Mood: spiritual, educational

Meet @Lazuliway, Kim Partouche, the Tarot queen of Paris. Kim walks us through the basics of Tarot, her journey into spirituality, and how she uses this tool as a way to help you (and all of us) channel our own spiritual energy to make sense of different circumstances. 

This beginner tarot guide will teach you some tarot reading basics, and go over some specific tarot card meanings (like the Death card, the Tower, and the Devil — we're going to demystify these!). We look at major arcana vs minor arcana, different spreads, and Kim's personal approach to these cards.

To book an intuitive tarot reading with Kim, go to her booking page, or visit her Instagram and TikTok.

Mood: Foreigners in Paris, expat POV, culture, fun

We hear a lot about Emily in Paris (and all the “real life” versions of her)... but what about a guy moving to Paris… and maybe not an American for once??

Today we have Kiwi immigrant in France, Blair Shepherd from Tauranga, New Zealand — Chad in Paris, if you will.

He’s talking about his experience moving across three continents in a single year, integrating into French culture, his take on Parisians and the French language, working in the legal field in the EU, and making friends as an expat. 

PLUS: a round of perfume smash or pass at the end!! Dominique asks (forces) Blair to rate some of her top perfumes.

See more and follow along on Blair’s personal instagram and photography account.

WELCOME BACK CUTIES. We’re out of hibernation and back into the glinting, glorious springtime… which means we’re back to more episodes!

Today we’ve got Quincy & Justine from Pardon Our French. On the heels of Dominique’s interview on their show (Apple | Spotify), these beauties have joined our circus to tell tale of their lives in France — culture shocks, grand balls at Versailles, dating (the horrors, the triumphs), furnished apartments, and more.
