We’re crossing our fingers there’s no typhoons heading our way this weekend – there’s simply far too much fun stuff to do to stay indoors this summer!
Get your caffeine fix!
Coffee lovers, we’ve spotted a great deal you need to know about! Nespresso has an awesome summer promotion on their brilliant PIXIE coffee machines that we just had to share – if you buy one sometime this month, you’ll automatically receive $300 club credit for you to spend towards your next Nespresso purchase (perfect for stocking up on your fave coffee capsules!). We’re totally loving the super on-trend PIXIE colours too – steel blue, carmine red and lime – which will definitely look fab in our kitchens; the carmine one is even made from 98% recycled coffee capsules, which is great news for all you eco-conscious coffee drinkers. Summer bargain + great coffee = thanks a latte, Nespresso!

Get out on the seven seas with a weekend boat trip, explore one of Hong Kong’s amazing islands, check out some of the city’s best scenery on one of our top five hikes, catch the breeze (and perhaps an Ocean Breeze or two *wink*) at an awesome alfresco bar or just spend a super lazy beach day catching some rays – the choice is yours!
