The holiday rush is over, the month of January has had its day, and now it’s time for February…the month of love, but also of winter ruts! Here is our survival guide to see you through until spring.

Outdoor Pleasures

Self-care

If you find winter a challenge, imagine what it’s like for your skin! Now’s the time to pamper and give your skin maximum hydration. Make a point of taking time for yourself too: cream, mask and manicure.

To the kitchen
