When I was thinking of ideas for Blogmas 2020, I was thinking about what I found joyful and maybe a little silly. The idea came to me almost instantly. Dancefloor December. Just like how there's nothing better than alliteration, there's nothing better than busting out your moves, the good, bad and 2 left feet kind. …
I've been thinking a lot lately about celebrating uniqueness in everyday items. Recently, it's been the bowls and plates I eat off every day. This is certainly true in Japanese culture where presentation plays a large role during meal times as well as the array of side dishes. Different dishes seek to please the eye …
I'm putting my hand in and saying right here and now that I will be doing Blogmas for the days leading up to Christmas- every 2nd day.

With trying to do my part for our environment and future, I have recently turned my attention to Orangutans. Orangutans are one of my favourite animals of the world and unforuntely, their chances of their survival in the wild are slowly diminishing due to habitat loss and the increase in land clearing to make way …
The next town on our Mexico trip after a day in San Miguel de Allende was Guanajuato. Guanajuato City is about 1 hour northwest of San Miguel de Allende and is a colourful town dotted in the mountains. The bus terminal is not in the city centre so you will need to catch a cab …

I bought this magnet from the Casa Azul in Mexico City. It was the late home of Frida Kahlo which is now a museum (free vitual tour in the link). It's not very big but a very popular tourist stop in the suburbs of Mexico City. When everything is back to normal, remember to book …
