Two and a Half Days in Paris

Two and a half Days in

Paris, France

Bonjour! During my time studying abroad in Florence, Italy, I split my spring break between London, Paris and Amsterdam. Paris was the most beautiful of the three and has inspired me in so many ways. This is the story of my two and a half days spent in the City of Love.

Study Abroad Tips

I was lucky enough to study abroad during my junior year of college. I lived in Florence, Italy for four and a half months and learned a lot about traveling, packing, and what’s important in life. These are my top tips to make the most of your study abroad experience.

1) Bring Less Than You Think You Need

The night before I left for Florence, I packed my whole suitcase with everything I wanted to bring. I then took out about a quarter of those clothes. You WILL be shopping, so leave room for new clothes and shoes! To save room in your suitcase, roll your clothes and wear your heaviest shoes on the plane.

Candle Haul- December 2014

I ordered most of these candles way back in September and am finally getting around to a review! Fall is my favorite season and I love burning candles while doing homework, watching TV or reading a magazine. As you will see, I really love pumpkin. All of these candles are from Bath and Body Works and I didn’t pay full-price for any of them. Bath and Body Works always has great sales! They also have some great holiday scents that will be sure to put you in the Christmas spirit! They also make great gifts and stocking stuffers!

Strawberry and Blueberry Smoothie Recipe

 Ingredients

·      Frozen Strawberries

·      Frozen Blueberries

·      Fat-Free Light Vanilla Yogurt

·      Ground Flaxseed Meal

·      Skim Milk

Unfortunately, I’m a very picky eater. I don’t like eating fruits or vegetables so I decided to find a way to sneak them into my diet. I searched high and low on the Internet for recipes and this one is by far my favorite. I make this smoothie for breakfast on the weekends and sometimes as a snack during the week.

Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation Review

I first started using the Estée Lauder Double Wear Foundation two years ago. Because I have oily, acne-prone skin I was looking for a foundation that would leave my skin matte, but not cakey. The Double Wear foundation is oil free and lasts for HOURS. The Estée Lauder website says the foundation will last for 15 hours, and I have found this to be true on multiple occasions.

Not only does it do a great job of keeping my skin matte, it does a great job of evening my skin tone and covering acne. I find that I don’t need to re-apply powder throughout the day when wearing this foundation.
