For years I had seen photos from the tops of Paris. For some reason I had only ever stayed sea level and below and never fully experienced Paris from above. I had been told of numerous different spots to see Paris from a few stories up but never took advantage of it. This past trip to Paris I decided to take full advantage of one of these known spots – The Galeries Lafayette. The Galeries Lafayette as a building is something to see. The gilded walls and blue tile dome are enough to make the trip and the crowds worth it but it is their rooftop terrace that really seals the deal. Accompanied with an 180 degree view, comfy seating, a cafe and a restaurant you are sure to spend quite a bit of time up there. Oh, and did I forget to mention the views? They are incredible! The Eiffel Tower, Champs Elyse, and Montmartre are all easy to see. All you need to do is grab a drink, a seat, and get your camera ready! This is a Paris must!

Codage Moisturizing Nourishing Radiance mask
I discovered Codage on my last trip to Paris. I was wondering a side street and happened upon a store that looked really cool. I was instantly intrigued. After popping in and learning about the brand I knew I had to try a few products. This mask was one of the items I picked up and thank goodness I did. It has been a travel life saver. My skin gets really dry from travel so applying this mask at night completely nourished and rehydrated it. I bought the travel size and have used it numerous times since getting back from Paris. Every time I do I am reminded at what magic it works!
Codage Créme du Nuit
Codage night creme has also been amazing. I used to think I needed to cake on lots of thick cream at night for my skin to be rehydrated and reginerated by morning but this cream is very light and only takes a small dot to get the desired results. It goes into your skin quickly and works so well. I wake up feeling like my face underwent a hydration facial.
Codage Hydration Intense Serum n°01
People swear by serums. They absolutely love them. But I had yet to try them and after trying these two I don’t know what took me so long. The Intense Hydration is something I use morning and night. It is a very light serum that works wonders. I apply it with the night creme and wake up feeling so refreshed. I even asked for more for Christmas. I am now a serum junkie!
Codage Eclat & Energie Serum n°03
I also apply this one morning and night. I find this one gives my skin more of a glow and makes it look “alive”. It is like it restores all the minerals your skin loses and gets it back to looking tight, smooth, radiant, and hydrated. And the best part, one drop is all you need so it lasts a while!
Moroccanoil Dry Shampoo
HOLY hair changer! My friend Krystal introduced me to this dry shampoo and it has changed the game. It comes in light and dark which is great for me as it leaves your hair/roots looking a little more refreshed. I also love the texture it adds to my locks. I use it everyday and go through a bottle every two weeks. It is great for styling or for making your hair last days without a wash.
Buly 1803 Pommade Virginale
We have heard my obsession for Buly 1803 in this post. I love their products so much and now won’t travel without one in my bag. They offer the best moisture and they smell so divine. I have this one for my day face moisturizer but have used it for my hands and body when I am in need. It is light and effective, which is exactly what I like for daily use!
