I almost don’t have the guts to crawl back into blog writing. Let’s do a recap of the year that technically didn’t happen. Warning, photos are unedited, it maybe triggering.
As usual, I am sharing pre-purchase decision making process, delivery experience and product commentary. This review is based on 2 months’ wear. Before we go into all the details, please be aware that I have…
My skincare reviews always take forever to prepare, because I want to have finished at least half if not the whole product. Is that too much to ask? Anyways, here’s my thought on the Good…
Trace des douanier, the easier hiking trail within Trace de la Grande Falaise. Sharing what to expect from this hike from a leisure hiker. Easy hike, Anse Bertrande, Grande Terre, Guadeloupe
Stark with moat and a red bridge. This is the Matsumoto-jo, also known as the crow castle. Coincidently, tons of big (fat) crows can be spotted in the vicinity. The dark colour comes from a combination of wood and stone.
Matsumoto castle is an original keep from 1500s! It is only damaged by earthquake and neglect (was tilting like Pisa), but it is all good now. It is listed as a national treasure of Japan. Madness to think that at some stage the Japanese considered demolition.
There are only 12 original castles in Japan:
This post is long overdue. It has been 9 months since I’ve left London! Fond memories of my year there. Here are the quirks that I miss.
We stayed at Shiroganeya 白銀屋 in Shibu, Yudanaka. This was a smaller ryokan establishment in the area 😀 Let’s take a peep together?
This place is where everyone gets to climb on all four, zipline through the forest and unleash that inner jungle self. They do have some Ninja Warrior style routes as well. From a parent’s perspective, there is how to pacify the kids. Work excellently, by the way. Tried and tested. Here is a quick summary so that you know what you’re in for.
Thank you for reading

These cuddly, fluffy things are real and all naturally found in Akan Lake of Hokkaido, Japan! They looked soooo squishy 😀 They’re alive! Well, a spiritual moss ball?
Boasting to be one of the oldest natural onsen in Japan. This gem is one of my favourite amongst the open air onsens (rotenburo). It is inexpensive and a stunning experience. Breath-taking unbreached sea view while…
This too good to be true deal was actually real! Read on to find out how I did it 😉 #hotel #japan #travel
Travel for less, this is a how to bargain hunt type of post. I am a huge fan of “value for money” when it comes to travel. Leisure should never break the bank or be poor value for money. The below is what I do for sorting out my trips with travel for less in mind. 7 tips from me 😉
We were a table of 12. It was instant magic, 12 people fitted into a 6 -8 seater. Guess what KFC stands for? Korean Fried Chicken (LOL) no kidding.
Besides the regular a la carte, on the menu… the chef can cook anything (LOVE & SHOUTOUT!!!). I love restaurants with this level of confidence. I have been to this restaurant multiple times. This Bangladeshi restaurant rocks! I guess I really should share this.
La Felicità is perhaps one of the latest excitement in Paris. Highly invested in aesthetic and experience. The production value is so high that it gave me the feeling of entering a theme park. I mean, what sort of establishment will decorate their toilet door with barbie dolls? Anyways, here’s my experience.
Yey! It is our 3rd collaboration. Stashy is from Toronto , Canada. She is super organised and this was her fabulous idea. Being a beauty hoarder myself, I certainly will not pass up any opportunity to increase my stash LOL (Now on no buy til 31 Dec 2017) Plus we both posted so early that we landed up a month too early for our actual birthday.
Starting a new chapter in Paris! Never imagined that I’ll land up here. I grew up in South Africa and spoke no French. Ended up meeting my French spouse while working in Shanghai. My hubby…

This is the 5th round for 10 impressions of Paris. I am sharing how I experience Paris as an immigrant in her 30s.
