Hello everyoneeeee~
It's so great to be back here! I have recently discovered a series of handmade body scrubs from Achae.com. I am pretty sure that all of us are aware of the importance of exfoliating of our skin to prevent skin looking dull, rough and even dry. Scrubbing our body can actually remove the layer of dead skin cells and even rejuvenate skin hidden layers of grime and dead skin cells that have accumulated during our daily activities. You should definitely continue reading to find out more about the product and tips on how to get fresh and healthy skin :)

You may not heard about 'Achae' but it is a Polish brand which is part of Lethe Co., an online fashion company based in Poland. It was developed in 2016. Apart from body scrubs, Achae offers others beauty products such as body balms, lip scrubs, lip balms and body butter. The best thing of their products is that they are chemical and paraben-free.
There are six different types of scrubs available in store and each of them has specific benefits. You may purchase the specific type of scrub that meet your needs and skin conditions.
Coconut Coffee Scrub- does away with dry, flaky skin. It makes skin silky, smooth and supple like that of a baby's bottom.
Vanilla Coffee Scrub- helps relieve skin dryness, irritation and leaves a healthier, nourished and smoothed skin. It eliminates skin imperfections to make your skin fresh and smooth.
Orange Coffee Scrub- that will refresh your skin. It helps relieve skin dryness, irritation and makes it glow.

Lime Grapefruit Salt Scrub- richness with vitamin C, anti-aging exfoliation which makes skin youthful. Lime and grapefruit oil will leave fresh aroma on your skin. Pink Himalayan salt will exfoliate dead skin and leave your skin smooth and supple.
Green Tea Sugar Scrub- green tea powder improves skin complexion and fight for aging signs that makes your skin smooth and soft. It infuses with grapefruit oil that provide anti-inflammatory on skin.
Check out their packaging. It comes with resealable handy packaging that allows you to bring to everywhere.
My favourite scrub goes to orange salt scrub especially the citrus smell is so refreshing. Apart from that, the Pink Himalayan salt actually does it wonders by removing the dry and flaky skin of mine. It leaves my skin soft and supple right after the first usage especially rough areas like elbows and knees. I'm loving it! <3 p="">
For coffee lovers out there, you should definitely try out their vanilla coffee scrub as the coffee smell is so strong. My friend, who loves coffee claimed that she feels like she already had 2 cups of coffee by just sniffing it. You can totally imagine how strong the smell is.
Treat yourself with your preferred body scrub once or twice a week. Time to say goodbye to dull and rough skin.

TGIF everyone! I come back again with another travelogue! :)
We made a trip to Hitachi Seaside Park during our previous trip to Japan and I purposely marked it as one of the must-visit places in my itinerary for this trip. I have heard so many wonders about this spacious park located in Ibaraki Perfecture. It features a variety of seasonal flower spread out across 190 hectares, a small amusement park and cycling paths. This park is well-known for its baby blue eyes flowers (blue nemophila) in late April to early May and follow by a sea of red kochia in mid October to late November. This time round, I'm there for the red kochia!
You must be wondering what so special about this place?
Scroll down for more and let the pictures below do the talking.

We slowly made our way to the top of the hill and the view was simply breathtaking. The weather was great too.
My mom tryin' to do the hide-and-seek post hehe.
So the daugther follows. Here's kind of my version of hide-and-seek. Gotcha!:)
Cosmos but not in full bloom yet :(
Miharashi Hill, where the Kochia bushes were planted.
I get quite disappointed with this view as I thought it would be in the shade of crimson. Here's a kind reminder, make sure you keep your eyes peeled to the official website to get more instant information about the bloom schedule a.ka the flower calendar as the staffs will make timely updates.
Click here for more info.
How to get there?
Hitachi Seaside Park is located at Hitachinaka, approximately 1.5 hours away from Tokyo. We have selected the shortest route from our airbnb apartment, which is a train ride from JR Gotanda Station to Ueno station. From there, we took JR Joban line to Katsuta station (approximately 70 mins), hop on Ibaraki Kotsu bus no.2 (depart every 15 minutes) and alight at Hitachi Seaside Park.
Local train from Ueno station to Katsuta station - 2270 yen
Bus from Katsuta station to Hitachi Seaside Park - 400 yen
Opening hours vary from season to season so make sure you double check the opening hours before you plan a trip there.
0930 to 1700 (March 1 to July 20, September to October 31)
0930 to 1800 (July 21 to August 31)
0930 to 1630 (November 1 to February 28)
Entrance of Hitachi Seaside Park.
You are required to pay an entrance ticket for 410 yen per pax.
Goodbye Hitachi Seaside Park and till we meet again. When will be next? Probably when baby kochia shrubs turn into the shade of crimson?

Osaka! It's your turn now!
Opps! I guess I'm getting a lil bit overly egg-cited over food post and I literally forget to greet anyone of you who is reading this.
Ohaiyo everbody!
As the title suggests, this post is all about foods..foods..foods.. Are you ready for it? Don't say I never warn ya, please don't read this if you hungry. All of the foods will definitely make you drool even I myself feel damn hungry by simply looking at all of the photos. *slrrppppppp* Apart from being able to experience different cultures and get to know well about the foreign country, I guess the other major thing that I wouldn't want to miss in every of my trip is all about hunting for scrumptious foods. I mean who doesn't love foods right? Plus how can you just go home without having the chance to try out the authentic Japanese ramen or sushi?
If you're foodie like me! Let's scroll on?

Jiyuken 自由轩
Jiyuken offers the best yet special curry rice in Japan. The rice is smothered in curry sauce with a raw egg on top. Add a dash of Worcester sauce and you are good to go!

Daruma Kushikatsu (元祖串炸)
You shouldn't miss Daruma whenever you're in Osaka as they offer the best Kushikatsu in town. If you think that deep fried things on skewer is not impressive enough, you're probably wrong. My piece of advice to you is that you must give this a shot and it will definitely overwrite your impression towards deep fried stuffs. Cause you gotta love it yo!
The counter-seating area.
Ordered the Dontonburi Mix Kushikatsu Platter, that has 9 skewers in total for only 1400 yen. I can only recalled there was quail egg, shrimp, cheese nugget, asparagus and meatballs in the mix.

Ippudo Ramen (一风堂)
When you googled about Best ramen in Japan,is either Ichiran or Ippudo will pooped out in your page.
And now you ask me which one is the best and I love it the most? My answer for you is Ippudo. Even though I used to be a big fan of Ichiran but after my first attempt to try out Ippudo, I'm totally in love with Ippudo. The broth was so thick but not oily. slrpppppp.

Right outside Takashimaya, Namba. It was our second last day there, basically doing our last minute shopping.
The well-renowned Glico Running Man sign. We were so lucky to be able to see it at day & night because our Air B&B apartment is just a stone away from Shinsaibaishi.
Let's run! Baby! Run!
Hokkyokusei Omu rice (北极星蛋包饭)
I've ordered this omu rice served with japanese beef curry. *Nom*
The pipping hot fried rice is enveloped in the fluffy omelette. Who can resist this?!?!
Mom's mentaiko omu rice.
Traditional tatami seating area. As you can see that the shop is famous among local and tourists as the shop was already half occupied once the shop opened at 1130am. And guess what, we were one of the first 5 customers cause we started queue since 1100am.
Let's eat!
