    Hong Kong Wandering

    August 21, 2018 /

    Today’s travel post about my trip to Hong Kong is a bit different because on this particular day there wasn’t anything in particular we had planned to do or see. We just walked around, ate at multiple stops, shopped a little, and tried to avoid the rain. It was a slower paced day, which was nice since we’d been going nonstop for so much of the 2 week vacation. We started out the day in Causeway Bay for a really good lunch at Pepper Lunch – a chain at a food court – and then did some more shopping before heading over to Wan Chai for freshly made chips and…

    Wan Chai + Pool Time in Hong Kong

    August 19, 2018 /

    Monday was a slower paced, more relaxing day in Hong Kong. We took the MTR one stop to Wan Chai to do some shopping – primarily food/dried goods shopping. My parents wanted to stock up on things that are either hard to get or you can’t get in the States and I got some snacks for myself and gifts for others. Then, we took the ding ding to Causeway Bay because my dad had lunch plans with old school friends. I didn’t get any shots outside, except for one across the street from Times Square. While my dad was at lunch, the rest of us went to do some more…

    I’m now back in the States and writing from New Jersey! I had a great 2 weeks in Japan and Hong Kong. Luckily, I still have a few travel posts to write up so I can relive vacation and forget that I’m going to work on Monday. On Sunday, the day started off a little cloudy with some on/off rain. We took the MTR over to the Central District for a dim sum lunch with family in one of the Exchange Square buildings. After trying to get there early so we could walk around the big mall next door and being unsuccessful, we had a delicious lunch which I’ll show…

    Rainy Hong Kong Day + Lei Yue Mun

    August 16, 2018 /

    Saturday was another on/off rainy day in Hong Kong, but we didn’t let that slow us down. As mentioned in previous posts, Hong Kong is made up of different islands. We took a taxi to Lei Yue Mun, which I knew was across the harbor since we took a tunnel there, but I wasn’t sure exactly where it was. My dad said something to me about being by an inlet, but I looked it up on Google and learned that it’s a short channel separating Hong Kong Island and Kowloon. It’s also a fishing village, which I knew since we were going there specifically for a seafood lunch. While there…

    August 14, 2018 /

    On Thursday, I woke up at 4:30am and got ready to get picked up for the airport. I flew from Tokyo to Hong Kong in about 3-4 hours. Once through security, my family and I did some duty free shopping, got some food in the ANA lounge, and relaxed a bit before our flight. The flight was delayed due to the bad weather from the typhoon, but luckily it was only delayed an hour. The flight was pretty comfortable and didn’t feel that long. Definitely not as long as my initial flight from New Jersey to Tokyo and not as long as my flight home from Hong Kong is going…

    Last Day in Japan

    August 12, 2018 /

    I’m almost halfway through my trip to Hong Kong and I’m just getting to writing about my last day in Japan! As mentioned yesterday, my last day in Japan was pretty rainy. A typhoon was headed in the direction of Tokyo so most of Saturday was pretty wet. The hotel lent out umbrellas to guests and I also bought a $5 rain jacket in the convenience store. The jacket is actually really well made and a thick plastic so it’s reuseable. It has a hood and buttons up! It really did the trick on my last day in Japan and I’ve used it in Hong Kong too! Best $5 ever!…

    As I write this it is Wednesday evening and I’m relaxing in my hotel room in Tokyo hiding from the rain and having just woken up from a nap. I haven’t been feeling well the past day and a half and I think I caught a cold. So the rainy weather caused by a typhoon on its way was the perfect excuse to spend the latter part of the day indoors. Plus, I have to be up at 4am tomorrow for my flight which I hope still takes off! But this post isn’t about the weather or my cold – well okay, it’s a little about the weather because it…

    As promised yesterday, I’m back with day 2 of my weekend trip to Kyoto while I vacation in Japan. Day 1 was very tiring because of the extreme heat and lack of air conditioning on the bus, but the sights in Nara were worth it. I’m pleased to say that Day 2 was filled with other beautiful and awe inspiring sights and included buses with air conditioning! This will also be another picture heavy post because we saw so many beautiful sights. There also may be a picture or two that are mislabeled because when I was going through them I lost track of the order and some of the places…

I am obsessed with this book, It Happened One Summ I am obsessed with this book, It Happened One Summer. Like in a - I reread pages and chapters while reading it - kind of way. I’ve been wanting to read a Tessa Bailey @tessabaileyisanauthor book for a while and knew I wanted this to be the first one. I remember commenting on one of @bookedtildawn ‘s posts about it and she told me you can’t go wrong with Tessa Bailey and she was right!! 💖

Piper Bellinger is a rich socialite from LA, but when she throws an illegal party after a breakup and gets arrested, her stepfather has had enough. He sends her for 3 months to Westport, Washington - the town she was born in - to live in an apartment above her late fisherman father’s former bar and learn responsibility. But she has no memories of living in Westport and has never had to take care of herself. She’s not above learning how to (which I loved about her!) - she just doesn’t know how to do certain things. Enter Brendan Taggart, the grumpy sea captain and native of Westport. When he first meets Piper he thinks she’s going to be more trouble than she’s worth but he quickly finds that even he can’t help but want to help the bubbly Piper out in her new town. Can the two make it work when they come from different worlds? 💖😍💖 My full review is on the blog today ✨

Add this to your summer reading if you like: romcoms with spice and the grumpy sunshine trope! 🛥☀️💙

Also, if you missed it this is going to be a movie and I can’t wait! 😍 🌊

Also, it’s the last day of work before summer break (minus having to be here 2 more days for graduations). Keep reading to find out why I hope this summer is better than last! ✨

Last year, I went out to eat with coworkers after the last day of school, then went to urgent care, and then spent the rest of my summer in and out of doctors, the hospital for tests, had surgery 3 days before my birthday, recovered, and got my stitches removed the day before I had to go back to work. Let’s hope for a better summer this year!! 🤞🏼☀️

When I tell you this book had me laughing out loud, I’m not lying! 🤣 The Unhoneymooners was a hilarious enemies to lovers romcom. I may not have been in Maui while I read it but I did have palm trees on this top, my lemon and lime acrylic earrings, and I made pina coladas! 🌴 🏝💖🍹🍍📚📖

✨The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a beautifu ✨The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue is a beautiful, sweeping novel that spans over 300 years. 📚

Born in a small village in France, Addie longs for a bigger life. An old woman she befriends teaches her about the old gods and tells her she can pray to any of the gods but never to the ones who answer after dark. At 23, she runs away from the wedding she is being forced into and prays for an escape. The only one who answers is one of those gods who answers after dark. A deal is struck and Addie can have an immortal life of freedom as long as once she is done she lets the god have her soul. The other catch? No one will ever remember her. Is a life of total freedom worth an eternity of loneliness and never being remembered? ✨

I loved the novel but have definite strong feelings about the ending! If you have read it feel free to reach out so we can discuss! My review is on the blog today 📖 ✨
