Cameron Highlands

We took a road trip to Cameron Highlands in Malaysia this weekend. It was about a 6 hour drive from Singapore. It really was a beautiful destination. It was like the Swiss countryside, you definitely did not feel like you were in Malaysia or Asia at all. All the hotels were so cute, and there were rolling greens hills, waterfalls and beautiful surroundings around every corner. We did a lot of driving around and were lucky with good weather to take in the sights.

Happy Thanksgiving!

This was my 4th Thanksgiving in Singapore and I have to say as much as I would have loved to celebrate with my family I really enjoy preparing the feast on my own. We had 7 people over for dinner, our biggest Thanksgiving yet, and it really was such a lovely evening. I made an apple pie for the first time from a recipe by Pioneer Woman, you MUST try it. It was a BIG hit. BIG! Click here for recipe.Turkey napkin rings!
The spread, yummy.
The pies!
The group.
I am very thankful we have made great friends here. I am thankful that my husband is always helpful, and left work and ran around the city at 5pm for me because I bought Japanese sweet potatoes instead of yams. I am thankful for our growing baby and that I am having a healthy, happy pregnancy. And, I am always thankful for my family and girlfriends. We are off on a road trip this morning after a few hours of work. We are headed to Malaysia to a place called Cameron Highlands. We are going to go strawberry picking, hiking in a moss forest and hopefully much much more.
Happy Thanksgiving. :)

TRX

The pilates studio that I work at is starting TRX classes in January. TRX is a piece of equipment that allows you to work out using your body weight against gravity. This is what it looks like.All the instructors from my studio went for training of TRX on Sunday. It was an 8 hour course, and it was pretty intense! We worked out for most the day trying all the different exercises. I was SO sore the next day. I am really excited about using this with clients, it is a kick butt workout. The cool part is you can use TRX anywhere you are, you can check out more info about it here. I didn't buy one for myself, but can't wait to use it at the studio. I would seriously recommend trying one!! Pics of the training below.

Picture Update

I am 6 months today! Time seems to be flying by now. My belly really popped over the last month, and I am enjoying looking more pregnant.I am also thoroughly enjoying being back with my husband after 3 weeks away!
Do you notice my hair looks decent? And I am in Singapore?! Unheard of normally, but I had a straightening treatment done while in the US and it is seriously a miracle. My hair has not frizzed, curled or looked gross since I have been back!! AMAZING!

Happy Weekend. xoxo
