships or in a rented boat.There is lots to see and do. Thanks to it picturesque location between Lake Mälaren and the Baltic Sea, thecity is a mecca for lovers of water sports. Not to mentionits proximity to the 30,000 islands in the Stockholm archipelago, one of the most beautiful sailing spots inthe world. And in case you should fall overboard, there isno need to worry: The extremely clean water is delightfulfor a dip on the long Swedish summer days.

MAJESTIC. The Swedishroyal family resides inthis city as well.

Sailing

WHEREVER THE WIND GOES. Sailing isa popular pastime in Sweden.

TYPICAL SCENERY. Creative chalkboard menusin front of small cafés. They indicate what delicacies are available today.

Gamla Stan

SightseeingThe old downtown district Gamla Stan on the islandof Stadsholmen is perfect for nostalgic strolls. It is one of the largest and best preserved city centers in Europe. With its many small shops and cozy cafés,Gamla Stan is an ideal spot for whiling the time away.The neighboring island of Riddarholmen and the royalresidence – one of the largest palaces in the worldwith over 600 rooms – are also well worth seeing.

The Vasastan district, bustling with life and full ofsmall, offbeat shops, antiques and good food, is a hotinsider tip. Its numerous CD and record shops makeVasastan a magnet for music lovers. The former work-ing-class district of Södermalm has also undergone a

complete change of image. Buildings that once functioned as brickworks and weaving mills nowhouse artists’ studios and bars. Visitors will encountera wide variety of unusual, individual, interesting andmodern shops for clothing, design, second-handitems, furniture and hip accessories. The store calledGrandpa is a good example. Shoppers can look forward to live music from Swedish DJs while pokingthrough a charming mixture of clothing, shoes, furniture and curiosities (www.grandpa.se). This district rises sharply out of the water, offering a fantastic view of the city. SoFo, the alternative districtin Stockholm, is an absolute hot spot. It is filled withbars, restaurants and shops that you won’t find anywhere else.

No visitor to Stockholm can avoid ABBA – the cityand the group are inseparably linked. The ABBA Museum on the island of Djurgården covers morethan 2,000 square meters devoted to the history ofthe band. You can sing along with ABBA hologramsand discover treasures some of which were oncepersonal objects belonging to the band members (www.abbathemuseum.com). ❯❯

Green oasesAs soon as the winter has passed, the inhabitants ofStockholm pour outside in droves to enjoy the first raysof sunshine – and that at temperatures that would seema little cool to most of the rest of us. There is more thanenough green space for soaking up the sunshine thanksto a huge nature preserve located on 27 square kilome-ters of land in the middle of the city center. TheEkoparken is also perfect for exploring by bike.

Nature is generally very important to the inhabitantsof the city. There was good reason why Stockholm wasrecognized as Europe’s first Green Capital in 2010: for itssophisticated infrastructure system that helps to mini-mize emissions of greenhouse gases. Buses, for example,run on ethanol or biogas. The city’s objective is to becompletely independent of fossil fuels by 2050. Moreand more restaurants and cafés are seeking to protectthe environment as well. A shining example is the caféRosendals Trädgård (www.rosendalstradgard.se), locatedon the island of Djurgåden in the middle of Rosendal’sGarden. Old, gnarled apple trees, green meadows, color-ful flowers and lots of twittering birds – salads, soups,sandwiches and homemade cakes are served in thisminiature paradise. The café uses organic and biody-namic ingredients, some of which are grown in its owngarden. Residents of Stockholm are also fond of holdingweddings here. This comes as no surprise consideringthe tranquil beauty of this little patch of earth. ■

Food and drinkThe fish specialties in Stockholm, e.g. in the Sture-

hof, are an absolute must.

First, thoroughly remove all old nail polish. This should always be done moving from thenail bed to the tip of the nail, not the otherway around. Bits of leftover polish could otherwise become trapped under the cuticle.Then apply a base coat. This smoothes outthe nail and enables the colored polish to adhere better. It also protects the nail againstyellow discoloration from dark polishes. Once the base coat is completely dry, applyyour favorite color polish: Always start withone brush stroke in the middle and thenmove left and right to the edges.

What

S O S S K I NCA R E

really helpsthe feet

A balm for the feet For the most part, minor imperfections can usually be eliminated

overnight, but anyone who wants soft, callous-free feet on a long-

term basis should moisturize their feet daily. It takes about four

weeks for the effects of the treatment on the feet to become

visible, then a pumice stone is no longer necessary. The feet have

only a few sebaceous glands. As a result, the skin here rapidly be-

comes dry and cornification occurs. Special foot creams prevent

sweat, odors and foot fungus as well as promoting regeneration

of the skin. Ideally the cream should be applied generously each

evening before going to bed and then be allowed to absorb.

The cream treatment

Tips for minor emergencies A day spent in strappy sandals or high-

heeled peeptoes may result in sore spots

on your heels or between your toes

created by pressure and friction. If painful

pressure points and blisters develop, give

your feet a rest in comfortable shoes that

have already been broken in. A warm foot

bath with disinfecting sea salt and laven-

der oil will help soothe the skin. Blisters

should never be cut open. Apply a special

bandage with a gel cushion instead.

Creams with healing panthenol are ideal

once the blister has begun to subside. A

cooling foot spray and a little massage

with nourishing oils will do wonders for

tired, strained feet: Finish off by firmly

pushing the thumbs through the four

“grooves” between the toes.

Where does it hurt?

DAILY PAMPERINGSalvaCare Anti-Callus Balm with sodium salicylate, an active substancethat gently reduces callouses. Withsage, tea tree oil, panthenol and more.SalvaCare Intensive Foot Balm leavesfeet soft and silky smooth with sesame oil, jojoba oil, panthenol and shea butter. Also suitable for diabetic foot care.

Afterwards dry your feet well, especially between

your toes. This prevents foot fungus. If calloused skin is

still left on the balls of the feet, heels or toes, it can be

gently rubbed off with a special foot file. Be careful,

though. If you remove too much even more will grow

back. When shortening the nails, it is best to use nail

scissors to cut them straight across, not round and not

too short so that the nail cannot grow into the skin.

Then file the nails in the direction of growth. That seals

the cut edges.

Before moisturizing your feet you can spray them

with rose water, for example. That has a moisturizing

effect as well. Rose water is also an ideal companion

for summer shopping trips when feet quickly become

tired and swollen. Now massage in a foot cream or

body oil, put your feet up, let the moisture absorb

and voilà ■

What

S O S S K I NCA R E

really helpsthe feet

A balm for the feet For the most part, minor imperfections can usually be eliminated

overnight, but anyone who wants soft, callous-free feet on a long-

term basis should moisturize their feet daily. It takes about four

weeks for the effects of the treatment on the feet to become

visible, then a pumice stone is no longer necessary. The feet have

only a few sebaceous glands. As a result, the skin here rapidly be-

comes dry and cornification occurs. Special foot creams prevent

sweat, odors and foot fungus as well as promoting regeneration

of the skin. Ideally the cream should be applied generously each

evening before going to bed and then be allowed to absorb.

The cream treatment

Tips for minor emergencies A day spent in strappy sandals or high-

heeled peeptoes may result in sore spots

on your heels or between your toes

created by pressure and friction. If painful

pressure points and blisters develop, give

your feet a rest in comfortable shoes that

have already been broken in. A warm foot

bath with disinfecting sea salt and laven-

der oil will help soothe the skin. Blisters

should never be cut open. Apply a special

bandage with a gel cushion instead.

Creams with healing panthenol are ideal

once the blister has begun to subside. A

cooling foot spray and a little massage

with nourishing oils will do wonders for

tired, strained feet: Finish off by firmly

pushing the thumbs through the four

“grooves” between the toes.

Where does it hurt?

DAILY PAMPERINGSalvaCare Anti-Callus Balm with sodium salicylate, an active substancethat gently reduces callouses. Withsage, tea tree oil, panthenol and more.SalvaCare Intensive Foot Balm leavesfeet soft and silky smooth with sesame oil, jojoba oil, panthenol and shea butter. Also suitable for diabetic foot care.

Afterwards dry your feet well, especially between

your toes. This prevents foot fungus. If calloused skin is

still left on the balls of the feet, heels or toes, it can be

gently rubbed off with a special foot file. Be careful,

though. If you remove too much even more will grow

back. When shortening the nails, it is best to use nail

scissors to cut them straight across, not round and not

too short so that the nail cannot grow into the skin.

Then file the nails in the direction of growth. That seals

the cut edges.

Before moisturizing your feet you can spray them

with rose water, for example. That has a moisturizing

effect as well. Rose water is also an ideal companion

for summer shopping trips when feet quickly become

tired and swollen. Now massage in a foot cream or

body oil, put your feet up, let the moisture absorb

and voilà ■

Thank you for your travel tips! Marlen W., via e-mail I really enjoyed reading the

unusual tips on Dubai in the

last issue of “natural woman.”

In particular, I was positively

surprised that the luxury oasis is

now offering its inhabitants and

European expats and tourists

organic foods in special organic

cafés, as well as natural cosmetics.

TIP

What can I do to protect my hairwhile straightening it?Tatjana S., via e-mail That always depends on how frequently you

use a straightening iron. Anyone who

straightens their natural curls into silky

smooth tresses more often then twice a

month should make sure to use sufficient

heat protection. One especially important
