For Christmas last year, my then-boyfriend gave me a Kitten Gift Card. One day when we lived together, that kitten gift card could be redeemed for a real live kitten, he said.

There is a wave of inspiration going on in social media. People blogging, tweeting, making videos, talking about their inspiring story..

Yesterday I went to Champs-Elysse, which my friends told me was the most beautiful street in the world. However, there was a 2 day farmers event going on and Champs-Elysse was filled with trees, plants and farmers booths, as well as crammed pack with people. While we were there, I went into Laduree, the most [...]

Enjoyed the evening at my favorite place in the world, Trocadero, watching the Eiffel Tower light up at night with Bastien.
