2021 .... a bigger challenge than 2020

 Hi Friends :)


2021 was kinda a difficult year for me... both physically and mentally

It basically made me regret 2020... and its lockdowns

The year started with me getting the diagnosis of fibromyalgia

"Fibromyalgia is a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain accompanied by fatigue, sleep, memory and mood issues. Researchers believe that fibromyalgia amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain and spinal cord process painful and nonpainful signals."

 I was therefore put on sick leave from mid-January until March.
In March, I came back to work but in therapeuthic half-time
My days were basically displayed in work in the morning and treatment in the hospital in the afternoon.

In May I went in my family in Lorraine as I haven't since them since 2019..

Little did I know things will get worse...

My grandad passed away June 15th 2021... I am very happy that I was able to see him in May but also very sad and devastated.
He went in heaven to rejoin the love of his life, my grandma Yvette, who passed at the same date in 2013.
Rest in Peace, Robert Louis PEDRAZZINI


After that, I went into depression and was back again on sick leave until mid August.

September 2021: We went on Holiday with Jérome to cheer me up a bit. We decided to stay in France this year.
We enjoyed 10 days at the Pierre et Vacances of Moliets and Maa.
We also visited for the first time for me, Biarritz and Bayonne.




On our way back to Paris, we stopped in Jérôme's family near Nérac 



This getaway of 3 weeks in total helped a lot with my mental health and my depression but I was not cured.... Of course, grief doen't go away easily

The end of the year was meant to be a happy time as Jérôme and I will soon have our own place... but again 2021 was not going to let me be happy as things started to get messed up... But that's a story for beginning of 2022

To end this on a positive note, we got snow for the end of the year!

My Make-Up Routine! Spring/Summer 2017 edition

Image
Hi Friends :) One of my most requested posts is my everyday makeup routine. The only reason I didn't do an update sooner is because I very rarely switch it up! In fact you will notice a whole lot of similarities in this one with  my last makeup routine post  in the techniques I use. It changed slightly a little after then when I purchased a new eyeshadow palette and it has remained the same up until now! I am a creature of habit and when I find something I like, I tend to stick with that. So this is how I apply my makeup every single day.  This is my face without makeup. As you can see I have a lot of blemishes, under-eye circles, pretty fair eyebrows when they're not filled in, and my skin lacks a lot of colour! This is how I look after applying my everyday face! Much better :) I normally go for a natural smokey eye, bronzer, some peachy pink blush and a nude lip. Here are the products I used and how I did it: The conten

Moving to Tainan!

Image
Hi Friends :) Here's what I've done during my first week in Taiwan! After a nice dinner (that I forgot to show you last time so here it is) and a great night of sleep in my hotel room.... ....February 8th 2017, I left Taoyuan and the airport to finally reached what will be my home for the next 6 months: Tainan. To go from one city to another, I took a fast train call HSR (high speed rail) Once I was in Tainan, a friend came to pick me up and drive me and my mess #suitcases to my dorm. I choose to live in one of the dorm of the school because #1: it's cheaper  #2: the school is so big that leaving outside campus will mean that I need 10 more minutes to go to class and #3: spending less on accommodation mean that I can spend this money on travel :)  I'm on the 11th floor of a building that is only for female (no men allowed haha).  I share my room with someone else. Her name is Winnie, she is Taiwanese and very nice. :) L
