SONDER DESSERT | BRISBANE CAFE

Over the weekend I visited Sonder Dessert cafe, a Japanese tea and dessert house which has the most quirkiest and coolest desserts ever. I must say, visiting Sonder Dessert cafe on a Saturday night around 9:00 PM was not the best idea ever. The line was huge and my best friend and I had to wait outside and there was no free table - it was so pack!! So we decided just to do take away, a order a mini dessert to share! I definitely need to go back again but during the day and try out their teas and other Japanese inspired desserts! 

They  also have a wide range of ice creams and one of the flavours was black sesame (I wonder how that taste like)!!

THE BACH LIVING | INTERIOR INSPO

A few weeks ago, when I visited Jojo's Restaurant and Bar I stumble across this super cute interior store right next to the restaurant called the "Bach Living". The Bach is a New Zealand term for a holiday home by the sea, which has beautiful furniture, homewares and a few fashion items. I thought I would share some images that I took while I was there. I was simply in love with all the furniture and homewares, defintely will be coming back here to decorate my house in the future.

COMINA CANTINA | BRISBANE CAFE

Last weekend, my cousin and I took a trip to Brisbane City to explore for some new and quirky cafes and we stumble across to a place called Comuna Cantina, a Latin inspired street food which offers a range of tacos, arepas and tortas! There was so many yummy food that we couldn't decided for a while which ones to try first. 

In the end, I ordered the Comuna Nachos which consists of corn chips, melted cheese, pico de gallo, black beans and sour cream and my cousin ordered the Abundance Bowl which had quinoa, black beans, mixed salad, roasted sweet potato, cherry tomatoes, crushed tortillas, pickled onion and a light dressing on top of it all! Of course we ordered some Agua Fresca (latin mocktails) which is a traditional drink found on the streets of South America made from local and exotic fruits which our mocktails was made from strawberries, lycées and elderflower syrup!

Have you ever tried South America food before?

MY EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE

Happy April everyone! I thought I would start this month off sharing my evening skincare routine. Over the past month I have changed most of my skincare products such as the moisturiser, toner and cleanser. I promise you that this is not a sponsored post by Avene (even though I wish it was).  I first fell in love with Avene skin care products, since I started using their Avene Cleanser Micellar water and after a couple of months later I decided to change my whole skincare range to Avene products! 

I first remove my make up with using Avene Cleanance Micellar water with a big cotton pad and then I wash my face with water and add a bit of Avene Cleanance Cleansing gel onto the palm of my hands and rub it onto my face. I then use my Clarisonic Mia 2 to remove any make up that I didn't get before and wash my face again. After that, I put some of the Avene Gentle toning lotion onto a cotton pad and dab it onto my face and end the whole process with Avene Hydrance Optimal light hydrating cream. I sometimes at night use the Avene TriAcneal Expert mask and leave it overnight to get rid of any stubborn imperfections residual marks on my face!

The Avene products have been working on my skin so far but I'm always on the hunt for new skin care products. I definitely want to try Drunk Elephant products (heard some many good reviews on them) and also I want to go see a skin dermatologist!

Can you believe it that its nearly the end of March? Which means were so close to Easter 2018!! What are your plans for Easter this year? My Easter break will be mostly me stressing and working on my university assignments and also preparing for my sisters wedding in April!! Anyways, last week when I was shopping at Chermside Shopping Centre in Brisbane, I stop and had a quick break at this quirky cafe - Ivy & Lark Cafe. 

When you walk inside the cafe you will see greenery simply everywhere, honestly it's spilling out on hanging baskets, or growing in stylish and quirky pot plants and also there are interior garden beds!! There are these gorgeous white French doors and beautiful ornate patterned tiles and lovely woven lampshades which creates a refreshing vibe. I ordered basically a hot chocolate with almond milk, which was seriously so yummy and also a vegan chocolate brownie, which was really good too. Ivy & Lark do breakfast and lunch and of course coffees, shakes, teas, smoothies and mocktails! 

I definitely recommend going to this cafe, if you are planning on visiting Brisbane or if you live near by! 

What are your plans for Easter 2018?

JO-JO'S RESTURANT & BAR | BRISBANE

Over the weekend the girls and I brunched at this famous restaurant and bar in South of Brisbane. If you haven't heard of Jo-Jo's Restaurant and Bar before well then... let me tell you! It serves delicious cuisines from all over the world, shared eats, curated wines and delectable cocktails and mocktails too! It's basically where food and culture go hand in hand, sophistication meets warmth and tradition merges with new. 

The atmosphere in this restaurant is super great, really big and spacious and not your typical cramp style restaurant. We got seated straight away on a sunday morning around 11:31AM! But the truth is.. we waited around 15 minutes for someone to serve us and on top of that we also had to wait 45 minutes to get our food, which was a bit disappointing but luckily I wasn't feeling super hungry thanks to the mocktail I ordered.

But I do have to admit the wait was worth it, the food was incredibly delicious! What I ordered was the Lebanese Mix Platter: Toasted Turkish bread served with assorted dips, mixed olives, mini falafel, extra olive oil and balsamic vinegar. The other girls ordered Popcorn Chicken Pizza: cajun chicken, caramelised onion, bacon, mozzarella, rocket and aioli on a BBQ base and lastly the Sweet Potato Burger: Grilled haloumi, basil pesto, grilled capsicum, caramelised onion, spinach and tomato chutney served on a toasted brioche bun with a side of crispy skin chips. 

The drink that I ordered was the Strawberry Virgin Mojito: Strawberry, Lime wedges and Mint leaves. I definitely recommend that anyone who lives or thinks of visiting  Brisbane to check or this restaurant and bar!

THE PERFECT BRONZER FOR SUMMER

Recently, I have discovered this ah-maaay-zing new bronzer for using during the summer days. I've been using this bronzer all summer, it honestly has become one of my favourite bronzers. Don't get me wrong or anything I still love and use my all time favourite Benefit Hoola bronzer but my second favourite would definitely be the Estee Lauder Bronze Goddess bronzer in the shade, light.

This bronzer has a beautiful matte finish and it comes with a curved brush to ease the application when applying to your cheeks and jaw line. I do have to let you know that this bronzer is fairly large in size, and the packaging is very practical and slim and is also very easy to open. The pigment is a sheer to a very buildable medium and I find this perfect for a summer bronze make up look.

What is your favourite bronzer to use?
