Faustine Bollaert has found the simple trick to escape to the Maldives in the middle of traffic. And she shares it with her 13-year-old daughter.
There is a simple way to escape to the Maldives when you are stuck in traffic. Faustine Bollaert found it, and it’s precisely the kind of little pleasure she imagines sharing with her 13-year-old daughter. On the occasion of the release of her summer beauty box with Blissim, the host shared this anti-trouble ritual that is as simple as it is delightful.
The secret lies in a gesture, one that many of us know without paying attention. ” I often have hand cream in my car, and when we’re in traffic, I put a little on “, says the host. Nothing very original in appearance… except that this little reflex has become a real sensory interlude for her, a way of treating herself to a few seconds when the traffic is at a standstill. And the product from her Blissim box that she imagines perfect for that, is Baïja cream, with a sweet and sunny smell: ” The Baïja cream, which will make her think she is in the Maldives when she is in traffic jams on the ring road, I think she would like it. “
This “him” is his 13-year-old daughter Abbie. And if Faustine imagines sharing this moment with her so well, it’s because it fits perfectly with her way of considering beauty at her age. Because the teenager is, in her words, “very natural”, and the facilitator has no desire to get her into a care routine too early. “I just want her to be careful if there is something bothering her. But if she doesn’t need anything, I claim the fact that she can wear nothing, because I find it very early, at 13, to get into that“, she explains. A posture that she assumes all the more as she salutes a whole generation of young women who “accept themselves as they are“.
But in fact, perfumed cream completely escapes this logic of constraint. Where a routine seems like an obligation, care that smells good is pure pleasure. And this is all the nuance that Faustine poses herself: with a hand cream, her daughter “doesn’t feel like she’s disguising herself“She doesn’t transform, she does herself good. Moreover, the host has already noticed that her daughter does not resist the one she keeps in her car for long: ” I saw that she was really into me “, she smiles.
So that’s all the charm of this express tip: no makeup, no aesthetic pressure, just a dab of cream that smells good and the shared illusion, for the duration of an endless red light, of having your feet in the lagoon. An escape for two that costs nothing, except a little imagination… and a lot of patience in traffic jams.
