written by Lina Clémence


With all the #Zoom classes going on, Rylan is back today to teach you her 3 EASY DIY Zoom Hairstyles that can each be done in 1-3 minutes! If you are like Rylan, you want to sleep in AS MUCH AS YOU CAN until that first Zoom call in the AM, so a quick 1-minute hairstyle tutorial gets you that much closer! Which one is your favorite?

Items Needed: Brush, rat-tail comb, spray bottle, hair elastics, bobby pins, scrunchie, bandana or head scarf, hairspray {if desired}.

Time Requirement: 1-3 minutes each

Skill Level: Easy

Double Pigtails with Braid Cuffs

Part your hair down the middle of the head. Section off a small square section on the right of the part, and secure with a small elastic. Section off a small square section on the left of the part (equal to that of the right), and secure with a small elastic. Take 2 decorative braid cuffs and clamp them down near the base of each pigtail. Lastly, add hairspray (if desired)!

Half-Up Low Scrunchie Bun

Part your hair however you prefer, right, left, or center. Part the hair back using your thumbs above each ear and secure in the back with a large scrunchie into a bun. Adjust the scrunchie to get the desired tightness/looseness desired for the bun. Add hairspray (if desired)!

Headscarf Headband

Part your hair however you prefer, right, left, or center. Take a bandana or silk headscarf and fold it once diagonally. Then take the headscarf and fold it down several times to your desired width (and secure the tiny triangle tip using the bobby pin hack I show you). Place the folded scarf evenly at the base of your neck, and bring the ends up and over the hair and secure using the first step of a knot. Instead of tying the seconds step of a knot bring each end down and secure behind the ear with a bobby pin. Add hairspray (if desired)!

Cartier Oud and Musc and Easy Ouds

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence


I have a few friends to thank for the discovery of Cartier’s Oud and Musc. I’m not drawn to many oud perfumes, but after hearing many positive reviews from friends, a bag of discarded samples coincidentally made its way to me, and happened to have a few from Cartier’s oud in it. Oud and Vanilla seems to be the crowd favourite and is much easier to wear, but I finished my sample Oud and Musc and wasn’t done deconstructing it in my head. I had to get a bottle so I could wear it some more. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

To me, this is everything I wanted the famed Muscs Kublai Khan to be. It’s animalic, a dirty barnyardy oud melding an animalic musk. A clean musk lies in the background and patchouli smoulders in the background. It’s easy to wear and even though it says “parfum” at the bottom of the bottle, the atomizer dispenses a fine luxurious mist that’s not overly potent. It feels more like an eau de toilette. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I’ve never understood how people could bear the animalic facets of oud until I smelled this line. It’s one where the wait is worth it because although it smells weird at first spray, the dry down has a cozy friendly warmth that reminds me of warm hugs, doggy fur, clean skin. Layer this with anything you want and make it your own, but wear it on skin to really experience the best of it.

I like it with Shalimar. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

Oud and Santal seems to be a popular one from this line too and it’s quite lovely.

My Super Easy Exfoliating Coffee Scrub Recipe

by Lina Clémence
written by Lina Clémence




We get through a lot of coffee in our household; both Charlie and I adore coffee, and as you may know, we each have our own coffee machine! I recently upgraded my coffee machine to the wonderful Ninja Luxe Cafe, which is a well-priced bean-to-cup coffee machine that makes delicious coffee. I’ve got into a good habit of using our discarded coffee grounds in the garden in autumn and winter; the grounds are full of nutrients and therefore can improve the nutrition of your soil. However, it’s not advised to add coffee grounds to your soil during spring, as it can be a bit intense for your young shoots.

This led me to think of another way to use my discarded grounds (waste not, want not!); by creating an exfoliating coffee scrub! Coffee grounds have the perfect texture to gently exfoliate the skin, plus they are rich in antioxidants which can help protect the skin from damage. Read on for my coffee scrub recipe, which can be used on your hands, body and face!

 

 

Ingredients

Medium sized jar

150g coffee grounds

75g coconut oil

75g brown sugar

10 drops of an essential oil (I used lime & lemongrass)


 

Method

Spread your coffee grounds out in a tray and leave them somewhere to dry out for at least 30 minutes, such as in the sun or on top of a radiator.

Add the coconut oil to your glass jar and either microwave it for 30s or place in the oven (set to 100C) for around 5 minutes until the coconut oil has totally melted.

Remove the jar from the oven and add in 10 drops of your essential oil, your coffee grounds and the sugar then stir.

The texture of your scrub should resemble wet sand.

Use your scrub liberally on your face, body and hands when you’re in need of exfoliation!
