Meet Sakina M'Sa

Hello again. Here's someone you should know about : fashion designer Sakina M'Sa. To tell you the truth, fashion is not all to this petite creative person with a big heart. Women, their education and the environment they live in are at the core of her philosophy. Yes, her interview is in French beacuse it's published by the magazine on www.greenmama.fr. Now you have a good reason to learn my language. A bientôt ! Here Sakina poses with PR Béatrice Manson, in front of photographs of her Petit Palais exhibition.

Back to school

Hey ! Much happened since I last wrote on this blog. Not many comments while I was gone though (sigh). And although I spoke English in Asia this summer, it sounds rusty whenever I talk to my editors. Oh, well. I guess writing is easier. And as far as writing is concerned, everyone should get a Pilot pen from the new line : "Begreen". It is made of recycled plastic (up to 77% if I remember well). And you should read Anna Brones' hints for kids when you're at it. Follow the link on the title to the magazine on www.greenmama.com

In a Leggy Vein

Warning : Too much shopping can be tough on your banker's nerves but also on your own legs and feet. If you're about to fly for hours, trek accross the desert or even walk the runway like this young person at this year's Trophées St Roch, read Anita Conrade's story for light legs tips.

Travelling Beauty Bags

So packing or not packing... your beauty products with you? My first answer would be "To travel far, travel light" and my sincere belief is that "Less is more", especially during summer time. As my destination is the "sun paradise" (although not this one which is Guadeloupe, courtesy of my sailor friend Ariane) I've already started my diet of sun capsules and invested in very high protection sun creams. I encourage you to do the same! We got so little sun in Paris lately that "summer" is almost an obscene word and we're just bound to bake on white sand. So click on title to get some clues about what to pack according to your destination from traveller Mia Masnic.

Turning Eco : 15 simple steps

Hi there ! After such a beautiful week-end, today's apocalytic bursts of rain in Paris make me want to lay emphasis on climate change.

And feel free to post your own eco-tips on this blog too. NB For those who know where the picture of this red sun was taken : clubbing is not good for your health. Scroll down to previous post ! J/K

Weekend Plans

It's this time of the week again! Still in town ? Click on title for insights on what to do during the weekend : picnic eco-tips, confidential parks info and hints on how to ride with style... OK, this kind of post does not fall into any of the categories I said I'd write about. But it's green, right ? PS : Anyone able to tell me where in Paris this picture was taken wins an Intensive Anti-Pollution Skin Protector by Green Mama. Bonne chance !
