Lush llega a México

Mi marca de cosméticos preferida al fin llegó a México. Lush Cosmetics son productos hechos a mano con ingredientes 100% naturales, sin conservadores y no probados en animales. ¿Qué mas pueden pedir? 

Mis recomendaciones: mi gel de ducha favorito es el Flying Fox, con miel y jazmín.

Para crema de cuerpo, la Crème Anglaise, con vainilla y plátano. Para un baño relajante: Sex Bomb (jazmín e ylang ylang).

Les invito a visitar su primera tienda en México, en el Centro Comercial Santa Fé:

Av. Vasco de Quiroga 3800, Cuajimalpa de Morelos.

Bye Bye 2011: Best Year Ever! // Adiós al 2011!

So many great things happened in 2011 that I can't even start telling you about all of them...from working part-time in American Apparel to my last year in university (Yeah, I finally got my master's degree!!!), to deciding to come back to Mexico after six years living in Paris. So I guess in the end it was kind of sad to leave all my friends and my parisian lifestyle, but I'm sure that 2012 will bring a whole new things and a fresh start into professional life. Here are some of the pictures that bring me back all the good memories...

Tantas cosas increíbles sucedieron en el 2011 que no puedo ni empezar a contarles todo, desde mi medio tiempo trabajando en American Apparel hasta mi último año de master (Sí, por fin logré terminar!), hasta el decidir regresar a México después de seis años de vida en París. Así que supongo que al final fue un tanto triste el dejar a mis amigos y mi vida parisina, pero estoy segura de que el 2012 traerá nuevas cosas y un comienzo fresco en la vida profesional. A continuación algunas fotos que me traen buenos recuerdos...

1) Detail from my parisian chambre de bonne, avenue Mozart and its amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. // Detalle de mi chambre de bonne parisina en avenue Mozart, y su increíble vista de la torre Eiffel.

Maison Martin Margiela boots (picture taken from Sea of Shoes)

Since my birthday approaches, and the end of the sales is near, I decided to give myself a nice little gift, and I went to my friendly store, La Piscine, to see if my dream boots were still there (I had seen them months ago, so I wasn't very optimist). But they were actually there, waiting for me! The one and only pair they got, a 36.5, just my size. And I got them with an additionnal 30% off! So I'm just waiting for the X day (my birthday, on February 16th) to finally put them on... So I guess you'll see them on my feet very soon!

What happened to our sweet girl?

 

I just watched the new Aronofsky movie, Black Swan. It's definitely one of the best movies of the year. We all love Natalie Portman, but I believe that this is one of the movies that really make you aware of what a great actress she actually is. I don't want to tell a lot about the plot for all of you who haven't seen it, but I just want to share with you some of my impressions concerning the great plot and the outstanding performances. Natalie stars as Nina, a ballerina in the New York City ballet who is obsessed with one thing: perfection. Her life is all focused in her dancing career, hence her only contact with the world is her overprotective and possessive mother (played masterfully by Barbara Hershey), who gives her no chance whatsoever to have a normal life, friends, and less of all a sentimental relationship. Nina is a tortured self, suffering from eating disorders as well as a self-destructive behavior. But her life is about to change when she is chosen to be the new ballet queen. All this new attention and the pressure that comes with it makes her even more inclined to go beyond the boundaries between good and evil, sanity and madness, reality and illusion. Will the road to perfection lead to the road of perdition? That's for you to see...

I'm in love with Lola

Non, je ne suis pas devenue lesbienne, je parle de mon nouveau parfum (cadeau d'anniversaire de ma soeur). Il est tout simplement irrésistible. Vous l'avez essayé?
