These days I am more aware of the time passing by than I have ever been before. I had the impression that yesterday was Monday, but it’s already the end of the week, and time is so fleeting. The only constant these days is how much time I have been devoting to taking care of myself. It has become part of the routine to mask and to take the time to apply all the creams and serums ...
Lately I have focused my attention towards my hair because I felt it dryer than normal and more damaged―partly because of the fact that it's been a hotter summer than normal, and partly because of the chlorine water of the pool and the salty water from the sea.
These past summer days, I have been lounging around reading Find Me by André Aciman, the author of Call me By your Name. Contrary to what everyone expected, he wrote on twitter: “I would actually love a sequel to Call Me By Your Name. In fact I am writing one.”
I am not usually interested in what is new in the beauty market, but would rather know everything about what is best. Figuring out which combination of products works for my skin is still a work in progress. My skincare routine always starts with a thorough cleansing process and then applying layers of products from the lightest to heaviest.
When it comes to my hair, the most important part about my haircare routine is to make me feel good. My hair has the power to make me feel confident and there are so many factors involved in achieving great hair: shine, strength, thickness; more volume; less frizz ...
When I first arrived in France, I took le métro every morning and one thing that drew my attention often, was how effortless French girls and women were about their hair ...
This year has begun with conversations on all the social platforms about age and and how to gracefully embrace ageing. Chanel ambassadrice, Caroline de Maigret, published her second book, Older, but Better, but Older, on this very topic ...
Last year I talked a lot about my favourite products here. I am happy to have finalised the list of products that really make a difference in my routine. I’ve already mentioned a few of them before, but there are few other areas in my life ...
Even if the internet is full of gift ideas, there is still some place left for more inspiration. This shopping list is dedicated to those who have a beloved one who really cares about skin.
I have been obsessing (perhaps a bit too much lately) over perfect skin. I have drastically changed my lifestyle lately and I have seen only good results. Starting in September, I began a strict sleeping schedule.
I have been conducting personal research on some beauty products and was reminded of growing up believing that there was only a single brand for skincare, and that it worked for every type of skin and issue. This single brand, of course, was the classic Nivea.
Summer holidays is the best skincare that could possibly exist―not only are our bodies are more relaxed and rested, but spending these summer days with bare skin without any makeup (at least in my case) gets me to my best complexion.
ONCE READ AN ARTICLE about over-tourism in Thailand, and about how entire beaches had to be closed to give them time to recuperate due to the fact that their coral reefs were on the brink of dying. And a contributor to this problem is sunscreen, (along with above-average sea water temperatures caused by global warming and other factions)...
Ask a model what her beauty secret is and she’ll tell you it’s all about drinking water (and a handful of products that she will share--eventually--with you).
On my constant quest for a better complexion, I dream of the day when I will be able to get to work without using make up and not be asked by everyone if I am alright or having a bad day.
