MY JULY SUITCASE
Happy Monday, almost the first day of July!
Picture the scene: it's 7:30am, and like a little worm I'm squirming in bed, looking for a shred of motivation to get up, start a washing machine, do the dishes, choose my clothes (which takes me a long time), shower etc... AND write you a little article before leaving for work. I'm still in bed: the dishes and laundry will have to wait until tonight, but right now I'm in the mood for a vacation, lounging on my towel, eating colorful salads and drinking smoothies: a really good vacation. As luck would have it, I'm off to the south-west coast of France for a few days in July. I'm telling you a bit about my life this morning, but I can already see myself there so much... Anyway, I'm doing a little article that's different from usual! More like "I tested it, I liked it, I'll never part with it".
In my July suitcase, there's a book: "Beauté Fatale, les nouveaux visages d'une aliénation féminine" by Mona Chollet, or so you think, it's not very light for the beach! But who said idleness had to be useless for our brains? When Justine B. gave it to me as a gift for my B.day, she promised that you didn't need to have a B.A. +12 to understand it. I've just finished "La plus belle histoire des femmes" by Françoise Héritier, Michelle Perrot, Sylviane Agacinski and Nicole Bacharan, which examines the history of the status of women since the birth of humanity (we've come a long way!). I highly recommend it, as you'll be hallucinating on every page about the different things inflicted on women over the last few millennia.
2. On a lighter and more futile note, the hair! Yes, I'm a woman, and my hair rules my life, and I'm pretty sure that hair rules the world... No, but for a long time, I didn't really ask myself whether this or that shampoo would really help my hair. It has to be said that I've never gone any further than Monoprix when it comes to my hair (even to bleach it platinum blonde, that was at Monoprix, yes I know...) and then one day I tested the whole range of Vichy "dercos" range Of course, it's a bit more expensive than monoprix and you have to go to the pharmacy... but it was a hair revolution for me! My hair dances the macarena, and is as healthy as beach boys after a big surf session. Vichy is my new hair dealer (and no, this article is not a sponso!).
3. Need I say more? My swimsuit H&M for water. I couldn't wait for H&M to do it, for 24.95 euros...
4. I'm so happy to show it to you, because I know that tattoos are a bit of a hobby around here, given the number of e-mails I receive about mine... In the little box is a sun balm 50 for tattoos, to preserve their pretty colors and all that..., the brand is Sol de JaneiroThe brand is Sol de Janeiro, obviously Brazilian, which you'll find at Sephora, and then in the same range, a protection 15 tanning oil (thanks Nelly de Make my Beauty for these products!)
5. My little toy for the beach, I'm very Fujimy little Fuji instax mini camera makes little Polaroids and I find that photos taken in the sun are 100 times more beautiful than those taken indoors, so I'm going to fill up on sunny memories!
6. My metal picnic box from my trip to India, perfect for the beach! You can find similar ones in pink melamine at Habitaton sale for around 10 euros!
