Frenchie Friday - Aug 16, 2024

Bonjour tout le monde ! I hope everyone is doing well and did fall to Earth too briskly after the last two weeks of Olympic excitement! I tried to watch the closing ceremony on Sunday, but after an hour I was over it. As my French hubbie proclaimed, "do we need an instruction manual to understand this???"

Emily in Paris is back! I watched the 5 episodes last night and was disappointed. What I loved about the first 3 seasons is the interplay of Emily with Paris - learning about French culture and language, watching all the faux pas she experienced, that was a big part of why I liked the show and I feel it is missing in Season 4. But I do love the Audrey Hebpurn looks she sports! Beautiful!

I also get a huge smile when I see Brad Pitt and George Clooney in marinière shirts!

Guess what? I PASSED my French test for B1 certification! I am on my way to finally get my French citizenship - just a few thousands of pieces of paper to gather and submit, but it's happening!

Pour Le Weekend...

Yard work, housecleaning, some reading and probably watching the last season of Seal Team - season 7!

If you are a fan of iT Cosmetics, there are several products that are BOGO until Sunday. I use the Bye Bye Pores Pressed Setting Powder and bought 8, it's such a good sale!

How about you?

Bon Weekend!

Frenchie Friday - Sept 20, 2024 Bonjour from Phoenix! No email last Friday as I was in the middle of my 4-day journey from Raleigh to Phoenix - basically I-40 for 2000 miles. It is hot, hot, hot and I want autumn, s'il vous plaît ! While Mr. Misadventures headed off to Alaska to spend time with the grizzlies, I am hopping on a plane with my Mom for a quick weekend in Seattle and a reprieve from the heat. Heard back from Damien, the extraordinary Normandy tour guide that reader, Sandra, had an...

Frenchie Friday - Aug 30, 2024 After a 2 week break, the ParaOlympics have started in Paris so we all get to enjoy more scenes, articles, and news from Paris!

Are you influenced by Instagram? I totally am! This week I bought 2 of these beautiful Doppia Accent Rechargeable Table Lamps for outdoor dining because they looked...
