Beauty begins the moment you decide to be yourself - Coco Chanel

Morning

  1. Comb out hair
  2. Brush teeth
  3. Wash face and eyes: splash cold water on face 7 times (ayurvedic ritual), gently massaging skin with fingertips
  4. Gently pat skin and dry with a clean towel (without rubbing)
  5. Gently dab with a tissue (hard water), pressing to absorb the excess, and blow nose (can prevent sinus infections and mucus building)
  6. Mist lightly to the face and holding 9 secs
  7. Warm a few drops of oil in hand and apply it to the face and neck, focusing on drier areas and lips
  8. Apply eye contour cream, slightly tapping around the eyes
  9. Apply day cream (and cold weather balm, if needed)
  10. Apply sun cream if needed (non-nano)
  11. Comb hair and get dressed
  12. Apply translucent powder, if needed
  13. And if really needed, apply makeup => Makeup ritual
  14. I avoid perfume (which is a complex cocktail of synthetic chemicals, like phthalates...); even natural and organic perfumes: the scent can be overwhelming and unpleasant for those around us, especially, in crowded places such as public transportation or enclosed spaces; so take in consideration others around us, those who are sensitive to fragrance chemicals

  2. Wash hands
  3. Brush teeth + dental floss
  4. Wet and wash face with soap

  7. Mist lightly to the face and holding 9 secs
  8. Warm a few drops of oil in hand and apply it to the face and neck, focusing on drier areas and lips
  9. Apply eye contour cream (if needed), slightly tapping around the eyes
  10. Apply night cream (and cold weather balm, if needed)
  11. Take a shower (just before bed)
  12. Come out of the shower in my favourite bathrobe
  13. On skin damp, apply oil and/or body lotion, focusing on hands and feet at the end

Hair => Shampoo ritual

  1. Brush hair to carefully detangle it
  2. Mix water and shampoo in a cup
  3. Wet hair with warm water and apply shampoo and massage onto scalp (with fingertips) and throughout hair
  4. Brush hair to detangle it again
  5. Rinse off while brushing to detangle it
  6. If needed, apply conditioner and brush to distribute the product evenly

Sautéed potatoes, Grandma's way

Image
If you don't like potatoes, you cannot be trusted I love starchy food , cereal grains and some root vegetables.  I love potato : air fryer or oven chips, baked, Dauphinoise, curry, mash, roasted, salad,... and of course sautéed, very easy and simple. Potatoes, one of the most versatile vegetables, provide essential nutrients like fibre, vitamins (vitamin C, B6...), and minerals (potassium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium...). Ingredients 1 tbsp grapeseed or rapseed oil * 2 potatoes, cut into rings each, about 5 mm salt, pepper 1 garlic clove, minced herbs, finely chopped (chives, or parsley or thyme) Preparation Heat the oil in a large frying pan, add the potatoes and fry over a medium-high heat, turning them occasionally until they begin to brown.  The edges are crispy. Then add pepper, parsley, and stir for a few seconds. *  I'm going to stop using olive oil : first, it is more and more expensive and above all,  olive oil scams  are proliferating if it is not...
