my first time in Paris 💌

[Music] set your skin exist long [Music] fore P for [Music] [Applause] [Music] this is the view I have dreamed of my whole life for when I come to Paris I have always wanted to be able to see all the buildings and like see into windows and just see like the character I just this view is everything I have ever wanted when I've come here and I can't believe this is real right now so I booked this room and I selected Eiffel Tower view but in the photographs it kind of made it out like I might just see like a power ofice that I wouldn't see much are you joking I can see the whole thing I'm seriously just speechless I don't even know where to start I'm so hungry though so I should probably start with food [Music] [Music] good morning [Music] [Music] so yesterday I got caught in the rain in the evening I was hiding under like a restaurant awning for like 20 minutes but I just couldn't wait any longer so I had to run back to the H but my hair is not looking too great after that so I'm going to style it yesterday when I got caught in the rain and I was running back to my hotel I was absolutely soaking wet and I ran past these three older French women and I knew they were French they just had that like genesa but they had umbrellas and we as I was running past them they started smiling and laughing and so did I and we were just laughing together at me running in the rain but it just reminded me how much like how Universal laughter is like no matter what language you speak if you're laughing oh I love being reminded of things like that I cannot believe I've woken up in Paris today I'm sorry if I keep saying how excited I am or how crazy this is because it is crazy to me I have talked about going to Paris since I was 16 years old and I'm now 24 and I'm finally here it's just incredible but I'm getting ready for the day the sun is kind of out it's cloudy but it's sunny too based on yesterday I'm nervous about what to wear because the weather app never said anything about rain yesterday and I checked my phone while it was lashing rain and it still said nothing about rain and I was like that's not helpful but today I just want to walk I want to explore I just want to have a nosy around I'm saving some of the bigger stuff for when my mom comes my mom arrives tomorrow night so we have Saturday Sunday Monday together so I'm going to save some of the bigger things for those days but I think for today I'm currently in the 6th by the way so Paris is lay it out in different r& D SWS is what they're called but I am in the sixth R&D SW which is kind of at the Latin quarter I'm very close to notr Dam I'm close to Cafe defur I am close to the gardens to Luxembourg as well a few other things I'm very very Central but it's such a beautiful area as well so I really recommend staying here so today I'm probably just going to walk and I'll walk right over to the Eiffel Tower which is in the 7th um I'll obviously have a good look at the Eiffel Tower cuz I've never seen it in person before I don't want to overwhelm myself and I'm definitely somebody that likes to just go with the flow with this stuff so yeah we should see but for now I'm getting ready and I'm going to listen to some jazz [Music] do do do do [Music] [Music] do [Music] foreign for [Music] [Music] d [Music] [Music] it is currently Friday and my mom joins me today here in Paris she's coming later tonight I also just checked in to our Airbnb I left my gorgeous Hotel I really want to make this trip special for my mom she used to work here for a year when she was younger before she had us and Paris holds such a fond place in her heart so I want to make it very special this is her first time back in like 30 years I think so yeah I got a gorgeous apartment I'm going to tell you guys way more about that Des when I get back but for now I'm going to do a little bit of [Music] [Music] shopping hello everyone how are you all it is currently Friday evening I'm about to start getting ready for my mom to come I'm going to go to the shop grab some bits and pieces but first I want to show you guys the apartment that I'm staying in so you guys saw I stayed in the most beautiful hotel the last two nights but I knew when my mom was coming I wanted us to have an apartment have a little bit more space together and kind of live that like oh my God imagine we lived here kind of Vibes my mom lived in Paris for I think a year when she was probably around my age but when I tell you I associate Paris with my mom so much because it's just somewhere she has so much love for and admiration for and she just Ador Paris I'm so happy to be able to bring her on this like part of the trip with me as well I just really want to spoil her rotten and hopefully she enjoys her time here so I wanted to get a really lovely apartment and oh my God oh my God this is apartment is everything I could have dreamed of and more this is like my dream Parisian apartment and I'm going to give you the coolest fact ever when I'm done showing you around because I thought this apartment couldn't get any better until I found this information out okay so let me show you so this is right when you come in you have this lovely little entrance way and here is the living room sorry I've got some stuff kind of lying around we've got this gorgeous couch TV bookshelves lovely over here is like the bar area a gorgeous chair so this apartment is actually so big they've kind of like cut it in half so you could have kept going into this part there's a door behind here let me show you see so it's like a one big apartment turned into two so yeah this is the like bar kind of living area it's so cozy and so cute and then we come into the kitchen the kitchen is insane for prising apartment this is such a big kitchen and this is one of the best parts we have the [Music] balcony this apartment is on such a gorgeous quiet street which is insane because you're in the heart of Paris but it just doesn't feel like this it's just incredible let me come back inside [Music] again this is the kitchen it feels kind of like French Countryside but we're in the middle of Paris which is crazy and then down here you have the bedrooms so this is the first bedroom this is the one I'm going to be sleeping in I have never slept in a mattress on the floor like this before but it looks so cozy and inviting so I'm very excited for that I just love all the details like the door this is stunning then we come to the very very beautiful bathroom are you joking it is so so pretty in here I honestly was lost for words when the guy was taking me around here we have a mirror with some gorgeous framed drawings or paintings and then in here is the main bedroom let me turn on some lights hold on I need to figure out the [Music] lighting so yeah this is the main bedroom this is where my mom's going to sleep I love it so much and I just think my mom is going to be obsessed with this place my mom and I are literally best friends and we're so similar in so many ways and one thing that we love and like we share our love for together is Interiors she's given me that love and that like excitement for just making a place a home and I think she's going to love it here but yes I wanted to tell you guys this cool insane fact that that has freaked me out so much like I was saying I wanted to pick an apartment that would be my personal like dream apartment and this is the one that I felt like most connected to I found it on Airbnb and it was brand new it had no reviews but the people that were hosting it were like one of those companies that owned a few so I kind of trusted it and I felt confident enough to to book it and I got here today the guy was so lovely and we were chatting and he was like oh by the way the woman who owned this apartment she was named after or the birken bag was named after her and I literally stopped and I said do you mean Jane burken he was like yes yes Jane Burkin in case you don't know this is Jane Burkin Jane Burkin is a French icon a fashion icon she was an actress she was just one of these incredibly cool women that had multiple talents and she just slayed them like she's so iconic and she passed away I think it was last year maybe so I was go smacked when he said this and he said also you're the first person to stay in it so I was shocked I was like this is so cool this is amazing and then I wanted to fact check and Google so I Googled it she was very very private in her latter years of life but based on articles I found it said that the last place she lived in Paris and the description they gave of the apartment and the area it was in was this apartment I us straight away that it was this because it said it was between the church that's right here and the gardens to Luxembourg which is right there on on the little side street so it was like okay this is this is the one they're talking about and I'm sure it was so to these people that now have it and it's been kind of done up since but I I'm just like I'm still in shock about it I think it's just so incredible I feel like I feel like I have I've just given myself so much credit for my taste and my choice because I was picking for weeks and weeks and weeks trying to find an apartment and the fact that I picked this one means I have the same taste as Jane burin so I'm feeling kind of proud of myself but yeah what an incredible incredible honor to be in the place she called home I mean this is just such an honor to have such an incredible icon be the person who owns this place but yeah thought that was an incredible fact I'm feeling very honored to be here I'm going to get myself some food and head out and grab some stuff for my mom coming I want to get some water some drinks and some snacks it's a little bit chillier today in Paris so I'm wearing some tracksuit bottoms and a hoodie I'm also wearing these shoes these are one of two pairs of shoes I brought on this trip and I love them so much they're so fun I get in such a habit of wearing like the same things over and over again so I wanted to break that pattern with my shoes I've worn it the same two shoes for like the last year so I'm really enjoying these they're very fun [Music] oh Melle you look so good Melle how does it feel to be back in P [Music] mamelle work it it work it [Music] [Music] h [Music] la I [Music] [Music] hello everyone it is currently Sunday morning I had the most lovely first day with my mom yesterday well it was my mom's first day we did 20,000 steps lots of walking lots of yummy food it was brilliant speaking of yummy food we are now about to go and get some breakfast we had the most incredible crossant and cinnamon roll in bread and Roses it's in the sixth it's just off Garden de luxenbourg and it is stunning we cannot recommend it enough I had a cross on there the first morning I was here and then yesterday when I went with my mom we got fresh orange juice and a cinnamon roll and it was to die for it was so good I can't recommend it enough but it's a little bit chillier today so I'm wearing a jumper and trousers and it's gray outside it's probably going to rain but that ain't going to get me down [Music] good things come to those who wait that's what they say but I've been waiting far too long for some good to come my way it's always one step forward two steps back but I won't let it get me down cuz I'm still here and I know this year some Good's going to come around somewhere the sun is shining somewhere the day is new there's a place where flowers bloom where every bird is singing their tune and someday oh someday I'll be there [Music] to good things come to those who wait and I don't mean to sound cliche but I'll keep waiting as long as I need for some good to come my way [Music] we got caught in the rain so I have to fix my hair [Music] that [Music] time wo [Applause] [Music] it is now the evening time and we are walking through the garden to Luxembourg I got stung by a wallp earlier it was chaos it was crazy but yeah now we're going for a walk in the garden the luberg which is really close to where we're staying care for me Soo I'm rocking it [Music] [Music] it is currently Monday morning yeah it is Monday morning and I had so a big sleep and quite a big lion there it's about 20 10 and in an hour we are doing something really really cool it is also such a beautiful day outside it's looking like it's going to be the best day weatherwise yet which is so good today is looking really good but yes we're doing something very exciting today we're getting a tour of Paris and we're getting it in a Citron I'm not sure what the name of the car is this is the car that we're getting the tour in it is like such an iconically French car and it happens to be one of my mom's favorite cars when she was younger and she traveled to France to Camp with her family she saw them all the time and just Associates them so much with holidays and being in France so last night we'd seen a few people driving around in them and we kind of put two and two together that there had to be like renting them someone had to be renting the M or it was like some kind of taxi or tour service and we were right it was a tour service so we're getting a 2hour tour around Paris and we're stopping at places like the Eiffel Tower shaniz and the tour guide will give us like some info about them while we're driving around and there's no roof on it so I'm just so excited it feels like something out of like a Lizzy Maguire movie or something to like get a tour in this way anyway that's what we're doing my mom is currently grabbing some breakfast and I am about to get myself ready I'm waking up very puffy here but yes speaking of puffy this is the finger that I got stung by a wall spawn yesterday it's still me like right here and now it's it's pretty swollen we were just having our lunch out on the balcony and I just stood up and like wiped my skirt and Bam a wasp and it the Stinger like stuck in and I was like Mom get it out get it out but we just put it in some vinegar and I was I was fine after a few minutes I still genuinely quite can't I don't have hello words use them I just can't get over this apartment still I'm just like the fact that it was Jane Bin's apartment um yesterday when it started raining on us when we're up in monom um I think I'm pronouncing that in correctly but monart is the like area in Paris that's kind of like up high so you can get a really good view of Paris from up there it's very iconic um it's a very beautiful area however it was incredibly busy it was a Sunday and it was just very very busy very overwhelming my best way of describing how I love to travel is traveling but like acting like a local like I love to just immerse myself in in just regular life here buying groceries going out for food just wandering the streets but monom was very very touristy and it was just quite overwhelming so it was beautiful but just a bit intense and then it started raining so we came back here made lunch and it was fabulous but I'm very excited for a day my whistle a b is [Music] [Music] theond let mear [Music] [Music] don't [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] fore the [Music] [Music] [Music] I'm oh would you Fe I'm [Music] [Music]
