Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part One)

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. I recently went on holiday to New York and over the next few weeks I'm going to share all the cool things I did while I was there. Since I was there for a week, this is going to be a seven part series, a post for each day. So, let's get started!

Curly Hair, Been There: New York City (Part One)

I love this city. That's the first thing I'll say. As soon as I left that airport and got into the city, I was so happy. It was everything I ever dreamed it'd be. Overall, my week's trip to New York was amazing.

We landed at JFK airport at about 4pm local time, after a long seven hour flight with American Airlines. The in flight entertainment and food was good, this was our meal:

The excitement hit most when we were flying over the country and saw the ground from the window of the plane; we were nearly in New York!

Pretty cool view right?

Because we arrived fairly late, all we did on the first day was land, get to our airbnb, which was a lovely little flat in Brooklyn (a great borough by the way, would definitely recommend) and go and grab some snacks from on of the stores on our street.

A nice view on the way

Our first day there was a great experience of the city, and we sat in our room planning the week and what exactly we would do the following day.

My post for Tuesday will be up next week, so make sure to follow my socials to keep updated!

Since we're all stuck inside for lockdown, many people are currently baking to pass the time, including me!

Curly Hair, Been There: The Louvre

Curly Hair, Been There is a segment that explore the different places in the world I have been, and my experiences there. Paris: The Louvre So I went to the Louvre last week and I have some thoughts. It was a nice day and outside, with the famous pyramids and the impressive building, it was a really nice welcome to the landmark. I mean, the whole thing of the Louvre is that it's all nice to look at and it definitely was. I mean, the armed police and street sellers trying to flog their tickets were not so enjoyable, but the rest of it was a lovely introduction to the spectacle. It's very impressive inside as well, the entrance is like a cave and then there are different passages going to different places and it's really cool. I will say that it's a little confusing. I had a map, but if you think I can find my way around with or without guidance you are sorely mistaken. I got lost pretty much instantly. I was wandering around statue...

Curly Hair, What's in There?: LaLaLab

Curly Hair, What's in There? is a segment that will explore the random topics that are always circling my mind, things I want to talk about or things I want to share. LaLaLab So, about a week ago a got an ad on my instagram feed. You know how sometimes you get ads but ignore them, sometimes you get ads that you click on and go through some of the pages of what they're selling, but decide it's too expensive, or you even get to the checkout, only to find the deal isn't what you thought it was? Well, LaLaLab is an ad that I do not regret clicking on. LaLaLab Logo I was intrigued by the idea of cheap photo prints; I think the ad was showing me the photostrips which are something I love, and having small, polaroid-style pictures around my room seemed like a nice way to decorate it; make me feel at home. So, I clicked on the link, uploaded some of my favourite pictures (to be honest I picked a lot from my boyfriend's visit because he'd literally just left P...
