While dogs aren't human, they do know a whole lot about life. Maybe at first glance their wagging tail, ... Read More about 6 Life lessons I learned from my dog Dagny
French gym culture and an aversion to mirrors
French gym culture can teach you loads about the French. While my gym in town isn't a hip or happening place, it's still a gym and I enjoy people watching as much as the next gal.
