I lived in the South of France for three years with my (former) husband. My daughter (now 15) was born there. Your book often made me chuckle, and reminded me of all the good things from that time. I have regained some wonderful old habits and feel sexier and healthier. Thank you

Hi Helena

Did not know you had a blog but now I am hooked lol! Love, love, love your book ‘Two Lipsticks’, I have read it heaps of times and I just wanted you to know what a difference it has made in my life.

I eat far better now, get regular manicures, wear matching underwear, have got rid of my tacky highlights for a natural chestnut hair colour and have stopped going to bed in an old t-shirt! I was in Paris recently and quite a few people came up to me and spoke to me in French – I was so pleased!!!

I live overseas these days and my partner here always says how stylish he thinks I am and I have a little smile to myself – my parka/trakkie bottom wearing and broken nail days are OVER!

Thanks so much I really love your work xoxo

Hi Helena
Picked up ‘Ciao Bella’ in one of our many charity shops. I really loved it and have now lent it to my daughter. I am at present reading ‘Two lipsticks .. and hope to read your other books. I enjoy looking at your blog on this website too.

Hello Laurie and thank you for your lovely comment. At the moment I am using Soap & Glory cleansing cloths and Dermalogica day cream. I also love Philosophy products but can’t get them here in the Middle East.
Take care and all best

Hello Helena,
I just read your book “What You Need to Know To Be Impossibly French” and I really enjoyed it. Your style of writing is so real, easy to read, and I love your Brit humor. I’m an American but my dad is from London, England and I still have relatives across the pond. So reading your book brought me back to my roots a little and seeing your language and your wit reminded me why I love having so much Brit in me. Thanks for that!

But now I’m on a quest for good skin care since I am like you and never used to wash my face properly (yes, poor dear). LOL! Your story on the French emphasis of cleansing your face hit home to me. I saw in your blog you menioned Clarins night cream. Can you tell me your day cream and your cleanser that you recommend as well?

Thanks Helena, and I am now a big fan. I’ll check into your blog and get some more books. I think the differences in culture are so facinating.
