Winter Body Lust

This entry is again dedicated to my girl friends. <3

You know holiday season is around the corner when you find yourself randomly humming Christmas carols at work - yes, that's me! :)

Thanksgiving + Christmas + New Year
= Lots of lots of food and wine + Crazy Shopping + Even more friends and family gatherings
= Double/ triple calories and no exercise + Seasonal financial crisis + more social (i.e. more food and alcohol) + Stress

The same equation repeats every year.

Peppermint Mocha and Hazelnut Chocolate Chip Muffin - Who can resist these holiday babies??

But this winter, I found a series of nice indigenous solutions to make my Holiday sweet treats a little less sinful:)


It all started on Thanksgiving day. I've been struggling to find a zen, relaxing but not pushing body treatment place in Hong Kong; on this very special day, thanks to Winda's recommendation, I started a  treatment course at INGRID MILLET Paris, spent my Thanksgiving afternoon here with a 3 hr body treatment + deep cleansing and collagen facial.... It was simply refreshing and heavenly!


Black Friday. I was back for a firming treatment. This is absolutely addicting. And I must say, out of all facial places I have tried, Ingrid Millet so far gives me the one of fastest and most satisfying results. 
Staffs are nice too. Would highly recommend to friends.

This is me right after facial. No makeup.

Saturday. While waiting for parents, I went into mom's spa place for another detoxifying massage and eye treatment. That one hurt a little... plus, there was some awkward moment too. Anyhow, I felt light and healthy again.

Got another Spa date this weekend. This one is in Repulse Bay. Will recommend if I like it.

Now Beauty sleep time. Night night, world.

Social Network + Turkey

I almost had the most meaning and luxurious Thanksgiving day today.

First, I had a 3hr full body treatment + facial with Winda. 

Then it came highlight of the day --- watching the movie Social Network.

It totally made me miss college, with intelligent people around. Made me wonder where did they all go? sigh

Oh and that reminds me I do actually own a Harvard hoodie, got it from my Harvard grad cousin before Harvard turned me down and that was how I ended up at Berkeley... Memories.

P.S. Rowers ARE hot!!
