Every 18th of June

I’m a sucker for schedules and planners. I note down my daily things to do at work, I plan weekend activities the weekend before, I have reminders for my yoga classes and important birthdays. I like everything planned for and if there are things that don’t go my way I get somehow frustrated. Thankfully, I have a helping hand which ticks out one thing in my “Things to worry about list” (Believe me, it’s a very long list) – and that’s managing my monthly visitor. 

I’ve recently signed up with Blissybox after learning about their no-frills programme. I thought it always came in a big box with all the shebangs and since I’m quite easy every month, I don’t have cravings or mood swings I just literally need pads. I’m quite please I could get my pads 7 days before my schedule, so I’m literally red-dy :)

I received the pads direct in my mail in a polymailer and it came with a handwritten note from the founder, Anna.

If you haven’t signed up thinking it’s too tedious, then you’re wrong. It’s as easy as 1-2-3.

This basically asks what your period is like and there are 6 options from Pads only, light, organic and heavy. 

Not convenienced yet? Then maybe a 25% off your first box this GSS period will change your mind. Visit blissybox.sg and follow them in Instagram to be updated.

We stayed for 4 days and 3 nights, the first day was spent exploring the old market and night market. I checked out a few souvenirs and settled for a Cambodia fridge magnet. I’m not much of a souvenir person. I sent my best friend in Sweden a postcard from Cambodia when I went to Phnom Penh last year so that will take care of it!

The second day we hired a tuktuk for a full day and contracted him through our hotel to avoid the stress of hustling and to avoid touts.  Our Angkor Wat adventure started at 5:00 am – we wanted to catch the sunrise! Obviously, you can’t really have a full-proof schedule of the sun rise and you just have to make do with an estimate. Reached the place at 5:45 am and since it was summer, the sun rose much later- at around 6:10 am. But ever since we reached the place, we were taking pictures of everything and 30 minutes later the sun was so orange with all its glory. It was so surreal! J Angkor is actually a village where the Angkor Wat is located along with numerous other temples – it would take around 2 to 3 days to complete the route if you are to visit every nook and cranny. We just went to the major ones e.g. Ta Prom (where the Tomb Raider film was shot), Bayon temple, Angkor Thom and Bakong)

The third day we decided to go for a half-day floating village tour and then watch the sunset at the famous Tonle Sap Lake, the biggest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.  So the floating village actually floats on water during high-tide, but since we went during the hottest month, they were just “floating” on stilts. Our tour guide said that around 2,000 families live in the floating village. Some study and work abroad or in the city, but they always go back to their families. Arrived back at the city around 7:00 pm, went for a cold shower and then headed back to the pub street where I did some gelish pedicure since it was way cheaper than Singapore (US$10). Grabbed a bite, and then went to the convenience store to buy back some snacks for the night cap. 

Overall! We had a blast and a tick off my travel list :)

Love,
