FreshT is one of my favorite spots in Nanning! I stumbled upon this adorable place a few months ago and fell in love. Not only is this place so charming, they also make the most delicious fresh smoothies!

My 6 Everyday Beauty Must-Haves
Happy Monday! I wanted to share some of my favorite beauty products with you guys today. I always strive to look natural and glowing without wearing a ton of makeup. These are 6 of my everyday must-haves for achieving this natural look.
Clinique Even Better Foundation in No. 9 Sand
I've been using Clinique Foundation for as long as I can remember. I always mix a drop or two of this foundation with my moisturizer for more of a sheer coverage. I need to stock up on this when I get home... they don't sell anything remotely close to my color in China!
Benefit Erase Paste Concealer in No. 1 Fair
I just starting using this product a few months ago and I am obsessed with it! It is the perfect under-eye concealer and illuminator.
This bronzer gives me the perfect glow.
This is hands down one of the best beauty investments I have ever made. The shades are very neutral but not at all boring. My favorites are Virgin, Sin and Toasted. I love using these three shades together to get a rose gold look.
Maybelline Great Lash Mascara in Very Black
I can't say enough about this drug store classic.
Calvin Klein One Lipstick in No. 210 Fancy
I got this lipstick in a gift bag. I love the natural pinky hue and the luxurious creamy texture.

'Tis The Season
The season is finally here! I thought it was the perfect time to share some of the images from James' photo shoot with you guys. The team has a photo shoot before every season and this year I got to watch. It was pretty hilarious seeing all of the guys strike a pose! I tried to get James to smile a little bit, but clearly he didn't take any of my advice. The club will turn these images into banners and hang them in the stadium. I can't wait to see which one they choose for James at their first home game next week! It has been a long time since I have seen James play, so I cannot wait to cheer him on!

Panda Nail Art
This summer James and I are "tutoring" a little girl named Xi Xi. She is the 13-year-old daughter of the man who owns James' basketball club. We spend time with her so that she can practice her English. This week we went to get our nails done together and she convinced me to get pandas because that is what all of the cool kids are doing. She was right! I love how they came out! I will be rocking these little guys for the next few weeks (they are gel)!

Chinese Food
Since moving to China, I've learned that I have a very sensitive stomach. That has made it a little difficult to adapt to the local cuisine. After a few bouts of food poisoning and a traumatizing run-in with a pig carcass, I've got this eating thing down pat! I eat a lot of fruit, stir-fried vegetables and fish (no land animals). We have a great farmers' market near our home where we do most of our grocery shopping. Here is a look at a trip to the market and a typical lunch!
It is lychee season right now and I love it!

Chinese New Year in Thailand
For the Chinese New Year, James and I decided to take a trip to Thailand. We found out last minute that his team was getting a few weeks off for the holiday, so we had to plan our entire trip in less than 48 hours! We wanted a tropical getaway that was close and convenient, so Thailand was the perfect spot.
