Taking My Cardio Workout Seriously

July 30, 2017 1 Comments
Hello Bloggies!

If you have been reading my blog for some time now then you would know that this post is not about me sharing my cardio workout, not at all. 🙅 I actually published this blog post with the title Taking My Cardio Workout To The Next Level about a year ago and yeah, it had nothing to do with cardio workout (unless you agree with me that shopping is one of the cardio workouts) and today, I am back again to write something similar to that blog post except that this time round, it has something to do with workout. Yeah, I am seriously serious.

Any of you are fitness enthusiasts here or someone who loves to workout? I know I am. 🙋
If you are then you will understand that you can never have enough sportswear and right now with all the different varieties of sportswear available out there, yes, you can never have enough of them. I mean NEVER.

Why am I sounding like I am trying to give myself some excuses to shop for more sportswear so that I will feel better? 😝

Okay, let's skip the long intro, the damage had been done anyway. 😏

Cotton On Body is currently my favorite store where I get all my sportswear because not only that they are affordable (I can't afford to have so many Nike sport bras and shorts) but they also sell good quality sportswear. I have been their loyal customer for some time now and if there is a sale going on, God bless my wallet because that is when I go crazy shopping for sportswear, haha!

There was a sale going on last few weeks and yes, I could not resist the urge to get myself some additional sportswear so I splurged a little bit.

PEEKABOO!


I have been purchasing most of my sportswear from Cotton On Body and I roughly know what sizes I should get so I decided to shop online. Mainly because it is much easier to browse through everything from your laptop and since Cotton On Body was having a sale, some of the items or sizes may not be available in store so in order to save me some hassle, I decided to go online. You can enjoy free shipping for order above $50 so just make sure you have a shopping cart that worth $50 and you are good to go! 😝

Everything was nicely packed in a plastic bag with their price tags on. In case if you change your mind about any of the items you purchased online, just simply pack them back in the plastic and post it back to them. Simple return and exchange policy, that is one of the reasons why I love to shop on Cotton On online.


Let me just quickly go through each and every item that I had purchased from Cotton On Body.

I have finally got myself a matching sport bra and shorts, hooray! Usually I do not care anything about matching my top and bottom because my shorts are all black and black is a universal color that will match everything. If you are lazy to match your top and bottom, just get a black shorts and this will save you a lot of time, haha, lazy girl hack.

BF: "Can't believe that you got yourself a gym uniform." 😂


Halter neck top is currently the fashion trend and I had to get this. 😍 When you gotta be trendy on the treadmill despite being so sweaty with your super messy bun hair, haha! 


I can never say no to pink and I had to get this. Sometimes you need to look cute too on the treadmill, haha! I love the sweet baby pink color on it and trust me, it is very comfortable. I wore this a few times to yoga class, it was very comfortable to move around with.


Last but not least (I wish I had more than these), I got myself another pair of black shorts to match all the other tops that I have right now. Seriously girls, if you have trouble in matching your top and bottom, a pair of black shorts will literally save your life.


I love every item that I had purchased from Cotton On Body but these shorts are my favorite. It is a simple pair of black shorts but I love the tiny holes detail at the side of it.


The best part about these shorts is IT HAS POCKETS!


I don't understand why we can't have pockets on workout shorts or leggings, why??? So far this is the only shorts that I own with pockets, I need more pockets. 

Okay, that is it to my sportswear haul from Cotton On Body.
I highly recommend sportswear from Cotton On Body because I love how they are able to provide great quality sportswear at an affordable price.

If any of you are planning to upgrade your workout wardrobe, don't forget to drop by Cotton On Body and check out their sportswear collection. If I am not mistaken, there is currently a sale going on so don't miss out the great deal! 😉

Happy shopping!

Love,
Rachel.

Gudetama AKA The Lazy Egg

July 06, 2017 1 Comments
Hello Bloggies! 

I am back after being MIA for some time (if any of you guys noticed) and today I am going to share to you guys on my lovely experience at Gudetama Cafe Singapore.


Gudetama or as I like to call it, Eggy is one of the adorable cartoon characters from Sanrio (one of Hello Kitty's friends I guess). Eggy appears to be a lazy egg who is feeling "meh" all the time; feeling unmotivated and lazy, just like how I would feel sometimes when I decided to lie in bed doing nothing but feel sad of my life. Yeah, we all have that one moment in life once in a while, nothing to be ashamed of (proud to be me, haha!).

Why did I fall in love with this lazy egg again?

I first saw Eggy a few years back when I was surfing the internet where people would share a bunch of videos of Eggy in a yellow bun form and people would poke its butt with a chopstick to create a pooping Eggy.

Here is a YouTube video of pooping Eggy if you don't quite understand what I was trying to explain earlier. Oh, and it pukes as well.


Don't call me a freak or weirdo first, that is not why I fell in love with Eggy. Uh-uh, not a fan of pooping and puking Eggy. Before I actually fell in love with Eggy, I used to hate it because this egg looked so depressing and I would be like "couldn't you be happier?". Until one day I realized I could actually relate to this egg because feeling "meh" was basically what I felt when I didn't want to face the world. Slowly I started to notice a lot of shops selling Gudetama merchandise and some of them were really cute especially those t-shirts that I got from Uniqlo (click here to read more).


Isn't it adorable? The third black t-shirt is currently my favorite of them all, it is so cute for it to sit in an eggshell and chill like there is nothing else to worry about. The first white t-shirt is what best describe me when there is time where I don't feel like I can "human" anymore, "seriously... I can't...". That is why I fell in love with this lazy egg, I just love how chill and lazy it is, haha!

Okay, I think we should move on to talk about the cafe.


First thing first, let me show you guys on how this cafe looks like on the inside. Beware, lots of cute lazy egg decors ahead! Seriously, this is like another version of Disneyland; it is a happy place with happy people and you will not want to leave this place afterwards, sounds like Disneyland huh? 😂



We were seated on this "egg chair" and this question hit me, "can I have one of these chairs at home?". I believe I was not the only one who wished to have one of these "egg chairs" at home, am I right? You guys would love to have one in your home too right? 😁 But seriously, where did they get these "egg chairs", I am curious. 🤔 Can they make a doughnut chair too? Or a burger chair?


I wish I could be as chill as Gudetama. Chill... 😌 That is a tissue box BTW, so cute!


Even the menu looks so cute and look at that lazy face of Gudetama welcoming you to the cafe on the menu cover page.


We were a little greedy with our food (since we were there already so why not?) and we ordered an appetizer, two main courses and a dessert. I know right, that sounds a lot for two persons but surprisingly, we managed to finish them all! Not a single food wasted! 👍

We got the Gudetama Lobster Onsen as our appetizer, basically a lobster bisque served in a bread bowl with some salad at the side and Gudetama decided to have some spa moment in our hot soup (ahhh, how relaxing it is).

 Gudetama Lobster Onsen ($16.00)

I am a seafood lover and I decided to try their Lazy Surfer, assorted grilled seafood with Brazilian rice. Honestly, I had no idea what a Brazilian rice was and what kind of yellowy sauce that was served with my seafood but this dish was delicious. 😋👍 BTW, what does "bo chup" means? 🤔

 Lazy Surfer ($28.50)

BF ordered "Shiok" Pork Ribs as his main course and I was only interested with the FRIES! You can have the pork ribs all to yourself but leave those fries alone, those are mine! ✋ And I want some of those veggies as well, that is what I call a balance diet (actually that was the worst diet advice ever, haha)! 👍😂 

"Shiok" Pork Ribs ($38.50)

Honestly, we did not expect much from Gudetama Cafe, we thought usually themed cafes serve like okay kind of food because they focus more on the "theme" but not really on the food. Not trying to say that all themed cafes food are awful but usually they just kind of taste normal to me. But Gudetama Cafe has proved us wrong, according to BF, their pork ribs were one of the best that he has tried so far, it was worth the price he paid. Thumbs up from him. 👍

Last but not least, my favorite part of this meal, *drum roll...* THE DESSERT!

I am a huge fan of matcha and I had to give this a try! Masu-cha was the first thing that caught my eyes on the drinks menu, it is a matcha smoothie with Pepero chocolate sticks, caramel popcorn, marshmallows and some chocolate drizzle on top of everything. The matcha smoothie was so good but the chocolate drizzle was a little too sweet for me.

Masu-cha ($11.90)

At the end of the day, we were both happy (or maybe just me?) and satisfied with our delicious food at Gudetama Cafe Singapore. We highly recommend you guys to give this Eggy a try. 👍

I think my favorite color right now is yellow. 😝


Before I end this post, here is a quick reminder for you guys who have not gotten your new Ezlink Gudetama card. Ezlink just started to sell these cute limited edition Gudetama cards not too long ago so go get them fast before they are all sold out. 😉👍


Here are my Gudetama Ezlink cards with my mini eggy plushie that I got from TaoBao. 😍


Okay, that is it to this post and I hope you guys enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed eating at Gudetama Cafe, haha!

So now which theme cafe should I try next?
I actually have Pompompurin Cafe Singapore in my mind. 😉

The Biggest Eggy Fan,
Rachel.
