• What? You didn’t think I was going to leave Paris without having a croissant, did you? Du Pain Et Des Idees makes absolutely the best ones in the city. In fact, Parisians make pilgrimages here from their own cosy 'hoods, which is pretty much unheard of! What I also love is that this one if Paris’ last authentic bakeries, having originally opened doors in 1889. That’s a lot of history! . . . . . @dupainetdesidees #paris #croissant #nofilter #breakfast #morning #food #bakery #yummy #foodstagram #foodphotography #instafood #delicious #bread #localbakeries #photooftheday #eatclean #eatlocal #croissants #knowyourfood #slowfood #parisbakery #parisianstyle #parisianlife #parisbaguette #parisjetaime #secretspots #secretparis

  • I am totally opposed to walking uphill. At any point of time. Make me walk for any distance on flat surfaces but uphill/up the stairs? Nope. Not happening. But I love walking up these 300+ steps in Monmartre. It’s so pretty, and the funicular or a car will make you miss it all. This is maybe the only place that I will voluntarily ever walk uphill.

  • Lately, my skin has been a mess due to a chemical burn and two courses of antibiotics. Plus the constant travel, and stress of deadlines. Why do I keep taking on more than I can manage? Do you do that as well? . Anyway, I came across these Ayurveda-based sheet masks from Forest Essentials, and once I could bring myself to rip open that utterly gorgeous packaging – I mean seriously, how beautiful are these illustrations? – there were a lesson in holistic beauty. I have always been a strong believer in Ayurveda but sometimes it tends to get messy and complicated. . Forest Essentials seems to have found the perfect way to combine Ayurveda with state-of-the-art technology for skincare that’s both totally effective and efficient. . And being the artisanal, fresh-from-the-forests brand that they are, all ingredients are pure, natural, and sustainable. Including the biodegradable cotton cellulose sheets themselves. . Each of the three face masks is made from a combination of specific herbs, roots, minerals, and a hundred times washed ghee (called ‘Shat Dhaut Ghrit’ in Ayurveda). . Hundred times washed ghee? It’s an ancient Indian practise of placing ghee in a copper vessel, mixing it with purified water, and then draining away the excess liquid. This is literally done a 100 times (the patience needed!) for a supremely pure, non-greasy moisturizer, with a whipped butter consistency, that reaches all seven layers of your skin! . Definitely not something that I am ever going to get done at home, so stocking up on these sheets for ever more. . . . . . @forestessentials #forestessentials #ayurveda #ayurvedicskincare #ghee #beauty #skincare #sheetmask #sheetmasks #bblogger #bbloggers #photooftheday #greenbeauty #nontoxicbeauty #cleanbeauty #greenbblogger #greenbbloggers #crueltyfreebeauty #organicbeauty #ecobeauty #organic #greenbeautyproducts #flashesofdelight #thatsdarling #beautyproducts

  • About two weeks back I gave myself a chemical burn by falling asleep with Drunk Elephant’s Sukari Babyfacial on my face. Woke up seven hours later with the most red, itchy, and painful burn (swipe right if you missed the last post on this). . Even though it was my own stupidity and not the product’s fault, I decided to take a break from everything and just stick to pure aloe vera and Manuka honey. After 10 days of this, I brought in Marie Reynolds Dermabiome for an added boost of healing goodness. . And that’s it. This is me today, two weeks later. No foundation, no concealer. Not even tinted moisturiser. Just some lipstick, mascara, and eye liner. And not a trace of the burn. . Who says nature is not enough? . Convinced? Click on link in bio for all the reasons why simple aloe vera is basically all you need for the best skim of your life! . . . . . #skincarefail #imessedup #peelingskin #chemicalpeel #chemicalpeels #bewarned #beauty #skincare #nofilter #nomakeup #beautyaddict #beautyjunkie #bblogger #bbloggers #babyfacial #instabeauty #skincareroutine #beautycommunity #instaskincare #aloevera #aloeveraskincare #honey #manukahoney #manukahoneymask #manuka #honeyworks @drunkelephant @mariereynolds_london #dermabiome
