This week I’ve rounded up a bunch of different ab challenges. Yep! It’s bikini season–yikes!! In anticipation of sitting on my dock in the (hopeful) sun out at Spirit Lake, I need to do some serious ab exercises. I’ve been looking online and have found Pinterest to have the best search. Here are the abContinue reading Ab Challenge Roundup
One of the really cool things about writing this blog and “Getting the Best Out of Hong Kong” is sometimes I get invites to different events happening. This last weekend Found the Sound there was a sidewalk concert held outside of Fashion Walk in Causeway Bay. After a hot day that included both kayaking andContinue reading Found the Sound at Fashion Walk
This past Saturday was a very special day. Both Gigi and Vincent received their First Holy Communion. One neat aspect of living in Hong Kong has been able to join a parish again. Both Kevin and I were raised Catholic, went to parochial schools and Jesuit high schools. Since leaving our hometowns and setting outContinue reading Saturday’s Best
1. It’s true: 42 years ago today I was born! This is also what happened on February 21st, 1972. 2. I’m the oldest of five siblings: me, then Julie, Adrian, Mary, then Nicholas. 3. I can touch my nose with my tongue! 4. I’m a pisces plus a rat. 5. I’ve lived in 8 countries:Continue reading 42 Facts
It’s been a while since I posted an adventure in Hong Kong here on Kremb de la Kremb, and visiting the Big Buddha for the second time seems like the perfect touristy post. While Elle was here we did all sorts of touristy things: markets, hikes, beaches (she tried out surfing for the first time),Continue reading Big Buddha Round 2
This is my new street address, Stanley Market Road, and I LOVE IT! I haven’t taken a moment to catch my breath since we’ve moved in and reflect on how much I love my new home. (My parents arrived moments after the move-in date, then Elle arrived, and now Kevin’s folks are here–yes, come visit!)Continue reading Stanley Market Road
What a better post to start the new year than one with my Sister Sister, Mary! I feel so lucky that we were able to spend time with her at Samed Villa Resort on Koh Samed. On the eve of the new year she even consented to take a few fashion shots with me. IContinue reading Sister Sister
What a great year! Looking back on 2013 I definitely rekindled my passion for fashion and blogged much more than I have in the past. It’s been so fun. My mind is much more creative than it has been in years which feels very good. I have had some amazing experiences here in Hong KongContinue reading Looking Back on 2013
It was especially fun to decorate the house for Christmas this year since we have just recently moved. We now live right in the heart of Stanley above all the action. Every day we watch the throngs of people coming to admire our little neighborhood. Here you can see up to our place from theContinue reading Krembs’ House at Christmas
My Saturday with Monica was beyond decadent! Monica is the food writer and founder of The Yum List; that means she has to, as in it’s mandatory for her to try, sample, taste, no experience food! Can you imagine the divinity of this? Well I did for one afternoon. It was pure bliss. Monica invitedContinue reading Afternoon Tea at the Grand Hyatt, Hong Kong
It’s fair to say that the golden glow of summer’s sun is fast fading for many of us. Yet, that doesn’t mean we all have to turn pasty white and abandon a nice glow. Below you will find all of my favorites, well stocked in my vanity, for maintaining just a hint of color throughoutContinue reading Winter Tan
Wow! It’s not very often that I feel completely overwhelmed, but this last week has been hmmm, what’s the word for beyond busy? Overloaded? Utterly maximized? Cray cray? But look! I’m all mixed up, but I’m still smiling. I’m finally taking a little moment to catch my breath–in Beijing! I brought a group of 6Continue reading All Mixed Up
