Spoil your sun-kissed skin: DIY Tropical Body Mist

1 / 2 / own vintage print / 4

Oh sweet summer! It's my favorite time of the year. I often say that I was born in the wrong country as I dread the cold and love the heat. This is perhaps one of the reasons why I moved to Hong Kong. And although our beaches here are far from being as beautiful as the ones in Thailand or Bali, there are some hidden gems that invite you to swim, paddle board, surf or just chill by the sea.

Tea & Talk: Beauty secrets from Annie Fung (my birthday gift)

So today is my birthday. It's funny: since I turned 30 two years ago, I kind of stopped counting the digit after the big 3 and on each birthday I have to ask my hubby how old I am.

His reply always surprises me. Seriously! In my mind I'm still 24 years old. 

I don't know why it's particularly 24, but I think it's because it sounds nice and on some days I catch myself behaving accordingly. Not sure if this is a good or bad thing. But, hey, one needs to embrace the inner child, right?

Bucket List: Vietnam & my powerful Green Tea Scrub

Six Senses Con Dao

Next up on my bucket list of must-visit spa destinations is Vietnam. While there are many well-known spa resorts located around Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, I'm particularly interested in a little island called Con Dao. Never heard before? Yeah, me neither until I stumbled upon a travel magazine article that raves about its untouched beauty and lush tropical mangroves.

Bucket List: Bali & Nourishing Homemade Hair Mask

Como Shambhala Bali Estate

A little island that has been on my bucket list for many years now is Bali. Search for yoga & wellness retreats on the internet and you'll get at least 20 entries for this "heaven on earth" as yogis, surfers, hippies and world travelers call it. And it's such a shame I've never been there given how close I am (in a geographical and philosophical sense). Despite my meditational efforts, I often become jealous whenever friends or family brag about traveling there, participating in a cleansing yoga retreat, fun surf camp or re-enerizing spirit festival.

Sneak Peek...

Six Senses Spa Vietnam

Wanderlust. While many friends spent their Chinese New Year holidays in a beautiful, warm spot somewhere in Asia, we just had a lazy stay-cation. In order to not get utterly depressed about this, I self-medicated with a pile of travel, spa and yoga magazines. With the result that I now have a long bucket list of places & spaces I need to visit - aka my "100 must-see spas before I die".

If you are in the midst of planning your next holiday, get ready for this. In the coming weeks, I'll take you on a virtual journey to some of the most beautiful and exquisite spa retreats across Asia. My mission: To leave you feeling intense wanderlust!
