tis the season.

ROSEMARY ESSENTIAL OIL

Winter is just a few weeks away and that means I just used Cyber Monday as an excuse to stock up on lots and lots of layers.

It's also a really trying time for my hair with all the dryness that comes around with the season, so i'm making a few changes to my beauty routine as well.

This year, i'll be dropping some of this baby into my shampoo.

Rosemary Essential Oil has a ton of benefits like healing my dry scalp and helping my hair grow Rapunzel long.

At twenty-six, I can also never remember anything so the fact that it improves memory is for sure an added bonus.

Besides smelling absolutely amazing, Maple Holistics creates this product a hundo percent natural and cruelty-free.

The other really amazing thing about this brand though is that they offer a free samples program.
So if there's a product your thinking of buying, but aren't ready to commit (we've all been there) you can try it out for starters!

It's Friday and I'm tired. I'm lounging in a café in Berlin drinking an awful flat white and wasting away some time until my partner in crime is ready to explore the city again. I've watched the morning go from Sunny to cloudy to Rainy. We've been traveling through Europe together the past two weeks and having a blast and I am nearly ready to go home brought on by the solemn feeling of Berlin and it's history and just the thought of how I want to get bringing my 100-lb seeming backpack through two flights home over with. I'm starting to miss my other friends, my job and most importantly my bed. But I still have two full days left and I'll be damned if I'm going to miss out on Berlin because I can't get out of this headspace. So I'm writing this down so that I can put it out of mind, and enjoy the time I have left in Europe. After all is said and done and I'm set back into the daily routine of Brooklyn, I'll be wishing I was here in a cafe in Berlin waiting for my friend to come down and drag me out into the rain.

LONDON, ENGLAND

AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS

PARIS, FRANCE

BERLIN, GERMANY

I just got back from a trip to Europe and it's taken me a while to get this post up just because it feels so strange that the trip is over. It wasn't one that I planned carefully a year ahead with fine detail and a good idea about how it would go, but rather booked a couple months in advance with a rough outline. I think that's what made it the most enjoyable trip I've been on. Aside from my travel buddy who I will be forever bonded with now.

We started in London and then moved on to Paris, stopped in Amsterdam and ended in Berlin. Each city was so beautiful in its own way, each had its own personality we found even reflected in the photos from place to place. 

I really enjoyed going at a time where there were fewer tourists and more foliage, though we ran into construction because of the fact. We were on the true twenty-something tour since we refused to spend money on museums and instead took it to the stores. We also took planes instead of trains in a roundabout way because it was cheaper and stayed in various different housing situations, all unique in their own way. We spent more time eating dinner than we did looking at art and we stumbled into some problems because of lack of being prepared but I honestly wouldn't have it any other way. 

We went to a concert in London, drank plenty of champagne in Paris (once in front of the Eiffel Tower), rode bikes in Amsterdam and hung out in coffee shops in Berlin. After all is said and done, I truly felt the culture of each city which was really what the whole trip was about. 

And now that I'm back I feel out of order, like my true place in life is galavanting around European streets.
