5 Joie De Vivre {Simple Joys In Life}

Joie De Vivre. 
The simple joys in  life that I am thankful for.

{Rose drops imported from France. They taste like the smell of a dozen fragrant roses. So lovely -- an instant feminine pick-me-up}

{Last Thursday evening the clouds looked warm and cozy. They cast an amber glow all over town. It was a brilliant feeling -- best described as a cloud hug}

{It's almost lemon season.}

 {I bought a dozen red roses for the house. It's such a treat to have these on the table.}

Bon Epi French Macarons

We went to this awesome French Cafe the other night called Bon Epi. They had the most amazing macarons you could ever imagine {besides Laduree}. Taro, armoretti orange blossom, coconut, pistachio, chocolate hazelnut, vanilla bean, white chocolate passion fruit, earl grey tea, dark chocolate and sea salt caramel are just a few of their many flavors. I also heard that their Strawberry cream croissants are super yummy.

Pho Night

It was a cold night so we warmed up with some pho. Mmmmm.
 


My Current Obsession

Roasted coconut chips from Trader Joe's.
They have a wild texture and taste that blows my mind. 
 
TJ's describes them as:
Mature coconuts soaked in fresh young coconut milk,
roasted with a touch of salt and sugar.
Mmmm. So good.
