Disneyland is known to be the happiest place on earth. But when you have the whole family in tow? That’s a next-level experience. It was magical, exhausting, and definitely expensive.  This time, it wasn’t just me and Jan. We brought almost everyone! Our three kids, my mom and sister, alo…

When I packed for Thailand, I already knew that pulling off an outfit would be a struggle. On one hand, I wanted to respect the culture and keep things conservative. On the other hand, Thailand's unforgiving hot and humid weather would want me wear as little as possible. Temples and c…

Jan and I absolutely love Japan. The first time we went there, we stayed for 8 days. And let me tell you, 8 days in Japan is like getting one sushi roll when you want the whole platter. We tried to cram everything in— ramen in Tokyo, temples in Kyoto, USJ in Osaka, deer in Nara, beef burg…

Do you remember the time when I could not be bothered to look good because I paid so little attention to my outfits? Well, my blog does . 😅 Then I realized how making a simple upgrade to my style just made me feel better overall. It does feel empowering, you know. Every outfit that I ch…

Because I am sick and all of my fingers are broken . But if I'm not going to do it now, I'm not going to remember any of it and this will never be written at all.  This is something that doesn't happen often. Thought about writing this to remind us that we survived this ordeal…
