"A woman who has recently had a baby is like a car that has been driven from Mongolia to Hong Kong. That car really needs some maintenance. You wouldn’t expect that car to run well for long if you kept putting gas in the gas tank and neglected the systems that combust that fuel, would you?"⁠

We’re told it’s going to be tough, but does anything truly prepare you for the realities of breastfeeding? 🤱🏻⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I’m eight months into breastfeeding my second-born, a gorgeous, chubby baby girl. Each night, at 7pm you’ll find me in the nursing chair feeding her to sleep. But it certainly wasn't what I expected after not having the greatest experience breastfeeding my firstborn. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
There were, quite literally, blood and tears. I scoured the internet. I poured over parenting books. I sought help from lactation consultants. Nose to nipple, hamburger grip, different nursing positions, wait until the mouth is wide open, make sure the chin isn’t tucked. I’d ace the written exam, but could I do the practical? No.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The second time round has not been without challenges, and it's not over yet. For now, I’m just thankful. Thankful that, despite the obstacles, the story of my breastfeeding journey has been rewritten.⁠⁠

Busy Hong Kong schedules coupled with occasional (ahem, regular) sleepless nights 😴 – the effects of parenting can sometimes have a less than desired impact on our appearance. Telltale tired eyes and a slightly less than glowing complexion are just a couple of reasons why we love a good facial treatment! 💆‍♀️⁠
⁠
Including @highsocietyskinclinic @estheclinic.hk @peninsulahongkong and more, we've picked out some of the city's best facial treatments for hydrating, lifting and reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to help you feel a little bit sassier. Go on, treat yourself... 💝
