sia's kitchen

its' hard to find good samoan food in perth, which i think sometimes makes my husband a little sad. so, we were stoked to find out that a lady from church had opened a samoan food store at the wanneroo markets and decided to check it on mondays public holiday.

my very happy husband had a plate packed with a little bit of almost everything they had on offer, while the kids and i had chop suey and rice, with coconut buns for dessert. so so yum. looks like we will be heading back here more often. go and try sia's kitchen in the courtyard at the wanneroo markets. even if you're not samoan (or married to one!) it's worth a try.

also... these kids are the cutest. that is all ♥

mailelani products

when shopping at the supermarket in samoa, i kept an eye for any lotions or the likes that might be nice to take home as gifts for friends... imagine my delight when i found the mailelani range, really reasonably priced and all kinds of amazing. i grabbed a few to give as gifts, but also bought myself the body scrub... which smells like heaven. i seriously cannot tell you enough how good it smells. i got the coconut one and everytime i'm in the shower i'm scrubbing away like a crazy person cause it's so good. 

downside? i bought them in samoa... not much hope for a restock there - until i discovered that they have a website and one of the stockists is in australia!!! i am so excited and am definitely buying more, soon. go have a look here - you will not be disappointed. natural, samoan made beauty products. so, so good.
