THE ART OF FOLLOWING THE RIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS

Since the inauguration of the Julian calendar, January has tirelessly and always been marked by a questioning of the self, the superego and the aspiration for a new beginning. After the long lists of December, the beloved resolutions are born, and with them the universal game of “unravelling to resolve”. A resolvere molto importante. Lastly, the letting go of the past to open the ground for possibilities towards the future.

RECCOMENDATION 1

Is there a better month to try your hand at a new art and, if grace makes its appearance, discover an unsuspected talent? With the mind freed from the clutter of the past, the body soothed after the euphoric waltz of the holidays, there is room for more studious plans and eagerness to work.

The art of calligraphy remains the highest instance of writing. It sublimates through the lines, transforms a word, a letter, a thought into an epistolary romance. The eye is lulled by elegant curves while the hand dances with the gesture. Beyond the creative act, calligraphy is the ideal breath to take from a frantic pace.

The Officine takes the respect of your new resolutions to heart. To this end, it will be offering courses in English calligraphy, the beginnings of which date back to the 17th century under the hand of a master French writer, Lucas Materot.

And your resolutions are recorded in writing.

RECOMMENDATION

At the beginning of the year, hydration is queen and must be a priority. First and foremost, water. A source of well-being and beautiful skin, water is the essential beverage to consume without moderation. Good care will then be taken of the body, especially the parts that are often forgotten, the ones that are discreet but of great importance.

A short guide to a perfectly hydrated body, in infinite detail.

01.Better observing our surroundingwith the Baume des Muses

The famous Baume des Muses is a delight for sharp and
tidy looks. Its rich and moisturizing texture makes it perfect
to set eyebrows after meticulous brushing. A well-shaped
gaze is a good omen.

umbrella of the gaze »

Concrète elbows & feet

Here, the idea is notto become an acrobat but you may
need to do some gymnastics to moisturise elbows, heels and soles
of the feet properly. Endowed with purifying properties,
the Pommade Concrète, or its sister, the Double Pommade Concrète,
is applied with great energy. Both ointments are rich in
delicious ingredients: shea butter and chamomile floral water.

le MIMI SENKETSU

The absolute ear. As a window on the world and a symbol of balance, the ear deserves the most honourable attention. Sometimes in listening, sometimes in understanding, it knows no respite. Taking care of it seems to be a necessity, to ensure good understanding and good conversations. An ancestral Japanese beauty secret, Mimi Senketsu oil is the ideal treatment to pamper the coveted ears. It awakens the mind and improves hearing in an invigorating waltz of menthol and chilli extracts.

A budding friendship between hearing and beauty.
