Elsa Jeandedieu, French painter and visual artist, just opened her online shop

If you love wandering the streets of Soho and Sheung Wan, chances are great that you have already encountered one of Elsa’s murals. You might have met Elsa do Brasil on the wall of Uma Nota on Peel Street or the Gipsy Queen on the wall of Bedu on Gough Street. French painter, visual artist, entrepreneur and founder of Elsa Jeandedieu Studio but also competitive trail runner, Elsa definitely is an inspiring person! If you love her art as much as I do and wouldn’t say no to having one of her signature smiley faces bringing life and laughter to your interior, then you’ll be happy to hear she just opened her online shop selling beautiful art prints of her most iconic murals.

barkTHINS allows you to indulge on chocolate while not feeling (too) guilty

Are you a choco-addict? I am! I can’t help but snacking on chocolate, it’s just so good. Well, I mean it’s good for my mood and feels good in my tummy but not 100% sure about how good it is for my health and wellness. But lucky me, I recently discovered (thanks to the lovely team at Barre2Barre, my beloved gym studio) the snacking chocolate from barkTHINS and been addicted to those delicious, satisfying Fair Trade dark chocolate bites packed with non-GMO super ingredients such as coconut, quinoa or pumpkin seed since then. Yummy and guilt-free!

kapok has launched its brand new webshop

kapok is my go to concept store for whenever I’m looking for something cool, trendy or just some lifestyle inspo. I’m highly and equally obsessed with both their Wan Chai shop (RIGHT HERE TO REDISCOVER THE 15 REASONS WHY WE LOVE THE SUN STREET/STAR STREET/MOON STREET NEIGHBORHOOD) and their K11 Musea one (REDISCOVER OUR TOP 5 STORES TO SHOP AT AT K11 MUSEA). They do have this very cool European concept-stores vibes and I could easily spend hours browsing at their beauty selection. Well, not sure if that’s good news for my wallet but their website just went through a nice lifting and all their products are now available online including their super cool in-house fashion brand Future Classics but also their beautiful candles selection (I’m obsessed with candles) and of course their perfect selection of nice beauty brands.

Impossible^TM plant-based dishes are now available on Deliveroo and Foodpanda

Are you still working from home? I’ve been on and off my office over the past few weeks, making it slightly challenging to stick to my “eat healthy during the week so that you can indulge on weekends” philosophy. I don’t know why but whenever I’m at home, I tend to have way less self-control than when I’m in the office and crave for comforting food. Well, be it. But if I’m going to indulge I can at least try and make it a sustainable feast by replacing meat with Impossible^TM plant-based dishes: I absolutely love Beef & Liberty’s burgers and their Impossible^TM options are just as good as their meaty ones, so are the Impossible^TM dumplings from Chili Fagara and the Impossible^TM Bao from Little Bao.
