Why L. A. Pourquoi Paris Favorite Lines

What’s up readers? It’s the 23rd day of Blogtober! If you don’t know what Blogtober is, it is a series I am conducting that starts from the first of October wherein I post on my blog everyday until Halloween. 🎃📚🍁📖🍂🍃❤

In this blogpost, I’m going to share my favorite lines from the book, “Why LA Poirquoi Paris?” I did a book review of this book so if you’re interested, you can check it out here and without further ado, let’s jump right into my favorite lines.

“Lining both banks of the Seine, the open-air Bouquinistes stalls, which sell second-hand books, rare magazines, postcards, and old advertising posters, are a definitive Parisian experience. The name comes from bouquiner, which means to read constantly (with pleasure).”


“The styles in Paris can be described as excentrique, romantique, classique, sporty, sophistiqué, arty, and sexy.”


“The focus is on the quality of life—people work to live, rather than live to work (as in LA), and material signs of success are looked down upon.”


“Angelenos have a passionate interest in food —it’s no coincidence that the term “ foodie” has gained great popularity here. LA cuisine is fresh, seasonal, inventive, and caters to the health-conscious.”


“Los Angeles is a playground for world-class chefs to show off to an influential and appreciative audience.”


“Los Angeles overflows with eating and drinking pleasures, from the gourmet to the casual. The LA food culture just keeps innovating. The culinary mashups make it one of the most exciting cities in the world for food.”


“Paris is not generally a producer— it is where products from all over the world converge. It is here that the respective qualities of every type of food are most appreciated, and put to the best use, to satisfy Parisians’ sensuality.”


“Restaurants are like theaters; they have their stage and their backstage.”

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do But You Could Have Done Better Book Review 

Find Your Awesome by Judy Clement Wall Book Review

What’s up readers? It’s the 20th day of Blogtober! If you don’t know what Blogtober is, it is a series I am conducting that starts from the first of October wherein I post on my blog everyday until Halloween.🎃📚📖🍁🍃🍂😄

Today’s post is another Book Review from an eARC I received from the author and publisher of Find Your Awesome via NetGalley. I hope you enjoy it and have a nice day! 😄❤

Description


In a perfect world, maybe you wouldn’t need a 30-day challenge to find and fall in love with your most playful, imaginative, and colorful self, but we don’t live in a perfect world. We live in a fast-paced, high-octane society where feeling lost in the jostling crowd is the norm and finding our own significance is oftentimes the biggest challenge of all. 

Fearless love champion Judy Clement Wall will guide you through this challenge–to fill your well for 30 days and tap into the miracle that is you! When you learn to love and value yourself, your relationships with everyone else will change, because the person that you bring to the world will be the fullest, truest, best-loved version of yourself.

Using a stimulating mix of coloring, creative prompts, and other daily activities, master writer, artist and doodler Judy Clement Wall will help you uncover the undeniable awesomeness that is you.



My Thoughts on Find Your Awesome:

I like how it’s a challenge but in a fun way. I also like how there are activities where you draw stuff and color them which are so cute!

I like the idea of designing a book cover for my life story because according to the author, my life story is the one I’m writing every single day, from scratch, armed with nothing but my wits and big curious heart. She tells you to “Own it. Love it fiercely. And don’t let anyone else try to write it for you. Oftentimes, we let others dictate our lives without realizing it.” 

Doing this activity made me realize and itconstantly reminds me that I am the boss of my life and the author of my own life. 

It is a 30-day challenge and it won’t take much of your time in a day. All you need to do is carve out a few minutes each day to fully engage with yourself; reflect, and unwind.
