Going to Paris was an amazing experience, and nothing says Paris like stripes! 

I don't know why that is, but I had to wear stripes with a pop of red while in Paris (and red lips too)!

Sitting by the Eiffel Tower was magical. I never thought I would find myself there. I have seen pictures and have learned about the Eiffel Tower in art classes.

And oh my. It is huge and beautiful! I loved it! 

I still can't speak a word of French, unfortunately. Maybe one day I'll learn it! :)

Travel Diary: ENGLAND

 I had such an amazing time in England. It is one of my favorite memories ever, and I miss London already!

Everything about London is lovely. The buildings, the people, and the scenery. I fell in love and left some of my heart there. I hope to go back someday! 

This is more of a photo diary than anything else. Pictures speak louder than words, and every one of these pictures holds some of the best memories for me. 

What's your London? Where have you visited that you fell absolutely in love with? I'd love to know!

Travel Diary: Cemeteries of London

"God is in the houses and God is in my head
And all the cemeteries in London
I see God come in my garden, but I don't know what he said
For my heart it wasn't open
Not open"

 As we strolled through London one day we came across a park. An unusual park.

Because it was a cemetery.

Well, technically it was a park, but it was a cemetery first, and when it became overpopulated it was turned into a park. So there are tombs and gravestones everywhere!

It's one of the coolest and creepiest places I have ever been. 

There were people sitting on benches and dogs running around. Just a normal park to everyone else.

But it's not everyday you see gravestones lining the walls of a park you happened to stumble upon.

Fergie Wet N' Wild Velvet Matte Lip Colors Review

 I'm a big fan of Wet N' Wild! The only product from the Fergie collection I've tried is the eyeshadow Primer and I absolutely love it, so I thought I'd give another product a try.

I picked up two colors from the Velvet Matte Lip Colors, and I'm a bit disappointed. 

They are matte and they are colors, so that's a great description! But they are not pigmented at all. I have to put on lots of layers and it's still kind of patchy.

And they broke.

They both broke! The whole stick came right off. I just shoved them back in and I'm hoping that works because I don't want to feel like I wasted my money.

I do really love the colors. That's what drew me to them in the first place. Plumgenue is one of my favorite lip colors, so I have been wearing it a lot but I wish it was more pigmented.

The color 'The Stand Out' would make a great spring color.

And Plumgenue is a great everyday color, but I'm not a big fan of these. 

I've found that putting lip gloss over the top has really helped them to look better, though. 

I'd love to hear other opinions if you guys have tried them out.
