A picnic doesn’t have to be in your backyard; although there are several great places in the UK to plan a picnic, there are many great spots for picnicking around the world! If you’re planning international travels or would like to visit a local destination for a picnic, these are three of the best destinations to plan the perfect picnic.

Hyde Park is one of the most well-known destinations in London for picnicking, and outdoor enjoyment. A Holocaust and Princess Diana memorial are onsite for those who love historical points of reference, you can swim in Lake Serpentine, or enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride. Planning a picnic for two, or a great time with the entire family, is quite simple at this historic destination.

Central Park in NYC is another popular picnic hotspot. Touring buildings, the backdrop of Manhattan, and an outdoor amphitheater to catch a movie screening at times, are some great perks of picnicking in this park. And, there’s more than enough green-space for tourists and locals alike.

Kowloon Park in Hong Kong is a third international destination for picnic enthusiasts who want to try an exotic destination. If you’re planning a visit to Asia, and Hong Kong is on your list of stops, consider this park for a picnic date. The lakes are occupied by flamingoes and exotic birds for a gorgeous backdrop and there is an indoor sporting facility if you want to engage in games/sports with the family.

Each of these offers their own distinct style, flair, and great scenic aspects picnickers are bound to appreciate and no picnic is complete without the best picnic basket. No matter where you are in the world, or which continent you are planning to visit in the near future, you’re likely going to find a great park or sitting location, where you can enjoy an afternoon picnic for two, or for the entire family.

If you've been reading my blog since last year or if you follow me on my social media accounts, you'll be familiar with what my face went through. I went through the worst breakout of my life! I complain about it on Twitter, Instagram and even on Facebook; to think I barely even post on FB anymore. But at that time, I felt like I just had to because of the frustration and I felt like I'd blow up anytime soon. But anyway, I'm not here to talk about the struggle as if I didn't have the entirety of last yr to do so.

Today, I'm sharing my entire acne journey. Well, not the entire year but in a nutshell, what really happened. From how it started to how I got over it. I'm very sensitive when it comes to this topic because unlike some people, I wasn't really blessed with good skin; blame the genes. But today, I'm baring it all--with photos. They can get pretty graphic so treat this as a warning. If you're going through the same thing, hope this video helps you out. Let me know if you have any questions and I'd be happy to help out. Enjoy the rest of the week! xo

 I usually just go with Samgyeopsal if we're having a Korean night at home but this time I wanted to be a little extra hence all the other add-ons. I'm pretty sure we all have our own unique ways of preparing a korean dinner at home and I definitely want to hear yours! The only downside to going Korean at home would be all the dishes you'd have to wash after because of all the side dishes, lol. But anyway, please share with me how you guys personalize your homemade korean dinners. Looking forward to all your delicious recommendations. Have an awesome week! 

Camping destinations offer something for every adventurer. For some, it is high mountain peaks and hiking trails, other campers simply love a calming appearance and backdrop to enjoy a gorgeous sunset. No matter what your “idea of camping” is, these are three great destinations to consider for your next camping trip, if you have the opportunity to plan them anywhere in the world. (As I don't, lol) 

Devon, England is one of the finest destinations in the world and offers one of the premier camping destinations for camping enthusiasts to add to their bucket list of must-visit destinations. Exmoor and Datmoor offer excellent camping sites, and gorgeous cliffs, valleys, and vistas, offer a wide range of scenic views to choose from.

Mount Cook National Park in New Zealand is a must-visit destination. Landscapes will leave you breathless, and the country’s highest mountain range offers the perfect challenge to skilled hikers. You can’t beat the views from South Island.

The French Alps, a third must-visit camping destination, especially for hiking enthusiasts. Skiers love the destination during the winter months, and hikers flock to the area in spring and summer months for the captivating views. The fresh alpine air, foothills, and scenic at every corner you turn, will make for one of the most gorgeous camping trips imaginable.

There are far too many camping sites to name around the world, for enthusiasts, and individuals who love and want to experience the world’s most iconic destinations and views. If you’re planning a trip to Europe, or a hiking adventure, these are among the top destinations to add to your itinerary around the world. The great weather, hiking and camping sites, and a scenic backdrop for any palette, makes for a truly spectacular trip for your family’s next camping vacation together or the next backpacking trip you have planned.

Remember before you go camping you need to make sure you have all the correct gear for your trip. I would recommend reading some articles on camping in the area you wish to go. Here is one example of a basic camping guide by outdoorser.com. I remember going through all the basic mountaineering boot camp first before I had my first climb in college, being a member of the UP Mountaineers, hehe. It may not look like it but I made it. Anyway point is, be safe always and happy camping!

The Food

Here's what we got : Boneless Bangus (P145.00), Guys on the hood (P160.00), Mama's Kidd (P115.00) and Wings and Rice (P110.00). You guys can actually see the serving size, right?? It's insane! I got the Boneless Bangus and can you just take a good second and look at how huge that Bangus is? It almost occupied the entire freakin plate. I also love the side salad; veggies can't get any fresher than this. Mama's Kidd hasn't changed--it's always been the same since college! For P115 you get chicken, spaghetti, fries, kropek and rice. I wasn't a fan of the wings, I've tasted better. But surely for the price, you still come out a winner. And now, on to the crowning glory of this feast--Guys on the hood! In a plate you get a combination of pork chop, spaghetti, fried chicken, a slice of pizza and rice! Not really sure why they call it guys in the hood though, cause this plate pretty much sums up my appetite lol. 

Would I come back? Always. I mean, it's insane how they can keep the price at a relatively low rate given the price of goods nowadays. The place may have changed and the location may not entirely be the same anymore, but you know it will always be that place that'll give you that fluttering feeling whenever you come in. Memories of my first date with an ex, eating a pancake tower covered in maple syrup; memories of celebrating a little win over my biology exam; memories of bonding with my dorm mates since the old location was just a stone's throw away from my dorm; memories of finally finishing my thesis; and pure, lovely memories of Baguio. So yes, I will always go back.
