</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
More like minty/Apple-y actually... Grape doesn't actually look that way here in France but I do love the name of it, don't you? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I ordered this nail polish together with a few others on mbeautylounge.com on May 5th and received my order on May 29th so that's about 3 weeks if you don't count all the May bank holidays that we had this year. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I paid 5.70$ for this O.P.I nail polish so I really couldn't not get it as in France, O.P.I polishes cost more than 15€ each!<br />
<br /></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">After putting the first coat on my nail, I wasn't really convinced by this shade and a bit disappointed. It looked very sheer when I thought it was opaque and a lot more creamy. I kept applying it though and after the 3rd coat -even though I hate polishes that need more than 2 coats to look opaque on the nail - I actually started loving the color. </span></div>

Here are the product that I used to do my Gargantuan Green Grape nails. I absolutely love the Sally Hansen Insta-Dri Top Coat, it does dry your nail nearly instantly!<br />
<br />
<u><i>My overall opinion on this O.P.I shade:</i></u> After 3 coats, the color looks really great and I really love it. Though I really don't like, as I already said, polishes that need 3 coats to look opaque on my nails. But I think I can live with that cause the color looks amazing.<br />
<br />
I would also love to try Navigate Her by Essie and Hey! Get in Lime by O.P.I as I would love to have a greener polish than this one to actually go with my new ballerina shoes.<br />

As I mentioned in my previous post, I was going to receive some more beauty boxes and so I did last week before leaving for London for a 3-day trip to my favorite city. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<li>Biosilk - hair serum (that I also received in the Glossybox but I don't mind as I am already in love with this product)</li>
<li>Le French Touch - Lipstick by Lancôme (this is a limited edition which is sold for 29,90€ at Sephora! Such a great surprise to receive such a fancy product) </li>
<li>Phytojoba - Shampoo for dry hair (I won't be using it as I don't have dry hair at all) </li>
<li>Moisturising body Serum by Boots </li>

Have you ever heard of Beauty Boxes?! A few weeks ago, I had no idea those existed and a friend of mine posted a picture on Facebook of a box she had just received and this is how I discovered this concept which apparently arrived in France in June last year so it's actually old news for everyone but me :] </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
After visiting a first website and looking around blogs, I discovered that there were more than just one brand of beauty boxes so I decided to to try some of them out (understand here that I ended up subscribing to all of them). </div>

The concept is simple. Every month, you receive a box with about 5 beauty products in travel sizes (sometimes full size) from different cosmetic brands (usually high quality and expensive ones). The subscription price varies from one box to the other but it's more or less around 10-15€. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I am quite happy with this first box - to be honest I had already spent all weekend reading blogs and I already knew more or less what I would receive so it wasn't much of a surprise. I'll try to not do this next time but it's really tempting when you know some people have already received their box. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tomorrow I will get another box from "Ma boîte à beauté" so I might also show you what's in there if you're interested. In the meantime, I would really love to hear about your experience with beauty boxes and whether they exist or not in your country. </div>

Do you know what is the best part of private Sales?! When you order the product and see you have more than 50% of discount on the product, you're all excited and then time passes and you forget about your order because private sales always take weeks to be dispatched... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
And then out of the blue you receive a package and you're like "I haven't ordered anything recently"... and this is when you realize "OMG! My Zalando order!!!" and for me, this is the best part! </div>

So here are my new shoes for the summer. I am already in love with them. I got them for 25€ instead of 49,90€ so it's a really great deal, don't you think? </div>

Apart from my beautiful shoes that I got this morning, my mailbox has been empty for the last 2 weeks but I won't complain as I know this is all my fault as I haven't been writing a lot lately but I'm planning on doing a bit of writing this morning and maybe tomorrow. So, if you're waiting for a letter from me, please be patient. </div>

<i>This one if from the Etsy Store Vintage Tag... I was a bit disappointed by the shopping experience as she made me pay more than 10$ of shipping fees and even though I asked her if she could lower her fees a bit, she didn't answer my message. As you can see on the envelope, we are far from the 10$ that I pay her for shipping the package. </i></div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This week I receive a few packages - I actually got 2 of them today as I had to go to the post office earlier this morning to pick them up. Thus, I decided to make a special Package Mail Day =]</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first package I received was from one of my dearest penpal in Germany. Inside this package were a notebook and a CD. </div>

<i>Here is a picture of the first page of the notebook :) </i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My penpal had the greatest idea and we decided to make a "100 questions' notebook project". Each of us writes down 100 questions that they want to ask the other in a notebook and send it out to the other. I have sent her mine and she sent me hers so now what I have to do is decorate the notebook, answer the questions, illustrate my answers... I now have to unleash my inner creativity! I will also be doing this project with my sweet Twinnie. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If any of you feel like they would love to participate in such a project with me, let me know! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I will post pictures of the notebook I'm filling in at the moment when it's all done and my penpal has received it. I don't want to post any spoilers! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Then, today, I went to the post office to pick up 2 packages. One, I was certain of what it was, the 2nd one, I wasn't sure but when I saw the little bow, I knew exactly where it was coming from! </div>

This very cute package comes from England, from a fellow Blogger who has 2 amazing blogs. Visit her at: <a href="http://makemineamailday.blogspot.com/">Make my Day</a> She actually totally made my day. A while ago, I won an amazing salt & pepper set in one of her giveaways and that's what's in the package. But, what I didn't know is that I also was chosen to receive some amazing ATCs that she created --> <a href="http://makemineamailday.blogspot.com/2012/02/make-my-day-turn-back-hands-of-time-or.html">Have a look at her blog post! </a> This was a complete surprise to me. </div>

The other package was some make-up that I had ordered last weekend. I needed a new foundation and a new powder so I asked for recommendation to a friend and she told me the Healthy Mix from Bourjois would be perfect for me and I have tried it already and it indeed is perfect! Plus, it smells so nice! </div>

This one will be different as it's not a real update of all the letters that I have received in those months that I wasn't posting on my blog.<br />
<br />
I will show you a picture of the letters that I recently received and are waiting for an answer. If you have sent me a letter and you can't see your letter in this picture, there might be a few reasons to this:<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>I haven't received your letter yet</li>
<li>Your letter is already answered and you haven't received it yet</li>
<li>I'm currently answering your letter</li>
<li>I don't know who you are and I don't know why there should be a letter from you on this post *lol* </li>
</ol>

Sustainability is a word that often comes in Companies speech and is part of every big company's commitment to making Earth a better place.<br />
<br />
Would you like to adopt a bee? I have adopted mine this morning and her name is <i>Lilly Bee</i>.<br />
I think this is a funny way to promote a great cause and show your support to a great voluntary organization.<br />
<br />
You too can help save lives and build a sustainable future for inhabitants of Uganda. For each bee adopted, SAP will give money to Hives Saves Lives Africa.<br />

As you may have noticed, I haven't been updating my blog in the last 2 weeks. I'm really sorry as I know some of you are really missing some of my posts, especially the Mail Day Monday ;) Well, I'm not giving up on it, I have just been really busy lately and trying to get used to my new life.<br />
<br />
I have to organize things differently and it's taking me a bit of time to figure out how to do as many things as I used to in a very limited amount of time. But I'm still pretty confident that I'll find my way into it and I'll be back to blogging in NO time ;)<br />
<br />
You should read me again very soon my dear followers!<br />

New life, new schedule, new organization. As I don't know if I'll find the time tomorrow to post what was in my mailbox, I am doing it today so that you don't miss it.<br />

So, what did I find in my mailbox this week?<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I will try to make this not too long as I don't want to bore you with some philosophic/psychologic questions but still, I think this is a very interesting subject to discuss. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of my penpals asked me 2 questions recently about my relationships to my penpals and the way I write to them. When I started answering her, I felt like it was a really good subject to talk about and felt like I wanted to go deeper in my answers. Thus, I decided to bring up the subject on my blog between a Mail Day and a Music Day. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Her first question was <i>(sorry B. if I'm changing some words): </i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"><b>Do you feel like you have the same kind of relationship with all of your penpals? </b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well, that's a very interesting question indeed. At first, you might be tempted to say "Yes of course, they are all dear friends of mine" but if you think about it, even with your real life friends, your relationship to each one of them is different. Every person is different and with that comes the fact that every relationship is different. With some people you can be joking all the time, as well as talking about more serious subjects and with others, it might be more about emotions, how you feel, what you think about a certain situation or moment in your life. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apart from the fact that you have known a person longer than another - let's just consider that you have met all of your penpals on the same day so there is no time issue - the relationship will be based on the first words you said and the first subjects you talked about. If you made a joke when you first contacted someone and the person was very receptive then you might use more jokes in the future with that person when on the other side you started with the music subject with someone else, then your relationship might be based on more artistic values. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To me, every relationship had to be different because we are all different and put in pairs, we create a whole new world together. Having different relationships doesn't mean you love one person more than the other, it means you're so rich with relationship experiences that your heart is full of smiles and emotions. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I would really love to have your opinion on this subject so do not hesitate to share it with me and the other readers in this Bubbly World. I would totally agree that you disagree with me :) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I know I said there were 2 questions, but I'll save the second one for another post. Who knows? Wednesday might become a philosophy/psychology day ;)</div>Pink Bubblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06709709957627847101noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937725723499240704.post-41269970738110723642011-10-31T07:32:00.000-07:002011-10-31T07:33:40.243-07:00Happy Mailbox =]I was spoiled with letters this week.

Do you listen to the radio? Do you ask friends for music advice? Do you get inspired by music in films or TV Shows? Do you go to music store and listen to music there? Do you read magazines?<br />
<br />
There are lots of ways to discover new music to listen to... I have to admit that my main sources of new music are TV Shows. The soundtrack in most show is always so inspiring in my opinion. So today, for the 3rd episode of <i>Thursday's music</i>, I am going to introduce you to an artist that I discovered of one of the new promising TV Shows that I love watching.<br />
<br />

<br />
Today's artist is <i>Darius Rucker</i> with his album "Charleston, SC 1966". I discovered Darius' music in the show <i>Hart of Dixie</i>. I immediately fell in love with his voice and his country/rock music with an ounce of R'n'B.<br />
<br />
I think the only way to present Darius is to feature an extract of his album so here it goes... Please, listen to <i>This, </i>the song that made me discover this amazing artist.<br />

Even though I'm a very sarcastic person, I do laugh at most stupid jokes. Like we say in France, I am a very good audience ;)<br />
<br />
Do you want to know what makes me laugh the most at the moment? Well, I am going to tell you anyway as it has to be shared with the whole world.<br />
<br />
There's this new show on CBS which started a few weeks ago. It's about 2 waitresses who work in a dinner in Brooklyn. Both of them are broke and decided to save money to open up their own cupcake business. The scenarists of this show are definitely amazing. I don't know how they managed to put so many jokes in a 20-minute episode - jokes that are actually funny.<br />
<br />

<br />
There isn't an episode which hasn't made me laugh yet so I thought I should really share this with you. You definitely should check out this show called <i>2 broke girls</i> if you haven't done so yet.<br />
<br />
Here is a video preview which I hope will make you want to see more of it...<br />

For those of you who already know me, you probably know that rugby is always a big part of my weekends... For the others, well, I love rugby.<br />
<br />
I know Rugby isn't famous or of interest in every country so I won't bore you with the game's rules. No, instead I have a better game to present you... <i>(be patient)</i><br />

The 2 teams involved in the Final today were France and -to my opinion- the best team in the World - the New Zealand All Blacks. France lost to one little point, 7-8... But this is not the point of my post. </div>
<br />
Rugby has lots of "hotties" within its rows so today the game isn't about who was the strongest on the field but who is going to win in the we-have-the-hottest-player game.<br />
<br />
Let me introduce you to my 2 favorite players in the World... And thankfully one of them happens to be French and the other is from New-Zealand: how convenient!<br />

I have received a pretty good feedback on last week's album so I hope you're going to like the 2nd one that I am going to introduce right now.<br />
<br />
Today, we are not traveling to the USA but staying in Europe as we also have some pretty amazing artists around here. So, where do you think I'm taking you?<br />
Well, we are taking the Thalys from Paris and going straight to Jacques Brel's homeland: Belgium.<br />
<br />
Today's artist is Jonathan Vandenbroeck, who you might know better under the name of... Milow.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://cdn.loomee-tv.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Milow-Cover-North-And-South.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://cdn.loomee-tv.de/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Milow-Cover-North-And-South.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Does the name Milow ring a bell to any of you? You might have heard his cover version of <a href="http://youtu.be/DE9IchvpOPk">"Ayo Technology"</a> which was a huge success, not only in Europe but in the entire world. His latest album, <i>North and South</i>, was released at the end of the summer and as soon as it was out, I had to have it and so I did.<br />
<br />
Milow has an enchanting voice which directly uplifts you into his own universe. His music is a mix of pop and folk with lots of acoustic guitar, just like I love it. The songs of his fourth album are a musical journey that I will never stop taking. Milow is a talented musician, writer and singer who I hope is going to make you travel as much as he makes me do.<br />
<br />
My favorite song from his new album is <i>Move to town</i>. This song reflects in the best way why one would want to leave the constant stress of the city to enjoy the quietness and warmth of small towns... so, who wants to move to town?<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/g0_q0cLJITo" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
If you want to listen to more of his songs and buy all of his albums, you can find him on iTunes: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/fr/artist/milow/id195672629">Milow</a>.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this 2nd episode of Thursday's music and I'm now letting you dream while listening to Milow's charming voice...<br />
<br />

I have always loved listening to music (and playing it as well but that's one of my secret) and as far as I can remember, I have always had music punctuating every step of my life. Every memory of my life, good or bad, is linked to a special song or artist and every time I hear this special sound or voice, the memory comes back to me.<br />
<br />
So let's start with the first episode of "Thursday's music"... Today, I want to share with you a very special album which was released last week by a very special band that I have loved for years.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzfe8hYPngcBB1CVvSC8LguctJfZlK8c3OmAkG3e__DfajnNDdOYoZaCkM0Z9Uy2VDNmjKktzwLROsV3N3HCwIxE94H4id7p7qE486LIYxBgQwFX-iZkFiaodwPfN5WD83iHbwQ9fF8Pp/s1600/Jacks-Mannequin-People-and-Things.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqzfe8hYPngcBB1CVvSC8LguctJfZlK8c3OmAkG3e__DfajnNDdOYoZaCkM0Z9Uy2VDNmjKktzwLROsV3N3HCwIxE94H4id7p7qE486LIYxBgQwFX-iZkFiaodwPfN5WD83iHbwQ9fF8Pp/s320/Jacks-Mannequin-People-and-Things.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Here you have the cover of Jack's Mannequin new album: "People and Things" // Has anybody listened to their new album? No disappointment on my part, this album is as good as the previous one and maybe even better. I discovered Jack's Mannequin in One Tree Hill a few years ago when their song "The Mixed Tape" was featured in one of the episodes in Season 3 and I completely fell in love with Andrew McMahon's voice.<br />
<br />
If you don't know or have never heard any music by Jack's Mannequin, here is an extract of their new album which totally reflects their greatness when it comes to music...<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/P6GQbHLmt8I" width="420"></iframe><br />
<br />
If like me, you love their music, you can find all their music on iTunes by following this link: <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/artist/jacks-mannequin/id74214170">Jack's Mannequin - Music.</a><br />
<br />
Like I said before, every memory of my life is linked to some special music - well, Jack's mannequin does bring lots of memory back to life, especially the beginning of 2008 - me, my car and the ocean in La Rochelle and later that year it was me, my car and Luxembourg... and it also makes me think of 2 special persons, one of them has often been sat next to me in my car while listening to Jack's mannequin's music and the other one, who will hopefully recognize herself is a dear friend of mine who also share the love that I have for this awesome band. Jack's mannequin only brings back good memories to me!<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed this first episode of "Thursday's music". If you have any artist or album you would like to be featured in this section, do not hesitate to message me or leave a comment on this post.

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">How many letters can you see on those pictures? Yeah, you're right, 11 letters. It's a pretty good amount in only 2 weeks, I don't usually receive that many letters but as I have been very active in the penpalling world recently, well letters come to me in a bigger amount. </span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">So, where did all those letters come from? Well, from 9 different countries! USA, Italy, Ireland, The Netherlands, Belgium, UK, Croatia, Germany and Spain. </span></div>

Well it's the start of new seasons and the opportunity to discover new shows. </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span">One of these new shows is... Ringer. Also know as Sarah Michelle Gellar's come back on TV. Ringer's premiere was yesterday night on the CW. I had been waiting for it for quite a while now as the trailer was kind of intriguing so it was with lots of excitement that I woke up this morning to finally watch the serie's premiere. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">At first, I found a lot of similarities to another show that recently started on ABC Family called "The Lying Game" (based on Sara Shepard's new series). Two sisters, twins, one takes the place of the other and discovers what kind of life her sister had, she finds out she had a lover, etc. You have to wait until the last second of the episode to realize there's actually nothing in common with both shows. The storyline is way different and seems to actually be well-thought on the Ringer's side. This is a very promising show and I am already looking forward to watching next week's episode. </span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span">Apparently, Sara Michelle Gellar is back! and there's no vampires in sight.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /></span></div></div><iframe width="375" height="230" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/NS4tx6RrvNI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>Pink Bubblehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06709709957627847101noreply@blogger.com0
