Life & Art of French Women

This is 5 reasons why I really need a diet:
1. My clothes don't fit anymore!: The real measurement is not the scale, but it is the clothes.
2. I don't move a lot: Getting fatter makes me don't want to move. And don't want to move makes me fat! It's a deadly cycle.
3. Too much is wasted: Not only money, but time too!
4. I'm going on a trip to the islands on May: I want to look fabulous. It's the beach! Hahahaha...
5. I only eat for the sake of eating: That's the worst cause! Food is pleasure. I should give more attention on what I eat.


To do that, I won't take on a ridiculous diet, but by simple changing my lifestyle. I read this beautiful book by Mireille Guiliano (Meer-ray Julie-ano). The book is called: French Women Don't Get Fat: The Secret of Eating for Pleasure. When I got the book, I thought it was just another diet book, but when I actually read it, it changes my perspective on life! The book is more about the life of French women. She recommends bread, Champagne, chocolate and romance as key ingredients to a balanced diet and lifestyle. The author is a French woman who studies in America. Because of that, she figured out about French women's art of living. It's that kind of art that I wish I could captured.

This is a little clip about Mireille Guiliano, the author.

there's something about french women

As a young woman, I have an interest in French women. I loved the glamour yet so simple style, it's kinda hard to describe. It's like they were born already having those quality of life without even trying too hard. The sexiness, confidence, glamourous, and above it all, it seems that they can enjoy life so much! I don't now where or when I got that image about french women, but I do remembered after watching Audrey Tautou's "Amelie", I started to fond the lifestyle of french women.
