there's definitely a second puberty around 27/30, me and my friends all experienced it, our hips seemed to expand (probably not the right word lol, i'm french) and we had to size up. when we realized it we all traded clothes it was so fun !
I really hope you can get some leadership that cares about your people now that Hamas has been defeated. Cannot imagine what its like to be governed by pure evil !!!!! They killed my friend because he was gay. Disgusting
Pack variable layer's because you will be experiencing different weather situations. London can get wet and chilly, so pack an umbrella and a packable rain jacket to throw over a sweater or blazer. The apartment is looking good and the sofa is great. Enjoy your adventures and I'm looking forward to tagging along. :)) Hey, who's watching Jonni?
LA apparel fits tiny !! i had to go up 2 sizes in their bottoms and they still weren’t flattering - I would recommend just getting tops / accessories etc from them because the bottoms are almost impossible to find in a flattering style
girl if you're going to Barcelona you obviously need to see the Sagrada Familia cathedral. AND IF YOU CAN GO INSIDE. it tool my breath away. Most beautiful building I've ever been in
It's frustrating that your apartment didn't bother to ensure the move-in process was smooth by taking care of the painting. Can't wait until you return from Europe so we can get back to Winnipeg's cozy vlogs.
A capsule wardrobe will save you, especially when you're doing so much traveling and want packing room for books you bring back. Also, the London Review bookshop an Daunt Books are a must. You also have to see a performance of Cabaret at the Kit Kat club if you can afford it. The high up cheap seats are honestly the best ones, if you love theater it will change you
OMGGG I STUDIED ABROAD IN PRAGUE !!! here are some of my recs: - walking around in žižkov! it's a really cool neighborhood and there's so much interesting architecture and design there - golden egg: also located in žižkov, it is one of my absolute favorite restaurants in prague. it's a breakfast-y place with a cute outdoor area and has such delicious food and drinks. their breakfast sandwiches are so good and i highly recommend trying their passion fruit lemonade! it's been 2 years and i still think about her all the time
i love LA apparel and i would say when we still had AA apparel I was a small now I'm a medium I for sure had a second puberty which was "fun" to say the least haha either way with sizing check the measurements they have and also think of the clothes for all seasons. if you wanna tuck sweaters, tops, any kind of shirt size up by one that's always my rule of thumb with any brand i haven't had issues but that's what i've noticed re the comments and just in my experience, when in doubt always size up at least one size or two if need being because you can always belt skirts and pants. i absolutely love your videos thank you so much for creating beautiful content!
My favorite restaurant in Rome was one one street over from the Vatican Museums, it was called something Ristorante dei Musei, it was by far the most traditional restaurant I ate at, and it was so much cheaper than any other with great food!
in Berlin, there's a restuarant called The Future is up to You (near Volkspark am Weinberg) that I ate at over two years ago that i still think about frequently, fondly. that whole neighborhood was so young and energetic
Barcelona is a beautiful city with lots of amazing Art Nouveau buildings. It is true that there is some kind of "hostility" to tourists, local and non-local however I haven't seen anything recently about that. Probably because right now we are all going to work, school etc summer is over afterall. I recommend Laie Llibreria Cafe, Libreria La Central, Llibreria Finestres, Joan Miró Museum, CaixaForum (exhibits), Nomad Coffee, Can Punyentes, Fonda Pepa, Museum of Forbidden Art, and Museum Nacional d'Art de Catalunya. Montjuic is my favourite neighborhood ❤
I think you will love the vibe of Berlin - the wide streets, the history, art, and techno. Try "Zeit für Brot" for a nice juicy cinnamon roll or "Koro café" for a good Flat White
Bodies change constantly. Just wait until you enter menopause..that's a trip. It might not be you, though. I am 449 and have found that every 10 years or so manufactured totally change up how they are doing clothing sizing. It is really a pain. I have older denim that is a size 4 to 6 US and all of the newer stuff from the same brand is a size 0-2..and they all fit the same!
Heyy!! As someone who lived in Prague last year I really really recommend you going to the palestinian reataurant in Narodni Trida, some of the best food I tried there definetly. Enjoy your trip!!
if you go to rome, please for the love of God go to Ponte e Parione. it's a small restaurant in Piazza Navona and i genuinely cannot explain to you how incredible the homemade pasta is. it's a must!!!!
tips for Berlin: she said (amazing bookstore), any gemüse kebab stand or shop, morimori ramen, sofi (amazing pastries), round & edgy (cookies), five elephant (coffee), 19grams (coffee), hanwest (dumplings), do you read me?! (books and magazines)
my recs: giolitti in rome for gelato, glass museum in murano that is a ferry ride from venice, trattoria dell'Orto in florence, amorino gelato, Palazzo ducale was really beautiful in Venice, Liberia acqua Alta is a super cool book store in Venice, Nino and friends for chocolate, Al canton dei artisti was a pretty good restaurant with good prices in Venice, Gelateria la carraia was the best gelato in Florence, La prosciutteria in Florence for cheese and meat, Caffe martini e Rossi was pretty good and right next to the colosseum.
Berlin!: - the sanctuary (GORG vegan italian bakery, favorite place ever) - sisyphos for clubbing - Holzmarket 25 - cafe am neuen see (vegan Vietnamese) - tiergarten if the weather is nice - wolf kino (indie movie theater) - boxhagener platz Saturday food market 🫶🪩
I went through a second puberty when I was 26. Boobs got bigger, sat at 10lbs heavier than before, hips widened, etc. I'm 30 now and 8 months post partum, and my body (obviously) has changed all over again haha.
I've been to Spain 4 times and I must say - skip Barcelona if you can (Madrid, too, as I've had nothing but bad experiences in these two cities and they despise tourists) and go to San Sebastian, Grenada, or Sevilla.
I live in Europe and I recently saw on my local news something about people in some tourist hotspot cities in Spain having large protests against tourism and the protesters were yelling at tourists to go back home and stuff and being kind of aggressive/hostile
Milan!! Art: Fondazione Prada, Hangar PirelliBicocca, MUDEC, Museo del 900 and Pinacoteca Brera Drink: Bar Basso (invented the negroni sbagliato!), CasaBase has fun events around aperitivo time, Lacerba, Lupo, Frida Porta Venezia is the LGBTQ+ area, it has incredible Liberty buildings, amazing bars, and great restaurants (go to Rost!) I also love Isola neighbourhood, Chinatown, Moscova Have a great time!!
DONT beat yourself up over your clothes, even as a plus size person manufactures are all over the place with sizes. Please don't pay attention to the sizes in the EU. Go to charity shop and secondhand shops on your travels. Look at the quality of material not necessarily the "brand". Be safe, much love.
“2nd puberty” is so funny to me. Bodies change and weight fluctuates our whole life haha I promise its not groundbreaking to change sizes. I feel like only a lucky few stay the same size their whole life without much effort but its def not the norm. You must have been lucky! Until now ;) nevertheless, I love your style and so whatever changes come, I’m excited to see how you dress
Oh yes, the thirties puberty is a hard one. Like you mentioned hips get wider, sometimes more wrinkles/fine lines in the face, etc. I had to size up in pants though my weight didn’t change. At first it’s almost a shock, but I felt better actually looking like a woman.
In Florence, all’antico vinaio is OVERRATED and always has a line if you just google sandwich shops they are all so so good do not wait in line there!!! Also Pinos sandwiches are Incred and u can sit with a wine!!!! Vivoli affogato is a must tho!!

I feel like a clothing swap might be the answer to all my problems thank you!!!
That's a fun way to deal with body changes!
So true! I’m 29 and experiencing so many changes to my body like puberty again!
As a Palestinian, Thank you so much! Have a fun trip
I really hope you can get some leadership that cares about your people now that Hamas has been defeated. Cannot imagine what its like to be governed by pure evil !!!!! They killed my friend because he was gay. Disgusting
it's the least I can do! thank you so much
What did i miss

Love the new apartment. Now I can see why you were so excited.

girl if you're going to Barcelona you obviously need to see the Sagrada Familia cathedral. AND IF YOU CAN GO INSIDE. it tool my breath away. Most beautiful building I've ever been in
I love how the molding and outside edges are slightly warmer than the middle paint. Extra dimension and coziness
daunt books in london is a must! my favorite bookstore i’ve ever been to, it’s so beautiful and they have a great selection of books
It's frustrating that your apartment didn't bother to ensure the move-in process was smooth by taking care of the painting. Can't wait until you return from Europe so we can get back to Winnipeg's cozy vlogs.
It's a little annoying but oh well. I'm just happy to be living in a place I love. I promise autumn will be full of cozy vlogs at home!
Your new apartment is so pretty and quaint, love the white walls!
A capsule wardrobe will save you, especially when you're doing so much traveling and want packing room for books you bring back. Also, the London Review bookshop an Daunt Books are a must.

Yay we love a new vlog! Hope you had the best trip!

You may not be in London anymore but Trisha's jazz bar in Soho is amazing! Its super intimate and such good vibes 🍸🌟
Where did you get those clogs? They are amazing!
My favorite restaurant in Rome was one one street over from the Vatican Museums, it was called something Ristorante dei Musei, it was by far the most traditional restaurant I ate at, and it was so much cheaper than any other with great food!
I feel like you are really gonna enjoy Berlin :)

Berlin - lived there for a year and my favourite bars were Multilayerladen and Turandot! Both incredible (cash only!)
I think you will love the vibe of Berlin - the wide streets, the history, art, and techno. Try "Zeit für Brot" for a nice juicy cinnamon roll or "Koro café" for a good Flat White
Definitely get the medium and return the size small! It's not worth feeling uncomfortable in it 🧡🍁🍂

In Rome, if you are near the Vatican, i really recommend a restaurant called Papalino! It's family-run and has very delicious roman food
Bring a good rain jacket!
I was just thinking to paint the entire house for the last cuople of days and this video is a message for me😂❤

Just wait until perimenopause and the body changing. Ask your mom about it 😂

What happened to your other couch?

In Florence, all’antico vinaio is OVERRATED and always has a line if you just google sandwich shops they are all so so good do not wait in line there!!! Also Pinos sandwiches are Incred and u can sit with a wine!!!! Vivoli affogato is a must tho!!
Also 100% take the walk up to Michelangelo plaza for the best night time vibes go to watch the sunset and dance with everyone up there!!
i have no specific suggestion except be very careful of scammers in prag (people who want to exchange your euros to crowns etc)
Also 27 also call it 2nd puberty
you give me lorelai gilmore kind of vibes 😊
LA Apparel sizing is awful. I have to size up 2-3 sizes for any of their bottoms and even then they still fit weird. don't let it bother you!
Men’s bodies also change sooo much in their 20s but nobody notices bc yeah🙄
