Hi, everyone.

I just want to share my super simple Chinese New Year / Lunar New Year Home Decor. I never the one to go overboard with Chinese New Year. Mostly because no one visits my house on the day but I do like to decorate a bit so my husband and I can take CNY-ish pics. So here is my humble CNY decoration.

If the woman you are planning to spend the rest of your life with loves minimalistic style, then this article was written with you in mind. This very popular trend is simplistic and elegant. Regarding engagement ring settings, here are a few ideal settings for a minimalist diamond engagement ring.

  • Solitaire - Of course, the famous single diamond ring with solitaire setting would make a perfect minimalist engagement ring. If you are looking for unique diamond engagement rings, an online search will help you locate a leading custom jeweller and he can design a stunning single diamond ring that is simple, yet elegant with a lot of sparkle.
  • Three Stone In-Line Diamond Ring - On a thin band of yellow or rose gold, why not have a large central diamond, with a smaller stone on each side. This is a classic setting and one that most women love, especially if they are into the minimalist look. Of course, you do need to find out her ring size and perhaps one of her friends can do this without causing suspicion. If she wears a ring ion the third finger of her right hand, it will be the same size as the other hand. If you borrow a ring that fits and take it to a jeweller, he can measure the ring and you have the size.
  • Pavé Diamonds Set In A Band of Platinum - The bezel setting is ideal if you want a few small 
  • pavé diamonds inserted into the band. This setting is very durable, and the simplistic design is ideal for the girl who likes the minimalist trend. Pink diamonds would be very fitting and rather than looking for such a ring, why not have the ring handcrafted by a custom jeweller? There are so many designs that use small pavé diamonds, which can be set into in a thin band. Whether you choose coloured or clear diamonds, this ring design is stunning and perfect for a girl who likes things to be simplistic.
  • Geometric Settings - If she is into Art Deco, you could have octagonal setting with a single Brilliant Round Cut diamond, which is very original. Consider a unique black diamond and platinum for the band, ideal for the girl who likes to turn heads. Talking to a custom jeweller would certainly give you some design inspiration and it doesn't cost any more to have the ring handmade by a skilled jeweller.
  • Minimal Asscher Cut Diamond - Rose or yellow gold for the thin band, with a single Asscher Cut diamond, which could be coloured. The stone can still in a square bezel, which makes it look larger than it really is. This and many other minimalist engagement ring design can be handcrafted by a skilled custom jeweller and she would be the happiest woman alive.

The above are just a few simplistic ring settings that would suit a minimalist bride. By reaching out to a skilled custom jeweller, you can design the perfect minimalist ring for your minimalist bride.

 During the COVID-19 pandemic, we've spent more time than ever before indoors. While this may have given you a chance to read more books or finally nail that banana bread recipe, it's also likely left you with a thirst for both travel & great outdoors. And, as we continue to fight the virus and restrictions ease, you may be able to get back to traveling sooner than you may think!

With that in mind, her are some top tips for planning the perfect outdoor escape!

  • Choose the right location. When planning a vacation in the 'great outdoors', you must find the perfect space to (literally) set up camp. Here, your location should be based on the kind of place you want to visit and your previous camping experience. For example, while experienced campers may be able to battle rugged terrain (and a bit of bad weather), there are plenty of camping locations for beginners out there for you to choose from.
  • Buy the right gear. One of the biggest mistakes that beginners make when they go camping for the first time is failing to bring the right equipment with them. For example, while you're unlikely to forget your tent, it's also important that you bring along safety tools with you, such as battery-powered torches. Thankfully, you can order these tools, and other useful pieces of equipment online from sites such as EcoGear FX so that they can be delivered directly to your door.
  • Practice putting your tent up first. While every make and model fo tent is slightly different, it's crucial that you know how to set up a tent before you reach your destination. One way in which you could achieve this goal is by setting up your tent in your garden ahead of time. While this may seem like a hassle, it's far better to arrive at your campsite with knowledge and insight than it is to struggle to put it together (especially if you're expecting some bad weather).
  • Be prepared for the weather. One of the best parts of a camping trip is having the choice to get up close and personal with nature. However, this also comes with an element of risk - especially when it comes to weather. For example, while the forecast may say to expect sun-filled skies on every day of your trip, it does not help to be prepared and pack a few waterproof coats in your backpack just in case it does rain. Being prepared for all eventualities means you'll be able to have fun come rain or shine.
  • Plan some fun activities. On a traditional vacation, you'll likely want to spend most of your time sunbathing or relaxing by the pool. However, while they are also incredibly relaxing, camping retreats also give you the chance to be a little more adventurous. For example, you could get your adrenaline pumping by taking a hot air balloon ride or participating in some outdoor activities such as hiking or white water rafting.

 


Hi, everyone.
Visited Kamar Nenek Bandung a few days ago. We went on a Monday after lunch so the place was empty except for us and the staff. This place is quite hidden; if you find a house with Frances sign, you are in the right place. To the right side of the main building, there is another building behind it. Go through the plants and you'll find stairs on your right. Kamar Nenek is right above the stairs.
