Day 26: Make a To-Do List.

A co-worker of mine, who out of politeness reads my blog from time to time suggested a book that I should check out called 'A Single Girl's To-Do List' by British author Lindsey Kelk. There is an actual book about this?! I thought to myself. Excited, I immediately went to Anglo-Bookshop The Village Voice in Saint Germain-des-Prés after work to pick it up. I didn't need to read reviews or even the synopsis, I knew I'd like this book and bought it on a whim. My instincts never lie. I am devouring it. Its funny, honest and eerily relatable. Its as if Lindsey had been lurking in my apartment for research! Wait,was she?
I am enjoying this book so much, I shot Lindsey an email telling her so. To my delight, she promptly wrote back with sincere gratitude and was just the girl's girl as I imagined her to be. Can she live in Paris, please? In my orbit, there's a shortage of cool Anglophone chicks! 
Today's post is inspired by Lindsey and a congratulations on a book well-done. 

Here is my single girl to-do list:

• Body. Get insanely in shape with toned arms, lifted butt and sculpted abs. I will know this has been accomplished when I fit back into my high-waisted Marc Jacobs jeans.

• Skin. Get glowing skin. I'm talking teeny pores that reflect light like a summer sunset in Tahiti. This also includes a little color (everyone looks happier tan, right?) and getting rid of the zit that should be paying me rent that has been residing on my chin for what seems like forever.

• Work. Vigourously look for a new job that challenges and excites me. Tall order. 

• Write More. My true passion.

• Consumption: Drink more water. Drink less wine (Sad face). Eat 2 units of fruits/2 units veggies a day.

• Improve French - learn one vocab word or expression a day.

In a nutshell, get gorgeous and improve every aspect of my life. No pressure...
