Introduction	A bon vivant is a person who lives well and enjoys the finer things in life. Food, wine, fashion, art, literature, travel, gardening, and architecture are a sample of what makes our lives interesting. Growing up with a French grandmother and an Italian grandfather, I've learned by example to accumulate experiences, pursue passions, and devote time to one's self. Through this blog, I hope to both entertain you with my stories and inspire you to live each day as an everyday bon vivant.
