Joys of travelling by french bus...

Awww.... Despite my Hussain Bolt sprint... I missed the 08:44 bus by 1.75 seconds!!! I will be late for today... Yeah...french buses are known to stick to their schedule and also for not stopping anywhere else than on the bus stop... Their punctuality is definitely due to that terrific bus lane which helps in gaining time in heavy traffic hours ...Which brings me to think that this is so unlike in Mauritius( you Mauritians out there definitely know what i am talking about dont you??!!) Mauritian buses on the exact contrary are known to ... Never be on time, more exactly always late.... Stopping 10mts before or after the actual bus stop, on the round about,....bref anywhere! Imagine the fun when you are stuck driving behind one...
Ah my french bus has arrived... In time...As expected. Goodbye for now

Sun-Day...

It has been a beautiful sunny end of summer sunday in Bordeaux today... yes indeed we are approaching autumn days and sunny warm days are becoming quite ...rare... But the true Mauritian that i am, didnt value this wonderful weather for a dime- common people! we have bright warm summer days even in full blown winter in Mauritius...
All this to say that i didnt go out, spent the day working on my thesis, cleaning, laundry ( inconveniences of living on your own!!!) and above all shopping online( my fav stuff to do these days- you get to stay in pajamas, sip your coffee and pick and choose!!!...and of course you never really SEE the money going!!)

Some of my buys...
1. Tend skin solution

This thing is just amazing! if you have painful ingrown hair you  need to know about this product- soothes even the most inflammed bump anywhere on the body...even on guys! in fact i bought for the first for my BF who had ingrown hair on his face after shaving...then i once used it on my leg- now i am addicted... with coming cold winter days...constant wear of pants and jeans...ingrown hair are bound to show up.... so i am stocking on that !
More so...this stuff is not available in Mauritius... and shipping cost a fortune if you need one

2. Black Beret
these are so versatile and staple item in a girl's wardrobe for winter. They can be worn for casual looks as well as for a chic elegant finish to party wear- guess mine will be of use in Mauritius too cause we are having quite cold winters over there lately.

I got the black one to match my black boot...these are going to be wonderful for my coming up Paris trip... the are so...FRANCAIS!!
Ebay- $4

Nice way to wear a Beret for a casual look

So elegant !

3. Brown leather shoes at only 14 Euros!



I believe those would be perfect for work with pencil skirt or classic flare trousers. Also wedges are so comfy when you got long hours standing!

Afternoon Jog...


Absolute must to stay healthy and keep pace with the demanding life of a doctor... an afternoon jog! Not only does my afternoon jog give me time to reflect over my day at work but also to enjoy the magnificent scenery and climate in the kingdom of viticulture and viniculture- Bordeaux- the place i am currently living in.

All those planning to visit Bordeaux ... dont forget to pack your running/walking( if  you are less of a jogging person!)  shoes and pair of sweat pants to enjoy a nice stroll /jog...you wont be disappointed!
