it should come as little to no surprise that when I was invited to Rosewood Hong Kong's Asaya Wellness for a little new mom treatment, I was strongly encouraged to take a little break and focus on me and my self care. Asaya Wellness recently partnered with Restoring Mums, offering new moms their famous slimum®️ treatment. Designed to help mom's new post-baby body adjust to physical, mental, and emotional changes, slimum®️ for Asaya treatment is the perfect package for new moms looking for a little pampering time that also benefits their health.

After spending a few days on the northern coast of Hokkaido in Otaru, we hopped in the car and trekked inwards towards the mountains and lakes for a weekend escape in nature. About 2.5 hours south of Otaru, and about an hour south of Sapporo, is the stunning Lake Shikotsu. Lake Shikotsu is a deep caldera lake, surrounded by 3 active volcanoes - Mount Eniwa, Mount Tarumae, and Mount Fuppushi. As we drove in from the north, stopping alongside the Izari River to take in the gorgeous, wintry nature of Hokkaido, we drove down alongside Mount Eniwa before the lake suddenly appeared.

A Weekend By The Lake // Lake Shikotsu

Last year was our first summer with our precious little Luca. He wasn't even one year old yet, but we thought it would be fun to introduce him to a little travel since hopefully he will be traveling more often later in his life. The Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong offers a Pawfect Stay package that is perfect for our four-legged fur babies and offers some romantic time for fur mama and fur dada too. I had yet to experience a staycation at the Ritz-Carlton Hong Kong, so this was an exciting opportunity for both me and Luca.

A Pawfect Stay with Luca at Ritz Carlton Hong Kong

One thing I love about Hong Kong is the city's ability to beautifully blend modern and contemporary with the classical and antiquity. Old Hong Kong and new Hong Kong alluringly come together in places such as West Kowloon, where you can still find treasures of Hong Kong from decades past in neighborhoods like Yau Ma Tei and Jordan. On this visit, we got to experience both the old and the new, celebrating one of the liveliest areas of the city. With that said, grab some tea and come take a neighborhood walk with me!

HK Neighborhood Walk: Yau Ma Tei / Jordan

When most people think of Cambodia, they tend to think of one of the most beautiful and iconic symbols of the country - Angkor Wat. A world famous UNESCO World Heritage site, Angkor Wat, which literally translates to "Temple City" in Khmer, is one of the largest Buddhist temples in the world spanning nearly 402 acres just to the north of Siem Reap. In this post, I'm sharing all about my visit to Angkor Wat and how you can dress appropriately when visiting the temple.

What To Wear at Angkor Wat

This is a blog post I have been looking forward to writing for so long. I am extremely grateful and very fortunate to have been able to experience all kinds of adventures and make such fond memories from destinations all around the world, and this one evening in Siem Reap, Cambodia will always remain one of my absolute favorites. I can remember every detail even two years later. It was such a memorable experience that I have been telling pretty much everyone about it ever since that day. Our hotel, Belmond La Résidence d’Angkor, offers a unique dining experience with DineBeyond. DineBeyond hosts dining experiences throughout Cambodia, and they have a beautiful spot just outside of Siem Reap - Villa Chandara.

An Evening to Remember: Villa Chandara

I can still smell the lemongrass. I can still hear the tuk-tuks zipping by on the streets. I can still taste the tamarind. I can still feel the refreshing rain on my skin in the middle of a very hot and humid day. I can still see Cambodia. Two years ago this month, I embarked on one of the most memorable adventures in my life. I've always been an adventurous person, and I've always been someone who likes to trek off the beaten path. Cambodia had always been on my list, and during my first visit to Hong Kong in September 2019, I decided to scratch it off my bucket list and hop on a quick flight southwest to Siem Reap.

Postcards from Siem Reap

Two weeks ago, I turned 31. It wasn't a milestone birthday, but since I had spent my 30th birthday in quarantine after returning from London at the beginning of the pandemic, I wasn't going to object to doing something special this year. As COVID-19 restrictions have eased in Hong Kong, as well as case numbers continuing to decrease (0 new cases were recorded during our visit), I was looking forward to a more "normal" birthday. So when the Four Seasons Hong Kong invited me for a rejuvenating staycation over my birthday weekend, which happens to coincide with the Four Seasons brand's birthday, I packed my bags several days beforehand and couldn't wait to finally visit one of the most renowned luxury hotels in the city.

A Rejuvenating Birthday at Four Seasons Hong Kong

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.

Up in the Sky at The Upper House

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 always wanted to visit Vietnam, and was originally supposed to visit in September 2019 but postponed until January 2020 to be able to celebrate Lunar New Year in Vietnam. 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.
