At Mondo Kaos, we value our customers very much. That's why we often do Giveaways, where you can win a lot of different wonderful things and cases from Mondo Kaos. This time we had teamed up with two other local companies, namely 'Herbal Salvation' which sells delicious skin care, and 'Heaps Good' Café.
The giveaway took place on Instagram and the prize this time was two gift cards of DKK 1000 each for Mondo Kaos, two gift cards of DKK 500 each for Herbal salvation and coffee & cake at 'Heaps Good' Café. To participate, you had to write who you wanted to share this prize with, and the two lucky winners were friends Laura & Astrid.
We were lucky enough to be allowed to follow them for a whole day as they went out to redeem the various gift cards - and it was super nice.
First stop: Favorite store Mondo Kaos.
Laura and Astrid had started the day with a wonderful breakfast, to stabilize their blood sugar, before a wild day of shopping and then it was off to both of their favorite dress shops, Mondo Kaos. They were greeted by Line and Cecilie, who were ready to help them with whatever they needed.
And wow, where did it go. There was activity in the fitting room and spirits were high, even if Astrid had a slight hangover. But there is nothing that cures a hangover and lifts the mood like a shopping trip in Mondo Kaos. Countless dresses, shorts and tops were tried on. After a few hours in the store, they were both ready to leave the store with full bags, which among other things contained beautiful shorts and summer dresses from House of foxy and a lot of other beautiful things from the hangers in Mondo Kaos.
With full bags, the trip then went on to Herbal Salvation.
'Herbal Salvation' - Don't we know each other?
'Herbal Salvation' produces organic body care and salves from hand-picked wild Danish herbs. All products are handmade from start to finish and only hand-picked, wild herbs from the Danish nature, as well as organic and fair trade ingredients are used. Ria, who owns the company, is a regular customer at Mondo Kaos and it was therefore with great pleasure that she wanted to participate in our give-away.
When we arrive at the shop, Ria is not at work, but her sweet colleague Stephanie is, who is a jeweler and co-owner of their shop 'Guld og Urt'.
It is the first time Astrid and Laura are in the store and they know nothing about 'Herbal Salvation', but from the moment they enter the store, they are greeted by the most wonderful scent and it doesn't take long before they are curious about everyone the fine products. Stephanie is incredibly good at explaining how the various products work, so that both Laura and Astrid are comfortable with the products they choose from Herbal Salvation. Along the way, Laura and Stephanie find out that they actually went to the same post-secondary school many years ago and the nostalgia comes flooding back. Laura and Astrid leave Herbal Salvation with a lot of delicious products: including a wonderful face cream, avocado butter and some wonderful oils.

Heaps Good Cafe – Without food and drink, the hero will not do.
After many hours of shopping and great experiences, it was about time to end a perfect day with some delicious food and drink. The trip went to Heaps Good Cafe on Femmarksgade. Heaps Good Cafe is owned by Australian Anika Wilson, who has created a beautiful little oasis with the nicest coffee, wonderful meals and fantastic cakes. Everything is made by hand and all dishes have a little twist of Australia, in its own unique way.
The cafe is decorated with cross stitch, fun vintage objects and lots of other personal items. Although the cafe is small, it never gets boring to visit, because you always find something new to look at. Laura and Astrid first got the most delicious summer lemonade, as well as a lunch which was big enough to fill them up, and which Astrid referred to as the perfect weapon against hangovers. Finally, a cup of coffee and delicious cake. Both Astrid and Laura both agreed that it is certainly not the last time they visit 'Heaps Good Cafe' to have a delicious lunch, like nowhere else in Copenhagen.

After a long and lovely day, the two friends headed home. Now it had to be for fun and movies, and not least all the nice new clothes and delicious creams that had to be tried again.
Many thanks to Laura and Astrid for letting us follow them on their trip through Nørrebro and the wonderful little shops and cafes.
What a lovely day ❤️.
Loving greetings,
Stine, Mondo Kaos ♥
