A Case of the Perpetual Sundays

March 7, 2010

First off – Thank you for your honest and encouraging comments on my post about the ideal size and slenderness last Friday. It’s quite amazing how many people share some of the same thoughts, and I appreciate everyone opening up. I’m certainly going to read through those comments when I need a lift
 
I spent [...]

Nothin’ Like a Little Inspiration

March 4, 2010

I’ve been excited about today since the semester started. It was the first day of our photography class, which is called Le Flâneur Reconsidered: Documentary Photography in the Streets of Paris. Insert gasps of excitement here.
 
I, of course, woke up at 7:00am in anticipation and like any dorky kid on the first day of [...]

Gluttonasana aka You Got Butter On My Yoga Mat

March 1, 2010

A friend and I went to Le Cameleon today, a little restaurant right next to school in lovely Montparnasse. We enjoyed a three course lunch.
 
Yep, you heard me. Three courses. For lunch. If three courses for lunch is wrong, then I don’t want to be right.
 
I started with the saumon [...]

Food and Yoga; My two favorite things.

February 26, 2010

Last night my roommate and I ventured out to have dinner at a restaurant suggested to us by several of our friends called Le Cambodge. We left early partly because we heard that quite the line can build up at this restaurant before it opens and partly because it was a beautiful evening and we [...]

Butter and Frenglish and All Things Paris

February 25, 2010

I had a thought this morning as I ate my petit déjeuner, squealing with delight over my simple little slice of GF toast with French butter and Bonne Maman…

French Butter - Could it, in fact, be the answer to world peace? There I sat, savoring every bite of my fried eggs and toast with creamy, [...]

Airing My Dirty Laundry

February 23, 2010

Mondays are always fun. The last remnants of that glorious weekend feeling are wearing off (well, not so much in my case – my calves and hiney are still sore from all those walks I took!), and the reality of a new week is setting in which means there are several tasks that need to [...]

The Olive Man, and other tales from the weekend.

February 21, 2010

I was so excited to share my day with you yesterday. I had spent my morning wandering through Marché Saxe-Breteuil, one that is quickly becoming my favorite in Paris. Every time I go, I drool over the amazing produce and prepared foods, and especially this one stand in particular. They sell olives and other Mediterranean [...]

The Plan That Wasn’t

February 19, 2010

I’m a day person. Mornings are my thing. Yep, I’m one of those obnoxious morning people that wakes up chipper and ready to go, bouncing off the walls and singing whatever song I wake up with in my head.
 
Nights? Not so much. I always joke that I turn into a pumpkin around midnight. I’ve [...]

Once upon a time, there was a young girl living in Paris…

February 17, 2010

She had spent the day perusing the market, nervously ignoring the stares, and the kisses being blown from the creepy produce guy at the bio stand. Vous êtes Américaine? he asked between his obnoxious whistling and taking her money for the red bell peppers that were too pretty to pass up.
 
“Oui, Je suis étudiant.” [...]
