Must Drink More Water....

Day 10, and I’m not keeping up with the amount of water I should be drinking daily. It does feel like a chore but it shouldn’t really, and its so annoying because I do see all the benefits I feel better & look better for it. But because it’s still snowing all I want is hot drinks..

Today has been a let down and I have only myself to blame, there is someone out there that really doesnt like me ( everyone isnt going to like everyone I understand that & that’s the way things are) but when I do see them ( we associate with the same groups) They are completely rude they completely ignore me. Please bare in mind I’m not expecting a massive conversation or curtseys when I walk past. But surely I don’t desearve them rolling there eyes when i say goodbye and say the same back like it’s the worlds biggest effort all at the same time.

My it made me so angry but I was angry because I allowed it to effect me. Now how do the French deal with these issues I am at a loss???

The worst is I ignored them today and was upset because that isn’t who I am so I felt false to myself.

Just a simple nod or smile would suffice, every human desires humanity and civility surely you readers agree?? or am I expecting something I shouldn’t. My intuition tells me though I do desearve a simple nod. And as long as I know that I think I should leave it there & leave them to be who they strive to be ??

It’s complicated as only this past 18mths I have been working on self worth & self esteem and it’s hard to get the balance as I never realized how I allowed to let people walk on me over & over and then blame myself. So when these things arise I get upset because I’m still learning.

I do apologize for ranting but somehow I feel a little better and I’m sure even French women feel that way sometimes as no ones life is perfect.

Meanwhile the positives for today is I’m still dressing French & loving it ( I’m sat here in slim jeans striped blue & white jumper with crisp white shirt underneath.) And I have a tall glass of water. I am going to have an early night & hopefully I may feel better tomorrow. Goodnight readers sleep well & I hope tomorrow brings you a smile..

Love FRENCHECLAIR xxxx

Does anyone else feel the same sometimes.??

Very Coco Mademoiselle.....

Every girls dream a Chanel
makeup table.....
The makeover at Chanel, I love the fact my friend had her black & white top on it looked so French very Coco..

An Evening At Chanel.....

I have been waiting to down load these photos for a while. But I have turned into a makeup snob. And it’s perfect to fit in with my new French lifestyle. But before I started to wear Chanel makeup ( only been wearing it for 2 months) I can say I have never looked back. Even the bottle of foundation in it’s self is a little touch of class on anyones dressing table.

I used ( shameful ) to buy what ever foundation was on offer at the time, so I had the caked look or orange look etc. Plus because I had been so ill I had bad skin and it was painful as my skin would outbreak in painful lumps, and bad acne.

I booked a Makeup evening at Harvey Nichols & I was resolved not to offer myself for any makeovers because I was ashamed of my skin. ( it was bad I’m not being a drama queen over a couple of pimples). But I wanted to buy a primer that models use.

Off we went me & my friend and welcomed with a champagne reception, and the store opened only through tickets only. We started to snoop around the YSL beauty & makeup counter and I had already eyed up my primer. Then we went to the Chanel counter and I became a fan, the sleekness and simple class as we touched the products. A make up artist asked if my friend would like a makeover & she jumped at the chance. I will load photos after todays journal. The Chanel makeup artist was amazing (8 yrs experience with Chanel) and my friend is naturally beautiful with lashes that go into the yr 2011 looked radiant after the makeover.

And for the first time I purchased Chanel and when they put it into the little chanel bag & when i wore the foundation everyone complimented my skin. The spots were still there but my skin looked glowing. Iv’e been to the doctors & I’m on tablets to clear it up & its working.

And since then I’ve never looked back my skin looks fresher more natural & not caked, I’m a Chanel makeup snob. Yes It costs alot more but you will gain a more fresher confident look. And to me thats worth the extra pennies wouldn’t you agree???
