England is known for many famous and iconic landmarks, such as the Palace of Westminster and the Big Ben in Greater London, the Hadrian Wall in the North West region, the White Cliffs of Dover in the South East and so on. But if there’s one landmark that I firmly believe you wouldn’t want to [...]

THAT TIME I VISITED HOGWARTS
In April, a dream that I’ve had since falling for the Harry Potter series came true. I visited Hogwarts. No, an owl did not drop my acceptance letter into my house. And, no, I did not get to take a ride on the enchanting Hogwarts Express. Instead I boarded the Harry Potter emblazoned double decker [...]
IT’S LONDON BABY!!!
The key to tackling the jolly old British capital is to fuel up on caffeine and just GO…GO…GO!!! TRAFALGAR SQUARE We started off at Trafalgar Square since it was literally a stone throw away from our hotel. In the centre of this public area is the Nelson’s Column guarded by four lion statues. Climbing these [...]
NATIONAL HAIRSTYLIST APPRECIATION DAY
I'm remembering summer of 2013 after my first surgery when they were unable to remove my tumor, I was scheduled to start having chemotherapy. I was terrified of course, but more so terrified of losing my hair. You’re probably thinking this should be the least of my worries (and it was), but it's still a [...]

I HEART NEW YORK
New York City exudes an energy like no other city in the world. Each time I visit, I discover new things to experience as I relish the many things that I have delighted in before. But there is always something new. THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE The world’s first steel suspension bridge—is a beloved landmark and a [...]
TAKING A BITE OUT OF THE BIG APPLE
I have been back from NYC for a couple of days now and I’ve got to say, as much as the city was a ton of fun, I’m happy to be home. My tummy is happy to be home too – I think I stuffed it past the point of reason! SHAKE SHACK A Shake [...]
A NEW YORK LOVE AFFAIR
Coming from the Northwest, I know that I have arrived in New York City when the first sights I see are the electrifying glow of Times Square and the hustle and bustle of endless yellow taxi cabs. Usually when I travel to New York, I know I'm going to splurge in a big way. But [...]
RAMEN GIRL
Growing up, my parents introduced ramen to me at an early age...that instant ramen crap. Specifically the red ichiban –probably my first meal I ever learned to cook. As a kid, I didn't know there was a better version of this until I grew up and moved to Seattle. Talk about life changing experience! Up [...]

LIVE LIKE IT’S YOUR LAST
Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) is the day before Lent, on which you live like it’s your last and indulge in the temptations of life. Attending New Orleans’s Mardi Gras had been a dream of mine since college when I met one of my dear friend Chelsea who is from Nawlins. Seeing pictures in magazines and [...]
