March 14, 2018 By Deanna Piercy 15 Comments

Aging Gracefully

I recently ran into someone I had known years ago and didn’t recognize her. At all. She had had so much cosmetic surgery that she truly was unrecognizable…and not in a good way, I’m sorry to say. As I was driving home later I was thinking about the aging process and how we view it…

March 31, 2015 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

photo by Deanna Piercy Today is the 126th anniversary of the public opening of the Eiffel Tower. This iconic symbol of Paris wasn’t always beloved by the French, however. Read this: When did the Eiffel Tower open, and why was it ‘a truly tragic street lamp’? And did you know that the Eiffel Tower now…

Paris, je t’aime

November 5, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 4 Comments

Oh, Paris…how do I begin to share what a glorious time we had? I’ve dreamed of visiting Paris since I was a little girl and David made my dream come true last week. I knew I’d love it but I wasn’t sure about David. He was doing this for me and I knew he’d do…

August 22, 2014 By Deanna Piercy 2 Comments

Chapter Seven Confronting the Closet Conundrum If chapter length has anything to do with it, clothing ranks right up there with skin care in the list of what it takes to be as chic as a Frenchwoman. How exactly do those Frenchwomen manage to look put together, stylish and yet give the air that it…

French Friday ~ “Forever Chic” (Chapter 5)

June 13, 2014 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

French Friday ~ June 14, 2013

June 15, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

I think what appeals to me most about the stereotypical French woman is the way in which she lives life intentionally.
