Provence is a region in southeastern France. It borders Italy and the Mediterranean Sea. Provence is known for its diverse landscape which includes rolling vineyards, olive groves, pine forests and lavender fields.
When it comes to must-see places, we wanted the opinion of one of Provence’s biggest fans. Amy from the blog Maison de Mings loves Provence. Amy and her husband visit often and were even married in the village of Mane.
Saint-Tropez Port is one of Amy’s must-see places. If you’re there during mid-May, Amy suggests checking out Les Bravades de Saint-Tropez. This is an annual celebration where people of the town celebrate their patron saint and their military achievements.
Roussillon is another one of Amy’s favorite places. She thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent red cliffs and ochre quarries. Roussillon is situated at the foot of the Monts de Vaucluse and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. It is considered one of the most impressive villages in France.
Sénanque Abbey is near the village of Gordes and is another place that Amy adores. The abbey building is surrounded by a valley of lavender fields which are in full flower during the summer and harvested in August.
We love Provence because that’s where our products come from and they are inspired by the beautiful French countryside around them, but we wanted to ask Amy why she thinks Provence is so special. When we asked her, she told us many things, like how she enjoys walking through the streets and getting a fresh baguette. She told us the streets always smell like fresh bread and lavender. A lovely mixture if you ask us! The thing that Amy told us that stuck the most was this “Provence is a truly magical place where the sun shines brightly and the aroma of lavender drifts through the air.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.
We want to give a big thank you to Amy from Maison de Mings for providing both imagery and her kind words about her time spent in Provence.
We hope you have enjoyed learning a bit about Provence and where our products come from. If you want a little bit of France infused in your daily life, check out Amy’s blog and follow her on Instagram.

]]>We are so excited to introduce a new addition to the Via Mercato Collection. We have added Via Mercato No.9 to our lineup of Italian products. No.9 is scented with grape, black currant, and musk. It is packaged with beautiful blue, green and purple. All Via Mercato products make amazing gifts, and No.9 is no different.
Carnations come in several colors, and each one has its own meaning. Pink carnations symbolize affection, red carnations mean “I love you”, white carnations stand for pure love while yellow carnations mean rejection or disappointment. The striped carnation stands for regret that love is not shared. Snowdrops use to symbolize bad luck because they grew in graveyards. However, their meaning has changed and they now signify hope and beauty.
Violets signify watchfulness, loyalty, and faithfulness. The primrose lets someone know you cannot live without them.
Daffodils symbolize unequaled love or expressing love that cannot be rivaled or imitated. Daffodils are also often associated with death and rebirth.
The daisy signifies innocence, loyal love and purity. It is also a symbol among friends to keep a secret. Sweet peas signify blissful pleasure and are also the goodbye flower.
The lily of the valley signifies sweetness, humility and the return of happiness. They are good for showing someone that they complete your life. The hawthorn plant has also been noted for May and means hope and supreme happiness.
Most of us know that different colors of roses mean different things. Pink symbolizes happiness, red means “I love you”, white represents purity or innocence and yellow conveys jealousy (or friendship, depending on who you ask.) Honeysuckle is the other flower of June and symbolizes the everlasting bonds of love. If you are looking for rose scented items, look no further than our Rose de Mai collection.
The water lily indicates purity and majesty. The larkspur indicates the strong bonds of love. Pink larkspurs convey fickleness, white ones mean happy nature and purple represents first love. Water lily can be found in our Monet Water Lily Soap as well as in the entire line of Via Mercato No.5 products.
Like many flowers, the poppy means different things in different colors. The red poppy signifies pleasure, the white stands for consolation and the yellow indications the wishing of wealth and success. Gladiolus indicate that the heart has been pierced with love. Pavot is another word for poppy, and can be found in our Marseille Pavot Soap.
Morning glories are a simple symbol of affection. Those who rise early may be able to watch their lovely blooms open, as they are generally curled closed late in the day. Asters are mainly a symbol of powerful love.
Marigolds are often a sign of warm of fierce undying love or a way of saying that you are content with someone. Cosmos are a symbol of order, peace, and serinity.
The chrysanthemum is a powerful emblem of youth in both Chinese and Japanese culture. Traditionally the red ones mean “I love you”, the white ones mean innocence, purity and pure love and the yellow mean slighted love.
The narcissus (specifically the paperwhite) convey that you want your beloved to stay just where they are. Holly symbolizes your wish for domestic happiness.
There are twelve zodiac signs, and each sign has its own strengths and weaknesses, its own specific traits, desires and attitude towards life and people.
Recently we touched on birth flowers and what they mean. You can read that post here. This week we want to talk about Zodiac signs. Instead of your sign being determined solely by your birth month, signs are dictated by a date range. Where you fall in that date range can also play a factor in how you relate to your sign. For example, if you were born right at the beginning or end of a date range, your sign would be a cusp and you might find yourself aligning with more traits from another sign.
Another component of Zodiac signs is which element they belong to. The four elements are Fire, Water, Earth and Air.
Fire Signs: Aries, Leo and Sagittarius. Fire signs “tend to be passionate, dynamic, and temperamental. They get angry quickly, but they also forgive easily. They are adventurers with immense energy. They are physically very strong and are a source of inspiration for others. Fire signs are intelligent, self-aware, creative and idealistic people, always ready for action."
Water Signs: Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Water signs are “exceptionally emotional and ultra-sensitive. They are highly intuitive and they can be as mysterious as the ocean itself. Water signs love profound conversations and intimacy. They rarely do anything openly and are always there to support their loved ones.”
Earth Signs: Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Earth signs are “‘grounded’ and the ones that bring us down to earth. They are mostly conservative and realistic, but they can also be very emotional. They are connected to our material reality. They are practical, loyal and stable and they stick by their people through hard times.”
Air Signs: Gemini, Libra and Aquarius. Air signs are “rational, social, and love communication and relationships with other people. They are thinkers, friendly, intellectual, communicative and analytical. They love philosophical discussions, social gatherings, and good books. They enjoy giving advice, but they can also be very superficial.”
One of the best parts about knowing your Zodiac sign is getting things personalized just for you! Savon Zodiaque offers twelve shea butter enriched soaps deliciously fragranced to each unique Zodiac sign. They are packaged in fun, keepsake tins designed by illustrator Leslie Cober-Gentry.
Aquarius (January 20 - February 18) Bohemian, Woody Aromatic
Pisces (February 19 - March 20) Intuitive, Sweet Citrus
Aries (March 21 - April 19) Dynamic, Woody Citrus
Taurus (April 20 - May 20) True-hearted, Fruity Floral
Gemini (May 21 - June 20) Sparkling, Airy Floral
Cancer (June 21 - July 22) Luminescent, Aquatic Floral
Leo (July 23 - August 22) Warm, Sunny Spice
Virgo (August 23 - September 22) Elegant, Insightful Floral
Libra (September 23 - October 22) Charming, Graceful Floral
Scorpio (October 23 - November 21) Smooth, Passionate, Oriental
Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21) Fresh, Optimistic, Open Woods
Capricorn (December 22 - January 19) Audacious, Fruity Floral

When shopping for body wash, there are a lot of brands you can choose from. However, it always seems like the scent options are limited. When purchasing bar soap you (especially online) you will have WAY more options and maybe even some new scents you've never heard of!
One of the best things about bar soap is how portable it is. Bar soaps range from travel size to jumbo bars and typically come wrapped in plastic or paper. That means you can easily throw a new bar into your purse, suitcase or makeup bag when traveling. Bar soap isn't a liquid so no need to worry about the size when flying.
Speaking of the packaging of bar soap, when you opt for bars over bottles you are disposing of much less plastic. Some bars are even wrapped in paper that can be recycled much easier than a large plastic bottle. When you have soap in a bottle, there always seems to be a bit left at the bottom you can never get. With bar soap, you can use it down to a sliver and then just stick it on to your new bar! Never waste soap again.
No matter why you pick bar soap, and no matter what you use it for (hands, face, feet, body or shaving) we know you will enjoy it if you just give it a shot. For a wide selection of French Soap Bars, click here!

Here are five simple beard care tips every man should know...
Even though you don't have to shave, your beard is still going to require some care and grooming. In order to keep your beard looking good, wash it. And by that, we mean with shampoo and conditioner several times a week. This will help alleviate some of the itchiness you might otherwise experience. When you've finished washing, pat dry your beard down with a towel. Try not to get too crazy with the drying or it may result in split ends and frizz (yes, beards get those too).
That's not all...
When it actually comes time to shave your beard at the end of the month you are going to want to get a shave that is clean, close, and free of irritation.
Here's how to achieve the perfect shave...
A good shaving soap or cream is rich and creamy and will not dry out your face. It will lubricate and moisturize your face and create an extra layer that shields skin from the blade, making it glide easier. We offer both Shave Soap and Shave Cream, both enriched with Shea Oil and hydrating to your skin.
What's the real story?
If you want to see a real review of our shave soap, watch this YouTube video and see first hand how great our shave soap and cream is.
Shop Our Shave Soap and Cream:
In order to achieve a clean and smooth shave, a shaving brush is necessary. Brushes help evenly spread the shaving cream across each hair, raising them up and making it easier to shave off. They also help remove dead skin while exfoliating your skin and eliminating the chance of razor bumps.Finally, as opposed to using your hands, a shaving brush will ensure a creamy, rich lather that will lubricate both beard and skin, creating a close and clean shave.
There you have it-- five important tips for beard care and maintenance as well as how to shave a beard off when the time comes. Be sure to check out all the products we offer for men for proper skincare.
Here at the Pré de Provence office, we are lucky enough to be able to sample many of the luxurious, French soaps available in the bathroom. After many different scents and options, there is one soap that has become an office favorite that we absolutely must share with you. Introducing Peach, Fig Blossom, & Rose liquid soap, which has a sunny, fruity, and floral scent and a soft touch.
It starts with love, as do all things made in Italy. A love of beauty, artistry, and quality found throughout the local markets. A curated assortmnet of moderns fragrances inspired by journeys through those markets that celebrate flavors, aroma, and life. Not only is this soap fragrant and soft, but it is also enriched with the skin-caring ingredients of shea butter, glycerin, Italian olive oil, and cocunut oil. Via Mercato soap gently foams to remove dirt and grime leaving skin feeling loved and hydrated. Perfect for countertop and next to sinks. The very definition of Via Mercato boasts a standard of beauty and quality:
Via: Traveling through (a place) en route to a destination.
Mercato: Italian word for market.
Via Mercato offers countless soaps including bar soaps as well. To shop the entire Via Mercato collection, click here.
We understand the exhaustion and hectic schedule that comes with working full time or being a full time student. Week nights can tend to feel like there isn't much time to relax in between the commute home, making dinner, preparing for tomorrow, and getting enough sleep. Within that window of time, most of us tend to gravitate towards Netflix because it's a good way to unwind and it's easy. However, if you're feeling a lack of motivation and productivity in your week nights, we recommend putting Netflix on hold...at least for a few nights out of the week.
We've come up with five ways to relax without watching Netflix.
Taking a long, relaxing bath, especially in the winter, is the perfect cure to any Monday (or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) blues. Go all out with candles, a magazine, your favorite playlist, a glass of wine, and soothing, fragrant bath salts.
Let us help you out for the perfect bath:
At one point or another, we have all said we are meaning to read more. So why not put that into action. Settle down with a cup of green tea full of antioxidants and relax your mind and body. It doesn't have to be a novel that is overwhelming to finish. There's short stories, poetry, self help books, autobiographies of your favorite icons, etc.--anything that you want to learn more about.
Book recommendations: Emma by Jane Austen, Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote, Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur, The Gospel According to Cocoa Chanel by Karen Karbo, Bossypants by Tina Fey
When was the last time you actually sat down to have a phone call that lasted more than five minutes? In the age of texting, catching up on the phone has become less and less popular, but it can be very rewarding. When we don't have time during the week to socialize as much as we do on the weekends, it is important to still connect with others. Picking up the phone and calling a friend is a great way to do this as you'll get to hear stories and more in depth details of their life.
The worst thing about TV is that it wastes a lot of time. Spending time with a journal and self reflecting can be healthy and beneficial to you in the future. Keeping a journal is one of the best things you can do for yourself as it is a log of your life and how you felt at certain times and stages. One day, you'll want to look back and remember the specifics. It also allows you to clear your mind and get your thoughts out on paper, helping you in the present as well.
Yoga is a great way to unwind as it helps both body and mind. It can be as simple as doing a few stretches and meditations before bed to get you into a relaxed and tired state for sleep. It can also be beneficial if you routinely practice and allow your body to strengthen itself.
We hope these ideas have inspired you to find ways to relax during the week.

At Pre de Provence, we are promoters of the finer things in life, however, we understand that the finer things in life are often not in the budget. We believe that natural beauty should be an everyday, affordable luxury that doesn't have to break the bank. You deserve to be pampered on a daily basis so we've come up with five ways you can experience affordable luxury.
Take a Sunday and focus the entire day on self care and relaxation. Sleep in, wake to natural sunlight, stay away from your phone, and put some lemon in your water to help you stay energized and hydrated. Start the day with a refreshing shower with our Eaux Fraiches Shower Gel for a soft cleanse while the uplifting spa scents fill your bathroom. For a delicate, soft cleanse, try our Rose De Mai Shower Gel, leaving skin soft to the touch.
Then move on to moisturizing. We recommend pairing the Rose De Mai Shower Gel with Rose De Mai Body Lotion. If you want to switch it up, try our Lavender body lotion.
Once you have moisturized and feel soft to the touch, settle into a good book, make a delicious lunch, and enjoy the rest of your relaxing day.
If it's been a long, stressful day and you need something to make it feel less like a weekday, fill the tub and soak your worries away. For the full effect, compliment your bath with French wine, macaroons, flowers, hand crafted bar soap, scented candles, and bath salts. For an extra touch of luxury and comfort, add our Microfibre Luxury Bath Pillow, which is the perfect size for any bathtub.
Shop Bath Essentials:
Sometimes it is okay to do nothing for an entire day. Allow yourself a day to rest and relax before your busy schedule starts again. Bring your breakfast to your bed, read magazines, watch your favorite, old movies (our go to actress is Audrey Hepburn), write in your journal, drink your coffee or tea, listen to a few albums--whatever it is you love doing. While doing all these soothing activities, enjoy the luxury of fragrant bed sheets with our Lavender Blossoms and Lavender Linen Water with Sprayer. Simply place or spray the fragrance on whatever garments you wish to delicately give a sweet, calming scent.
Shop Lavender Fragrance:
Luxury can be as simple as consistently using a product that is high quality and made with care. A Pre de Provence favorite is our Signature French Milled Soaps. With endless scents (rose petal, rosemary mint, jasmine, sandalwood, wildflower--just to name a few) and all natural ingredients enriched with Shea Butter, our handcrafted soaps from Provence add a little luxury to any day. Click here to shop all of our scents.
Finally, let's not forget that men deserve to be pampered too. A classic way for men to experience luxury is through a good shave. To many, shaving is an art. It's a way to get ready for the day and feel some relaxation and comfort in the process. Pre de Provence understands this and that's why we've composed an entire collection dedicated to that care and luxury that men need.
Shop Men's Collection:
Luxury doesn't have to be a far off, rare occurrence. With the right mindset and proper tools, everyday luxury can become an integral part of any routine! To view our entire collection of everyday luxuries, click here.
]]>Lavender is a lovely, soft way to add fragrance and soothing effects to any home. It's likely you have heard about the calming effects of essential oils, but maybe aren't sure if they are for you. Lavender oil is a wonderful way to dip your toes into the world of essential oils.
Lavender soothes with its herbaceous, calming fragrance directly from the fields of Provence. The lavender essential oil has been noted to play a role in better sleep, stress and anxiety relief, proper hair care, strong immune systems, and overall relaxation.

To maintain healthy and beautiful skin, the French know it's important to take care with what you use. When it comes to soaps or perfumes, naturally derived scents from actual flowers, herbs or spices not only make bathing or pampering all the more luxurious, but healing and nourishing to your body (like this line of authentic french soaps).
Every day skin is exposed to free radical stressors (i.e. pollution, sunlight, poor diet and stress) that rob skin of needed nutrients to help keep skin rejuvenated. Antioxidants help protect your skin from free radicals. Argan Oil is abundant in antioxidants needed to help neutralize these effects. This skin care line not only smells wonderful, but is abundant in Argan Oil.

Deep beneath the Provencal lavender fields and sun-kissed skies, lay the therapeutic wonders of countless, natural springs. A magical source of restorative benefits for both skin and spirit that have lured generations in search of soothing oneself.
