Making choices that are meaningful to you is the essence of the French woman's secret.

French women eat and serve what's in season, for maximum flavor and value, and know availability does not equal quality.

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.

We women are so judged by the way we dress, and men are not. So style is part of developing your own brand.

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.

Intelligence, knowledge or experience are important and might get you a job, but strong communication skills are what will get you promoted.

I would advocate that chocolate be covered by health insurance, but that is admittedly a very French public policy perspective.
