I was so cruelly missing the greenery that once was, that I had to spend some time in a greenhouse. Plants. Foliage. These were some beautiful minutes spent in a place where I was able to bask in sunlight. I even had to take my sweater off, something that hasn't happened since October. I'm telling you, my batteries are fully recharged for one more month of winter, then we'll stop, ok? Here's to Spring!
La verdure me manquait tellement que je suis allée passer un peu de temps dans une serre. Ah, des plantes vertes. C'était quelques belles minutes au milieu de la nature, dans un lieu baigné de soleil. J'ai même dû enlever mon gilet, chose qui n'a pas été faite depuis octobre! Je vous dis, mes batteries sont rechargées. Je peux survivre encore un mois d'hiver et après on arrête, hein? Place au printemps!
What a nice watch right? It's a perfect imitation of the Cartier one. I thought it was high time to have a watch other than my electric blue Swatch. I love it but I find it can be a bit too plastic when I'm more dressed up. What do you think?
Quelle belle montre n'est-ce pas? C'est une parfaite imitation d'une Cartier. Je pensais qu'il était grand temps d'avoir une autre montre que ma bleue électrique Swatch. Je l'aime beaucoup mais, je trouve qu'elle peut faire trop toc avec des tenues plus habillées. Qu'en pensez vous?

If you read our post about the Warby Parker Try-On program, you would understand the title. Their web site was an Eldorado for all sunglasses lovers. I've thought about buying tortoise shell glasses for a while but I've never found the perfect pair, except for these. They're on the pricier side but so chic. Who knows? I might find some similar ones!
Si vous avez lu notre dernier billet sur le "Home Try-On" de Warby Parker, vous comprendrez le titre. Leur site web est un vrai paradis pour toutes les filles qui adorent les lunettes de soleil. Je voulais m'en acheter à écailles de tortues mais, je n'ai jamais trouvé la paire parfaite, sauf celles-ci. Elles sont un peu plus chères mais tellement chic. Qui sait? J'en trouverais des semblables peut être!

Do I dare mention how long this winter was? All New Englanders will agree with me that it was painful. I never thought February could seem longer. I guess the shortest months move the slowest. But now it's April!!!
Semi Fun Fact: every spring my neighbors lawn becomes covered in crocuses (small purple flowers, always the first to bloom around here) and it looks like a purple carpet you just want to lie down in and sleep like a princess surrounded by purple velvet.
It honestly feels like a blessing to have all this snow disappear. I have waited long long weeks for the sun to peak out from behind the gray clouds. Now don't get me wrong, I love winter...that is for the first month, then it gets cold. Like many people I have seasonal depression which means during the winter (or when I get a lack of sunlight for a long period of time) I get unhappy and stressed. Stress leads to frustration, sleepless nights, and bad skin (ugh). The way I attempt to solve this problem is a special lamp called a "Happy Light." It's seriously a light that makes jokes to make you laugh and like tickles you so you become happy. No just kidding - actually a "Happy Lamp" lets off light rays similar to the sun giving your body the illusion that it is outside under the sun. I am not fully sure how it works from a biological sense but I know it works fairly well. The only thing is it is a commitment - 1 to 2 hours in front of it a day, and I'm not so good at that. Anyway I guess the other side to all of that is that when spring finally comes I am extra happy. It can be only 50 degrees out and I seriously will go tan. No joke. The other day it was 53 degrees with no wind and a clear sky and I lay on my porch in shorts and a sports bra reading for 2 hours....it was amazing. Thank god you're here spring I missed you.
