Chuan Yu Facial review at Chuan Spa, Langham Place Hotel, Mong Kok

Schooldays… the happiest days of your life, so they say. (‘They’ also say that possession is nine-tenths of the law, which is clearly a pretty dubious legal position, and so I wouldn’t set much store in ‘their’ advice, tbh). Well, … Continue reading

Magic Mirror review: Hong Kong’s coolest kids hair salon

I’m happy to say that Baby T-T seems to have inherited hair from my side of the gene pool, and I hope that this will be something he’ll be glad about in years to come, as Mr T-T tends – rather necessarily … Continue reading

Smart Mama Voucher Book: save money (and buy cocktails instead)…

… Ok, so I’m only half serious as fortunately, this rather cool voucher book has plenty of discounts on mum-friendly ‘activities’ (e.g. spas and booze), meaning no need to compromise the family funds for a good time to be had … Continue reading

Tattly temporary tattoos: ink your kids (without being arrested!)

Baby T-T and I recently experimented with a bit of body art, courtesy of Tattly, a US-based temporary tattoo company.

Mother’s Day manicures…

… UK Mother’s Day, that is! So many ways to celebrate the wonder of parenthood – I favour a sneaky manicure (without your child!). One of my recent faves was a spring-shade polish by new-to-HK French beauty brand, Caudalie. Specialising … Continue reading
