Pampered in Paris

Dear PB readers, a huge THANK YOU for all your lovely London suggestionsWord-of-mouth rules when researching where to go & where not to go. 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 butterflies 🦋 No flowers 🌸
Like French Girl's shampoo. It's a lovely shampoo. In fact FrG bought it in NYC. I assumed it must be French. Blue bottle with serious, medical style packaging etc.
The point is, while we try to copy Fr girls, making lists of what to wear, hairstyles, lipstick or no lipstick, which perfume, which shoes?
The French Girl is having a beauty treatment and a giggle 🤭 on us.
Even though you’re in Paris wolfing down as many macarons as quickly 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 like French Girl does & 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.Doesn't this make complete and total sense PBers? Just looking at the book is restful and calming.
I took this shot while visiting Guerlain - their spa appointment desk. Wouldn't it be heavento be in this French girl's boots?
Ater 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...
