Number 33 : Buy a professional eyeshadow kit.

Done! :)

I <3 Sephora. Oh, and I love my new "party" colorful eye shadows!

Number 29 : Own 3 Longchamp bags.

Done!

#1 is a M-sized military green bag...
Spotted!


#2 is a S-sized sand-colored bag...
Spotted!


#3 is a L-size lime green bag...
Spotted!


I have to add that the last bag (lime green one) has become my school bag... EVERYTHING fits in and it's pretty and makes a good contrast with black coats and the "black" skies of Strasbourg!

Number 96 : Get a cellphone in France.

FINALLY, after a month of being here, I got my new brand spanking cellphone.


Yes, I am incredibly happy with it. Yes, it may make me look snobby, but truth is I only use it as a phone and because it cost me 49 euros (75 dollars). And I'm in love.

Number 25 : Shop at a thrift shop.

Even better than a thrift shop, a flea market!

I bought 2 coats for 26 euros (one of them is a Zara one) and a brand new Longchamp bag for 40 euros (regular price : 78 euros)!

And who can forget? I have a "mood ring" I bought for 3 euros that keeps changing colors all the time. SO lovely! Maybe it means I am somewhat bipolar!

So happy with my purchases.

Number 81 : Go running at a french park.



About 2 weeks ago, I went running in the Orangerie park. It is a BEAUTIFUL park and I really loved running around. It's so peaceful it's just amazing!






Number 9 : Visit Strasbourg's cathedral.

Last Saturday, I went to mass and I visited the Cathedral for the first time. The church is just too beautiful, and I'm in love with it.






Number 87 : Get an apartment in France.

Well, you may know we have the most beautiful apartment EVER.



Number 85 : Establish a budget for France.

Obviously, for privacy reasons, I can't post it here, BUT I have made a Excel sheet with all the types of expenses, the budget for every kind and the real amount I have spent in each one. I also list every expense, the amount, the place and the day.

I guess this is also part of moving away from home. You have a budget and you have to stick to it, because at least for me, my parents aren't an ATM and I have a limited amount of money. Of course, if there's an emergency they will send me more money, but normally, I have a certain amount of euros per month.

Number 54 : Decide what's going to be in my suitcase for when I move to France.

That.

And one or two more sweatshirts, and jeans and t-shirt.

And shoes.

Oh COME ON. It's not THAT bad.
