Around the World - Detroit, MI - RiotJane

The Around the World series in a country or city will not feel complete without a photography shop, so here is my pick from Detroit - riotjane. :) I featured the dog in glasses picture before, but I love it so much so I decided to feature it again. What I love about her photography is the hint of forlorn and loneliness in her photos. It might not be the happiest things to look at, but it clicks with me and I like it. I just love the quiet beauty and the pretty colors.

Introducing Silver!

I don't believe I have introduced my new cat to ya'all yet. Here is Silver, my new 1 year old tabby! (Silver says hi too!)

I didn't found Silver, she found me! Three days after Ginger's passing I saw a grey tabby with the most beautiful mint green eyes sleeping on my porch. This never happens because the porch was Ginger's territory, and she was a very territorial cat. It took me a week before I get acquainted (ie: feed) this young tabby, as she was very timid and keep running away every time I come out of the house. I had to catch her when she was still half asleep.

Long story short, Silver is now my new porch cat! She loves to grovel at my feet, (I suspect she has a foot fetish) she absolutely loves to roll around on her back, she loves greenies, playing with feathers, going out hunting (she brought back two big rats before) and she loves to sleep against the wall.

Silver has a kinked tail, the ends curled up into a tight curl much like a spring, which caused this stubby look.

Her pretty mint green eyes. :)

Around the World - Detroit, MI - DressGreen

Although I haven't tried their products before, but I had always admired DressGreen for their consistent branding. I've found them for over a year now, in my earlier days of discovering handmade soap, and up until now they had not change their branding, it stays consistent. The clean design using selected solid colors, as well as the clean, simple photography, makes them stand out from other soap sellers. The design does give the impression of eco-friendliness, and professionalism. Which in my book, is already a winner. :) Maybe I will try out their products eventually, one day in the future. (when I diminish my soap collection considerably haha)

Thailand

Thailand was amazing!! Although it was just a short trip and mostly a shopping trip, but it was quite enjoyable save for a few mishaps. Oh, Lady Gaga's Born This Way Tour was a pretty mind blowing experience too! I didn't take a lot of photos unfortunately because we didn't went to see the scenic views, but here are the ones I did take. :)

Saw this super cool retro looking radio in a vintage shop. LOVE this shop, but the things are so pricey omg.

I want to have another trip to Bangkok again some time in the future though. There are so many things and places that I had not visited yet, like the floating markets and the many palaces and temples. I also have not had a massage, and rode on a tuktuk yet! Or have authentic Thai tomyum, or mango sticky rice. So much to do! Perhaps a longer trip next time? Yeah, that sounds good. :)

Going to Thailand!

I'm flying to Bangkok, Thailand in 5 hours time to see Lady Gaga's Born This Way tour tomorrow night! Soooooo excited!! I'm soooo excited to go to Bangkok too because I've never been there although they are a neighboring country, haha. I'll take lots of photos and share with you all when I come back on Sunday! First time backpacking it too, I'm only carrying a backpack and a sling bag. Hopefully I don't shop too much now. Haha!
