Mum about town

Aude Camus shares her birthday plans

I am a March baby and I love that Hong Kong’s climate at this time of year means I can celebrate on the beach. Once again, I’m planning a barbecue party at Lantau Diner on Cheung Sha Beach. With sand between my toes, champagne in hand, lobster and sirloin on the grill, surrounded by friends and babies playing in the sand – that’s my definition of the perfect birthday.

Since we will be spending plenty of time at the beach in the next few months, I am currently on the hunt for the cutest beach outfits for Noa. Retykle is a treasure trove when it comes to beautiful, highly discounted, second-hand designer kids’ clothes. Plus, their revamped website makes it super easy to find all the adorable things I need (or don’t!). I also love the selection of sustainable kids’ brands on TADA!, a Hong Kong-based online conceptstore which stocks ridiculously cute swimsuits and rash guards.

Speaking of the beach, I’m currently working on my beach body. On Saturday mornings, you’ll find me hiking up the Peak with Noa in her stroller. Once we reach the summit, we enjoy a nice leisurely stroll, and a banana break (her new thing!).
