So it’s been an eventful week, but I’m so excited to say she’s here. Literally the cutest thing and we could not be more in love.

Promise I’ll be back into regular posts very soon and if you are interested in baby updates check out my other blog Baby by Christing C. for more about being a mommy from my point of view.

The last few days have been a hazy mess of naps and more naps. I’m not sure the final month of pregnancy will be very fun, but I’m looking forward to my baby shower this weekend and seeing some of my favourite girls before I go into pregnancy hiding for the final stretch.

For all those mommies or mommies to be I’ve started another blog for all my pregnancy and baby related posts that don’t fit here. Check it out if you haven’t already!

sparkling start

What better way to start off the week than with a bit of sparkle. We’ve gotten off to a busy start with plenty of reorganising and planning to do. Spring cleaning is commencing just a little earlier this year, which means I will be purging not only my wardrobe but our clusters of random goody bags, beauty products, and things we’ve picked up along the way. I think the boy and I have become slight hoarders since moving to HK, and it needs to stop now. Who needs every press release imaginable and a pile of unopened pink lip gloss I will never use? I’m looking forward to refining and categorising my wardrobe as well as making room for our new arrival. Speaking of… I have decided to start another blog for all things baby bump related. That way Fashion Hedonism can stay the same and for everyone who is interested in my pregnancy journey visit me here >>>>> Baby by Christing C.

Four Seasons Hong Kong Spa: Mother’s Love

written by ChristingC

All I dream of doing on a lazy Sunday is relaxing and indulging in pampering behaviour. The Four Seasons Spa is one of my favourite spots to unwind. Now that I have the baby bump in tow I am far more cautious about massages but am needing them more than ever. Four Seasons offers an amazingly luxurious experience for mommies to be. Their “Mother’s Love” package is two hours of absolute bliss, including a refreshing scrub, luxurious full body massage, and revitalising aloe wrap. I love the special cushion they provide for your bump so you are able to lie on your front and fully enjoy the experience. All products are from The Organic Pharmacy Mother and Baby range, which felt and smelled divine over my tired and stretched skin. If you are really looking for an escape, book one of the VIP suites which includes a relaxing daybed and plunge pool both overlooking the stunning harbour view. I brought along the boy and reveled in a few romantic, carefree hours. I felt so pampered with silky soft skin,and the best part was all my back aches had disappeared. A must have treat for expectant mommies.

Mother’s Love

120 Minutes including Full body scrub, massage, and aloe wrap.

Weekday $2300

Baby Bump

For those of you who follow me on Instagram (@ChristingC), you probably already know the boy and I are expecting 🙂 Already over 6 months along, so less than three months to go. Starting a family is a daunting step that we have discussed and anticipated for a little while now. The sensation of growing a little person inside of me is exhilarating in itself and I feel ecstatic with every hint of movement. I’m guessing our world is about to shift dramatically very soon, but I’m so excited to bring our little girl up in our carefree and non-conventional ways. The boy and I never were up for following the rules through marriage and I’m sure parenting will be a similar adventure for us. I was daydreaming today about the years I lived in London as an irresponsible single girl. Those years before I met the boy and before this blog began. I still can sense so many of that innocent girl’s passions and spontaneity in my daily decisions. Her nonchalant spirit and disregard for everyone’s expectations. Those elements are still so strong in my personality today. The main emotion I find missing are the random moments of loneliness that used to hit when I traipsed the cold streets with music blaring in my ears, family less holidays that quickly passed, and weekends in bed nursing my colossal hangovers. Loneliness is a very foreign emotion to me now and something I don’t ever want back. I am relishing the sense of belonging in this little family we will soon become.

I’m going to be posting more bump pics and recommending all my pre-mommy discoveries on here and Instagram (@ChristingC). Follow me and the hashtag #ccbabybump on Instagram for updates about pre-natal spa treatments, cute bump flattering outfits, baby outfit shopping, and pregnancy friendly workouts.

And for all of you who aren’t into the whole baby thing…don’t worry! Fashion Hedonism will still be all about outfit posts and fashion inspiration for you to browse.
