     Lifestyle      24 Comments

Questioner For The Interview

1. What is One fashion rule you never break?

To be honest, I always break the rule. I will wear what is right for me and I won’t wear something I do not like and follow my heart of fashion.

2. What interests you in Fashion?

Fashion means expressing yourself. I Love fashion because it is like an extension of my personality and feelings and my daily mood can be reflected with whatever I feel like wearing.

3. What styling advice would you give to your younger self??

Looking at my “younger self” pictures, I would definitely give myself the advice, not to listen to my parents, haha. Same here, I should wear what I like, not what my parents liked.

4. How would you describe a perfect Fashion look and is there a person who is an inspiration to you for this?

I don’t have an exact order of what you need to wear and mix with what piece, therefore I would like to give 3 fashion tips instead
– Always open your mind and try new stuff. You will never know, if you do not try it. Surprise yourself. 
– Create your own identity
– Wear what makes you feel good and happy

5. One tip you would like to give to our readers?

Create your own lookbook / style. Fashion is so much fun and allows you to be who you want to be.

Keep Calm It’s My 30th Birthday

Welcome to 30ies Club. My husband and I had a wonderful day in the Ritz Carlton Spa yesterday to celebrated my birthday and I have to say it is the best spa in the town.  Ritz Carlton Spa has given me and my husband the most enjoyable and unforgettable experience on my big 30th birthday.

BEST LUXURY RETREAT IN HONG KONG

Ritz Carlton Spa located at 116th floor (1588ft) of ICC building is one of the highest spa in the world and Tripadvisor’s Top 3 best spa in Hong Kong. We had a “Birthday Delight” package, which includes:

* 80mins body scrub and body massage

* A light buffet at Club Lounge

* Access to swimming pool and fitness centre

We arrived at the hotel before noon time with the eye-catching Spa reception to confirm our booking, then we had directly lunch at the Club Lounge. The staff guided us to a window seat table and poured us 2 glass of champagne to congratulate for my birthday. The lounge with stunning views across Kowloon side and the weather was perfect with a beautiful blue sky. We have spent almost 2 hours to stay in the lounge to enjoy the fascinating view, delicious food and free flow champagne. The staff surprised us with a lovely chocolate cake.

After lunch, we stayed at the swimming pool before our treatment started. The pool is magnificent and you can get 180 degree Hong Kong sea view as the pool is located at the top of the ICC building. It is also the highest swimming pool in the world.

My therapist was waiting outside, my husband and I had a single room, she was very friendly and professional. After the treatment you can stay in the relaxation lounge to enjoy beautiful views of the Victoria Harbour or keep continue to stay in the pool. In the end, the staff surprised me with birthday greetings and a lovely photo collage with my family on the photo. I am so impressed by how the staff at Ritz-Carlton Hotel truly care for their customers.

Bakebe – The place and app that turns you into a cook

     Food      26 Comments

Last Friday, I was invited by Bakebe to their Co-Baking Studio in Hong Kong to bake a cake with their bakebe app. They created their own app to show the customers what to do – step by step. To be honest, I was really excited because making deserts/cakes was not one of my talents and I couldn’t believe that I can bake a cake without any cooking teacher. 

First, the staff has shown me where to get all the ingredients, tools and oven. The studio itself was very professional, everything was so well organised, fully equipped with all you need and clean. They passed me an iPad and then I wore my cute apron. Soon afterwards, I followed the apps guidance to prepare all the ingredients. Bakebe’s app was user-friendly and each step has shown me very clear what to do next – and they even had small videos and pictures to explain the single steps.    

I had a lot of fun, even decorated my pretty cake.

This beautiful cake is called “Baby On The Cloud”. You can choose your favourite colours and decorations. I choose dark chocolate (I love dark chocolate).

I learned how to frost a cake (was not perfect but I had a lot of fun), how to cut the cake and to make it flat. During the baking time, you can get water, tea and coffee. Keep calm and relax :-). The class took around 2.5 hours, which was a perfect amount of time for a quick activity. I shared my cake with my family and they loved the taste.

Bakebe had a really cool idea, it was so much fun, really enjoyable. You don’t need to book a teacher, no need to have experience. Just bring yourself. That’s awesome, right?  I can’t wait to go back again.

THE DESERT IS A DREAM: QSAR AL SARAB DESERT RESORT BY ANANTARA

     Travel      61 Comments

Qsar Al Sarab Desert Resort By Anantara is one of the most luxurious, exclusive and beautiful hotels in the world and is located in Rub’Al Khali, a 1.5 hours drive from Abu Dhabi. For our honeymoon, my husband and I would like to avoid the busy tourist area from the City. We have spent most of our time at the desert, exploring the Anantara resort. 

ANANTARA ROYAL PAVILION POOL VILLA

Anantara Qsar Al Sara offers 140 rooms, 14 suites and 52 villas.
We had a Anantara Royal Pavilion Pool Villa and the room was huge, including a deluxe terrace with a Bali bed and an outdoor shower. The surrounding landscape and dunes are breath-taking and can be seen directly from the villa. The dunes and pool were a perfect combination, to refresh from the hot desert sun.

When we arrived at the hotel, the staff was already waiting for us. The staff guided us to the Lobby, giving us refreshment towels and welcome drinks – Middle East’s coffee upon check-in. We immediately fell in love being in the middle of nowhere.

Don’t worry about feeling bored in the resort. They had a lot of activities offered by the hotel (cooking class, yoga, camel ride, desert hiking etc).

BUFFET BREAKFAST IN AL WAHA RESTAURANT 

The breakfast was delicious, offering a great selection: Western, Middle East and Asian style. Live station for pan cakes, eggs, noodle soup and and freshly squeezed juices. Really food for every continent, for everyone, so you won’t miss a thing. Every morning was enjoyable, when looking at the desert while having a cup of coffee. I would suggest you to sit outdoors.

 

SUNSET DINNER IN SUHAIL RESTAURANT

Food and drinks are a little bit pricy, but we believe that is due to the hotels costs of operating in the middle of the desert, with at least 200 km distance to the nearest city. The cocktails and the food were superb, the view and night sky was magnificent.

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SUNSET IN THE WORLD

Enjoyed the most beautiful sunset in my life and never felt so close to the sun, it looks like the sun is directly in front of me.

Honestly, I would say Anantara is more than a 5 start hotel resort, the staff is very friendly and helpful, you can call your private butler 24/7 and they will drive you anywhere in the hotel or provide you with room service. They prepared fresh fruits and dates in our vill, surprised us with a lovely chocolate mousse cake to congratulate for our honeymoon.

Qsar Al Saraq Anantara Resort is absolutely stunning. We wished we could stay longer here. Let me know in the comments if you have been here or if you are planning a trip there!

BEST HIGH TEA EVER AT AT.MOSPHERE

     Travel      54 Comments

The At.Mosphere is located in the highest building of Dubai, the Burj Khalifa. My husband celebrated his birthday and I surprised him with the visit to get the best high tea we ever had.

Driving with my husband to Burj Khalifa made me very excited. Driving through Dubai was impressive, seeing all of its tall and nice designed buildings. From the moment we arrived at the Armani Hotel, looking up at the super high building, it caught my heart.

And It was not only the warm welcome from the reception at the check-in, but also the staff that took us with an elevator ride up to 121st floor, which has shown me what good service really feels like.

I recommend you to request a window seat table to get the best breath-taking views of the city, with hopefully stunning clear blue sky as we had it on this day.

Inside the restaurant, the service was excellent, the staff was very nice and friendly, the music was really romantic. Especially the live violinist was wonderful, playing the best classic songs, making this place even more romantic. 

We had a luxurious high tea set for, in my point of view, high price, but  compared to what you get it was totally worth it – you only live once: Starting with a bottle of french sparking wine, followed by berries with cream, then a selection of sandwiches, unlimited sparkling water, tea and coffee. This great quality food made our day. Hope you can enjoy it, too 🙂

Each course came perfectly timed so that you don’t feel rushed and that you can enjoy the view of the skyline to the right, the desert to the left and below you with its huge shopping mall.

We have almost spent 2 and a half hour in the restaurant, without getting the feeling that the staff wants to get us out to reserve the seats for somebody else. 

As mentioned before, it is expensive but it is really worth it and you will not be disappointed. Trust me 🙂

After the main-course 3 layers of dessert came. The staff was very professional in explaining each course, the food presentation was outstanding.
