Here are some hidden photo locations for your summer (or spring) visit in Paris. This is called a summer photography location list because all these spots work best in summer. Best of all? I have… It’s been a while since my last beauty post. I’d like to try out doing some empties review. My main inspo is Rachel’s series “ten empties” and the rating system from Stashy’s (she has retired from blogging… Another easy to reach wild swim spot located in Basse Terre. The path to Bassin Bleu is not flip flop easy like Cascade de Ecrevisses, but it is still a fairly flat path. It is deep… Trying to get to your first 1000 followers?

If… Konokayu 木の香湯, also known as Kugino Onsen 久木野温泉 was located in the southern Aso village. Quick 5min walk from where I stayed Little Asia guesthouse (previous post). It was such a great stop for the evening after hikes or a long day of walking around. This was not a mixed bath (men & women bath naked together; konyu 混湯 Konyoyu).

This garden is another member of 日本三名園 Nihon Sanmeien, Three Great Gardens of Japan. The other 2 gardens are: Kairakuen of Mito and Kenrokuen of Kanazawa. Unlike my epic weather failed Kairakuen visit, this time, it was only cloudy and did not rain. LOL Celebration! haha The enigmatic Kumamoto Castle. Some walls were damaged by the earthquake, the castle itself was largely okay. The weather was not working with me that day, but it did not diminish this beauty. Kairakuen is one of the official top 3 gardens of Japan. What criteria do they use to derive this? I… This bottle is now half full. Tested in multiple conditions. So here is another round of thorough review with time laps photos. I used macro / close up to share how the foundation sits on my skin.
