Bonjour PARIS!

Word on the street is I'm going to Paris. Oh my gosh, you didn't know? Well, dang let me tell you all about it! (Yeah, I'm bragging. I think I'm entitled to. I'm EXCITED!)

So a couple months back my friend and I were discussing how much we wanted to go to Paris. Everyone knows I absolutely LOVE Paris and the French language. I have always wanted to go. I knew one day I would go, but who knew it would happen so soon? 

Anyways, it's like the perfect time to go: I'm not currently in school, I'm just working, and I don't have any major responsibilities. My parents agreed it would be a good opportunity. So Ta-dah! I'm going. Tickets went down a lot and we were able to book and found a hotel close to everything. We're locked in, no turning back now! I can't believe it's really happening!! 

August 28th-September 4th I'll be there! What's that? You noticed it's during the same time as my birthday? Oh lookey there it is--Happy Birthday to Me! =) Ha.

Natalie and I have been planning away, but there is still a lot to do though. Word of advice for going out of the country-make a list of everything that needs to be done and start early. (Passport, international calls/texts, adapters/converters, hotel, travel, credit cards, places to see etc.)

So some of the places we are planning on seeing:

• Eiffel Tower
• The Louvre
• Notre Dame
• Disneyland 
• Arc de Triomphe
• Seine River Boat Tour
• Sacre Coeur
• Versailles
• Musee Rodin
• The Opera House
• The Wax Museum 

That's only a few on our list. So much more to see!! We are going to be go go go. Besides all the attractions and tourist sites we naturally will be eating amazing French food. Yummy pastries, and chocolate, cheese, crepes, and who knows what else! Aha so exciting!!

I'm also kind of looking forward to the long plane ride. I know I'll be saying something else a couple hours in though. Ha. I looked on the airline's website and saw the movies that they are playing. Good selections!

• The Lorax
• The Avengers
• Mirror, Mirror
• the Lucky One
• The Hunger Games

Plus, I'll have my nook with books. I'm all set!! Ha. I do have to brush up on my French some. At least the main phrases I have down: Do you speak English, Sorry, Excuse me, How much does this cost, thank you, you're welcome, Hello, Goodbye, Please, could you write that down, etc.  I can pretty much understand what people are saying, I just can't speak it as well in response. My accent is awful!

Yay! Yay!

So any advice or suggestions? Either on traveling, places to see, things to do, anything. I'd love to hear them!

July's Birchbox

I was so excited to get this month's birchbox. Five Senses box! I was semi disappointed, not by what I received but how it came. I got a candy bar that melted and was open so it got all over my stuff. It's okay--they gave me $10.00 worth of points to buy products.

Anyways so this is what I received in my box:

• Summer Pastel Fingernail Polish- It's a light sky blue color. I briefly painted it on my nail, it's kind of crazy. Not really the color I wear, but I might try it out and see if it grows on me. 
• Eyeko Liquid Eyeliner- Liquid eyeliner. Love this!! It has like a brush but it kind of reminds me of a pencil too. I love liquid eyeliner. Eyeko goes on smooth. It's a little bit thicker but it's easy to smudge if you want a different mysterious look.I just noticed there are other colors like blue and green. I got black in my box, but blue would be fun to try. Make my eyes pop. Ha.
• Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint- I haven't tried this yet. It's suppose to be weightless and blend very well. I don't really like liquid type foundation. But I'll try it. 
• Larabar- This is the bar that melted all over the place. So I won't be trying that. I've heard good things though. 
• Hello, Hello Perfume- Harvey Prince Hello. The smell is suppose to mimic a warm summer day with the smell of flowers and sunshine. I must say it smells pretty good. Pretty citrus-ey. I enjoy trying new smells. People must love it, it's all sold out on the website. I'm still hooked on my Ed Hardy perfume though. 
• Earbuds-  Colorful and cute. They are the nice ones not cheap. I like them, they don't hurt my ears. Saves like $10 on buying new earbuds. Ha. 

Happy July!
