Paris

I am going a little back now to show you what I have been up to. (really not a lot) Over summer I visited Paris - which was as gorgeous as ever. It was a 3 day trip consisting of mostly shopping and eating and of course sight seeing. We stayed at Hotel Joyce which was a lovely little hotel with amazing service. The hotel was less than 5 minutes walk to Saint-Georges metro station which was really convenient.

Unfortunately we didn't manage to get on to the Eiffel Tower as the queue was five hours and as we had already seen it when we were younger, we decided to give it a miss. We did go on a lovely sight seeing bike ride thorugh Paris to make up for it which is definitely a must if you go to Paris.

 Here are some of my pics, I won't bore you with the details except Paris is one of my favourite cities, mainly due to the food and the amazing Pharmaceuticals! We travelled around 45 minutes to visit a pharmacy and it was sooo worth it. If you love skin care then you may as well go to Paris just for the Pharmacies (I actually know a few people who do this and stock up whilst they are there!) but brands such as Bioderma, Vichy, La Roche-Posay, Avibon, Embryolisse (you name it, they have it) are much cheaper. I stocked up on a few of my fave things such as Bioderma cleanser which I have previously blogged about and La Roche-Posay who have great skin-saving masks. Ruth from A Model Reccommends blog has a great review on Embryolisse as well here . Also some of these amazing French products are now stocked at escentual.com so get buying!
