Best of the Week

May 6, 2016

Happy first week of May! We did it! May flowers… I’m totally ready for you. I’ve been 28 for 7 days already and I am still keen on my birthday goals. I’ll share them with you on the blog soon enough. This week was all about my deep-found love for food photography (I can’t say that it’s a ‘new-found’ love because I have always admired it). I’m excited to expand on my knowledge and continuously grow as a food and freelance photographer.

Enjoy your weekend! Here are some links:

My Ventures in Food Photography

May 4, 2016

When I started blogging two years ago, a part of me did it because I had this secret love for photography. Of course, there was the aspect of storytelling and while I always loved putting words to paper, I thought the combination of photographs and beautifully structured sentences made the perfect combination to get my message across to an audience. Blogging was just a natural fit.

Food Thoughts at 28

May 2, 2016

Last week, I mentioned how I’d be celebrating my big 2-8 and now, I can say that I am officially in my late twenties. Yes, you can drop your jaw because I know that I look way younger than my actual age (I’ve gotten used to the comments and reactions after people look at my ID). If you read my first book review, you’d know that growing up, I had a really difficult time with my eating habits. Today, I thought it would be great to share with you my food thoughts since I’ve developed a better relationship with food in general. I have come to terms with body image and the taste of different types of meals and products. It had been a long journey, but now that I appreciate all sorts, it’s great to have a food blog to share every aspect of my evolution with all-things-cuisine. I compiled a list of my “food thoughts,” which ended up being more of a time-travelling diary of things I wish I could have told my younger self.
