An end is only a beginning in disguise.

An end is only a beginning in disguise

Hello to anyone who’s still reading this blog !
I cannot believe what I’m about to do, but I am ending things here 😭

I have loved blogging since I was a teenager, but also back then blogging was all the rage. My life has changed since, in all areas, and I’ve grown and evolved, and I have different priorities now; and you can certainly feel that since I’m not often on here anymore.

So basically I want to further my photography work, so I’ll be switching to a more professional looking site, with a portfolio and price points for photoshoots and what not. I will of course share a link right here when it’s done.

As for all the other websites I’ve like opened up over the years, I’m also not gonna cater to most of them. I guess I’ll just be keeping what helps me actually get discovered, and consequently can also pay for my projects… I’m not trying to be stuck.

So I’ve got a big cleaning to do when it comes to my online presence !

You can always follow my (almost) everything on my instagram : click here. I update with recent photos & videos quite often there, and it will be my main tool of work from now on, so it’s like a new blog platform basically.

I thought I’d feel sadder about this decision, but really I’m just nostalgic. Since I’m not closing the blog, I can just come back to it for memory sake anytime, just like you can; but I don’t regret doing this, it was pretty overdue.

This blog has definitely helped me get where I am today, and that’s something I’ll be always grateful for.

Thank you for following me over the years, I’ve appreciated it so much,

Love y’all and see you soon okay ! xoxox

There’s beauty in the little things

Some quiet & alone time

Hello November ! I love you already…

I just like Fall vibes so much, it’s the best season of the year. Actually I think, I kinda ended up loving every season, while I used to be such a summer vibe kinda girl. Which is why I lived in Los Angeles for so long… I think I still am this kinda girl, but I found beauty in the little things, in the little changes, and I fell for this new life of mine.

My favorite thing to do is still just be sitting there, watching sunsets change the sky into this divine abstract art, and this is what makes it worth it. Those colors are full of wonder, and I’m delighted when I stare into it. My mind is nourished by these feelings, and it bursts my creativity ✨

It’s so Kozy here !

It's so Kozy here !

Yummy brunch spot alert 🤗

Omg, I’ve wanted to try this place for quite some time, and I got to with my sister Dakota 🩷 she’s my ride or die, and we always have such good fun time together, so I couldn’t hope for better… except maybe if Naomi, my other sister, was here too, then that would have been perfect.

My sister went in for the pistachio pancakes, which were a limited seasonal item on the menu. She loved it so much, she finished everything right up. She got herself a matcha latte, while I got a caramel latte : I honestly can’t stand matcha lattes, I just always find them borderline nauseating 😂 I really don’t understand the hype, even though I love myself a traditional matcha tea, prepared in a bowl with just hot water.

Anyway, I got the fruit waffles : and they were huge ! I did not expect this size, I literally couldn’t finish. Probably ate at least half of it, and finished the fruits of course, before stopping. I would say it’s more than generous, but maybe not necessary to make such a huge waffle. I for sure will never reorder that item on their menu again by myself, because it’s just too big for me. This is something you share.

Nonetheless, everything was delicious ! And I had the best time, and the latte was super yummy, I didn’t even need to add extra sugar. Also the vibe is so cool, everyone speaks English and it’s close to Notre Dame, and my favorite library which is Shakespeare & Co.

Rating for this super brunch spot would be 8/10 ✨
It’s definitely a place you should try if you like yourself a good ol’ American style breakfast, but with a touch of “modern” since there’s pistachio and matcha and what not.

Indian summer in Paris

Indian summer in Paris

The most beautiful of October’s month in Paris !

I don’t think we’ve had such a warm Fall weather, like ever… I mean at some point we reached 26 degrees Celsius 😄 I was wearing my favorite blue dress, because I knew it was probably the last time until next year’s I could, and I enjoyed the heck out of it.

Little walks in Paris have been so enjoyable because of it, warm weather equals less joint pain for me, so I’ve been not too bad ! But I am ready for winter, not even Halloween, I’m skipping it, I’m already in my winter mood and started binging Christmas movies on Netflix 😅

This & that Q&A

This & that Q&A

I didn’t edit much new photos lately, so I decided to do a recap through a Q&A !

How has your photography hobby developed ?
Pretty slowly, but nicely ! Because I’m still kind of crippled by my rheumatoid arthritis, (I’ve had a horrible flare-up start two years ago), between the fatigue and the chronic pain it has been really hard to adjust anything in my life. But I’ve tried to focus on photography as much as I could when I was feeling okay, and I put some photos on 500px for sale, and managed to get enough sales to buy a little compact camera soon ! It won’t be a professional one, but I have my eyes on something that will give me the feels I’m looking for in my aesthetic. Also it will be a great change from shooting with an iPhone, so step by step, I’m coming back to more serious “photography” basically 😅.

What have you been doing on your free time ?
Mostly spending time with family really, they have been the best support system. I’m trying to reconnect with as many family members as I can, because we all kinda live different places. But nothing can replace a good time with your dear family, also best friends, so I’m literally striving for it.
