The travel diares: Hong Kong part 2

Here it is, second part of my stay in Hong Kong, last summer.






My friends know me well and they took me out for the most local and authentic food. Dim sum is one of my favourite things ever and this one, at a market in Hong Kong, was de-li-ci-oooous! Plus, I got to see the master at its craft!





Hong Kong has so many street art, you just have to look for it.



Albus and I went to visit an old prison (he did feel a little odd, remembering his stay in Azkaban and all).

The best way to end the day? Late afternoon hike! Yay!!


Albus enjoyed the view.



My last activity in Hong Kong was visiting the Big Buddha in Lantau Island.







Upon arriving, I wasn't sure if I should go to the Buddha first and then do the hike or the other way around. I'm glad I did the Buddha first. Scroll down the photos and you'll see why.



And this scenery was just...wow!








To end the day, a visit to Po Lin Monastery.





As I made my way back to the bus, this was my final sight: the Buddha completely covered by clouds. Good thing I took Albus there first, right?


This was Hong Kong for me. I was quite tired and didn't feel like waking up too early to do stuff, but I did manage to see a few things.

Stay tuned. There are still some pictures left to show before I'm ready to head back to Lisbon. Albus and I made one more stop...

Universal

Being an enthusiast of all things from The Body Shop, I'm always looking forward for new products and ranges. Recently, the brand launched their Smoky Poppy line, with Turkish poppies and just in time for Valentine's day. I have featured the body lotion on this month's wishlist, but along with the line came another product. These Velvet Sticks are suitable for lips and cheeks. The colours look vivid here, but I tested them in the store and was a little disappointed. The coral one was also on my wishlist, but I found the colour to be very light on the lips.  So what did I bring? See the black one? "Black lipstick and black blush?" Naah!! The packaging is gorgeous, but I'm a sucker for black and pink. Also the poppy flower print blends in very well with the logo! Here's what's interesting: this stick is called "universal" because it works for everyone. But not everyone will get the same shade! The colour changes according to your skin's pH

Tuesday with a little Tease

Image
Enjoying my first day off from work, I went with a friend to a bakery called TEASE . It's a rock 'n' roll bakery (so they say) and in fact, the only reason I noticed it was because they were playing Guns N' Roses one night (it's open until 11pm, perfect for a snack at night). But here's the thing: although they call themselves a rock 'n' roll bakery , the inside suggests a whole different thing! The decoration is very vintagelike, the food looks delicate and yummi... Cupcakes, muffins, milkshakes and teas, toats, salads, all of this to the sound of Florence and the Machine, Friendly Fires and many others. Perfect for an afternoon with a friend or a date with your sweetheart! This time, pictures will be mainly of food but more will come, featuring the decoration and furniture! Yummi dreams, XOXO, M P.S: Any additional information about the place, click here !

5 fashion things having a job has taught me

Image
Ever since I finished college and started working, some changes have happened in my fashion life. I am the youngest member of the staff, this is my first (almost) full time job and the environment, although casual and laid back, requires a certain discretion and poise on my part. #1 Working at a school and having to deal with the parents as well as with the kids, cleavage/see-throughs/extremely short shorts and skirts are frowned upon. The first two are just rude in a school environment. As for skirts and shorts, I wear them a lot during winter (with tights!), but it becomes tricky in spring. I only wear them when it's to warm to consider anything else. Harem/aladdin pants are also acceptable. Just remember: the shorter the bottoms, the more coverage you should have on your top, going for a boat or round neck tshirt. #2 Balance your makeup. I struggled a little with this one. As much as I love black eyeliner, even when I use a super thin brush, I rarely make a thin line. This m
