I Went On A Juice Detox And Here’s What I Learned

Yesterday Gav and I decided to try a La Juiceria one-day juice detox. La Juiceria is a fancy schmancy juice chain in Malaysia, although I get the feeling the concept has definitely been copied from Melbourne or somewhere equally hip. Quite possibly Singapore (although I haven’t been back since a brief layover in 1996, so…

Two Body Shop Favourites: Vitamin E Moisture Cream & Mango Body Butter

I’ve always been a fan of The Body Shop. It’s just always been there. I remember being in the store in Southland as a kid, and being so fascinated by all the delicious scents and “flavours” of products. I also remember when they brought out makeup, and they had these incredible bronzing balls that you…

Dining at Jason’s Food Hall, Bangsar Shopping Centre

Hi friends! Long time no chat. This year, we’ve popped over to Australia twice (because why not? Also, weddings) and I my focus has been slightly sapped. And by slightly I mean totally — I’ve let work get in the way of my creative life once again… and that just does not work for me!…

I have been known to hold onto primary school assignments, Christmas cards (they’re so lovely!), receipts, plane ticket stubs… all sorts of useless…

A Few Delicious Face Shop Goodies

So recently I’ve been missing Korea… a lot. The energy, the food, the people… the beauty. Yes, Korea itself is beautiful, but right now I’m talking about the beauty stores and products which gloriously litter the streets and can be found EVERYWHERE. It’s a beautiful thing.

KL Cuisine #5: Bedrock Cafe, Subang Jaya

A little while ago, I had a real urge to get out of my little expat bubble and try somewhere a bit new. By ‘new’ I mean ‘a nice, clean Uber ride away to still delicious food’. I actually gave Gav my phone to scroll through the ‘Malaysian Cafes’ feed, and he stumbled across an amazing-looking…

KL Cuisine #4: Chilli Espresso, Bangsar South

If there’s one thing I love more than food, it’s… nothing. I love nothing more than food, okay?!? I have recently been thoroughly enjoying eating my way through Kuala Lumpur, and I must say that I’ve become pretty darn good at it. There is one spot in particular that I’ve found does excellent food, consistently,…
