Today marks an entire year since I was offered my internship in Paris and of course, in true Lauren style, it’s got me feeling all mushy and emotional. Not like in a teary way, I’m not really a cryer, but more in an ohmygodwhyisitgoingsofast way (apologies for making you try to figure that out). I’veContinue reading “Hey time, can you just like slow down a bit please”

Oh hello there 2018
HAPPY NEW YEAR FRIENDS as if it is actually 2018 hahahahahahhahahhaha terrifying. A lot of people comment on how pointless the whole idea of new years resolutions are, which I kinda get as there is no real reason why you can’t make an overnight change on any of the other 364 days of the year.Continue reading “Oh hello there 2018”
2017 as a list
Anyone who knows me will have read this title and said ‘this is the most Lauren thing she possibly could have written’, and they are absolutely right. I am a complete and utter list enthusiast and I am not one bit ashamed of it, because for me it works. I stress a lot, and IContinue reading “2017 as a list”
Noël à Paris
Right now I am experiencing a whole lot of festive cheer but also a whole lot of extreme terror because the arrival of Christmas means that I have now been living in France for four months. FOUR WHOLE MONTHS. Literally everyone told me that my time here would go incredibly fast and I definitely didContinue reading “Noël à Paris”
The month that was but wasn’t
On some days the words come and on some days they don’t. I have been writing bits of this post here and there for a few days now, which isn’t something I normally do, but writing about my life recently hasn’t been the same as it usually is. I toyed a lot with even postingContinue reading “The month that was but wasn’t”
All the feels
The other day, I was walking down the Champs-Élysées back to the RER station after an afternoon exploring and I suddenly became very very aware of the fact that I live in Paris. I know what you’re thinking, I’ve been here a whole two months now, surely that would have hit me a little bitContinue reading “All the feels”
Well hello there Autumn
Oh dear lord Paris in Autumn has added a whole new level onto my love for this city. Although, as a Scottish person I wouldn’t even know it were autumn if the leaves weren’t changing colour, since today I was out with no tights on in 25 degree heat. Thinking about what I’ve been upContinue reading “Well hello there Autumn”
Happy Month-iversary Paris
If I could buy you chocolates and an oversized teddybear then I would, because you are an absolute pleasure to be with. I quite genuinely cannot believe that a whole month has passed already, although little french things have already started to rub off on me. Typing this is taking me ages for example becauseContinue reading “Happy Month-iversary Paris”
Week one out of a tonne
Today marks the end of my first full week in France, also the week anniversary of me crying in the middle of the Gare du Nord when my family (brutally) left me there. Those of you who know me will know that I am not a cryer, I was simply overwhelmed. Despite that slight initialContinue reading “Week one out of a tonne”
Bonjour Paris (sounds better if you say it like ‘paree’)
There is an actual thing called ‘Paris Syndrome’, which is when people go to Paris for the first time with sparkly romantic images in their heads, and are severely disappointed with what they find there on arrival. The literal (if Wikipedia is literal) definition is ‘a transient mental disorder exhibited by some individuals when vacationingContinue reading “Bonjour Paris (sounds better if you say it like ‘paree’)”
