    My Favourite Addresses in Rouen: Spas, Restaurants, Small Businesses

    After 2.5 months in Rouen, we appreciate this city more or less. It is only 1h15 by train from Paris, people are 10 times nicer, everything is 5-10 minutes walk away… there are many small shops, conscientious specialized doctors (with easy appointment). Here are my favorite addresses (completed also by the owner of my Airbnb in Rouen). Rituals from Elsewhere Address: 17 Rue des Arsins, 76000 RouenGoogle MapsWebsite: http: //www.rituelsdailleurs.fr/ I should have tried other spas in Rouen, but I like this spa so much that I frankly didn’t feel like going anywhere else. They use the whole range of the “Charme d’Orient” brand, based on argan oil. Their oil…

    Cosmetics to buy in the United States and where to buy

    Today, I bring you to discover some of the cosmetic brands to bring back during your trip from the United States. Don’t hesitate to complete the list as a comment, because I’m much less expert on North American products than on Asian cosmetics 😀 (less expert but able to write 3000 words, dixit JB) Please note: all prices displayed in stores or on sites are always EXCLUDING TAX. You have to count about 7% more taxes, unless you are in one of the 4 following states: Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire and Oregon Where to buy cosmetics / beauty products? In drugstores & pharmacies: CVS, Ulta Beauty, Duane Reade… i liked…

    Cosmetics to buy in Canada and where to buy

    Today, I bring you to discover some of the top Canadian (or non-Canadian) cosmetic brands to bring back on your trip from Canada. Some natural products were recommended to me by Karen, who has been living in Quebec for several years (thank you very much) This list will certainly evolve, so a tip to choose THE product to buy is to look for the “look” logo in the stores. If they are on the “allure awards” list, you can buy them with your eyes closed. You will see that in this list, there are a lot of skin care products (more than make-up) because skin care products in America are,…

    [Test & Reviews] The Best Face Care & Spas in Lisbon (Portugal)

    Today, I bring you to discover the best facials & spas (which I have personally tested) in Lisbon. To know that they are the best in the city, I simply trusted the hundreds of reviews left here and there on the Internet and tested them myself 😀 Why is it interesting to do a facial in Lisbon? (or in Portugal in general) ? Because the same treatment, of the same quality, would have cost +50% or even twice as much in France. You can therefore treat yourself to luxury treatments without (too) breaking your PEL. Note: for those of you traveling around the world of spas, I have written similar…

    Cosmetics to buy in Morocco. Where to buy them in Marrakech & Essaouira

    I haven’t bought cosmetics from Japan! But when we arrived in Morocco 2 months ago, my skin screamed for help. My creams from Japan did not moisturize enough. It is much too dry in Morocco. Oh what a pity! We’ ll have to test the local cosmetics 😀 I tested a lot of them so I thought you might be interested. In this article, I will give you my best addresses in Marrakech, and especially in Essaouira, where I spent 2 months. Where to buy cosmetics? Especially not in the souk! Even if Morocco is a producer of argan oil, the quality of the argan oil sold in the souk…

    Test & Reviews: Face care at Caudalie Boutique Spa in Paris (France)

    This post is NOT sponsored After reading the book by the creator of the Caudalie brand (a bestseller across the Atlantic), I wanted to test their facial care in one of their spas in France. I have already bought their products, they don’t convince me 100%, but there are very good reviews on their spa so I made an appointment for a 50mn treatment. I have chosen Caudalie Boutique Spa rue des Abbesses because I had professional appointments not far away. By booking online (here), I get a discount: a facial at 56€ instead of 80€. Already, I love the neighborhood, but moreover the store is super nice (I put…

    Where to buy cosmetics in Seoul (South Korea)? What to bring back from South Korea?

    Article updated on June 3, 2020 The base Before shopping for Korean cosmetics in Seoul, you should first familiarize yourself with the concept of Korean layering. Here, the products are more liquid than the products used in France so the complete routine that a Korean woman who respects herself is between 9 and 11 steps (like Japanese women).

    Which cosmetics to buy in Japan? Where to buy them? (2020)

    After a month and a half in Japan, I must tell you one thing: Japanese women have really beautiful skin (even without makeup, their skin is flawless). It’s not only genetic, the many cosmetic stores and statistics prove that Japanese women spend a lot of money in facial care. And their products are really effective. Where to buy Japanese cosmetics in Japan? You can buy most cosmetic products at “drugstores” such as Matsumoto Kiyoshi, Seijo,K Port Drug Mart, Sundrug, Kokumin… You can also find them at Darty’s equivalents, such as Big Camera, Tokyu Hands… It is better to buy the most expensive brands like SK-II, Shiseido from “department stores” like…

    My Fav massages, facials thermal baths, hammam and cosmetic stores in Seville (Spain)

    Having been a stress of life, I have gotten into the habit, since I have a salary, of going regularly to an institute to relax: massage, sauna, hamma, facial care… I love it! Now that stress is no longer a permanent state for me, I still continue to be pampered, even when I’m travelling around the world In general, I’m used to going to institutes run by Asians: the prices are softer, and the massages are often more energetic and more precise (the acupuncture points all that, it’s no joke). However, the Asian population in Seville is close to nothing, so we’ll go to the local institutes instead. I warn…

    My Dr. Hauschka Facial at Maison Hauschka in Paris

    After being won over by the Dr. Hauschka Purifying Care Set, I took advantage of my stay in Paris to offer me and my sister the famous Dr. Hauschka Plenitude Care… at the Maison Dr. Hauschka. Well, Hauschka treatments can be done at any of the brand’s trained estheticians, but for a first treatment, I still prefer to go to the (official) institute – especially for the place, built in a responsible/feng shui manner, a real haven of peace nestled in a courtyard. The House of Dr. Hauschka is in the 9th near the Ledru Rollin subway station, it is a neighborhood that I know little but quite fancy, the…
