Frugal dating in Paris…
Paris is one of the most expensive cities in Europe and the world. Every time I go back from cheaper countries, I gasp at the cost of everything.

Doing a little DIY around the house
Since I am back in Paris, I have been staying with my mother, who lives alone and is terrible at DIY. Her bathroom tap has been liking a little for ages, and she puts a small bowl to collect the dripping water, which she uses to water her plants. No big waste, just postponing things… Read more
