Dinner and a show at the iconic @moulinrougeofficiel thanks to @carom.app ✨ what better way to meet new people than to get all dressed up and dine together at one of Paris’s most iconic locations? Truly a bucket list experience! Download @carom.app for even more cool/exclusive experiences with fellow young professionals in Paris, Dubai, London or New York- it’s a great way to make friends! 💃🏻 (watch to the end for a quick glimpse at one of the servers wanting to make his Instagram debut - his smile was so charming I had to include it)

Skincare girlies, this one’s for you! I’m a huge fan of @biologique_recherche, as many of you know, so when @les_soins_de_diane reached out and asked if I wanted to experience her signature Lift & Sculpt facial combined with a Biologique Recherche treatment, you can imagine how quickly I said yes 🧖‍♀️ lymphatic drainage and moon face are things I definitely struggle with due to my hormonal issues, and her technique is based around drainage to give an instantly lifted effect. Combined with the BR products she chose to best suit my skin, it was an hour and a half of pure bliss. Book now, thank me later (and don’t forget to mention I sent you)!

As @the.eye.news and I wandered through the sun-dr

As @the.eye.news and I wandered through the sun-drenched streets of Marseille’s old town, we happened across one that I recognized from a past trip where I had attempted to take a nice photo of the bougainvillea covering the wall at the end. This time, however, something else caught our eye: the quotes written on paper tacked onto flowerpots and stepstools, left out to be discovered by passersby. We took our time reading each one, marveling how someone had taken the time to write them all out. We were almost done when I realized this was something I would want to share with you all, so I pulled out my phone to grab little clips of some of my favorites. Which one speaks to you the most?

📍Rue Beauregard, 13002 Marseille

About Me

Hi, I'm Emily! Storyteller and endlessly curious, I love to travel but I also love getting to know the heart of a city. Since 2014, I've called Paris home and have learned the ins and outs of the city, as well as exploring around Europe. Here I share my favorite discoveries, expat and visitor advice, and photo diaries from my travels.
