Mint Cookies

Following on from my HK post yesterday…Whenever I go overseas I always pick up some different lollies, chocolates and biscuits. I love trying new products and looking a different packaging. My boys and I are LOVING these mint/chocolate McVities Cookies from Hong Kong (a mix between an Oreo and a digestive). YUM!!

Hong Kong

Places to go, things to see….I went on a recent trip to Hong Kong. It’s such a fantastic city. Great shopping, amazing food, pretty skyline, filled with lots of exciting things to see and do and buy of course. Here are a few of my tips:

*Pack light – you’ll need lot’s of room for all that shopping.

*Make sure you catch a ferry at least once – such a great way to see the city from different vantage point.

*Visit Lane Crawford, a great way to shop – great product mix (men, women, kids) with helpful staff and merchandised beautifully.

*Have lunch at one of the many delicious Food Courts – yes, that’s right a food court (not like the normal ones you get in Australia) a gourmets delight.

* Have a green tea ice cream at City Super and stock up on some yummy chocolates, cookies, lollies etc… the food is so good you wont want to leave.

*On the way home, stop at Page One newsagent/bookstore at the airport. Fabulous coffee table books that are reasonably priced.

I heart HONG KONG!!!

Happy Mother’s Day – The Best PJ’s

yvette — Sat, 12 May 2012 04:08:30 +0000

Sunday morning is a time when you want to sleep in, especially this Sunday, if you are a mum (Happy Mother’s Day). And with temperatures dropping it’s time to get into some winter PJ’s. At the moment I am loving these men’s inspired cotton ones from Sambag – I love them so much I had to get two pairs (Navy with white pipping & White with navy pipping) they are crisp and comfy but also sexy. Also available in pale pink with white pipping. Price $80.00 Click to buy: www.sambag.com.au

A Luxurious T-Shirt

yvette — Fri, 11 May 2012 00:28:28 +0000

The $100 + t-shirt is hard to stomach; and it’s understandable. But, for people who live in t-shirts like me, you will see a huge difference between a basic bonds tee and say an Isabel Marant Doris T-shirt. A well cut tee made from nice quality cotton or a cotton/linen blend makes your boobs, arms and torso look like you’ve been retouched for a magazine shoot! Worth the $$$.
