A beautiful day!
A very good friend of mine told me that is extremely important to love your body, to cuddle it, to create special occasions just for you to enjoy. I’ve never been such an advocate of the “love yourself” philosophy, I always found a more important to love others and being loved in return. However, I must say… lately I’ve started to think that a little cuddle therapy from time to time doesn’t hurt!
So yesterday I’ve decided it was time for a treat. Well, actually I had more than one so let me talk you through my beautiful Saturday!
First of all, a naughty breakfast at Max Brenner… what’s Max Brenner? well, this deserves a chapter on its own so maybe next time but for now just bare in mind: chocolate!
So I had my croissant with melted chocolate, a lovely cappuccino and that couldn’t have been a better way to start the day.
After a walk around the city, I ended up visiting one of my favourite places… Aesop!
I found the lovely Ines, who gave me precious tips and tricks on how to make my skin glow, and I walked away with a much lighter wallet, but a very happy heart and soon, face too.
I already talked about my beloved Primrose mask, now I also have a Fine Quartz, Rosemary Leaf, Lactic Acid Exfoliant Paste (divine!) and Parsley Seed, Lavander Stem and Blue Chamomile Anti-Oxidant Facial Toner (super divine!). Plus I walked away with quite a few samples to try new cleansing, eye-bags reducing products (lately mine are pretty much living a life on their own) and only one (read: pure gold) of one of their newest addition, the miraculous Perfect Facial
Hydrating Cream, full of vitamins and anti-oxidants. Let’s say my beauty products monthly budget couldn’t stretch this far and sadly I had to leave it on the bench…
But, I have enough to keep my skin nice and healthy for a while, and the astute Ines made sure with all those samples that I will go back very soon!

Eh già… bastano poche ore, magari prima di andare a letto… prendersi cura di sé stesse dalla testa ai piedi, coccolarsi per sentirsi decisamente meglio… il tutto a base di oli, creme, esfolianti, maschere e chi più ne ha ne metta!!!! Un rituale studiato minuziosamente da seguire passo per passo, un bel bagno caldo con olii essenziali e poi dritte a nanna in lenzuola candite e profumatissime…
Se poi si decidesse il mattino successivo di concedersi un’altra colazione birichina…. Direi che sarebbe perfetto!!! Non trovi???? Attendo di essere scoprire il favoloso mondo di Max Brenner insieme a te!!!!!
