4. Pet your camel...
5. Take pictures of the cute local kids that live on the way...
6. Ride into the sunset, and take awesome pictures of it...

8. Practice for motherhood?!
9. Have an authentic Moroccan dinner in a super cool tent & get a tamtam concert...
10. Rescue a baby kitten from a sandstorm and let him sleep in your tent even though you're allergic...
11. Take stupid pictures with your friends...
12. Make sure your entire body is covered against the leprosy you might catch from the cots...
13. wake up at sunrise to take more pictures...
(because you could not take some at night due to the sand storm, however, I should tell you, the starry skies were breath taking)

Jardin Majorelle - Yves Saint Laurent's Moroccan Home...
Yves Saint Laurent was the first designer to ever have his collection displayed at a museum. I was lucky enough to still be living in Montreal when the collection made its stop there. I think I have mentioned it before that I probably assisted about 5 times.
Much to my pleasure, I happened to stumble upon yet another YSL treasure during my recent trip to Morocco: this one was called Jardin Majorelle.
** ALL OF THE UPCOMING HISTORY ON THIS POST IS DIRECTLY TAKEN FROM WIKIPEDIA**
The Majorelle Garden is a twelve-acre botanical garden and artist's landscape garden in Marrakech, Morocco. It was designed by the expatriate French artist Jacques Majorelle in the 1920s and 1930s, during the colonial period when Morocco was a protectorate of France.
Majorelle was the son of the Art Nouveau ébéniste of Nancy, Louis Majorelle.
Though Majorelle's gentlemanly orientalist watercolors are largely forgotten today (many are preserved in the villa's collection), the gardens he created is his creative masterpiece. The special shade of bold cobalt blue which he used extensively in the garden and its buildings is named after him, bleu Majorelle—Majorelle Blue.
The garden hosts more than 15 bird species that are endemic to North Africa. It has many fountains, and a notable collection of cacti.
The garden has been open to the public since 1947. Since 1980 the garden has been owned by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé.
After Yves Saint Laurent died in 2008 his ashes were scattered in the Majorelle Garden.

Review: Madewell velvet shirt...
Madewell asked me to review this shirt.
Well, Madwell Team, here it goes: Trying not to be biased, because obviously I like this shirt. I mean, I ordered it because not only is it velvet, it is also sexy in a very discrete manner as well as being trendy chic.
In terms of its functionality, I can see how some people would have "issues" with the shirt. For starters it is completely see through on the lace parts, so if you move your arms to fix your hair, your bra WILL show. I solved this problem by wearing a really cool bra(you can actually see mine peeking out). The other suggestion is to wear something like a nude coloured tank or tube top underneath (I say nude so you can still get the sexy skin effect).
I found this to be a perfect shirt to wear with jeans, because it gave them a bit of a sexy-cool kick. Yesterday, I wore this outfit to a hockey game...
