Whenever I’m back in down under, I’ll spend hours in pharmacies and health stores, checking out their organic products, skincare and natural foods. Australia has lots to offer when it comes to organic skincare and treatment including those for acne treatment or problematic skin.

It always feels like home to be back in Australia and I can’t wait to be back again.

I’ve been telling all my friends about the great cruising experience we had with the Norwegian Cruise Line since we returned. Opposed to lots of critics and negative remarks, we thought the Pride of America was a wonderful cruise liner to sail with. We enjoyed the itinerary and various ports of call, the food, service and facilities. One of my favourite things was to wake up in the morning and sit at the balcony whiling enjoying some ocean breeze.

Of all the ports of call, I enjoyed Kona and Maui though Kauai was nice too. Hilo was abit gloomy that day and we didn’t catch any rainbows at the falls. Kona is a nice village to walk around and spend a lazy afternoon with lots of surf shops ready to entice the ardent shoppers.

Here are some of the photos taken in the cruise ship and various ports of call… you can see that our little three year old was having a real good time!

It feels good to be on holiday - the feeling is wonderful, the mind relaxed and my muscles less tensed. I took lots of pictures of our trip everyday with focus on my little boy and some details which I would share in my blogs. Read the rest of this entry »
