Happy Christmas Eve to those who celebrate!
I hope you are having the most wonderful time with your family and friends.
Now, let’s talk about France (wink).
If you’ve been around a while, you know that French culture was the catalyst for so much of my transformation. In fact, I had a company called “French Kiss Life.” (iykyk)
I’ve had so many moments in France that shifted something deep within me, but there was one particular afternoon – sitting at a café in the South of France – that forever changed how I show up for my days.
What I learned wasn’t about perfection, or discipline, or doing more.
It was about three tiny, elegant secrets the French understand about living well.
Secrets that turn ordinary moments into something worth savoring.
And here’s the thing: you don’t need to be in Paris to live this way. You just need to know what they are.
Just recording this week’s podcast episode about these secrets made me want to book a flight back to the South of France.
But more than that, it reminded me why these simple shifts create such profound change.
Warmly,
Quality is an inside job.
Before I choose the better bag, the slower meal, the deeper conversation – I choose the better thought.
Because a life of quality begins with the questions I ask myself. Am I cultivating my own garden or getting lost in everyone else’s?
The French know: elegance is choosing what matters and letting go of what doesn’t.
CurrentBody Red Light Therapy Mask
I’ve tried every beauty gadget under the sun. Most end up in a drawer collecting dust. But my CurrentBody Red Light Therapy Mask? Different story. I actually use it. Like clockwork.
Ten minutes a day – that’s it. While I’m having my morning coffee or winding down at night. And my skin looks more alive and radiant.
Yes, it’s pricey. But so is a facial you’ll book once and forget. This is the gift that keeps giving to yourself, every single day. Consider it your little Christmas present that lasts all year long.
