Collagen powder : a tasteless health & beauty supplement
January 16, 2021
When it comes to superfoods and sprinkling some good stuff on top of food or beverages, taste is a MASSIVE deal breaker. I do want to pack nutrition and vitamins, but do I want to sacrifice the beautiful taste of my morning coffee ? Not so sure.
But here comes collagen powder.
What is collagen ?

How to add it to your diet ?
Why is collagen powder good for you ?
Collagen is responsible for the health of your skin, but can't be absorbed and used by the skin itself : the molecules are simply too big, that's why taking it orally is best way to go. Those collagen anti-aging creams are not worth it ; you want to pack on the moisture and nourishing properties when it comes to anti-aging skincare (with a side of antioxidants), but if you want to do your skin a favor, simply add one or two scoops of collagen powder to one of your daily beverages !
I linked a couple products below, but you can find it pretty much anywhere : health stores like Whole Foods, iHerb, supplement shops and even Amazon. Just make sure you pick a grass-fed or organic option :)

Charcoal sticks : design & eco-friendly water filters
December 17, 2020
If you're looking to purify your water without having to invest in an ugly and/or expensive water-filter device, those charcoal sticks ARE the perfect option.
The best leave-in haircare products for fine hair
November 15, 2020
With my long, fine and sun-bleached blond locks, having a team of trusted allies to keep them alive is non-negotiable. Hair masks and overnight treatments are mandatory, but I usually use those pre-shampoo and rely on leave-in products post shower. The challenge here is to nourish and moisturize, without weighing it down. Here are my top products !
Fall2020 trend : leather

As fall is officially setting in, new trends are appearing in stores, inspired from the catwalks. Here is the the first one I spotted, and I can say : I'm VERY excited about it !

Clinique Pop splash lip gloss in Sorbet pop
In a desperate attempt to stop bitting my lips and a desire to actually start playing with lipstick again, I went for this lipgloss to add a bit of shine and a barely-there splash of color...AND HOLY CRAP. Say hello to plump, moisturized, healthy lips !
It was awarded in 2019 by Allure as Best Beauty and I can clearly understand why : to me, it's the best lipgloss out there. It truly feels unique in terms of comfort ! It's also non-sticky, very moisturizing with the perfect amount of sheen. If you like lip glosses, you HAVE to try this one.
This shade is an effortless pink nude that is the exact color of my lips, but I'd be very curious to try some bolder colors.

Alima Pure mineral pressed foundation in Teak

Zoeva Concealer buffer brush

The Ordinary Hemi-squalane

Neroli essential oil
It smells AMAZING.
Pick your favorite base oil (in doubt, use jojoba since it's the closest to the oil our skins produce) and add a couple drops of neroli essential oil to it. I'd add one or two drops if it's for the face, probably something like five if it's for the body (both for 100ml).
It has great soothing properties, makes you feel good and smells so nice you'll actually be tempted to skip putting perfume on !

Hope you liked this selection !
Spring things
April 25, 2020 Toronto, ON, Canada
Spring has basically been virtual in Toronto this year. Because of this, I thought creating a moodboard of things that inspire me for this season would be more than welcome ! Tiny gems which will make you feel like spring just found its way into your home. Hope you'll like it <3
Flowy blouse - Mango
The pattern, the light fabric, the color...Everything about it screams spring, flowers blooming, romance and poetry. When a piece of clothing brings me so much inspiration, I have a hard time resisting : I feel like I'm buying a book in which I'll be the main character. It's inspiration for me to write a new story that I'd be telling you through pictures.
60 US$ - 36 € - 70 CAD$
Makeup brushes - Sephora x Sezane
The cutest makeup brushes I have ever seen, by far.I love how daily objects, when they are really pretty and/or hold a special place in your heart can brighten up your day each time you use them or lay eyes on them. Those would make any bathroom shelf the cutest thing ever !
Available on Sephora.fr only (Sezane is a small French fashion brand)
40EUR
Magic Luminizer - RMS Beauty
Glow, glow, glow.Currently very obsessed with any liquidy, creamy or balmy texture so this highlighter was definitely a must-have. I love how buildable and seemingless it is ; no cheap glittery effect or risk of overdoing it. I have the Living Luminizer (the first one the brand released) which has a more of a white/pearly shimmer, but I feel like the Magic luminizer with its beige tones would look more natural and give a slight sunkissed look.
38 US$
White baggy jeans - Zara
I love when a statement piece of the season is one that is effortless to wear, therefore loose white jeans are a blessing ! I love how they look modern, classy and classic when worn with design shoes like leather loafers or sandals. Comfortable, stylish AND effortless ? I'm in !40USD - 30EUR - 46CAD
Gold window mirror - H&M home
There's no such thing as having too many mirrors in my opinion, considering how much they brighten up a room and make a space appear bigger ! I really like the window-inspired design and gold accents of that one.Beige planter - H&M home
Another thing that reminds me of France I guess, whether it's the clay plangters from Anduze we have in our gardens in the South or the big jars that you can see in the Louvre at the Galerie des orangers, I am very much in love with that planter. While we try to stand away from plants for now since we know there will be a moving in perspective, I would love to use it in our bathroom as a toothbrush jar/holder in the meantime !Wood lantern - Structube
Somewhere between design and island vibes, it would look great on our dresser or on the floor in a corner of our bedroom where I stack books and canvas.29CAD
Divine Duo Lip&cheek in shade 'b.lovely' - lilah b.
A beautiful cream multitasker with one of the cutest and designed packaging I've ever seen ! The color is a beautiful desaturated nude with warm tones, perfect for a sunkissed effect / bring a dash of color on the apple of the cheeks.With a clean composition, always.
46USD
ope you liked this selection and that it brought you some sweet spring vibes !
