Hello Marion, thanks for having us
Hello Fleur, thank you for coming
Tell us about Les Louves
how did you have the idea, what did it become
Les Louves is a magazine that I've
launched with my associate Marine
it's an online magazine
dedicated to young and future mothers
the idea was to talk to
moms-to-be and
women who want to have a baby
talinkg to them about their everyday life
with a still pretty angle
we tell them about lifestyle, trips
and children, while still putting them
in the center of all our preoccupations
we don't focus on babies, we talk
to the young mother, about her
new envies and her new liffe
now that she has children in the house
or that she expects to
we emphasis on
what we thought was essential, namely
travelling, because it shouldn't be assumed that
when you have children you become
a stay-at-home mother
in fact we want to travel with the
"baby in the suitcase", the idea was to
find, test and confirm
addresses as beautiful as the
ones we might have visited during a romantic getaway
but this time with a family
mostly in France and Europe
but also all around the world
for a weekend or vacation
we also talk a lot
about maternity, with a
very kind angle, we try to
answer to young mothers' new worries
whether it is
choosing names, which is a very big question
from the moment we learn we are pregnant
but also the godfather and
godmother decision, if
we want any for our children,
questions about education
reading options, all the new
questions that are floating in the everyday life, along with
as we speak to every step of
their new everyday life as a mother
we will talk about fashion,
beauty a lot, because we have a lot of
changing preoccupations and
activities to do with
children, namely brunches,
we list a lot of those
new addresses and restaurants that welcome
,with at least a smile, children
and/or a little bit of space for the
stroller, high chairs, special menu,
we try to include
the whole everyday life
of this young mother and the future one
in everything that she wants to do or discover
in her new life
We are going to talk about beauty now
With pleasure
Tell us about your night time
beauty routine
Since I've been pregnant
I've really emphasized on
cleansing my skin
we have a very sensitive and reactive skin
when we're exptecing a baby
So I've really emphasized on cleansing products
I have two products
that I alternate regularly, which have
the same principles and the same
textures, there's this coconut
oil from RMS Beauty
which is a 100% natural product that
I really like because I tell myself that I'm not hurting my skin
the concept is that it's solid
but when appled onto the face
it melts into an oil, it's quite oily
so you have to go over with another product to
clean it but it works impressively well
against mascara and
foundation
and in the same type I have this product which is from
Clinique that I've had for awhile
and which has the same texture
it's a balm that turns into an oil
that I really like
it's a small gesture, very enjoyable when
you massage your skin to remove your makeup
I use those two products alternately
and then to rinse my face
I use this product
from Pai which is sort of a cleansing
cream with a smell ...
they say it's Camelia and Rose
I personally think it smells like lemon, so it's a
fresh and lemony smell, which it doesn't foam much
but you feel you're removing the last impurities
which have stayed even after the coconut oil
you can rinse it with a
muslin, which gives an exfoliating effect
very much enjoyable, and on the other side there's a sponge
which cleanse the skin very well
the skin doesn't pull after it and it is well cleansed
those are the ones that
I have validated since
the beginning of my pregnancy
and then I only give
an hydratation boost
so it depends, in the heart of winter,
I use this product that I've stolen
from my daughter, validated by
her pediatrist, it's an ultra rich
cream, ultra hydrating, perfect for
when you have a bit of issues with your skin, as I've had
those past few wintery months
or when I only need an hydratation kick
this is my favorite that I use every night and
in the morning, a moisturizing cream,
from Nuori, amazing, and natural
there's no agitators in it,
no alcohol,
I'm a big fan, during the night it is
pretty basic
so this is for the face
before I go to bed, I apply a bit of oil
on my body, chest
my arms, my stomach
It's a Pai Skincare oil
with a bit of a particular smell, which we
accommodate to, quite fast, it's warm
it's perfect
I believe, against stretch marks
for now it works but we'll see in three weeks
right now I'm on the right track
it's my small night ritual
Great!
Tell us about your morning routine
In the morning it is
still simple, I'm only in the
hydration, I start
with a bit of water on my face
apparently it's not the best but I can't
wake up without, then a bit of
serum, this is from a brand called Patyka
it's a bio brand with natural products
and this is a serum that
I love the smell off, it's calming
the texture feels so nice
and it has a blue color
which gives the impression you're doing some good
I apply this as a base
and over it I apply my small moisturizing cream
that I love so much, from Nuori
which is amazing, very rich
which spreads out very well, and if
I noticed some redness showing up
I apply this
which also have been advised by my dermatologist
it's from Bioderma, very basic but it works
well, it has a bit of a medical smell
you feel it's efficient, I like it
and then
this is for the hydratation part, I apply
the Pink
an Erborian cream, it's a makeup
base, which is also, a bit,
hydrating, I love the Glowy effect,
very enjoyable, and a magnificent
smell, I've
minimized my beauty routine
so I content myself with the Erborian BB Cream
I find it very efficient, I used to swear by
Dior foundation
the coverage is great
it gives a very luminous tint
so I content myself with this, a bit of mascara,
some blush and
lipstick, I can't live without
I tried to
minimize during the pregnancy
you wouldn't tell like that but I have
a few products, and then a bit of
perfume before I leave, it's my daughter's
perfume, which I steal quite frequently from her
by the way when you're pregnant you're very sensitive to smell
and I can't stand any perfume apart from this one
it's the only one I've used
for 8 months
If you had to choose three products
Yes of course Fleur
So if I could only
choose three products
clearly I would pick
a makeup remover because it seems
essential to me and I feel like I'm doing some good to my
skin and when it's well cleaned, it's
pretty, so I would pick
this one
a great moisturizer, so this one, this is
clearly my favorite, I love it, I love the smell,
I love the texture and it hydrates
my skin so well, and then
the third one, clearly right now,
I have a body cream which I haven't talked about
it's a moisturizing
body cream, which goes
together with the oil I was telling you about
earlier, it's a Pai duo
specifically for stretch-marks
and not only does it work but it also creates
a ritual when you're pregnant
so enjoyable, you massage your stomach, your body
you take care of yourself, there're so much
you can't do when you're pregnant, so you enjoy
those few moments for yourself
I would say it's the wining combo, the cream
for the night and morning, and the makeup removal
and hydratation, it's the three basics
plus, it happens to be
natural products
I found it quite reassuring
I feel like I'm doing some good to myself
or at least I'm hot harming myself
Do you have a beauty secret to share with us?
Do I have a
beauty secret to share...
I think
since I haven't slept for 8 months
I want to say that the true beauty secret is sleep!
It's true!
Let me think...
Yes I believe that clearly the beauty secret is the
complexion, to me, from the moment you have a good complexion
everything goes smoothly
and to have a great complexion, I put everything
on hydration, makeup removal
and cleansing my skin
I can't get much sleep with
pregnancy insomnias, my daughter and work
so I try to
give myself some good internally with
healthy cosmetics and
that's the maximum, I won't tell you
I work out because it wouldn't be true but
I try with all those elements
and the other elements of the daily life
to have a complexion, minimally
glowy and then to work with it
with creams or makeup
We are going to go back
to Les Louves because it interests us
So do we
There are a lot of editos
and great
addresses
which go live quite frequently on
Les Louves
do you have addresses to
share, Parisians, or
to go on vacation, when you have a
family ?
There're a lot of addresses
we list on Les
Louves, lately in Paris
we've spotted two or three brunches which have just
opened that we love with the kids,
there's one on a boat in evalloi Perret
so you have to drive a bit but
it's really worth it because on the
weekends they organized brunches, it's called the
Polpo, and their brunches are
huge with
oysters, seafood,
cheese plate,
mini burgers, crêpes, cakes,
so amazing
and animations for
the children, it's truly great
when you have children from 2 years old
who whill have
their own animation, their own face painting,
games, while we can enjoy the
brunch between parents
it's truly the address to go to with friends
et and to take the children on Sundays
and your kids will be glad to have their
Nutella crêpe, and their mini burger,
and to leave with their face painted
as Koala, so it's the new address
we've tested and that we really like
and for the activity
I won't tell you about an address but rather
an application that we've found
a few months ago called "Y'en a marre du Square"
and it saves my weekends
it's a great application
intelligent which geolocalizes you, you give
your children age, your neighborhood, the dates
you'd like to do something,
and you'll find all the activities that match your
daughter's or son's age
every Friday's nights
I add my daughter's age, 3 years old,
my neighborhood, or the area I want to go to,
and it will give me the exhibit of the moment
the activity to do,
spectacle, the last play to see etc.
it's great! I love it!
Lately I've also discovered the Winter Circus
with my daughter, who finally has the right age to go
and I must confess I've never been to a circus before, but we went to the
Bouglione circus and it's absolutely magical
and amazing for the children, they also have
representations during the day, on weekends
it's a magical occupation
to do
from 2 years old, I would say,
it's very nice, and from 2 years old to
90 years old, everybody loves it!
Those are the good addresses in Paris
And to go on vacation?
or on weekends?
So we found
to go on vacation
a new concept with Marine
thanks to the Louves that we
love, called Les Maisons de
Katy et Jacques, and the concept
gathers around
six houses in Europe, which are
kind of between
the All Inclusive Club and the Bed and Breakfast
very homely and pleasant
with a very high-end service
very luxuous, a Kid's Club
fully integrated to the hotel, where they take care
children, from their youngest age, from 3 months old, I would say,
to adolescence
with activities, games etc.
in the most beautiful places
near Rome, in the heart of the
mountains, in Switzerland
in the Luberon, in Spain
beautiful places and
I think it truly is the most
expecting concept, we are all waiting for as parent, to have
at the same time, a great service pour yourself, comfortable
bedrooms, a beautiful swimming pool,
an amazing property in wonderful places
and on the other side, facilitators
very much qualified, and who take care of your children
from a very early age
it allows to spend time in family, to
relax, there's always a spa or massage service
if you want to, so to me it's
a great concept
lately we've tested the Chambéry one
we've also
visited the one in Rome
and those are really the addresses that I recommend
which are great for vacation
then, for weekends, we have
a lot of addresses, we try to find
addresses not to far from Paris
for our Parisian lectors
and not too far from big cities, such as Bordeaux,
Lille etc.
I would say our last crush,
in terms of nice Bed & Breakfast
to do with children, where you leave unexpectedly,
with the suitcases, thinking "Let's go for 2 days
by the seaside" it was
on the Quiberon peninsula, it's called
le Petit Hôtel du Grand Large,
it's famous because they have an hotel and a starred
restaurant, absolutely fantastic
and delicious,
but they also have small bedrooms, really affordable
for less than 150€, homely
with bunk beds,
the bed for the baby, if needed, and the Michelin
starred Chef has no problem
making pasta for the children
or to make an homemade mash potato, there're
amazing walks to do on the peninsula,
it's not too far from Paris
and it truly is the last
address we've loved, real crush!
Great!
Last question because I'm curious
what are the brand
that have supported you during your pregnancy
So
when you're pregnant, until the fourth month
you think you're invicible, and then you realized, you need to change
your whole wardrobe, so
I have rather focused on
smart buys which
could last me
six months, you don't want to redo entirely your
wardrobe, but you still need to get dressed
daily, so I
bought a few pants, actually two
pants at
Emoi Emoi who have great
brands to find nicely-cut and
perfect jeans, that support you during the whole pregnancy
and right now, they are a lot of things developping with
pretty brands, who think about young mothers with
intelligent clothes, you can wear from the beginning of the pregnancy
and that you can keep until breastfeeding
I'm thinking about Joli Bump, who is
a very young brand, which offer a rather
restricted line but with high quality products
nicely cut, with pretty fabrics,
they make pretty shirts, and dresses
you can fit over the stomach etc.
we are so far from the nerdy
fashion of our mothers, so it's nice
I also like during the pregnancy,
the option to buy shirts
a bit bigger
and larger at Gap, The Kooples,
American Apparel
in which we feel comfortable and that we'll be able to keep
during the following months of the pregnancy,
while we find our silhouette
I think it is
the smart compromise
there's an american brand that I love called
Hatch Collection and it's truly to
enjoy yourself because it's very expensive but it's
so wonderful, so buying a few
pieces there to feel pretty during
the pregnancy, they make great wide dresses
very pretty
tunics, very pretty
and well cut pants, it's a
luxurious buy that I've discovered during my second
pregnancy and it feels good as you don't
buy much, it always feels nice
and for after the pregnancy,
I've also discovered the brand
Belly Bandit, which sell
shrink tops
which apprently
allows you to find your shape quickly
I haven't tested it during my first
pregnancy so I would tell you about it after this second one,
it's ordered, it's bio cotton
belts which have this shrinking effect,
and apparently it allows to support
the back, to do some good, and to
get your abdominals faster,
a very tempting promise,
Great ! Thank you for all those geat
addresses, see you soon Marion!
Thanks Fleur, see you soon!
