• Lifestyle crush: ROSA MUNDI collection x diptyque

Valentine’s day is just around the corner, this is the season of love, and I think I have found the most romantic collab of 2017. Beautiful brand diptyque has partnered with Antoinette Poisson, French creator and restorer of domino paper, to create a romantic limited edition around the iconic fragrance ROSA MUNDI. The result? Two adorable and beautiful floral motifs mixing pink and green to illustrate this romantic and invigorating rose. The scented candle (of course), the multiuse fragrance, the scented oval and the scented paper … I want absolutely each and every piece of this collection!
 
ROSA MUNDI Scented Candle HKD600/190g & HKD330/70g – L’Eau Dominotée Multiuse Fragrance HKD780 – ROSA MUNDI Scented Oval HKD450 – ROSA MUNDI Scented Paper HKD600
 

• Boozy crush: Winter Revival Cocktails x Honi Honi

Our favorite Tiki (Polynesian style) bar in town, Honi Honi Tiki Cocktail Lounge, is serving three new cocktails to spice up the winter season. A very good reason to check the 29^th bar on the list of Asia’s 50 best bars, don’t you think?
Looking for something surprising? The Hot Buttered Rum – Bacardi 8 Year Old Rum, Honi Honi spiced sugar, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, honey and cloves is a winner. Looking for something regressive? I got an addiction to the White Puerto Rican – Don’O Cristal Rum, dark cacao liqueur and a splash of fresh cream. But the ultimate wintery cocktail is definitely the Tiki Spiced Apple Cider with apple cider, apple juice, homemade cinnamon syrup and spices … A true killer!
 
Available until CNY
 

• Fashion crush: Amanda n.

Again Valentine’s Day is just around the corner and what says Valentine’s Day better than beautiful jewels? I just discovered this Amanda n., a French brand, and absolutely love it. Italian chains, French velvet, Swarovski crystals, Thai ribbons … each piece and each elements has a story. I love the easy to wear bands and also must confess a crush on the more imposing Manchette Dentelle and Manchette Olympe Pastel. Definitely thinking on spoiling myself with one or two new pieces!
 

• Foodie crush: J.CO Donuts

Ok, I know I have swear on January 1^st that I will eat clean this month. But pictures of J.CO Donuts have popped up all over my Instagram and I needed to give it a try.
What to expect? Fluffy donuts and yummy fillings. I must confess a big crush on the white chocolate ring donut with toasted almonds. But if you are looking for something different why not check the Avocado DiCaprio (brilliant name!) with avocado and chocolate crunch.
Funky donuts, funky names (I mean Blueberrymore, Copa Banana, Jacky Chunk, Why Nut … How cool are those names?). I am afraid 2017 is not gonna be the healthy year I was hoping for.
