Sleep Routine.... None
ARRRRRRRRGGGGHHH, I just need one nights good sleep. Im waking up in pain at around 4pm and not getting back off to sleep. I suffer bad with chronic fatigue but it makes all my muscles inflame, and you develop rhematism which is so annoying & painful. Please be aware I am not going to go on & on about my illness, I live with it day in day out & I really don’t want to start...

Must Drink More Water....
Day 10, and I’m not keeping up with the amount of water I should be drinking daily. It does feel like a chore but it shouldn’t really, and its so annoying because I do see all the benefits I feel better & look better for it. But because it’s still snowing all I want is hot drinks..
Today has been a let down and I have only myself to blame, there is someone out there that...

An Evening At Chanel.....
I have been waiting to down load these photos for a while. But I have turned into a makeup snob. And it’s perfect to fit in with my new French lifestyle. But before I started to wear Chanel makeup ( only been wearing it for 2 months) I can say I have never looked back. Even the bottle of foundation in it’s self is a little touch of class on anyones dressing table.
I used ( shameful )...

Now christmas is over all the Chanel adverts have stopped, and this only occured to me when I was thinking about what could be my next French blog.
They are so magical I can’t understand why they Don’t run them on television often. But I suppose they won’t seem as magical if they did do that.
Which ones do you remember???
Which one was your favorite??

Day 7 As A French Lady.
Well today even though it snowed I was determined when i met my friends to dress in my heels. Yes I nearly broke my skinny little neck with my first step out the door, from that though I went well and walked with poise.
I did my hair in a tight pony tail & wrapped black ribbon round the pony criss crossing it. I had seen something similier in a cat walk show. And i wore a nice black skirt...

Day 6.....And Its Still Snowing
Its late but I have to write todays events & thoughts, I do wonder though is this daily habit going to turn into a little obbesession. I suppose it can not be to bad as i’ve been really happy doing this and it’s filled me with a sense of inspiration.
Apart from landing on my rear bottom when misjudging when the pavement begins & ends because the snow is so deep, I remember my...

Today Was An Improvement To Say The Least....
Today I have a confession, its not a bad one. But after spending so much over the holidays on bedding & other bargains to be had in the sales. I had promised no more treats but after writing my last blog last night i succumbed to ordering 2 books online written about French women by one of my favorite authors. How was i to know she had more books ((Mireille Guiliano). As i write they are on...

Don't Yo Yo Diet. Eat Like The French Do..... →
Please don’t diet. I promise that if you read Mireille’s book your way of thinking about food will change forever. Do the healthy approch as the French do, enjoy your meals and take pleasure in the way you eat. I have tried it & I do not look at food the same way anymore.
Plus its helps when people say your glowing & looking healthy, which is so much better than just looking...

Where did it all began……………..
I was born 2 weeks late so my mother tells me. But had to go into the premature baby unit as my mother tells me i was tiny but perfect( all mothers are biased). Once i arrived into this big wide world a nurse asked my mother what my name was to be. My mother answered tiredly with the effects of hours of labour never mind the medications...
