One of the most unforgettable vacations we had as a family was when Papa brought us to Cyprus. It’s a very interesting country, rich in culture, arts and history.

I can never forget the beautiful Byzantine structures at the Troodos mountains. It features wonderfully and carefully crafted mosaics. The valley showcases the famous vineyards of the island. We also saw how they make their special wines. It is the first time that we saw a lot of wine displayed on wine racks.

Then there’s the idyllic coastline of Limassol. This is where Papa booked our hotel. We really had a wonderful time that summer, truly a vacation that we won’t forget.

I got two things that made me happy yesterday.

(1) Passport - At long last our passports are here. It’s the first one for M0rn1ng and our little boy and my third. It looks way way better than the previous ones. We’re so excited because we can already feel that we’re going to Singapore soon. Which reminds me that I have to research for our trip. Does anybody know if it is cheaper to stay at the hotel airport than in a regular one? We will arrive at midnight and we don’t want to bother our friend to pick us up. We might just go to their house in the morning.

And oh, we will be saving a lot for this trip because our friend invited us to stay with them in their home.

(2) Mineral make-up. The package arrived yesterday. My blogger friend Andrea told me that I can order free samples from their site. The kit consists of 3 colors of foundation, a blush, and a concealer. I’m so excited to try it on. I wanted to see if there is really a difference between chemical based and mineral make-up.

I was really pleased because it only took a week to arrive, it’s free and I only have to pay $5 for the shipping.
