The coeur rose event organised by Kalia Nature is part of Pink October, the breast cancer awareness campaign.
This initiative aims to inform, support and bring women together around prevention and early detection of the disease. With a coeur rose, Kalia Nature promotes well-being and natural beauty as ways to reconnect with oneself during or after illness.
The influence of cosmetics on women
Cosmetics play an important role in shaping self-image and self-confidence for many women. They allow women to express their personality and meet social beauty standards that are often promoted by the media. However, this influence can also create aesthetic pressure and a sometimes complex relationship with the body. More and more brands are now promoting natural and inclusive beauty, valuing diversity.
We heard from Sandrine Coulibaly, founder of Belle & Care. She is an oncology nurse whose role is to support women in their fight against cancer. The association aims to improve the well-being of women affected by cancer through socio-aesthetic care workshops. The association travels to hospitals throughout the Île-de-France region and has no fixed headquarters. It relies on donations and the help of volunteers.
Self-confidence and reclaiming your femininity
Self-confidence is the inner conviction to believe in your abilities and potential to face life’s challenges. According to Cœur Rose, reclaiming your femininity after an illness allows women to find or rediscover themselves. Fanny Miosotis, founder of Maquille Mon Krâne, is a committed make-up artist who uses her art to help people affected by cancer or hair loss. Through her project, she restores confidence and self-esteem to women by helping them reclaim their image.
Annadja is a passionate image coach who helps women enhance their appearance and personal identity. She helps each woman reveal her personality through style, posture and non-verbal communication. Her caring approach aims to boost self-confidence and reconnect external image with inner well-being. Annadja embodies a vision of makeovers as a tool for personal fulfilment and self-esteem.
Testimonials and shared experiences
For coeur rose, sharing real-life experiences humanises an often abstract subject. They offer moral support to those going through similar situations, showing them that they are not alone. Through personalised advice, they promote positive and authentic transformation. They inspire resilience and give confidence in the possibility of overcoming difficulties. This creates a bond of solidarity and kindness between women, based on listening and sharing. Nadège 100gène is a French comedian known for her authentic, committed and self-deprecating tone. She tackles social issues such as illness, body image, femininity and resilience with humour, particularly after having faced cancer herself. Through her shows and speeches, she uses laughter as a tool for healing and liberation. Her kind-hearted humour helps to play down difficult experiences and raise public awareness of important causes.
Nadège Mongerard is a strong, courageous and inspiring voice for female humour. Joana Grisez is a French professional rugby player, known for her dynamism and commitment on the field. Her determination and team spirit make her an inspiring figure in women’s sport. She embodies the values of courage, solidarity and pushing oneself beyond one’s limits that are characteristic of rugby. Joana Grisez thus contributes to the visibility and recognition of women in high-level sport and takes the opportunity to highlight causes such as breast cancer.
