A few favourites for Friday

A flower I picked yesterday, when it was raining, love how the raindrops stayed on the petals.
This is my favourite hand cream, from L'Occitane the shea butter is exceptionally concentrated and an ideal beauty balm for dry or damaged hands.
French Women don't get fat ~ by Mireille Guiliano
I enjoyed reading this book and if you are looking for a new book to read, you may want to check this one out.
Stylish, convincing, wise, funny the ultimate non-diet book, which could change the way you think and live.

French Women don't get fat, but they do eat bread and pastry and drink wine.
In her delightful tale, Mireille Guiliano unlocks the simple secrets of this "French paradox", how to enjoy food and stay slim and healthy. Hers is a charming, sensible and powerfully life-affirming view of health and eating for our times.
When I am ironing I love to use this Lavender linen water, in the steam iron.
I actually enjoy doing the ironing, in the evening while watching TV.

I think there are about three left, so someone must have liked them.
