5 Good Habits I've Picked Up During Quarantine

Quarantine hasn't been all bad. Granted I've missed shopping trips and seeing friends, but I've come to thoroughly enjoy being at home, making the most of what we have and being thankful for every single moment spent together, watching a show or trying out a new recipe. With quarantine, a few things naturally changed for me and I've ended up picking up a few habits which in my opinion have done a lot of good for my well-being, both physically and mentally and I wanted to share these with you today. Let me know if you can relate to any!

What I've Been Wearing During Quarantine

I'd be lying if I said I've worn anything but loose-fitting clothing ever since quarantine started, and who can blame me. Working from home for almost 2 months now has meant one thing and one thing only, comfort. When I think of comfort the last thing I want to be wearing for 10 hours of work are jeans, tight-fitting work wear (which I've always disliked anyway), and anything that reveals the amount of baking and eating I'm guilty of. Wanting to pick things up once again here in the blog and create content once more, Femme Luxe's email came at the perfect time! I hope you have all missed me as much as I have missed you!

3 Things I Really Dislike About Paris

I've been to Paris not once, not twice but 3 times now and I'd like to think I know the city well enough by now. First two times I visited it was during a rather cold wet winter season. This time round, Paris in July was a very last-minute trip for us. My family was visiting from Brazil for my brother's wedding and my 14-year old cousin begged us to take her to Disneyland given they were already halfway across the globe and Paris was just "there", as she put it. With her 15th birthday coming up, I decided to grant her wish as an early birthday present so we all went. Spending 3 days in Paris reminded me of the things I love about this city but it also highlighted things I did not quite enjoy (to put it lightly). We often read "What you must see in Paris" articles but well, here are a few things no one is talking about enough.

Coral Bridesmaid Outfit: What I Wore To My Brother's Wedding

You've read that right. My little brother who I swear just graduated from university has gotten married. It all happened in the beautiful (albeit too hot) town of Elvas, Portugal a couple of weeks ago. The weather forecast for the day: 38 degrees celsius, the task: to find a bridesmaid worthy outfit that wouldn't suffocate me or give me heatstroke. Glad to report it all ended well and I thought I'd share some shots from the outfit I wore and details about each piece, especially because they were all amazing finds!
