Alright, almost one year after my last post, I figured it was about time I explained why I no longer blog here. Why did I slowly start drifting away from this blog? If you wanted an answer, I'm gonna finally give it to you (I'll give you 6 actually):<br />
<br />
<b>Blogging started taking over my life</b><br />
As the blog started growing, and as my photography started improving, everything in my life suddenly revolved around the blog. Whenever I went out, I first had to make sure that I was wearing a nice outfit that I could later share on the blog. Whatever I did, ate, saw, I had to take a picture of to share it at some point either here or on social media.<br />
But it did not just stop there. I also needed to make everything look perfect otherwise why even share it, right? Over time, I started feeling like the blog controlled my life and nothing felt spontaneous anymore.<br />
<br />
<b>Moving, travelling, life happening...</b><br />
<div>
You must be thinking that moving and traveling is an interesting topic to talk about here on the blog, and I totally agree with you on this one. However, as I mentioned just above, the blog ruled my days already and I preferred to take advantage of these life experiences to stop being constantly behind a camera and start living in the moment. I used to <strike>waste</strike> spend a lot of time preparing photo shoots, sorting and editing my pictures and starting over again when I was not satisfied with the result. In the end, I just felt a real urge to let go. Blogging was supposed to be fun but I slowly turned it into a tedious task.<br />
<br /></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<b>The question of the photographer</b></div>
<div>
Talking about traveling: not only did I chose not to blog, I also didn't have any other option actually.</div>
<div>
While I was living in Morocco, my brother (sometimes other family members) was my main photographer. When I started traveling and moving to different countries and continents even, I no longer had that designated person following me everywhere and helping me photograph my outfits. </div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div>
<b>Tired of being the focal point of this blog</b></div>
<div>
And talking of taking pictures of myself, I was honestly so tired of being the focal point here on the blog. Creating photos that make you feel beautiful and having a visual record of yourself that you can look back at and see how you have evolved is the best part. The not-so-cool part though is that without me even realizing I started putting a lot of pressure on myself to look better and only post a picture if I think that I am on my best light on it. I really, really needed disconnect.</div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div>
<b>Freeing myself from the consumerism trap</b></div>
<div>
This one, ladies and gentleman, is a major reason why I decided to stop blogging.</div>
<div>
Think about it: I blogged about fashion and personal style (mainly), creating new content was intrinsically linked to having/buying new clothes. Little by little, I became a victim of this consumer society.</div>
<div>
But besides the fact that I was spending a lot of money on clothes, there is the fact that I grew more and more aware of the issue of sustainability and of how fashion (and fast fashion in my case) was negatively impacting environmental and human resources. I no longer wanted to contribute to that system, I wanted to free myself and it ultimately made me drift away from the blog.</div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b></div>
<div>
<b>The Serial what..?</b></div>
<div>
Sooo this one is easy to understand. As a direct consequence of what is said right above, The Serial Shopper was miles away from who I really was. Clearly, I needed a new identity. I could no longer identify with the one created here. In fact, I went from "serial shopper" to "extreme minimalist" (the ridiculously empty luggage that I took with me on my 5-6 months stays abroad can attest of that). I started feeling the need to get rid of anything superfluous in my life, and that went beyond the mere material tangible things.</div>
<div>
<b><br />
</b> And here is a bonus reason why I stopped blogging: <b>self-sabotage is my hidden talent.</b><br />
Guys this is actually pretty bad and I really need to start working on this aspect of my personality.<br />
Most people I know are scared of failing, I, on the contrary, am scared of succeeding. As crazy and twisted as it might sound, this is actually something that I have witnessed in many areas of my life. If a relationship starts going really well ("too well" I would say), I will freak out and make sure that it doesn't go so well anymore and will then walk away from it. When my blog started getting attention not only from readers but also from brands, I suddenly shut it down and disappeared. Yes, it is twisted and doesn't make any sense, but the underlying reason to this is that I self-censor myself. For a while, I never told any close friends that I had a blog. I didn't want them to think that I am just very full of myself and kind of pretentious (otherwise why would I be taking so many pictures of myself, right?), I didn't want them to think that I am just a "fashion victim" and that I "love shopping" when I actually love fashion. Of course, real friends would understand but think about it: when I started the blog I was 15 or 16, still in high school, and still in that difficult teenage phase of life. Blogging wasn't as common, it wasn't even a thing yet. It is no surprise that I had some level of fear of "what people think". Today I am 23 and soon 24, I have grown so much and accumulated all sorts of personal and professional experiences. My vision of life is completely different and I am slowly getting to that point where I can do what I want without thinking of other people's opinion.<br />

<div>
<br />
With that said, there are still <b>three main reasons why I will certainly start a new blogging adventure</b> someday: first I <u style="font-style: italic;">need</u> to create and let my ideas and thoughts out, second I love to connect with you even though we don't really know each other in real life and lastly, it is great to look back at old posts and realize how I've evolved, grown and improved.<br />
I am actually already working on a <b>new online project</b>. I will make sure to let you guys know when it is ready but for now, I am taking my time and making sure that I will be prepared with the right mindset for it :)</div>

<br />
Hello all,<br />
<br />
A little while ago, and even more so this last year, I have realized that social media does not agree with my lifestyle so much anymore. When I started the blog, it was my little loophole and a platform for self expression. As the years went by, it became more and more important in my life and lost that freedom factor that made it so exciting in its early days. I had the opportunity a couple of times since the launch of the blog to take it from a mere hobby to an actual profesionnal activity. But is it really what I want? No, not for now at least. I like to keep this a place for distraction and fun, a place where I can create and develop my own sense of esthetics and a place where I can share moments and pictures that convey positive emotions. As soon as I become pressured behind my camera, none of that is possible anymore. Add to that the fact that I have been moving quite a lot this past couple of years, and you understand why it has been even harder to keep a regular rythm on the blog.<br />
<br />
I think it would be fair to let you know that this blog is like a (public) diary for me. I do not write on it everyday, but whenever something captures my attention and reaches my heart, I do share it with you.<br />
<br />
In just a couple of days, I will be moving to the United States. It is very exciting for me since I have always wanted to visit this country. No, wait, I DREAMED of living there someday. Soon, this dream will finally come true!<br />
<br />
Thank you to all of you loyal readers for being so present on The Serial Shopper!<br />
We will talk again asap :)<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I was transferring new pictures to my hard drive the other day and found these old ones that I have never showed you for some reason (oh how I miss my short hair). I love wearing this outfit which I find both elegant and confortable. Wearing an all white outfit, or any monochrome outfit for that matter, can get tricky and can turn out boring sometimes. However, there are very easy ways to make a monochrome look work.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are some cool tips and ideas to keep in mind when going for monochrome:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>1/ Play with fabrics</b>: A key way to avoid turning a monochrome outfit into a monotonous one is by mixing fabrics. Try combining satin, coton, leather, silk, wool...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>2/ Mix different shades of the same color</b>: ...50 shades if you wish. It will still be a monochrome look since the colors will not clash but rather blend well together. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>3/ Play with textures</b>: In my outfit here I have solid white and transparent white. It is a very fun way to add playfulness to a monochrome look. You could also do it with cut-outs for example, or pompons or fringes... You name it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>4/ Try prints</b>: Similar to playing with textures. Why not do some tone on tone prints? It is a pretty cool way to add dimension to a look.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>5/ Accessorize</b>: Probably the best way to make your outfit more interesting. There really are no limits with accessories. Anything will work since the monochrome look is like a blank canvas that will make everything stand out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So there you go, five easy steps to making your monochrome outfit more sophisticated and fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Do you have any good advice when it comes to monochrome looks ?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
There was a time when I used to really not understand why some people bought skincare in beauty shops. To me going to Sephora, Mac or other such places was the occasion to buy lipsticks, eyeshadows, blushes... In other words, to buy color! What is the point of buying creams and bath bombs if they are not adding anything to your face, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My opinion completely changed when I discovered asian beauty products. For one thing, the packaging is usually uber cute which makes buying skincare a treat itself. But my urge for buying such products actually started when my skin started breaking out again after being clear for months.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I moved to China, my eating habits (i.e eating out ALL the time) and the air and water pollution have done remarkable damage to my skin. So when I travelled to Hong Kong (pictures coming soon) I decided it was time that I splurge on skincare. Keep reading as I will tell you more about each product.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
While I was walking around the streets of Mong Kok in Hong Kong, I came accross a store which had sales on Korean beauty products. I stepped inside and asked the salesperson to show me renowned skincare treatments. She showed me this little orange box saying it is very good for acne prone skin and for clearing acne scars.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I haven't started using this yet but I think this cream is mainly good for hydrating and moisturizing the skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKj__249ANSKeFIwydsRC0HlpUJENq9aFNnAk_IrXgsdyQz8tTd6y3EmuQm9q778i5MFKR6iWzr8zTUFe2yNDsj1x7FmPMnpq-xjhYk7cgv9Nf3Qd39PTT4sIAbHt7FO6uBKt67lsMOm-/s1600/DSC_0255.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="texture of guérisson 9 complex face cream" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNKj__249ANSKeFIwydsRC0HlpUJENq9aFNnAk_IrXgsdyQz8tTd6y3EmuQm9q778i5MFKR6iWzr8zTUFe2yNDsj1x7FmPMnpq-xjhYk7cgv9Nf3Qd39PTT4sIAbHt7FO6uBKt67lsMOm-/s1600/DSC_0255.jpg" title="texture of guérisson 9 complex face cream" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nevertheless, the texture of this cream is divine and so is the smell. The packaging is very luxurious and well designed. I will keep you posted on my impressions once I start using this on my skin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
At pretty much every corner of every street of Hong Kong (ok maybe not all of them) you will find either Sasa, Watsons or Mannings. Sasa is sort of the Sephora of Hong Kong. I majorly splurged on skin care during one of my visits to the store.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These patches are one of the (many) products that I purchased. They are meant to be used on new pimples (the painful ones) to slowly dry them and reduce their appearence. I have used them a couple of times during my stay in Hong Kong and they did a pretty good job at drying my pimples! Also, they stick very well to the skin (stayed on three days).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Ok so I warned you guys, I went completely overhead with acne products. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is just another pimple drying product with a roll-on applicator. Not convinced much by this one though but at least it smells good.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are thinking asian beauty products, you're inevitably thinking masks!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once again, no surprise, I binge bought a ton of these. From pearl to aloe vera or bamboo or even snail, there are a ton of options to choose from! I cannot wait to try these out! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP04FXr2QwQlCs9bxXXDR4n6sgnZXzfc6hrIz8uVkG4es8X3TNe_ZqEXzdgR79yrsqtYk_uWkAcKshTRRv2ewLsx7D0mdnONMs8CES7hOaq2yymkjv3pkf6SkfevGDCVg5YkJaiy6jcDtv/s1600/7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="japanese charcoal blackhead nose mask" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiP04FXr2QwQlCs9bxXXDR4n6sgnZXzfc6hrIz8uVkG4es8X3TNe_ZqEXzdgR79yrsqtYk_uWkAcKshTRRv2ewLsx7D0mdnONMs8CES7hOaq2yymkjv3pkf6SkfevGDCVg5YkJaiy6jcDtv/s1600/7.jpg" title="japanese charcoal blackhead nose mask" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i> [Left: Sasatine / Right: Miniso]</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I actually purchased the product on the left while I was still in China. You probably can not guess from the picture what these are for but these are nose peel off masks. They work similarly to your classic blackhead patches except these come in a cream consistency which is charcoal infused. They smell surprisingly good, feel very fresh on the skin but take quite some time to dry.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_WuzQ3rv9wvWDuiA0Zl4UnDrWCgvROBPFrekEZjsAvn3Ab9yEUPwBdUNCJtYGHjNbQ2ZZsmXugIk1Iz0OBve6ONGnizFU5_AlzfOWejseHuufy6CK4_eXSmfC4bv6YRm80rZCp9yc_HB/s1600/8.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="thursday plantation tea tree and witch hazel toner" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjK_WuzQ3rv9wvWDuiA0Zl4UnDrWCgvROBPFrekEZjsAvn3Ab9yEUPwBdUNCJtYGHjNbQ2ZZsmXugIk1Iz0OBve6ONGnizFU5_AlzfOWejseHuufy6CK4_eXSmfC4bv6YRm80rZCp9yc_HB/s1600/8.jpg" title="thursday plantation tea tree and witch hazel toner" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>[Left: Miniso / Right: Thursday Plantation at Watsons]</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The mist on the left is designed to tighten your pores after you have used the mask on your blackheads (it comes in the same pack).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The product on the right is not asian. I bought it after I heard so many good reviews on tea tree and witch hazel. It is a really good toner and it smells like a mix of herbs and lemon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0ZIufUd7FdTMCdDSvmFVyWFAj9XdVpdGjJNTwRR9HaVGDnNMQfp6zgtFCpzQba9Cb0rEw-ll4VeOi8pemM7aDF3vOOiOr7s6x7467wLCjKtGRdhXuxKR6OH1QjbNuvCBapzU-yo5TLHx/s1600/9..jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="asian amino acid face wash neogence" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe0ZIufUd7FdTMCdDSvmFVyWFAj9XdVpdGjJNTwRR9HaVGDnNMQfp6zgtFCpzQba9Cb0rEw-ll4VeOi8pemM7aDF3vOOiOr7s6x7467wLCjKtGRdhXuxKR6OH1QjbNuvCBapzU-yo5TLHx/s1600/9..jpg" title="asian amino acid face wash neogence" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If I am not mistaken, Neogence is a Taiwanese brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This face wash is enriched in aminoacids. What I like about this product is that it comes in a mousse form which is very gentle on the skin as opposed to foaming gels which tend to dry it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2CUeshNO-3wOwNMLx0yyfA7lhaJte5C6JwRDS1-6Dr7_xRtkGZHrQZgGNV-ceAHNneJ-NMzUkUmo7PzPDm6PKiJcM5fAFWfdfvPi2bHKzJcRfaj2A5M8IZSUq1wyRtyE1kmDxsvfEPZ1/s1600/9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="top face korean snail soothing gel" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjM2CUeshNO-3wOwNMLx0yyfA7lhaJte5C6JwRDS1-6Dr7_xRtkGZHrQZgGNV-ceAHNneJ-NMzUkUmo7PzPDm6PKiJcM5fAFWfdfvPi2bHKzJcRfaj2A5M8IZSUq1wyRtyE1kmDxsvfEPZ1/s1600/9.jpg" title="top face korean snail soothing gel" /></a></div>

<i>[Left: Korean beauty store in Mong Kok / Right: Sasa]</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I could not pass on this snail gel. I feel like snail is the new it-product in skincare. I have seen it everywhere from magazines to youtube videos. I totally love the smell of this gel. I used this on the sunburns that I got when I was in Thailand (pictures coming soon) and it did not hurt or revive the pain caused by the sun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Last but not least, I have purchased yet another acne product. This time it is a Chinese brand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did not use it a lot so I can not tell you whether it is good or not but I will tell you what I think about it when I use it more.</div>

Long story short, we had booked a hotel... in a different city! I guess we should have seen it coming since we "organized" our trip at last minute. And by last minute I mean that we booked our tickets for Hangzhou on Friday night and our bus was on Saturday at 8am.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
And by last minute I also mean that we left the house at 7:30am on Saturday whereas we had absolutely no idea where the bus station was. Lucky for us we made it to the bus five minutes before the departure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But I have to be honest with you guys, I love misadventures! They always become our best memories. I will never forget our histeric laughs at eleven when we were saying that we had no hotel, I will never forget the same histeric laugh we had when we finally reached a hotel room at one in the morning and... I will also never forget how we missed the bus to go back home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Misadventures with friends will always be great memories.</div>

Dear all,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am so excited to share this post with you today. You might have noticed (and I hope you have) that the blog has had a makeover !!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have been wanting The Serial Shopper to look somewhat like what it is today for so long!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You know, when I think about it, it is amazing how much I have learned and gained from blogging.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The fact that I am now able to work with HTML and CSS to make things work the way I want them to just blows my mind...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here it is. Brand new, freshly painted blog!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am really happy with the new look of The Serial Shopper and I hope that the improvements will make your experience here that much more enjoyable.</div>

As mentionned in the title, these pictures were shot at a really lovely restaurant in old town Suzhou.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Suzhou is twenty minutes away from Shanghai by fast train and very famous for the numerous gardens surrounding the area.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This dinner was one of my very first from my stay in China and publishing these pictures brings so many memories now. Ah nostalgia, nostalgia...</div>

</span> <span style="font-size: large;">This blogpost is nothing fancy but I really wanted to share with you images from my life in China.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Some pictures date back to January, some were taken fairly recently, some were shot in Shanghai, others in Kunming, Canton, Beijing...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I really have so much I need to say but I honestly don't know where to start !</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am definitely planning to make a full article on my impressions of China and what it is like living there. If some of you are visiting or moving to China soon and need any advice, don't hesitate to ask me, whether it be by mail or by writing a comment down below.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In this post I am only putting iPhone pictures but I will show you better quality images in the future for sure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As you have probably noticed, I have tried my very best to practice my Chinese by translating the captions under the first pictures, but then I stopped translating because I wasn't sure of every word... Honestly, my chinese is already pretty good for everyday conversations and my chinese teacher can definitely confirm haha, but I still lack so much vocabulary. Hopefully I will get better over time.</span></div>

It is so good to be back! There is so much we need to catch up on though.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's start from the begining shall we?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you know, two years ago I used to live in France. Some of my best friends lived in the same city as me but after one year, they moved to the beautiful Nice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These pictures date back to the first days of October 2014 when I went to visit one of them. Despite the season at that time of the year, the weather was still lovely and warm. My friend and I even got to swim in the ocean on a whim haha. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I appologize for the quality of these pictures which is clearly not the best but the next posts will be much better. You just wait and see... ;)</div>

<b>Dear readers,</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Every now and then, I tune in to TSS and look in nostalgy at pictures of old posts.</div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The other day, after scrolling through old blog pictures, I went ahead and opened my blog email adress and discovered in shock that I had received <i>a number</i> of messages from readers asking me what had become of me and the blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
First of all I would like to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your support. When I checked my emails the other day I honestly did not imagine for <i>one </i>second that I would find messages from readers, let alone from companies asking for collaborations!! And yet there were quite a few of <i>both</i>!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Then I checked the date of my last blogpost and discovered that it has been 14 months since I last appeared in here... Out of curisosity, I decided to check my stats and <i>what a surprise</i> it was to see that I still had a considerable amount of daily visits on the blog!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Again : <b>THANK YOU</b>! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Your loyalty to The Serial Shopper really warmed my heart. But please do not think that I selfishly abandonned the blog and that I am not giving much consideration to you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If only you knew the frustration... I have a burning desire to talk to you, connect with you, share stories and experiences and simply report and keep track of my daily life. The last two years of my life have probably been the best and the most exciting ones that I ever had. And yet, I haven't been able to share my story with you... </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You know, we often erroneously give too much credit and attention to the blogger, the one appearing on the images, the face that we recognize on every picture and are familiar with. The truth is, a blogger is nothing without their photographer, without the support and dedication of someone as passionate and as devoted to the project of the blog as they are.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the last 14 months, I haven't been able to share with you a single thing, for that mere reason that I had no photographer to travel the journey of this blog with me. My siblings and family have done a great job supporting me and helping me blog while I lived in Morocco. But as you guys know, I moved to France two years ago, and moved again a year later to... China<i style="font-weight: bold;">.</i> Yes, China!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A lot of good things have happened to me in the past two years. From moving to France, to working for Céline, then moving to China, travelling around Asia... I cannot wait to tell you all about it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So... this is why I am writing this to you. I have decided to come back. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My situation hasn't changed, I am still working all on my own for this blog and my photographer is never twice the same. But the happiness and self-fulfilment I get from blogging are far too important for me to give up on TSS. Blogging has helped me grow as a person, then it made me take the big plunge and venture through the world of photography. Blogging has boosted my creativity but also allowed to develop HTML skills. And just when I least expected it, the blog has become my best resumé. But over all, blogging has introduced me to you, loyal readers or lost internet wanderers, who always had a good word to say and comment to make about my posts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

I terribly miss opening up to total strangers and get responses from them. I miss reading a line from you to chear me up on a bad day. I miss taking pictures and putting efforts and hard work into them. I miss getting creative. I miss everything. I miss all of it.</div>

We shall read each other again very soon.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Long time no see huh? Poor blog... slowely diying, getting lost in the middle of the world wide web...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">I wish I could update it more often but the truth is that life tends to get too busy.</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Anyway, the sun - which I honestly don't feel has ever left Lille - is coming back to the city! The weather is getting warmer and last Saturday we even got to enjoy a lovely 20°C day. Whoever said the north would be awfully cold was clearly wrong!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Back in Morocco my family and I do not celebrate christmas. It's just not part of our moroccan traditions. But this year, since I happened to be staying in Paris for the christmas holidays, I did gather with some friends and two of my sisters around that oh-so-famous christmas tree.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">We decided to add our little touch to the celebration and played "secret santa": each person had to buy a gift without knowing who it was going to go to. So you can only guess how hard it was to find something that could work for both boys and girls...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">When it came to the food though, we respected the traditions and stuffed our stomachs (okay maybe we also added a moroccan dish or two to the menu). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">As for my outfit, I really had no clue what I could wear since most of my fancy clothes I left in Morocco. I eventually came up with this little white combination which made me think of that famous song "<i><u><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJSUT8Inl14" target="_blank">White christmas</a></u></i>".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I hope you like the pictures and I'll be back very soon with some news to share with you !</span></div>

</span> <span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">About two weeks ago, the korean brand <a href="http://www.lufri.com/xe/" target="_blank">Lufri</a> sent me two pairs of muffles.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"> I took them with me to Paris and they proved incredibely useful during the cold night walks in the city. The best part about them ? You can use your smartphone touchscreen while wearing them ! How cool is that ! Not to mention that they are indeed very warm. And, well, I couldn't resist the leopard print...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">What happened? It's been ages since I last wrote here!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, things have been a little hectic since I came to Lille which is why I have been absent.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">So here is a little explanation...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">First, I had to take time to settle in my new place, organize myself and find a new rythm.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Then, as school started, I had to take the time to explore the new environment where I was going to evolve, find my landmarks, and discover all the new courses that I was going to take.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGeksQxG1dffL7RGCGA3Wev5iS3xvGXnZuwPzZehLI3Tl-6Gj7JaUid880HS0Yb3fcnIFWKels-a0jDANvIrtOZ3feVQjBvAOKfh7_Rb-9J2JnS1AOpNPv3_AN9HJj2ROCOzvyMPg6Xyl/s1600/photo+(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGeksQxG1dffL7RGCGA3Wev5iS3xvGXnZuwPzZehLI3Tl-6Gj7JaUid880HS0Yb3fcnIFWKels-a0jDANvIrtOZ3feVQjBvAOKfh7_Rb-9J2JnS1AOpNPv3_AN9HJj2ROCOzvyMPg6Xyl/s640/photo+(5).JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Making friends was not hard at all. Of course, the first days are always a little awkward and you're not sure how you should approach people (you usually end up braking the ice by doing the "police interview": what's your name, where are you from, where did you study last year... Well, except you sound much friendlier than a police officer while doing this) but I eventually found my clique whithin just a couple of days.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The most important reason why I am so late on my blogging plans is that I have recently decided to take important responsibilities in my school. Responsibilities that will teach me things that no regular course could ever teach me. And this is taking away all of my time. In fact, it's taking away so much of my time that I even have a hard time working on my lessons and finishing my assignements before the deadline. Not to mention that I surprised myself forgetting to have lunch a couple of times this week! So it's needless to say that I <b>had </b>to postpone my next blog article...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Yes guys! It is now official!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">While you are reading this I am actually on my way back to Lille, where I'm gonna spend this upcoming year (<a href="http://www.theserialshopper.blogspot.com/search/label/lille" target="_blank">hence my recent visit to the city</a>)!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">You cannot imagine how excited I am about this! I LOVE living on my own, I love my independence and I love new adventures so I really can't wait to start this new one!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I've already lived without my family for two years, but I was still in Morocco so it didn't feel like such a big difference. This time however, I'll be in a different country, a different continent even (although it's not so far from Africa)!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I hope that I will meet some amazing people, who share the same interests as me and love fashion and photography just like I do! I also hope to meet someone who'd help me out with the blog, because I never truly managed to find the right pace for TSS, since I don't have the most crucial factor for that: the photographer!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Here are a few more pictures from Lille, taken while I was exploring the city (and discovering some nice spots!). Big ups to my mom for the photography, it was her first time doing this for the blog!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">I wanted to tell you guys a huge <b>Thank You</b> for giving me your opinion about my little dilemma (<a href="http://theserialshopper.blogspot.com/2013/08/dear-readers-i-need-your-advice.html" target="_blank">here</a>) and offering me some precious advice! I loved reading your comments and you've helped me a lot trough making a decision! It turns out that the trip I was telling you about might end up being in France instead of Italy, but I think it might be a good idea not to miss it anyway...</span></span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">On other news, I am very excited to introduce you the new Serial Shopper very soon!! After MONTHS working on the new design, I can finally reveal it to you in the upcoming days!! There is still a lot to be done but the general look of the new blog is almost ready, so I'm gonna show it to you and keep working on the rest of the design as we go along. I really hope you will like it!</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Hi guys!<br />
Here is another outfit from back when I was in Lille, France. I had a busy day so I opted for something simple and confortable: flats and a turquoise sixties-like dress. Once again, I added some food pictures to this post since you guys seem to like them!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br />
</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">On another note, I made a HUGE mistake two days ago which I think some of you have noticed (those of you who stay up very late at night. Or... who live on another timezone). If you guys remember what I told you in <i><a href="http://theserialshopper.blogspot.com/2013/06/in-marrakesh.html#more" target="_blank">this post</a> </i>then you know that I'm currently working on a new design for the blog. Well, that night while I was working on that said design, I made a <b>huge </b>blunder and the blog turned into a total mess and was even inactive for a moment! I eventually managed to get everything back to normal whithin just a couple of hours and I hope I haven't forgotten anything.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Loved the decoration at the restaurant (too bad I can't remember the name of the place).

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">Dear readers, I </span><b style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">really </b><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif;">need your advice. </span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I have an important decision to make right now and I want you to tell me what you would have done if you were in my shoes...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">So here is the dilemma: on mid-september I have two amazing oportunities coming up but they happen to be at the EXACT same days! So I obviously have to choose one over the other...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The first one is a <b>fashion event</b> which I would be so pleased to go to and the second one is a<b> trip to Rome</b> with my future classmates.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">There is no need to tell you why I want so bad to go to the first, as for the second, it would be my chance to go to Italy for the first time and I KNOW that it is going to be a lot of fun since that is the actual point of the trip: getting to know each other in the most craziest ways ever. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I guess I will have plenty of other occasions in my life to go to Rome but this particular trip only happens once in a student's lifetime and can be pretty significant for me to fit in in my new school.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">So please tell me!! What would you have done? I really want so badly to attend both events but I HAVE to make a choice...</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large; text-align: center;">Lately, I've been getting a lot of ideas as to what to share with you on the blog. The thing is, you never know when you will get inspired, and for me, if I don't write down my thoughts, I can forget them pretty easily, especially if a lot of them are popping in my mind all at once.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">So the most obvious and easiest way to keep track of all those ideas is to note them on a little notebook (and not just a piece of paper, which you might loose as well). While I was on the hunt for a cute notepad, I stumbled upon <i><a href="http://instagram.com/p/dHrSmkzBY1/" target="_blank">this</a> </i>(quite perfect coincidence) but eventually opted for something more minimalist and bought this striped number.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I have already written so many things on it! Now I only hope that I will find the time to bring all my ideas to life...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I arrived to Lille last Sunday and I'm leaving it tomorrow. This was my first time in this city and I have to say that I love it here! Especially the Vieux Lille (old city center) which architecture is so stunning and luxurious.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">When I see beautiful old buildings, I can't help imagining how it must have been back in the days, how people used to dress and what their lifestyle was like... And I basically start daydreaming about a life that I would have loved to have. The best part about Lille - the current Lille - is its people. They are all <b>so </b>nice and welcoming, more than in any other french city that I have been to so far!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Lille is so charming...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">I'm very excited to share this post with you today!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">First because I'm introducing you to my new hair cut (I don't want my hair to ever be long again, that's it), and second because I've put a lot of effort in the photography for this article, trying to recreate a boudoir mood and I really hope you can notice that. Unfortunately, whenever I upload pictures on Blogger they kind of loose a bit of their quality and look slightly blurrier than they actually are...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Back to the hair now. I went to the hair saloon a couple of days ago to chop off a few inches and go back to <i><a href="http://theserialshopper.blogspot.com/2012/07/new-hair.html" target="_blank">this</a> </i>lenght again, or even slightly shorter. I wanted my hair to be right above the shoulders but I guess the hairdresser enjoyed playing with the cissors and cut a little more. And I'm <i>so </i>glad she did! I was always afraid to regret cutting my hair this short so I never even tried but now I love it! What about you? Do you like the new short(er) hair?</span></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Looking at these pictures I realise how bad I am at night time photography... or at least when it comes to outfit pictures. I always have that green tan (remember <a href="http://theserialshopper.blogspot.com/2013/04/one-night-in-casablanca.html" target="_blank">this post</a>?) and can't seem to reduce the noise on the pictures (those weird little dots).</span><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: x-large;">Some of these pictures are not so bad but let's be honest, most of them suck! I really need to improve my night time photography skills...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><span style="color: #666666;">I don't think I have ever made a beauty post on this blog. Which is probably because I don't usually use a lot of makeup on an daily basis. My everyday makeup consists of a winged black eyeliner and some lipbalm.</span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">However, I love buying new makeup and experimenting with it, even though in the end I just stick to my black eyeliner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">When I was in Paris, I bought a few makeup products and tools and I finally know how to do a real smocky eye which is certainly going to be the subjet of a tutorial very soon. Until then, I just wanted to show you a few of my favorite parisian beauty related purchases and share with you my favourite beginner budget-friendly makeup brands.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"> <span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">I'm a big fan of the H&M makeup. It's not expensive which allows me to experiment without splurging in something I might end up not using. Plus it's usually quite a good quality.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Sparkly gold eyeliner from H&M.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">Yves Rocher is also a great brand for a makeup beginner like me. Quite affordable and most importantly: made out of natural products!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Turquoise liner and clear lipgloss (number 01) by Yves Rocher.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">There is also Kiko, which is a brand I discovered a little while ago on Youtube. I finally got a chance to try out their products during my last stay in Paris, since they have opened a store there. They make really good products for a good price.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Beige stick eyeshadow by Kiko (number 28).</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The last brand I want to introduce you to in this post is Flormar. This is a really good brand with a variety of products and prices.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>Terracota blush-on (number 46) by Flormar.</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">The grey eyeshadow that you see on the picture is really good. It's very pigmented and can be used both wet and dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><span style="color: #666666; font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Water eyeshadow (number 228) and french manicure nailpolish by Kiko. </span></i></div>

<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">My sister is skilled for many things but definitely not photography.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Imagine me, all excited to go visit the Opéra Garnier in Paris, not only because the place is beautiful and full of things to discover and learn from, but also because it could work as a perfect backdrop for outfit pictures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">And so, I naturally handed the camera to</span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;"> </span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">my sister</span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">, already thinking about how beautiful the next pictures on the blog could be... </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">That was until I came back home and discovered that... half of the pictures are blurry. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Good job sis'!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">Anyway, let's stop complaining shall we? </span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">I still wanted to show you all the beauty of the place so I tried to use the pictures that were not so bad and fixed them a little bit. </span><span style="color: #666666; font-size: x-large;">I hope you don't mind a slightly blurry post...</span></div>
