House tour and inspiring readings

First of all, let me offer you a free virtual aesthetic (or makeup!) consultation, today! Hélène, an esthetician at MJ Charlesbourg, mentioned that she has openings all day long! Click here

Then, here (see the film here) is a tour of the house & our essentials, all inclusive (beauty, food, cleaning):

-bedroom: at bedtime, Jonathan and I can't do without Rêverie as a skin perfume and Respire bien sprayed above us; in the morning, I leave the sheets open to put Le purifier on them (also very useful on bathroom sheets, rugs, sports equipment, yoga mats, inside shoes, etc.)

-bathroom: I scrape my tongue (oh the beautiful new thing! our copper tongue scraper ) then mouthwash (with sesame oil and 90 drops of fresh breath ); while continuing my mouthwash, dry brushing of the body (you also have here my hair and face brush ), Patchouli (body and hair - before washing them, I coat them with silky and lemon balm combined) in the shower then my morning beauty ritual (cleansing oil, rose water, aloe gel, lotus, neutral serum - see below the steps); Sapin hand soap

-for a quick and joyful cleaning of the toilet bowl (or any other surface): with Bohemian Patchouli or room fragrance of your choice (Protecteur for example) and a drop of purifying formula (my essential cleaning product for 18 years now)

-when getting dressed: geranium deodorant on rose (and I like “cold and flu solution” in drops in my wardrobe)

- mouthwash finished, I continue on an empty stomach with essential fibers (details in my routine below)

-then smoothie and/or my paid drink: complete, COLLAGEN (quickly becoming essential, for you too as the results are so impressive), TCM oil in a base of juice diluted with water - salad for lunch and dinner

-at lunchtime I take supplements (except magnesium which I take in the evening)

-at the entrance to the house: the Orient perfume for the shoes (Childhood Memories in the car; Pomelo in the kitchen with the Grapefruit soap) and May Treats on the carpet before the children arrive; I diffuse patchouli in my diffuser in the other rooms of the house

-on my makeup table, I have everything: moisturizer, fluid and radiance complexion, HD powder, Sol luna, tape à l'oeil, cheek to cheek, our brushes (and their cleanser) and pencils; complexion water

-at hand: soothing formula for everyday aches and pains

-before going outside: vanilla shea butter with zinc or phytobalm

-outside: tranquility solution and ti-chou (for children and it's also my favorite) on the skin and in the hair; and summer spray around us

-after sun exposure: rose or neroli serum on the face, After-Sun on the body, I also put it on my children

There you have it! The idea is not to have it all, but you have the choice: start with food (or superfoods and supplements) to gain well-being, or with an “addictive” beauty ritual (because it is composed around pure essential oils) that enhances the skin or with homemade essentials (bar or liquid soap for hands, body gel, shampoo OR purifying formula and wash as healthy and effective sanitizers OR our simple room fragrances and synergies to diffuse that will take you on a journey) or with a bedtime ritual, or with a beautiful habit like dry brushing (otherwise we have exfoliants) and oil pulling....
For our part, we use everything, we have asked for everything, wishing for the best in order to live and surround ourselves, to envelop ourselves.

If I travel, here are the essentials I bring with me (which makes a great starter kit):
the complete set (superfoods) and my skin quartet (you could substitute the aloe gel for the enhancer)

In all simplicity, here are the steps of my beauty ritual :
1-I clean with cleansing oil, I rinse
2-I moisturize with floral water then aloe and lotus gel*
3-I seal with serum** and massage the wrinkles
*The hyaluronic acid then pumps the gel
**the serum (100% anti-aging active ingredients) works in depth

Extremely simple routine too (which makes life so much lighter and easier, no matter where you are) foods and superfoods :
1-I start with essential fibers; I follow with smoothie and/or my "paid drink" (complete, collagen, MCT)
2-lunch and dinner, I start with my gourmet salad (or a combination of raw vegetables on hand)
3-I take all our supplements ( I have asked our health specialists since 2013 which ones to favor and why to develop this basic kit )

In brief :

• Oh how you will enjoy this live broadcast with Manon ;
• I published some tips for getting a tan without going in the sun :

-a serum rich in carotenes as a base gives a healthy tanned complexion
-then we continue with “radiance of the complexion”
-we warm up with the bronzer and the illuminator in shades (hello Sol luna which combines the two) as much for the complexion as for the eyes and tadam
