<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>I recently ran across a piece written by Rebecca Plantier from <span style="color: #45818e;"><span style="color: #45818e;"><a href="http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-12754/13-ways-french-women-treat-themselves-right.html"><span style="color: #45818e;">MindBodyGreen</span></a>.</span> </span>I just loved</i><br />
<i>what she said about french women. Five months ago I went to Paris and everything Rebecca </i><br />
<i>states about how french women possess that certain "je ne sais quoi" is </i><br />
<i>so true!!</i><br />
<i>I would sit at the little cafes with their charming outdoor table and chairs where it is oh so</i><br />
<i>chic to sit facing outwards towards the street, to watch all the parisians pacing by. </i><br />
<i>The women of Paris are SO put together, SO at ease in their fashion choices of the day, </i><br />
<i>SO confident and they make it all look so effortless. Parisian watching in Paris</i><br />
<i>was one of my favorite things to do with my husband, at the end of the day,</i><br />
<i>sipping amazing french wine, knowing we had no where else we had to be,</i><br />
<i>except right there.</i></div>
