March 2018: The Recap + Favorites

Hi guys! Life hasn’t been super exciting lately but I decided to get my stuff together and write this month’s recap to look back on the few things that happened and things I’ve enjoyed.

I updated the theme of my blog – I guess it was about time, my last theme was on for ages and there were some bugs that I was a bit lazy to fix, so I bought and customized one this time. Next time I try to code a WP theme, I’ll make sure to have a better knowledge of PHP first…

I’m exercising again – I subscribed to a gym memebership this month. I try to go every week at least just to keep myself in shape and not look like I’m going to die when I run to catch a bus! Sor far, I’ve been mainly doing cardio and I want to try out weights but I feel intimidated although I know it’s stupid and nodoby’s watching…

I attended Salon du Livre 2018 – It’s the biggest bookfair of the country I didn’t get to do as much as I wanted to though, since I went there with classmates to do some research for a group project on Ebooks. We had really interesting exchanges with professionals and it was enjoyable.

I had to leave right after we were done with our research since I was meeting my friend Mélodie who came to Paris to work at a tourism fair which was right next to the book fair. After a long walk, we had slices of delicious vegan pizza at Hank Pizza! It’s a place I would definitely recommend if you happen to stop by Paris, the staff is nice and English-speaking too. They also have a burger restaurant named Hank Burger.

I started reading a new book – I felt self-conscious about reading again since the bookfair and tried to encourage myself to read books. Recently, I started reading Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World.

It’s a good book (although some things grossed me out) and I can’t believe how a book that was published in the 30s like this one is still relevant today.

I started a new Bullet Journal – My life has been a mess lately in terms of organization so I’m trying to stop the laisser-aller !! I will post about my setup and spreads later 🙂

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 10 – RuPaul’s Drag Race is a US TV drag queen contest and it has definitely been my latest obsession! I binge watched seasons 6 to 9 in February, since they were available on Netflix France…

I watched with French subtitles at first but they were inconsistent between the episodes so I ended up turning them off. They helped me a bit in understanding drag queen lingo though. I was really unfamiliar with this world (or it’s maybe because I’m French, I don’t know) and it was a bit hard to get what this or that word meant sometimes.

The show been going on for a decade now, with Season 10 currently airing since last week and I feel like the level just goes up a notch in every season, it’s amazing! I love the creativity of every queen and what they bring to the show!

I’m going to see the RuPaul’s Drag Race WERQ THE WORLD TOUR show in June with my friend Julia. I’m so happy they added a new date for Paris because the first show was sold out before we even heard about it !

Nailed It – I happened to stumble upon this show while browsing Netflix’s homepage and anything related to food catches my attention so I ended up watching the first episode of Nailed It. It’s basically a baking competition in which 3 inexperienced bakers must reproduce a beautiful and complicated cakes or baking goods.

The results are hilarious and I live for the host Nicole Byer, she’s so funny! I love the whole mood of this show.

There are only 6 episodes for season one, so it’s pretty quick to binge watch if you want something short. The show has been renewed for a second season and I can’t wait to watch it!!
