Been a (long) while since I last checked in here on IG. Things have been hectic but I expect they'll be worth it. Pretty excited to see what the coming months will bring. . For now, I'm enjoying some much needed downtime with a cup of coffee and a book. Found this corner of a café tucked away in an industrial estate, where I got the entire mezzanine level to myself after the lunch rush was done 😆 . I'd love to hear from you! What's one thing you've got coming up that you're excited about? ✨
Tested our new #Vitamix blender today. Made almond butter and cashew butter for the family. My dad's really pleased with the results. . Then I made this tropical smoothie with watermelon, passion fruits, frozen banana and some ice cubes for good measure 🍹 Looks like I can throw away my Boost Juice membership card now 😂 . What are some of your favourite fruit combinations for smoothies?
Visited the zoo over the weekend. I don't think I'll ever get over the beauty and majesty of white tigers 😍🌿🐯
Whenever I'm down, I like to go for a walk and turn to nature. Then I slow down to seek out flowers whose beauty never fail to bring me cheer. . What encourages you?
Hi! It's been a while. Actually, who am I kidding? It's been four weeks since I last posted. . So, life update: I fell ill, had a fever, cough, headaches, and a runny nose. Was pretty much knocked out for most of June. The good news is, I'm feeling significantly better now. Still coughing here and there but I'm back on my feet. . Also, the sky turned a beautiful pink when the sun set tonight 💕 . What's one good thing that you're thankful for from the past week?
Temperatures hit 35°C today and it's only the beginning of dry season. At least this means clear blue skies 🌴
Weekend reading. While growing up, there was very little literature available to me about third-culture kids. It's something I had to figure out for myself as my family moved from place to place. That's why I was pretty excited when I found this book. Curious to learn what Tanya Crossman concluded from her studies and observations. . Have you lived abroad, or intend to move elsewhere in the future?
When I first tried almond milk, I didn't like it. It was bland, though slightly bitter. Turns out, store bought almond milk has nothing on homemade! . Homemade almond milk is creamier and tastes amazing. I've been making it a lot lately, so I thought I'd share the recipe on the blog (link in bio) 🍶 . What's your favourite dairy free milk?
