While at the
Palace of Versailles in France, I was reminded once again by our tour guide that
King Louis XIV of France - aka, the Sun King - was not only the longest reigning monarch in Europe (
72 years, 110 days), he also lived to be 76 years old and
rarely if ever took a bath, eeeeeeeeeeek. He must have stunk to high heaven and beyond. So much for opulent surroundings and great-looking clothes!
I doubt that King Louis could keep this short list. Funny that
the best brands -- be it the most expensive tube of toothpaste (Lebon) I have ever bought, or Chanel, or Hermes -- are from France.
Habits Worth Doing Daily:

Bath twice a day to be really clean,
once a day to be passably clean,
once a week to avoid being a public menace.
