AMSTERDAM
May 20, 2014
This post has been sitting in my draft folder for over 2 years! I kept putting it off hoping that the rest of my travel photos would be retrieved from my external drive which suddenly stopped working at the end of our trip. Unfortunately noone was able to fix it so the photos were gone, forgotten and so was this post..until now. DF and I had a short 2 day stay in Amsterdam before catching our next flight to Curacao. I've never been in Europe during summer before so I didn't know what to expect but compared to July in Vietnam when the temperature reaches 38-40 degrees, in Amsterdam it's barely above 17 degrees! Nevermind the temperature, I had a great time exploring the city and since daylight doesn't end until 9.30-10pm we really got to make the most of our time there.
Teatox + Detox
DH and I have both been trying to eat more healthy (we love snacks a bit too much, especially the unhealthy ones) as well as incorporating regular exercise but unfortunately so far we have had more 'cheat' days than we should. Recently I came across SkinnymeTea (SMT) while browsing Instagram and was really intrigued by their 'Teatox' concept. It is basically detoxing but with tea. After doing some online research, I found out that the idea of 'Teatox' has been around for quite some time now and there are mixed opinions about it amongst users/non users. SMT promotes a healthy image which you will be able to achieve by using the tea in conjunction with a healthy eating plan and regular exercise.After weighing the pros and cons, I decided to give Teatox a go and ordered a 28 Day Teatox pack as well as a pack of Acai tea. I am not doing this to lose weight but mainly to see if this tea really help reduce bloating and make me feel more energized. I already am a tea lover (but I do not drink coffee at all) so it will be interesting to see the end results!
Engagement session
May 19, 2014
I was meant to post these engagement photos last September when I got them back from our photographer but did not have a chance to finish the post. We had a great (and rushed!) afternoon running around Sydney CBD for our engagement photo shoot. I finally got to wear my favourite Alice + Olivia one shoulder dress with embellished bodice and fluffy tulle skirt which I got (on sale =D) on my visit to HK back in 2012.
With our Europe trip (aka late honeymoon) only 2.5 months away, I'm going to try my best to get into a regular posting habit so that I can document our trip on a daily (or at least, weekly) basis. No doubt we will constantly be moving from place to place, there will be so much to take in and since I probably won't remember everything, I will have to rely on these blog posts to remind me in the future.
Wedding photo diary coming up next!
