My appointment at the French gynecologist
Last week, I had my first appointment with a gynecologist in France. It's recommended to have a Pap smear every three years and I was at the 3.5-year mark, so I sucked it up, made my appointment a couple of months ago and was half-anxious/half-ready to get this over with last Tuesday morning. Why ... Read More about My appointment at the French gynecologist
Crepes & some spring blooms
Kicking off the weekend with a stomach bug/food poisoning is never a fun time and unfortunately, friends, that's my life right now. I managed to get in and out of the dentist yesterday before I started feeling really bad but last night was not fun. I really have no clue if it's a stomach bug or food ...

Spotlight on healthy brands in France: Amy’s Kitchen
I love it when brands I know from home set up shop across the Atlantic. Many brands I'd buy all the time back in the U.S. don't exist in France and aside from importing them myself or hoping My American Market has them, there's not really much you can do except try to find an equivalent. Recently I ... Read More about Spotlight on healthy brands in France: Amy’s Kitchen
How to watch TV shows and movies online when you live abroad
If you're like me, you have a handful of shows you watch religiously. Right now I'm loving The Americans, Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, The Voice and more. If you're not home when your shows air, DVR is your best friend. Or maybe you're more of a Netflix buff. But when you move outside the US, popular ...

The joys of applying for your 10-year residence card in France
If you didn't pick up on the sarcasm in the title, it probably means you haven't had the pleasure of applying for your carte de séjour (residency card). Or you live in a magical place where things run smoothly. The process is simple in theory: You make an appointment, you submit your papers, you ...
