This is going to sound like a random desire, but I’ve always imagined what it would be like to join the ladies who lunch. This is an expat term used in various parts of the world where I’ve lived. I don’t even know if it’s a Stateside expression. Maybe it’s a description used only forContinue reading Ladies Who Lunch
What’s your cozy? We all have cozy comforts. One of mine is sitting by a fire reading a book. This is especially my favorite cozy comfort for when it’s cold outside.Continue reading What’s Your Cozy?
Rico has arrived to Quito! He’s here!! Goodness, the hard work and many, many hours that Kevin has put into getting Rico in Quito has been intense.

Whoah! The Year of the Rat was a doozy! Both Kevin and I are rats too, so we couldn’t help but feel the zodiac weight of the world that was last year.

I mean temperatures aside, we all feel really cold over here. There is no heating insider our buildings here in Hong Kong–unless you count my Fashy (my hotContinue reading I Love Cold Hong Kong
I’ve been very confused by those that refuse to wear the mask. I see stories online either via news channels or my Instagram feed; some people are very opposed about having to wear a mask. This baffles me. It absolutely doesn’t make any sense. To wear a mask is the respectful thing to do forContinue reading Wear a Mask

There’s something about animal print and fall that are synonymousContinue reading Leopard Love Still Going Strong and Why I’ve Been Silent
Would You Do a Small or Big Wedding Kiss? Kevin and I just celebrated our 23rd anniversary this past July 25th. I loved looking at these wedding kiss pictures Cup of Jo found.

I can remember a conversation I had with my dad back in February. Hong Kong was a month into Covid-19, and for some reason I had the intuition to know it wasn’t going to be good. I remember saying to my dad, “I don’t know if we will be able to come home this summer…”Continue reading Hong Kong Summer 2020
This blog post is late. I let what I wrote last night sit for 24 hours, and now I have deleted it all. I’m so glad I did because it was irrelevant, so now I will be brief. My lack of creativity aside, the world is in a complete state of turmoil. Yes, I realizeContinue reading Getting Educated
