I have a thing for beautiful lingerie. Maybe it’s my Franco-American upbringing but beautiful lingerie is something I’ve always loved. There’s just something special about wearing lingerie. No matter how I feel whenever I slip into something feminine, sometimes lacy, it just helps me to feel more confident and put together! It’s a simple self-care […]

Have you heard of the Gua Sha stone? This 2,000-year-old Chinese tradition has quickly become one of my favorite skincare rituals.

Note: this massage technique can be used […]

If you’ve ever ordered une tarte aux fraises (strawberry tart) or, as we say in my family, a strawberry tarte, you’ll notice they’re often filled with a buttery crème pâtissière (pastry cream).  Personally, I’ve never loved this custard-like filling – not sure why, just a personal preference. Which is such a shame as la crème […]

For years I’ve been feeling a tug to slow down, to remove distractions, to be more present.  It’s not as though I’ve been completely “unpresent” or haven’t been enjoying my life but, deep down, something always felt out of balance, off kilter. I was moving at a pace that just didn’t feel sustainable for me […]

Our hormones ebb and flow each week, rising and falling, cycling like the seasons, month after month. And, whether we like it or not, these hormonal fluctuations impact our mood, energy levels, appetite, brain, and so much more!

There are so many different ways you can prepare and enjoy carrots and beetroots. But one of my favorite ways to enjoy these root veggies is shredded and in a fresh salad.  Growing up this carrot and beetroot salad often made its way onto my little plate. Truth be told, looking back I wonder if […]

Is sunscreen part of your everyday skincare routine? If it’s not, maybe it’s time to consider adding it to your morning repertoire. While conventional sunscreen is better than no sunscreen at all, I personally prefer using non toxic sunscreen brands whenever possible. Bonus if its packaged in eco-friendly materials, too.   Below I’ve included  a list […]
