Anya was a girl with hair that cascaded down her back like a waterfall of midnight silk. From a young age, she had learned to care for her hair, braiding it into intricate patterns, adorning it with flowers, and even using it to tie up her belongings.
Every day, she would venture into the heart of the forest, seeking out the deepest, most secluded river. There, she would wash her hair in the cool, crystal-clear water, letting the natural elements nourish and strengthen it.
Tragedy struck Anya when she was falsely accused of a crime and imprisoned. The walls of the dungeon were cold and damp, and the food was meager. But Anya never lost hope. She knew that her hair, her greatest asset, could be her salvation... blablabla... We can easily imagine Anya braiding a rope with her long, strong hair to descend from that slippery, damp tower without a hitch, and perhaps even live happily ever after.
This charming tale highlights the strength of well-cared-for hair—a story we’ve all heard at least once as little girls or boys. It’s a light and fitting introduction to the subject we’re diving into together: our crowns, our manes, our beloved locks, currently at a critical stage in their journey—post-summer, pre-winter...






As this 2025 period started, we're clearly back into the cocooning season—the time of fluffy, warm scarves, oversized coats you can fully wrap yourself in, and soft wool-lined gloves... Back to more sophisticated yet cozy looks. Let’s admit, a Brussels winter is easier than in many other major cities across the globe.



And thankfully, there are still plenty of cafés where we can seek refuge, claiming we’re better off indoors, only to indulge in a comforting slice of cake.
Winter delights aren’t just about the magical holiday season in Brussels; they’re also about embracing the codes and habits that come with colder days, and braving the famous Brussels rain that somehow manages to fall sideways, propelled by icy gusts that turn our umbrellas skyward and utterly useless at protecting our crowns.
