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!

Good morning my birds,
With yet another long weekend coming up, I thought I would come up with a few tv shows suggestions. One could enjoy spending a few hours in front of a good tv show. What are weekends for if not procrastinating?
GIRLBOSS
We all know I'm a big fan of Sophia Amoruso. I have read her book, watch many interviews and couldn't wait for this Netflix show to come out. I wasn't sure of Britt Robertson's interpretation of her character but god, it was pretty darn good.
THE CATCH
I'm not sure why this show isn't more famous. It has strong and badass female lead characters. It's funny and playful. The ladies are always well dressed. They all kickass for a living.
IMAGINARY MARY
I recently discovered this tv show. We watched 3 episodes in one go. It's so quirky and funny. I didn't think I would like it but I really do. Well done, Adam F. Goldberg!
AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE
I looove this family. It's such a good representation of all those American clichés and society in general. You got to keep up with the Joneses, right? It's funny and sarcastic. It embodies everything a tv show should be.
What about you, what have you been watching lately? Do you have any plans for this weekend?
I hope you enjoyed those tv shows' suggestions. Thank you for reading and I'll see you soon ♥ x

Hello my loves,
I hope you're all doing well. I'll share 5 good things with you. Is there a better way to start off this new month? I don't see it then ahaha - Nothing better than starting anything on a positive note.
1. Kind souls. I'm lucky enough to be surrounded by lovely people. I'm getting so much love and support, it feels so unreal. I guess, it's only when you're in deep shit that you get to find out who/what's real and who/what's not. My tiny lovely circle is all I need.
2. My Instagram feed. I know, it's silly but I love every moment and photos out there. It's like my best memories are saved up in one special place...
3. My wall. It's coming along. I'm still decorating my flat. One month at a time. I'm currently trying to make my white walls better. I decided to start putting up polaroids of my favourite people and special moments of my life.
4. My new leather Jacket. I've waited two years. Two fucking long years and I got it. I got my perfect leather jacket. The mother of all leather jackets. The god send leather jacket is mine. Yes, if I could marry this jacket I would.
5. Knitting. I'm terrible at knitting. I'm not going to lie, it has been a rocky road but I feel like by not giving up, I'm doing myself a favour. Whenever I have a minute I try to knit. Most of the time I mess up but I keep going... 'Cause in life and in knitting, you gotta keep going, haven't you?
The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.What about you, what's good with you? What did I miss?
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

Hello my lovebirds,
I hope you're doing well. The last few weeks have been very hectic. I didn't get much sleep or time to myself but mostly, my biggest excuse for my lack of blogging is : the writer's block.
It seems like my mind has gone blank. I cannot figure out what I want to write about or what I want to do with this blog...
Did it ever happen to you? This feeling. Your mind is suddenly blank. It's like your brain is switched off. There is nothing. Nothing that can motivate you or nothing you could think of. It is all pointless. Why even bother?
I feel like I'm blogging poorly. My content isn't as good as I wanted it to be. I have lost my way.
I guess it has a lot to do with how I've been feeling lately but I'm not drowning yet. I refuse to sink. I'll not let life drag me down with her. I've gone too far. I've fought too hard to give up now. Blogging has always been my little escape.
So, I'm not giving up. I'm not giving up on you, my lovebirds.
I'll not surrender to the waves.
To cheer us up, here are 5 good things of these past few weeks :
1. I've reconnected with an old friend. I'm so so grateful for that. It's such a lovely feeling to reconnect with someone from your past.
2. I'm spending the weekend with one of my bestmates. She is my other half. We have not seen each other in years. I CANNOT WAIT!
3. After a week without hot water, I managed to take a bath. Everyone knows how much I love my baths. There is no trouble that cannot be cured by a hot bath. ♥
4. I've made new awesome friends and met interesting people along the way. It has reminded me of how much I want and need to travel again. I need to find my home, discover new countries, new people and new ways of life ♥
5. Thank you for all the sleepless nights, the laughs, the drinks, the bagels, the dancing and the friendships.
What are your 5 good things? Do not hesitate to share it with us in the comments.

I've been pondering whether I should post this blog or not. To be honest, I've been lost in my mind. It's pretty full. Full of shit. I figured that this post could be a good thing. Cathartic in a way. I also thought it might somehow help someone. Help someone who could be thinking and feeling the same things as me. Sadly, most of us have gone through life. Life has ups and downs. Sometimes, life gives you lemons. And this time, it left a bitter taste.
I'm a big lover of life. I always do my best to appreciate how lucky I am. I'm pretty darn lucky. I have a home, a devilish cat, a job I love and people who care about me. I don't think it gets better than that, does it?
However, I have grown mad at life. Don't get me wrong, I still get amazed by all the little things life brings but there is something about that rotten lemon, I cannot move past. I cannot process and adjust. I cannot wrap my mind around this rotten thing.
I guess this is the moment to stop eluding the subject. God knows, I'm direct. Sometimes, too blunt. On the other hand, this time, it's not easy. I really want to let people know they are not alone in this. I want to know that I'm not alone. Oh boy, how this hurts. It comes in waves and never stops.
Why? One may ask. I will let you on a little secret, my lovebirds...
I have lost my moon. I have lost my strength. I have lost a part of my life. A part of me died with her. I love her to the moon and miss her beyond the stars. She has made me a better person. She raised me. She made me who I'm and I will never be as good as she was. She was the kindest, smartest and most big-hearted person I will ever know.
With her by my side, I would never feel alone. She would always be there to catch me. She always had my back. She was more than a grandmother, she was my mother. She was my role model. She has helpt so many souls. I could not be more grateful. Grateful to have known and loved her. My life would have not been the same without her.
I'm not sure if anyone can understand. If you do, you probably felt the same way. That little crack inside. You have to hold your breath for a second. You want to press pause. You want to stop for a while. You cannot think of a world without her - or him.
And yet, you have to. This is only part of life. Life ends sometimes. There is nothing we can do.
As she would say : LA VITA VA AVANTI.
So this blog is an homage to my Italian blood but also to anyone who might be heart-broken too. Life sometimes gives you some very bitter lemons.
We have all lost something dear to our hearts. We have all been there... So when you're about to break, just know, that I'm here and I understand.
Life is simply like that. Things slip away and nothing lasts. So we might as well enjoy it while we still can.
Hello my lovebirds! I hope all is well on your end. I've been away for a while - dealing with something and then my computer just died on me... BUT I'M OFFICIALLY BACK TO BUSINESS!!!!!!

Hey my lovebirds. I hope all is well for you. I'm trying to get back into blogging. It has not been easy. Time flies. It goes by so quickly. I always have a million things to do and so little time... However, I'm trying to stuck to this one blogpost per week schedule. It's all I can manage... - For now, hopefully!
Anyhow, I'm back with a small photo diary. I went to Paris for the new year. I spent the new year weekend there. It was sooooo freaking cold. I don't think I've ever felt that cold in my life. I was freezing. Nonetheless, it was beautiful city. If you follow me on snapchat, you probably saw how beautiful and vibrant it was. However, I've made a note to self : never go to Paris in the wintertime. I would also like to give a shot out to all those girls wearing no tights and sandals on New Year Eve... in -10 degrees Paris. YOU GO GIRLS! I have all the respect in the world for those fearless girls... I was cold for you, my darlings, with my cashmere tights... What we do for our love of fashion...
P.S I'm pretty sure I've eaten for - and maybe - all of us during this short weekend. #foodcoma

Hey my birds. I hope you're having a lovely time. I'm loving this winter weather. I love comfy and soft sweater, big scarves, booties and hats. So yeah, baby, it's cold outside and I love it.
I'm having a bit of time today so I thought I would chat with you. Christmas is almost here. Only a few days to go before the weekend. This year, I don't have a winter break but I have a little trip planned for next weekend and I'm coming home for Christmas.
I've not been home in months so I can't wait to see everybody. It should be fun.
I haven't blogged in a while and I've missed it so damn much. I've missed you, my lovebirds.
Let's get back on topic, shall we?
We all know how much I love rambling but well, I'm here to talk about Christmas. I'm not overly found of Christmas but I like buying presents for people and getting to see my family. I'm hoping this Christmas will be full of family time. Anyway, we all know how much of a ball of stress Christmas can be so here are my few tips on how to survive Christmas :
1. If you haven't bought all your presents - yes you're in deep sh**. Good luck finding a gift. There is always gift cards. We all know how much thoughts are put into those ahahah You might still be able to get NEXT DAY delivery though or you can always go into shops like the rest of us.
2. Eat light cause babe, your belly is going to be huuuuge in a few days. You might even have to eat twice your size... So prepare yourself physically and mentally.
3. There is 50% chance you'll have to sit next to that relative you absolutely hate and is always so damn rude. I would advise to keep your mouth full at all time or to keep his/her glass full.
4. To answer those annoying - and equally tricky - questions we always get at Christmas, I have only one trick, ladies and gents, surprise them. Go with the most choking, suprising, unsettling answer you could probably think of. I can assure you, it'll shut them up faster than you can slip that wine. Oh boy, it's so fun.
5. Chill, babe. That new year party is just around the corner. Besides, let's think for a moment about all the presents you'll get and how lovely it'll be to see everybody...
If you have any other tips or any Christmas story, please do share in the comments below. I'd love to read what you have to say :) Thank you for reading and I'll talk to you soon x

Hey my loves! I have internet again. Yaaaay! Can I get an amen? I've yet to catch up on everything but I'm getting there. I should get a bit of time on Sunday to write again. I miss blogging so much. Anyway, I thought I'd be back with a lifestyle post on how to get things done. I'm a big believer of doing things ahead instead of last minute.
FYI : There is nothing wrong with doing things last minute tho... We've all been there...
As it is a busy time of year, here are a few tips to help you navigate:
1. Sit yourcute ass down.
2. Shut off your tempting electronics - yes, it means your phone too. Sorry not sorry, dear!
3. Take a deep breath and focus
4. Write down all the things you need to do
5. BREATH AGAIN. - Yep, I saw you. For real this time, cutiepie!
6. Make some tea or coffee
7 Sit down again and while you drink your coffee/tea, try to define an order
8. Do the ones you hate less or are quicker to do first
9. Keep going, BABE! The sooner the better.
Good luck, lovebirds!
Do you have any tips on how to get sh** done ? How do you proceed? I'd love to know and I'm sure others here would love to hear it as well. Let us know in the comments below! Thank you for reading and I'll talk to you soon ♥ x
