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

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. Thursday was short and sweet.

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

Thursday was a very chill day. We got up late, and got the Staten Island Ferry over the river.
We did get the 11am service, but luckily for us there were no illegal alien enhanced weapons deals happening. although it would have been cool to have seen Spiderman!

It was a very busy journey, but it was cool to see the city from the water, and see the Statue of Liberty, albeit from afar. 

I didn’t realise how huge it is, I’ve seen the replica in the Luxembourg gardens in Paris, but that one is pretty small, and the one on the Seine is also smaller than this one.
It’s a big monument, and very impressive and even though it would have been nice to go to the island, it was cool to see it as it’s such an important statue. Have some pics from the journey:
A nice view of Manhattan

Another ferry passing us

The Statue through the barriers

The rest of the day was spent at the Staten Island Mall, wandering the shops, and dinner at Applebee’s :

Then we came back on the ferry, to a thunderstorm and heavy rain, so we ran to the station and back home.


A kind of boring day to describe, but it was pretty fun and nice to just relax a bit.


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

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...
