  • A personal fave - impossible meat burrito bowl 🍲 ($128 with 🥑) - Here are some of my other go-tos 💁🏻‍♀️ Fete Up ($83) Nood food salads ($68) Tamjai Samgor no noodles ($57) 🙋🏻‍♀️ Plz comment your favourite post-gym / healthy budget eats! Need some inspiration! - From @calimextaqueria via @foodpanda_hongkong
  • My workout routine changes from week to week. Mostly because I can’t stand to do the same thing again and again (ADD), but also because it’s important to keep working different parts and functions of your body to constantly challenge it. Weights keep me strong, but Pilates or Barre teaches me to work all the tiny muscles, my mobility and posture. Yoga is essential to slowing down my mind and keeping stress at bay. 👌 - Personally I do: 1-2 x weights/HIIT/circuit 1 x Pilates/Barre 1-2 x yin yoga or ariel stretch Per week What’s you’re routine? - Thanks @barreformula for a great class ❤️ (self paid via @guavapasshongkong)
  • Oops missed #NationalComingOutDay 🌈 - I’m blessed because I never really had a bad coming out experience. In fact I totally skipped it altogether because I just expected people to treat it as normal that I have a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend - and thankfully people did. My family still sometimes think I will eventually marry a man (hey which I’m bi so it’s not impossible), but I make no secret that I may also marry a woman. 🤷🏻‍♀️ - In any case, I’m thankful for having someone that lets me be me and helps me grow as a person and as a partner. I can’t wait for more growing pains, more laughter and more epiphanies with this beautiful gentle soul. Love you @zarahtang ❤️ - Cover photo by @gabriellesalonga 📸 her stuff is amazing, go give her a follow for reals
  • Life is looking a bit like this right now, and I hear it’s not just me that’s feeling a bit unmotivated, lacking in energy and just generally being a bit of a downer sat here waiting for something exciting to come through. 🙃 ————— It’s ok tho fam, I’m right here with you. Just smile through the weird headspace and inch forward - if you can’t, then use this time to take stock and pause. Go for a walk, a massage, make yourself feel good then try it again. Good luck X
  • Body positivity is not: Being complacent, encouraging obesity, or normalizing bad health. It is: Loving your body the way it’s built, nourishing your body, training to be stronger, and enjoying life in this vessel and celebrating your capacity to do so. It is a part of mental strength and health to live unapologetically for your size. ————— So the next time you’re feeling like you’re fat, or guilty, remember that negative feeling does nothing to encourage you to become better. Don’t let that become an excuse for you to feel defeated. Just focus on how you’re going to improve today, right now. And just keep on going. 💪🏻 ————— PS Thank you @superdry_sport @amytingtong for kitting your girl out! ❤️
