Brunch cu fetele

Brunch cu fetele

Duminica, m-am intalnit cu castigatoarele concursului organizat recent pe blog impreuna cu elmiplant la un brunch la mine acasa, mai exact in Studio Moon. Hai sa va povestesc cum a fost…

 

EN: On Sunday, I met with the winners of the contest recently organized on the blog together with elmiplant, for a brunch at my house, to be more precise in Moon Studio. Let me tell what it was like…

A fost odata ca niciodata o duminica dimineata cu o vreme mohorata, de nu i-ai fi scos nici pe Yorick si pe Perdita din casa. Si taman in duminica asta, putin inainte de ora pranzului, 10 fete cucuiete s-au adunat si au povestit, pana ce s-o intunecat de-a binelea.

Uneori uit cat de misto sunteti voi, cele care ma urmariti (sa ma scuze domnii, dar concursul in cauza era adresat exclusiv femeilor). Adica sigur ca va simt din comentarii, ca va recunosc mesajele, dar abia cand ajung sa va intalnesc fata-n fata realizez ca noi toate care stam pe acest blog suntem facute din acelasi aluat. Exact asta a fost sentimentul pe care l-am avut la finalul intalnirii. Pentru ca am ales 10 fete complet random, nu am ales dupa vreun anumit criteriu invitatele. Si cumva pe toate ti le-ai fi dorit numaidecat ca prietene. Pot confirma si ele, mai ales ca la final si-au cerut una alteia adresele de mail sau paginile de Facebook.

E greu sa organizezi intalniri la care invitatii nu cunoasc pe nimeni altcineva de dinainte. Sa zicem ca invitatele ma stiau cat de cat pe mine, adica stiau unde vin macar 🙂 Asa ca, pentru a sparge bariera de inceput, am asezat intr-un bol mai multe biletele cu intrebari, prin care sa ne cunoastem mai bine: de la “care este cartea preferata”, pana la “recomanda o reteta de prajituri ori una de scrub”. Cel mai apreciat biletel, la care toata lumea a simtit nevoia sa faca completari a fost: “Acum e momentul sa te plangi de orice.”

In felul acesta ne-am relaxat si am putut sa ne bem ciocolata calda linistite – nu “in liniste”, pentru ca Vlad si-a facut simtit prezenta pe prima parte a intalnirii, pana cand Radu l-a luat si au plecat la o plimbare catre Rulota Moon.

Asadar, vreau sa le multumesc inca o data fetelor pentru deschiderea de care au dat dovada, pentru felul in care au intrat imediat in joc si pentru toate sfaturile si povestile de viata impartasite. Si apreciez si ca s-au straduit sa respecte dress code-ul si au purtat cate ceva rosu, ca sa intram cumva in atmosfera de “pre-sarbatori”.

Va spun cat se poate de sincer, ca e minunat sa descoperi ce oameni frumosi te urmaresc. Cand o sa mai am dubii vreodata cu privire la calitatea publicului din mediul online, cel pe care ai rare ocazii sa il intalnesti pe viu, atunci o sa mai organizez o astfel de intalnire, si sigur ma voi linisti.

Invitatele mele au primit cadou din partea elmiplant cate un “kit de vreme rece” – creme hidratante, uleiuri de corp, creme de maini… – adica produse despre care va vorbisem aici. Si apropo de articolul legat de ingrijirea in sezonul rece, am realizat ca am omis sa va vorbesc despre gelurile de dus. In timpul verii am folosit in exces gelul de dus Aqua Breeze, doar ca in perioada aceasta le prefer pe cele creme. Si am doua preferate de la elmiplant, pe care vi le recomand:

 – Gelul de dus elmiplant Nourishing Touch cu miere si iaurt, conceput pentru ingrijirea intensiva a pielii. Vitaminele, mineralele si acizii grasi din aceasta combinatie de ingrediente ajuta la hidratarea eficienta a pielii uscate, conferindu-i elasticitate si hranire in profunzime…. si

– Gelul de dus elmiplant Yummy Delight cu vanilie si lamaie, care invaluie fin pielea in arome delicioase. Extractul de vanilie ajuta la hidratarea si catifelarea pielii, aroma dulce oferind relaxare, iar uleiul esential de lamaie imbunatateste tonusul pielii si o revitalizeaza.

Chiar sunt yummy, iti vine sa le mananci, si hidrateaza mai bine pielea decat gelurile de dus clasice, transparente, pentru ca gelurile de dus crema de la elmiplant se caracterizeaza printr-o combinatie unica de ingrediente naturale, textura cremoasa și pH echilibrat. Agenții de curatare mild din formula gelurilor cremoase purifica si ingrijesc delicat epiderma, iar untul de shea 100% organic, prezent in toate variantele de gel de dus cremă, hraneste pielea, lasand-o catifelata si hidratata.

Daca le cautati in magazine, sa stiti ca gelurile de la elmiplant si-au schimbat ambalajul si arata mult mai bine, avand in prim-plan ingredientele naturale principale ce se regasesc in formulele produselor. Cred ca vedeti si in imagine mesajul “0% Paraben Paraffin Colorant”, care mai mult ca sigur ca va incanta.

Si daca tot am atins subiectul geluri si creme elmiplant, le rog pe fete, daca au testat produsele, sa ne dea si un feedback.

La brunch am purtat: salopeta Deilani, pantofi H&M.

EN: Once upon a gloomy Sunday morning, right before lunch, 10 girls have got together and chatted until it got really dark outside.

Sometimes I forget how cool those of you following me really are (gentlemen, please excuse me, but this particular contest was just for the ladies). I definitely feel you through your comments, I recognize your messages, but it’s only when I get to meet you face to face that I realize that all of us on this blog are made from the same dough. This was the exact feeling I had at the end of our meeting. Because I have chosen 10 girls completely random, not after a certain criteria. And somehow you would have wanted them all to be your friends. They can also confirm, especially since at the end they all exchanged email addresses and Facebook pages.

It’s hard to organize meetings where the guests don’t know each other. Let’s say the guests only knew me, or at least they knew where they were coming to:) So, in order to break the ice, I placed a bowl with little pieces of papers which had questions written on them, so we could get to know each other better: from “what is your favorite book”,  to “recommend a cake recipe and one for a scrub”. The most appreciated piece of paper, to which everyone felt the need of making comments was: “Now it’s to complain about everything you want.”

In this manner we relaxed and could enjoy our hot chocolate in quiet- well, not so quiet, because Vlad was there for the first part of the meeting, until Radu took him for a ride to the Moon Trailer.

So, I would like to thank the girls once more for their openness, for the way in which they played along right from the beginning and for all their advice and life stories. And I also appreciated that they respected the dress code by wearing something red, so we could get into the pre holiday atmosphere.

I’m telling you in all honesty, it’s wonderful to discover the beautiful people following you. Whenever I’m in doubt again about the quality of the online audience, the one which you rarely get to meet in person, I will definitely organize such a meeting again, because then I’ll be happy with the results.

My guests received from elmiplant a “cold weather kit”- hydrating creams, body oils, hand creams… – the products I had already talked to you about here. And by the way, I forgot to mention the shower gels in my post about skin care during cold weather. During the summer I have used the shower gel  Aqua Breeze excessively, but during this time I prefer the cream ones. And I have two favorites from elmiplant, which I recommend:

 – the elmiplant shower gel Nourishing Touch with honey and yoghurt, conceived for intensive skin care. The vitamins, minerals and fat acids from this ingredient combination help efficiently hydrate dry skin, by giving it elasticity and thorough nourishment…and  

– the elmiplant shower gel Yummy Delight with vanilla and lemon, which wrap the skin in delicious flavors. The vanilla extract help hydrating the skin and making it softer, and the sweet flavor give relaxation, while the essential oil improves the skin tonus and revitalize it.

They really are yummy, you feel like eating them, and they hydrate the skin better than classical shower gels, see-through, because the cream shower gels from elmiplant are characterized by a unique combination of natural ingredients, creamy texture and balanced pH. The mild cleaning agents in the creamy gels formula purify and delicately care for the epidermis, and the 100% organic Shea butter, present in all cream shower gels, nourishes the skin, leaving it fine and hydrated.

If you look for them in the stores, you should know that the elmiplant gels have changed their packaging and that they look much better, having the main natural ingredients from the products’ formulas in the center of attention. I think you can also see the message in the picture “0% Paraben Paraffin Colorant”, which will more than certainly delight you.

And since I touched the topic of elmiplant gels and creams, I am asking the girls, who have already tried out the products, to give us some feedback.  

At the brunch I wore: Deilani jumpsuit, H&M shoes.
