As a Paris blogger, travel writer, watercolorist, and photographer, I share my latest escapades so you can walk around the city vicariously in my shoes. To experience even more of the Parisian life, sign up to receive my beautifully Illustrated monthly letters where I paint the Paris your dreams and mail them to you wherever you are. You can order these letters, along with my art prints, at my Etsy shop.

Describe what you love about France in 3 words. Can we make it 5 words? Eyes, ears, nose, tastebuds + brain. Paris stimulates all my senses constantly. I’m inspired all the time – endlessly surprised and amused. New York doesn’t do it for me anymore…

How do you look so good? Must be the jam in tthe yogurt which J always does..
ReplyDeleteMap looks great..
Many are designing masks..I need to make one w/ wire..we had watched the news the day they talked about the masks being offered as you said.
Love the pack of 2:)
Fine Art America..do you know it?
They use your art to make everything you say yes to I guess..
I follow a ceramist/artist Julie Whitmore and her things are offered there in a very nice way..
I could see your beautiful art there:)
I look temporarily good cos I washed my hair and the rest of me is covered up. i.e. mask, glasses, hair etc. 😄
DeletePS I LOVE Julies ceramics. She is winderful!
DeleteLove your grocery haul and the masks are a great idea. I keep washing my masks over and over and one day the more papery ones will fall apart. I like the thing around your nose--helps my glasses not get quite so fogged up!
ReplyDeleteAnd you look fabulous!
Yr right Jeanie. My glasses do not get so fogged over. Hooray!
DeleteIf you look at the French article they have a video on washing yr mask. It says 60 degrees heat in the washing machine (which I dont have...)
I have 2 face masks but haven't worn them yet as I still haven't left the house since March 12th. Love abricot jam - which is the best in your opinion? Love that map but it makes me hungry for Paris.
ReplyDeleteI am not yet ready to give an apricot jam verdict Suki.
DeleteI do know that cafe Deux Magot and Angelina have superb apricot jam.
I need to do a true comparitive taste test instead of gobbling up one at a time..
You look gorgeous!!! Love your long hair!!!
ReplyDeleteHahaha OMG I am never taking the mask off!
DeleteLOL :)
DeleteI have long been a fan of adding jam to my morning yogurt, but can never stop at only a teaspoon. A bit of espresso powder and cocoa powder is a good addition, too.
ReplyDeleteCocoa powder is hard to come by in Paris. Everyone is making chocolate cake!
DeleteI add fresh berries, pineapple or mango to my yogurt and a little stevia and a tablespoon of hemp. Sometimes cinnamon or vanilla. You can get creative with walnuts and granola too. Can't find masks for sale anywhere around here, I made some for hubby and myself.
ReplyDeleteAll sounds super healthy
DeleteWhat is hemp good for?
You can NEVER have too much apricot jam...this bonne maman intense is new to me...thought I’d try it...like your apricot/passion fruit...something new.
ReplyDeleteLove Frog’s to-do list,
ReplyDeleteit is very similar to mine.
You look terrific, Carol. I wish we could get masks of that quality that easily here in the San Francisco Bay Area.
ReplyDeleteIt does seem like an ingenious plan to stock supermarkets with millions of masks. Ppl can solve some problems if they put their minds to it.
DeleteI have never replied before but I love your posts. You really help me feel sane—especially as we are all taking life one day at a time. A morning spent in Paris with you is so refreshing, and grounding!
ReplyDeleteApricot jam may be MY cure. Forgot about it! Not wandering/musing in a grocery has a downside.
ReplyDeleteLife can be complicated. Get the jam you want even if you make a deal to wait until you finish something else first. Plain yogurt doesn't have sugar so jam makes it better.
