Sharing with the babies

by Sofia   -   in Good things for kids

Well mine are not really babies anymore but they still use quite a lot of baby products on their skin. Do you share “beauty products” with your kids? I think it´s so brilliant. There are a few things I borrow from them from time to time like the Sophie La Girafe face cream ( my kids don’t have dry skin like I do so they rarely need any lotions) and then there are the products I sneak from them all the time like the baby oil. It´s one of my favourite products. I put it in my bath and it makes my skin baby soft. Also very good for  eye make up removal. We have booked a little holiday on the beach in May and I was thinking how handy it is to pack for the vacation when we can share the product in the beauty bag. Just one body wash, one sunscreen for the face ( I don´t use 50 on my whole body as it´s kind of sticky and the girls will be covered in rash guards) and we can share face cream and perfume too. I love the Bonpoint scent and we are on to our second bottle with the girls. It´s so fresh and light yet very classy it´s absolutely perfect for a beach trip. That Madara oat and camomile gentle wash is lovely in the shower and delicate for the skin too and I´m absolutely obsessed about the cold cream my brother brought for the girls from a skiing trip to the Alps. It really makes the skin feel like velvet. I´m not necessarily taking all of these for the trip. In fact I have the Sophie La Girafe travel pack for that but we do share these products with the girls. And the one thing the girls borrow from me? That Deep Sleep Pillow Spray from This Works. They spray it on their pillows before bed time. They also have a baby version of it if you prefer to borrow from your kids rather than vice versa.

In the city of love

by Sofia   -   in Random

So… I left to Paris with my mom yesterday. We have a habit of going twice a year, at Christmas time and in Spring. You know it´s one of my favourite places in the world. It´s supposed to be raining pretty much the whole time but I don´t really care. I´m just going to breath in the city and it´s beauty. Let all of it´s inspiration rub on me… It´s also so nice to go with just my mum although the girls were a bit disappointed. We make the best travel companions with my mum. We have many things we always do while in Paris and one of them is stocking up on Mariage Frères tea, our very favourite. We have planned a lovely afternoon tea at the tea house. They serve with white cloves! I´m also looking forward to a morning run in jardin de Luxembourg ( you can see it in the photo below). I´ll try to blend in with the Parisians making their laps there ( and sneak glimpses of the people doing tai chi that I always find so intriguing).
