Gracious Word: Baisemain

7/3/2014

 
baisemain
Word every Gracious Individual should know: Baisemain

Definition: 
Baisemain (pronounced bez-mAn); French; noun
1. A kiss on the hand.

Why I love this word:
It's innocent, lovely, and gracious. A simple kiss on the hand means the world to me, my favorite is actually when my love kisses the inside of my palm. I feel so warm, loved, and safe. It's one of my favorite places to be kissed. Baisemain.
