Arguing.
In the big scheme of things, it all sounds pretty futile, doesn’t it? I mean what’s that tiny little thing compared to what’s going on around the world?
I don’t know what it is. I’m not really sure when it happened but I have changed. I have gone into this kind of mood where it seems like nothing really matters anymore. Who am I to complain about anything or hold any grudge or judgement over anyone or anything? What rights do I have? How can I pretend this is important when the world around us is crashing down?
It’s not that important. It won’t change my life. It won’t make a difference in the world. Thus, why should I care? Why should I bother? Now, it all goes above my head. It floats away.
I used to be someone who would argue about pretty much anything with anyone. I could be picky and uneasy. One even said I was very opinionated. A long time ago, I decided that I had to change people. I had to make this world a better place. It was sort of my responsibility to fix their lives.
This year has taught me many things. Among those things, there are valuable lessons. I need to see people for what they are and not what they could be.
Life is too short for me to spend it trying to fix what’s broken. Broken doesn’t mean something is wrong. Broken cannot always be fixed. Sometimes, it’s better to simply let it be broken and walk away.
I’m not saying I gave up on people or relationships. I simply realized that it was consuming. It was exhausting to fight those battles alone, to be the only one making an effort. To try to give life to what was already dead. There was no fire left and by trying to light it up, I was extinguishing my own fire.
By trying endlessly to hold on to what was already gone, I was wasting my energy, my love, my time. The negativity was spreading all over me. Having so much empathy that you can relate to anyone - or any situation - is draining. You always put yourself in their shoes. I have this habit of expecting people to do the same. Unfortunately, it seems like something not everyone can do.
Where was that girl who always saw the bright side? That Bossy girl who would always find a silver lining to pretty much anything? She was left alone, cold and tired on the side of the road. What had she gained from giving her all to the wrong people? Nothing. Emptiness.
That’s why that girl has now decided to forget and forgive. To let others, fight their own battles. To let them argue and waste their time on frivolous things without her. She had far more better things to take care of. Sadly, in this universe, what they were determined to bicker about was nothing. If it didn’t involve life or death, she would not be bothered anymore. She would pick her battles more carefully now. Only fight for those who needed and valued her.
What are your thoughts? What’s the most important thing you have learnt his year?

Hello lovebirds,
I hope all is well. I don't think I've ever done a homeware wishlist which is quite odd as I loooove home decor. Probably like 90% of the girls I know or follow. I love homeware. I guess the best part of having my own space is that I can design it however I want. I can make it a reflexion of me. It can be my very little happy place. My flat is my home. I love that feeling I get when you open the door. Don't you love that feeling? It comes pretty close to the feeling you get after you're finally reunited with your
In this flat, I've really been feeling it. It's like a blank canvas. Everything is white: the walls, the floor. It's dreamy. I'm loving it. I'm building it one paycheck at the time. Yeah, it's taking time. I'll share a few snaps with you as soon as one room is finished... So stay posted, my birds!
I gathered here items I love and wish I could buy. I can't wait to find out which ones you like! If you have any recommandations do not hesitate to share those with me :)
Here you go. Those are my dream items. What's on your homeware wishlist? Do you like home decor?

Hello lovebirds,
I'm that kind of person. I trust my guts. I don't do usual. I do weird, out of the box. Stand alone. All or nothing. Ride or die. Jump in or out. No tip-toeing, no thinking before I speak. I don't believe in words. I don't believe in settling for something. I don't believe in second choices. I would rather do nothing than to half do something. I don't trust appearances. They are always misleading. Things are always more complicated than that. There are always two sides to every story.
However, I can understand why someone would consider it. It brings security. It brings some kind of confort in knowing that you won't have to work twice as hard. It can also be a safety net. It's a safe bet.
Life ain't easy. So why should you complicate things? Why should you pick the complicated over the plain simple? Why bother? Because it makes you feel alive. Taking a risk makes your heart beat ten times faster. Being bold and brave are exhilarating. Saying yes - and no when necessary - to life is what makes it so surprising and wonderful.
What do you think about settling? Have you ever had to settle?

Hello lovebirds,
I try to be conscious about the way I shop. Oh boy, it's not easy. Especially since we live in a world where fast fashion is everywhere. No one seems to care about Ethic. The fashion industry is making millions with poor working conditions. Most of the time, there are no disclosure, no official statement. Every bad thing is kept under control.
Fashion has always been a big part of my life. When I was a kid, I would dress up and pretend to be in a fashion show almost every weekend. I love fashion. I love the power of fashion. However, I think it's important to be conscious of how we shop. I don't mean for you to stop shopping in Primark/Zara/H&M because they can produce cheap and affordable clothes. We all have different budgets and priorities.
We have all been there. Letting the society decide for us what to wear and who to be.
I'll simply ask you to consider changing your consumption habits. Buying less. Making it count. Looking for Ethic shops. Looking for quality over quantity. Supporting local - or simply smaller companies - over big groups of the fashion industry. To not throw away clothes - and money - or buy things you will never wear - just in case.
Whenever I'm shopping, I always ask myself the following questions: " do I really need it? Where was it made? What group owns this fashion clothing store? Do I see myself wearing this for years to come?"
Whenever I can, I buy stuff from local artists, vintage or members of the Ethical Trading Initiative shops. If you have not watched it or are not aware of the True Cost of Fashion. I think you should have a look on their website & movie.
On that note, I have gathered a few unique items from my favourite place to shop: Etsy. You don't have to break the bank to be careful about where to shop.
I prefer to invest in key pieces than to have a big closet filled with cheap and trendy clothes. What about you?
I hope you'll be inspired. Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hello my loves,
I am a big fan of Yoga. I used to do a lot of yoga but now with my work and my studies, I don't have much time left. However, I always make sure to do my sunday yoga. Most of the time, I find nice videos on youtube and follow them. I don't know what it is about Yoga but I looooove it. Ever since, I started I can't let go.
More often than not, people have the wrong idea of what yoga is. They have this idea of what it should be. I often hear people who have never done yoga say that it's very boring. How can you know that you don't like it if you have not tried it?
If you give it a try, you might be surprised and learn to love it! It's an easy way to work out and refresh your mind. You can even simply do 5 or 10 min Yoga. It's simply up to you. Going out of one's comfort's zone is soooo important. That's where the magic happens.
I hope you'll find some of those videos helpful. Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hello lovebirds,
I hope you're having a lovely day. I can't believe the month of July is almost over. It went by sooo fast and yet so slow. It was a big month for me. The finish line. I feel so happy it's behind me now. I feel lighter. I have decided to take this time to reflect on this past few months. It's time to be grateful. In this world, we take too much for granted. Cleary, we've all become disposable. We are always rushing, wanting, consuming. We all tend to loose focus on what matters. If this year has taught me anything it's just that.
1. I'm finally going on holidays. It has been way too long. I'm so excited to discover Milan. By the way, if you have any tips or place to recommend, I would love it!
2. Friends definitely are the family we choose. I've finally accepted that in life, you loose people and that's okay. Some people are not meant to stay in your life. They are part of your past and that's for the best. Only the best sticks around.
3. This is the end of an era for me. I've given a year of my life to the company I work for. It's the end of a chapter and I can't wait to see what's next. The unknown is something exciting. It's full of opportunities.
4. I went a bit cray-cray and got a second hand designer bag. It's one of those designer bags I've been drooling over for years. Who said I was sane?
5. Time. Time does make everything better. Smoother. Easier.
Thank you for reading and I'll see you on Thursday ♥ x

I think we have all been there. This 'too much' feeling that cuts you to the core. Why is the world like this? What does it has define everything? Why can't we simply live? Why can't we be enough? Why does everything and everyone always have to be too much or too little? Can't we find a balance?
I don't know about you but I've always been called too much and yet never enough. I'm always defined as ' a handful '. I always take too much space. I always open my mouth too much. I'm a walking paradoxe. If there is anything I've learnt over the years is to never appologize for who you are. - unless you're an asshole then get them a new phone. You are who you are. Life happens. Things change. We all make mistakes and learn from them. There is no such thing as being not good enough or too much when you did the best you could.
Society claims that I'm human therefore I am fragile. Don't we all learn at a young age that feelings don't matter and we should hide our hearts? I guess, I skipped that one.
If there is anything I'd like to say to people who are defined by society as too much,, it would be the following message:
YOU ARE TOO MUCH TO BE PUT INTO WORDS. YOUR GREATNESS IS GREATER THAN WHAT THEY CAN PROCESS. YOU ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH. YOU ARE WHAT THE WORLD IS MADE OF. SOMEDAY, SOMEONE IS GOING TO SEE ALL THAT YOU ARE AND BE AS GREAT AS YOU. THEY WILL SEE YOU AS A CHALLENGE. A CHALLENGE THAT THEY CAN MEASURE UP TO AND ALL WILL BE ALRIGHT.
Cause after all, society only fears what they cannot understand.
What about you, what is your label? Have you ever been called: "not enought" or "too much"?

The truth is I'm at a loss for words. I find it hard to blog about make up and lifestyle when everything around us is crashing down. I love blogging. I love make up and lifestyle. I shouldn't probably let the bad things win. It's letting them win to give up, isn't it? But how can I keep going ? How can I pretend that nothing changed ? How can I pretend that this world is not a gigantic mess ?
I'm not afraid. I'm... Overwhelmed. This world has become so sad and so scary. It keeps on bringing hate and despair.
Where do we stand? Can't we press pause for just one second, love?
Life goes on. Life doesn't go well these days. It's chaos. It's tears and unity. I'm loosing hope in humanity and mankind. We have been fighting for years. We have been killing each other for years. When will it be enough?
Let's decide it's enough. Focus on the good. Focus on how united we need to be. We can be one. One big united world. We are not so different these days. We are all afraid and lonely. This is a scary and sad time to be.
There is nothing we can do. Pray and love without you.
My heart is broken. Broken to see how little humanity is left in us all. Please do not let fear dictate your actions.
This is not the end. Things will get better.

Good morning my lovebirds,
I don't know what has gotten into me this month - let's pretend it's a one time thing - I did a lot of shopping. One could say I have a - not so - serious affliction. I guess, there are worst things to be addicted to than online shopping... At least, this time around, I managed to only order two things.
My order came very quickly. I live in France and it only took 5 days for my parcel to be sent and received. Consider me impress!
― Rose Gold Marble Macbook Case
I was amazed by the finish and the quality of this product. It's very well made. It fits perfectly my macbook pro. I have never owned a macbook case that nice. The only downside I could think of is its weight. The high quality of the material makes it a little heavy. Nonetheless, it's soft, matte and sturdy. It is everything I could have dreamt of!
― Marble Blush Iphone Case
Back when my old computer was alive, I purchased a macbook skin case in that exact same shade. I was so crushed when my computer died and I had to give it up... Well, until I realized I could purchase the matching Iphone case. Although, it looks a bit different, I like it. It's whiter than my macbook skin but it looks cute as hell. Besides, it goes well with my rose gold Iphone!
