Maybe I should make it a rule to post once every two months because that’s pretty much what I’ve been doing! I have several exciting bits of news to share with you all.

NUMERO 1:
Yesterday was Sunday the 31st of Octobe a.k.a Halloween. However, my friends and I decided to celebrate halloween the Friday before and man did we have a BLAST. This year the big bash was at my house and boy did the halloween theme make a difference. This year the girls and I decided to go head-to-head with the boys in a halloween contest! It was super fun brainstorming ideas. Box of Crayons, Evil female villains in Disney movies and even Spice Girls. In the end, we came up with an ingenious idea. We’d dress up as the boys themselves. I believe this was the most fun halloween I’ve had in years. We made this a sort of runway show with music accompaniment that reflects the personalities of each person. As well we finished off each person with a tag line! This is a great idea for anyone who wants to have a hoot and a half at a halloween party between friends! Guaranteed many inside jokes to be had by all.

On top of that genius costume idea (girl’s won, btw), we had a pumpkin carving contest! Two pumpkins for the girls and two for the guys. I think it’s safe to say the GIRLS took this one home. But I have to give the guys some props for their “themed but unoriginal designs”.

NUMERO 2:
Bought a new camera (Panasonic LX5) for myself in preparation for surprise NUMERO 3. The LX5 apparently does very well in low-light. I’ve only taken a few shots with it so far and I still need to buy a case for it, but I’m super excited to give this a whirl in a place that isn’t my messy room!

My wallet definitely feels a lot lighter but it is well worth it! I still have to play around and learn all the functions but thanks to my photographer friend (@djjacreative) I will be a pro in time for…

NUMERO 3:
PARIS. AHH I’M GOING TO PARIS! This is the reason why I splurged on buying a camera…In two weeks, I will be taking glorious photos of Paris landscapes! I’m going to be there for a weeks time and drop by London for a day as well. Everyone who is looking to go on trips on a budget check out Travel Zoo and sign up for their weekly Top 20 Deals!

C’est une belle journée.

And with that, I shall leave you with this inspirational video of Jason Mraz playing a song with a woman on the streets of Paris.
