COUNT DOWN BEFORE MOVING

 As mentionned previously, summer is here. And this year is a little bit different than the other years for me 😅. 

Indeed, I stay in Paris but for a good cause : Moving houses soon 🎉.

I've started buying little things for my house. 

Two weeks ago, I had a day off and I randomly decided to go to my favourite shopping center called Beaugrenelle ❤. 

 

Had a little walk looking all cute, I liked my hair this day : 

 

Had a little treat : 

Favourite Almond ice latte & M&Ms donut was so good 😋

And then randomly walk to MAISON DU MONDE with not expectations when suddenly  I saw a cute sofa...and guess what. I got it ❤

I went for the grey version of it...Cant' wait to show you my apartment !!!

I have a week off from tommorow. Will see how everything will go and use the free time to move quickly ! I am soooo excited and I have been waiting for this moment for so long !

 See you next time for good news hopefuly 🙏

BY MYSELF

Wanted to share how amazing my day was ☀️
Most of my friends are on holidays at the moment and I was thinking about how boring summer will be for me.
But it’s actually not gonna be that boring since certain things about my life recently unlocked 😉
I will probably be busy with that. BUT overall, I’ve decided to be happy and hangout just by myself cause why not.
You don’t always need people around to be happy. Always invest in yourself and just live life.
Yesterday was a perfect example 🙌.
I went shopping at Châtelet 🛍️ and suddendly saw a store I never usually go to. I’ve been looking for a cute handbag for weeks on sale but couldn’t find it in store. I found the brand and saw the bag 😍. Instant crush and it was 40 % off !
Such a good deal. I asked if there were a brand new one and the lady said it was the last one 🥹 !
OFC I had to get it. She said I’ve manifested it haha…love this 🙃 !
Can’t wait to use this beauty :

I then ended up in another shopping center called Beaugrenelle that I love 💕 

Had a little coffee amd went to H&M to get some basic Ts. I wanna rock my flare jeans that I emjoy wearing this year ❤️‍🔥

Yesterday I was wearing some earrings. I had a lot of looks. It definatly added something extra to my outfit. And cherry on top, I felt comfortable with them. I will definitely wear earings in the future 😀  !

Anyway all I wanted to say is that I had a fabulous day by myself 🥰

I forgot how a day alone could be so relaxing and fun. I used to do it before…I wonder why I stopped  🤔

So will definatly have more times like that.

One last thing : I’ve waited summer to listen to Ariana Grande’s last album.

What a delight, totally worth the wait. I’ve cried cause her voice is so beautiful I can’t 🥹🌈

SUMMER SALES TIME

Last week I was upset and this week I am happy and optimistic again 😀
See how life is full of surprises 😉. That’s why we have to stay positive and see the good in EVERY situation ^^
There is a reason to this as well : I’ve started by new job. I got a new team and everything is different now.
I’m quite happy with it, I learn new things everyday, my team is funny & entertaining…and is made of different age range.
It reminds me an old company I used to work in and I was so happy about it. Plus time flies, I am so busy with work that I didn’t see the days passing looool. Wich is amazing.
Recently I have decided to shut down my socials, don’t expect things from anybody and focus on me 😀🙌
I am sure, amazing come will come then.
Anyway, yesterday was fun. I went for brunch at Gast again with my friend : 

And then we went for a cool shopping session 🛍️.

Had a a ride at Sephora and found these cute stuffs :

I was looking for a palette with pastel colors so got this 😍

Can’t wait to try it !!!!

Also got these nails polishes, can’t wait to play with them this summer ☀️👀


And finally go these hoops that I hope I will have the courage to wear.

I used to wear them as a teen and suddenly stopped.

I want to get the confidence to wear them again 💪

So I was very happy with the weekend ☀️

ILLUSIONS & ANOTHER SUMMER COMMING

 It's been a long time since I haven't blogged...and there is a specific reason behind it trust me 😒

So many things have happened the last previous weeks such as unexpected drama at work, bad weather...I'm not gonna lie, I didn't feel the best lately...I questionned myself a lot and try to find some anwers 🙏. Life is a long long road of finding yourself and it takes a lot to make the best decision.

I have a tendency to feel like everything is over or lost all the time...but with time I've learned to work with it and try to learn if it was because I really feel  bad or because the environnement around me was always changing ? On ne peut descendre le même fleuve deux fois de la même façon...this is something that I have to keep in mind. And I'm working on it. I don't wanna be emotional anymore. I need to shut down my emotions and be smart, otherwise I'm gonna loose all my opportunities. I needed to do a social cutting this weekend and it feels good. I wanna be by myself, alone and happy. 

And I wanna a be back to the purpose of this blog : being positive, after the rain comes the rainbow 🌈

Patience is gold ! and never be upset because of a bad day cause the next day could be completly different and something unexpected could happen ❤️

So I'm gonna be positive and keep sharing the little moments that make me happy.

 

Last week, I went to place called "Le Gast" for brunching with a friend.

The food was incredible😍

 

 We first had a coffee : It's was so goood

Then food was even better ❤️

I had a benedict egg, croissant, cookie 🍪 and granola...Looks like a lot but it was the perfect  amount of food ! We were talking about recent dramas and of course boys 😉.

It was funny and we definatly had a good time. But not enough time, so we're gonna make it again next week with a little bit of shopping to layer the lunch ^^.

Hope the weather will be good 🙏

 

 Two weeks ago, I had a wedding as well and I wanted to share makeup details cause I was happy with the result 😊.

 

This was my outfit all blue 🩵

ANOTHER INCREDIBLE DAY

Last week, we had a couple of bank holidays. Usually I always go somewhere. But this year, I had no plans. So I stayed home. Didn't do much and even got some little anxiety coming back ☹️

I should have gone for a running, it would have helped me so much. But it's okay I've learned from that. Next time, I will definatly not gonna stay home all day to avoid a similar situtation.

Anyway, nothing carzy happened until saturday.

Saturday, I had to meet up with my lovely friend Alexandra for a coffee & shopping afternoon.

The weather was so on point, everybody was happy 🌈

We want for a coffee at this place called Marcel that I love :

A perfect little moment under the sun ☀️

Then we went shopping, and I found some unexpected little gems...oops 🫢

First these sunnies that I'm so ready to rock 

And then these cute earrings...that I hope I'm gonna wear

The afternoon was so perfect, we ended in the Quais de Seine...it was so beautiful 😍

But the day was not over...Alexanda planned a night out with her friends the same night and asked me if I wanted to join...Off course with these boring past days, I had to say YES.

And it was a fantastic idea 😊 !

We want out by 10PM at an RnB themed party at Titi Palacio.

The place was amazing and people were really vibing :

We had a very good time and ended up leaving by 1AM 

So saturday was amazing...I am happy again...The conclusion to this is that I need to stop worrying about the future, things that didn't even happened LOL...let my mind breathe and LIVE THE MOMENT always...The rest of the month, I want to focus on the present ONLY 🙏

A LOVELY FRIDAY NIGHT

I had to share my last friday night which was unexpectedly good ✨

On Thursday night, my parents's friends have decide to visit us with their kids. Long story short, I usually don't bond with them but this time things were different. The fact that I have changed as a person, made me more open minded. Since last year, I've decided to be less in control of my emotions and just learnt to go with the flow 🙃. And let me tell you, life is so much better now...I've learnt to appreciate things the way they are and stop judging everything. This old behavious clearly blocked me from just let it go and have fun...So I am glad I have changed 🙏🏼

Anyway, back to the story, suprisingly, because of this change, I have managed to have a good time with the two kids (they are actually grown lol). I've started having conversations with them, the vibe was good and we basically all had a good time ! 

I would never expect to say that one day 😌 but look at me know !

Since we were in a good vibe, I've decided to go out with them the next day for dinner. 

I've decided to go to this new restaurant called GRUPOMIMO, 7 minutes away from my place.

It's adorable, small, cute but the vibe was amazing :

A cute little table was booked on the side for us 😚

Then we had some yummy food, I went for a pizza :

This is not what I would usually have but this was incredible. I couldn't even fish it 🤭

And for desert, I was too full so I had a drink that was yummy :

So yeah the night was fun and we got lucky with the weather. Hope more fun times like this will come.

Still waiting for a nice stable weather ☺️.

SUN IS BACK ?

 Last week I was literally complaining about the spring being not what is was expecting to be 🙃

Well guess what !? Sounds like someone heard me complaining cause this weekend the sun was finally there 🎉 and I couldn't complain about it...

I've decided to go out and enjoying this lovely weather ☀️ and it was a success, I had such a peaceful sunny day 🌸 !

It's crazy how a little bit of sun can change a whole mood. I felt very happy inside...didn't feel this way since last autumn and let me tell you, it was a beautiful feeling 🌾 !

I wanted to share some of my beauty routine : I had to transition to spring makeup. I've rocked the red lips & dark pink cheeks the whole winter, now it's time to go softer :

FACE 

Revlon colorstay foundation #Rich Ginger & #Rich Tan

Mac Studio Sculpt foundation as concealer #NC45

Maybelline Fit Me Concealer #Caramel

Ben Nye Translucent power all over my face 

Ben Nye powder #Pretty Pink mixed with W7 loose powder #Natural beige on under eye area

Mac Mineralize skinfinish powder in Medium Plus on my under eye area

Mac Mineralize blush #Love Thing

Fenty Cream blush #Riri

Sleek Contouring kit highlighter #Medium

Bobbi Brown highlighter #Bronze

Urban Decay Quick Fix spray

EYES

Benefit Bad Gal Bang Mascara

Makeup Revolution Mouss Shadow #AmberBronze

Huda Beauty Goldrose palette #Coco used on the end on my brows

Benefit Goof Proof brow pencil #2,75 in the beginning of my brows

Benefit High Brow under my brow bone

LIPS 

Mac Powder Kiss Liquid Lipstick #DevotedToChili

I have done with differently with my underage powdering this time : Remember last october I was complaining about not liking the Ben Nye Pretty Pink powder ?

Well guess what ? I was using it wrooong ❌

I've learned that the powder was supposed to be mixed with another powder. So I've mixed my W7 Powder in Natural Beige with it and I've loved the result as you can see about ☺️.
No darkness and my undereye area doesn't look cakey at all 😍

The only advice I would give it not use too much of the Pretty Pink Powder, cause it would deepen the undereye area since it's very thin. So please use the tinest amount 😉 and you'll be fine  !

Next I wanted to make a change with my hair. 

Lately it looked so dry and ashy. I've decided to dye them dark brown again with my usual box dye.

And it made them so much better and shiner ! But it made them dry.

I don't really like to use any conditionner on my hair cause it tends to make them greasy since my hair is thin. So time, I've decided to try something different :

I have applied them only on the ends and I was quite pleased with the result. I will try to use this technic for a couple of weeks and see how it goes and let you know.

I used this conditionner :

Garnier Avocado Oil & Shea Butter condionner

Hope this routine will change my life 🙏🏼

And last thing I wanted to share : Currently everything that i used to love back in the days 2005-2006 are back in trend 😍 I love it and I can try new things.

I am obssessed with wide legs jeans.

I got one in black from Zara that I've rocked the whole entire winter.

I got another one in grey and I feel like I am gonna wear it all the spring 😌

Look at her :

So obssessed 😊 and can't wait to wear it more and more

That's all for today folks 💋

SPRING BEGINNING

Has you can see from the title : Spring has started 🌸

But not the way I wished it would LOL. Let me explain : I got some weird vibes in the beginning of march. The weather was not it, I couldn't really go out...so yeah I can say it... March was SHIT 👀

Nothing much to do and dealt with it by just working on my personal projects...

I had some few times that were cool that I am going to share with you as a memory.

In the beginning of the month, I went for a mexican brunch at TIGER MILK.

The setting was cute and cosy :

And the food was very diverse : 

So even March wasn't the best, I managed to have a good time on that day ☺️

But thank god, March is over.

New month, new start ! 

I felt a little anxious in March and even this morning. I usually go for a run in the morning and yesterday I didn't cause I felt so tired. I didn't feel good all day.

But this morning even more I felt tired, I went for a run and it just changed my mood. I felt strong, hopeful and happier. I wanted to hightlight how such a small move can change your mindset and makes a day better ✨. And once again, it's up to you to be happy or be drown by negative emotions.

Instead of thinking about inexisting issues created by your own mind, think about all the things you can accomplish and how you can set them 💪🏼. Running has been the best decision that I have made for myself.

I hope I will go futher on my fitness journey in the future as well.

So I had a super cool, relaxing day 🙂 ! And set the vibe with Tory Lanez album that I can't stop listenning to 😍. I feel it's gonna be my april bestie 🎶

Hope I'll come back with sunny and exciting news 💃🏽
