Week 10 Year 2024
This week flew by! It felt like Thursday approached with lightning speed. A lot is going on with work and planning a few trips later this month. Travel picks up again next weekend. I had my first eye exam in a few years and got a prescription for readers. (it happens at age 40…) It is just a tiny prescription now, and I don’t need them, but the doctor says one day I will wake up and want them. I must check out Warby Parker since I am only a .5 and limited on options. Right now, I ordered these, which should be here soon. (please don’t comment with horror stories; I have heard enough!)

I worked on my next Paris itinerary. Next week, the 3-day spring itinerary will be for sale in The Print Shop. It is a breakdown of a weekend in Paris to experience Paris during the spring and enjoy the blossom season to the fullest. I am also including a rainy-day itinerary day as a bonus.

At Pilates this week, I overheard a conversation saying Miley Cyrus was big into Pilates. I had to look it up for myself. In case you are curious about her workout routine. It isn’t just all Pilates.

I ran into my neighbor Monday night, and she asked for dinner inspiration. We both made this noodle dish with these dumplings. So good and very flavorful.
I finally decided on this black dress! You can see how I styled it here. I am lucky Yulia grabbed these photos of me at home the week before our event.

Spanx sent me a few items to try, and I am obsessed with these pants. I immediately put them on and didn’t want to take them off. Dare I say they are cute and comfortable enough to fly in and arrive looking good when you land? I will report back 😉 I wear a small, 5’6” in height, for reference. They gave me a code for 10% off using EDPXSPANX at checkout.

I recently introduced my sister to Sézane; she now sends me items she loves on the regular. I bought her this dress, which would look so cute on her as a birthday gift. The package arrived, and now she is begging for the perfume. If you have ever received a box from Sézane, you know the packaging is next-level good.
