Uncomplicated back-to-school morning routine: pleasure above all!

The return to the monotony of work and weather after the carefree summer holidays is sometimes synonymous with intense frustrations. To ward off the spell, here is the "magic" word to (re)place at the heart of your morning routine from the beginning of September: PLEASURE.

Guardian of our happiness hormones (dopamine, serotonin), driving force behind our joy of living and our motivation: pleasure is never a luxury, but rather a vital necessity that we tend to sacrifice too much in the hustle and bustle of returning to the office.

We help you recharge your batteries with this series of little “thrills” to give yourself first thing in the morning. Taste, smell, sexual or cosmetic: all are experienced as lovely gifts from you to you, to be enjoyed and reproduced without feeling guilty. To do yourself some good, quite simply.

Pleasure through taste

We know that breakfast is the most important meal – the one that should neither be missed nor rushed! It sets the tone for our body for the rest of the day: it affects our tone, our concentration, our appetite and even our mood. So we want it to be balanced (of course), but also delicious and tasty to combine pleasure and well-being.

What if you took advantage of the start of the school year to try out new nutritional and taste experiences that will make your taste buds tingle with impatience?

Cocoa, in addition to being a delicious source of antioxidants, has this unique power to euphorize the child in us (thank you theobromine!). So for this back-to-school season, we're treating ourselves to Aime's Cacao Glow. This chocolate powder also contains hydrolyzed marine collagen (type 1 - 4000 Da), vitamin C and guarana. It can be enjoyed as a drink: in hot chocolate or in a cold latte. You can also use it to add a little "collagen" twist to your morning recipes. How about a chocolate mousse + collagen to start the day?

    Recipe – Chocolate mousse with hazelnut pieces (to prepare the night before 😉)

    1. Melt 200 g of dark chocolate and 40 g of semi-salted butter in a bain-marie.

    2. Bake 40 g of hazelnuts at 160 °C for 10 minutes. Leave to cool. Remove the skin by rubbing them in a towel, then crush them.

    3. Beat 6 egg yolks with 1 tablespoon of Muscovado sugar. Mix with the melted chocolate (at room temperature).

    4. Beat 6 egg whites until stiff. Fold them into the previous mixture.

    5. Add 20 g of Cacao Glow and mix gently with a spatula.

    6. Leave to set, covered, for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.

    7. Sprinkle with roasted hazelnuts.

To complete your gourmet ritual:

So Mush Organic Spirit Boost Coffee : a mix of organic and fair trade instant coffee, maitake extract and maca extract with a delicious and tangy flavor.

Aime protein powder : flavored with orange blossom, to stock up on fiber and protein (vegetable + yeast) with a low fat and sugar content.

Pleasure through intimacy

It's a fact: having an orgasm first thing in the morning is more effective than a cup of coffee in boosting our productivity. But that's not all! The hormonal surges it maintains cause serotonin (the hormone of good mood!) to soar. In a British study , 75% of participants said that having an orgasm at breakfast was the most effective way to relax. So, when faced with the stress of going back to school, don't forget to prioritize your sexual pleasure.

And if you need a boost to anchor yourself in the moment, keep a bottle of intimate CBD oil on your bedside table. Its (big) plus is its dosage of 300 mg of cannabidiol, a non-psychotropic substance that promotes relaxation. Thanks to its vasodilatory properties, it enhances the sensitivity of the clitoris and increases the chances of reaching orgasm. The accomplice of all your #yesflap mornings, to be whipped out also in case of discomfort or period pain.

To complete your intimate ritual:

The Aube anal plug by My Lubie : it is equipped with a suction cup to fix it wherever you want and use it hands-free. Tip: boost the velvety glide with the rich lubricant.

Aime Love Boost Room Mist : an almost aphrodisiac elixir of solar flowers, intoxicating musks and warm sandalwood that awakens the senses and promotes the rise of pleasure.

Pleasure through smells

Aromachology is a discipline that studies the influence of odors on our behavior, emotions, and well-being. A scent captured by our nostrils, and it is our entire limbic system that responds by provoking a psychosomatic reaction. Certain odors are thus known to energize us (peppermint), others to soothe our mind (orange blossom) or to titillate our joy of living (citrus fruits). Try to apply this new wellness principle at the start of the school year!

For souls in need of a “good vibe” as they head back to the office, here’s a real olfactory hug: Leahlani’s Bless fragrance . A Hawaiian essence that acts as an aromatherapy potion to cultivate optimism and inner harmony. Its heady blend of citrus flowers and tansy encapsulates all the nostalgia of a tropical summer on a paradise island. Roll its ballpoint tip over your pulse points – and let the “magic” happen.

To complete your olfactory ritual:

Kerzon Place des Vosges scented mist : a velvety bouquet of Bulgarian rose and geranium to spray everywhere like a regenerating breath (air, fabrics, skin).

The Ripple+ Max aromatic inhaler: a pleasure break presented as a more natural alternative to vaping, with plant extracts and plant/fruit aromas.

Pleasure through care

This is the heart of holistic cosmetics: taking the time to pamper your skin with exceptionally sensorial treatments applied consciously. The smoothness of a texture in which you can only think of dipping your fingers, the originality of a color that you secretly dream of spreading everywhere, the delights of a perfume that makes us feel like we're nestled in a spa on the other side of the world... So many not-so-cosmetic details to help us face those sad mornings.

What's more enjoyable than a mask to give yourself a moment of self-love first thing in the morning? Our favorite of the end of summer: the Bio-retinol gold mask from Evolve . Its golden formula with a tangy scent infuses the skin with a sensation of exquisite luxury. At once anti-aging, protective and nourishing, it plumps the appearance of wrinkles with effects similar to those of retinol, with added softness. Its secret ingredient: a plant extract of bidens pilosa, known to target the signs of aging.

To complete your skincare ritual:

Holi(Sun) SPF50 from Agent Nateur : we continue to protect our skin from the sun, with the added bonus of a tinted veil that perfects the complexion with a glowy finish.

La Canopée Anti-Dark Circles Wake-Up Gel : a fresh elixir with menthol accents that energizes the eye contour while reducing the appearance of dark circles and bags.
