A cartoline said that “One positive thought in the morning can change your whole day”

What do you think?

Do we agree with it or do we label it as the new age thinking trend and just keep our grumpy face?

Here’s how it works with me:

I love my grumpy face! It makes the people around me laugh and I love happy people! Deep down I am not a grumpy person at all and that is because I somehow believe what the viral cartoline says. I believe that thinking happy thoughts helps our mood but I also know myself pretty well and I know that I also need a concrete and touchable stimulator.

For example, yes, I wake up, yes I think  a positive thought (like how Serban looks like when he wakes up in the morning) but I also need that non Matrix little helper, like a beautiful breakfast, or some pastry, a fresh orange juice or a nice and cosy place. Something that will light up my morning (hate, hate, hate mornings!)

Luckily for me, I live near a PAUL Boulangerie. I, and I am positively sure that everybody else also does, love Paul because of its perfect French vibe. It has a seductive atmosphere, has tons of yummy stuff – Escargots Raisine is my favorite at the moment –a more than nice staff and those macarons that ruin my diet every time because of their perfect taste.

I was invited to visit and have breakfast at the new PAUL Boulangerie from Piata Romana. Have you seen it yet?

I think it’s placed perfectly because it’s in my way every morning, so if you pass by we might see each other.

And besides the perfect placing and stuff, Paul decided to become more awesome than it already is and in the next period, on it’s Facebook page you’ll find contests made especially for you to celebrate the opening of Paul from Piata Romana and PAUL Boulangerie from Promenada Shopping Mall. Yes, you can find PAUL there also! Cool, right? I mean, the more the merrier, isn’t it? I secretly hope for a PAUL to open right across the street from my apartment! Now, that would be heaven. Like Richie Rich had his own pastry shop in his mansion, remember?

As the new PAUL ambassador, here’s MY SUPER SURPRISE for you guys! Well, not actually mine, because PAUL thought of it!

At PAUL Romana you’ll find an Eiffel Tower – you’ll see it outside or inside – Cool Parisian touch, no?

All you have to do is:

 .

• take a picture of yourself standing next to it. You can make funny faces, shout, scream, smile, act funny – like this midget in the white dress 

• email me your photo until the 11th of November

You can WIN some awesome stuff that I assure you will brighten your day (positive thinking works better combined with a material yummy-ness remember?) like:

·         1st  Prize–a 450 lei voucher which you can use to shop anything you like from Baneasa Shopping City – tadaaaaa. Maybe you’ll find a french inspired item, no?

·         2nd Prize – here we have 2 prizes – You girls can both win a Hooked bracelet by Monica Barladeanu & Maria Desmirean*

 .

 .

I will pick the three funniest or coolest pictures so amaze me!!! No, nope, I’m kidding, don’t stress yourself, I’m easy to please. Just be YOU!

Now, if you are running wild through the city and don’t have time to feel the Parisian vibe from PAUL Romana, just log in to the mobile application – named creatively Cherchez le Franc, with which you can collect some virtual francs from the application map and use them to buy real goodies from PAUL. Pretty awesome idea, no? You can download it both for Android and for IOS – just search for “paul cherchez le franc” in the app store and start collecting francs. You’ll get discounts at Paul if you show the francs you collected in the app.

You must agree with me that PAUL was cool before but now, with this campaign and all these gifts for you, it just became our number 1 love, right?
