last night was the end of the year party at school

i almost didn't go because i didnt want to be bothered, but so glad that i went.

we drank, ate, exchanged gifts, talked, and most importantly i received my certificate!

it's so weird that this whole journey here is coming to an end. i think back on all the weird, hard, difficult moments here and i'm so thankful for them. a big part of me wishes i tried a little more harder in school, but i guess i can just try harder in the real world.

so many things to do when i get back home! for now, im going to enjoy my last 5 days as a tourist in this city and visit museums & shop!

1 week

i have one more week in Paris.

i'm still sick, but trying to look past that (so maybe a redo in a few months?)

i have so many things to buy.

i have so many things to eat.

i still have so many things to see!!!!! 

i had a mini freak out on sunday. realized that i have a whole new life/beginning when i return to chicago. although i truly look forward to it, i will cherish and always remember this alone time i had in paris. just me.

snow in paris! 

home sick

im home, sick for the second day in a row. this is my second time being sick in this city, and its much worse this time! :( wishing for my family and my significant other to cuddle me :)

you see that prickly, star shaped(?) broccoli thingie? finally found out the name---romanesco broccoli...!

last day of november

damn its SO COLD

went to Grevin museum today...its like a wax figure museum...it took like 20 mins to see the whole thing haha.

ate at Eric Kayser's boulangerie. yummiest sandwich and all it was-was a baguette (parfait in every way), butter, and a few slices of cheese and ham. the baguette sandwiches here are so funny. they hardly contain and meat (so different from the American generous portions) but the baguette itself makes up for everything!! i will truly miss eating sandwiches with like nothing in them!!!! ahhhhhhhhhh.

still cant believe i have only 3 weeks left... :( :(

its crazy how fast time flies by
its crazy how easy it is to take things for granted
its crazy how things are always changing, but how some people never change (for good or bad)

#31

Ferris wheel at Concorde, hipstamatic, taken by moi

I've been in Paris for almost 3 months and I only have 31 posts...tsk tsk.

The rain stopped for the most part last week but began again saturday night. SOO COLLDDDDDD. and since it gets dark so early I hate doing anything outside. hmmp.

I officially have exactly 1 month left in this city. What is left for me to do? This city has started to become my home and I feel like I am getting lazy about doing things...BUT you all know I'll do something about it!

It's exam week at school so we basically have the whole week off! I have internships all week so the only days I have off are Thursday (Turkey day!!) and Saturday! I'll be on set of a tv program tomorrow--something about Michael Jackson, Friday is a makeover party at the Gap (yeah Americain!), and Sunday is another defile (fashion show)! I guess they are trying to have us 3 monthers get the most out of our time left at the school!

I still haven't bought flowers here yet for myself. I was hoping visitor #1 & #2 would have bought me flowers but those boys are SLOW~~~~haha. 

I have so much shopping to do before I leave! Gifts for all (unless I end up eating it all before). I plan on buying teas, soaps, chocolates, & a couple of wines.

Speaking of wines...I've been a serious wino. I drink 1/2-1 bottle a night about a few times a week....hehe it's the best when the weather outside is cold!! 

more updates to come

You know it's fall....

steak frites

so jeudi I treated myself to two bottles of wine (riesling from languedoc, 1 cotes du rhone) and steak at the supermarket

et voila!

pan seared beef with french fries, baby greens (frisee, spinach arugula), sauteed shallots and garlic

added some brie that i always have in the fridge! + mustard! the mustard here is intense! 

close up!

I went to the village farmers market this weekend...so stay tuned!

M C B

My estage (internship) on monday was at the MCB (mondial coiffure beaute) which is a big hair show with vendors like l'oreal, kerastase, redken etc etc

we worked backstage for Schwarzkopf which my mom actually uses in her salon so I was super excited!!

I didn't have a camera or my iphone on me so no pictures....for now!

HAPPY 11/11

JEUDI MORNING RANDOMS ROUND 1: CARREFOUR EDITION

look at what I woke up to this morning...the skies here amaze me everyday despite the ugly rain

the yaourt aisle. never ceases to amaze me. why don't we have this in the us???

I'm counting down the days to when the beaujolais wines come out....oh la la

jour d'armistice

it's a holiday today so that means no school & the supermarket closing early! thank goodness I got my lazy self out of bed !!

expect lots of updates this week/weekend...muhaha.

je suis desolee

I fooking suck at updating this thing.

I think it's mostly cause I know no one reads it and I'm too lazy to write out everything...whyyyy?

Anyways, Octobre (no that isnt a spelling mistake) was an amazing month for me. My brother came for three weeks. I saw him launch his magazine at Colette with Larry Clark, I had someone to go to cafes & eat crazy delicious things with, and we reflected on how far we've both come considering this has been both of our dreams for so long.

After my brother left, my boyfriend came during my much needed holiday from school. Low and behold, on the third day he was here he proposed to me in front of the Eiffel Tower. I'm not very good with sappy moments, but if I could go back I would have screamed and did the whole jumping up thing (and worn a cuter outfit hehe).

et voila! the ring!

I'm screaming with joy inside right now...but once again I am alone. I have a little over a month left here in good ol' Paris, and I hope to eat and see as many things. I just hope it doesn't rain too much!!!

versailles

this is from when my brother, jessica, and mr. h were in PARIS!!!!! It was so warm that day and I seriously was so hungover/sleep deprived but I'm so glad we went!

We mostly went to the see the Takashi Murakami exhibition and it did not fail to amaze us! The luxe, intricate details of Versailles along with the details of Murakami's jap pop/manga aesthetic were um....AMAZING. 

"For Japanese, myself included, the Chateau de Versailles is one of the great symbols in Western history. It is emblematic of an elegance, sophistication, and artistic ambition that most of us could only dream of. We understand, of course, that the fuse that sparked the fires of revolution led right through the center of the building. But in many ways, it all comes across as a fantastic tale from far, far away. Just as the people of France might find it difficult to recreate in their minds an accurate image of the age of the Samurai, so too does the story of the palace become one that is, for us, diluted reality. Thus, it is likely that the Versailles of my imagination is one that my mind has exaggerated and transformed until is had become a kind of surreal world of it's own. It is this that I have tried to capture in this exhibition, I am the Cheshire Cat who greets Alice in Wonderland, and chatters on as she wanders around the the Chateau. With my playful smile, I invited you all to the Wonderland of Versailles."

-Takashi Murakami.

This basically sums up a lot about how I feel about Paris. My whole life I have created this imaginary world of what I think Paris was (mostly me walking down streets with coffee in hand a really cute outfit) & being here and experiencing everything first hand is so surreal. I laughed when I first saw the Eiffel Tower because I just couldn't believe.

I have been in Paris for almost two months. It's so bittersweet knowing I will leave...and although I can always come back, I can never recreated this experience that I am experiencing now. Hopefully the next time I come back to Paris my parents will be joining me! I feel so guilty when I try to describe the things I've seen, it's just not the same!

INTERNSHIP. I took these pictures (my favorite looks from the whole show) from my first internship for a hair show at Cirque d'Hiver for Michel Dervyn. It was amazing!

10/10/10

well...actually its 10/11 here Paris time.

Missing all my family and friends mostly because I am sick!!!! I'm dying a slow, slow death

I haven't updated in a bit but I guess that it is a good thing because I've been busy actually doing things and not glued to my only friend, my computer :)

Fashion week has been over for a few days, I was so happy to sit second row(!!!) at Elie Saab, had a blast at the launching of my brother's magazie (DDD & met Catherine Baba!) and a lot of other fab things I can't remember at the moment...

Oh! I went to Versailles this past weekend with my out of town friends....AMAZING! I will update with pics of the Takashi Murakami exhibit! I got in for free because I am a student! haha highlight of my weekend!

xx

S

im back

I haven't written in such a long time...

which means that I've been doing more things than just grocery shopping and watching internet tv! yay!

My brother is in town for 3 weeks covering fashion week & of course visiting me! I feel like the luckiest girl really...I mean, I never expected to have anyone be able to visit me (hell,$$$!), but just in the month of Octobre, I will have 3 of my friends from Chicago visit! How lucky am I?

The weather has gotten slightly chilly, and rainy for the most part! School is still crazy in my opinion, only because it takes up such a large chunk of the day (and who wants to go out after school with like a huge makeup bag)! I'm sad we aren't able to go out during school hours to people watch at the shows....but maybe I will find a way!

There's so much more to explain, but at I the moment I feel so overwhelmed! I still have my moments of homesickness at random times, but am so glad to be in Paris. It made me really happy to see my brother "oo" & "aww" at everything around us because I still can't believe I'm here, let alone with my brother! Truly thankful and will always remember this!

How are you all at home? Let me know, will write more later!

xx, bon weekend!

quick update

Hey ya'llllll

Thought I wold quickly update before I leave for school!

Went to my first internship yesterday at Cirque d'hiver (a real circus!!!)

It was for a hair show hosted by Parisian stylist Michel Dervyn! We worked under the chief makeup artist, Audrey B and it was quite an experience!

The circus backdrop was truly magical, I think I am more excited about having been inside a real, old circus than doing the job! 

They fed us there...and WOW...I had cookies (pepito!!) and drip (AH!!) coffee alllllllllllll morning and then lunch was pasta and salad (no one ate the salad) and a dessert bar (I had the most incredible apple pie..I hate cooked fruit and the apples tasted like FRESH apples).

I nearly passed out from all the food. It's been awhile since I had real food (besides the food my roommate graciously cooks a couple times a week). The coffee was the highlight of the day....

Anyways, I will update with pictures when I get back from school ! Hope you had a great weekend, bon matin! xx

getting sick :(  but a few things I learned in the 3 weeks I have been in Paris:

-it never really rains, just drizzles and immediately gets sunny
-people are big on salutations "bonjours" "au revoirs" "bon appetits" and it's really charming :)
-harem "carrot" pants are a must
-pardon=excuse me excusez moi=sorry contrary to what my guide book says. 
-b.o. galore
-baguettes
-new coffee terminology
-french like their bling bling
-how to wrap my scarf...the cool way
-can't live without carbs
- & that I am REALLY, REALLY short....closer to the ground than ever!

morning

Seriously, the weather could not be any more gorgeous!! I'm sitting in front of the window...the breeze is divine!

I woke up with my first hangover in Paris! Haha, I didn't even drink that much, but maybe it's because I don't drink red wine usually and I've been drinking it more here!

Today we (my roommates & I) are going to St. Michael (sp? looks funny) which is only a few stops from our apartment. There's a lot of cafes and galleries there so I'm excited to finally get in on some Parisian action! It's also home to Notre Dame, so maybe we'll get to see it better! (the last time I saw was through the window of a bus!)

I think my bangs need some professional help. They're like too blunt, but I really want to save my money, so that will have to wait.

I seriously am a starving artist here in Paris! It's really funny, but fun at the same time! Save, save, save! So when I actually do splurge (drinking at cafes, ice cream, sweets, junk food)  it's sooooooooo sweet! 

I wonder if I've gained any weight? I eat bread everyday---something I didn't do much of back home! My clothes feel a little looser, but I think I actually need to workout more...!!

thirsty thursday

the view outside my window today, 7 pm.

the rain is so odd (but im not complaining) here...when it rains it's like drizzle on and off..

so i'm drinking the languedoc wine i bought last friday and it's kind of strong so i put some diet coke in it cause i saw it on housewives of new jersey...it's good!

i'm slowly realizing that i am living in an amazing city. i got to do some eye shopping around opera (galerie lafayette, printemps)

zara was a shit show so many damn people...even if i wanted to buy something it's just too crazy and i didn't even want to entertain going into h&m!!

the first makeup "exam" went well!! there are some things i wish i did a little better, but i'm happy with the results! :)

so i totally missed out on fashion's night out paris and i'm totally missing out on NYFW!!! SO JELLY OF YOU ALLLLLLLLLLLLL that get to be there!!! have fun!!

I wish I had the energy (more like time...school is so time consuming and intense!) to write here everyday after school. So many odd things happen to me everyday..!

Yesterday was the metro workers strike. Apparently they do this often. My way home after school took 2 1/2 hours. I almost passed out and I have never been smooshed into a train or bus..seriously sardines in a can style. wow.

School is getting better, but sometimes it seems unfair that the students who know French get a complete explanation where as we (English speakers) get a reduced version and a majority of the time is spent trying translate the English version. Alas, all the teachers are gracious in translating, especially the special effects teacher who translates for us everyday and makes it fun! Her accent is soooo cute and we laugh off a lot of mistranslations! I know it must not be easy for her as a teacher to be corrected, but she does it with grace and a big smile! Merci!

I try to let my loneliness consume me...people don't understand why I would be sad in PARIS, but they should try and come live here not knowing any French or the culture! But I must say I have adapted extremely well for being here a week and not even having a phone! :) *pat on the back*

When I walk around in Paris I still can't believe what I'm seeing. I know I'm here alone, my friends and family aren't here...but at the same time everything seems so natural? Weird.

Anywhooooo I really should be sleeping right now! We have our first makeup "exam" tomorrow!!!!!

I cut my bangs today....by myself! My mom would freak!

sunday

everything is like closed on sunday! I barely made it in time to the market to buy some ice cream (just a 'lil treat). now I'm  just sitting in my bed internetting as usual.

I miss my own routine back and home mostly because I miss my family, friends & and the ability to fully communicate in english

last night blue, sophie (my roommates) and I (they call me "min") went to meet blue's friend adrianna for a drink at this place called experimental drinks. lol. it reminded me of chicago/newyork bars but it was super tiny. probably the size of my living room! I had this drink...no clue what it really was (something along the lines of a caphrina) but it gave me a good buzz (for 11 euros holy shittt. haha) we went home after that so it was a chill night. I noticed that a majority of the people sit at the cafes and enjoy their beer or wine or food which I want to try soon! my brother is coming in a few weeks, so I'm excited to see him, but sad that I'll have school everyday! GUH.

so what will I do today? Thinking about either walking to parc sceux or taking the train to notre dame or luxemborg. or maybe I'll sleep cause I haven't been sleeping much and tomorrow is my first full day of school!!

Miss you guys, I'm so lonely! I wonder when it will go away!

DAY 5

I'm going to stop numbering days after this cause it's beginning to sounds like a prison sentence or something.

Today I had school--first day!

My class is huge...I want to say that its like 30+ people?

Dany Sanz was there to talk about her journey and experiences of bringing her vision and passion (for good  quality makeup, spreading knowlege) to life. 

The whole time I was sitting there (didn't understand much cause it was all in French...but I had a translator for a little bit) I just couldn't believe how lucky and fortunate I am to be able to follow my dreams.

Another thing I couldn't believe was how all these other people are able to afford a whole year's tuition (mine was around $6000 USD for only 3 months and you have to pay it all upfront). So I better work hard and make good money when I get back to the US!

Oh! I'm the only American in my class.......as of now. I hear the group that met earlier in the day had more diversity and Americans. Almost everyone minus a handful of us are French....crazy.

I feel so sick (crazy headache) because all I had to eat today was pain au chocolate and starbucks coffee. The ride home was a bitch cause I got lost for a little bit and the trains have no ac. UGHH.

I thought I'd never say this, but the US is a GOOD place to live. We have everything at our disposal (and for cheap). The only thing we lack is the European passe-ness and culture. lol.

I bought real groceries after I got home from school. Thank god the supermarket is so close and thankfully its a discount market so things are a little cheaper!!!!!!

My skin hasn't gotten any better for those of you who are wondering....HELP!!

DAY 4

MON AMISSSSSSSSSS.

I promise to post up some pics from my iphone...they're pretty crappy but it's better than nothing.

Today I went back to my school to get a bank form...I think they were shocked to see me again and think I am a crazy OCD student. oh well.

Since the insurance office is right down the street from school I stopped in again to pay & pick up the second insurance (I wasn't able to it yesterday because of a promotion they gave me-15euros off, I had to purchase it today), but for some reason it didn't work and I have to go back tomorrow before school (first day!!!). hmph.

After school & insurance office we took a quick bus ride to Opera (we seriously could've walked it) and then went to chinatown(? 13 ere) to exchange my USD (they didn't except one of my 100s because there was a marker/stamp around the face of Mr. Benjamin). We had lunch at a Vietnamese place known for their pho (I didn't try it, maybe next time!)

We originally planned to go to Musee Orsay, but I really wasn't in the mood to walk around! So we headed back to Opera and went to Starbucks (holy SHIIITTT expensive!!) and I got an venti iced americano...but the barista made it with like only ONE shot. UGH. I almost cried, haha (I haven't had real coffee for days). I took it back and the other barista knew right away that it was an f'd up americano....thanks...

I swear there were like 6 baristas working and still they are so slow! I applaud all the baristas back in the states, even the stupid slow ones. 

There are still so many things I am still getting used to: like having to press a button to open the train or bus door (on my first RER ride I stood staring at the door not knowing this panicking in English with all my luggage), drip coffee not being widely available, FRENCH...

One thing I can really get used to is no tax. Yay.

I really like the quietness of my neighborhood...the city seems so crazy and packed, but I'm sure I will get used to that! Also, I feel like no one smokes anymore! I was expecting to see people smoking like left and right, but I guess not! So much cleaner than I imagined.

My skin is C'EST MAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I keep breaking out in little pimples everywhere!! :( My mom tells me it's the water....maybe I'll splurge on facials or french skincare. ugh. :( :( :(

DAY 3

cred streetfsn.com

I wasn't going to update cause I just spent the last 8 hours walking around outside.

Finally made a commuter card so I can freely travel (although I'm scared to....too confusing!)

I had the thinnest, and yummiest pizza (4 formaggi; mozza, camembert, gorgonzola, chevre)

visted my school (so nice...glad its neat and clean!!!!)

made insurance (so surprised how cheap it is!!)

went to eiffel tower, palais de tokyo, louvre museum

met designer (& former chicagoan) eunhwa kim at her new studio

ohhhhh and my roomies and I did a little photoshoot (ones a photog & the other a model) how perfect of a trio are we? I definitely get a lot of work done!

I'm so dehydrated and my skin keeps breaking out into little pimples!! EWWWWW someone help!!

anyways, I hate nights at home cause I get so lonely and start missing you all....

"wouldn't it be nice if we were older....."

ANNIVERSARY. 

Happy 4th anniversary (paris time).

Sorry for everything I put you through.

Sorry I couldn't be with you on this day!

Day 2

I didn't go to bed until around 330 am last night (morning) I ended up sleeping in till about 1130 (for those who know me really well...you know that I hate waking up that late!)

 I tried the yogurt I bought yesterday. SO DELICIOUS, SO CREAMY! I never finish the yogurts I get at home because for some reason my gag reflexes start kicking in but this one goes down so smoothly and vanilla flavor is so yummy! I did some research on french yogurts (yourt) so I'm going to try some other brands soon! Also, the cute little glass bottles they come in work well to hold my makeup and pens and I read online somewhere someone using them as souvenirs to give to their friends as tea light holders!

Today my girl roommate and I went to parc de sceaux which used to be the land of some royalty (i'll research it more later!). The land/parc is humongous...I can't even begin to describe, so I'll post pictures when I go back again. The sky here seems so much closer to the groud, so it's pretty and calming. Maybe once I start making friends I can go have picnics there...hehe.

Because of sleeping in I didn't get to run my errands (like going to the bank etc) so I guess I'll have to do that tomorrow!

Found the magazine/book store today! French Elle, Marie Claire, Glamour etc are 2.50 euros! Not bad, not bad! Can't wait to go back and buy some!

-EDIT-
I went to monoprix (store that sells almost everything) and got a premade caffe latte (like those bottle starbucks frapps) and a croissant (so flaky!). I was looking in the ice cream bin before I bought those things and while I was standing in line, the security guard came up to me. At first I thought he was asking me if I stole an icecream (I put it back when I saw the coffee) but it was actually because I didn't shut the freezer door to the icecream bin all the way! ROOKIE mistake #2. Ha! I kept saying "sorry" and he eventually discovered that I had only arrived in France yesterday. woops.

I called my mom today and she keeps telling me how sad she is which is so new to me because she didn't even shed a tear when I graduated hs and went off to college. Thanks for the love, folks! She says when she gets home she opens the doors and yells my name and no one responds :( But both of my parents are really happy for me and I think it makes them super happy to say that they have a child who's studying abroad!

insomnia

can't fall asleep. its 3 am here.

i don't want to be left alone with my thoughts.

Day 1

PARIS. I'm here! 

I arrived in CDG at 6 am France time (12am ish US) and it feels like I have been here a whole week. I carried about 120 lbs of baggage with me cause the RER(took me an hr to exchange money and buy a damn billet) was the cheapest and "easiest" (it really was easy...just not with all the luggage) way to arrive straight to the apartment I am staying at (which is by the way so much better than expected!)

People have  been telling me to be weary of strangers, hagglers, con artists etc and I put on my mean face as I braved the trek to my new home. To my surprise there were so many people willing to help me lift my bags onto the train and give me directions--even walking to me the door! I know not all people are like this, but it was nice!

My apartment is spacious according to Parisian standards. My room is HUGE. I have a huge window that opens out into the "bustling" neighborhood below,,,and I'm tempted to belt out a morning song one of these days.

The supermarket is literally ten steps away from my front door. They have everything and I have not seen so many cheeses, veggies, meats, breads so "affordable" I thought everything would be expensive$$$$ but apparently not! Just for fun (and to practice my euro money spending skills ALL BY MYSELF ^^) I bought some water and these cute vanilla yogurts that came in a cute glass bottle (for only .99euros) and passed the first test.

I walked around trying to find a place that had coffee without a lot of people in it (don't really need an audience when I embarrass myself) and I did. Forgetting that they don't really do drip coffee here (where can I find a place??) I got a espresso shot with some sugar when I ordered a cafe to go :) hehe. Rookie mistake #1

The neighborhood is so quiet except for the cars...a really chill place I guess!

My roommates threw me a dinner party and I think I had the best t-bone steak ever. We had this amazing Bordeaux wine from 2005 (brought over my roommate's friend) which supposedly was a really good year!

What I love about the french are that they are like to conserve and save! everyone brings their own bags to the market and the lights in the apt hallways are off (kinda scary) until you hit the switch which then it shuts off after a little bit!

pictures hopefully to come soon (my iphone is acting funny and forgot the cable for my camera at home). Tomorrow I'm off to do a little exploring/errands and on Weds I head into Paris (I live 20 mins outside) to take care of school stuff!

one more thing......

HOLY SHIT I'M REALLY IN PARIS!

3 days

so...

packing is hard. it's hard to predict where i'll be going and what clothes i'll need.

i have way too many jackets. too many shoes. it's really hard editing shit into one large suitcase.

i wish i had a more carefree attitude (or more $$ so i can just buy everything there, never happening)

saying bye is hard. its ONLY 3 1/2 months and i know i'll be sad and say, "it was too short!" once i get over there. my parents never show any sadness when i leave to go places (no tears when i left for college), but i know they are sad because so much $$$ is going to be going out (jk!!!)

there is a part of me that is extremely sorry to my parents. this is an extremely selfish thing for me to do.......

but one of my mentors tells me that its my time to be selfish (although i dont feel a lazy girl like me should "deserve" anything like this!!)

so let's make every minute of this trip worthwhile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 FIGHTINGGGG!!!!

moments

UG. it felt like my birthday this weekend as we drank and dance our lives away to bottles of goose and veuve!! thanks to all my friends that came out...cant stop laughing as i recap the night in my head!!

so the countdown officially begins. now im nervous as hell...i still have to deal with school papers once i get to paris and shiizzzzzzzzzzz i dont even want to think about it right now!!

my uniform?

PACKING. UGH! packing is so hard especially with limited space and an option loving person like me. everything i have been packing i have to imagine when/where/& how many times i can wear it because i am not going to lug 2 full immigration luggage bags across paris! so far i have a lot of jackets...its kind of nuts, and i totally get it from my dad who probably has bought every single black jacket from every brand out there. they look the same, but to him they arent and i completely understand!

so overall everything i have packed is much more glam than what i wear here...mostly because i feel like people there will appreciate more, and i have been buying things over the year with "Oh, I can totally wear this in Paris" and imagining myself walking the cobblestone streets with a beret and latte in hand. i know it's not going to be like that, so i need to wake up from that dream! haha!

so these are my dreaaaaaaaaaam outfits. the olsen twins. ugh, i worship them. leather moto shearling, i die (and not because of the cold!) leather black boots, fur = i want it allllllll

anywho, i'll try to post pics of myself there (my roommate is a photographer, what!) but knowing me i am completely lying right now cause i am terribly shy when asking others to take a picture of just me.

paris allons y

PARIS. Bonjour!

Everyone has a damn blog for everything, no? Well here's me adding another 2 cents into the interwebs!

I honestly have no clue what to expect for the duration of my stay in Paris. All I know is that there are a lot of cafes, croissants, wine, cheese, and skinny bitches. So feel free to laugh, cry, and ponder these new experiences I will come across and add your 2 cents! I am open to any suggestions regarding food, fashion, beauty, events, and cultural norms/etiquette!

Merci! xoxo
