Patisserie, Hyatt Regency Hong Kong, Shatin

source: hotel website

I visited Patisserie of Hyatt Regency and it was quite good!

 

It's located at the lobby level of the hotel and there are only a few seats, a few inside and a few outside the patisserie. Not recommeneded for visit with more than two people.

 

 

I am not a big fan of apple pie but how I can not try this signature Shatin Apple Pie? It's claimed to be made of natural honey from a local apiary. I quite like it but as I said, I am not a big fan of it thus I can't make fair comment of this. I like it that the apple pieces were not too sour or too sweet.  

 

It was a nice afternoon with apple pie, hot lemon tea and some drizzles. Life is beautiful. :)

You can enjoy a slice of cake/apple pie of your choice and coffee/tea at HK$68 in the afternoon. The hotel is right next to the University Station so if you happen to be in Shatin and do not want to be in a crowded cafe, do consider visiting this patisserie. Enjoy!

Cosmopolitan及Elle九月號

香港的雜誌近年跟隨日本的做法，經常會隨書附送小禮物給讀者，不過質素參差，而今個月的Cosmopolitan及Elle給我小小的驚喜。

 

首先，Cosmopolitan隨書附送的是Kate Spade的Pouch Set，一紅一黑，一大一小：小的可以在使用小手袋的時候用，用來放八達通、信用咭及身份證等等；大的可以當作化妝袋、Clutch或者筆袋。這個是2012年雜誌送的禮物中最實用最漂亮的一款。今期的封面是徐子淇，styling及photography都美，BUY！

順帶一提，今季Kate Spade的手袋和衣服都令人引項以待，其中之一就是下面的Carissa dress。

Elle送的是agnes b的膠文件夾一套四個。每年我會視乎封面人物而買幾次Elle，但始終不太喜歡這本雜誌。

遍地白花和紫花。這個是我的首選。

Dermes

話寫話寫，等了又等還是未寫，今晚一定要寫完先訓！(好啦，我為左達到目的，連書面語都唔寫啦！)

話說我幾個月前開始喺dermes 做激光脫毛，去dermes嘅原因係朋友仔都係幫襯dermes，所以對dermes比較有信心。到而家已經去左三次 (每六星期一次)，我遇到嘅最大問題唔係做療程期間嘅小小痛，而係我對腳嘅皮膚實在太敏感，加上天氣熱，所以做完treatment之後一至兩個星期都起紅點，而且係非常痕，要不斷搽藥膏同用冰袋敷，先舒服返啲。

不過，我都係會堅持落去，亦recommend 大家去做，因為真係方便好多，朝早出門口之前唔使花時間去處理嘅毛毛，想幾時著無袖衫同短裙都得。唔好話underarm，就算成手都係毛毛都有礙觀瞻啦。

最後係廣告時間，我嘅therapist送左張voucher俾我，可以俾一位朋友同時試做upper lip同underarm一次，而平日網上登記嘅試做只可以二選一。張voucher係八月三十一日到期，有興趣就留言俾我啦。

好野，可以去訓啦！

期限

早幾天完成了另一次的護膚品及化妝品點算及清理行動。

很多人都不知道這些產品都是有期限的，而我們要留意的日子有兩個：一個是產品的到期日，另一個是產品開封後可以使用的期限。有些產品，特別是化妝品沒有標明後者，Bobbi
Brown在《Makeup Manual》中提供了以下指引：

粉底液、遮瑕膏、乾粉、胭脂、潤膚露、面霜：兩年
唇膏、眼綫筆：一年至一年半
睫毛液：六個月

Confession時間：以上是我上一次行動所丟棄的化妝品，而我明白了我購買的速度遠比使用的速度高，特別是眼影，所以我已大大減少購物！如果產品生產商可以產品的分量減少，那麼我們可以把產品用完再買，那就好了！

Chanel Fleur De Lotus Collection

It's Chanel again! My favourite makeup brand at this moment is definitely Chanel!

I received this EDM recently - it's a new limited Fleur de Lotus. Among all these items, my pick is the Aqualumiere Gloss 81 Roselin.  Look at this pink colour!

I haven't been to the shop recently so I don't know if they are available in Hong Kong. Argh...that's very tempting...

原稿紙

人在放假的時候，古怪的主意特別多。今次我想到用原稿紙寫博文。

原因有幾個︰首先，我的腦袋通常比我的手快，我經常遇到「忘了剛才要寫甚麼」的情況，而用紙筆就可以免卻這個問題；第二、電腦打字或多或少令我逐漸忘記一些字的寫法，執筆忘字的情況很常見，都是倉頡又或者速成輸入法的副產品；最後，是因為我的中文字寫得愈來愈難看，都是疏於練習之故，而原稿紙上的小格子可以幫助我把字寫得工整一點。

Blog Mission for August 2012

Summer holiday has started that I'd have a bit more time for some decent writing. A couple of topics that I need to write - Fours Seasons Hotel Hong Kong, Beijing trip 2012, my Ted Baker handbag, my recent wine class with BBR, Kate Spade Summer 2012 etc. All these will fill my August.

Looking forward to these.
