I’m in a deep refresh mode made up of self-care rituals. Amidst the excitement of creating my new line and the craziness that comes with having so many balls in the air, I have taken to mantras to remind me that taking care of myself is productive. This month is all about slowing down and enjoying those few moments of self-care time. Here’s my top 10!

1. hair rituel by Sisley - perfecting shampoo with hibiscus flower | 2. tlees- lemon and rose candle | 3. Necessaire - the gel deodorant in eucalyptus | 4. Davicina - aqua moisturizing and plumping mask with collagen | 5. Parure 1 by Mademoiselle Jules - “Two is better than one” earrings | 6. Guerlain - Rouge G Refillable Lipstick, number 214 | 7. Salt and stone/ bergamot and eucalyptus body wash | 8. Functionalab- collagen infusion plumping serum for lips | 9.Dyptique - Eau rose | 10. Bathorium - hinoki mineral bath soap

Hair Rituel Color Perfecting Shampoo by Sisley Paris is a sumptuous shampoo of pearly texture that helps your color last longer. Less fading means more brilliant hair, which is always a plus when I’m shopping for shampoo. I love the hibiscus flower scent and the cleansing properties of this delicate and rich shampoo.

T.lees Lemon & Rose candle also brings a distinct scent to your home. A romantic blend of lemon and rose, it’s the perfect marriage of powder softness and tarty citrus.

Necessaire - the gel deodorant in eucalyptus is the natural Deodorant Gel that I use and live by. It’s clear and dries quickly, but more importantly, there is no aluminum or baking soda, no synthetic fragrances or any of that junk, and it still works! Use promo code JULES10, let them know I sent you (wink, wink).

While you’re at it, make a spay day of it. The Davincia Aqua Moisturizing and Plumping Collagen Mask is so refreshing. The Aqua formula gradually releases naturally derived anti-aging ingredients to recharge your skin leaving you looking visibly younger. I mean it!

When I launched Mademoiselle Jules Jewelry I had no idea the kind of insanely warm reception I’d receive. Two is Better Than One is a piece I hold near and dear. I love playing with colour and mixing and matching shapes and designs. These earrings are an ode to being daring and bold, yet understated and sophisticated. A pair of gold hoop earrings made up of one red pear-shaped and one clear circle-shaped charm, so you can play around and wear them your way.

Guerlain is my go-to for a lot of makeup and skincare products. I particularly like their Rouge G Refillable Lipstick. It’s smooth and glides right on. It’s long-lasting and plumps while it’s on. The stunning case is half the attraction because it has a built-in mirror and it’s just so luxurious. One of my faves to throw into my purse and pull out at the table to reapply.

The Antioxidant Body Wash from Salt & Stone is the perfect way to hydrate. It packs a lot of punch to cleanse with this silky-smooth gel. It’s gentle and rich with antioxidants. Whether I’m lying in the tub or grabbing a quick shower, body wash is my preferred mode of cleansing. A deep scrub, am I right?

Plumping Serums are a great in-between filler. I love Functionalab’s Collagen Infusion. It is a multi-action volumizer and hydrating/plumper. All the things I look for in a serum. You’re supposed to apply three times a day to see best results.

I think I’ve been singing the praises of the Diptyque parfumiers for well over two years, but with good reason. The Eau Rose Eau de Parfum is a new level of delicious. One spritz and rose fills the air. Honey, chamomile, and other subtle notes that only add to the flowers’ intensity, infuse a full body perfume. I am also simply in love with the divine bottle and how beautiful it looks propped up on my countertops.

Along with a rich shampoo comes that rich Bathorium Hinoki Cypress Magnesium Flake Bath Soak. A mouthful but wow is this citrusy yuzu-infused fruit essential oil an incredible way to enjoy a nice soak. Filled with soft aromas, all you have to so id add 1 to 2 cups of Hinoki and then jump into the tub.

Hope you loved this month’s round up of fave products! Let me know what categories you’d like for me to recommend products in next month in the comments!
