Omaha Beach

Omaha commonly known as Omaha Beach was the code name for one of the five sectors of the Allied invasion of German-occupied France in the Normandy landings on 6 June 1944, during World War II.  Here are some of the photos I took when I was there.  There are also amazing restaurants around the area which serves mussels and fresh oysters.  If your in Normandy and would like to go to the beach, Omaha beach is the place to be.

Wheat Raclette

Reminiscing this healthy breakfast I had when we were in Normandy, France. If you look closely, 

it has a sunny side up egg in the center and the raclette is thin made of wheat flour similar to a tortilla (that is why i think the color is brown) folded on the sides to make a square shape.  You can ask if you want  it with salad or just the plain raclette what you see in the photo below.  Asking price is 4,75eu. So, don't forget to try this out when you are in Normandy.

Limited Edition Loreal Paris X Balmain

Loreal Paris recently release there newest collection in the collaboration with Balmain Paris.  This is the limited edition of Riche Lipstick Collection.  It has 12 beautiful bold shades to choose from.  The lipstick retails at 14,95eu which I think is quite expensive for a drugstore lipstick.  

You can check out my first impression, wear test and review about this lipstick on my youtube channel.  Just type It's Yen or click here.

The City Of Love - Paris

Paris is one of the countries me and my husband fall in love with.  I never imagined it's only few hours drive away from us. Well, getting into Paris is totally hilarious!  Good thing my husband is an experienced driver. The streets are so busy and they have a very bad traffic system. Surroundings was not clean at all like the Netherlands but the city is oozing with romantic views and sceneries which you will never forget.  That is why a lot of people all over the world travel to visit Paris. Some of  the places we visited are the tomb of Napoleon, the famous Eiffel Tower, the River Cruise, the Sacre Coure Church, Musee Du Louvre and the National Invalides which is just a few minutes walk from where we stayed.  You must at least stay in Paris for couple of days or a week to enjoy touring and site seeing.  We have been to this city of love the second time for the birthday of my husband and has spent New Year there on our first visit.

Here are some photos i took.
