For sure I am a travel addict. I am also lucky to have studied, worked and lived in various places around the world. My current stop is Singapore which is an excellent base for discovering South East Asia, a region full of hidden gems, diverse cultures and natural beauties. But I am no touristy-site hopper: when I travel, I try to look for small things, easily overlooked corners and places that are off the beaten paths. Small towns and cities are my favourite. It is in such places that you will find the most authentic food, untainted by the need to internationalize and commercialize, identify the unique aspects in the local way of life, and of course, meet the most friendly people who make your experience unforgettable. And I would rather spend more time in less places so as to give myself enough time to have a feel for whatever places I go to.

Interestingly, the more I travel overseas, the more I realize how little I knew about my country (I come from Vietnam), hence the need to go home and discover. Have you ever felt the same way? These days I try to make use of my limited holidays to explore what Vietnam has to offer. A highlight of this blog will thus be my travel experience in Vietnam and I hope it will be useful to travellers like yourself.

Enjoy!

Upcycle mason jars into organizer

Saturday, October 12, 2013

I am back with another upcycle idea. My boyfriend has been consistently buying Prego pasta sauce which comes in round jars.



It annoys me to see empty jars accumulate at the kitchen sink, unwashed, until the day I came up with a way to get rid of them. They do actually look quite neat if stacked together horizontally. Blue tack is great for securing them together.

And the result is an organizer great for storing jewellery, stationery, and other miscellaneous items.

Now the jar organizer sits proudly on my dressing table.
