The word Alchemy points me to the notion of finding beauty in the ordinary and mundane. It is how I photograph - I strive to find the extraordinary, sometimes in unlikely places. In a recent workshop, I learned that my purpose and passion is to play and explore whatever is wonderful and authentic in this life journey, as well as to encourage and inspire others to do the same. Through this blog, I invite you to come along as I play and explore in my Wonderland!

Sweet Dreams
Tonight, I unpacked some of the boxes as I organized our den into an office when I stumbled upon something that put a big grin on my face - one of my Sweet Dreams romance novels from my early teen years!
I remember cleaning out my old desk years ago and it was hard to part with my collection of teen romance novels. I thought it would be silly to keep them all, but I'm so glad I decided to keep one for memory's sake even though I got rid of the rest.
I don't know if these were popular here in North America at the time, but they were huge in Manila, where I grew up! They were definitely up there as one of my favourite things!
Guess what my bed time read will be tonight? I'm curious to see how I would enjoy this read now, as an adult and almost ready to pop a baby out! Can't wait to be brought back to one of my happy places which I haven't visited in a long while... so excited!
Sweet dreams, everyone!!! =)

A Pregnancy Favourite
Mandarin oranges have been a favourite throughout my pregnancy... ever since the early months when I was getting super frustrated with food and my friend Amy's mom said she loved them when she was pregnant. I decided to give it a try and I was hooked! It was such a relief to find something I like when it seems things I used to like I all of a sudden developed an aversion to.
I didn't have any food problems after my first trimester, but mandarin oranges continued to be one of my favourites. Sooo refreshing!

Pamper Me
It's been a while since I've had any self-pampering... and for the last few weeks, I've been wanting to get some "pamper me" time in. Earlier last week, I called my trusty esthetician for a home service appointment. She's the best!
I love getting spa services done... it's one of my favourite things, but sometimes, it's even better when you can get them done in the comfort of your own home.
Almost four hours later... mani/pedi - check; waxing - check; facial - check! I feel so good! By the way, the colour on my nails is a combination of OPI's Tickle My Fancy and Celebration.
Now, the only thing I have yet to do is book myself in for a massage.
