Links I Love Week 25
June 21 is Fête de la Musique in France. I have been lucky to be in France for the last two years for this event. I was in Antibes for one year and Nice the following year. It is a fun celebration and the cities are so lively. Read about where to celebrate in Paris here and you can celebrate at home with your own party and playlist.
This week was mixed with good news and bad news. I will save the good news for later next week when I can share, the bad news is that virus cases are up in Florida and they are now the new epicenter.

I love Sisley mascara and their eye pencils are SO easy to use. They come in a bunch of fun colors that you can change up depending on your mood.
