This week my sweet other half gave me a book he quickly leaved through in a bookstore, before firmly deciding that it represented most of my feminine beliefs and habits.
A guide filled with french wisdom and humour on how to be a strong woman, without ever losing your femininity (or your snobbism, for that matter), including advice such as How to Make Him Think You Have a Lover and How to Own Your Bad Habits.
A few of the golden advice:
¬ Don’t be afraid of aging.
¬ Wear a black bra under your white blouse, like two notes on a sheet of music.
¬ One must live with the opposite sex, not against them. Except when making love.
¬ Go to the theatre, to museums, and to concerts as often as possible: it gives you a healthy glow.
¬ Be aware of your qualities and your faults. Cultivate them in private but don’t obsess.
¬ Take a deep breath, and keep it simple.
¬ Never give too much away. When it comes to revealing herself, she follow’s one golden rule: less is definitely more.
¬ Leave a party when it’s in full swing. (Even your own)
¬ Solitude can be a luxury.
¬ Don’t follow trends.
¬ Be friends with people of different generations. (Both young and old, but especially the old.)
¬ Embrace your inner snob!
I'm reading this book as well, it's marvelous.
