Philips DiamondClean 300 Series Toothbrush

Posted on July 1, 2014 | Leave a comment

Have you ever thought to connect your toothbrush to your laptop?

To recharge? No! Then what follows will captivate you! I tested the latest Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 300 Series.

Classy, all dressed in black, with different brushing mode that appear discreetly on the sleeve. I am a visual and enjoy design in all its forms. Beautiful object easy to use with good ergonomics.

First I thought the glass of the Sonicare was to rinse the mouth. No – read the instructions! The glass is used to charge the toothbrush only. Do I need adding that my family team which assisted me (I hate reading manuals alone), was equally baffled (LOL!).

But what really cracked me is the USB port that allows to connect the elegant box of the toothbrush, to a computer for charging when you’re on a trip. So chic!

Yep we could use batteries or plug it into an outlet (boring). But why? Why when you can connect it to your computer? I love the concept!

I took my Sonicare on press trips. No need to mention that we became inseparable … yes like in ads! I’m a kind of traveler that packs light and ultra compact, while taking a lot of things (especially to prepare my look books)!

The Sonicare is featherweight and has excellent battery life. And its ergonomic lightweight box easily fits in a suitcase or handbag of a “real” girl (tote or shopping bag, the “changing” bag following us all day, not miniature clutch of the latest fashionista!).

I’m not going to make it long about the different brushing modes: same principle than for all electric toothbrushes! After according to each one’s needs, you choose whether to use the “Polish” or “Clean” mode etc …

Philips: Brosse à dents Sonicare DiamondClean 300 Series

Posted on June 30, 2014 | Leave a comment

Avez-vous jamais pensé à connecter votre brosse à dents à votre portable?

Pour la recharger? Non, vraiment pas. Alors ce qui suit va vous captiver! J’ai testé la petite dernière Philips Sonicare DiamondClean 300 Series.

Classieuse, toute de noir vêtue, avec les différents mode de brossage qui s’affichent discrètement sur le manche. Je suis une visuelle, amoureuse du design sous toute ses formes. Bel objet très simple d’utilisation, offrant une bonne ergonomie.

J’ai d’abord pensé que le verre qui accompagne la Sonicare était pour se rincer la bouche. Que nenni – en lisant la notice! Le verre sert à recharger la brosse à dents. J’ajoute que l’équipe familiale qui m’assistait (je déteste lire les notices seule), était tout aussi déroutée que moi (LOL!).

Mais ce qui m’a fait vraiment craquer, c’est la prise USB qui permet lors d’un voyage, de connecter l’élégant boitier de la brosse à dents, à un ordinateur pour la recharger. So chic!

Oui, on pourrait comme le commun se contenter de piles, ou encore de la brancher directement sur secteur. Mais pourquoi quand on peut la connecter à son ordinateur? J’adore!

Ni une ni deux, j’ai emmené ma Sonicare en presse trips. Autant dire qu’on ne se quitte plus elle et moi… oui comme dans la pub! Suis du genre à voyager ULTRA léger et compact, tout en emportant pas mal de choses (surtout pour préparer mes look books)!

Poids plume, la Sonicare a une excellente autonomie. Et son boîtier, léger et ergonomique, se glisse facilement dans une valise, ou dans le sac à main d’une “vraie” fille (fourre-tout ou cabas, le sac évolutif qui nous suit toute une journée, pas la pochette miniature d’une dernière fashionista!).

Je ne me suis pas appesantie sur les différents modes de brossage (le principe même de toutes les brosses à dents électriques), car je prends pour acquis que l’essentiel y est. Après en fonction de ses besoins propres, on choisira d’utiliser ou non le mode “Polish” ou “White” etc…

BEAUTE, COMMENT PREPARER SON VOYAGE & DESTINATIONS

Cologne, Germany: The Belgian Quarter, Belgisches Viertel

Posted on June 10, 2014 | Leave a comment

I’ve never thought of Cologne

as a trendy destination to spend a weekend if Thalys was not invited me to the event Le Bloc in the Belgian Quarter, the hipster Babel with the streets names: Brüsseler Str., Antwerpener Str. and Genter Str.!

I arrive in Cologne with an incredible blue sky, blazing sun and 30°! The station is opposite the famous Cathedral (massive). And the Belgian Quarter is 10 minutes by taxi, about 20 minute walk or 2 metro stations.

Here Pharrell could have filmed a sequence shot of Happy!

It feels good instantly, arty atmosphere (without attitude) and smiling people. I walk from one designer shop to another, when I find a pastry with amazing couture cakes (picture 7, N°2).

I also notice shops with well known brands such as Marimekko (picture above), flea markets and welcoming shaded terraces (I do like!). And quite unusual for me, people walk with their beer in hand day and night.

Le block has highlighted designers for seven years.

This event focuses on fashion, design and music in Cologne. This year among the special guests: Conni Kaminski from Brussels and Toos Franken from Antwerp.

After the fashion shows, invited by the Flandern, we head towards Franz, a very nice small restaurant (picture below, Nos. 1 & 2), featuring an assortment of flammekueches with extra fine paste and varied flavors (salmon, goat-zucchini …). Plus an exclusive live of the beautiful Mariama, a German folk singer living in Paris who plays for us only! Then Conni joined us.

Around midnight, the streets are crowded (pictured below, No. 3, a wood bar). Happy vibe, people talk and drink next to the bar. We choose an outdoor bar at random. After several cocktails, a diet coke for me and more giggles, I collapsed on my bed at 3am!

My tip : Book your hotel in the Belgian Quarter if you like to go out at night. There are many nice bars and small restaurants. Walking distances: you can do everything on foot in the neighborhood.

I was a guest of Thalys and these are my opinions of course!
