THE ultimate top knot!

A "top knot" is simply the little bun that is done high on the head, often with only the top half of the hair. In this tutorial from Refinery 29, we make a half-tail with the upper part of the hair and we make a braid. We then plait the rest of the hair. We pass the lower braid around the upper one and we get a great braided bun which, it is true, would almost make us forget all the others.

The great Chai Tea Latte recipe

OK, OK, that's not beauty, but if it feels good on the inside, it falls into the well-being category, doesn't it? Jessica first infuses the milk with the spices before adding her water to the Chai tea. We would swap cow's milk for soy milk and make big thermoses of it for the whole day!

What is Double Cleansing?

We really appreciate the blog of Teddy, expert in cosmetics (he is also a press officer), for his always very interesting and detailed files. This week, he's taking stock of double cleansing:first removing make-up with an oily substance and then cleansing the skin with a cleansing product. A technique derived from the "layering" of Asian women, which helps fight the signs of aging. We recommend this fascinating article!
