Garance Doré 😂
is the co-founder of Doré, the French Pharmacy skincare line that has a permanent place in my medicine cabinet. She’s also a New York Times best selling author and arguably the first fashion blogger that helped define the industry as it is today. Her blogging has migrated over to Substack, , where she covers everything from life, love, style, and everything else that comes with being a modern woman. What is your fridge philosophy?
I try the best I can!
Your fridge is always always always stocked with ____.
Butter. But right now I am traveling, I’ve been on the road for months and haven’t seen my own fridge so I try to manage as best I can.
Top condiment picks, go.
Moutarde Maille and horseradish, that’s it!
Fine, I’ll open it up to pantry too. Let’s hear your favorite snacks / pantry staples:
I love biscuits and nuts. In England, I love Digestives; in France, I love Gerblé Gouter aux Ecorces Confites. Nuts, I have a passion for pistachio.
A meal that’s on heavy rotation these days:
I have a steamer and, on a daily basis, every dinner is made in the steamer - I throw in fish and vegetables and add just a little bit of butter or olive oil.
If I am traveling and eating out, I try to eat protein and veggies and I stay away from too much sauce.
Let’s go a little deeper…
What’s the mantra you keep coming back to?
Listen to your body.
What products / practices are part of your regular mental wellness habits?
Cultivating joy and connection with others is my main wellness practice, if I am being honest!
And your physical?
My body needs to move! I’ve had a long season of traveling so my routine went out the window. But usually, I’ll try to exercise three to four times a week and I always run if I feel a bit weaker mentally. It does wonders for my mental health.
What do you think is the most underrated part of wellness?
Laughing and having a good time.
And overrated?
Measuring everything.
Picture this: you wake up one morning and feel like shit. What’s your next move:
I go out for a walk.
Give us your ride or die wellness products:
Magnesium!
One thing you do everyday that makes you the most YOU version of yourself:
Talk to my friends.
Whose taste inspires you?!
Right now, Giorgio Armani’s 80s and 90s.
The biggest thank you to Garance for sharing a taste of her busy life on the road with us. She’s the foremother to internet cool girls who write, so you can imagine how excited I am to have her on. If you’re not already, follow her on Instagram and read her Substack, and find her fridge favorites + more here.
Feel free to leave a comment or respond to this email with questions you want asked, people you want featured, or anything else that’s on your mind. Don’t be shy, I love hearing from you.
Butter and connection my kind of woman
Discovering the benefits of PM magnesium was so helpful for me when I was applying to graduate school. I had a stress induced constant eyelid twitch, and magnesium kicked it! 🙏🏻
