Lifestyle & Wellness

Kourtney Kardashian, Gwyneth Paltrow, Miranda Kerr… Those are the few names who created a lifestyle website, to give us their best tips when it comes to wellness. So, because you deserve it and we ALL need to take time for us, here’s a non exhaustive list to take time for us, but, because we take care of the planet, with some little tips to help her too.

1. Yoga

I bring to you nothing new but yoga is an ancestral art from India that liberate ourselves. There is actually diverse forms of yoga, like meditation. But i tried a more « acrobatic » yoga to be in shape this summer. Going to a class would be simpler so, because i like challenge, i watched some youtube videos, more accessible, free and without any engagement. I did a couple of session and let me tell you that i was truly surprised. I used to have opinions on yoga and when i finally tried it (thank you Alessandra Ambrosio) i was sweaty. This is one thing you don't expect if you know nothing in yoga (like me) but it can be really intense. This is amazing and it helped me in a lot of ways, so put on your fav sport ouftit and start yoga !

Tips : Prepare yourself, drink a LOT of water after the session (in a reusable bottle of course, plastic is out), and watch beginners video if you never did it. More helpful.

2. Breakfast

Like some of people and maybe some of you, I don’t have the time to take an healthy breakfast, or even sometimes don’t have time at all to have breakfast before leaving the house. So here the simplest and easiest recipies for an healthy breakfast. First of all, for a simple smoothie, pick a banana, and another fruit of your choice, add some chia seeds and juice if it’s too thick for you and there you go. An easy and fast smoothie. For the second one, I use a low fat greek yogurt, or a non dairy yogurt, I add some jam without added sugar, some muesli and chia seeds, maybe some banana and here I am. In a great shape, with a healthy breakfast. Oh, and don’t forget to drink water all-day-long. You are a plant : you need sun and water.

Tips : For the smoothie, use a metal straw, we’re saving turtles. Oh and please, take a reusable coffee cup instead of going to the coffee shop every morning. More ecologic and less expensive than buying new coffee everyday.

3. Meal

Yes, I know, i’m cheating, I could do breakfast and meal together but no. I won’t. I'm myself a big eater and I have difficulties to have boundaries when it come to eat. I start to eat healthy and then, i will eat a chocolate bar one hour after my lunch. So, for helping you (and me) to eat healthier I would propose you my favorite salad in the world.

You take any salad, you add tomatoes, cucumber, olive and salmon. You add a little bit of pomegranate and chia seeds. For the sauce olive : oil, salt and lemon juice. On the side, you take a slice of complete bread with avocado on it. And there you go, the best salad in the world and a little avocado toast. Healthy and most important, delicious.

Tips : Try to eat less meat. It’s a big source of pollution.

4. Skincare

Having a basic skincare routine is not only my longest relationship, but also one of my favorite thing to do in the morning. And I may not have the time to have breakfast but I assure you I really have the time to do my skincare routine. So, since I went to the USA last october, I thought it would be a great occasion to have a proper skincare routine. So, I will share with you the easiest step to have a good base for a skincare routine. First of all, do a research about your skin, this is the most basic and yet the most important things. A trend cream may not be right for your skin. Then, and I had this tip from a video of Valeria Lipovetsky, you apply your skincare « Thin to Thick ».

Facial spray first and cream last. Easy to remember. I personnaly apply a facial spray, then an acid hyaluronic serum and then my moisturizer. And for the night, I have my eye cream and my night mask. Don’t forget to cleanse your skin morning and night with a cleanser. And never forget the MOST important thing, even when it’s winter, sunscreen. Always wear sunscreen. Your skin will thank me in 20 years.

Tips : Just check good products for your skin with less plastic possible.

5. Take time

Skincare is great but sometimes all you need is to take time for yourself. And I’m not talking about skincare or long bubble bath. Sometimes self care is reading a good book, out of social medias for a day or even not talking anymore to someone who’s not good for you. Selfcare and wellness is about you and yourself only. So, the main things is to be fully in peace with yourself. So, start yoga if you want to, start to draw, dance and sing again. Don’t be afraid.

Tips : Just take care of yourself and respect the planet. Because, like Lil Dicky said « We love the Earth. »
