Success and Tea

Hi everyone!

Hope you are all well reading this post. I have been very busy lately and could not get around to signing in on blogger since my last post. But I will try to blog more often - so apologies for my late post and my lack of comments and visits on your blogs. I will try my best to fix my timetable so that I can have some 'me' time, which includes blogging and reading all of your blogs.

With university over with, like a lot of graduates, I have been considering the paths I want to take and it is proving very tricky. The fact that there are so many opportunities out there can be confusing, but I have narrowed down my fields of interests. There is also an option to do a Master's degree, a PHD (no thanks!) and professional qualifications... or maybe just dive in and apply for jobs. So it is a tough choice and I'm curious to see where my fate will take me! It's not that I haven't thought about where I want to end up over the years. I did. But time passes by so quickly, before you know it you have to take the next leap... -.-

Anyway, since my last blog post, I passed my driving test (at long last...) ! =D As a gift, I was given these macaroons from PAULs to celebrate the success on the same day.




Last week I visited Laduree and got this Thé Jardin Bleu Royal to unwind during my stressful schedule. It's a herbal tea and smells/tastes delightful - perfect for before bedtimes or as an afternoon tea break.

Laduree

Laduree has opened at Covent Garden on the 12th May. I visited it 2 days after. I'm SO excited. Partly because I like macaroons. Partly because I think Laduree is a chic girly place. Partly because it's a little piece of Paris transported to London. I could go on and on. But the main reason is - they make the best macaroons and probably some of the best desserts (I will be trialling some of them out in future).

I took these pictures in a rush - next time I'll be armed with the Canon 7D!

I knew my next visit will be a long wait, so, guess what I did. Yes. I ordered each flavour of macaroon. But being the generous person that I am, I shared them amongst friends and family ^.^ We all loved it!

There is an upstairs in this store, which I have yet to visit.

Check out their cool design sketches here.

On to the pictures!

All instructions and information is in French, which I think is pretty cool! Not so much maybe for those who don't know French. I think the presentation is wonderful. I like the fact that they wrote the expiry date with a green pen.
