Roxanne's favorite

Assistant to the General Manager, Roxanne joined La Boite à Grains at the beginning of 2021. At a complex time for any company, in the midst of the pandemic, she took on the role head on and integrated quickly. After a few weeks, it was as if she had been part of the family forever.

Roxanne had a successful career in the hotel industry before moving to our supermarket health. "It's the human side that stands out for me here at La Boite à Grains. We are given the opportunity to grow, learn and continue to grow within the company."

Roxanne presents her favorite products from Acure, the cleansing gel and the facial scrub from the Brightening collection.

Why these two products from Acure?

I discovered them here at La Boite à Grains. I will say that I have been using them for a year now the cleansing gel and three months the face scrub.

I have given myself the mandate to take care of my skin, something I was not doing before. By having a good skincare routine, I realized that the most important thing was the quality, the origin of the ingredients, their impact on our body and the environment. A friend of mine opened my eyes to the cruelty-free and vegan world, and it is now non-negotiable for me.

As for the two Acure products, I appreciate the simplicity of the ingredients, the fact that they are 100% natural and vegan. I see the benefits, my skin is soft and healthy.

I use the cleansing gel twice a day, in the morning and also at night to remove my makeup. The exfoliatorthree times a week to remove dirt and impurities.

And the price/quality ratio is excellent!

Do you have any tips to share about using these products?

I think you should start with the basics, which is to use the face wash every day. I know that sometimes skin care is less important for men, but it works too.

All kinds of dirt, pollutants, get deposited on our skin... so you have to take care of it by having a good routine, in order to have good results on the long term.

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

Healthy eating wasn't important to me before, and it has become so. It's about balance, making sure you eat fruits and vegetables every day, but also having fun.

I'm not going to deprive myself of eating chips or pizza for example, but I'm going to be more careful about my choices during the day.

Do you have a favorite meal of the day?

I would have to say dinner. I love to cook, to take the time to prepare meals for my three children, or guests when I have people over. Seeing people enjoy what you have prepared with passion is priceless.

At home, we eat a lot of chicken dishes, or lasagna, the kids love it. I take great pleasure in hiding a lot of vegetables in it! (laughs).

Do you have any healthy habits to share?

I work out in the morning, 5 to 6 times a week, it's a good way for me to start the day positively.

Other than that, I have integrated greens into my daily diet, and I also take several supplements, probiotics, magnesium, omega-3. I became aware of the importance of doing this thanks to La Boite à Grains.

And I see the difference, I feel the benefits, both in terms of my energy and my general well-being.

Thank you, Roxanne, for sharing with us your favorite!
