One of the really tricky parts of the last couple of years has been navigating this new territory with places treating me differently because of stuff like social media and .in.my.pocket - how do I keep my recommendations transparent and honest while also enjoying some of the small spoils of success? I think being open about it is probably the key, and we'll figure out the rest as we go

My life has changed a lot, in a lot of ways, but one of those ways has been suddenly existing in Paris in a way I never did before. Ironically, I felt like I put way more into my daily vlogging and other YouTube videos than I ever did into IG or TT - but putting an honest effort into building .in.my.pocket on those platforms had very real effects on my daily life in the city ❤️

The baseline requirements to get started are set, there's a plan in place, now to see how I can get there (or maybe, better put with a little belief, how quickly I can do it). Let's. Go.

There's a big question that's loomed for the last decade, but which needs answering much more urgently this year. Part 2 dives deeper into that, but the Cooper Christmas vibes really take the cake here for a moment sorry 😅

Also! I just got a DM from Empreintes saying they have an in-store discount code for 15% off that you can use if you swing by before December 31st: JAY15

This post wasn't sponsored, they didn't pay me in anything more than orange juice, but I'm all about supporting local and this feels like a really fun fit for the holidays. Hope you enjoy visiting them!

In ranking every arrondissement of Paris, there are far too few people who know the glory of the 19e. If I got plopped down into Belleville I'd be thrilled - and able to make the most of the four arrondissements who touch corners at its base (the 10e, 11e, and 20e unite). While it still poses some issues for distance, it's a bit better, and has so much vibrancy and food and great parks and on and on. Love it. How about you? Where would you live in Paris?

Prepping to start up the old lifestyle in a new way - so happy to be doing it from such a different starting point than the first time around (or any other time to be honest)

If you're gonna get a granny baggie, where do you go? I had a backup plan but I figured I'd venture to Leroy Merlin for a discount... sigh

What the heck are all these granny baggies all over Paris? Are they worth dragging around? Do you have to be a granny to use one? How'd this get existential all of a sudden?

Among the reasons I'm nervous is the simple question of do we care to connect online like this anymore? The slew of slop and sensationalist everything makes it feel like maybe sharing regular life is a little 2015. What do you think?

I've been wanting to get back to this for a while, though if you want to know the details you might want to check out part 2. In the meantime, Made in France was a really nice experience =D

The video here kind of misses an important point (sorry) and that’s when picking paths in life: follow what interests you most. There are paths that make more sense. Become a doctor or an engineer. Or maybe a prompt engineer (yeah, don’t). Not a painter. Certainly not a writer.

But if no one pursues their interest in rescuing injured birds, or pursues their love of restoring old cars… no one will do it. If everyone was out to make money and did the most sensible thing we’d be stuck with an endless supply of finance bros and consultants. Wait…

I don’t know where the world is headed. I don’t have any advice for how to navigate the coming decade. But I do know that when something lights us up, it’s a sign that we’re on to something. Do whatever gives you energy, pursue what intrigues you and draws your obsession. Maybe you won’t get rich, but I bet you’ll have a lot more fun.
