» ALL IT TAKES IS WHITE PAINT
You know how a new hair color can make you feel like you're on top of the world? You should definitely try painting your walls! Oh my God - it's such a relief!
Partly because my walls were hideously covered with floral wallpaper (not hating on my florals, but I'm sick of it!). And because I felt like I needed change - more like longed for it actually. I mean, it actually feels like I've painted over my life - the bad bits about it (acting all oh-so-dramatic). Please tell me you know what I'm ranting about!
Fifty coats later, I'm extremely satisfied with my wall and can go on vacation with a happy slate. Well, I still need to put in my furniture and get some other things sorted out, but that's another story.

» JARDIN DU TAKI
I woke up at six thinking that I started working at seven. Turns out I work at two today. FML?
But I've been hanging out in the jardin all morning, and I'm in love with the weather!
Let's hope that the sun keeps shining all summer long - or what's left of it anyways.
Now I'm gonna enjoy what feels like a mini vacation before I have to get ready for work.

» FROM A TWENTY-TO-BE
A very edited photo I took on a plane.
Your twenties are for traveling, a lot.
Your twenties are for switching jobs, changing majors - just because you can (or adding another major).
Your twenties shoud be careless (within limits).
Your twenties are for seeking adventures and letting them seek you too.
Your twenties are for making mistakes..
..and learning from them.
Your twenties are for asking questions - tons.
Your twenties are for experimenting with your hair - even if it turns orange.
Your twenties are for raising your voice - finding it and expressing yourself with it.
Your twenties are for dreaming a lot - dream big or go home!
Your twenties are for splurging.
Your twenties are for wardrobe changes - change it up, often.
Your twenties are for being selfish.
Your twenties are for loving yourself - because you're worth it.
Your twenties are for watching full seasons (and reading books) in a couple days and wonder what to do next.
Your twenties are for valuing your family, and friends.
Your twenties are for succeeding.
Your twenties are for failing.
Your twenties are for finding a meaning with your life.
Your twenties are for defining yourself with your own self perceptions.
Your twenties are for learning all the hard lessons.
Your twenties are for working hard.
Your twenties are for growing up.
Your twenties are for taking responsibility.
One day you'll love your twenties for what they were.
