Happy Monday, my little cats! 

I hope you've had a great weekend, with all the excitement of gift-wrapping, hot chocolate flowing and the apartment smelling of Christmas trees! Well, I'm back today with an article that's really close to my heart. I'm going to tell you about my collaboration with My little Box. As I said in the article about the Gambettes Boxit's been a great experience to work with a great, motivated and passionate team. I have to say that this is like a kind of consecration for me. Yes, the word is strong, but that's really how I feel. I don't feel I've "arrived" anywhere, far from it, but all the same, with this collaboration I'm taking the time to savor a little...

When this collaboration was proposed to me, I knew My Little Box, I received it and I frantically unwrapped it like a child. I'm delighted to discover the products selected according to a precise, coherent and funny editorial line. I keep my favorites and distribute the products around me because we have a sister, two nieces, a mother and collaborators who give you the eyes of potted cats. I can't resist, I'm already spoiled every day, but I keep the moment of opening to myself, a little every month Christmas!

Diving in with the My little Paris in the creation of this Christmas box, I didn't expect to discover such a complete, rich and global universe, a genuine lifestyle brand, a canonical state of mind, all starting from a website a few years ago. Something to learn from, really. And then I discovered the My Little box subscribers, exalted, demanding and passionate too. It seems that my little box has been able to strike a chord with each and every one of us and give us the joy of little attentions. Receiving your little box is like giving yourself flowers, only better. I think you get the idea... And if you're short of ideas for Christmas, it's the perfect gift to delight the ladies in your life. And if you subscribe today, you'll be able to receive the one I imagined with the team for Christmas.

Spoiler alert! Don't watch the following video if you haven't yet received your box... otherwise don't worry, click! Thanks to Julie for the making of!

 

 

The My Little Box team wanted this Christmas Box to be very Do It Yourself, and full of sharing. The idea for this box was to think outside the box, and for me it was out of the question to do a Red and Green Christmas (I'm adamant about that), so I suggested a very soft universe, powder pink, white, gold and black touches for the graphic side! And then we put it all together... I was able to help Laurence, the editor-in-chief, guide the magazine's editors, which was easy; in the magazine, Simone gives product advice, a make-up tutorial using the box's products, Noémie braids her hair with a scarf and interviews the sweet girl... Lili. And sweet Emilie who cooks for us, but you already know that!

I'd like to thank the whole My Little Paris team for their trust, for guiding me in the creation of the contents of this box, for asking me questions, putting me on the cover, pencilling me in. I think this year has been crazy, exhausting but great. I'm more ready than ever for 2015, and I hope to make some of my dreams come true, at least I'm working hard for it. Big hugs to you all. And I wanted to say thank you too, because none of this would have happened if it weren't for you. So THANK YOU, thank you for making this little blog, created out of a sort of misunderstanding, become a bit of my whole life and those of other people...
