A close friend of ours got married recently and the bridesmaids were in charge of a small and cosy lunch reception. We planned the menu way in advance and that is when Jia and I jumped at the idea of concocting a light and refreshing alcoholic beverage for the celebration. Now, what is a celebration without some sparkly and fruity bubbly? 

This Sangria recipe that we created a few years ago is our absolute favourite. It is sweet and tasty, looks fun and is so easy to put together that we often make the Sangria to share with friends and family or to pack into festive gift hampers for our clients. This white Sangria gets a ton of rave reviews and always hits the right spot!

How are you dealing with the heat these days? Tell us some tips and tricks!

<3 Jia.

We have been so overwhelmed with work since the end of May that we barely have the time to catch up with our friends and family members. With hectic schedules and ticking deadlines, our attempts at maintaining a clean diet has been shot as our meals mainly involves fast takeaways from eateries around us. But hooray, our first free weekend is in sight with a lighter work week ahead! To celebrate, we are hitting the grocery stores to scoop up ingredients from these recipes. 

1. What a yummy breakfast idea!

2. Beat the heat with some icy fruity goodness. 

3. Hallou, it's mi, your favourite vegetarian burger. 

4. A Kale rice bowl sounds like just the right clean meal after an oily and fried week!

5. Head down to the pool with a mojito to enjoy the weekend. 

6. Sometimes, you get the kimchi cravings and you just got to try your hand at making it. 

​7. Nothing like a decadent dark chocolate tart to end off the week.
