BOTANICAL BEAUTS

Courtney Yeh July 14, 2016

Tom and I love to cook but buying herbs in this city is just absurdly pricey. That’s why we’ve been trying our hand at growing our own basil, rosemary, thyme and ginger… let’s just say, some are going better than others. What I like the most about it is how much the green adds life and brightness to our home. Since then, I haven’t been able to stop filling the apartment with any sort of botany I can get my hands on.

When I go to work, I really dislike wearing anything tight and uncomfortable that I have to sit in for 8 hours. That's why I was instantly drawn to these giant sleeves and square cut.

HK

Took a last minute trip home for a week to see family. During this trip, I mostly worked from home and hung out with my family. It was pretty rough going out anyway - once you stepped outside, you were immediately sweating and suffocated by the humidity. On top of that, it was about 100 degrees. My mom and I did go out to check out a few new spots that I haven't seen - the Innovation Tower at PolyU, and the HK Walls in Sham Shui Po. The inside of the Innovation Tower is like the futuristic Men In Black office - all white and sleek with black floors. My kind of color palette! There was a white staircase in the middle of the building that went all the way up the 13 floors and towered over you. My uni definitely wasn't this cool!

The HK Walls was another fun (but sweaty) adventure. We printed the map from the website, and walked around the area to find all the artists' work in the alleyways and on the buildings of an old residential area.

Blank Slate

Hello! It's been a while since I wrote. It's been a crazy month with projects and presentations at work, a one-day work trip, an impromptu visit back to Hong Kong for a week, planning our Sisters Trip and much more. There's not enough hours in a day. I pack each day with as much as I can take, and still, my to-do list is overflowing and never ending. Last weekend, I think my brain crashed - I couldn't get off the couch. So we watched Man in the High Castle from start to finish, all 10 hour-long episodes. Yes, I felt very guilty that I wasted a whole day, but thinking back, it was such a good break! My eyes were hurting by the end of episode 8, but I was hooked and I couldn't stop! I think it was my body hitting the restart button, and it was great! I feel refreshed and ready to conquer the rest of the month. Bring it on SF!
