Even my feelings have feelings! It’s true; they do! When I saw this t-shirt, I had to have it. It literally spoke to me. I could relate to the sentiment so completely. Maybe it’s because I’m a Pisces—one of the zodiac signs that portrays a lot of emotions, but perhaps they all do…. Regardless, itContinue reading Even My Feelings Have Feelings (and Some Thoughts on Parenting)
Spring is here! And for once in Hong Kong, spring is lasting longer than a week! Usually, we’ll have one amazing spring day, and it will feel like the next day the weather skipped all the way to hot summer. But touch wood–spring is here in Hong Kong, and it has been lovely! During ourContinue reading Spring is Here!
I’m a list maker. I love making lists. So, in an attempt to mix things up a bit, I thought I’d start sharing some of my lists here and there. First though, what will today’s list be about….? La Vita é Bella of course! For non Italian speakers, this means “Life is Beautiful!” Each oneContinue reading La Vita é Bella–Making Lists
Over our spring break holiday we went camping in Hong Kong. Wow! It was so fun, super relaxing, just a bit adventurous, and extremely beautiful. Hong Kong is known for being a bustling city–which by all means it is. Yet, there’s such a majestic, natural beauty to the area that many don’t know about. LetContinue reading Camping in Hong Kong
Thank goodness yesterday ended our spring break with a trip to Big Wave Bay! I’m just home from a day of work and feel exhausted; it’s always tough going back to work after a holiday. This time around we had a staycation in Hong Kong that included a visit from my newborn nephew who isContinue reading Spring’s First Visit to Big Wave Bay
We went to see Ready Player One this weekend. I’ve been anticipating this movie since I read the amazing book by Ernest Kline last summer. (Here’s my book with an outfit for Ready Player One–I need to start creating these posts again.) Vincent read the book in two days, handed it over to me, andContinue reading Ready Player One
Wearing yellow isn’t for everyone–even though I’m giving it a good attempt this spring with yellow trousers here and a sequins shift here. Since wearing yellow is one of the more difficult shades of color to wear, here I’m showing an easy way to incorporate this popular spring color: statement yellow earrings paired with aContinue reading Wearing Yellow–When It Doesn’t Look Good On You
It’s March, and everyone dealing with the end of this winterish month is eager for spring’s rainbow! For all of us in Hong Kong are winter chill is over but we still quite don’t know how many layers to wear. Suffice it to say that a jean jacket is always the perfect layer this timeContinue reading Rainbow Bright! A Fab 40s Post
I’m reading again! This is really important since my day job is as a high school librarian after all. So why would I all of a sudden start reading again? Well, I’ve eliminated a past time that was replacing my reading time: Instagram. For the last month I’ve given up on that social media. Well,Continue reading I’m Reading Again–Because I Quit Instagram
Wearing yellow for all of us is tricky–at least it is for me. It has to be the exact yellow for most people. My yellow has to have more white in it; I can’t wear mustard or an orangey yellow. It’s got to be clear and bright like canary yellow, and even then it mayContinue reading Wearing Yellow–It’s Tricky for Most of Us!
I bought this boho romper just for my travels to Luang Prabang. I’ll often do that: buy a special outfit that I think will suit the destination for where I’m traveling. It was by chance that we happened upon a bamboo bridge that matched my boho romper perfectly. This bamboo bridge is only up forContinue reading Boho Romper in Luang Prabang
For my birthday, celebrated in Luang Prabang, Laos, we all went to cooking school. It was such fun, and of course very, very delicious. Any good cooking school starts with the local market–in which we had an extensive visit. It was so fascinating, super colorful, and full of smells, both good and bad! The actualContinue reading Cooking School in Luang Prabang
