Marvel of the holistic cosmetic industry filled with antioxidants, “L’Eau de Sourcellerie” is a NATURAL alternative to synthetic fragrances. In my desire to minimize my use of artificial cosmetics, I started to wear it during  pregnancy.

It is an aromatic elixir with powdery notes of myrtle, almond and patchouli. It does not just smell good. In fact, it is said to have soothing and beneficial properties. It perfumes for hours, all that without a drop of alcohol! It smoothes my hair ends, softens my skin while leaving behind me an hypnotic scent. Combine care and olfactory pleasure ? Done !

To me, blush in its primary function is to accentuate something possible. Whether it’s to simulate a healthy glow, rosy cheeks or the exaltation, blush is some kind of happiness in a box.

I’ve never had rosy cheeks. Not after a good sleep night nor after a race behind a bus, not even when I’m intimidated. Due to my complexion, my healthy glow manifests itself more broadly. I’m having a narrower pore, a fresher eye, but fire on my cheeks? Never!

I relegated to the closet reds, magentas, the iridescent shiny stuffs. I keep them for special occasions. It does not correspond to a possible reality for me. It does not emphasize anything; it invents any part of it. In itself, it might not be a problem, but to me, blush is not really about that. And I feel that even by blending the color to the maximum, there’s still something dissonant which clashes with the rest.

On the picture, my favorite blushes, because they all correspond to a sample of something naturally occurring on my skin. Purple in affinity with the shadows on my face, ocher to keep me warm and orange to brighten the gloomy mornings.

I don’t really care about thinness, which is why I easily accommodated myself with the changes initiated by my mysterious passenger. In reality, it is not really part of my aesthetic imperatives (so to speak at all). My thing to me is more firmness and tone. For more than a quarter of a century it has not been a concern, but lately, there’s been a change and I’m gonna need a little boost…

January 1st 2013, this blog had 3 years. As it goes fast! So much absences, so much happiness that I did not see it coming.

The year that has elapsed marked me forever. I am more patient, cheerful and positive than before. It had not happened for a long time. Long months of expectation, then the ensuing encounter, the most important of my life, helped reform my way of thinking, and make this year the most rewarding to date. This is super cool and I really want to continue this momentum.

And so here I wish you all a wonderful 2013, filled with joy and light! And do not ever stop dreaming. Any concrete realization houses its roots in the imagination.

Love and kisses

After a few weeks of intense emotions, told myself it was time to say hello.

I mothered, I merged and abandonned myself to my new role… A role that I envision with great solemnity, and therefore takes a lot of time. Now, I need to reconnect with my passions, my hobbies, and this blog among other things one of them!

These past few weeks have been rich in new experiences. Something inconceivable to me until recently, I almost abandoned all my aesthetic considerations with a disconcerting indifference to who know me a minimum.

But I became a mom, and this is by far the best thing that ever happened to me.
