How To Recreate One Of Our Favorite Hong Kong Desserts

It’s been one year since our trip to Hong Kong, and if there’s one thing we’d be willing to go back for, it’s the ice cream and waffle combination we found at Oddies Foodies. Darby found photos of this incredible dessert and the treat immediately made it to the top of our “must eat” list. After strolling the streets of Wan Chai to find this place, getting distracted by an In and Out store and finally spotting the line from down the street, it was our turn to order. (We're pre

Here's How To Have A Vacation Without Leaving Home

We’re not sure if it’s because it’s still cold outside or because it’s been a while since we last travelled — but something has us dying to visit somewhere new and, preferably, warm. As much as we’d like to, it’s not always realistic to pack up our bags and take a vacation. So, we’ve been steady brainstorming ways we can make home feel like some kind of getaway, and honestly, we think we’ve found the perfect solution to giving yourself a break — without hopping on a plane. Yo

Darby's Letter To Hong Kong

Ahhh, Hong Kong. What can I say about this wonderful city? Augusta had already been to Hong Kong. When she returned home from her study abroad trip, I knew I wanted to go, too. I think everyone deserves to have an experience where you travel alone and abroad, it helps you learn more about yourself. It forces you to be in situations you wouldn’t necessarily have ever had a chance to be in. At times you are definitely out of your comfort zone. View from my dorm window. Now that

12 Of Our Best Moments In Hong Kong

Upon reflecting on our trip, it was hard to come up with a list of our "best" moments in this city. There were so many good times that it was hard to narrow it down to just a few of our favorites. Because honestly, just getting to experience traveling Hong Kong together was a dream come true for both of us. But, because we thought it'd be fun to cover the highlights of our trip, we made ourselves pick out some of the favorite places we visited and things we experienced throug

All The Coffee Shops The L & L Girls Went To While In Hong Kong

Before we left for our trip to Hong Kong, I wrote a Dream Café List for the blog. It was sort of a café bucket list for us. I did research and found the best of the best, ranging from a Parisian café on Montmartre to a café shaped like a camera in South Korea. Two of the cafés on the list were actually in Hong Kong. The L & L girls managed to go to both of them, checking a couple of spots on the list. And we can honestly say those were some of our favorite moments of the trip

The Labels & Lacquer Approved Hong Kong Survival Guide

We had such a wonderful time in Hong Kong. However, there were certain items we needed on us at all times, to ensure we kept having a good time. We walked so much in HK, and we needed to make sure we stay hydrated at all times. Traveling can take a lot out of you. So our #1 tip would to make sure you have one to two water bottles on you. ALWAYS. There is so much to see and do in the city, so we highly recommend you make this your next travel destination. Shopping, yummy food,

5 Current Fashion Trends The Labels & Lacquer Girls Noticed In Hong Kong

A Guide To Juicing In Hong Kong

We've never really been big into multi-day juice cleanses or anything of the sort. We appreciate food waaay too much for that. But, juice can be such a nice, filling pick-me-up that we like the idea of sipping on a juice quite a lot (as long as it doesn't have to replace our lunch). We'd never found ourselves in need of such a nourishing snack than while out and about (walking at least 8 miles a day) in the crazy busy city of Hong Kong. Luckily, there are juice bars all over

Find Out All About Our Hong Kong-Inspired Pampering Session

The Labels and Lacquer girls would have walked into every single storefront in Hong Kong if we could have. There’s so much shopping to be done in this city, which is a major reason why those who (like us) are fashion/beauty obsessed would want to visit. While walking around Central one day, the Hong Kong-version of Ulta, named Sasa (how funny), caught our eye, and we spent some time looking through some pretty incredible Chinese beauty products. It was overwhelming in there,

The Mini Hotel: Where The Labels and Lacquer Girls Are Staying In Hong Kong

During our vacation in Hong Kong, we are staying at the the Mini Hotel. We had actually come across this hotel before when we were doing a search for dream hotels across the globe. Because, yes, that's just the kind of thing we spend our time doing. What can we say? The L & L girls like to be fully prepared for all their future vacations. We remembered the Mini Hotel, because the theme of the entire hotel is, well, mini. The rooms are smaller than normal- they are cute and f
