Jeanine's favorite

Jeanine is the assistant manager of our Gréber branch (Gatineau sector), and has been an integral part of our team for nearly ten years. Like all employees of la boite à grainsemployees, she is passionate about natural and organic products. It is therefore quite natural that she lent herself to the game of presenting us her favorite product. She even revealed two of them, from a local company, La Fée des Bois.

Why the Ocean soap bar and the Tulsi Rose herbal tea from La Fée des Bois?

The Ocean soap is formulated with shea butter. I use it as a shampoo and I like it because it contains pink Himalayan salt. It gives my hair an effect that I really like and it is nourishing, which is a good thing because I have sensitive skin.

La Fée des Bois is a local herbal farm, and their products are eco-friendly. This soap is proof of that, as it comes in a bar that you can cut into pieces to extend its shelf life.

I also really like La Fée des Bois' Pink Tulsi Herbal Tea, for several reasons. When you buy it, the colors are really attractive, and when you taste it, it tastes really good. And then it has nice medicinal properties, because this tea helps to calm down and relax. I consume it mainly in the evening.

What advice would you give to people interested in these products?

For the Ocean soap bar, you should know that it contains beeswax. I like the effect it gives to my hair, but not everyone will like it.

For the Pink Tulsi tea, I use it for its relaxing properties, but there are other interesting benefits to know. These plants help in cases of stress, chronic fatigue, ADHD, memory problems and also some stomach problems.

Let's talk about nutrition. What is a healthy diet for you?

I was raised in the country. The first thing that comes to mind are the strawberries, blackberries and wild blueberries that we used to pick in the woods. For me, a healthy diet means eating organic fruits and vegetables, without moderation.

Do you have a favorite meal of the day?

Not really a particular meal. In the morning and at lunch time, I eat a lot of fruit, vegetables and salads. For dinner, I'm more comfortable with dishes that fall into the "comfort food" category.

Do you have any healthy habits to share?

I take a lot of walks, but it's also important to work, to eat well, to relax, to have positive thoughts... It's all about balance.

Thank you Jeanine for sharing with us your favorite!
