The first star and which we will often talk about this year in France is called Barb Stegemann, creator of The 7 Virtues. Born in Montreal, this "wonder woman" as she is called across the Atlantic, has made a beautiful story out of her life. Media entrepreneur and inspired businesswoman, where she goes, everything succeeds. With her well-being product lines, Barb has changed the image of cosmetics for everyone, thanks to this requirement, to this philosophy which places humans and nature back in the middle of society. Its perfume is in the ranking of the best at Sephora. The public today acclaims his approach. Find good environmental practices with soft scents, touches of elegance that participate in the essential rites of beauty when it is above all a question of taking care of oneself. Barb Stegemann approaches her days by staying on course with her mission of serving others, by creating a range of solutions to feel good naturally, and by being attentive to the causes that mobilize our world, in a spirit of continuous civic solidarity. . A woman to know, a woman to follow.

Then, and in a completely different area, generosity also has a place when it comes to talking about our elders. From those delicate and delicious actions that are directed towards those who, with age, end up being alone and isolated. This is the case of “Etoilés & Solidaires” which brings together starred chefs, personalities with seniors, who have remained in the shadows. Caocao, the responsible vtc application, concerned about the environment, has chosen to join the principle by proposing to transport each other so that the chefs can cook with the VIPs of the moment, and offer a palette of flavors tasty for older people. Mission accomplished recently with the host Jamy Gourmaud and the aces of the kitchens Nicolas Paciello and Guillaume Goupil. It's a nice way to say that cooking is eaten with the heart!

The heart is also at the center of Valentine's Day, which approaches with the month of February. 14 is the key number. This key that opens the doors of love for a day and to repeat it over and over again. Chef Franck Enée, the shining star of the kitchens of the "W" restaurant at Warwick Paris, and his team are already mobilized to thrill the taste buds and hearts. By unveiling his card today, the invitation is launched. She has this invitation, this irresistible side that pushes you to take the plunge with the chosen one, sit down at the table, close your eyes and hear in the voice of Yves Le Pezron, the catering director, the poetry of the menu: " tender and suave appetizers; beginnings of a sweet evening; iodized side pan-fried in the heart; tenderly braised medallion; ever sweeter love”. What a program to experience, from 7 p.m. on February 14, at 5 rue de Berri, Paris 8th! (Phone 01.45.61.82.08)

Before savoring exquisite recipes and if we sang capital love! These two Portuguese artists know the rules, they know how to enchant the crowds. And put this atmosphere that invites you to stay a whole evening, a whole night dancing, carried by voices and music. Tony Carreira is a king that Europe adores. There is velvet in his art, elegance in his style, and always this romantic ease which magnetizes delicately, to the sound of his twirling songs (At the Olympia, February 5 and on tour throughout France). As for Mariza, the diva of these great contemporary voices rewarded all over the world, she has made her new album "Mariza canta Amalia" the promise of these shows that we cannot forget, so much the truth of her talent is imposes on every emotion (Au Grand Rex, February 19). Enchantment has found its artists.

He too enchants, but with his images. Not to transport us far, and make us dream, but to bring us back to reality. His enchantment is rather in his commitment to photography. He enchants because his talent as a photographer is immediately obvious and he opens everyone's eyelids to what has challenged him in the world.
