This month was all about preparing for the in-laws biannual trek from the UK to Hong Kong. And while that meant prepping our master bedroom, reading up on easy (but uber complicated looking) meals to...
Feeling pasty and utterly burnt out from a long year, Jess, Lilia (both doctors) and I decided to take a long-weekend getaway to Phuket last month to unwind. Between our hectic jobs, work travel, managing...
