The Arts
At the end of 2020, we got to travel back to Hong Kong to see family. Being with loved ones during such an isolated year made the biggest emotional and mental difference. We went through the 14 day hotel quarantine where they slapped on a wristband tracker and forced you to stay in the room the entire quarantine. My family brought us food and games, and spent most of the time working, eating, exercising and binge watching TV shows like Queens Gambit and Emily in Paris. After being released from quarantine prison, we took the opportunity to explore the city while the streets were less busy than usual. My favorite place this trip? Hands down the West Kowloon Cultural District.
This is the newly built Opera House - part of the Arts District. Across the street, there is a large grassy area for picnics by the promenade. There are multiple museums, theatres and installations in development right now, which will eventually be the world’s largest cultural quarters with a blend of music, art, performance and education. It is AMAZING and you can read more here! The lack of emphasis on the arts was a big reason why I left Hong Kong, and I’m so happy they are finally investing time, money and space to let art breathe in the concrete jungle.

Had a nice trip to Joshua Tree over Labor Day weekend, even though the heat was a killer! We went on a short hike, and climbed on the famous jumbo rocks. At night we BBQed at the house for dinner, and played lots of games till late. We spent our last night on the top of Keys View enjoying the beautiful purple sunset right before the storm came through. Wanted to share some photos here that I took and some promo codes to awesome stojo cups that we used over the weekend! Scrooolll on down!
Thanks Lexus for the wheels! Was so lucky to have such a smoooth ride into the desert. #lexustestdrive #lexusrx
In my last post from June, I’ve been pursuing the beginnings of a sustainable lifestyle and it’s been a difficult road. If you’re going down this same route, you know that being sustainable is never the most convenient and takes a lot of effort to keep it up. But one thing I have been very consistent about is bringing my Stojo cup everywhere. It’s so easy to collapse and put in your bag, and seal it airtight so it doesn’t spill. I absolutely love my cup and we’re offering 15% off the cups on Stojo.co! Check out all the beautiful colors and sizes they have!
