Carrot: 75g
Set up
Started vacuuming
Started mixing
Done
I need to press one button to start a cycle.
I put together with skin, but the smoothie is nice and smooth.
I want to try other recipes and will try making my own!!
I received two products which I ordered last Saturday night.
My camellia oil for hair is about to finish so I ordered Moroccan Oil.
This oil has been on beauty magazines for quite some time; must be good.
I also received a smoothie maker: TESCOM TMV 1100.
This smoothie maker is unique, it’s a vacuum smoothie maker.
There won’t be any air in a cup to oxidize the smoothie; therefore, smoothie will be FRESH and we can KEEP the smoothie fresh.
I can make it at night and enjoy it next morning.
How nice!
I wanted to try a smoothie tonight; but I had no energy after gym.
I will study a manual book and recipe book in a bed Zzzz
I’m about to finish it.
This is camellia oil which is Japanese almighty traditional beauty item for hair and skin.
Since it’s showing its presence for many years, I thought this product isn’t cool.
However, I was wrong.
My hair is thin so it tends to expand during winter because now I’m trying to keep my hair long (my hair itself is dry) and air is dry, especially during winter.
I couldn’t control my hair with hair lotion and wax.
I reached this sample bottle…it works.
Now I value the camellia oil differently – cool.
I’ll be away for few days so needed to clear my refrigerator.
I don’t want to waste vegetables; therefore, I made a power vegetable juice.
I think the recipe is good: a lots of spinach, celery, parsley and lemon.
And I think this is good because it was BITTER…
I took Marine Express Odoriko Go.
I was surprised because the coach is Narita Express (an express train for Narita Airport).
Is it recycled…? Reused…?
A seat is dressed for Marine/Izu Peninsular to stimulate our holiday spirit.
After 2.5 hour journey, I arrived at Izu Atagawa Station.
I didn’t know there is a hotel shuttle bus waiting for us; I was about to miss it.
Luckily, I spotted it and waved to stop the bus.
According to Google Map, it’s only 6 mins walk from station to hotel; but Nooooo, it’s much farther.
Once again, luckily, I managed to catch a hotel shuttle bus. Fuuuuu
Our room is spacious.
Left door leads us to a toilet, washroom and bathroom.
Right door is a storage.
And fusuma (the main sliding door)…
We went to get a Welcome Drink (Hot Yuzu citrus Honey) at a hotel coffee shop.
Then changed into yukata (I could pick yukata design) to take a bath.
It was nice to dip into an open-air bath overlooking Sagami Wan (Sagami Bay).
Okay, burned few calories and refreshed by taking a bath; READY TO EAT!
I had a glass of Sapporo draft beer produced at nearby Shizuoka Factory.
Beer must be fresh; it was clear and smooth!!
And…
After dinner, I became so full; my body is still warm from dipping in hot spring…ready to sleep…
Oyasuminasai
I returned from Canada; surely I over ate.
I made a glass of juice (carrots, apple, parsley and lemon.
Hopefully, this will cleanse my body.
In the afternoon, I went to beauty salon and a bodywork.
It was a maintenance day.
Tonight, the rainbow bridge is lighted in rainbow colour. Lucky.
I’m in Vancouver now; I’ll write about my short trip to Canada.
First, I started enjoying my trip shopping cosmetics at Narita Airport.
It’s Year-End and I just cleared old make-ups from my make-up box.
Unfortunately, I couldn’t get an eye shadow that I was eyeing on because it was sold out.
However, according to a sales person, I might be able to get it at other places such as duty free shops at other countries or department stores in Tokyo. Ahhhhh
I didn’t get the one I wanted, but I managed to get others and very happy about it. fufufu
This is my first time to travel by Air Canada.
It is nice! Absolutely nice!
A seat and facilities are nice, it’s totally flat and look at a headphone!
I watched few movies with it.
Movies are Anthropoid (I didn’t know that Czech people had a hard time during WWII) and Mogan (British-American Science Fiction Horror movie).
Food and drinks are good.
I tried Canadian wine: Peninsula Ridge VQA, Cabernet Shiraz, Canada.
It’s nice!
Appetizer was smoked tuna.
Main dish was sautéed chicken.
Fresh fruit and cheese (I was convinced to have cheese. Canadian cheese are nice!)
And cheese cake for dessert.
Then, I had seafood paelia for breakfast.
After 9 hours of flight, I landed Vancouver!
I just had breakfast on the flight, but due to the delay of arrival, it’s time for our lunch… we went to lunch…
Lunch was at the nice dining place, the Granville Island Hotel.
It’s nice cod…if I were hungry, I would enjoy it more.
After lunch, went to Granville Island Market.
Market always excites me!
Then went to the Totem Pole Park in the Stanley Park to admire the Downtown Vancouver.
I could view Canada Place (this building was the Canada Pavilion for the World Expo), floating Gas Station (a gas station for yachts and flying boats) and high-rising buildings at the city of Vancouver.
Can you find a flying boat?
Floating Gas Starion Cheveron.
Canada Place
Totem Poles
Tonight, Staying at the Empire Landmark Hotel.
After settling down in a room, I went to a nearby supermarket.
Actually, it’s not an ordinal my supermarket…because it’s the Whole Foods Market…
I bought those for myself… because this supermarket emphasize on health and beauty.
This supermarkets sell beauty products as well.
I’ve been eating all day, but it became time for dinner.
A restaurant is located on 42F of the hotel and it rotates.
I can see whole Vancouver from this restaurant.
Nice panorama Vancouver views and candle light dinner are absolutely romantic, but it aren’t help me to take photos of food.
You might not see it, but these are delicious.
If you are looking for a place to dine in Vancouver, you should consider here.
I had a long day by spending the same day twice.
It’s time for me to go to bed.
Oyasuminasai.
One of my colleagues is retiring in December.
We organized a gathering at her favorite lunch place: SAL (buffet lunch at the Imperial Hotel).
It’s nice sunny day and the town is in nice Autumn color.
I’m going to miss her; we promised to keep in touch.
Lunch was great.
I knew my gym trainer gets upset if I skip a session tonight after overeating like this.
Well, he tortured me tonight.
I knew my body is stiff, but he concluded my tendon is stiff after stretching my body.
He kept on pushing the point and it hurt so much!
But after the session, my legs feel light…hummmm
If my body is stiff; I should take a nice bath.
I like KNEIPP Gute Nacht.
I found this set.
The package includes a small bottle of Sakura bath salts which is not available in the Japan market and rose organic moisturizing oil for the price of one KNEIPP.
I tried Sakura bath salts tonight and I feel relaxing now.
Oyasumi
Ate a power breakfast at Invito Hotel before heading for Langkawi.
Took a Malinda Air to Langkawi.
Yeah, Langkawi!
We stayed at the Dayang Bay Resort.
I had a nice ocean view.
The room is simple, but cozy.
We went to Malay traditional body massage and I highly recommend this Spa, the Bellies Spa.
We went to dinner.
We are advised Chinese restaurant Pat Poh by a taxi driver; but I don’t recommend this restaurant.
I think we were ripped off coz we are foreigners.
Quality is not there, but food is expensive!
It wasn’t worth taking a photo, so I didn’t take any.
I warn you, don’t go to Pat Poh!
My friend visited me and we had lunch at their favorite food at favorite place: fresh seafood at Tsukiji.
Tsukiji de Kaisendon (I had a bowl of seafood at Tsukiji).
It was so fresh! Yammy
And they gave me their products: Tanamera Spa products.
These Malaysian spa products are so natural and tropical!
Please look for Tanamera Spa when you visit Kuala Lumpur and Langkawii, Malaysia.
Tonight, I tried their Hibiscus Scrub; it has nice spicy aroma and I feel like I just had a good massage after scrubbing my body with it.
This product must have some essential oil because my skin is moist.
I cannot wait to use Tropican Pandan Bath Powder, serum and Neroli essential oil.
Thank you for thinking of me!
XOXO
I was tired of typing.
I needed to have some late afternoon snacks: sugar… (T_T)
I went to magma (stone) spa to cancel out these late afternoon snacks.
