I really find it stimulating to snap pictures, create situations and do still lifes. With a view like the one I have from my hill, everything is so much easier! Scheduling a photo course for the fall, to learn some more about the technical aspects.

Today I offer on the menu some beauty advice, because even if you don’t use a lot of makeup in the summer, the cleansing, hydrating and the nourishing of your skin shouldn’t be forgotten in the summer lazy mode. Of course the number one rule is to drink a lot of water! If you drink like a camel, you’re on right track, and your skin will show the difference! To remove my eyemakeup (yeah, i might look all natural, but I rarely leave the house without some correction, a hint of blush, eyelashcurler (an obsession) and a touch of gloss. Makeup should be used to hide imperfections and enhance your beauty, it shouldn’t be a mask, the less you can see that you’re wearing makeup,  the better!) I use the Chanel Demaquillant yeux intense, but sometimes for heavier eyemakeup, olive oil does the trick! I then use the Lait confort and the tonic Eau Douceur (that I regularly forget 9 times out of 10…). After getting introduced to the Hydra Beauty serum, I cannot do without it, applying it before my regular face cream. A great product for puffy eyes and black circles is the Beauté initiale eye, luckily in the summer there’s less need for that!

For a less glamorous subject, but essential in the summer, the deodorant! After searching the globe for the right one, I finally found it: the Deo Crystal, in liquid or solid shape, without perfume. It’s a lifesaver! We make the small bags of lavender in this period, bringing them to the city for a perfumed summer memory, or giving them away, always an appreciated gift. That’s all folks! fili
