For the love of skin

I don’t know if it’s the eery sound of age creeping up on me or the realisation that some things (thighs, I’m talking to you) will never change but I am finally tuning into my skin and all its needs. Those monthly breakouts are yet to be tamed, I won’t lie, but overall my skin is in a much better state than it would have been if I continued to turn a snobbish nose to the sacred valley of beauty and skincare products. Wiping off make up and applying the occasional mask was about all I could muster when it came to caring for my skin. Probably the only thing I can say I did right by my skin is religiously applying sun protection for the last five years. You don’t want to hear about my ignorant youthful and bountiful use of baby oil because that’s just disgusting and I would really rather forget about it.

Travel

our Parisian apartment

Soon after we booked our flights for Paris, I stumbled upon Airbnb. From apartments and houses to boats and treehouses, this website offers a unique living experience to add to your travels. Airbnb is a community marketplace where guests can book spaces from hosts, making it the perfect way to connect with people anywhere in the world. We were so fortunate to find Laetitia’s apartment was available because as you can see from the photos, it is absolutely stunning, dripping with vintage finds, books and tons of character. Not to mention the boulangerie located directly below the apartment filling the air with the sweet scent of warm croissants and other delights, every morning. Though this was our first Airbnb experience, I honestly recommend you give it a go. Oh and a big merci to Laetitia! Bisous!
