Hangzhou to Qiandaohu Travel Guide : A Cultural Escape for the Young at Heart

Celebrating My 50th Birthday in Eastern China: A Soulful Escape to Hangzhou, Hongchun & Qiandaohu Turning 50 wasn’t just a milestone! It was a whisper from my soul to pause, breathe, and wander somewhere poetic. So last October, I gifted myself a journey to Eastern China, embracing the gentle rhythm of Hangzhou, the timeless charm of Hongchun, and the serene waters of Qiandaohu (Thousand-Island Lake). No rush. No pressure. Just me, my curious heart, and a knee that demanded kindness. My Route: Hangzhou → Hongchun → Qiandaohu → Hangzhou Days 1–4: Hangzhou – Where Heaven Meets Earth They say, “In heaven there is paradise, on earth there is Hangzhou.” I now understand why. Where I Stayed: Nostalgia S Hotel (Hubin Hefang Street)  Strategically located—just a stroll away from Qinghefang Street, West Lake, Lingyin Temple, and the metro. Be careful not to confuse it with the similarly named hotel inside West Lake it’s a bit too chaotic for my taste. What I Did: Qiantang Canal Cruise ...

It’s a high-caffeinated beverage with a twist— 200mg of caffeine paired with Ashwagandha , the apoptogenic herb known for calming nerves and sharpening focus. No more jittery hands or sudden energy crashes. Just clean energy that actually keeps you clear-headed. The story behind Leonhart is just as powerful as its k...

Best Sunscreen for Glowing Skin in Malaysia? I tried Sunplay's Tone Up UV Essense

  No Filter Needed, Just Fabulous Skin – Meet My New Sunscreen BFF Let’s face it—some days, I just want to slap on one product and head out looking like I actually got eight hours of sleep and drank two litres of water. Enter Sunplay Skin Aqua Tone-Up UV Essence Blue . One swipe and boom! Skin looks brighter, fresher, and basically like I have my life together. (Even when I don’t. Shhh...) This little blue tube comes armed with SPF50+ PA++++—basically a knight in shimmering armor for my skin. And can we talk about that Iridescent Strobe Pearl magic? It gives that subtle glow that says, “I woke up like this,” without screaming “I’m wearing sunscreen, can’t you tell?!” Glow Up While You Show Up What I love most? It’s more than just a sunscreen. It’s skincare in disguise. Think: hyaluronic acid to keep skin plump and juicy, vitamin C to fight dullness, and calming cica to hush any angry patches. And yes, this baby is gentle enough for sensitive skin—no mineral oil, no parabens, and no...
