Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that so many TV commercials seem to be about bloating, gas, and cramping? Perhaps, because April is Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) awareness month. A perfect time to remind you about a gut check. First of all, let’s look at the facts: IBS is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder of unknown […]
My obsession with Paris isn’t much of a secret. My fascination with the City of Light is endless. Today, I will continue that conversation with a new series on the blog called Bonjour, Paris. The first post explores one particular French woman with a certain je nai sai quo: Diana Vreeland.
