Hello! Or should I say...bonjour?

Well, as you can see I couldn’t keep my lame jokes off of this blog, lol. But, hello!!!!!!!! 

Funny how every time we say something along the lines of “hey! We’re finally back for good!”, we usually never post again until months have passed. It is not our intention at all, but we have been busier than ever. 

In the last months, Oddie got a weekend (sometimes full-week) job and me (as in Gee, the other half of this bog) moved to Paris. No, not permanently. I wish! *sigh* But I am studying abroad for a semester. So, as you can see, we have been keeping a long distance friendship for two months! It is not the easiest thing to do because our time zones are totally different and most of the time, when one of us is going to bed, the other one is wide awake. Now, add a blog into that equation and it becomes a harder. But hey, here I am, writing a post that was intended to be up in August. Oops.

I tried, and I swear I did, to vlog. But my vlogging abilities are definitely not on point. So, instead, I’m going to summarize the last 53 days in a few lines haha. 

I don’t know why, but I’ve never had a problem when it comes to jet lag. I usually don’t experience it and this time was not the exception. I slept like a baby and was ready to wander around the city the next day. I attribute it to the excitement that runs through my veins every time I am in a different city. But that doesn’t mean I don’t struggle to get up every morning! I’m so scared to sleep in on school days, so I usually set like 5 alarms haha. 

Onto my experiences in Paris...The university I’m studying at couldn’t be closer to the Eiffel tower, so I’ve been spending a lot of my time there. There are for things you need to do when it comes to it: 

• Visit it at night because it sparkles. Eeeeek. Every hour for 5 minutes only! (And I recently discovered that half of it sparkles in the morning, but I’m trying to figure out if it’s a usual thing.) 
• Spend some euros and get to the top of it. It’s probably not a great idea right now because it’s fall and I can bet it’s really windy and cold at the top, but during the summer is amazing. Plus, you’ve got a pretty damn amazing view of the city. 
• I’ve discussed this with a few pals, but we don’t really like the Eiffel tower during the day. We just think it’s not thaaaaaaaaat appealing to the eye (please don’t hate us, french people). But I found a really nice way to enjoy it. Go buy some food and champagne and just sit by the Seine river, in Trocadero or in the gardens down the tower. You’ll have a great view while relaxing, and it’s amazing.  
• Visit the place around sunset. There’s not much to say, you’ll get some great shots. The view is amazing. 

When it comes to shopping, MAN, there are some nice places to go to. You can find some great stores, and still affordable, at Les Quatre Temps (in La Défense), Beaugrenelle Paris, la Bastille and les Champs-Élysées! But if you’re willing to splurge, like, REALLY SPLURGE, Galeries Lafayette and Avenue Montaigne are made just for you. Last weekend, a friend and I walked down that avenue and felt incredible poor haha. It’s the street were you can find all the designer stores, go figure. Someday though *sighs again*. 

I won’t say a lot about touristic places because I’m sure we have all read a lot about them already. But you cannot come to Paris and not visit Montmartre, la Basilique du Sacré-Cœur, le Musee du Louvre, Montparnasse tower, le Arc de Triomphe and all that jazz. I still need to visit the Musee d’Orsay and find my prince Louis (Gossip Girl reference) though and the stadium where PSG plays at.

Important thing to say, I cannot speak french. Well, just the most basic stuff ever. And it helps me to move around the city and survive and be nice to people in the streets. So, don’t worry if you don’t know the language. People here (most of them) don’t really mind if you ask for help in english or in a not-so-well-pronounced french. 

Oh, I have a love-hate relationship with the metro (as they call the subway/underground here in Paris). I love the fact that it takes you everywhere in so little time, but I totally despise huge crowds and it can get really crowded at peak hours. And there are some creepy guys sometimes, but if you’re with someone else, it’s not much of a problem. But if you’re alone, I’ve learned that you can always listen to music and ignore the person who approaches you. Hahaha. You just gotta be careful and keep an eye on your surroundings. 

French cuisine, eh, not my favorite. But as it is a cosmopolitan city, you can find any type of food really. So, don’t really worry if you’re a fussy eater. You can always order the basics in almost every restaurant. And if you want to save up some cents, order water. Like, plain water. They won’t charge you! And when it comes to desserts, I’ve completely fallen in love with the vanilla macaroons and eclairs!!! 

Last, but not least (wow, such a cliché sentence)...Paris, France in general, is so close to so many countries in Europe and that’s definitely something awesome about it. I really want to travel to Germany or Amsterdam on my week off, we’ll see. I already travelled to London for a weekend, just to see One Direction (GAAAAAAH) (I promise a post about it is coming soon!!!!!!) and it was incredible! Just took me about 3 hours to get there. 

Just a little teaser ;) (literally)

Talking about school, I’ve been pretty darn busy! All of my projects demand a hell of attention from me. But, as my mother would say, I wanted to study abroad. And I’ve had the opportunity to meet some amazing people, some of them I can call them my friends and it’s grool. It’s really nice getting to know different cultures and stuff. 

Before living here, Paris wasn’t my cup of tea, to be honest. But after 53 days, I can definitely tell you that I’ve learned to love it. There’s always something going on around, whether it’s an art exposition, a fashion show, a silent disco party, a concert, an ERASMUS party, anything! And I’m pretty sure that if you give it a chance, you’ll learn to love it as I did. 

This is pretty much it for the moment, but I seriously promise to write more about my life here! I hope you enjoy this post and please feel free to say hi in the comments if you’re a reader from France!!! If you want to see more pictures of Paris and food and One Direction and 5SOS and selfies, you can check out my Insty: @geovanagallegos.

It’s almost hump-day! We’re nearly there! Have a lovely week, salts (yeah, I felt the need to say that, sorry). 

Over and out. 

PS. I want to give a shout out to all of those amazingly good looking guys I’ve seen on the streets/metro of Paris, you’re da real MVPs. And it’s sad that I won’t see you ever again, have a great life, dudes.

Nail Polish Collection: Part 1

Hello, people from planet Earth. We’re back and with loads of posts coming your way. Yeah, we promise we are back for good this time haha. *promise that for the 192743rd time* Plus, we’ve been working to make this blog better and better. YAAAAY. 

So, as you may have noticed from the title of this post, this is going to be about our nail polish collection. And we realized we have a ton, so we will split the whole collection into 2 posts. Here’s the first part...WOOHOO!!!!!! 

Alrighty, first we got our purple collection. Starting off Jafra’s “Berry Crush”, Essie’s “Bond With Whomever”, Cy°zone’s “Lilac” and Jafra’s “Queen For A Day”. Ok, we know the last one doesn’t look purple, but we promise it’s got purple glitter. Then we have China Glaze’s “Evening Seduction”. Then is Essie’s “Luxedo”, followed by Magnetic Color (we don't know the name, sorry), Jafra’s “Dangerous Purple” & “Virtue”, and Esika’s “Passion Purple”.

Our next color is a weird selection of brown-ish kinda polishes. We think, haha. First it’s Flormar’s silk satin “Mini Dress”, then China Glaze’s “Below Deck” and again Flormar with “Tree Bark”.

Then it’s time for loving some red polishes, yay! We started with China Glaze’s “Be Merry, Be Bright” and “Just Be-Claws” (yes, they’re Christmas special edition, LOL); then it’s Jafra’s “Geisha”, Flormar with nail art “Blazing Fiery” & matte “Volcanic Red”, and China Glaze’s “Pure Joy” (yeah, it’s also from the limited Christmas range).

Now, onto the fun stuff, colorful thingies!!!! It’s a Claire’s collection but we can’t remember the name, sorry :( But it’s this fun and bright bunch of nail polishes with multiple colors in each bottle, how cool? From left to right, it’s “Surf’s Up”, “Springtime”, “New Technopop”, “Sand Art”, “Watermelon”, “Strawberry” and “Mango”.

 

Next we’ve got oranges. Like, brightest color ever and in two pics. First it’s OPI’s “Guy Meets Gal-veston”, then Cy°zone’s “Orangyc”, China Glaze’s Neon “Sun Worshipper”, “Do The Twist” from Color Club’s Poptastic Remix Collection and China Glaze appears again with “Love Letters”. The second picture shows Kleancolor’s “Party Fever”, “Off Duty” from Color Club’s Made in New York Collection, Neon’s “Orange Tree”, Avon’s “Orange” (please, be more creative with your nail polishes’ names, thank you very much, Avon). Finally, we have Jafra’s “Golden Nectar” and Icing’s mood swing nail polish “Cheery/Confident”.

Who doesn’t love a turquoise nail polish? We know we do. So, here we have Claire’s mood color changing nail polish “Peaceful/Confident”, China Glaze’s “Turned Up Turquoise (Neon)”, Bissú’s “Melody”, Flormar’s Jelly look “Turquoise Green”. In the bottom picture you can see Teen Nails’ “Brest”, China Glaze’s Tranzitions “Duplicityy” (yes, we did type two “y’s”), “Too Yatch To Handle” (let’s be honest, we just bought this one because it was an adorable mini version) and “For Audrey”.

Now, onto burgundies (more like burgun-die-for). From left to right, Teen Nails’ “Deep Burgundy”, Jafra’s “Burgundy” (again, a really creative name), Flormar’s “Velvet Red”, Revlon’s “Satellite”, China Glaze’s “Seduce Me” and “Santa Red My List”, and Bissú’s “Charlestone” (again, mini versions. Eeeek).

A must-have: white nail polishes. From left to right: BTWN by Jafra’s “B Secret”, China Glaze’s “Oxygen”, Jafra’s “Moon White”, Flormar’s nail art in white, a nameless Claire’s white nail polish and China Glaze’s “Luxe and Lush”.

Then, onto nature’s color: green! We started off with Island Girl mood color changing nail polish “Greenyellow” (so creative!), Colorfun’s “Lemon Green”, Mary Kay’s “Grass Green”, Cy°zone’s “Lemonyc” and Jafra’s “Lime Attraction”. The next greenie picture contains Color Club’s “Editorial”, Flormar’s satin matte “Green Flag” & neon “Saturated Green”, Cy°zone’s “Emerald Glitt”, Claire’s “Lime” and Jafra’s “Jade”.

Well, fellas, this is it for our nail polish collection part 1. We had so much fun writing this, with all the weird polishes’ names, hahaha. But, especially, because we’re back for good. We truly promise this time. 

If you haven’t noticed, we just renewed this site! And we are beyond happy. This is such an exciting time and we’d like to share it with you all.

Six months later...

Hello, everyone. We’ve been MIA for six months now and that’s bad. So, an apology goes out to whoever reads our blog. WE ARE BACK ON TRACK, PEOPLE. 

I basically thought about describing what we’ve done in these six loooooooong (not really) months, but I’ve got a shitty memory and, even if I remembered everything, this post would turn into a novel. 

Now, I resume all of that into a few words. Suit yourself.

Birthdays. New friendships. Keeping old ones afloat. Watching (and obsessing over) series such as GG and PLL. Sickness. Road trips. Drama. School projects and homework. Parties. Uptown Funk. And all those amazing new songs.  Basketball games. Soccer matches. And baseball once in a while. Finals. Food. Vacations. Even more sickness. Transferring schools. Going to study abroad. Unrequited love. Graduations. Starbucks x1234567890987654321234567890. Band boys. Avengers, like a thousand times. Did I mention drama? 

People say a picture is worth a thousand words, here you go. We're still alive. 

A very important date: June 2nd. It was the blog’s first anniversary!!!!! I can’t believe we’ve been doing for a year now. It seems like yesterday when we were at Starbucks sippin’ on lattes and talking about this blog. I love writing and I adore doing this with my absolute soul sister. I couldn’t be happier. Here’s to many years, because the best is definitely YET to come (for the blog and both of us). 

So, yeah. As I said before, we’re back. And with slight changes (as per usual). In case you haven’t noticed, I’m writing solo right now. Not because we’ve stopped being best friends and hate each other, but because we’ve took some decisions regarding the blog. From now on, we’ll write individual posts as well, ‘cause we have personal things to do and sometimes we can’t find the time to write something together. But this is our blog. So, we’ll keep writing stuff together. YAAAAAY. 

That’s it for today. I’m speaking for both of us when I say that we’re glad start writing again.

Have a lovely day, friends. We love you. 

(This is the part where I feel like writing “xoxo, Gossip Girl”, ‘cause ADDICTED TO GG)

PS. In case you're new to the blog, you need to know more about us. Here's the link. 

YouTubers Series: Marcus Butler

Hi, loves! It's Heck Yeah It's Monday again, yay! Continuing our YouTubers series, we bring to you a post about none other than, drumrolls please, MARCUS BUTLER!

Marcus is a YouTube celebrity and vlogger who joined YouTube 4 years ago, on 2010. Since then, he has been entertaining us with his brilliant & funny ideas and also his collaborations with other great YouTubers.

  

The video where he rapped celebrating he reached 1 million subscribers is probably our favorite one. We mean, who doesn't love guys who can rap?! Lol. Since we watched it, we like to call him Marky Butt Butt. And we might jam to that song every time we see each other. Like, not even joking. Is a pretty good jam for car journeys, totally recommended.

We absolutely love Marky Butt Butt, and here are the reasons why:

•  He's really funny. Like, we want a friendlike you, Marky.
• His videos where he impersonates girls are HILARIOUS, he even got a character named Margaret.
• He is British, and let's be honest, who doesn't love a boy with a British accent?
• He's friend with amazing YouTubers as Alfie Deyes (PointlessBlog), Zoe Sugg (Zoella), Joe Sugg (ThatcherJoe), Caspar Lee, Louise Watson (SprinkleOfGlitter), Jim Chapman, Tanya Burr, Tyler Oakley, Troye Sivan and maaaaany more.
• He's SO sweet to his girlfriend, Niomi Smart. They’re so cute and have a ship  name, Narcus. And yes, she’s the girl from the blog Lady Smart and she’s now on YouTube as Niomi Smart. We’ll write about her later, don’t worry.
• He is a healthy guy: he goes to the gym, eats super healthy, especially only organic food. We should follow his lifestyle, probably.

Only cool people have an online store and an app, so Marcus is not the exception. He recently relaunched his app (available for Android and IOS)! It's really fun, you can know a little bit more about him and you won't ever miss his new videos. Regarding the online store, you can find great shirts and beanies designed by him.

Need another reason to love Marcus? Well, he does not only has a YouTube channel where he posts really entertaining videos, but he has a second one for vlogging. He allows us to see a tiny little part of his life and the perks and whatsoever of being a YouTube star.

Give this guy an opportunity and check out his two channels, we're sure you won't be disappointed.

This YouTube series post need to end somewhere, right? So, this is somewhere, hahaha. Don’t forget to show Marcus some love by visiting his channels and social networks. We’ll leave you his links down below. Also, don’t forget to show us some love in the comments, also down below, or in our Twitter, Instagram or Facebook.

Goodbye, fellas! Have a nice day ;)

Welcome to The Nameless Blog

Hi, everyone!!

Ok, so, we need to establish some sort of order in here, right? That’s why we’re going to tell you a little about it. When we were brainstorming about the things we wanted to write about in this blog, we came up with TONS of ideas. So we decided to settle down on 6 main things and we’re going to explain them now.

We assigned a topic to each day of the week:

Heck yeah, it’s Monday!  

Everyone just hates when Mondays arrive, BUT NOT US! Why? Because we get to post about one of our favorites: the entertainment stuff.

That’s right, here is where we’re going to talk about music, movies, books, TV series, some YouTubers and bloggers. And we LOVE that; we just can’t get enough of it. So, on Mondays, expect to read about your favorites, but also our favorites. We’re going to recommend you all kind of new stuff and also talk about entertainment stuff we all know and already love. This is a win-win, y’all happy and us too. YAY!

Deco Tuesday

Crafts and decoration for everybody, people!

On Tuesdays, we’re going to write about crafts and decoration, for anything. Literally. So, you can expect us to write about all kind of craftsy DIY’s, like room stuff, clothes, notebooks and whatever you can imagine; or simply ideas for you to decorate places like your room, your kitchen, your living room and more. And we even may do some of these projects with y’all.

Beauty Wednesday

Yup, you read it right! Wednesdays will be all about beauty. Inner and outer beauty, of course.

On these days, we’re going to be writing about clothes, accessories, shoes, make up, hair and nails. Who knows? We might even do some tutorials. We’ll give you our point of view on the red carpets and fashion shows’ looks, as well.

Just like every other teenager, we like so many fashion/beauty blogs, YouTubers and models, so expect a lot of posts about our favorites!!!

Inner beauty is the most important thing for us, that’s why we’ll share some of our favorite quotes, sayings that inspire us to be better each day and, if you want to, we can give you some advice on daily life stuff.

Travel Thursday

A glimpse of heaven, that’s how we would define Thursdays.

We’ll make some interesting posts on beautiful cities & towns all around the world. We will tell you the most amazing things to do and see in different places, random facts and everything you want to know about your dream destinations.

Food Friday

There’s not a single person who doesn’t loves food, right? When Friday finally arrives, you can always make some plans with your friends and go out to have a nice dinner, BUT if you feel like staying in, don’t worry, you can prepare some food and great drinks.

We’re going to write about some cool restaurants, easy & delicious recipes, healthy snacks, yummy drinks, and many more!

Scoop Saturday

Don’t even lie to us, DON’T YOU DARE! We know you like celeb gossips as much as we do.

And that’s why we’re going to dedicate a whole day to this interesting topic. We proudly introduce to you Scoop Saturday. Here you’ll be able to read the latest gossips and news about your favorite celebrities: singers, boybands, bands, actors & actresses, YouTubers and all you can imagine as a celebrity!

Sports Sunday & __________ Sunday

We just couldn’t miss to write about sports. But we felt like we still needed to talk about something else on this day. But we didn’t want to establish a one-and-only second topic. So, we came up with this brilliant idea.

On the Sports Sunday we’re going to talk about sports, obviously. We’ll comment about all kind of sports, some of the ones we have practised and some of the ones we would like to practice. Someday, maybe.

And, on the other hand, it’ll be a free and random topic each week. Yeah, you read fine, it’s going to be a post about a different topic each Sunday. Isn’t that great? You’re going to get a different topic every 7 days. So, expect all kind of random posts on this day of the week.

Remember, you can help us to spread the word using the hashtags of our days of the week: #HeckYeahItsMonday #DecoTuesday #BeautyWednesday #TravelThursday #FoodFriday #ScoopSaturday #SportsSunday and whatever we choose as a topic on some Sundays.

Thanks for reading! Hope you enjoy our blog. Remember, you can stay in touch with us in all of our social media, such as Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Facebook, Pinterest, etc. We would really appreciate it :)

Have a lovely day, 

Gee & Oddie.
