I’m most definitely a beach person. I love water over mountains any day. I am a Pisces afterall, so it only makes sense that I love a body of water over a majestic mountain. However, currently, living at almost 10,000 feet, I am giving mountain a life a try. One thing is for sure: IContinue reading Beach or Mountains?
We’re back to the beaches in Hong Kong. This past weekend was our first return; we went to Big Wave Bay. For this spring and summer my beach basics haven’t changed much. I’m still sportin’ denim cutoffs with a white top, but now I’m adding a couple of changes: rose gold sunnies, a frosty, nudeContinue reading Back to the Beach and My Five Beach Basics
What a wonderful week! There are two great perks of being an international educator: one, vacation time! Because we’re on a school year calendar, we are always welcomed by holiday time. It is a definite perk! The other benefit is living overseas in places like Asia where the travel opportunities are plenty. This is ourContinue reading Style Story: A Week’s Worth of Cover-ups
I need to get rash guard ready because in a little over a week, I’ll be heading to the beach of Boracay! I still love a tan–don’t get me wrong, but I don’t need the dark deep one that’s starting to make my skin look so dry and lizardy. In fact, these days, I preferContinue reading Rash Guard Ready for Boracay
Beautiful Bali The last time Kevin and I were in Ubud was 15 years ago. One thing that has not changed with this idyllic local in the mountains of Bali is its beauty. It’s just remarkable. On the other hand, the commerce has definitely increased as has the yoga zeal to the town. Also theContinue reading Beautiful Bali: Part 4, Ubud Rice Fields

There’s nothing like having beach braids while on vacation! Every day on at the beach on Koh Samed with Mary over Christmas, we would have our hair braided. We found a cute little gal named Fai who would experiment and try new styles on our hair each day. On our final day before leaving theContinue reading Beach Braids
This Saturday, the Passamonte family showed us a new beach in Sai Kung. Once you arrive to the reservoir, you then hike down to the beach. It was just lovely! You seriously have to pinch yourself. We brought a lunch to bbq; Paul made the most delicious ribs I have actually ever had. The dayContinue reading Sai Kung
This last weekend Hong Kong celebrated Mid Autumn Festival plus the city prepared for what was supposed to be its largest storm of the year. Luckily on Sunday evening as Typhoon Usagi was approaching Hong Kong it shifted north therefore diverting us. The upcoming typhoon didn’t stop us from visiting Big Wave Bay Beach onContinue reading Big Wave Bay
For Spring Break this year, we surprised the kids for the first time! Of course we decorated our eggs for Easter, BUT, the Easter Bunny got a hold of them. He put a message on each of the eggs that needed decoding. Once the kids figured out the clue, the message said, Do you wantContinue reading Surprise! We’re Going to the Beach!
