Knick-Knack HK haul

EN

Today's post will be all about my purchases that I've made in Hong Kong! I guess I can be a vain person as well and that is something I can't do much about it. I just like to shop! Luckily I usually make purchases that I actually need in life or are on sale. I'm all about the sales as well.

Everyone needs food right so of course I had to buy food. I also bought handy kitchen tools because good cooking is important to me. Another thing that is important to me is good skincare so I've also purchased some new beauty products for care and a little pampering as well. And lastly some nifty handy gadgets and stationery stuff, just to make working comfier!

De blogpost van vandaag gaat over mijn aankopen uit Hong Kong! Het straalt misschien ijdelheid uit maar dat is iets waar ik ook weinig aan kan doen. Ik ben nou eenmaal dol op winkelen. Gelukkig koop ik meestal dingen die ik echt nodig heb of zijn ze in de aanbieding.

Iedereen heeft eten nodig dus kocht ik uiteraard eten. Ik kocht daarnaast ook handige keukenhulpjes want essentieel koken is prioriteit. Een goede huidverzorging is ook prioriteit dus kocht ik ook nieuwe verzorgingsproducten. Een beetje jezelf verwennen mag ook wel. Tot slot heb ik handige gadgets en schrijfwaren gekocht, want die zorgen ervoor dat ik goed mn werk kan doen!

Food
When I`m abroad, my mission in finding new food is even greater and so in HK I was having fun time in 7-Eleven, Circle-K, Wellcome, Aji Iciban and food festival `Food Expo` (more about this soon!).
Kitchen
Really happy with that glass pan!
Beauty
All Asian brands. Happy to be able to try out new stuff! Like the Hada Labo lotion and face wash, Tony Moly sheetmasks and The Face Shop eye cream.
Me and my niece discovered a Tony Moly outlet and bought lots of cheap stuff like this cutie here.

The cute looking cotton pads were not really on my wishlist but I had to buy them because I forgot to bring my own from home for my 4-week stay in HK...
Gadgets

This time in HK I have discovered an amazing shop called `MINISO名創優品`! It`s a household item shop with products of lovely Japanese design and everything is sold at a very affordable price. I have bought teapots for my tea loving friends and I have bought myself this AMAZING usb connected lamp!
Stationery
I used to write `stationery` as `stationary` with an A because I thought it was the same thing? Like the word `grey` and `gray` right? Turns out both have a different meaning... oops. Anyway, I bought stationery! For all your stationery/craft in HK you should go to CN Square 中南廣場 which is a 5-floor shop!
As you can see these pens have a biodegradable shell and because I support cute design, small businesses and mostly anti-food waste I purchased 3 of these pens. The colored caps may fool you for being a coloring pen because they are actually all black colored ballpoint pen.

    Oh wow! The kitchen stuff and that little light look amazing.
    I dunno why, but I was amused by "banana tic tacs".
    Very cute and awesome haul.
    Would love to hear more about some of these products in the future too.

    Ah, i miss HK :(
    whenever I went to HK, it was only for very few days, like 3 or 4 days. not enough to see everything and find cool things to buy. I mainly spent too much time at the grocery stores and Sasa though :P
    Lol you even bought the chitato mie goreng flavor! everyone was so hyped when the news broke out (because well, I live in Indonesia, where that chitato thing came first) and honestly, it wasn't as extravagant as I thought it'd be :))

EN This week is officially my back-to-work week from my 6 wonderful weeks off Summer break.

EN It’s holidays and Liberation Days in The Netherlands and with all these delicious day offs, I’ve finally got more time to do my yarn works. And yes sleeping in late is also great. But mostly I’ve been really productive with my yarn works, whereas the most recent ones - the puff pastry/Danish I have received a fair amount of likes and sweet comments on my social media. Thank you! Being productive means also I take effort and time in perfecting my yarn works but not too hard to make luckily! Especially the snail rolls (cinnamon rolls/pain aux raisin) are really easy and fun to make. And because sharing is caring, I’m sharing you my little secret of making these crochet cinnamon rolls!    NL Heerlijk de meivakantie met al die vrije dagen kan ik lekker ongestoord op mijn haak werkjes storten.
