I am going with Chanel beauty
to Paris !
I think I broke my toe, it's blue and it's like throbbing pain
This sophisticated lady put mouthwash on her face because I thought it was a serum...
Okay you guys, I'm on my way to the airport, I'm going to Paris you may ask why am I going to Paris?
And this is the most exciting part of it all :
I am going with Chanel beauty
to Paris ... !!
They invited me to be part of their press trip
We're gonna go discover what is Chanel skincare is all about.
This is probably like biggest
career moment for me right now
Guys I'm wearing all red -
*Probably should have brushed my teeth though Coz I can feel it*
Ok I won't be talking to anybody Coz I don't speak French Although I'll try Well oui? (Will we?)
So Prettyy
We're finally here, we were in traffic for like two hours.
Today there's nothing going on in the itinerary and it's still like it's 11 a.m. So I have the whole day
I think I'm just gonna take a shower first brush my teeth. Grab some coffee and go walk around. Wish me luck.
So cute
Oh. Creepy..
but cute...
but creepy.
Ooh, I miss these little courtyards. They only have it in Europe
Ooh my God you guys... Silence
Oh my god, oh!
Hey girl Hey It's on my ceiling.
Let me tell you what I'm doing here
So Chanel beauty has put together a press trip for like ten influencers from like different countries
that are coming here to basically learn more about the Chanel skincare, especially the Hydra line
Which is the products that I've been using they're gonna take us to the labs where they make the skincare, which is so amazing
I feel so honored and I feel so excited
I dreamed about working with Chanel since I was like 10 years old
I'm just happy. I'm just happy and thankful and I'm gonna fall asleep with the camera on
No sleeping. Okay, I'm gonna go take a shower to wake myself up
Ah, I'm gonna go meet my girlfriend who moved to Paris and had babies. She just had her second baby boy
We are meeting for lunch, which is awesome because that way I get to eat and to see my girlfriends
So this is everything I packed for Paris
I just looked at the itinerary again
and I've noticed that I brought too much
daytime stuff not enough evening stuff because I have only one daytime activity, but then I have like two dinners
But I'll figure it out. Okay ready to go
! Is that her?
So happy, oh my god, you're so French, look how cute this car is
Yeah, we will okay, so we're walking down the street and there's all these beautiful shops and I don't need anything. Did you hear Gary?
I don't need anything. I don't want to buy anything. I'm just like messing around with the sellers. They keep bringing me sizes
I'm not gonna buy anything. Hah!
You know what?
I was talking to a friend of mine
And I was telling her how I'm like not suffering but like you remember I told you where it's like I'm a grown up now
And I just feel like there's this
Suffering inside of me. It's just like oh my god. You should do something about him. Like no, I like it
It's like part of life. I feel like these Russian Jewish roots, you know, we're brought up
in like if you're not suffering, you're not doing it, right?
Like life has to be a little
painful. Yeah
But that's, you know, that's why French were such great artists because they were just always miserable. Yeah, and out of misery comes creativity
It's hard to create when you're happy
So many...
revelations
...so much wisdom is dropping right now in the middle of Paris
I was legit meant to be French and I was just born in the wrong country
So I'm trying to understand how the French system works so I can adapt you know
Just walked into the room and I see this, favorite packages to get ever!
Ooh how cuute
There's like, a bunch of letters.
Oh, this is the treatment that I'm doing tomorrow at the Ritz.
This is a really thick invitation
I am going to the famous Chanel Spa at the Ritz where they give their like specialty facials
So the reason why there's a Chanel Spa at the Ritz is because Coco Chanel was actually living at the Ritz so it's kind of fitting.
And then I have
This amazing thing
So the Hydra Beauty line is virtually kind of like a great entry point to the skincare, like if you're in your 20s,
or even like early 30s, this is
amazing product to boost hydration and to make sure that you're taking care of your skin properly
Then I have a headband
Cute.
Oh I have it in black and they gave it to me like
Okay, I'm dying for this bag, cute little toiletry bag
So tomorrow we're gonna start our experience
We're gonna have some welcome cocktail hour and I think dinner together. I'm super excited for that.
Today I am going to experience a Chanel Spa at the Ritz
which I'm really excited about but that's only gonna happen at around 4:00 p.m
Right now it's 11:00, so I have the whole day.
I'm just gonna go grab some coffee, some croissant and just walk around and do what I do best :
Nothing.
Fun fact I was in Paris maybe like 15 times and I've never been to the Eiffel Tower. It's the weirdest thing
I like never do any of the tourist attraction. I find it like my favorite thing to do is just walk
I'm just walking everywhere. I don't know where I'll end up. I don't know where I'm going. I'm heading nowhere,
and I love that
That's how I tour the city. That's how I feel the culture
We're on a quest for the perfect Eiffel Tower pic, and it's not working in our favor
Content creation I tell you, not for the weak or the lazy.
Okayy, this is the moment I was waiting for
I'm getting to check out the Ritz Hotel spa to get their
signature Chanel treatment
I also wanna note before she comes back that
This sophisticated lady put mouthwash on her face because I thought it was a serum...
and I washed my face with like a shaving cream.
Because they're very fancy here and everything is like available in the bathroom. So -
I don't know -
Anyways, just be careful next time you see a blue looking liquid. It's not for your face.
Okay, so I am post-treatment. My skin feels like it needed this hydration so bad.
Now after the treatment, we're doing a little makeup moment
So these are a few of the things that we'll use, which is perfect because we're actually going for
a welcome cocktail with the Chanel team after this, so I'll be already ready to go
so for the hydration she used all the Hydra Beauty line
She did the micro gel, the micro serum, and the Camellia water cream,
and this baby that I carry all the time. It's like an upgraded version of the rose water basically
The spa experience
Was amazing. She did a really good job [Alice?]
I was wondering if I need to wear like heels and stuff
But I really just want to feel comfortable and enjoy my time
rather than thinking about the heels and how uncomfortable I am in them
so...
Let's go!
Okay, so now we are going to
Chez George - I tried to explain the facial lady today where we're going, and I was like George chess
she's like, "Umm, no I don't know any of that"
So first there's this foie gras, I love how they brought it's literally just like
Put it on a plate, this is your toast, enjoy life.
I love it.
Today is our busiest day so far
We are going to the labs for the Chanel skincare. They're showing us how everything is made
Which is super cool.
Okay, so we are done our tour at the laboratories. it was so cool to learn so much
I got like so much knowledge right now
On our way to a yoga class that Chanel arranged for us.
The whole kind of idea of their skincare is to approach beauty holistically
So it's about body mind spirit. So now we are taking care of the body, and hopefully [I won't puke my lunch]
We were supposed to go to the Jardins, Jardin exhibit
and then we have the dinner with everybody because tomorrow we're leaving
and I got ready
But I got my toe like right into the chair.
Oouh
And now I'm in so much pain, I put like the heel on and it's killing me.
Okay, I decided heels because this is my last night here. Just wanna look nice you know,
I'm trying not to think about it. And, it's all!
I ended up not being able to wear heels. I tried to wear them
I walked down the street for like two minutes and I was dying...so
Sneakers. Yes
Okay, we are going to our dinner with the rest of the team. I'm limping,
so, that's hot. Hopefully it's not broken, which is fine. Actually...no, I'm not even gonna say it
I'm not gonna put it out there to the world.
It's good
Let's go eat
Okay, I came back to the room
I think I broke my toe like literally broke it. It's blue and it's like throbbing pain. So that's done for me...
But it's all good. Tomorrow. We have one last activity that we actually were supposed to do today, but the weather was really bad
We're gonna go to the Jardins, Jardin
There's an exhibit there with Chanel, so I'm really excited for that
And then we're gonna stop at the Chanel boutique just to see what's up. And then we are off to the airport
Going back home!
My God I Hope it's not gonna get worse tomorrow
Okay, last day in Paris. I am still limping, but I have a feeling that I didn't broke my toe
Just cuz I feel like it would hurt much more, but, I don't want to jinx it. I've might broken it...
I don't know - don't listen to me
Oh my god, the smell you guys!
So pretty
Look at this, there's like drops of water on it. This is art.
This is how Gary looks at me
We have to stop by the establishment
I just want to tell you guys that I just walked away from a really good deal of amazing shoes
And I'm so proud of myself, and I need to leave the store really quickly before I change my mind
Let's go! Let's go!
I just packed my suitcase,
Changed to my sweatpants
and I'm ready to head back home.
There were so many moments throughout this trip that, I was like really in the moment and I was just
so grateful and thankful to be part of this. There were literally times where I was like about to cry,
the hormones were like in full effect.
Thank you Chanel for having me!
I'm just so in love with this country and city and I can't wait to be back and...
time to go home to my babies.
