Skin. It's the largest organ of the body that is subjected to every day harshness such as the sun and dust. I recently watched a French lady's skincare routine on youtube. I was shocked to see that in the winter mornings, she applied a few different moisturisers. Shocked is probably not the right word. France …
Blogmas 2020- Day 9: Curated Mornings
A few months ago, I changed my phone alarm to the sounds of birds chirping. I don't set my alarm most days but it was time for no more sudden tones or songs that scare me half to death to get up. Just birds chirping. It was long overdue and I wonder why it took …
Blogmas 2020- Day 7: Drink With Memories
Do you find that drinks don't get as much coverage when talking about past travels? Yet some of my fondest travel memories are drinks that I've tried, whether I had like them or not and where I was exactly when I drank it. Whether it be alcoholic, a delicious fruit smoothie or some sort of …
Blogmas 2020-Day 5: Dancefloor December I
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. …
Blogmas 2020- Day 3: Mismatched Beauty
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 …
Blogmas 2020- Day 1: Filling December With Joy
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. While traditional Blogmas features articles around the theme of Christmas, I've decided that the Blogmas here will instead be about spreading joy. “The healthiest response to life is …

Collection of Christmas Lights From My Travels and Home
I really like Christmas time. Here, we head into our summer holidays where we are forced to not work (for once!), Christmas lights adorn the city centre and shopping centres and I look forward to lunches complete with fresh prawns, cold ham and summer fruits. I think I'm drawn to all the lights, it's a …

Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Whilst Walking
I'm joining in this week's Friendly Friday Photo Challenge from Amanda's blog. I try to have a walk every day to get in my exercise as sitting all day in front of the computer doesn't do anything for the waistline or shoulders. I take my phone on my walks, as you never know what you'll …

Discovering Seasickness On My Travels
Travel is great in that it exposes you to new experiences that you wouldn't normally have in your everyday life and takes you to all the far flung places of our earth. It is here outside of our comfort zones, that we discover something about ourselves. I normally don't take ferries in my day to …
