Our wedding rings

Our wedding rings

July 2014. I can’t believe that it has been a year since then. A lot have happened since we bought our 2nd set of wedding rings back then.

A lot of adjustment had to be done and reshuffling of time tables for everyone.

R has been relocated and is currently working overseas and we have been shuttling between two different countries  to ensure that we can spend time together as a family and a couple.

I’ve  started a new venture this year  by becoming a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant. We have both  taken on new roles in our career progression and added new responsibilities as we strive for constant growth.

We have been keeping busy. He with his job and pursuing his interests while I’ve been pursuing my interests too while taking care of the kids.

It hasn’t been easy being apart and there has been many trying moments which we had to iron out with each other.  ( Hopefully creases will not reappear after all the ironing) 😛

It is certainly more tiring having to run two households across the Asian continent then just focusing on one.

Even though R and I have  limited time to spend together,  we make it a point to engage in couple activities when we get the chance.

The last time that I was in Taiwan  on a couple holiday we  made our own rings and it was a really nice experience.

 

Looking at these two set of rings it is evident that even though we do have our own unique personality which shines through the similarities that we have.  We are the same yet at the same time different.

How different has it been for you
since last July?

How I spend my ME-Time

My Summer Weekend Look

My Summer Weekend Look

Spending time by myself for myself is something that I’ve been working on this year.  Focusing on me myself is one of the things that I’ve listed down in my resolutions for  2015.

This is a year for my personal growth and change. I’m focusing on myself more and learning how to beautify myself inside and out.

When I do get pockets of time for myself I indulge in the following.

Renew your Wows

1) Reading. 

I love reading and I’m sure you would know that too seeing the number of book reviews that I do here on this blog. My current reads are books on Parenting, Spirituality, Marriage  and the languages- French and Japanese.

2) Learning new makeup techniques and the latest trends.

Being a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant I need to keep up to date with the latest trending makeup and dress styles so that I can advise my clients accordingly.  When one looks and feels good nothing cannot be overcome.

3) Blogging and Writing

I’m a person who enjoys penning down my thoughts in words. It makes it easier for me to process what I am focusing on and share it with everyone else.  It has been harder getting time for this activity as time is more limited these few days with increasing family and work commitments.

4) Watch Korean/Taiwanese Drama Online.

With the TV permanently fixed on Disney Channel or other kids channels I get my regular fix through watching  Korean Drama series online during my free moments. I like the fact that they can be put on pause anytime and I can continue watching where I stopped.

Anyone also indulging in these series- Orange Marmalade, Scholar Who Walks the Night,  Save the Family and When I see you Again?
