First Snowfall
Last weekend, while all the others went on a day trip to Lourdes, I stayed behind with JZ (my best friend here) and we enjoyed the first snow fall together! After a nice, long walk -- it was really pretty magical on the mount -- we decided to build a little snowman together. JZ constructed the body while I finished the head. Here is what we created together:

Korres-Kings & Queens: Nefertiti
Geia sas se olous!
Γεια σας σε όλους!
(Hello everyone!)
Its been a while since i've had a chance to post since school & work have consumed my life but i wanted to do a quick review on the Korres Kings & Queens: Nefertiti body milk & shower gel.
Kings & Queens' Nefertiti is honey & made with natural products including of course real honey, which you can smell.
pro's:
smell-sweet honey
consistency-rich & smooth
gel is very luxurious
nice moisture that seems to last
con's:
the price is a little high for me $9 & $11-(i bought these off ebay)
i can't put this on before bed; i can smell it all night-too much for bed
I would repurchase the gel but probably not the lotion because i rarely use it.
Here is what Korres says about Kings & Queens:
Get ready like a royal, start the day like a sovereign, make like a monarch. Kings & Queens is a royal new body care range developed around the herbs and spices favored by the aristocracy of a bygone age.
Kings & Queens introduces Body Milks, Showergels, Body Butters, and Shimmering Body Milks, each with a story to tell. From Nefertiti Honey, inspired by the Egyptian Queen who used the Nectar as an indulgent beauty treatment, to Cinnamon, the spice beloved by Queen Isabella of Spain that prompted Columbus’s trip to discover the new world, the creators of Kings & Queens took inspiration from the preferred ingredients of yesteryear.
The line reflects the true decadence of royals past with an imaginative, modern twist. This fun, irreverent range of beauty products is for fashion, style and design conscious urbanites who are always on the lookout for an affordable statement choice.
Kings & Queens products are mineral oil-and paraben-free and enriched with “The Royal Mix,” a blend of Pomegranate, Blue Egyptian Lotus and Malachite extracts containing Hazelnut, Grape, Sunflower and Avocado Oils.
-Made in Greece
What Korres says about Nefertiti:
Nefertiti,
royal wife of an Egyptian Pharaoh, was depicted as an icon of beauty in her famous statue. She regularly used honey as a beauty treatment in order to live up to her name, which means
"the beautiful woman has arrived".

This post goes nicely with my up-coming post about my ancestry that i recently found out; it will take me a bit more time to write it so i will tell you all about as soon as i can! (plus i am still discovering)
Kalo Savvatokyriako!
Καλό Σαββατοκύριακο!
Have a nice weekend!
History in Ambialet
For their year-end project, students have decided to a do a cultural history study, focusing on the traditions, cuisine, and local history of Ambialet. Some of them (Becca, Melanie, Kerstin & Ed) chose to conduct interviews; they prepared several questions in French ahead of time. The others (Lauren, Shane & Gabe) decided to gather information on the history of Ambialet using written texts (see below). We are so thankful to Mamie and Christiane, who generously shared their extensive knowledge of Ambialet with us, with great patience and good humour, and also to our wonderful hosts and translators, Margaret and Peter, who arranged more than one of these meetings for us!
