This has been a hot week (as I like to say, “toasty toasty toasty! ☀️”) but an overall great one. I am feeling kind of torn down the middle myself. On one hand, I’m starting to feel more like myself this summer. Working out feels great, I am making time for friends again, signing up for new things to try, finding my groove with blogging. On the other hand, I’m truly so tired trying to fit it all in. I want to do all the things (which honestly is a nice feeling!) and also want to just climb into bed the minute the sun goes down. I guess it’s still a balancing game—and really, when won’t it be?! 😅
I’ve started a new routine, waking up early to enjoy the cooler mornings with some stretching 🌄. It’s my time to clear my head before the day’s chaos begins. Then it’s back to juggling daily tasks, meeting up with friends for iced coffee ☕️, and doing yoga to stay centered 🧘♀️.
There’s a certain magic in the long summer evenings, where the days seem to stretch endlessly. Sometimes I find myself daydreaming about the cozy vibes of pre-fall 🍂. The thought of cooler weather, warm drinks, and the first hint of autumn leaves is so comforting.
Balancing it all—social life, personal time—can be a challenge. But I’m learning to embrace the chaos, to find joy in the little things, and to allow myself the luxury of doing nothing every once in a while. And let’s not forget the joy of eating kakigoori (shaved ice) to beat the heat! 🍧 What’s your favorite way to enjoy these summer days? 💖

Oh, Budapest! One highlight that still makes me smile was my visit to the stunning New York Café. It felt like stepping into a grand, golden world filled with elegance and charm.
As soon as I walked in, I was awestruck by the opulent decor. Crystal chandeliers sparkled from the ceilings, and every inch of the space seemed to be dripping in gold. The intricate frescoes on the walls and ceilings made it feel like I was inside a beautiful painting.
And then there was the music. A live pianist played the most beautiful melodies, adding a touch of magic to the already enchanting atmosphere. The gentle notes of the piano created the perfect soundtrack for this glamorous setting. It was like living in a fairytale for a few hours.
If you ever find yourself in Budapest, I can’t recommend the New York Café enough. It’s a little slice of heaven on earth🌟
What about you? Do you have any favorite spots from your travels that you love reminiscing about? I’d love to hear all about them!

Getting back into the gym has been such a good feeling after my Europe trip. I realized just how much I missed moving my body 💪. This summer, I’m focused on gaining more muscle and rediscovering my love for exercise.
Here’s to staying active and setting new goals 🌞.
Love, Rikako 💕

Today, I was invited to celebrate a dear family friend’s 80th birthday 🎉. It was such a lovely gathering with so many familiar faces and warm conversations. Seeing everyone come together to honor someone so special was truly heartwarming ❤️.
I brought a bouquet of her favorite flowers 💐, and the smile on her face when she saw them was priceless. We spent the day sharing stories, laughing, and just enjoying each other's company. I’m really focusing on being happy every day, and I love sweet moments like these 🥰.

### Rediscovering Hiyashi Chuka on a Hot Summer Day
After my trip to Europe, I was really missing good food in Japan. Yesterday was so hot, and I found the perfect way to cool down—enjoying Hiyashi Chuka after such a long time. It was refreshing and exactly what I needed.
I'm looking forward to trying more summer foods this season. Any recommendations?
