It's been forever since I have updated my blog and I apologize for that. After I left Greece we went to Switzerland for 2 days to see family. From Switzerland we went to Sri Lanka for 4 days, then to Dubai for 4 days and then back in Sri Lanka for 3 days. Then we go to London for 4 days then to my home town NY, then to Tampa to see family and then FINALLY back home to California.. Traveling has been a super fun , but it was a super long trip. The packing and unpacking has officially gotten to me, bc not only do I pack myself, but I pack my Husband as well. I still have a bunch of pics from Greece I need to post and a bunch from Sri Lanka and Dubai. We were going to stop in the Maldives after Sri Lanka for our Honeymoon but it is their rainy season, so we will wait to do a romantic honeymoon trip.
Sri Lanka is beautiful although I haven't seen outside of Colombo which is the city and capital of Sri Lanka. I really wanted to go to the Elephant Orphanage- but its about a 3 hour drive up from Colombo and doesn't look like it is going to happen this trip.
Dubai I have been before and I love it there; The culture really interests me. We stayed at the Burj Al Arab, which is the only 7 star hotel in the world ( not sure if it still is at the moment or not ). The temperature was probably 100 degrees but dry. Alki and I went to the beach everyday; the water was like warm bath water- so amazing yet refreshing. I did however get sick while I was in Dubai.. some sort of food poisoning I think and when we got back to Sri Lanka I went to the hospital to make sure everything was ok. Its really scary going to a hospital in a foreign country- you don't really know what to expect. After having an IV and 3 different meds injected into it our bill came to..... $15.. Can you believe it.. Here in the states that would have cost at least $1500.00.
Anyway, I'm doing better.. not 100%, but better and if Im still feeling sick Ill go to a Dr when I'm back home in California.
I also wasn't posting as much on here because I only have 1 bag of clothes with me, and everything I have worn I've posted- it's more fun when Im home and have new outfits to post and show and talk about... Daily Mirror Pics and travel pics as well as some new Additions I've picked up along the way i'll post in a separate blog post.
PS. Missoni for target went on sale yesterday and sold out everywhere. Their website even crashed- Shame I wont have any goodies to blog about- But I can' wait to hear reviews :)

I dont have many pictures from London. I was pretty busy setting up shop in one of our homes that we just had fixed up. We will be spending alot more time there next year and alot had to be bought and done. Simple things like blow dryers and soap we didnt have. We would normally stay in a Hotel since the house wasnt done- but we finally "moved" back in and it was so nice starting fresh.
YAY!!!! Back to my Home Town New York.. I am currently here but leave tomorrow for florida to see some more of my Family. NY is beautiful right now, I can't believe how warm it is. Not many pics from here yet but will post some in my next post of * New Additions*.

ReplyDeleteur vacation looks amazinggg! You and your husband match each other so well! My boyfriend will be going to Dubai soon for work and I cannot wait to visit him there, looks like absolute BLISS!! Thank you for sharing your adventures and your great finds i love your DMP. I think you are so HUMBLE!
ReplyDeleteOne of my fave quotes is " Be grateful for what you have so you can have more things to be grateful for" and I think that defines you! You seem very grateful for everything you have and you absolutely deserve it!
<3 Blerta
LOVE the blog as usual! Been checking out your pics on twitter until you made it! :) Glad it was soo amazing! Awesome that you will be spending more time in England (my land ehe) you should definitively check out Oxford (my home town) its beautiful and full of history..rubbish for shopping except the discount designer village just outside of it! Also Cornwall (my current town aha) is a super cute sea side town as well!!!! I guess Alki coming from England he will know all about it!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to the next blog :)

ReplyDeleteAmazing!!!!!!!!! If only people knew how incredible it is to learn as you travel instead of learning Geography and World Culture from books :-) Traveling makes life more meaningful. I started traveling at a very young age. I never did anything this luxurious like you did, but getting to see places and learning about them has made me the person I am today:-)
ReplyDeleteYou are gorgeous Jen! Looks like you've had a fantastic vacation! I can't wait for your new swimwear collection to come out! Also, you should totally do another makeup tutorial! I always love those!

Wow great post! All of the countries you visited look so beautiful and I totally agree, it's very fulfilling to experience new things with the one you love. It's really nice of you to share your experiences with your blog readers. I read some stupid comments about you on a trashy website, ugh! All I can say is that they are all just jealous, trust me I've dealt with that type of crap myself. You have a wonderful life and it shows that you really appreciate everything. But hey, ok to show off once in a while lol! By the way, I checked out your plastic surgery section for advice before I got my boobs done over the summer! Much love, Jessie <3
ReplyDeletelooks like you had fun! i always loved your posts...please keep them coming and CONGRATS on your marriage!

Well, Missoni for Target...I couldn't make it to Target b/c I was home in bed with a stomach bug but my Mom went and scored some stuff for her and I! I can't believe the madness!

ReplyDeleteHow did you stay in shape on your long honeymoon? Any tips?
Congratulations on your marriage, I loved the wedding posts. I was also wondering how long you have been with your hubby, before you got married?

ReplyDeleteDear Jen,
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your life with us. The glamorous yet normal seeming life. I adore the hotel photos and the airplane and food pix. Of course the outfit photos and make up and everything. You have an innate sense to seem to know what is really interesting. Keep up the good work. It is unreal how freaking gorgeous you are. Thanks for posting your real weight. Now I have a real goal.
Jen, I have really missed your posts.... Where have you been? Ok, I wanted to ask you if you are familiar to fillers for under-eyes hollows (juvederm or restylane?). i would love to hear your opinion about that. I hope to see a new post soon. kisses
ReplyDeleteHi love the blog! Was wondering if you would ever put some pics of your closet up? Your clothes are fab would love to see the closet!
ReplyDeleteI'm considering to visit LA during december and would love if you could put a list of places that are you'd recommend to go to for shopping, spas, makeup, hair etc.. This way I can come back to NY with a fresh new look, I'm kinda getting stale over here with everything.
