"Be Our Guest" Part 2

I had an amazing time!

"Be Our Guest" Part 2

Last week, I left off talking about day one of my trip to France. This week, the adventure continues as my family and I roam the streets of Paris. We decided to check out one of the infamous malls (an upmarket department store chain, as the French call it in English) in Paris: La Galeries Lafayette. From the outside of this department store or mall, it looks small. But once you stepped inside, it was so huge! Here are a few pictures from the inside of the Galeries Lafayette.

This is a picture of the ceiling of the Galeries Lafayette. The department store opened up in 1912, with a dome in the style of Art Nouveau (which literally translates to 'new art' and is a creative style of international arts mixed together). Because of its view and its sale of famous brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and L'Oréal Paris, the Galeries Lafayette has become one of the famous tourist attractions in Paris.

I was on the fourth floor while I took this photo. As you can see, the department store is huge. With makeup and beauty products on the first floor, going up with women's fashion and men's fashion, and expanding up to brands as mentioned before: It was amazing to see such a huge mall. As a girl who loves beauty and fashion, it was a dream come true to visit this place!

Our next stop was a few blocks down. The Mercedes-Benz store. When I tell you how much I love sportscars, I LOVE SPORTSCARS. It was super exciting and super cool to be in there. At that time, there were so many people that I couldn't explore all of the cars displayed. This car was one of the few that had a clear pathway to view it so I hurried myself over to check this car out and it was amazing.

We kept walking and stumbled upon the actual Louis Vuitton building where both my grandma and her sister wanted to take a picture in front of. This building is actually Headquarters for all Louis Vuitton brand. This place was founded in 1850 by a man named Louis Vuitton, first producing LV brand trunks and then moving onto bags and purses as shown in today's world. During this day, or it seems every single day as I have researched about this place, there are always people standing outside waiting to go in and buy products from headquarters. Same with Galeries Lafayette, there was a long line of people just waiting, some impatiently, to buy the brands of Louis Vuitton.



We had one more stop to go before reaching our final destination, the Eiffel Tower. To get to the Eiffel Tower, we had to cross this huge bridge which was so pretty that my family and I had to stop and take pictures as well. Here are some of the pictures we took from the bridge.

Our final destination that day was the one and only Eiffel Tower, or Tour Eiffel as the French call it! The Tour Eiffel is the tallest structure in Paris and one of the tallest in the world and is the most paid attraction to visit in Paris. Every person you meet, when thinking of Paris, France, will think of the Tour Eiffel. It was listed having the tallest height in the world from 1889 to 1930. That day, it was super crowded, so the lines to go up to the Tour Eiffel were crazy long. My family did not want to wait that long for the tower. Here are a few pictures of the Tour Eiffel.


And as we got closer...

To far again again from the other side, viewing the Tour Eiffel from the Palais de Chaillot.

And thus concluded our adventure for that day. Next week, I will share of my adventures to Mont St. Michel.


Until next time, my friends!

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
