Hello There,

Running a business and working a day job can take a toll on the eyes. This eye pillows from Reverie Daydream Boutique might be just what I need to refresh my eyes and get at least five hours of sleep to help my retinal membrane.  According to the descriptions, created by artisan O’Susanna, the eye pillow is filled with pesticide-free lavender grown on the sunny and valleys of northern California hmm… After all, a girl should be classy and fabulous right?

 Have a wonderful evening.

XOXO

Hello, I miss my blog so much…

When you think of places to visit, some of the world’s largest cities such as Tokyo, Mumbai and New York comes to mind but there are cities which are on a very different scales altogether. The experience and pleasure to be gained from visiting small cities is a very different one going to Venice or Paris-almost certainly more challenging but potentially just as rewarding and enjoyable.  If I had the means of 14 days, below are the cities which I would love to experience:

Ibiza

This city is known for the wild night life; boast the Museum of Contemporary Art and D’Alt Vila.

Sorrento

This small city in southern Italy is a popular tourist destination, and known for its coastal scenery and historic attractions. I would eat Gelato nonstop here.

Ubud

Located in central Bali and boasting fine arts, crafts, dance and music all set among beautiful landscapes.

Essaouira

Also known as “the pearl of the Kingdom” is Morocco’s best known and loved coastal city full of art galleries and antique shops, musicians.

I hope you enjoyed learning a little bit about these beautiful cities. Have a wonderful day.

Hi everyone, I hope you are enjoying your week…

We all know how the stress of daily life can affect our health, job and relationships. For me, a weekend getaway is the break I need so that I can return to my life refreshed and better equipped to handle whatever comes. But planning and packing for a short excursion or weekend trip can be harder than a long vacation. To make things a little easier on me, I pack items that can be worn more than once: a day to evening outfit, neutral palette with mixed colors.

 My essentials for this spring weekend trip (inspirations only):

• One tee-shirt (white or black)
• Short or black skinny jeans
• Gold clutch
• Medium or large bag, this season is all about bright color like yellow
• Black shoes (pumps or high gladiator)
• Sandals (I prefer gold)
• Two necklaces (gold and ethnic)
• A jean jacket or shawl
• A silver bracelet or cuff
• Jersey dress

 Day 1-Friday evening, rest or mingle with the local (same outfit for trip)

 Day 2-Saturday, Shopping and sight seeing  (Day)

(Tee-shirt, black skinny jeans, silver bracelet, yellow bag, black shoes)
