I have procrastinated on this review because I wanted to write something longer and more in-depth, but it’s time to accept that that review is not going to happen, because there’s not that much I have to say about the book. I’ve heard about the concept of flow so much that I wanted to read… Read More Book Review: Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
I’ve always had this vague idea that it would be nice to see the lavender fields at the end of my stay in France; it’s something that I’ve talked about with friends. But I never really thought I would be able to do it, since I was moving back around the end of June and… Read More I got to see the lavender fields!
I have no idea why I bought this book. It’s probably a combination of having heard about Trollope and liking the cover. Probably. Anyway, The Warden is the first book of Trollope’s that I’ve read. It’s about two good men – The Warden, who believes that he has done what is right to the men… Read More Book Review: The Warden by Anthony Trollope
I may be back in Singapore but I’m still learning French! After all, ten months in Nice was a great way to start learning and practising French and I don’t want to lose that. So today, I thought I’d talk a bit about how I’m learning French and share some resources that I found useful.… Read More How I’m Learning French
Recently, I reviewed two Numi Teas and noticed that the brand was a certified B Corp company. Well, that reminded me that I’ve not talked about B Corp certifications before and it might be something that’s helpful to know if you’re looking for sustainably grown tea. What is a B Corp Certification? B Corp Certification… Read More SustainabiliTEA: What is B Corp Certification and Why It May Matter
People have been telling me to read this book since 2021. But because I’ve got a long TBR list, and because this book doesn’t sync to my kobo, I’ve procrastinated on reading it. However, after my IRL bookclub/food discussion club chose this as our next book to read, I decided it was time to pick… Read More Book Review: 17A Keong Saik Road by Charmaine Leung
I have read books that talked about Arthur Conan’s Doyle non-author life, like The Man Who Would Be Sherlock, but I never realised how deeply important spiritualism was to him until I read The Witch of Lime Street. And he’s just one of the three main “characters”. The Witch of Lime Street is a detailed… Read More Book Review: The Witch of Lime Street by David Jaher
The title of this post sounds like it could be a video, but I didn’t take any so let me try to set the scene: It’s a Sunday afternoon and I’m meeting a friend who’s been living overseas. After forgetting to bring teas once, I have finally smuggled a few packets into a local teahouse.… Read More I tried 2 Renegade Teas with my Friend
I’m making good progress on the Owen Archer series! I’m really enjoying it, and I don’t really feel the urge to binge it so I can actually pace it out. I mean, I enjoy most of the books I read but it’s a treat to know you have a book you’re certain to enjoy coming… Read More Book Review: The King’s Bishop by Candace Robb
This is, perhaps unsurprisingly, another book I found on Instagram! The lovely AqilahReads talked about this book and it intrigued me so I added it to the TBR list! If you are familiar with the criticisms of social media, not much of this book will be new to you. However, The Insta Food Diet’s food-specific… Read More Book Review: The Insta Food Diet by Pixie Turner
