As I was starting to plan our dream trip to Paris, there was immediately one special activity that came to mind that I knew I had to experience. I wanted to celebrate my birthday by going to an upscale afternoon tea at one of the amazing five-start luxury hotels in Paris.

Coastal Bathroom Refresh For Under $350 🌊 🌾

And even better, we were able to create this type of transformation while sticking to a tight budget.
