I Miss U all my Blog

Dear PB readers, a huge THANK YOU

You deserve a presie!
So here's today's scoop.
A big part of any French Girl's beauty lurks within. Traitement is the name of the game. How come many of these French beauty treatments are in bleu packages!
True the French adore bleu...but have you noticed that French beauty stuff looks an awful lot like medicine?
The packaging is serious. No butterlies. No flowers. Like French Girl's shampoo here. It's a lovely shampoo. In fact FG bought it in NYC, but I assumed it must be French - blue bottle with serious, almost frightening packaging etc.
The point is, while we desperately try to copy French girls, making copious lists of what to wear, hairstyles, lipstick or no lipstick, which perfume, which shoes?
The French Girl is calmly having a beauty treatment and a giggle on us.
Even though you may be in Paris wolfing down as many macarons in as little time as possible...
And stuffing yourself like a bear at it's last supper...
While racing to beat the clock to do everything on your list...
You too can find serenity now!
After showering yourself with French chocolates...
Do as the French Girl does and go to a spa!
When I saw Pampered In Paris newly listed I requested a copy svp. With all my mad tearing around I usually come home and collapse in a heap. Why not collapse on a massage table IN Paris and start the recovery there?
I contacted author Kim Levesque for suggestions.
"You have to go to Wassana--even if you don't have time. Not for the facility--for the massage--Traditional Thai massage--amazing!" The picture above is from Les Bains Montorgueil in the book - heavenly non?
Doesn't this make complete and total sense PBers?
Just looking at the book is terribly restful and calm inducing...

I grabbed this shot while visiting Guerlain - their spa appointment desk. Wouldn't it be heaven on earth to be in this French girl's ballerinas or boots or whatever?

Naturally after you're all spa-d out you'll want a calm cuppa tea. Most spas offer refreshments, even meals. So isn't this a must-do in Paris?

Now for the presie...

A BOOK GIVE-AWAY today (the book is a tad marked up malheureusement) chosen randomly to a commentor. And you must live in the USA.

BONJOUR PARIS SPAS!

This year I will get to the pool 4 times a week (OK at least 3 times). And I will not sit around in my bathing suit all day procrastinating!!!

This year I will finally read This Year I Will...sitting up on the shelf, to make sure I do all the things listed here...ahem
