H
appy New Year! I hope you had a wonderful winter break and that you are braced for an
inspiring and fulfilling 2016.
Having ended last year and started this year on the idyllic island of Bali, I am well and
truly recharged and cued up to make this year
bigger and better, in every way
possible
, than last year.
January marks the point in the calendar where many people try and turn over a new leaf, whether that be
with taking up
sporting pursuits, sorting out their diets, taking up new hobbies
,
moving somewhere new or more generally trying to make
improvements to their lives
.
In this issue, we are lucky enough to have some delicious and nutritious recipes from Mango Menus to
inspire those of you looking for smoothie inspiration. We also have a feature from qualified Dietician Denise Fair
on what
foods are good for maintaining your youthful glow
.
We get together for a natter with several families who have gone through the
adoption process
here in Hong Kong
, learn from their experience and hear how it has
changed their lives for
the better
.
The main bulk of our January issue, however, is about one of many Hong Kongers'
favourite pastimes
– travel!
It is a
popular time of year to look ahead and plan your trips
, so we have
travelled far and wide to bring you features on a plethora of different destinations meeting different needs and
desires. We hope you will sit back and sail away in your armchair to a land far, far away and end up with some
great inspiration on where to take your family next!
Happy reading!
