One of my favorite things about traveling is being able to interact with the locals. Because what’s the point of traveling if I’m not able to go outside of my comfort zone to learn something new? On my second day in the Bahamas, I was able to visit downtown Bahamas to see the local life. It was so interested being able to walk down the street of vendors where every shop carried something different. I picked up this hat from this amazing old lady who proclaims herself as “the best hat maker” on the island. My hat was hand woven and is easily foldable to fit in my luggage, it’s such a unique find. But the coolest find was this little coconut shack by the waters where the owner cut down fresh coconuts to give you the freshest coconut water.
Now that I’m pregnant I’m very cautious of the things I put into my body (one of the reasons why I quit coffee!) But when I saw this coconut stand in the Bahamas, I immediately knew I had to try it. Coconut water has so much benefits for your body, I definitely recommend you guys incorporate it into your diet. Coconut water is great for flushing out your system, and it’s low in fat but high in potassium. It’s so hard to stay healthy while traveling, so I’m really glad I was able to have this on my trip. I’m sad I won’t be able to get coconut water cut fresh from the trees anymore, but it’s definitely a drink I’m having regularly at the local markets to stay healthy!

You quit coffee completely??
You quit coffee completely??
I wish you a lot of joy and happiness with your soon to be father! You look really happy, calm and balanced. You will make a great mom! Just remember that in order to take care of your child you have to take care of yourself. That will help especially a girl to grow up as independent and balanced woman.
Lot’s of luck to you and enjoy life like you see it fits best! Congrats again!

I think Costco is selling this super yummy coconut water and it’s a bit pricey, but so worth it! It’s really good. It only lasts like 1-2 weeks in the fridge because they don’t add anything to it so when you’re back from traveling, make sure to try some!
You look lovely as always.

Oh, fresh, natural coconut water is the best thing ever! So many benefits, just like you said.
Interacting with locals is one of my favourite things as well when traveling. You always get to learn a lot from them and get the tips about the best spots and similar.
I love your skirt, so pretty and girly! 🙂

Living in a tropical country, fresh coconut is available all year round which is a treat! All the recipes that you could make out of it are delicious and tummy filling. Have you tried Buko Pandan? It’s glorious. Here’s a recipe {http://www.yummy.ph/recipe/Classic-Buko-Pandan} in case.
I love the skirt Chriselle and congrats again on the baby! Love you!
