Bad Day Remedies

Who said "a bad day in Paris is better than a good day anywhere else”? After a bleak morning for reasons beyond the ever-gray sky, having half your lunch--an expensive butternut squash soup from the café across the street--spill in its entirety just five minutes before it had the chance to redeem your afternoon... still sucks. Feelings are only so affected by the places they're experienced in.
But, this isn’t meant to be a pity party. I recognize there are a few distinctly Parisian ways to add optimistic sparkle to each day.
Take the “Champagne Social”. Lisa organized the event to celebrate Cara’s first visit and the City of Lights itself. Habitat Parisien provided the gorgeous loft space. Lauren contributed her creative talent to the decoration. It was an evening of inspiring conversation, amazing home videos, and one incredible sing-along dance party. Oh, there was champagne, too. Obviously...

Remember: research has proven that the bubbles in Champagne really do go "straight to your head." Many thanks to Tricia for the photographic evidence of Daisy and I's tipsy fun in le gran bain. Talk about a good night. And for the record, I brought lunch today.
