    Don’t let your ice cream melt

    December 22, 2018 /

    Isn’t this the truth? Let’s all put our attention on our blessings, on what we have and not on what we don’t. Nothing increases the impact and delight of an experience than being fully present within it. Let’s not let distraction or comparison steal our joy. Deal?

    Healthy Weight – Beyond the Number

    Healthy weight has nothing to do with the number on the scale or the size of your body. It has everything to do with your strength, stamina, and energy.

    Fair Trade Chocolate – why should I pay more?

    March 30, 2014 /

    In the comfort of our homes or at our favourite restaurant, most us frequently enjoy chocolate in some form or another.  Perhaps it’s a creamy bowl of chocolate ice cream, a gooey brownie fresh from the oven, or a cup of hot cocoa.  Nestled among the cushions on the sofa or sitting around the table with friends, we don’t really consider how the chocolate got  to our plate, except via the kitchen. Many of you remember the disaster last year ago when the garment factory in Bangladesh collapsed and 112 workers were killed.…

    Lunar New Year, Hong Kong

    February 17, 2013 /

    Spending Lunar New Year in Hong Kong is an outstanding experience. The dragon dancers can be seen everywhere, writhing to the energetic drum beats, blessing businesses for a prosperous year to come. Every home and building is decorated with pink, red and the ubiquitous orange tree. In the foyer of a neighbouring hotel, we found the most detailed ginger sculpture, an homage to the new year to come. Visiting the largest temple in Hong Kong on Lunar New Year is an exercise in patience and not for the feint of heart nor…
