What to Expect on a Hammam (Turkish Bath) in Istanbul

BonBon April 16, 2024 Leave a Comment

We stumbled upon the enchanting world of Hammam during our adventures in Morocco a few years back, and boy, did it leave us spellbound! We did it with our kids (8 and 9 yr old), and the rejuvenating treatments captivated us, making us want to experience it again. So, while in Istanbul, we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to immerse ourselves in this age-old tradition once again. This time, why not go for a bit of history? So we dive into the legendary Hagia Sophia Hurrem Sultan Bathhouse or the Ayasofya Hurrem Sultan Hamami. It preserved its unique structure for 450 years, opened a new era in Turkish Bath architecture, and has the title of the first structure where women and men sections are on the same axis. Our experience was like stepping into history in a world of luxury and pampering fit for an emperor and/or empress!

Enchanted by Salzburg

BonBon February 14, 2024 2 Comments

I have wanted to visit Salzburg since I first watched the Sound of Music. It has captured my heart! Nestled against the Austrian Alps, it is as if nature herself has painted a masterpiece – it’s beautiful no matter where you look. It is a captivating city that blends Baroque charm with a rich musical legacy. The birthplace of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and the old part of town is like a special place frozen in time. Salzburg enchants visitors with its UNESCO-listed Old Town, cobblestone streets, historic architecture, and the lush surroundings of the Salzach River.

I finally got the chance to visit Salzburg with my family in 2019, and we fell in love with it! It was even better than I imagined. Exploring the city together was so much fun.

Enjoying Salzburg with the family!

We climbed up to the Hohensalzburg Fortress for a breathtaking view of the city and strolled through Mirabell Gardens, feeling like we were part of a fairy tale. The food was amazing too – we couldn’t get enough of the delicious pastries and hearty Austrian dishes. We couldn’t pass up the chance to go on the Sound of Music Tour, which was an absolute highlight of our trip. It was a journey filled with unforgettable memories, and Salzburg will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Salzburg, where music fills the air!

New Year. Improved Me.

BonBon January 14, 2024 Leave a Comment

Embracing the New Year brings with it a sense of renewal, and for me, it’s not about an entirely “New Me” but rather an improved version of myself. I am a mother striving to be the best version of myself!

I am recently committed to preparing healthy, protein-rich breakfasts and school lunches for my kids. YES… I know! Most of my friends know that I love my sleep in the morning, and it is my husband who wakes up early to usher our children into their morning routines while I was the driver for “mom’s taxi service”. However, the tides are turning this year, and I am embracing change with open arms. It may seem like a small change, but I know it will make a big difference in their lives. Read More

Mexico Family Adventure

BonBon July 8, 2023 7 Comments

This summer, we embarked on a fun adventure to Mexico’s Riviera Maya, together with my husband’s family visiting from Portugal. My husband and I wanted to offer them a wonderful Mexican experience, so we thought that staying  at one of the all-inclusive resorts in Riviera Maya is the best option, where we can all just relax, enjoy the beach and neighboring towns, and savour delicious meals without the hassle of venturing out for food. Our week-long trip was filled with adventures and quality family time, leaving us with cherished memories for a lifetime.

Adventure awaits to those who dare!

Things We Love

Online Gaming… Mama’s thoughts!

BonBon March 31, 2023 2 Comments

I have two kids who love to play online games most of their free time. And, as an old school Mom, I have been against it for the longest time. However, my husband has been lenient about it, ensuring their games are safe and age-appropriate. And as time went by, I embraced some of its benefits and sometimes played cool online games myself. HA! Parents must understand online gaming to encourage their kids for safety and healthy habits in terms of technology.

We are all aware that online games are a form of entertainment; in today’s age, it is inevitable for kids not to be able to play one or two. With adults’ support and guidance, online gaming can benefit children in developing their logical thinking, building creativity, and (believe me or not) strengthening friendships (it is a whole new world, after all). However, it shouldn’t replace human interaction and physical activities. I am still an old-school mom who wants their kids to go to playgrounds, meet with friends, go to malls, hang out in the backyard, and do all the fun outdoor activities. Read More
