GOOD PEOPLE # MAY!!!

 For those of you who are new around here, "les gens bien" is a column in which I tell you about my friends, my friends' loves, top people who are inspired, passionate, beautiful or funny or even both at the same time, they don't necessarily have a blog (but today they do!) but I really wanted to introduce them to you! Today it's Mai's turn from the blog superbytimaiI met her a few months ago, when she came across my blog and bim bam boum one thing led to another and she came to make a video at my place ( by here) and I have to admit that since then, Mai has been a matter of course for me, you know those rare and beautiful encounters that life has to offer, and for that encounter alone, I congratulate myself on having set up makemylemonade...in short, I leave you with Mai, a woman so beautiful, so loving, so maternal, so sweet, so funny that it leaves you speechless, or that it makes you want to say "let's meet up for tea again, when!We've got some great DIY projects coming up in the next few weeks! I can't wait to show you all! Without further ado: MAY!

Hi Mai, to find out more about you, can you tell us why your name is Mai (ahana, you weren't expecting that one?).

hahahah! my real name is Truc Mai. re-hahaha!

my parents are Vietnamese and went to a pagoda called Truc Lâm. Truc Lâm means bamboo forest. It's a boy's name, so when I was born, we kept Truc as the root of the siblings, so we're 4 bamboos (and Truc Lam later became my first brother's first name). And I, Truc Mai, am the flower... it's a flower that, according to legend, only grows every 100 years...

Truc is said "tchouk" in Vietnamese, but not in French... it was complicated for the teachers at the beginning of the year, so I suggested they call me mai. tada!

None. I have tons and I love it, but as long as my lips aren't chapped, I'm fine with it.
