Australia Week 1.5
It’s definitely a lot warmer here in Australia than in Italy at the moment. Luckily, the sightseeing has been so enjoyable that it has made the temperatures bearable. We had a lovely time in Byron Bay after a rather challenging night in Brisbane. We stayed in an area near the airport, which I wouldn’t recommend.…

Back in Oz
It’s not actually Australia Day, but it was the only image available that worked for the theme. 😜 As our second visit, it is nice to be back. This time, though, we are going to be seeing more of the country than before. It will actually be a busy tour, but that is part of…

Class Never Ages
It’s award season. 🏆 Whether or not she would agree, I always felt that watching the Grammy’s or Oscar’s was something my mom and I bonded over. Probably, at the time, it never seemed like it meant much to me and over the years, she wouldn’t know that I make a point of watching these…

Year of the Dragon 2024
There are certain cultural elements that I have acquainted myself with as it relates to my Asian heritage.

Bucket Lists
Since our trip to Venice, I have been pondering the idea of “bucket lists” and contemplating the reason I don’t have one – or so I think. For a while, it was all the rage to have a bucket list and people would do something on their list, share it, and feel satisfied that they…

Carnevale di Venezia 2023
Matt has always wanted to go to Venice and I have always wanted to see a proper Carnival experience, so our always wantings merged into the perfect time to go. Away we went for the weekend to see the last weekend of a two-week period where people dress up in various styles of costume and…

Hair – Boxed Braids
Since I had my first haircut and perm, I have been open to trying just about anything with my hair – the only exception being shaving it as I’m not sure on that one just yet. My philosophy is that hair grows back and so there is no need to worry so much about experimenting…

My Valentine’s
It’s hard to believe that just eight years ago, I met my partner in life. While I do not know if there are such things as soulmates, I do believe there are perfect partners at perfect times in life. Perhaps, even there are multiple soulmates in life – sometimes embodied in one individual that one…
