Hello Lovelies,

This week my post is going to be a bit special, Thanksgiving was only last Thursday and I do not celebrate Thanksgiving as I am French but I still believe that people in my life should be thanked.

1. I am thankful for the opportunity that my parents gave me to travel the world with them and to discover countries like I have never before,

2. I am thankful for my education and the fact that I can consider myself bilingual because of that education,

3. I am thankful to my brother and my sister for still loving me even though I put them through hell every single day,

4. I am thankful that nearly all of my close family is alive (expect my grandpa) and that I get to tell them I love them every single summer,

5. I am thankful to my closest friends for always sticking with me through thick and thin, and even when I moved around and forgot to message you, you were always there to remind me that you support me and that you love me,

6. I am thankful to all the pilots that flew the plain I was in because thanks to them I haven't crashed and burned,

7. I am thankful for all the people in the world that still believe we can make the world a better place and change what is currently happening, 

8. I am thankful to every single person that writes on Wattpad and makes me smile every day with their stories,

9. I am thankful to my father for waking up every morning to go to work and make sure that we can live a life in which we are never in need of anything and loving me,

10. I am thankful to my mother for waking up every morning making sure we have food on our table at every single meal, cleaning the messes we leave all around the house and loving me.

I hope you enjoyed this post and please take a moment to thank your family and tell them you love you do not know if you'll see them again tomorrow.

Love, Elise xx
Hello Lovelies,

Two posts in two weeks this has to be a record. 

I would like to start off this blog post with a particular event that affected me personally, the attacks in Paris. I am French and have lived half of my life in France, 5 min next to Paris. Waking up to News Alerts about bombings and shootings in your city is something I wish I would never have to do again. What enrages me the most is that those people who killed 129 people will never be judged by the law they decided to kill themselves not letting the families who lost loved-ones receive justice. I would like to send all my prayers to the Parisiens and to send them my love and even if I am 6000 miles away, I stand by their side. #PrayforParis

Now, let's get going with my nighttime routine. I always start by removing my make-up if I have any on my face. To do so, I use the wipes by Hema, they are the 'It's my beautiful skin day, cleansing wipes for dry and sensitive skin'. I have been using them for approximately 2 months and I do not really enjoy using them but I hate wasting and therefore am trying to finish them. I have a sensitive skin and I feel like they are attacking my skin more than removing my make-up. To cool my skin down after using the wipe I splash warm water on my face.

After that I brush my teeth, I currently have braces I avoid flossing as it kills my gums and I start bleeding, but generally I like to floss my teeth every other night. I like to use colgate's toothpastes as I feel like they make me teeth feel the cleanest out of all the toothpaste's I have tried.

After brushing my teeth, I cleanse my face with my Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pore & Shine daily scrub. The one that I bought is the tangerine and lime one which is suppose to vividly mattify your skin and help tighten pores. I have been using this product for 5 months every single night and it has visibly made my skin look healthier. I also think Neutrogena is a good brand and it smells delicious.

Afterwards, I apply my moisturizing cream, I massage my whole face and apply the cream on my ears, neck and cleavage. I like to thoroughly use my cream on every part of my upper body. I use the Cien aqua moisturizing cream. Cien is a very affordable (like really affordable) skincare brand which works magic. I have tried many high end skin care product and have not found a moisturizing cream like this one. I like it a lot because it does not leave a greasiness on my skin and makes it look really healthy. Although if your skin needs a lot of moisture, I would not recommend this cream.

Here goes one more week lovelies.

Hello Lovelies,

I am back after quite a while, I haven't really had the time to work on my blog recently. Therefore I am only writing a new post now. As in a few weeks it is Christmas and I get into Christmas mood the day after Halloween it seemed like the perfect time for a christmas wishlist. Of course this is only a wishlist and I do not expect to receive those particular gifts because they are quite pricey.

Let's get straight into it.

First item on my list: a watch, I used to have a swatch but got bored of it so I wanted a new watch similar to Daniel Wellington's watch. I have a few models that I quite like:
-first of all the Daniel Wellington Classic St Mews 36 mm.

I found the watch really simplistic which is a look I was really looking for, the rose gold is a plus of course.

- second watch I found is a watch by a german brand called Kapten & Son the model I fell in love with is the Campina Brown Leather.
The models are all quite similar and this one is no difference although I really like the logo of Kapten & Son the anchor is really pretty.

- my third watch is no different than the other two, on the other hand it is the least expensive watch of them all. It is a watch by Cluse called La Boheme Rose Gold White/Brown.
It is still very similar and I found this watch more simplistic than the others, the brand's name on the dial is a bit too obtrusive which is disappointing as it is a really pretty watch.

- Last model of watch is an Olivia Burton, the price isn't excessive and I really liked the color of the strap. It is called the Midi Dial Tan & Gold.
It is also very simplistic and I really like the roman numbers on the dial.

Second item on my list is a pair of sunglasses by Ray Ban. The model Clubmaster has always attracted me I really liked the retro look they would give to someone wearing them, but I had bought already two pairs of Wayfarer and felt like I should wait a bit before buying more. Therefore now was the perfect time. I really liked the classic Clubmaster in the Havane color.

Third on my list is a bag. I never really had a proper leather handbag and felt like, nearing 17 years old, it would be the perfect moment to ask for a leather bag. I did not really know which style I would want to have but the Adele bag from Lancaster was a pure beauty. I therefore asked for a bag that resembled the Adele from Lancaster. Obviously not the Lancaster as it costs about 230$.
I really like the nude color of this bag and the fact that it has a handle as well as a shoulder strap.

Fourth item on my wishlist is the perfume Black Opium by the one and only Yves Saint Laurent. I really liked the scent about a year ago, I hope I still enjoy the smell and I am crazy for perfumes so I'd be more than happy with on more perfume.

Fifth items are foundations. I have wanted these two foundations ever since they came out. One of them is the Revlon PhotoReady Insta-Fix and the second on is the  Maybelline New York SuperStay Better Skin. I really want to try them out and maybe to a little review of them. The only problem is they aren't available yet in Qatar which makes the closing of the skin tone a lot harder than usual.


Last items on my list are also make up related and are eyeliners. I am not really looking for a particular brand as I don't believe that branding is important in eyeliner because I use them so rarely that they all seem amazing to me. However I am looking for particular colors. First of all nude colors, I have wanted to try them on for a really long time and now felt like the perfect occasion to ask for them, also a purple color and a charcoal type of color as well as a green. As you may have noticed I have decided to go all out with the colors.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my wishlist and do not hesitate to comment your wish lists as well as give me ideas to add to my wishlist.

Love, Elise xx




Hello Lovelies,

For my first post I thought they would be no better thing to talk about then books. Books are a few pages joined together that you read and that take you in adventures. I remember the first book I have ever read of my own free will : Paper Town. It was a simple book by John Green that changed my whole view on these sheets of paper. I ended up reading all of John Green's book from The Fault In Our Stars to Looking For Alaska. 

Books make you feel less lonely in times of sadness and loneliness. Books take you on magical rides across a country, a universe, something you have always wanted to discover. You see the world with a different eye when you find this book that changes your whole point of view. 

My first favorite book is a series I read on wattpad. My best friend sent me a message telling me all about the series that got her addicted. The series is called After, a fanfiction with Harry Styles as the main caracter of the book. I read the first book in a weekend and when came the time I had to go to school and I was left hanging. Anna Todd was and will still be the queen of cliff hangers. 

My second favorite book is a book that changed my vision on everything., the book is called 'We all looked up'. The book is not only a book about sci-fi but is a book that will allow you to reflect on your life. The ending is beautifuly well written leaving you the place to think about how you want the ending to be. P.S.: do not read the name of the chapters it will you spoil you the whole book.

The third book is 'We were liars'. No explanations are needed this book blow your mind by the end of it.

The fourth book is a book entitled 'How To Love'. A book based on flashbacks between a woman's life before and after him. A sweet book to enjoy by the beach during summer.

My fifth favorite book can be no other than 'Things we know by heart' a sweet book about love, about grieving and about letting people in. The book is beautiful and you will want to hug your boyfriend, fiance, husband after this book and never let them go.

Hope you enkoyed this post it took me ahile to write it but I will soon be back with more posts.

Love, Elise xx
