My Honeymoon in the USA (New York, Florida, Washington DC)

In this post I'm just going to give a rough outline of my itinerary on the trip. We actually managed to do most of the things on the list whoop whoop! Our second day in Washington DC was kind of messed up because the night before a freaking snow storm happened. It made for a very beautiful morning but it did result in a lot of places being closed the next day. Thank God at least one of the museums in the Smithsonian was open or I would have bleeding cried right there and then.

Oh, I'm super lucky that because my little sister is currently studying there, so I just let her plan everything and she became our tour guide. We paid her with Kinder Beunos and IndoMee. Apparently it is really hard to find Kinder Beunos over there. How depressing, those things are delicious!

We used Google Docs to plan things out. Made things super easy. Everyone could see the plans and edit as they pleased. Thank you Google for making planning a holiday with someone half a world away so much easier.

Below are screenshots of our plans. Enjoy and I hope it'll help, no matter how small in your adventure plannings.

I should tell you that the whole theme of our honeymoon (and sister adventures LOL) was inspired by Gossip Girls. My sister and I love the show and seeing the spots that were in the drama in real life are squeal-worthy moments I will treasure forever. I thank God that He gave me a husband who loves me enough to go on a honeymoon which had a Gossip Girl theme LOL

Qatar Airlines Review :
The check in was smooth though the lines were long because there weren't many counters open. The seats were fairly tight, but the highlight of the flight has to be the food. Everything was delicious! We had a transit in Kuwait and it was the first time I have ever set foot there. While the airport was large and I think recently renovated, it could have been way cleaner and handled guests better (there were people smoking in non-smoking areas!). On our flight back to Japan, we again had a transit in Kuwait and our flight was delayed by a whole day. There was barely any announcements and they did not have anyone manning the counters where we should have gotten our coupons to spend on food in the airport due to the delay. Overall, definitely would not fly with them again.

If you have any questions regarding my travels, just leave a comment or contact me through FB/Line/Twitter and whatever else you can think of. Thank you :)

Review : Clarins White Plus Pearl-to-Cream Brightening Cleanser

Photo from Clarins SG

The claim : The first beauty step towards immaculate skin. This cleansing cream takes the form of a fine, abundant mousse that combines a pleasant texture with the high efficacy of a formula rich in purifying and clarifying plant extracts.

My thoughts : I love this cleanser when it starts to get colder here because my skin starts to go from oily-combination to dry-combination. This cleanser won't leave a tight and plastic feeling on my skin like some cleansers do. My skin feels soft and moisturised after using this. My dry spots become smoother and softer too. It's also pretty good at getting makeup off, though I've never tried washing off waterproof makeup with this. 

I can't say I noticed any brightening(or whitening) effect while using this but that was never my intention when I bought this, anyway.

I definitely recommend this for normal to dry-combination skin. I feel like it would be too creamy for oily skin but that's a personal preference. It also smells lovely, not too scented. This is a high-end product so the price is a little steep but this will last you for at least 4 months, easy. You only need a small pea size of product to get a beautiful creamy foam.
