hours eastern standard time so we're just casually starting our day off with a loop trip right into the tulley gardens right now moya who is a youtuber is actually going to meet up with us which is super fun you all excited yeah i'm so excited greetings from blue we're about to head in we're in this little courtyard area i'm super excited we've been to musee gustav novel but this is like our first time at the leave i want to come here multiple times and do like a little artist date but right now i'm here with gabby and ashley which is gonna be so lovely moy is gonna join us as well she dm'd me like a couple weeks ago and she's like i'm coming to paris she's like would you want to do a spontaneous trip which is like my favorite thing in the world but it fell through last minute so instead i think she's going to crash with us for a night or two which will be fun so we're doing today cannot believe we're here i'm in awe and i'm so excited to see some beautiful art definitely will show you guys my favorites it's gonna be beautiful thank you you ever come to the louvre just know the reality is this line a little chaotic look who it is how's it going ah i feel so awkward on other people's noses i'm so small like i think there's an actual fit i'm flat too i wanna basically the shoes i'm supposed to right now so here we are you're a little irish child i love it is it yours yes oh you're filming oh sorry no don't worry wait till you see how small i am compared to atlanta i feel like the angle is oh my gosh i can't even like reach you what was your favorite painting of the day wrapped in medusa oh yeah i just can't believe it i know like definitely i don't really like know that many internet people it's always so funny in person i'm like oh my god you're like you're like a special person this is what we're staring at behind us are you kidding me hey ladies how are we doing this is the reality behind the scenes on weekdays we literally live in like a hermit cave mode they essentially work 3 p.m to 11 p.m and then i just join them because i usually work nine to five and that way we can hang out in the morning and then we're just here monday through friday until the wee hours of the night just doing our message like anyone needs some coffee at uh like 10 pm but hey look at the views you know right no complaints good morning good morning we're just going for a little morning stroll taking some photos getting some coffee keep meeting the most beautiful subscribers i've met at least like one every day from france and other parts of europe and they're literally this this is so nice you guys are making like a week oh my gosh so kind we just met bella do you think that was best way to start the day now we're trying to find some coffee but i would know how it feels it's time for our introverted walk this probably is not revolutionary to most of you but at the same time there might be some of you guys out there we are like oh i never do that but i realize in new york i'm either working on my computer i take a break from my computer and that usually involves social media honestly and i just like scroll on instagram constantly listen to music and i'm constantly around people or friends i feel like this is a case for a lot of people it's like we don't want to be alone with our thoughts that's the most important thing to do to for one get to understand yourself get to know yourself better two come up with creative new ideas and new ways of thinking and thoughts and perspectives letting your mind wander holds so much power that i take for granted i don't do nearly enough in new york and i've started doing it now more here where i try to go on walks alone and not listen to music and just think sometimes i'll get myself a prompt before i leave to do along the walk the time when i was like damn girl you need to do this more is what i was getting and was basically staring at the ground for an hour the places my mind went and the creative ideas i had just in that hour i was like what what have i been doing why do i fill my mind with so much gunk every goddamn day and i never give myself a second to let it simmer and then see what arises from that gum this is why like shower thoughts car thoughts can be so profound is because you're like well can't be my phone in theory you could chat with somebody you could listen to music i think why this massage was especially powerful as i was just staring at the ground and there was no sound and i couldn't be distracted even by like people watching be like oh that girl's shirt is cute we're like oh that billboard is interesting it was just me in my brain how rarely do we do that even meditation which is extremely powerful is like all about not thinking so i'm trying to do that more obviously i'm about to kind of walk where there'll be plenty of distractions and beautiful people to look at but i am just trying to clear that side away that is what ultimately allows me to be more creative and i want to kind of see what comes up so i encourage you do the same so on that note let's go walk along the scene here's my outfit for anyone who might care i'm literally wearing the same thing basically every goddamn day black coat aritzia uncle studios turtleneck like the wannabe parisian gal i am vagabond boots 87 jeans under 50 earrings literally that's it y'all let's go let's go process i think i'm gonna like explore other parts of paris i'm sorry how do you not just keep coming back to beautiful walks along the sun with the eiffel tower in the distance like i can't go anywhere else this does not get old maybe if i tell you that i love you maybe late night dinner we're going to the spot called oni-san but actually a subscriber we've been on the street recommended what type of cuisine is it do y'all remember japanese we're all very tired yeah we're like describe how you feel when we like are working late at night well it's super disorienting because we wake up not too late and live like kind of a full day and then we start working and begin another full day yeah and it's really confusing to wind down it's well at the start it's so worth it it's just confusing definitely good morning how's it going it's not even morning it's like 12 o'clock it's saturday hello last night was super cute my is actually crashing with us for two days so she's sleeping in there but we went out with all the friends and some new friends we've made we got sushi dinner and then bopped around like a couple bars ended up at like a club which was a lot a clear claire was making me feel so old but now we all have the day off but we haven't really taken any slow days yet i'm just like journaling at a coffee shop feel like either like working all day or like museum event like doing it all so i've been craving just having a little journal and a little reading a little coffee shop so badly so we're finally gonna do that today and then maybe a little vintage shopping i'm excited it's a gloomy day so i don't feel the sunshine fomo of like having to walk 10 miles throughout every park like i normally would so this is good how are you feeling today she's feeling cold but not too hungover how are you feeling today hold reflective how's moya feeling today she's been limping a little off my lip she brushed her foot and i lost my camera i'm feeling good happy guys here you are all right i'm wearing a borrowed shirt i actually i'm wearing some gap jeans because they're only jeans tall enough for my long ass yes and then a lot of my so much jewelry both pieces are made by or my grandmother's or vivian westwood gabby hello everyone jacket walter baker top intermix jeans forget they'll also forget boots are on williams hair elimination i don't know like rhythm okay oh we both so yeah a night out okay cheers good morning on my morning run and this is the view do good morning from what is this showdown i actually don't remember the name of this park but this is where the cafe could see coffee is which is kind of basic if you're coming to paris but at the same time they have really good iced coffees and lattes the american and me just can't always do espresso so here with gabby and ashley we figured we'd start our monday morning off they're right there i just journaled like five pages i feel like i've done so much processing since being here since i'm kind of removed from the hustle and bustle of new york i feel like when i'm in new york i'm constantly going to events and going out there's just so much going on and so much to do or it's here it's like taking things a bit slower sightseeing still having to work quite a bit which is like reading music and just so much processing reflecting which is so nice especially as i like this new age we're in our third week we started no way first day of the third week last day of saturday we just had a beautiful morning journaling by the fountain having coffee delightful the temps are dropping but we're bungled are we snuggling yes don't the reality of work from home in paris she made it all what's in this again maybe i'll get it on camera it's potato and lake nice and simple cozy homey
