Just 10/10 Things

This place is such a gem! Tokyo Mart on West Ave isn’t just about Japanese goodies (which they have plenty of), they also have a cozy café and a super fun craft section where you can paint, make bracelets, or design your own coin bank (so many cute options!). Perfect for a chill mom-and-daughter bonding day.

When I need a place for my daughter to run, play, and burn off energy, Kidzoona does the job. They’ve got ball pits, slides, and a mini pretend town where little ones can play chef, doctor, or shopkeeper. It’s clean, safe, and a good option when I just need her to have fun while I take a breather. 

We checked out Dino Land at SM North and it was a fun little adventure! They’ve got life-sized dinosaurs, interactive displays, and a play area where kids can explore and burn off some energy. My daughter isn’t a huge dino fan, but she still had a great time—so if you’re looking for something different to do with the kids, this is a solid option! 

As someone considering vlogging soon, I’ve noticed that the Osmo Pocket 3 is widely used by professional vloggers. Definitely adding it to my must-buy list for when I start traveling!

They say Labubus are scary, but that’s exactly the appeal! 😆 They’re the perfect mix of cute and kinda creepy—and I love it. Been eyeing this Zimomo Angel for a while now, and it’s the perfect companion while I work. Bonus points for the moving eyes—adds to the creep factor! 👀

I’ve been looking for a device to help me de-stress while I'm not working, and then it hit me—why not get myself a Nintendo Switch OLED?

As a Potterhead, Hogwarts Legacy is next on my list—right after I get myself a Nintendo Switch! 🎮🪄✨

The Coach Tabby Bag has been on my wishlist for a while, and I finally get why it’s such a must-have! It’s the perfect mix of classic and modern, with that structured look and the signature "C" hardware that just screams effortless style - and of course, my name starts with C!

A Nespresso machine is high on my wishlist! ☕️ I love the idea of having barista-level coffee at home without the hassle. No more overpriced coffee runs—just a quick, smooth espresso whenever I need it.

Wander through Ximen’s busy streets, where you’ll find a mix of modern shops, street performances, and local snacks.

Write down your wish, light the lantern, and watch it drift up into the sky—a quiet but meaningful moment during your visit.

Taipei's largest night market! Amazing street food and a lively night market atmosphere. Definitely go hungry!

Catch the impressive guard-changing ceremony at Chiang Kai-Shek Memorial Hall. It's a quick but memorable experience, and the peaceful gardens nearby are perfect for a break afterward.

Inspired by the Spirited Away anime, Jiufen’s narrow, lantern-lit streets feel almost magical. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy local snacks.

The gondola ride to Taipei Zoo offers sweeping views of the city and mountains, making your trip to the zoo even more enjoyable.

My daughter and I just stumbled upon this new café! We were originally heading to our usual spot, but when we saw this place, we had to give it a try. They have a great selection of pastries, and I’m already loving their breakfast menu!

Our go-to spot when we’re craving cozy vibes, fast WiFi, delicious pasta, and a tall glass of avocado shake. Perfect for chill days and getting work (or snacking) done! 

When I’m craving a traditional American breakfast, this is my go-to spot! It may look high-end and classy, so it seems pricey at first, but what I love is that the prices are actually pretty reasonable. It’s also a great place to hang out, and the nighttime views are the best! Plus, they have a wide selection of pastries, and their mango cake is definitely a favorite! 

Another new café we stumbled upon! Aesthetic interiors—perfect for the feed. They’re a bit slow in serving, but I get it—they take their time to craft the perfect coffee. In terms of food? Obsessed with their fries dip and cookies!

A café we didn’t expect to love but now can’t get enough of! When we’re craving a quick bite (that turns into ordering a lot because it’s so affordable 😆), this is our go-to spot. It’s conveniently close to my daughter’s school and our home, making it the perfect place to relax, take a breather, and enjoy the open space. The staff are super nice, and the whole vibe just makes it a great escape from work when I need fresh air and a reset.

I’m a huge fan of pastries, so you can just imagine my reaction when I stumbled upon this cute little café! We haven’t dined in yet, but whenever I’m craving a dirty matcha and my sweet tooth kicks in, I make sure I have them to go!
