First Snowfall

Last weekend, while all the others went on a day trip to Lourdes, I stayed behind with JZ (my best friend here) and we enjoyed the first snow fall together!  After a nice, long walk -- it was really pretty magical on the mount -- we decided to build a little snowman together.  JZ constructed the body while I finished the head.  Here is what we created together:

 



Thanksgiving in France

We are all so far away from home ~ missing our family and friends ~ me included!  I am the lone Canadian, you see. That brings a special kind of isolation.  My family is so very far away.  God, I miss Canada!  God, I miss my family!  How many times have I played 'Hymns of the 49th Parallel'?  ...But on one special night here in Ambialet, when we all ~ Americans, French, and myself, the lone Canuck ~ came together to share and celebrate a Thanksgiving feast, I was able to put aside, at least temporarily, this deep longing in my heart to see my loved ones.  I'll share with you some of the photos I took of our very special Thanksgiving celebration held at Le Prieuré.  Not pictured here is Tim Perkins ~ our first toast went to him.

It seems fitting to include one famous 'Hymn of the 49th Parallel' here... Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", sung by the incredible k.d. lang. I think of my parents whenever I listen to it, because my mother loves Cohen, while my father loves the 'big-boned gal from southern Alberta.'  ;-)

Korres-Kings & Queens: Nefertiti

Geia sas se olous!
Γεια σας σε όλους!
(Hello everyone!)
Its been a while since i've had a chance to post since school & work have consumed my life but i wanted to do a quick review on the Korres Kings & Queens: Nefertiti body milk & shower gel.

Kings & Queens' Nefertiti is honey & made with natural products including of course real honey, which you can smell.
pro's:
smell-sweet honey
consistency-rich & smooth
gel is very luxurious
nice moisture that seems to last

con's:
the price is a little high for me $9 & $11-(i bought these off ebay)
i can't put this on before bed; i can smell it all night-too much for bed

I would repurchase the gel but probably not the lotion because i rarely use it.

Here is what Korres says about Kings & Queens:
Get ready like a royal, start the day like a sovereign, make like a monarch. Kings & Queens is a royal new body care range developed around the herbs and spices favored by the aristocracy of a bygone age.
Kings & Queens introduces Body Milks, Showergels, Body Butters, and Shimmering Body Milks, each with a story to tell. From Nefertiti Honey, inspired by the Egyptian Queen who used the Nectar as an indulgent beauty treatment, to Cinnamon, the spice beloved by Queen Isabella of Spain that prompted Columbus’s trip to discover the new world, the creators of Kings & Queens took inspiration from the preferred ingredients of yesteryear.
The line reflects the true decadence of royals past with an imaginative, modern twist. This fun, irreverent range of beauty products is for fashion, style and design conscious urbanites who are always on the lookout for an affordable statement choice.

Kings & Queens products are mineral oil-and paraben-free and enriched with “The Royal Mix,” a blend of Pomegranate, Blue Egyptian Lotus and Malachite extracts containing Hazelnut, Grape, Sunflower and Avocado Oils.
-Made in Greece
*For more info on the Blue Egyptian Lotus HERE is my post on it.
What Korres says about Nefertiti:
Nefertiti,
royal wife of an Egyptian Pharaoh, was depicted as an icon of beauty in her famous statue. She regularly used honey as a beauty treatment in order to live up to her name, which means
 "the beautiful woman has arrived".


This post goes nicely with my up-coming post about my ancestry that i recently found out; it will take me a bit more time to write it so i will tell you all about as soon as i can! (plus i am still discovering)

Kalo Savvatokyriako!
Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο!
Have a nice weekend!

History in Ambialet

For their year-end project, students have decided to a do a cultural history study, focusing on the traditions, cuisine, and local history of Ambialet.  Some of them (Becca, Melanie, Kerstin & Ed) chose to conduct interviews; they prepared several questions in French ahead of time. The others (Lauren, Shane & Gabe) decided to gather information on the history of Ambialet using written texts (see below).  We are so thankful to Mamie and Christiane, who generously shared their extensive knowledge of Ambialet with us, with great patience and good humour, and also to our wonderful hosts and translators, Margaret and Peter, who arranged more than one of these meetings for us!
