Note: I mainly used my phone to take photos. For our honeymoon, Mr FPJ and I booked in 5 nights at the Maldives (because #yolo). We purchased a package deal with Luxury Escapes at Finolhu resort in Baa Atoll. The package covered everything – return domestic transfers, an overwater villa (we paid extra to upgrade […] Read more…

Note: I was invited to Tipsy Tea at the White Rabbit Cocktail Room, however all opinions are my own. This was my first visit to the White Rabbit Cocktail Room and I arrived early (for a 2pm start) hoping to take some photos inside.
