France 2016 || Paris, Disneyland & Lyon ♥

I know... Spring break is over for most of us. But don't cry, summer is really close for our next travel experiments. Well, before we hop onto the summer craziness (aka summer make up, clothes, activities, travel and other everyday things etc.), i'll tell you a bit about my trip in ... France ♥

Eiffel Tower, Paris

La me at Notre Dame, Paris

Paris is one of the most beautiful European cities, and it holds the name "the city of light" for a reason: when the sun goes down, Paris presents some of the most beautiful city lights I've seen. The Eiffel tower is light up (and it had different theme some times, it was sparkly when i was there!!!), everything looks amazing to make you spend the perfect parisian night like you see in the movies. Although, you have to check the weather before you go, because spring (March/April) in Paris isn't as warm and dry as you can imagine: it was raining every single day!
Rain can be cute and give this melancholic and beautiful feeling in the air, as long as it doesn't mess with your straightened hair and your make-up that is on flick for the photos!

Notre Dame, Paris

Love Locks, Pont des Arts Bridge

Waking up in a hotel room in Paris, is really something.. You wake up with a different mood: you feel like you are living in past century and you wanna go out, have breakfast and then wander around the city in your vintage dress until it's time for the Mullen Rouge. Well, not exactly like that, but you have that chic french feeling when you walk across the Seine River, looking all those little vintage shops and artsy buildings until you cross the beautiful Pont des Arts bridge. This is also called the "love locks bridge" because couples go there and attach padlocks (with their names written) on that bridge, then they throw the key into the river, to "lock" their love, to be committed to each other ♥♥♥ (Aww!!)

There is water, parks, flowers, lights, sweets and a vintage beauty in Paris. This city can give you everything: a simple walk by the river, or a shopping therapy in the most popular fashion boutiques. It combines the modern and the old, the eccentric and the chic. Every girl that respects herself enough cannot go to Paris without visiting at least once the very known Laduree bakery. I knew that my first day in Paris as an official french girl i had to have a real authentic french macaroon in this shop (and I did! So yummy! ♥). Well, I didn't have one, actually, I had four, but it's just semantics. Also, the Eiffel tower, the Louvre and the Notre Dame are among the most popular sight seeings, but there are many more beautiful parissian places to visit: Montmartre, Champs-Elysees, Palace of Versailles and, of course, Disneyland!

Ok, what can I say about Disneyland? It's a place where dreams come true.. ♥ 

The minute i passed the gate and stepped my foot in the disneyland park, it was real. All the fairytales i was reading, all the disney movies i was watching... everything came in life in front of me and I was feeling i was one of them! Beautiful scenery, amazing colors, cute shops, sweet fairytale music and all the disney characters in front of you. The most beautiful day of my life ended even greater (if this is even possible) with a half-hour firework celebration at the closing time that took place at the Cinderella's castle, aka the Disney castle, aka the -house of my dreams- castle!

Lyon by night, Fourviere

Before this amazing trip comes to an end, i decided to visit the city of Lyon, a very beautiful city in east/central France. It's not nearly as crowded as Paris is, but i think this is a beauty of it. It's like a little not so popular Paris, and it has almost everything that Paris has: Lyon has the Basilica of Notre Dame & the Metallic Tower, both of which are in Fourviere, and are resemblance of the Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower of Paris. 

A warmer feel of air is what you feel in spring while walking across either one of the two beautiful rivers Lyon has, and also tasting some delicious french sweets and pastries that those little chic french "patisseries" offer. My choice: of course the pink pig!

But they say a picture is worth one thousand words, imagine how many words a video would worth!! Although i could ramble on and on about how beautiful France is for hours, isn't it better to see my whole Paris & Lyon experience but also my Disneyland day through my video vlogs? Merci beaucoup, gros bisous ♥♥♥

Spring Break Activities ♥

Spring is officially here! The smell of the flowers starts to touch your nose and the sun becomes more and more present. You have that feeling of freedom, like the summer is too close you can almost touch it, and you have free time from school, university or other activities. But how can you spend your free time? Well, that's why i'm here for!

Spring is all about flowers and nature.. Wear your comfy shoes and take a walk around, explore a forest, wander around a garden, or whatever is colorful, fun, and reminds you of spring. Walking is also good for you, because summer is loading, and we all want a nice bikini body to hit the beach. But we also all have eaten tones of food and sweets in winter and we haven't yet lose all those christmas bellies. So, spring is a great season to start working out since the weather is nice and warm, most of the time. Take your snap-back, your sunscreen and start walking or jogging. 

Except for exercising, or taking walks and exploring the nature, when the weather starts to get warmer, it is always a cool idea to hit the beach. Although it is spring, April can be a little chilly to go

swimming, so you can just lay around the beach, enjoy the sunshine, relax and read your favorite book, or you can go with your friends later in the evening, light a fire and have fun ♥ For those of you who are more daring and would like to try get into the water, you can experiment with some watersports that can be extremely fun.

With spring, here come the strawberries ♥
This season of the year has some of the tastiest fruits: strawberries, apricots, pineapples, mango and tangerines are only some of them. This is a good opportunity to start cleaning your diet and eating healthier. This way you will not only feel better, but also get one step closer to your summer body goal ;)

Although i never stopped eating ice-creams and frozen yogurts (even in winter i really cannot stop, i'm obsessed!), you can now start experimenting with different recipes for healthier snacks: you can make natural ice-cream out of strawberries or your fav fruit, eat low fat frozen yogurt with fruits etc.

Last but surely not least, every season has its fashion. When you feel the warm springy air you know it is time to start putting away the heavy coats and the winter clothes, and start taking out the cute, pink and floral outfits. Spring is the best season to combine all the kind of outfits: skirt with boots, jeans with sandals, everything is allowed. So start wearing those beautiful colorful dresses, and don't forget the headbands: flower and hippie headbands are a must the last years!

But why stop on your outfit and not redecorate your room? It's this time of the year that you throw away all the dark winter color sheets and pillows, the snowy decorations and give your room a fresh spring air. Since spring is all about flowers, floral or polka dots light color sheets will give a sweeter sense in your room. The dark colors will be replaced by lighter pink, purple, blue and my personal fav mint green color.

Those were some ideas to inspire you to do something creative with your free time and make you feel the spring vibes.
But if you have the time and the money, why not travel? Spring break vacation can be so much fun: roadtrips with friends or family, go to an island, or go camping. 

So you wanna know what i'm gonna do for spring break? I'm gonna give you this hint: fairytales aren't just for little kids ♥
