Links I Love Week 43
It was a big adjustment coming home. Not just for sleep and jet lag, but catching up on so much while I was gone. Paris had me glowing and on cloud 9 for two straight weeks and it is always a struggle to return to reality. I call it the Paris Hangover. The best way to recover is to book another trip…
Grab your coffee and croissants and join me for this week’s links I love. ❤️

It’s the Caudalie Friends and Family Sale. I stocked up in Paris where the prices are better.
