Every time my friends and I visit a cafe, I always have matcha latte or coffee in my order. Some people aren't a fan of green tea but on the contrary, I fell in love with it the moment I tasted it. You might as well say that I'm slightly addicted to it. From the green tea version of kitkat to any pastries, green tea will always be one of my favorite flavor.

To share to you my love for it, I have here a very easy recipe on how I make my own matcha latte. I usually have a cup when I want to feel relax. You may have this hot or cold but I usually drink mine while it's hot.

For this recipe,you will only need four ingredients:

Hey guys! I hope you are having a really good time! one of the things that I love as a year get started is having to give myself a really good time to reflect and yes, to look forward into new adventures! This year is kind of a riddle for me as I am left with few clues from the previous year. Nevertheless, that's one thing that excites me, surprises!

EAT: ALPS CAFE ( A LITTLE PIECE OF SKY)

For EAT, here is a cafe that I started visiting last year. I've visited a number of cafes all over the city but I must say that ALPS/ A Little Piece of Sky Cafe is my favorite. And I have here three 3 of my best reasons why:

The interior of the cafe is full of picture taking spots too, but as the light in the cafe is dimmer, photos might not looked great if you do not have a dslr camera. The whole place is full of the owner's mementos from different places abroad too. ALPS is owned by a family who really loves to travel a lot so most of the pieces inside the cafe is privately owned by them too.

I'll say this once again, nothing from their menu that we've ordered disappointed me! What I love about ALPS' menu is that they have a wide range of availability. From breakfast foods to mouthwatering desserts, they all got it. How they are named made me wanna try each of them too.

Here are some of the foods that my friends and I ordered from our visit. Saaraaappp!!!!

ALPS Cafe takes bookings, good for groups or parties, good for children and takeaway. From what I saw on their FB page, they also accept reservations for workshops and company parties. It's so amazing! What's more is they often have gimmicks. In fact, I spent my Halloween in ALPS with my best friend Love. You can read about my Halloween night here.

 Every Fridays, they have FREE film showing and just recently, they announced that every Thursday, they will give FREE milk tea to their customers who are students. That makes me wish I'm still studying :( lol

What took me so long to visit the place is that I am not familiar of its whereabouts. It is actually located in a residential area so it's a little hard to look for it. I lucky my friend Lyssa lives near the place so she led us to where it is located. For your benefit if you are planning to visit the place, here's a map I grabbed from their FB account:

ALPS is currently close for a renovation but I hope you can visit the place once they open again. Will update this post as soon as they will too.

When in doubt what to wear for a formal night party, a long black dress is the easiest solution. A black dress will never fail to give anyone the right amount of class and sophistication needed to own the night. It's a go-to outfit for every girl for it is easy to pull off and accessorize.

Silver or gold accessories are the best match to brighten up the dress. A pair of white pumps will also help balance everything. To create a more elaborate structure, throwing on a blazer is an instant choice. They say black is beautiful, I say too much black is drama! lol  I don't usually post an outfit shot, but when I do it's dramatic haha. Thumbs up to my best friend Shiela for taking the photos under my direction lol Thank you for reading this post. Good luck!

love lots,

For the eyeshadows, palettes that contain neutral shades are still very much on trend because they can surely bring out bold colored lipsticks. However, if you are really into rocking the Marsala shade in your eyes, here are two of the best eye shadow palettes that I found online. These eye shadows just made me drool *.*
