I am a believer in change peu a` peu (little by little) since drastic changes, including lots of changes made all at once, are often the sort of modifications that don't stick.

In #‎ France we have a saying, 'Joie de Vivre,' which actually doesn't exist in the English language. It means looking at your life as something that is to be taken with great pleasure and enjoy it.

Nothing but beauty and douceur

My friends say everything I touch turns to gold. I'll say, 'I've been very lucky.

When I grew up in France, I was a normal size. And then I came to the United States and I gained 20 pounds.

French women don't have too many clothes - a few good pieces that last for a while and are classic and timeless.

If you believe you can shed pounds quickly by force of will and deprivation, you will in all likelihood not only regain the ones you lost, but add a few more besides.
