Yesterday I ran to get stamps

 
Yesterday I ran to get stamps for your PARIS LETTER 💌

Japanese Cheesecake at Takumi.
And as usual, wandered around a bit,
Exploring through Galeries Lafayette 
And Galeries Lafayette Maison. Are blackberries/Mûre IN?
 Picard just got them and I’m loving them for breakfast instead of boring old blueberries 🫐 
I know they’re rich in anthocyanines.
Anyone else addicted to HEALTHY IMMUNE DOC? She tells you twice a week on youtube what to eat and what not to eat to live forever and uses a lot of unpronounceable scientific words that make you feel very smart 🧠 
The Doc would not approve of this find 👎
Nor this. I resisted both 
And got this 🙀 an old favorite, Chausson aux pommes 🍎 Everyone knows Apples are loaded with glutathione. The Doc eats 1 - 3 apples a day she says…
Across the street PRINTEMPS department store is celebrating 🥳 160 ans in business!
Their windows were not thrilling…
In my opinion. 
But I LOVED their Morris Column ,
With vintage 
Printemps posters
Wrapped around it. I wish Printemps had more vintage things instore but maybe with Parisians already en vacance they didn’t bother 🤷🏻‍♀️ 
After the stamp store I looked in Illy Café - such beautiful big cups!
At least
An addiction to cups is sugar-free 🙏 The Doc would approve 👍
No swimming 🏊 in the Seine today. Too much rain ☔️

      They used to be .98 centimes when I started.
      Now International costs 1,97€ a piece.

    I love that Doc. Stumbled on her on YouTube. Lived in Paris as a kid. I know it's totally different now, but I miss it.

      The Doc is addictive…until she isn’t. She throws around so many big words.

      Paris is highly missable ❤️
      Lots has changed even since I moved here. But some things remain the same ❤️

    I started following her today. I also follow Dr. Greger, nutritionist at nutritionfacts.org. He follows eye opening health research studies.

      They both helped me go vegetarian.
      Dr. Greger is wild!

      No they are divine individual cheesecakes from Takumi at Pyramides.
      I always buy their 3-pack of matcha madeleines.
