MsCellania – March 2023
I like gadgets, new inventions, trends, stuff. Spending weeks on the painful but necessary task of chucking so much away upon which I'd spent good money after the amalgamamation of Hong Kong and London households has not cured me of my FOMO but I am pleased to say...
Spin pins
A couple of years ago my hairdresser decided to chop my hair short to help me cope with the heat and humidity here in HK. I don't blame him, he was just getting to know my hair and it seemed like a sensible thing to do. It ended up a frizzy mess, though, and I've been...

Dr Dennis Gross Spectralite LED Eyecare Mask
