France 2014

Hey guys!

At the end of July my family and I went to France for a week and I thought I'd  do a post sharing some of the pictures I took whilst there.

Whenever we visit France we always stay at my aunt's house, who's balcony view is so pretty! She lives right next to a Church which you can actually barely see in the picture :(

One of the main reasons we went to France was so we can go to Lourdes and visit the beautiful Church that is present there. Although I haven't been to many countries or cities around the world, I am quite sure Lourdes has to be one of my favourite cities ever :) It has such a calm atmosphere and the people there are some of the sweetest I've ever met.

I did not try a variety of food whilst I was there and stuck to chips and chicken baguettes. BUT the baguettes there were sooooo yummy that I could not bring myself to regret not trying other things.

Glimpse of the Church on train journey back to Paris.

Hope you're all doing well!

Take care,

Travel Edition: What's In My Bag?

Hello again guys!

My family and I are off to France tomorrow for a week and I thought I'd write a little about what I'm taking in my backpack. I used to be am kind of obsessed with posts and YouTube videos on what people have in their bags so doing this post is quite exciting for me :)

Ok. Now the backpack I'm taking is not the prettiest or coolest out there but it's big and comfy to wear so that's the one I'm taking. I'm also taking a small messenger bag to use whilst in France as I won't be carrying all the contents of this bag around.

Onto the content of the bag:

 1. eBook

2. Purse

3. Box of jewellery- I just chose a few bracelets and earrings to bring with me and put them into the box my watch came in since I don't have a "jewellery carrier" of any sort.

4. Snacks- I bought a packet of goji berries (I've wanted to try them for a while now) and a packet of trail mix in Tesco so I'm emptied those into the container :)

5. Water bottle

6. Tin :P - This tin contains "girl stuff".

7. Plasters

8. Notebook and pens- I like to have some paper and a pen to hand in case I need to jot something down for future reference.

9. Glasses

10. Tissue

11. Comb and clips

12. Mirror- That's the pink heart shaped item in the picture which I got as a birthday present in year 6- so almost 9 years ago!

13. Hand cream and sanitiser

14. Lip care- that's my little red tin and the Burt's Bee lip balm (I kind of regret buying the shade I did :/ I probably should have gone for something a little darker).

15. PEZ!!!- I'm so excited about finally getting to use my Winnie the Pooh PEZ dispenser thingy. Woohoo! ^^

I want to point out that my mum brings all our passports and tickets so that's why they're not there. 

I'm planning to follow up with a post on things we do in France soon but until then...

Take care,

Santhiya
