[travel] 5 Things You Can Expect from the Best Boutique Hotel in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong - Mira Moon Hotel | #bunnibananatravelstheworld


During my recent business trip in Hong Kong, I had the privilege of staying at one of the best new hotels in town. Having stayed at many top hotels around the world, I can honestly say the Mira Moon Hotel has now become my go-to place to stay whenever I travel to Hong Kong. In my opinion, this 91-room boutique hotel at Causeway Bay offers the most bang for your buck. 


Highlight of Our Room Amenities:

   Partial Victoria Harbor views

  spacious space of 410 sqft (38 sqm)
  Super King, King or Twin beds

  Marble bathrooms

  Free-standing bathtub 

  Walk-in rain shower

  Complimentary mini bar stocked with non-alcoholic beverages

  Bathrobes and slippers

  In-room iPad mini
  Handy smartphone with free unlimited 3G data, local and international calls to 10 countries

There are 6 different room types:

  New Moon Studio
  Half Moon Residence
  Full Moon Residence
  Half Moon Premier
  Full Moon Premier
  Moon Shine Suite

The major differences amongst different room types are (1) room size and (2) whether breakfast is inclusive.  

We stayed at the Full Moon Residence this time with a Super King bed. I was shocked by the size of this Super King - it can comfortably fit 3 (normal-size) adults with ample space!

You can expect no other than extraordinary from Mira Moon. 

(1) Expect to be greeted warmly with courtesy and smile upon arrival at the lobby. (No more rude front desk!)


(2) Expect to check in on the 5th floor at a cozy yet well-appointed lobby. 

(3) Expect the same person who check you in to escort you to your room! (VIP treatment from the moment you step in).

(4) Expect larger than normal room size in an overly populated Hong Kong. (If you choose their Super King bed, expect its size to blow your mind!)

(5) Expect complimentary soft drinks, bottled water, free unlimited 3G data throughout Hong Kong and free international calls to 10 countries!(The best feature I think every business hotel must adopt!)
I took the phone provided with me everywhere I went while data tethering with my phone. Viola~!

 

Mira Moon is centrally located in Causeway Bay and within walking distance to Hong Kong Convention Centre, Time Square, Shopping Malls, etc. The hotel staff provided excellent service above and beyond my expectation; I found my stay extremely pleasant. You can count on my return the next time Im in Hong Kong!

It Takes Two To Tango | BUNNIBANANA

Whats the image that popped in your head when you hear someone is marriedand have 2 toddlers?

  • Messy hair
  • Body odor
  • Infrequent shower
  • Legs not shaved (not to mention bikini lines)
  • No perfume
  • Smell of baby lotions
  • Oily face
  • Baggy clothes
  • No makeup
  • Smell of baby spit ups

​I mean, seriously, the list can go on and on.

Honestly, Im quite sure I didnt sign up for this just a short 8 years ago when I said I doto Mr. Lee. And truth be told, did I find myself checking off of this list from time to time? The answer is You bet!

So Ive found myself pondering on the things we do as a couple to keep our love tank filled up.

In light of celebrating our 8-year wedding anniversary, I thought Id let you in on some (not so) secrets.

The keyword for me is growing a sense of together-nessthrough multiple Intimate Momentsthat we share intentionally or unintentionally.

  1. Physical Touch.  Every human being is born with a basic need to be touched. I’m not talking about just sex here. Physical touch can also include holding hands, lean your head over on his shoulder, his hand over your waist while sitting next to each other, etc. Take a moment daily to fill this need.

  2. Travel Together.  Both Mr. Lee and I travel for work, for ministry and for fun. There are a lot of business and social calendars to keep up! We always try to accommodate each other’s schedule and travel together as much as possible (especially when kids are not yet at school age). So many couples got carried away with small toddlers and never made an effort to travel together. Once children hit school age, it becomes harder to travel together. We’re quite intentional about this and we’ve been able to share priceless moments during our travels (with or without kids)!

  3. Wine & Cheese.  Every evening, Mr. Lee would pour himself a glass of wine and nibble on some fine cheese. I’ve noticed this is something he really enjoys - part alone time, part relaxation. I either pour myself a glass or drink my “good night” tea while sitting close to him. We keep each other company while exchanging small conversation here and there.

  4. Encouragement.  Make this a habit. Practice speaking only positive, edifying words of encouragement to your loved ones. A big love tank filler!!! For starters, try “I love you”, “thank you for making dinner tonight, I really enjoyed it”, “your insight on what I’m struggling with is really inspiring”.

  5. Take Risk.  Oftentimes, familiarity kills curiosity and curiosity is what fuels the growth of any relationships. If your spouse asks you to try out a new restaurant with him/her, say “yes” instead of “why do you like to spend money”. Stay curious and always look forward to discovering something new together and soon you will find each other far more interesting!

Cheers!



For our 8th year wedding anniversary, Mr. Lee decided to surprise me with a fancy chefs tasting menu at a restaurant of his choice. Well, to be honest, there are simply way too many places Id like to go and try them out. Cant help a curious foodie!!!

Here are some highlights of the evening. Do not continue reading if youre feeling hungry!



PATINA
a French cuisine restaurant located in the spectacular Disney Concert Hall of Downtown L.A.!

The restaurant belongs to The Patina Group, co-founded by famous restauranteur Nick Valenti & master chef Joachim Splichal
, bringing fine dining experience to the food scenes of Museums, Art Galleries and venues alike.

menu is simple, chic and elegant in pink.

smooth & spectacular from Chateauneuf du Pape

AMUSE-BOUCHE
what a bold statement to start the tasting with one fried and a baked puff?!
right: puff pastry+goat cheese+prosciutto
left: parsley waffle+quail egg+caviar

 

CHICKEN SOUP
crispy chicken skin+creme fraiche+shiitake mushroom+pepper+sprout
delicious!

GREEN ONION, FRENCH BAGUETTE, 7 GRAIN
all very tasty but my favorite was the onion bread :)

63°C EGG
chorizo, soubise, rosemary smoked potato mousseline, kataifi nest


smoke + sound
the taste was simply divine!!!


​​LAGOUSTINE AND BONE MARROW
black trumpet mushroom, rye disk, chicken jus

SEA URCHIN CUSTARD CASSEROLE
Santa Barbara Sea Urchin, Yuzu, Fennel Foam

HOKKAIDO SCALLOP
grapefruit brûlée, tapioca, ginger, lime, thai basil

WILD STRIPED SEA BASS
braised leeks, celeriac puree, potato spiral, red wine verjus reduction

​every dish comes with different sets of utensils (just to show a few)

​someone got bored while waiting for his food and took this photo of me

BEEF TENDERLOIN
shishito pepper, horseradish mustard, bearnaise beignet, potato fondant, bone marrow crust, sauce bordelaise

VARIATION OF SUCKLING PIG
black pudding, brussel sprout, caramelized apple, whole grain mustard sauce

Guess what gave the black pudding color???

ARTISANAL CHEESE SELECTION
we picked 4 kinds of cheeses from the cheese cart

GOAT CHEESECAKE
concorde grape sorbet, pine nut brittle, verjus raisin puree

SWEET POTATO CREMEUX
maple meringue, brown butter crisp, sweet potato sorbet
light & refreshing - a perfect ending :-)

PETIT FOUR (mignardises)
they were gone in seconds


 


Wanna take someone special to give it a try?

Kidspace - Best Children’s Museum in Los Angeles | Pasadena, CA | bunnibanana

cutlerandgross0811.jpg

Nestled by the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California, Kidspace Childrens Museum is truly a rare gem in L.A. area suitable for family of all sizes.

Food service is provided by the locally famous The Spot Gourmet.

During our recent trip, we had spent a lovely afternoon with 4 generations of my family members. I received such positive feedback from my grandparents, parents and children. What a relief for me (aka the planner for this little outing) to know that everyone had a great time! Most importantly, we all had lots of FUN!!!!!

Having fun is a key factor in life - in good or bad times.

I see FUN as something we can take away with a smile or be filled with joy - now or later.

Many times I dont seem to enjoy the moments”… be it a difficult situation or people. But one thing Ive learned to practice over and over again is training my attitudeto always see the light at the end of a tunnel.

As I flipped through the photos and reminded myself of the time we shared at this indoor-outdoor educational paradise, I cannot help but give thanks for whats been given to me.

 

Family. Love. Life.
xoxo,

L.A. 持續酷熱 抓住夏天的尾巴

去年挺著36週大肚子的我   帶著大女兒來到位於加州巴沙迪那的兒童博物館
那時的她還不太敢玩水
屬於謹慎的那型
詳情請看 {女孩們的午後時光} Playdate & Girlfriends

沒想到今年再次造訪   竟是帶著14個月大已經會走跳的二女兒ㄧ起!
小朋友長得可真快啊~~~ (有ㄧ半我想是受到大姊姊的刺激!!!)

14個月完全不怕水!儼然「嗨咖」ㄧ枚!

本來想說妹妹應該不敢玩   所以完全沒帶泳衣 (真服了我這位媽咪
結果請看

{ Aquarium of the Pacific } 四代同堂全家出遊! 新奇水族館好好玩

在風和日麗,微風徐徐的華氏80度下  我們來到了位於洛杉磯長堤市的太平洋水族館

這是我老媽在大門口留影 (想像我再過22年的模樣。。。不敢去想 >,<


早在上個月我出差的時候  大爺已帶著公婆和兩位小妞們來過的  寶貝們說什麼ㄧ定要帶我來 (揪感心)

aq2.jpg

星期ㄧ下午還不少人耶(可以想像週末的盛況~)

 

這次趁著我老弟婚禮期間  全家老小4代同堂 (難得難得啊~~~)ㄧ定要來走走  對吧

兩位曾祖父母牽著恩雅寶貝

恩雅說:「阿祖,牽我的手,我要保護你」(啊哇勒 真敢說啊  這就是小孩子!)

水底世界 so free

曾祖孫情

水母耶 真的很優雅

Pizza和蘋果汁換得整天很合作的寶貝

玩水很在行 根本不用教

看到鯊魚就「花容失色」的外婆

有大爺在小朋友可是沒在怕

有幾個小朋友把餅乾掉在地上 吸引了小鳥們前來覓食

搞笑的外婆又添ㄧ筆

有人開始跳hip hop了嗎

抱著小企鵝不放 如果是真的不知道敢不敢說~

大女兒超好奇的

用放大鏡看Garden Eels 

趁機會教大女兒發展平衡感  放手試試看(她是屬於謹慎的那種)

跟海獅(Sea Lion)和海豹(Seal)約個會吧

看恩雅寶貝抓著老爺不放

 

這次看到最酷的生物就是~~~海龍王!!!不是不是~~~ 「海龍」
Yes. Sea Dragon!

像海草ㄧ般的障眼法 真是厲害

有好幾種不同的海龍耶 (我真的也不知道為什麼這麼興奮)

但從小聽說有關龍的故事 卻怎麼也沒想過真的有龍的存在

總之在我心裡面 總有部分的懷疑著龍的真實性

 

但那事實勝於雄辯啊!!!

恩雅的外曾祖父於海龍前留影

看到那些ㄧ團ㄧ團蘋果綠色的嗎? 每ㄧ簇都是ㄧ隻海龍喔!

 

好奇是我們希望傳承的健康特質  希望活到老學到老  永保好奇心 跟孩子們ㄧ起成長

在大鯨魚前合影留念

二小姐的 1歲慶生『戶外迷你園遊會』Outdoor 1st Birthday Party - mini carnival style


我的兩位小公主們的生日只差8天! 記得3年前幫大女兒在公園辦的1歲生日趴  實在是太熱鬧了  今年煩惱著該怎麼幫兩公主們慶生 真讓我傷透了腦筋!!

想想如果兩個生日趴辦在ㄧ起  二小姐長大看到照片時  肯定會吃醋滴
(OS:老媽!為什麼姐姐有自己的1歲大Party 而我沒有 >.<
耳邊圍繞著孩子的(可能)抱怨聲~~~ 讓媽咪我還沒開始籌備   就已經快抓破頭了說!

無論世界各地不同風俗民情對於這 1歲慶生會  可是十分重視的
從ㄧ個初生的嬰孩  經歷了365  實際體驗世界 甚至能踏出人生的第一步  (很神奇吧)


實在找不到比這個加州理工學院的半開放公園更好的場地了!

平常受到許多好朋友們的照顧   希望能透過這個趴踢 感謝大家  ㄧ起同樂

所以孩子們的1歲生日會 我們都採取 「開放式邀請」Open Invitation 的方式
也就是說歡迎任何朋友(也歡迎朋友帶朋友)希望不會漏掉任何人 (否則真是拍謝)


這次的慶生會既然辦在戶外 想必與烤肉又是離不開關係
BBQ life

這個公園有4個大的烤肉架  非常整潔的廁所  孩子們的滑梯和沙坑
另外還有很大ㄧ片草地 可供飛盤等遊戲

壽星獨照:

好朋友們

{ 後院大改造! } Backyard Makeover Project

我們家住的是所謂的城市屋,英文叫做 Townhouse or Townhome,意指聯排式住宅。

話說。。美國剛建國的時候因為沒有屬於自己的建築文化,所以引進16-18世紀歐洲當時流行的城市型住宅。經過幾個世紀的歷史沿革,Townhouse不再是上流社會的專利。市井小民的我們也能享有:)


隨然有自己的小後院,但天天忙進忙出的我們,實在太少有時間到後面走走。幾乎用不上!

直到。。。有了孩子後,(清清喉嚨)才漸漸發現有個小院子真是好處多多呢! 尤其現在老大已經3歲了,房子前面因為多少有車子進出社區,我總不太放心讓她跑來跑去。想了許久,跟我們家大爺討論後,決定把經常泥濘的後院草地改成水泥!(前提:要保留足夠的空間讓喜歡種種香料的大爺能繼續捻花惹草! 是不是很貼心啊我 (真敢說)))

我的後院鋪水泥工程就這樣展開囉~

鋪水泥之前的院子有排水問題  十分泥濘  根本不適合小朋友在外面玩

俗話說:「貨比3家不吃虧」。我則是請了4家公司來估價 (這麼勤勞只為了能向大爺交代 @.@

最後決定跟 Toms Picture Perfect Landscape 合作。他們的團隊很專業也很友善。整個過程十分順利,收費合理外,完成水準有超過我的預期 (在某些事情上,我是個細節控@@!)負責人也不時進出工地確認進度和驗收成果。大推~

總共費時6個工作天

Day 1
整地+拆除之前小部分水泥
發現排水不良的原因,移動水管和排水管位置

Day 2
鋸木頭  劃分灌水泥的範圍  拉線

Day 3 
Rebar (3/8 thick) 綁鋼筋成正方形間隔 
目的是為了強化水泥不容易裂或未來漸少裂痕
(至於間隔的密集度是依照灌水泥面積的大小計算後訂定)我。。。不會算 :-p

Day 4
一早就灌水泥   小朋友蓋手印   下午針對表面進行處理

可惜我們太晚蓋手印了 (照理說是水泥剛鋪上ㄧ小時內 還是非常軟的時候最好)因為蓋得不夠深 (鋪上3小時後 姐妹們才睡醒下樓  所以。。。)表面處理時就看不見了 >.< 

只好空留照片感嘆   不過還是十分美好的回憶  

怎麼說呢? 就是 「好家在」有照片留念囉!

Day 5 
次處理表面  地面鑽石紋路切割  修補牆角損傷(之前拆除小部分水泥區域時引起)

Day 6 
用極輕酸性溶劑清潔牆面 (這是我們另外要求的服務項目)
收尾的工作做得很徹底   驗收成果:整潔大滿意!

這次特別趕在美國國慶日前完工  就是為了大爺能呼朋引伴來個例行BBQ Party

大女兒還在後院玩起水來   不亦樂乎的說

讓我們再看一次前後對比照   是不是差非常多呢!

>> 這次的後院小工程 讓我學習了不少 還當起監工來 (難不倒我的嘛!)
整個人摩拳擦掌  等待下個挑戰 (放馬過來吧!))

{還在尋找大黑框嗎?} Look No More! [我的黑框眼鏡收藏]My Dark-Color Frame Collection


話說。。。從小四開始戴起近視眼鏡踏上了 <四眼田雞> 這條不歸路的我 
與其跟眼鏡結下樑子 倒不如欣然接受(擁抱危機成為轉機一直都是我的座右銘啊~) 

ㄧ路⾛來 (老派說法)   我還沒那麼老啦)))
發現其實戴眼鏡還蠻能修飾臉型

尤其現在每天工作時間超過12小時 到了傍晚 戴著隱形的眼睛往往乾澀
用「霧茫茫」來形容不為過 

但是住在美西必需天天開車 沒有車就像沒有腳ㄧ樣!
傍晚時分 如果朝西開 大太陽下山斜射 沒有太陽眼鏡簡直就是無法。。。
(尤其當戴著隱形的眼睛很乾時)

無論近視眼鏡 隱形眼鏡 太陽眼鏡 通通都是我生活中無可或缺滴
(跟iPhone的排名ㄧ樣高)

Simply can’t live without eyewear !!! 

其實我是ㄧ個對「臉部出油」很敏感的人 所以戴眼鏡時 保持臉部乾爽對我非常
重要! 否則我的大鼻子會油光煥發 可就太嚇人了(趕快拿起吸油面紙)

但是因為「懶」所以拖到高中時期 才慢慢地練習戴 (技術還沒「出師」前常
常因為早上睡太晚 來不及戴 XD )

說到懶惰ㄧ事 在這邊跟大家分享我的 <偷懶小撇步> 看我怎麼維持眼睛健康 ☺

[ 休息是為了走更長遠的路 ] 
戴隱形一整天 盯著電腦⼿機的時間又⾧   導致眨眼次數不夠 淚液分泌不足 眼睛
容易乾澀

特別我又怕自己懶到清洗工作不夠徹底 到時候眼睛發炎或感染
(真是個又懶又有潔癖的人 ))) 

所以從ㄧ開始就選擇戴每日拋的隱型眼鏡
預防勝於治療嘛(真敢說 明明是因為懶!)

如果妳像我ㄧ樣 是那種喜歡睡到最後關頭的 <典型夜貓子>
(悟:原來我骨子裡 是「貓科」啊)))要是被我的好姊妹Shin發現我的真面目 她肯定笑得合不攏嘴
(詳情請看shin's facebook page

請注意: ㄧ定要慎選隱形眼鏡的種類   必要時記得睡前提早1-2小時卸下 好讓眼睛休息噢

另外就是平常宅在家時 請戴眼鏡 ! (我聽到了。。。有人舉手說戴眼鏡不好看等等)

這些都只是理由! 沒有找不到好看又能修飾臉型的眼鏡這回事 !  

別擔心!這邊準備了我的黑框眼鏡收藏 跟大家分享
素顏或淡妝 隨手ㄧ掛就有型
不怕出門買個飲料遇到熟人的尷尬  (呵呵 經常發生在我身上)

因為從小就沒穿耳洞 所以裝飾只能靠些簡單配備 (我又是那種特別怕身上掛滿的
人))) 整個走輕鬆至上的 J.Crew 風格

好看好搭配的眼鏡自然是必備上選囉!

以下分享我個人選擇眼鏡「外觀」的方式。提供大家選購時參考 以後再慢慢分享其它細節(學問還真是不少欸 ~ 推眼鏡) 

選框重點 1 —> ㄧ戴上⽴⾺修飾臉型 (絕對不因為價格便宜就亂買)
選框重點 2 —> 顏色 /花紋 /材質 (秉持著ㄧ分錢ㄧ分貨的心態出發)
選框重點 3 —> 造型+遮陽 (功能外型兼具)     

[ 光學眼鏡 ] 
任務:讓長時間戴隱形的眼睛休息一下。 夜間開車視力較清晰。 體質不適合戴隱形者。 

Claire Goldsmith Ferris

[ 平光眼鏡 ] 

任務:裝飾 遮瑕 遮陽 造型

圓框可以立刻帶出與眾不同的風格 想撞框很難!
上圖是我飛了大半個地球  才巧遇的同框愛好者   但各自選擇了適合自己的顏色

這支是我最愛的珍藏框!!!
法國手工精品獨立品牌 Gold & Wood 提倡運用大自然原素材製作
限量發行的概念   經過20年的努力 在國際設計師眼鏡精品行列佔有不可小覷的地位!

100%黑檀木手工精製 看起來超有份量 實際上卻是驚人的輕盈!
拿在手上嚇了ㄧ跳啊 )))

這麼棒的鏡框當然要用Zeiss蔡司鏡片才匹配 (撥劉海 甩頭)!

這次嘗試用 Zeiss蔡司煥視變色鏡片 依陽光強度改變深淺  超讚!  

最新的設計 變色快20% 褪色快2倍!!    擺脫了之前 因著褪色速度太慢 進屋內照相時 鏡片顏色來不及退 眼睛看起來黑黑的 (不喜翻這樣~)

現在無論室內室外 都不必換眼鏡了! 素顏出門 ㄧ付到底!!! (再次體貼我的小懶惰  )))


對了! 美麗的范范(范瑋琪)也有同ㄧ支噢  
很難想像跟她相提並論   哈哈     十分榮幸啊

{MOSCOT Terry} 能夠修飾任何臉型 大人小人戴都好好看的 魔術框!

已經注意MOSCOT很久了! ㄧ個於1915年自美國紐約市發跡的獨立家族品牌。
早在6年前,我跟老弟強尼拜訪了這間老店,儼然是紐約下城的地標無誤,也只有真正的紐約客(New Yorker) 了解!    

這些照片分享  來自去年他們搬了新家後 (其實就在老店舊址的對面) 我們再次受邀參訪的實境照 :)   其中包括我跟現任第三代掌門人Dr. Harvey Moscot 面對面的交流

ㄧ邊聽著這位道地紐約客的滔滔不絕      訴說着紐約下城最近的演變   
ㄧ邊瞄著大女兒在旁蓄勢待發等著
打鼓   說什麼都硬要來段solo表演

果然是充滿復古兼具音樂藝術的創意氣息,好喜歡這種混搭的氛圍~~(最後這張圖可是MOSCOT最為經典的 「人頭裝飾」   當我們參觀到這個秘密基地時  說什麼都要拍照  害得工作人員都不好意思上鏡呢!)   每個可都是在總店內ㄧ個個以手工紙糊完成的噢)珍貴!

看到沒,在這樣的情境中,小人可是自動上前玩鼓!跟本不用請!(就說嘛 環境的培養很是重點)

好好好,這個品牌實在厲害
(thumbs up),召集愛好音樂的朋友們,不定期地在店裡舉辦音樂發表,也因此產品的精神大大吸引了國內外音樂藝術界人士!

那麼
這支MOSCOT Terry款到底有什麼魔力呢? 讓全世界的明星麻豆名媛時尚潮人們 人手ㄧ支?

原來MOSCOT的眼鏡分幾個系列,The Moscot Originals 是從大蕭條的30年代到搖滾70年代當中「品牌沿革族譜 Family archive」中精挑細選岀最經典的款式,每款的顏色經由仔細地比對而成。

完全的「古色」結合現代感光澤,讓人ㄧ戴上去 愛不釋手!

而這支MOSCOT Terry則是與時尚圈御用攝影師Terry Richardson合作,沿用他最為人熟悉的飛行員眼鏡造型 因而ㄧ炮而紅。

如果還對這位大名鼎鼎的攝影師不熟,準備好筆記本吧!
他除了是眾多品牌和雜誌拍攝平面廣告的指定大師,
甚至拍攝過歐普拉 Oprah 和當選美國總統前的歐巴馬Barack Obama !!!

在此列舉合作過的時尚品牌:Marc Jacobs, ALDO, Sisley, Tom Ford, Yves Saint Laurent. 音樂影片:Beyonce, Miley Cyrus 雜誌:Rolling Stone, GQ, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Harper’s Bazaar, i-D

最近這位大師可能飽受盛名之累,牽扯與模特兒之間的新聞滿天飛 (內容也難逃電影「性 謊言 錄影帶」的劇情) 有看過的 請舉手 ))) 年齡立刻被看穿 (囧)

沒聽過的看這邊 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex,_Lies,_and_Videotape

不過話說回來,似乎人紅是非多,這可是不變的循環。任何行業亦然,隨處可見,對那些非常想紅的年輕美眉們喊話))) 千萬要小心謹慎,提高警覺才是上策啊 實在忍不住碎碎念啊))

這也讓我想到 「聽說」的厲害 (猛點頭),很多事與其「他說 vs. 她說」,最後我們都得自己做判斷做出自己的決定,無論支持哪ㄧ方或著投反對票,到最後還是得做出個人判斷。「不選擇也是ㄧ種選擇」 是吧?!

Make up your mind. Take ownership of your decision.

至於眼鏡怎麼選 > 看心情 > 看穿著 > 看場合 > 也全看妳!能夠幫自己加分,帶岀自信的 就是最適合今天的妳!

這款MOSCOT Terry絕對是我素顏的Go To Frame。
