Hydragenist by Lierac

Lierac

As I get closer to thirty, my skin has different needs. It is always thirsty for hydration, and some of us automatically think of anti aging products when our skin demands a mixture of products that will make feel and look radiant and hydrated. Today, I’d like to share with you one of my all time favourite face products: HYDRAGENIST by Lierac. I fell in love with the packaging at first, but you will tell me that’s not enough (you will understand when you see the cute pink pots, so cute!). Then, I tested both the texture and the smell which represents well the cream itself. A soothing perfume of fresh roses and white flowers that I immediately loved: it is both fresh and delicate. At last, HYDRAGENIST is launching a new line of four products for different needs that target different needs including pulping the skin. The hydrating aquabaum SOS destined to drier more mature skin types, the hydrating cream is targeting women with dry to very dry skin type, the hydrating serum is ideal to provide a boost of hydration and lastly, the gel-cream is best for dry to mixed skin types. The last two products are my favourites, especially the gel-cream which contains rice powder that creates a mattifying long-lasting effect.

PS: New line will be released on august 10th

Day to Night maternity dress

Thyme Maternity

I’ve always been exited to have a pregnancy tummy but I’ve never realized that it could be this hard to dress up as I wish to! When the only thing I had to do was leaving my jeans button open, it’s easy, but when you have to take measures such as leaving the pants bracket wide open, it is a bit more challenging! You always have to wear a top that is long and wide enough to cover up the pants situation. And then, there is the issue with the tops that are no longer available or that are too short. In conclusion, I had to find something comfortable to wear, and I needed it like…yesterday!
Perfect timing! I was able to discover one of those rare boutiques that I know off that offers maternity clothing. You can find everything: something for the office, stylish and adapted jeans, cute everyday little dresses, ect. I have chosen a small selection of clothing pieces that I will share with you within the following weeks on my Instagram page. Here, I am wearing a dress that I instantly loved because I can picture it worn chic or as an everyday attire. It can also be worn after pregnancy. Thyme Maternity

Vegan proteins in a bar

Why am I sharing with you this protein bar when I don’t even workout? Actually, let’s blame it on the pregnancy for the lack of exercise. Otherwise, I am the type of person that likes eating many small meals throughout the day rather than big meals. I also love snaking and I appreciate having something nutritious on the go. I usually leave the house in a hurry and I am always moving around so I make sure to keep a bottle of water and a cereal bar in my bag.
A couple of days ago, I tried out this new brand of barres called “fermented vegan proteins +” by Genuine Health. Added to the fact that I don’t consume much protein during the day, these barres contain vegetalian protein that fill out the deficit in my diet (13g of protein per portion). The protein used are fermented and the advantage is that it facilitates digestion, it boosts the immune system and eliminate toxins present within many food items. I admit that being pregnant, I pay extra attention to what I consume so I guarantee you that these passed many personal tests . For those of you interested in knowing more about this brand (because they offer an array of products not only limited to bars) I will let you explore their website which is full of information and enlightening videos.

Multi-purpose dry oil – Nuxe

Nuxe

Our skin is in constant need for hydration, and it is more than usual the case during summer, especially when we are exposed to direct sun, that we are pregnant and want to avoid stretch marks. This amazing body oil from Nuxe is a certified favorite of mine: I use it as a hydrating oil after sun exposure and I also use it on my hair. It is of course part of the essentials that I brought with me to my little escape in Miami. No need to keep 5 different lotions when one can do the job outstandingly (or should I say the jobs)! What I also love about this oil is it’s delicious sent. I also enjoyed playing with the shimmery version (which gives the same effect but adds a glamorous look to the skin) by applying it in the beach to my chest or legs when wearing a dress or shorts.
