Top Five iPhone Apps

I like to think that I'm not one of these people who is constantly glued to their phone (though I do spend an awful lot of time online, be it with my phone or computer), and certainly compared to many people in Hong Kong who play games with…

Outfit – Shades for Days

I am obsessed with my new sunglasses, and it's definitely the time of year for them (when the rainstorms Hong Kong is prone to let up). This pair was very kindly sent to me by SmartBuyGlasses, in exchange for including them in this post. I chose the Ray…

A-Z of My Favourite Albums

I was brainstorming what else I could potentially make an A-Z list of, now that I've covered quite a few already, and settled on choosing my favourite albums for each letter. This produces an interesting list, as it means some of my favourite bands are featured multiple times,…

Your Feelings Are Valid

Your feelings are valid. Always remember that. We exist in microcosms and macrocosms, affected by the events of the wider world, and by the small day to day occurrences of our personal lives. Yes, there are terrible things happening in the world, and yes, there are people out…

Outfit – Tropical Storms

Summer in Hong Kong means heat and humidity; but that humidity also means rain. And by rain, I mean torrential tropical thunderstorms! It hasn't stopped raining for the past week, and is scheduled to continue for the next one too. Since I finally got my camera back from…

An Afternoon in Aberdeen | Hong Kong

Despite having lived in Scotland for the first 21 years of my life, I've never been to Aberdeen - I lived in the Lowlands, and just never had reason to go. So imagine my surprise to discover that Aberdeen also exists in Hong Kong. There's actually a lot…

Yellow | Colour

It's bright, cheery, and happy. It's vibrant and energising. It's sickly and nauseating. (source) It's the bright sunlight beating down on a hot day. It's fluffy, baby chicks waddling on tiny legs on the spring. It's vats of rich, smooth, freshly-churned butter. It's the tiny rows…

Travel Inspiration – Costa Rica

I feel like Costa Rica has been gaining in popularity as a travel destination a lot in recent years; it's certainly the country I'd heard the most about in Central America, prior to my trip there (Mexico excluded). It's got a bit of everything I guess, beaches, jungles,…

Top Five TV Shows of 2016-2017

I'm a TV junkie, I really am. It's appalling how many shows I try to keep up with, and every year I say "oh I won't start many new ones this time", yet I still do. Or I binge watch something over the summer, then add it…
