Despite chopping my hair shorter, I didn't really need to change any of my hair care products that I had been relying on to grow my hair out naturally and to keep it healthy. I did switch things up a bit for a little while, but ultimately decided to go back to my usual routine and usual products, which I share below. I just want to point out that hair care is more than just what you use on your head - it also involves eating a healthy diet, drinking plenty of water, using certain tools, and limiting heat.

What better way to fully immerse yourself in springtime than to have it reflect in your wardrobe colors?

For those that have been following me for the last year and a half, there's been one special furry addition to my life. Over a year and a half ago, I was introduced to a lovely little lad named Argos here in Hong Kong. You've seen Argos make a few cameos on my social media, usually by photobombing my photo shoots because he loves attention, and he's even appeared on the blog when we stayed at the Rosewood Hong Kong back in 2019. Named after Odysseus's loyal dog in The Odyssey, he's my beau's dog, having been adopted in Australia. He is one unique little fella, both in personality and physicality (he has alopecia on the underside of his body which makes him feel like smooth velvet). I wasn't sure what our relationship would be like when we first met, so this is the story of our journey and our new bond.

Argos And Me: Our Story
Hong Kong is a very vertical city, with skyscrapers and buildings towering over the winding streets below. It's difficult to have a bad view of Hong Kong from pretty much any point, however being up in the sky provides you an opportunity to oversee everything in the city. Towering over the neighborhood of Admiralty on Hong Kong Island is the JW Marriott, and on the top few floors of that houses one of the most luxurious hotels in the city - The Upper House.

There were so many aspects of Bridgerton that we loved, with the costumes making us swoon (along with the handsome Duke of Hastings). While we don't dress that way anymore, although personally I don't think I could remain in a corset all day long, the style is still an inspiration today. With elegant patterns and modest silhouettes, it's possible to feel like you're on the set of Bridgerton this spring and summer. I'm sharing some beautiful pieces that are very Bridgerton-like, as well as sharing who my favorite character is. I bet you can guess though...

Hội An is an extremely popular destination for Tết for Vietnamese nationals and international tourists due to it’s proximity to the sea but also due to its pride in local culture.

I had my heart set on the beautiful, lantern filled, canal city of Hội An as the perfect place to ring in the new year and to introduce myself to Vietnam.

I try to invest in coats that will last years as well as work with several different outfits. Most of the coats in my closet are several years old but still look and feel brand new despite being worn continuously over the years. They also continually pair with my style and outfits every year, even if my style slightly changes or evolves. Plus, finding coats that will remain a staple in your closet is both environmentally and economically friendly.
