Pour célébrer la fête nationale de l'Italie, je vous file cette vidéo du film québécois Leolo, un segment où il nous présente son amour sicilienne Bianca.
Leolo is a STRANGE and strikingly beautiful movie, I've wanted to watch it for a long time and I finally did last Christmas with the moose. We were both mesmerized by its bizarre and raw poetry, I don't think any other movie has left me in such a state of nostalgia and ...longing for something unknown but real... How can I put this, the entire story is so strange yet so real, as if the director dived into your brain and filmed from the depth of your subconscious.
By the way, was last week the week of cannibals, zombies and american psycho or what?!!

J'espère que mon blog ne commence pas à ressembler à un panneau publicitaire...
Il était une fois, j'avais un gel de douche à l'odeur de cèdre et forêts, de la pluie et de la mousse. Pendant cette époque, la douche fût pour moi une sorte de cérémonie de relaxation, je m'imaginais que si les elfes et autres créatures des bois devaient se laver, ça aurait certainement été avec ce gel douche.
Puis vint le jour où ma bouteille s'épuisa et se fit jeter par le reine du royaume, ma mère, et avec ma mémoire d'adolescente je n'arrivais plus à me souvenir de la marque. *insérer beaucoup de jurons québécois*
Then I found THIS on a perfume blog. AND IT IS CALLING my inner lumberjack/coureur des bois....
"Hinoki, by avant-garde niche house Comme des Garçons, is a fragrance that supposedly recaptures this natural state of living. Inspired by the Onsen (Japanese warm spring baths) and Scandinavian woods, the aromas of Japanese Hinoki and cedar are brought to life. Hinoki was launched in 2008 and was created in honor of men’s lifestyle magazine, Monocle. The nose behind Hinoki is Comme des Garçons perfumer, Antoine Maisondieu."
Et il y a aussi mon côté pratique qui trouve ça fantastique d'avoir une eau de toilette qu'on peut partager avec son homme.
Maintenant il faut que le déniche!!!

Skin care routine
Sorry this is going to be a boring post. Ever since my birthday and my mom's speech about wrinkles and sunspots (not as hardcore as Michelle Phan's warning, thank God), I've been trying to keep up with a bedtime/morning routine. Of course, I've used cleansers and moisturizing creams for years, but toner ? eye cream? crème raffermissante? What is the point?!!!!! Men don't use anything other than aftershave cream and their skins aren't so bad, aren't they?
Cleansing/exfoliating products make my skin dry, therefore I put on a moisturizing cream afterwards to compensate, I wake up the next morning with a sorta oily face, so I wash again and put on the day cream. Caliss. Just what is the point of dabbing all this chemical on my face?!! I don't even wear makeup or have bad skin to start with T___T
Anyhow, I've never been faithful to a brand of skin products, but for my birthday I got the entire biotherm line.

Aquasource Eye Perfection// This is a crazy eye roller that costs 34$ (wtf) , I got addicted to it somehow, it helps me open my eyes in the morning and leaves a very fresh feeling. But sometimes I squeeze out too much and end up rolling for like 10 minutes...

This is a cream that I'm supposed to wear on days where I feel tired ( what the counter lady told me) IT SMELLS LIKE HEAVEN (citrus, sunny, fresh, so pleasant), so I think I'll end up eating it instead.
Pointless toner. I heard some ppl use pure alcohol as toner, claiming it makes their skin really smooth. I'd probably get drunk with a 100% alcohol toner.

Ma mère m'a aussi acheté ça, je vais le garder de côté et le sortir un matin où ma peau de 23 ans devient intensément déshydratée pffffffffff

Just the classic moisturizing cream, to be honest I really don't feel the difference between this and the generic 5$ aloe vera cream from Pharmaprix...

Je deviens vraiment méfiante par rapport à tous ces produits chimiques, et je crois pas qu'il soit possible de retarder l'apparition de rides sur moi, pcq je suis bcp trop expressive ANYWAY.
Mais là je vous laisse, car on sait tous que le manque de sommeil n'aide pas à avoir une bonne peau mmm??
