Soins de l’entretien

Some career paths are closely linked to personal life, necessary changes that are necessary due to the challenges of life that push us to reinvent ourselves. Karine, mother of three children, saw her life turned upside down by her youngest daughter, a little warrior who was born with a heart defect. A daily presence makes a traditional paid life impossible, and after a few years of break and part-time work, entrepreneurship is essential, encouraged by her husband who had also already taken the plunge. It is by following social networks about creative know-how that Karine starts. The year 2023 is devoted to setting up her small business: she works on compositions and dosing, she is training on business creation and regulations, imagines packaging, and from test to test, she finally arrives at her ideal compositions. Having shared her daily life on social networks, accompanied by the Petit Coeur de Beurre Association, created a beautiful community for her: Maison Vaissière opens its doors in early 2024, dedicated to the art of home and daily living.

Big crush on this brand and its creator Karine who is brimming with kindness and humanity, talks about her career and her creations in all simplicity. His universe is similar to him and the bet is extremely successful: his products are delicate, pleasantly scented, and very affordable in terms of the quality of the compositions. I discovered vacuum cleaner powders which are, it must be said, pure madness and bring cleaning to the height of refinement: vacuuming and perfuming at the same time. A very nice discovery also with perfumed oils that brilliantly replace fondant. His products are now available on his Instagram page or on local markets: do not hesitate. It is the ideal place for customizable gifts for weddings, baptisms, birthdays, etc...

Roses and Confettis is the story of a businesswoman in the world of perfumery who decided to say stop to pressure and stress. Nothing suited her to sewing except one day borrowing her mom's sewing machine, creating a pouch for her i-pad and discovering, as a revelation, that this is what she wanted to do now. After hours of tutorials on the internet, a total immersion in manuals, and the desire to be an entrepreneur, Roses and Confettis was born in 2016. His taste for beautiful fabrics, his passion for creation, his appetite for the world of toddlers very quickly allowed him to create and offer a whole range of products for children imbued with delicacy, a universe that will also be found in the range of products for the maintenance of his home. Very committed to eco-responsible and ethical values, Caroline produces in her workshop in Marseille and entrusts part of its manufacturing to a local ESAT.

In an age of homemade, hand-sewn, zero waste, it is not uncommon for companies to develop and offer creations of this nature. On the other hand, even if I agree everything is a question of taste and color, the choice of fabrics and the diversity of products clearly make the difference. Here, Caroline's universe is entirely mine: whether it's the fabrics, the formats, the models, everything is delightful, both romantic and delicate, for toddlers as well as for older ones. Here, it's the wipes of any shape we got ourselves and the photos speak for themselves. It's beautiful, it's practical, it's good for the planet and it's made in France. What more could you ask for...

MAIA is the household products brand launched by Marie Delattre in March 2021 with the desire to restore confidence in these everyday products, through natural and healthy compositions, and to give a real boost to controversial ingredients. Mother of a fragile little girl, she wanted to launch her own line of products in which she could have absolute confidence, finding that the market was sorely lacking in brands that were reliable but nevertheless sensory and pleasant to use. To meet the need for transparency, the brand displays color: no use of palm oil, 100% recycled bottles, 99% ingredients of natural origin and guaranteed Cruelty Free (no animal suffering generated during manufacturing). Manufacturing is 100% French in Avignon and the brand benefits from Ecocert certification, considered to be the most demanding and reliable label in terms of traceability and product quality. In addition, compositions compatible with food contact and scents created specifically for the brand in Grasse.

A fan of household products that give great importance to sensuality and healthy compositions in order to make household chores more pleasant, MAIA has been an everyday essential since almost its release. You will have understood through this site, I like to discover and test new products, so, even if I alternate and regularly introduce new brands, some are bought regularly either because I love them, or because some of their products are better than others, or because I take advantage of promotions that allow me to replenish stocks. My favorite range at MAIA is the baby range, because of the smell that is to die for, thanks to the cotton flower that leaves a feeling of freshness and a good clean home.

Since 2020, Super Flacon has been delivering and producing local cleaning products in Paris in the 18th arrondissement, local cleaning products, delivered to your home and returnable, like the milk bottles of yesteryear. Vituperating against ordinary green-washing, our two acolytes decided to resume the entire manufacturing process by aiming for carbon neutrality, which implies glass bottles, a company located within the distribution sites, revised compositions, revised compositions, the elimination of plastic, cold manufacturing. Sold in a few local shops, the products are mainly delivered to your home by cargo bike. Once finished, the bottles are collected, brought back to the warehouse before being refilled. Driven by word of mouth, and its presence in organic stores, this brand is enjoying some success with loyal customers thanks to the instructions that allow it to reduce the cost of each bottle by €1. Initially launched around laundry, Super Flacon has expanded its range to include almost all cleaning products, its ambition being for this concept to be extended to as many people as possible, including large-scale retail stores, without losing its DNA.

We can only praise this very beautiful initiative that fills all the boxes of eco-responsibility throughout the production chain until its distribution. We can regret a visual that is not particularly dreamy, on the other hand I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the products and in particular the detergent, which beats all records in terms of quality/price ratio. A concept that is really worth the detour for daily use at a controlled and ecological cost.

Diffusing beauty that feels good, this is the objective that our creator set herself in the midst of the Covid period in the Batignolles district in Paris, after several years spent in prestigious perfume and cosmetic houses. Perfuming the toilets, a place that is both intimate and daily, according to luxury codes while fulfilling the primitive function of air fresheners, is a challenge that we had to dare to take up, the challenge being to create delicate, effective, effective, natural and environmentally friendly home fragrances. Surrounded by talented partners and in particular Eléonore de Stael in her capacity as a nose, the Domaine Singulier house was born and immediately set the tone: conveniences have their place in the art of living of our houses, and much more, they can be a place of elegance and sensuality. Domaine Singulier is the glamorous, chic and uninhibited brand that, using traditional perfumery know-how, has been able to share values around the art of living and eco-responsibility with poetry and humor.

Everything is delightful at Domaine Singulier and it must be recognized that it is quite rare to manage to arouse such olfactory and visual enthusiasm for a universe that is a bit too much relegated to be wrongly unimportant. From his newsletters to his site, which are full of anecdotes and photos that make these intimate places glamorous places, conducive to confidences, well-being and a source of inspiration for renowned photographers or movie directors, it only took a few seconds of thought and a few computer clicks to get these precious nectars. Our choice was Eau des Toilettes, with notes of Bulgarian Rose, Green Almond and Cedar, and Eau Belles Toilettes, with notes of Bergamot, Jasmine and Violet Leaves. The fragrances are delicious, the hardest part is choosing.

Located in the heart of the Phocaean city, the Fer à Cheval Savonnerie has been able to perpetuate ancestral know-how from generation to generation since 1856. In 1900, during the Universal Exhibition, the company won the gold medal for the quality of its soaps. From buyouts to mergers, it was in 2003 that the Seghin family decided to revive the original brand by flying high the colors emblematic of its know-how and making it shine in France and internationally. Today, this company remains the oldest active Marseille soap factory. Anchored in Living Heritage, it continues to make its flagship product by hand and using techniques of yesteryear, while developing a range of products essentially dedicated to home maintenance. A brand that has managed with talent to maintain its identity, know-how and maintain an art of living within our houses.

Gone are the days when cleaning products necessarily rhymed with ugly or toxic products, and when you had to hide them from the back of a closet at all costs or take a thousand precautions when using them. Fer à Cheval products are on display: they are beautiful, their containers selected and functional, the design is refined and charming, the compositions are simple, their fragrance delicate and natural. At a time when ecology and zero waste are increasingly taking center stage, (re) -discovering these products means elegantly reconnecting with the recipes of our grandmothers: black soap, Marseille soap detergents, Marseille soap, Marseille soap in chips, cubes, bars, liquid...

A friendship that was formed on the benches of the Ecole Supérieure du Parfum in Paris, a desire to co-create, and it was the beginning of an entrepreneurial adventure that began in 2018 with the desire: to perfume everyday life. By using the codes of high-end fragrances developed by our enthusiasts, they are developing a whole universe around laundry to make our homes unique and fragrant: dryer balls, mists, perfume concentrates and detergents will be anchored in eco-responsible French craftsmanship. The ingredients are carefully chosen to preserve both the environment and health, while ensuring optimal effectiveness. Over time, the range has expanded to include a few household products. All products are non-toxic and biodegradable, elegantly scented, in a spirit that is that of taking care of your home as you would take care of yourself. A beautiful human and fragrant adventure.

It usually makes you smile, but I love doing detergents, and I love doing them all the more because for a long time I have had this desire to transform certain household chores into moments of pleasure by using products that magically adorn them: products that smell good, elegant bottles, scented mists. Pikoc is luxury that feels good in everyday life. Used sparingly, it is the perfect antidote to fight against greyness and repetitive tasks. The laundry smells good, it comes out of the machines incredibly soft. A real cocooning moment.
