Here it is for 10 days of travel in a nut shell! Last time was September so it can get a bit tricky because of the weather.
First and foremost make sure your suitcase has the correct dimensions for European travel, plus only 22lbs allowed. I know, that sounds crazy, but it will work! Plus I love carryon, just grab and go!
In my tote (which hooks onto my suitcase handle) I always have my small purse, passport, ID, some cash, debit and credit card, phone, earphones, small charger, 2 books, notepad, pens, supplements, water, Dr. Lucy skincare (I brought 2 kits for 10 days last time),makeup, mini blow dryer, mini cosmetic mirror, hair brush and clips, toothbrush, mini toothpaste, large scarf/wrap, lightweight sweater(planes are cold!) dried fruit and nuts.
In my suitcase (hard shell, carry-on), I swear by packing cubes. I promise they really work for condensing your clothes. Tops, shirts, pants, dresses, under garments, etc, each have their own cube!
I packed 2 summer shoes and a pair of ankle boots. 4 t-shirts, 2 shirts, jeans, black and white pants, 2 t-shirt dresses and one nice summer dress, a skirt, light weight blazer, bathing suit(for my stop over in Marina di Pisa to see friends), underclothes for everyday, a silk, short, lightweight robe. That’s about it!
True Story!
The other day someone said to me, “I don’t like French skincare”. When I asked, “why don’t you like French skincare?” They said they had never tried it and weren’t sure. This immediately gave me a flash back to when my kids were little and I was introducing a new vegetable into their world. They would usually start out by saying, “I don’t like that”, and I would say, “just try one bite, this tastes really good and you just might like it!”
Moral of the story?
Most people agree, a fresh, natural and botanical skin care routine is preferred over a rancid, chemical skin care routine. Just saying.
The French philosophy on beauty is simply to make looking great and aging well a part of your daily life…naturally!
What’s happening inside your makeup sponge?!
It goes without saying that you need to clean your makeup sponges. But as it turns out, washing them with soap and water isn’t enough.
Some beauty bloggers cut their sponges open to see how clean they were inside. As you would imagine, they found lots of old foundation inside. But here’s the problem: this is the perfect breeding ground for mold, fungus, and bacteria ... including dangerous strains like E coli and Staphylococci.
One blogger even found bugs inside her sponge!, Says Dr. Janet Zand
Beauty Sponge or Brushes? We vote brushes every time! Wash with soap, rinse and let dry on their side.
Clean brushes = beautiful skin!

Are serums really better at fighting skin aging that moisturizers?
Serums typically have a better ability to do a hydration and nutrient dense 'deep dive' into your skin layers more effectively than moisturizers. The reason why is because the molecules are smaller and are able to penetrate the skin on a deeper level, healing tissue, boosting collagen, evening out skin tone, and aiding in cellular renewal and regeneration! I'm telling you, serum can be your magical wand for youthful skin in the years to come!

Your Earth Day Special Is Here!
Elite "first responders" excited to have Dr. Lucy Touché and policemen LEGOs in their Easter baskets! My kind of guys!
Just wanted to quickly share an order that came in this morning from first responders in Vancouver WA! What an honor!
Why are we different?
We have a special blend of 70% (CDC recommends at least 60% to be effective) sustainable, non-GMO'd Ethanol Alcohol that softens and moisturizes vs. Isopropyl Alcohol that irritates and dries out your skin. Plus, quite frankly, Isopropyl Alcohol is toxic to your skin, respiratory system and endocrine system! Other major natural ingredients are deionized water (chemicals and toxins are taken out) and six very particular citrus essential oils that have highly effective antiviral, antibacterial, antifungal, antimicrobial, antiseptic and disinfectant properties.
Note: Do not swallow or allow children to handle.
P.S. Please don't forget to share this update with your friends and families, first responders, takeout restaurants, people with compromised immune systems, and the list goes on!
P.P.S. We thought ahead so we should (hopefully) have an ongoing supply of Touché for a very long time!
Let us know if you have any concerns or questions, we are here for you!
Always with love,
Rebecca
