This week, I had a taste of what summer is gonna be like. Besides the rain, it has been hot and humid. So I decided to finally use my shortall! Shortalls and overalls are having a comeback! The 90s fashion is back! I remember we call it "jumper" when I was in grade school. Back then, this is how we did it! (For the younger generation who's reading this, yup, I agree, it is a def OMG! lol) All the cool kids always had one strap undone. Or the whole top part is undone!

Cherry Blossoms are the quintessential sign that spring has arrived. Japanese Cherry Blossom trees, also known as Sakura, are among the most impressive & lovely of the cherry blossom tree family. "You're only here for a short visit. Don't hurry. Don't worry. And be sure to smell the flowers along the way." -Walter Hagen I had the amazing opportunity to see the Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Sakura Matsuri Festival 2018 with the generosity of Nivea. I have been in NY for 11 years now. Well, technically less than that since we lived in London for a few years. But it is actually my first time to see the cherry blossoms in the BBG! There are 26 of the species & cultivars represented in Brooklyn Botanic Garden’s Flowering Cherry Collection. To find out & learn more about them, click here . It is time to bare those legs as the weather gets warmer. The cold winter months made our skin dry so we nee...
