Elodie Gossuin’s Dance of Domesticity: When Weekend Means Chores!
Ah, the weekend! That sweet two-day oasis in the desert of workweek drudgery. You can almost hear the collective sigh of relief as Friday rolls in, right? But then—wait for it—it’s usually followed by an avalanche of household chaos! Enter our heroine, Elodie Gossuin, former Miss France and current spirit guide of domestic responsibilities. This past Thursday, she posted a video that’s racked up over 6,000 likes faster than the speed at which my laundry piles up!
Our dear Elodie, in a rather stunning twist, opted for a flip-flop-and-swimsuit ensemble (because why not channel your inner beach babe while contemplating the equivalent of a domestic marathon?). Set to the infectious tune of Le Jerk by Thierry Hazard, she dances her way into the weekend, and with it, the inevitable chores that come knocking at the door.
When Chores Become a Mental Load
As she elegantly sways in her somewhat disposable attire—because who needs to invest in actual swimwear during an existential crisis over domestic duties?—she quips, “When I think that tomorrow is finally the weekend.” Isn’t that just the optimistic kick in the rear we all need? But wait; hold on a second. In her accompanying text, she captures the reality many of us know all too well: “I’m going to catch up on my work from the week, tidy up the house, do the laundry that has accumulated, help with the children’s homework… when is the vacation again?”
Oh dear, Elodie! That’s a classic case of “weekend blues.” Have you ever noticed how weekends seem to revolve around a to-do list larger than the Great Wall of China? Forget about the joy of relaxation; instead, we’re met with the sobering realities of family life. The mental load—the invisible weight of planning, organizing, and managing household tasks—has us all spinning like a headless chicken trying to find the nearest couch. I mean, who amongst us isn’t singing a sad tune about getting a break from the break?
Her cheeky use of the hashtag “#EvenNotShame” plays into the spirit of humor we all need when faced with the daunting task of adulting. Yes, Elodie! Let’s throw shame to the wind and dance those chores away… or at least laugh about them while we do. A girl’s got to unwind, right?
Chillin’ at the Spa in Paris
But wait, there’s a twist in the plot! Filming this masterpiece at Bains du Marais, you might think she’s pampering herself right before diving into the mundane. And if that’s not the ultimate blend of relaxation and responsibility, I don’t know what is! A little pampering before the storm—or perhaps it’s a clever ruse to lure us into considering self-care amidst the chaos?
As we all know, the struggle is real out there, and if dancing in a swimsuit at a Parisian spa helps someone’s mental well-being, what’s stopping the rest of us from following suit? Weekend warriors, unite! Let’s embrace our inner carefree spirit while acknowledging the practical hurdles that lie ahead.
So, join Elodie in her quirky mini-revolution against the humdrum norm of weekend errands. Go forth, don your flip-flops, and shake your groove thing while contemplating your laundry; after all, happiness is found in the most unexpected places—even if it’s just a dirty basket at home!
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got a mental load to unload… or is it laundry? Who’s keeping track, anyway?
The video posted on Thursday, November 21, across ses social networks has garnered an impressive “like” count exceeding 6,000. Elodie Gossuin captured herself dancing enthusiastically to the catchy tune of le Jerk by Thierry Hazard, showcasing her carefree spirit with an ensemble of flip-flops and a swimsuit, perfectly embodying the joy of anticipating the weekend while acknowledging the impending household responsibilities.
An evocation of the mental load
“When I think that tomorrow is finally the weekend,” muses the former Miss France in the title of her engaging video. Below, a thoughtful text further contextualizes her post. “I’m going to catch up on my work from the week and tidy up the house, do the laundry that has accumulated, help with the children’s homework… when is vacation again?” she humorously contemplates, vividly highlighting the mental load that accompanies her roles as a mother and a professional.
She also playfully embraces the outfit she dons in the video, a quirky disposable swimsuit, tagging it with the hashtag “EvenNotShame,” which adds a touch of light-heartedness to her reflections.
Last sentence of the post: “Thanks to @bainsdumarais.” This captivating video appears to have been filmed at a chic Parisian establishment that offers various amenities, including a rejuvenating spa and a relaxing hammam, further enhancing the weekend vibe.

**Interviewer:** Lastly, any advice for those struggling with the weekend chores that seem to overshadow their relaxation?
**Elodie Gossuin:** My advice is to change how you think about it. Instead of viewing chores as a burden, try to reframe them as a sort of dance! Put on your favorite music, get the family involved, and make it a fun activity. You might discover that even chores can be a little joyful if you approach them with the right attitude!
